worn by the corpse had been rifled, and

activity in extending banking facilities
here attracts notice. The new state
bank of Chiapas, Il remote member OF
the federation on the Guatemalan bor-
der has been opened for business with
100000 capital
The new bank of Orizaba, with a
paid up capital of s15O,o0O, is also a
new American institution, the stock
being held in this city. Orizaba is
now an important industrial center

are flourishing and there is rumor
of the ultimate consolidation of these
institutions, making one great Ameri-
can bank commensurate with the
growing Importance of commercial

northwest is liberal contributor. Re-
ceipts are mostly by express. shippers
are hurrying their eggs to market to
take advantage of the high price. The

lessening of receipts until the freight
arrivals commence to reach the mar
ket.

dition. Receipts have been light all the
week. Thursday freight and express
runs were a little heavier. but all stock
