Micoatli, or in the language OF modern
neighbors, E1 Canine de los Muertos This
wonderful avenue is lined on both sides
with tumuli, most of them having origin
ally been about twenty-five feet in hight.
Their long dead builders dedicated them 10
the stars and used them as places OF
burial; and all along this I" Path of the
Dead may be found an unusual number OF
arrow-heads and broken blades of obsidian
or It'll, volcanic glass indigenous to the
locality, from which material were made
the knives used by the priests In their
bloody sacrifices. Antiquarians have puz-
zled themselves over these mounds more
than over the larger pyramids, but it
would seem that the appellation, Micoatli.
explains their object. The Mexican archa-
ologist, Senior Cubas, says that from some
OF them human bodies have been taken :
and 1t may be that some of the clay heads
which we find scattered in such numbers
over the plain are effigies of priests and
monarchs. In this study of the place. the
same author likens the insignificant Rio
triyerl Teotihuacan, which flows near, to
the Nile, and the Gamma de los Muertos
he calls second Memphis; and, in short,
finds here a perfect duplication of the
pyramids of Egypt. This savant also de-
duces an

not come directly from Egypt, were at least

THE MARKETS.


New York, May 11.-There was even
less influential news to-day than yesterday.
The tone at the close last night was heavy,
and so continued through most of this
morning, caused, 1t is supposed, by free
selling for foreign account. This move
ment was soon exhausted, and the market
became exceedingly dull, receiving, as O
consequence, q frmer tone. There was
considerable activity and strength in Lacka-
wanna In the last hour, presumably on buy
ing by prominent operator.
The market was dull at the opening, but
after the first few minutes there was con-
siderable trading until the announcement
of the result Of the election of officers of
the stock exchange, when prices had de
clined fractional amounts. From this time
until about noon the market became duller
and was heavy. The market after IL
o'clock became firm and so remained
throughout the afternoon. Lackawanna
was the most active stock to-day, the total
sales aggregatiug $4,000 shares. Lake
Shore came next with 10000, followed by
st. Paul with 1890, and Western Union
14,400. These stocks are the only ones the
transactions in which reached 10000 shares,
and together they furnished three.hfths of
the days business. The market was
featureiess throughout except the rally in
Lackawanna at the close.
