Among the Icbonns; classes there is already great suffering, owing to the high prices of foodstuffs and the lack o work resulting from the blockade. Fully 1.000 men in La Guayra rely for their livelihood upon the work of shift ing cargoes from steamers and sailing vessels to the railroad. Most of these men are rendered idle and will prob ably remain so as long as the blockade lontinues. The Venezuelan authorities fear acts of violence against the prop erty of foreigners. When the freight now on hand has ! en moved on the railroads to Cara cas and Valencia both of these lines will close. Further advances in the prices of foodstuffs will then take place. The Dutch steamship Prins Williem IV is due here tomorrow from Europe. The agent of the line experts to obtain ; cimission to land her iarge cargo.

He said : "We would have preferred to have President Roosevelt as the arbitrator rather than a foreign tribunal, but we are1 convinced of the justice of our canoe and of the sincerity of our good friends in Washington. We adopt with greatt willingness the course which they wish) ns to pursue. We regret to say the vioUoit conduct of Germany and to a less degree of England has tended to bring the older civilizations into dis repute in South America. For this I am sorry."

Figures Covering 11 Months Show that Importations are Double Those of Preced ing Eleven Months Washington. D. C, Dec. 31. The un exampled demand in the United States for manufactures of iron and .steel, to which allusion has frequently been made of late, is illustrated by the statistics of thr? importation of iron and steel manufactures just issued by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics; these figures cover 11 months of the year 1902 and show that tne imrorta tions during that time are more than double, in value, those of the corre sponding months f ihe preceding year and indicate that for the full calendar year 1902 the total value of iron and steel imports will be fully 40 millian dollars, or more than in any yeai in a full decadt. The iron and steel manufacturers of the United States have prided them selves upon their ability to fully sup ply the home market and produce a considerable surplus for exportation. That they were making great giins in this direction until the exceptional de mand of recent years, is evidence! from the fact that imports of iron and steel niaiiufaetu.es which amounted to t;7 million dollars in an 1 53 mil lions in LSSl, had steadily falk-n since the latter date until thej wen only 12 million dollars in ISO'J. In 1900, how ever, there was a slight increase but the figures of 1902. as already indicat ed, will exceed those of any year since 1891. This increase is the n.ore re markable in view of the fact that the nig iron production and the iron and steel production generally in the Unit ed States was far greater in the year 1902 than in any preceding year, the total production of nig iron being esti mated at fully 17.500.000 tons against la.S78.000 in 1901, wrich was the high est figure ever recorded prior to 1902. The increase in imports occurs in practically all classes of iron and steel manufactures. Pig iron increased from a million-and-a-half to nearly 9 mil lion dollars in value: ingots, blooms and bars from a little over a million to over seven million dollars and machin ery from $2,718,000 to $3,831,000. In a single item, tin plates, there is a re duction: the valuo of tin plate import ed in the 11 months being $3.0.03.426 against $4.594. 786, and the quantity 120 million pounds in 1902 against 150 roib olnis in the same months of 190!.

NEW YORK CITY. FIRES BUILT IN ORANGE GROVES Trees Housed and Tented To Prevent Freezing Curious Scenes Noted Around Orange Groves Tampa, Fla.. Dec. 30. Reports from the northern part of the Florida orange section indicate that tire coid spell of Friday and Saturday night did little damage to the young t ees or the fruit yet unpicked, thanks to the Weather Bureau for the pi'ompt dispatch of cold wave warning and to the alertness of the growers in acting upon them. In the early years of the orange in dustry in this State it had a "happy-go-lucky" existence. There had been no severe cold for many previous years and the growers were not alarmed at the low temperatures which prevailed at times. When the disastrous freeze of 1895-1896 occurred it swept away millions in value in one night. Later new groves were planted, out extra pains were taken to guard '.hem from the cold. The wealthiest grove s built portable fences and in cold weather the trees were practically housed, with small sheet-iron stoves inside to keep up the temperature. Others used tents that were made ex pressly for the purpose, adding the stoves, too. for safety. The mass of the growers had faith in big fires kept go ing all night during the cold-wave periods. The V-eather Bureau sent out sig nals Friday by wire to all the princi pal towns. Trains throughout the or ange sections carried cold-wave flags by day and at night gave the signal.3 by whistle. The growers heeded the warning. Ail night Friday and on Saturday fires were kept at fierce heat, producing huge clouds of dense smoke that over hung the groves and protected them from the ecld. The sight was a queer one, fires glimmering through miles of territory. In this manner the groves were saved, also the fruit yet ungath-ered. t i 8 Do You Feel Chilly?
