 Average cotton goods price ...... 1s.o2 In spite of the more or less gen. eral belief which appears to have developed lately among yarn sellers that many Of their customers whom they regarded as virtually out o1 the market for some weeks are now preparing to operate. there has been no repetition of buying on the i'm proved scale witnessed here 10 days
 ago. Nevertheless, this unexpected
 buying is still being discussed, and
 good many sellers have been per suaoed to count on much larger
 turnover for March. as a whole, than appeared earlier this month. One indication of this is that some
 or the dealers in Philadelphia who sold themselves out of their remain ing stock yarns during February, even at the expense of several cents Il pound profit. in numerous instan- ces, now seem to regret not havinG carried these stocks along, or, at least. having delayed replacing them It appears in the case of some of these dealers that their policy of trimming ship" was induced, in part by the cautious attitude of many of their customers, last month and in January.
 It now appears that the same deal CTS are again reflecting the state of mlnd Of their customers, the latter having since changed their views.
 The following chart illustrates the trend of yarn prices in the Phila- delphia market:

Q Q Q Lure Of hicIe.

'sTi only other business which brings man into these tropical for ests of northern Guatemala is one of our mo st important American indus tries. what might be termed, perhaps, our national sport-chewing gum. ..The principal ingredient of chew | ing gum is 'chicle' which is obtained
 from tree called the chico sapote, l growing in these forests. Indeed. the
 archaeologist is deeply indebted t9
 the ehicle business for bringing him | first news of new cities found in the | bush from time te' time by the ehicle hunters.
 "The Writer has a standing reward | offered to all chicleros for 'inforlna- l tion leading to the capture, dead or alive of any new group of runs i where thSre are heiroglyphie monu- ments, and already this expedient has resulted in the discovery of several l important cities.
 Tt is the chicle operators who keep
 the trails open; who locate the water l'holes for Ganpin. places; who main tain mule. trains, the only means of
 transportation possible in the region I whose activities bring labor into the ! bush In short in this field, at least, ! the archaeolo gist could scarcely pur- sue his profession were 1t not for our f popular pastime of chewing gum. But i to return to our subject:
 | t"The peculiar importance ot the 1 Maya hieroglyphic writing lies in the i fact that it represents d stage in the 1 science of expressing thoughts by | graphic symbols not eXemphfled by the writing If any other people an l cient or modern It stands al that
 momentous point in the deNeiopm ent
 of the human race where graphic 1 symbols representing sounds were | just beginning to replace symbols representing ideas.
