It seems to be law, and is certainly custom, that persons coming to the _plaza_ are expected to be more fully dressed than when travelling on the road or when in their homes.

Usually white cotton drawers and shirt are worn in the _plaza_; outside, practically nothing but the breech-clout.
There is an interesting commerce carried on in Juave towns by Zapotec traders from Juchitan.

As might be expected, this is entirely in the hands of women.

Some women make two journeys weekly between the two towns.

They come in ox-carts, with loads of corn, fodder, coffee, chocolate, cotton and the like.
