breath away Charles Moore, member
OF the committee. advising him that
no models were 10 be inspected that

said that the statue itself would cost

Wehner's model say IL is splendid

This is the second time that Mr.
Wehner has been fooled on statue

The big deal on the street this week
is OF course in the poultry line. Re
ceipts OF live stock are heavy and I'm
largely to chickens, but after today
the call will be for dressed stock. Com
mission men report a good demand for
geese ducks, and also for turkeys W
to a limit of about 20c in price, at
above that figure buyers are inclined
TO turn away, and in consequence the
turkey deal is not as active as might
be expected. Fancy fruits and holiday
goods are at their best. and as a whole
the market is a steady one.

MEXICAN "coMlTEcA" LIQUOR.

"Comiteca'' is the name given to a spirit
uous liquor manufactured in Comitan.
State OF Chiapas. Mexico; It is an exclu-
siyeIy local product, since in no other part
Of the country IS anything similar pro-
duced: the species Of masuey or asave
from which IL is distilled thrives only
within a radius Of ten or twelve miles,
outside of which the sgave plants have, II
is true certain alcoholic properties, but IN
comparison little adapted to the distillation
of this class Of liquor.
It's specific properties are known only IN
a few states of this republic and in Guate-
mala. as yet the only foreign market in
which il has been introduced. due to the
lack of proper conveyance facilities. this
being also the reason the manufacture OF
'''comiteca" mas not grown in proportion 10
the inquiry from other parts OF the cOun-
try.
The liquor Is distilled from "pulque," a
beverage brewed from the sap OF the
maguey peculiar to Comitan. and which,
as has previously been said. deteriorates
if transplanted or sown elsewhere. TO
puluue is added a certain proportion OF
''panocha'' coarse dark sugar.; then, Tor
the sake of the tannn. the inner bark of
a species of oak. styled In the native In
dian dialect ''pajulul' and last. distilled
water II is the maguey plant from which
the LIQUOR IS extracted which gives 70 the
''comiteca'' the especial flavor and aroma
