MAB DEL PLATA, Dec. s.— lt ls
now mid-winter in tht- I'nited States.
It Is mid-summer in the Argentine re
public. Our people are going to Flori
da to keep warm. The fashionable
Argentines are rushing to the seaside
to keep cool. The most popular seaside
resort ot the Argentine is Mar del Pla
t.i L is the Long Branch, the New
port, Uie Saratoga of the Argentine
republic. Situated 240 miles BOUth of
Buenos Ayres. on the coast of the At
lantic, it has a splendid bathing beach
on which jus; i;,>u thousands of Argen
tines are taking the warm plunge ot
summer. There are at least 20,000
strangers at this resort. There are big
bot< is filled with the fashionable fami
lies of the Argentines and foreigners.
Th- re are numerous seaside cottages,
and there are gambling rooms where
the roulette wheel goes the whole aft
ernoon a-'d all night lung. Thousands
of dollars are won and lost at every
turn, for the people gamble at .Mar del"
Plata quite as desp.-ialely as they do
m Monte Carlo.
The scenes on the beach are different
from those of our resorts. The bath
hi us. s do not stand hack from the
edge of the water as at Atlantic City
(i- Asbury Park. The undressing is
dent- in bathing boxes about six feet
square and not over six feet high.
?These are on the edge of the surf. You
can hire one for 50 cents a time and |
a suit of bathing clothes goes with I
every box. You enter you box, change j
your clothes and step right out into
the water. Both sexes bathe together,
and you see a mixture of dull blue i
bathing suits, some with skirts on and |
some without, moving about through |
the water. Outside of the skirts lt ls j
hard to distinguish the sexes, for bright
colors are not worn by the women in I
bathing, ar.d the Argentine summer j
girl makes all her conquests outside I
the water. Cameras are not tolerated j
on the beach, and the man who at- i
tempts to take a snap shot will surely !
be arrested.
PRESF.XTS WITH STRINGS.
Many of the rich Argentines have sea
side homes at Mar del Plata. Not a
few keep up three different establish
ments. One ls a house In Bu*nos |
Ayres, another a home in the country, j
and a third a cottage at the seaside. ;
Fuch people live well. They are very j
hospitable, and during your stay they
will place everything at your disposi- j
tion. In fact, if you admire anything
belonging to an Argentine politeness
demands that it be at once offered to
you. This is so in all Spanish-Ameri
can countries. At Santiago I dined one
day with Mr. Edwardo McOlure, a mil
lie nalre fr ond of the president of Chile,
and a gentleman of high education and
standing. The dinner was given at his
magnificent home in the suburbs of
Santiago, which 13 surrounded by a
garden considered one cf the finest of
South America. The house was a pal
ace, and as I walked through it with its
owner I could not help admiring it. Ke
at once offered it to me. and that in
such a cordial manner that I feared for
a moment he might be in earnest.
When 1 reflected; however, that the
property would bring at auction at
least (100,000, i felt there might be a
mistake and refused it with thanks.
This habit sometimes causes the giv
er trouble when he comes into contact
with a foreigner who does not under
stand him. Not long ago a Spanish
don was traveling down the west coast
of South America upon a steamer with
a charming American girl as a fellow
passenger. The don was married but
the young lady was beautiful, ' and
When she admired a poodle which he
vas carrying with him, he at once
placed it at her disposal and grandilo
quently told he-,* it was hers He ex
pected that she wonld thank him and
refuse. But to his surprise she thank
ed him and accepted. Now the don was
carrying this poodle to his wife, who
was as jealous us Spanish girls usually
ate. He had especial orders to bring it
home safe and sound, and as the \mer
ican girl was going to the same town
he knew that serious complications
would arise if he did not recover that
dog. Before he left the ship he was
cr mpelled to ask one of his friends to
explain to the young lady that his offer
was not Intended to be taken in earnest
arid that he hoped she would send back
the poodle ac it belonged to h* wife
There are many similar cases of the
failure of such polite lies and choan
generosity. One of which I heard re
lated to a young navy lieutenant who
has since risen to be one of the chief
officers of a great American man-of
war. It was during his salad days
that he was in South America on a
coasting tour ar.d became acquainted
with an Argentine don. One day he
asked the latter for a match, and was
handed in reply a beamiful god Cigar
lighter. Th? lighter must have he°n
an expensive one. for it was set with
diamonds. Our young lieutenant ad
niind it. and the don, putting his hand
across his heart, told him it was his
and at his disposition. The young lieu
tenant, then green to Spanish ways, n**
grandiloquently accepted it. and the
Argentine don was too amazed to pro
test. At least he never asked that it
be returned, and I doubt not but thnt
the American naval officer has it
among his trophies today.
ODD FUN'KRAL CUSTOMS.
Among the queer customs o_ the Ar-
gentine are those relating to the dead.
Funerals are grand functions, and the
average funeral costs more than a
wedding. The undertakers advertise
their wares as our merchants do their
dry goods. Each undertaker gives the
price of the different kinds of funerals,
and tell you just what you can get for
your money. They laud their peculiar
burial caskets, and the virtues of their
patent embalming; juices, and state that
they can take charge of the departure
of the deceased with all fashionable ac
companiments. Funerals are flrst, sec
ond and third-class. The first-class
kind is worth seeing. I shall never fo_*
get one which I witnessed in the busi
ness section of Buenos Ayres. It was
that of a steamship manager, who was
evidently a man of welath. The hearse
was as big as a baggage wagon, and
the four black Orloff stallions which
drew lt were as flne ns any to be seen
In St. Petersburg. The hearse was a
black canopy resting on wheels with a
covered top, at the corners of which
were tassels of ostrich feathers, ea^'h
tassel as big around as a half bushel
measure. The roof was upheld by four
black Ethiopians made of carved
ebony, ard the magnificent coffin,
which rested on a platform beneath,
was covered with flowers. Upon the
front sat a coachman all ln black, and
on the back was a footman in the same
somber livery. Every one of the
coaches following the hearse was
drawn by black horses and driven by
coachmen in mourning. The mourners
were dressed in black, all wearing tall
hats and black gloves. It was indeed
a very in r.ide of erlef.
FU NERAL ADVE RT I S EM ENTS.
An important part of the advertis
ing in the Argertine ...wspapets relates
lo funerals. The family always inserts
a statement of a death and an invita
tion to its friends to be present at the
funeral. They announce the masses,
are given from year to year on
the anniversaries of the funeral there
after, ard all friends of the deceased
ar.d his family are supposed to attend
such masses or to leave their cards at
the door. Heie is a sample funeral
notice:
"Xickolas lm era Gara, Q. E. P. D.
IN RECOLETA CEMETERY, ARGENTINE.
I Died June 22, 1892.
"The family invites the persons of
! their friendship to attend the masses,
j which, for the eternal rest of his soul,
will be celebrated in the Church of
! San Miguel Wednesday, the 22d of
j June, 1S!»8, from 8 to 10 a. m. The fam
i lly will assist at the mass at 10
i o'clock."
In response to this notice all the
i friends and relatives of that family
| were expected to attend this mass.
i There were servants at the church to
! receive their cards as they went in, and
j those who could not go In person sent
| cards. As soon as the family got back
from the mass they probably looked
over the cards, and the person who
had slighted the corpse, now dead six
years, undoubtedly received the resent
ment of the family. Every Argentine
watches the newspapers that he may
keep track of the masses said for his
i dead friends and the do>ceas?d friends
I of his friends that still live. The Ar
| gtntines respect funerals. Every one
j takes his hat off and stands reverently
i still as the hearse passes, and it is I
i etiquette to bare your head when pass
| ing a house that has crepe on the
i door.
CITIKS OF THE DEAD!
There are flne cemeteries in all of
the Argentine cities. Buenos Ayres has
| 230 acres of them, no a large "area as
; compared with some of our cemeteries.
■ hut big enough when it is considered
j how South American cemeteries are
i built. The South American cities of the
| dead are genuine cities, in which the j
j deceased ure as closely packed ar.d J
crowded as the living in a New York
flat. The eemeieries have their paved
streets, their narrow courts and even
their tenement houses or vaults, where
| the poorer dead are laid away to rest
, for so much per year for a season. I
saw such cemeteries in Peru. Chile and
i Bolivia, ard 1 have found them also
in the Argentine. I have as yet. how
, ever, seen no cemetery so crowded as
; the Recoleta, the fashionable grave
, yard of Buenos Ayres. It covers thir
teen acres and it contains, I am tcld
, 200,000 inhabitants. There are enough
corpses in it to cover the ground two
i deep without crowding, and there is
. a hi<»h stone wall about it strong
enough r hone to keep their ghosts in
i inside this wall there is a central street
! or avenue, paved with marble cutting
, the city in halves. As you Walk up
this you find at the center a place
: where eight other streets branch off
:at angles. All of these streets are pay
; ed with marble or mosaics, and they
, are cut by smaller streets dividing the
'bS cry into a * reat aumb « r ot
i In looking over this beautiful city of
; the dead you notice that the houses

j small and big, costly and mean; the
; palaces of the rich and the tenements
;of the poor. Each house is a vauP
j and each contains from one to hundred
jof inmates. Some of the houses arc
;in blocks, marble structures from
: elt?ht to fifteen feet high and eight to
ten feet wide, each the property of on=
favriily. Some stand alone with only
a crack between their walls and those
; of the vaults next door. All have but
| one room that can he seen, and this
| room is in all cases the same shape
] although furnished in different degree*
| of magnificence and taste. It might be
; called the chapel of the dead.
Tt is four foet square or more and
l five feet high, being entered by a door
at ihe level of the street In the back
of it there is a marble slab or table set
into the wall, and upon this sometimes
rests a coffln. The siab is covered with
a lambrequin of fine lace, and in it?
, center stands a crucifix with the dying
Christ upon it, or perhaps a waxen
image of Mary, the Mother of God.
Upon some such altars are silvo
candle sticks and above many of them
lamps burn incense from one year's
end to the other. On the marble floor
there are flowers, sometimes real. In
the shape of growing plants, sometimes
bouquets placed there fresh for the

day, and at others artificial flowers and
immortelles made to last for years. The
doors of the houses are often plate
glass. All have locks and not a few
padlocks. Many have lace curtains,
and the most are covered with gratings
of iron curiosity wrought.
But where are the inhabitants of
these houses? God knows. I can only
show you where their decayed bodies
are. Come with me to the cemetery.
Through the grating in the floor of
that vault which has been opened to
admit a corpse you can see steps which
lead below. Here the proprietor and
his family sleep ln the basement. Their
beds are those coffins resting on the
shelves, which have been fastened one
above another in that brick wall, keep
ing them in death, as in life, together,
while their friends still living make
their offerings and their prayers above.
I don't know but that this is better
than our way. These people lie here
and dry up within their vaults. We are
planted in the earth to give the worms
a feast.
WHAT BUENOS AYRES EATS.
"Speaking about feasting reminds me
that Argentines eat more meat to the
person than any other people in the
world. Outside the cities the people
live on mutton and beef, and there are
tens of thousands of square miles upon
which the people would be glad to trade
a pound of meat for a pound of bread
any day. In Buenos Ayres the annual
consumption Is 274 pounds of meat per
inhabitant, or at five to the family,
1.370 pounds per year for each family
in the city. This is the highest average
In the world. Dublin has sixty pounds
per person. Berlin ninety-nine pounds,
Paris 167 pounds, and London 128
pounds. I don't know what the amount
is for New York, but lt must be far be
low the consumption of the Argentine.
1 have before the report of the Buenos
Ayres markets for the last month. A
few quotations will show you upon
what the Argentines feed. They ate
within those thirty days more than
57,000 he?ves, 75.000 sheep, and over 12,
--OCO pigs. They consumed 90,000 hens,
77.000 roosters, and 12,000 turkeys, geese
and ducks. They ate more than 60,000
braces of partridges, 1,000,000 pounds of
fit-h, and 25,000,000 pounds of vegetables.
Among the other items are some dishes
which would create a sensation if serv
ed at our dinners. How would you
like to eat a dozen fresh, juicy snails at
a meal? The people of Buenos Ayres
consumed eleven tons of them last
month. They ate 112 tons of tripe, and
about 1,000 young armadillos. Arma
dillos are among the delicacies of the
Argentine. They are about as large
as a number 8 Derby hat, and they
look not unlike turtles, save that their
backs are more rounded. The arma
dillo has feet with claws, but its head
is much like that of a pig. Its meat
tastes like young chicken, and it ls so
much in demand that armadillos al
ways bring a good price in the mar
kets.
MARKETS OP BUE.XOS AYRES.
Buenos Ayres has excellent markets.
There are twenty in the city, but it la
in the Mereado Central that the most
business is done. This market has an
area about equal to one of our city
blocks. The food offeied for sale is
as good as that sold ai home. Ther,
are all sr.rts of meats, fish and vegeta
bles. There are huge Dears from tha
Argentine and oranges and pineapples
from Paraguay. There are grapes as
sweet as any grown in California,
which have been brought to the city
from the foothills of the Andes, and
there are peaches by tne bushel from
about Buenos Ayres. Peach trees are
often grown for fuel, and there are bo
many peaches in some sections that
they are used for fattening pigs. Al
most any kind of fruit that grows in
the United States la grown in the Ar
gentine republic. As to vegetables, I
saw- celery stems as big around as a
pint tin cup and a yard in length. 1
saw enough onions to scent the breath
of the continent, and yams and sweet
potatoes of gigantic size. Nearly ev
erything in the fruit and vegetable
lines is cheap, delicious organges cost
ing about three cents apiece. Vegeta
bles are usually sold ln piles, so that
you have to measure quantity as well
as quality by the eye, and the butchers
sold their meat by the chunk or cut
rather than weight.
Chickens were sold by the piece.
They had all been dressed, the only
feathers being left upon them being
those of the tail. These tail feathers
stuck out. showing what the color of
each chicken was before It was pluck
ed. Why the tail feathers are not re
moved I do not know. The same cus
tom prevails in China as to dogs, where
a bit of the dog's hair Is always left
on the end of the tail, even when the
animal is cooked. But this is because
the Chinese consider the flesh of black
dogs the best and most certain to put
a brave spirit into the body of tha
eater.
HUCKSTERS OF THE ARGENTINE.
Chickens are sold alive in Buenos
Ayres by hucksters, who carry them
from house to house in wicker crates
swung over the back of a horse. There
are no huckster wagons, and all ped
dling is done by men on horseback or
on foot. Turkeys are driven through
the streets by peddlers. You pick out
the turkey you want from the flock
and the owner will catch it for you.
Fish and vegetables are sold by men
who go through the city with baskets
hung to the ends of poles on their
shoulders, and the milk peddler on
horseback Is still to be found in the
suburbs of Buenos Ayres. He has been
driven from the main part of the city
and his place taken by the dairy com
panies, who now furnish good butter
and good milk in almost every block.
Until within a very few years good but
ter was not to be had in Buenos Ayres.
The country had millions of cows, but
not a score of good butter makers.
Farmers who owned 10,000 cows Im
ported their butter in tins from the
United States or Europe, and quanti
ties came to Buenos Ayres from New-
York ln firkins. A few years ago an
enterprising Argentine established a
large dairy outside the city. He
in ought in butter makers from Swlt
zerland, and now the city haa as de-
Ilcious butter as can be found any
where. The butter is made without
salt. I am told that sweet cream ls
used, but it is so good that you can
eat butter like cheese. It ls sent to
Brazil and other countries, and even
shipped to laondon.
The old style of milk selling was by a
peddler, who carried his milk from
house to house in cans swung on tha
Bides of a horse. Each can was stopped
with a piece of wood, about which an
old cloth was wrapped to keep it tight.
This made the milk so foul and unsani
tary that the government objected to
it. Milkmen still drive their cows from
house to house in all towns outside of
Buenos Ayres. They milk the cows for
you while you wait, and thero is no
possibility of your getting chalk and
water in place of the pure extract of
the bovine. Each cow has its calf with
It, but the calf's mouth is protected by
a leather muzzle, so that, Tantalus-like,
it is ever without a chance to Batisfy
Its hunger or thirst.

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.— Liquidation by outsid

Wheat gave signs of revivaf at the start.
May opened %@%c higher. The week's sjip
ments to foreign countries were enormous,
amounting in wheat and fl.,ur to 6,860,001 bu,
compared with 3, M1, 000 bu the correspond. ng

bullish comparisons between ihe present mar

It was m former years, and the much tm.U.er

wheat hid been sold ln the last two dtys,
and the market in consequence was very
suscepc.ble to bullish influences. Shorts were
lncl.ned to cover, and May was b.d up an
other fraction, reaching 70%e. Ab.ut ihis
time outside orders bfgan tumbling into tbe
pit, and, as there was no hidividual-ty ab->ut
the buy.ng, May sagged quickly to 69% c.
Receipts were 113 cars, of which 6 grade!

618 carloads, compared with 508 the weak

heavy scale, amounting to only 423,001 bu.
Continental markets were lower and L'vsi

market, and under its sustaining influence
May gradually worked up to 70%®7u%c.
About half on hew from the close outside

May was allowed to slip off to 69% c once
more. In the last few minutes trading there
waa a few slight fluctuations, but May finally
clceed at 69%@70e, buyers.
Light country offerings and a gocd ship

was near call price, and sellers by ho'des of

A good cash denwaid and light receipt*

early on some commission house selling, the

As a consequence of yesterday's heavy liqui

Lye Stock Markets.
SOUTH ST. PAUL, Jan. 7.— The receipts at
the Union stockyards today were: Cattle, 100;
calves, 50; hogs, 1,300; sheep, none. The
cattle market was a little dull owing to light
receipts. Good butch«r cattle and the better
grade of stockers and feeders found a ready
sale at strong prices. >• Common stuff dragged
and the week closed with quite a little left
ln the yards. The hoe market was a strong
5o tower, and tradin^f/was slow en this ac
count, Beliers holding and refusing to
accept the situation until late. The bulk of
the butchers eold--at -43.35 and $3.37% with a
range of $3.32% ,to There were no
sheep In and hut one or two sales from th«

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.— Stocks resumed the
upward movement tcday and ln some cases
advanced violently. Efforts to bring about
a reaction were successful only in the Initial
trading. There were moderate arbitrage sales
fer London account, which atded the reaction
ists early efforts. The grangers and Pio.'fles
were off fractionally, while the so-called
Flower specialties, Brooklyn Transit, Federal
Steel and People's Gas W6re very sharply off.
The execution of an order to sell a large
block of stock at the market caused a bad
break ln Tobacco. This brought out further
sales by stop loss orders. Floor brokers in
many cases advised their houses that the
movement in the general market was too vio
lent to last, and presently buying orders p-e
--dominated over those to sell. These pur
chases were largely increased on the appear
ance of the bank statement, which was far
more favorable than expected. Brooklyn
Transit rose five points from the lowest.
People's Gas, l%c. Tobacco, 2%; Sugar, Amer
ican Steel & Wire and Federal Steel 2 each,
t?.e grangers about a point and Atchison pre
ferred, 2%. Notable advances were made in
American District Telegraph, which rose 8
points; Colorado Fuel & Iron preferred, 10;
St. Paul and Duluth, 5%; Delewure & Hudson.
2%; and Rubber preferred, 2%. The close
was active and strong at the best.
The bond market during the week dis
played considerable irregularity, but there
was a decided undertone of strength, which
prevented any concessions of note ln the
prominent lines. United States old fours, and
the 6s coupon, advanced %; the new fours
and 5s registered %. The 3s declined % in
the bid price.
