A Summary OF THE
WEEKS MARKETS
}By b. j. CUNNINGHAM & Co
Opera House Bldg, Greenville, Miss.

1 \ ID. d.
(Opera House Bldg, Greenville Miss. !
Cotton.--The week has been charac-
terized by numerous advances and de-
clines in values. The week ends with
but very little change in prices from
last Saturdays closing quotations.
New Orleans market however is TO
points lower. Many estimates as to
the coming Bureaus figures have heen
made, and as many times changed. In
the main the trade has been conserva-
tive and speculation has been restrict
ed to considerable extent, due to the
fact that as figures count rather than
opinions, light trading is easily ac-
counted far. Some estimates have
been made as high as 10000, 900, and
some as low as 10.200,000, while the
average is about 10. 100000. The rec
ord shows that for an average of ten
years 50per ct. OF the crop was market
ed by the end of November. However.
all crop estimates will be settled on
the issuance of the Bureau Dec. 3rd.
GRAIN.-The grain market has
rnled strong and firm throughout the
week. The coarse grains are scarce
and trading in the latter has been con-
Quoted on large scale. During the
early part of the week the wheat pit
seemed almost deserted to the exclus-
ion Of the corn and oat market. Small
buyers we're active howerer, and while
prices did not decline to any material
degree there was a feeling of apathy
among the big traders which left but
little interest in wheat. Towards the
latterpart of the week tho clsh de-
mand was much improved prices be-
gan to harden, and IT. was soon notice
able the market WAS prep lring for IN
advance. There was .Oiil's ga0l buying
for foreign account, aud ST. Louis, Pc
oria & Kansas City came in for good
lots. with the end cf the week prices
have imp"''veA considerably.
COkN.- Busine * IN rorn through
out the week has been heavy. Several
prominent Operators set out to bull
the market. These influences forced
prices higher, and good many shorts
were forced to cover at quito loss.
There has been a steady advance,
which at no time has beenmetl with any
check to amount to anything. The fact
is patent that "this particular grain is
exceedingly scarce" There has been
good cash demand, and for the first
time Ia many years New England was
buyer on large scale. Corn will e.
ventually sellat much higher figure.
OATS As much may be said of
oats as well as of corn, and the market
would indicate much higher level.
There has been little il any set back In
the price of oats the past week, and the
demand far exceeds the supply.
Pork, Lard and Ribs have been
strong, and prices continue to rule firm.

THEY USED MANY SIGNS.
Mayan and Aztec Relics Reveal Some Interesting Facts About
 ThoSe People.

One of the most complete studies has been that of the Mayan Quiche peoples, and especially. of the ,Mayans of Yuca- tan In 1864 Landa's work on Yueatan (written 1566) was rediscovered, and the account of the calendar has sufficed to enable Goodman to discover the meaning of very large number of signs GS97); these enable the numer- ical documents to be translated. and show that a period of as much as 5000 years was dealt with by the Mayans, perhaps belonging to mythical ages. The alphabetic signs of Landa have proved useless so far, and Goodman even disbeHeves in any record except that of numbers. Seler has shown the identical origin of the signs used by Aztecs and Mayans for the days and months. Little has been done to make known these remains until the present explorations. casts and publications of Maudsley, who has worked magnif- gently for r years at Copan, Pa1enqtie and Chichen-Itra; these are but~three of innumerable cities of Guatemala and Yucatan that need exploration.

 Cincinnati, Jan sS. = The question whether or not Jeffries and Ruhlin will get in the arena at SaengerfeSt hall will be definitely settled this week from present indications. If the op- position fails to show it's hand within the next few days the promoters of the affair will have the matter thrown into the courts. The plan is to have .Jetfries arrested under section 7,117, which provides against a man train ing for a prize fight in this state. If Jeffries is cleared of the charge by the courts then the fight will be sure to come off, it is claimed. for the decis- ion would effectually- settle the ques- tion as to whether it is to be a spar ring contest or a prize fight This method of having the question settled will only be resorted to, however, in the event of the opposition failing to take some definite action within the next few days

 ages of the Teams and Players.
 Hartford, Jan 2S.-About 300 thirty third degree fans saw the closing game of the National league season at the Coliseum Saturday night, and they witnessed phenomenal work by Wodtke, good playing by Doherty and Cotter and a number of marvellous stops in the goal circle by Harry Star kie. The champions from New Haven were the opposing team and the Hart ford quintet won by Il score of 10 to z, which was highly satisfactory from the crowds standpoint, and that was all that was to be considered.
 At no time was the game in doubt, although the visitors kept the Indians on the jump from the start. Lewis drove for the cage in accurate fashion and he caught passes in way which would have made Russell turn green with envy. At the close of the open ing period the score was ; to l in Hartford's favor. but in the second in ming New Haven added two goals, while Hartford was unable to increase the total.
 The final period was particularly fast and the Hartford men scored three straight goals before the Blne- birds realized what was taking place. After this squirt the goals came thick and fast and the air seemed full of balls. Billy Lush added q champion ship flavor to the contest by calling three fouls. two on New Haven and one on Hartford. but all were for trivial offenses- Hayes appeared as halfback for the visitors. but he seemed to be -outelasscd.

NEW FIGHTER FOUND.

The week has shown new prize fighter. who has exhibited such marked pluck and stamina that! he must be a wonder. Reference is had to the fight between Roberts of Dlilry Lane and Curley, of Newcastle. Curley knocked his man hard enough to stop two. and had him at one moment staggering all over the ring. but Roberts appeared as strong as bulldog, although. hit foul and dropped twice. by his oppo- nent. When it looked all Lombard street to a china orange on Curley, Roberts. out of sheer courage, went at his man, got home a right and left and felled Curley like an.
