LATER FROM SANTA FE.
PHILADELPHIA, May "a, 1917

Lieut.. Peck arrived at ST. Louis on the l7th
inst, from Santa Fe, which place he left April
8. Col. Price was still there, and all was quiet,
though apparently slumbering over volcano.
The general opinion is that the Mexicans requir-
ed only competent leaders to rebel against our
civil Government Judge Beaubien was still
engaged in trying former insurgents.
Lieuts. Beal, Talbot and others left San Diego
Feb. rs, bringing important intelligence. Al
Taos the Court has condemned large number
Of the insurgents-eIeven had been hung and ma.
ny whipped. Six were hung the day Lieut.. Tai.
bot passed through Taos. These executions
created great excitement among the Mexicans,
and efforts were making to stimulate insurrection
and raise volunteers for rebellion. The AL.
calde and many influential men were opposed to
the movement.
The indians were very troublesome. They
attacked Lieut.. Peck's party three times, and
wounded one of his escort. They stole all the
horses and mules. They were Pawnees and Ca
manches. Several of our troops were badly
wounded in subduing them.

THE MARKETS.

Philadelphia, May 29.-Four So; corn Sl,l3'
New York. May 29.-Flour $8(0S8, 1873.
Boston, day 29.--Flour $8,62!@S9.
Baltimore, May 29.-Flour SO, 6240S8,874.
New Orleans, May 2l.--Flour $3.50.
Pittsburgh, May 3l.-FIour $5, 5,5oOs687l.
The --latest intelligence from Bolivar report
wheat at 81 90 per bushel.
twill be perceived from the foregoing quota,
tions that flour has decreased about one dollar
per barrel in New York and Philadelphia, while
in Baltimore and Boston il remains nearly station
ary. The price of flour is regulated by the for.
eign demand, and as this downward tendency has
taken place without receiving any intelligence
from abroad, it is fair to presume that it has been
produced by temporary causes. The latest oc-
counts from Europe were of such a character
,ha, breadstulfs were materially enhanced in val
ue. Therefore, until the receipt of more relia-
bic information, we think it would be advisable
for farmers to disregard the WhiningS Of certain
croakers, who seem very conidant that the price
of wheat must come down, but are, nevertheless
verv anxious to buy at the present price!
