WAR SHIP TO BLUEFTELDS.
State Department Orders Serious
Situation Investigated.

State Department Orders Serious
Situation Investigated.
A serious condition prevails at Blue
fields. Nicaragua, and the evident danger
TO American property and interests has
caused the State Department TO make
arrangements for an investigation and
for the presence at Bluefelds Of the
American gunboat Marietta
IN the last five days there has been a
good deal OF rioting al Bluehelds, and
hundreds Of acres OF bananas have been
destroyed.
The situation became such that Mr.
Clancy. the American vice consul at that
point, made strong representations to
Gov Estrada, and demanded that mar
tial law be declared. This was done. but
Indications are that the action has not
tended TO improve the situation much.
The Blueields Steamship Company. an
American concern, Is seriously affected
py the trouble. and has made representa-
tons TO the State Department. The YES
sells Of the company carry fruit from
Nicaragua 10 New Orleans.

duras, and there pick up Drew Linard.

fields. where ne VIII assist Mr.. Clancy
In making an investigation.
So far the State Department does not
know whether the trouble IS due 10 mere
labor difficulties or 10 anti-American agi-
tatiOn- It is said TO be probable that the
dislike for Americans prevailing through
out Nicaragua especially In governmental
circles. has a good deal 10 do with the
matter

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL REVIEW.
Hardware, Iron Coal and Textile Con-
ditiOns i'm the South the Past Week.

Although several influences tended
to slow down enthusiasm among hard
ware dealers during February, the
trade has continued good the past
week, setting another high mark. Only
one event II the week has had ten
dency to check business, and that has
been in the few sections that have suf-
utaries of the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers. These sections are few and
small, and the effect will be felt in
only a few jobbing markets. The
pending tariff measure at Washington
continues to retard the operations of
manufacturers, but in the main they
are being rushed on by the heavy de-
mand of jobbers, and retailers are CIV
en- little time to get set in the old
practice Of waiting on legislation.
This effect is felt to a considerable
degree but much less than in past
years, when Congress had such mea-
sures under consideration.
Quite a difference of opinion ap
pears to exist between jobbers and
manufacturers, the former taking the
most optimistic view of things, while
the latter are ultra-conservative. The
retailer, however, is enjoying a sp1en-
did trade, and continues to order lib
orally for early delivery. Whether it
is the unknown result of the traiff
emasure or the practice of making the
other fellow carry the stock, is not
known, but the fact remains that very
few orders for fall delivery are being
placed with jobbers. Retailers are
busy enough with the spring trade,
but statesmen have been unable to get
their attention thus far on fall busi-
ness.
The markets. are remaining steady,
with no changes at all in the past
week. High authorities in the trade
expect this condition to remain un-
changed for the greater part of the
spring, but declare that they can see
no way Of avoiding a general advance
when the spring rush is over. So far
as building operations are concerned,
the South seldom has more doing in
this line than at present. Every city
in the Sout.. is having almost a build
ing boom, many of the larger points
reporting more activity than they
have seen for several years. In the
country also, especially with the COT
ton farming classes, much building is
under way and this has created an un-
usual demand for building hardware.

cy upward, but it is only a tendency
