THE PRODUCE MARKET
Conditions Father Ordinary just Now
Some ofth Prices.

= .
Conditions on the produce. market at
this time are of a very ordinary sort.
Some stuff Is selling we'll, but in certain
lines marked period OF depression Is
prevailing. Retailers are doing but lit
tie buying, and ! II the shipping trade
We're not Of very good, sort the mar
ket would be inclined to feel blue. 1t
10 said, however. that the prospects for
the winter trade continues excellent.
The game season will be In full tledEe
very soon. Deer is already on the mar
ket, though In very small quantities, and
u.s. selling unusually we'll at 10 cents per
pound. Partridges will be on hand next
week.
Tho remarkable scarcity or eggs Is a
feature of the trade conditions. Hens
must have been killed out or something;
of the sort. Eggs from nearby sections
are selling at q to 22 cents; others at Il
cents.
The demand for butter has suddenly
dropped down to nothing. Some short
while ago butter was scarce. and there
was somewhat Of clamor for It. Now
sth9 condition Is reversed. The receipts
are IN and tho demand Is down, and
the prices have fallen off three to four
cents on the pound. -
Chickens are lower on account Of tho
cool weather. Large fowls, weighing two
pounds and over, sell from IL to IL cents;
smaller at II cents
New York and Michigan Irish potatoes
are selling here at Is cents per barrel.
Choice apples bring 81 to q. fair. Sl.S

SANTA FEE.

From the New Mexican.
A. M. Dettlebach has resumed the
work of numbering the houses of Santa
Fe and the work will now be pushed
to completion.
The water works pressure yesterday
dropped to thirty pounds, or hardly
sufficient to insure fire protection. The
water was shut off from the peniten-
tiary and ice ponds until normal pres
sure was restored.
Postoffice Inspector Charles l..
Doran has officially recommended an
entire new equipment for the Santa Fe
%postofice. He says that the present
equipment of the Santa Fe postofice
is the poorest of any presidential office
in New Mexico.
The funeral services of the late Mrs.
Josefina Chaves, wife of Col. j. Fran
cisco Chaves, territorial superintend-
ent of public instruction, were held at
the cathedral. A large number of
friends escorted the remains from the
house to the church where low mass
was celebrated by Vicar General An
thony Fourchegu. Interment in Ro-
sario cemetery followed. During the
funeral all the Offices in the capitol
were closed and members of the SUI
preme court and territorial officers at
tended the service. The floral remem-
brances were unusually handsome.
Colonel Chaves has received kilograms
expressing sympathy from all parts of
the territory. The pail bearers were
a. M. Bergere Martin Sanchez. Ireneo
l.. Chaves, Antonio Ortiz y Salazar,
George H. Cross, r. l.. Baca.

SILVER CITY.
From the Independent.

From the Independent.
There are over 600 children of
school age in u town and only about
SO per cent are attending school at the
present time.
Brigadier General James NJ. Bell, re-
tired, of Washington, is visiting his
nephew, w. b. Walton, in this city,
having arrived on yesterdays train.
DR.. Bloomberg, who has for some
time been stationed at the United
States sanitarium at Fort Bayard, will
in a few days leave for the Philip
pines, to which place he has been
transferred.
A. F. Witzel left on Friday evenings
train for Denver. Mr.. witzel has been
in town quite a few days and the peo-
pie were commencing to consider him
a resident again. He will, however,
return to Silver City off and on, as he
has many business interests here.
The report comes from the mount
aims to the effect that there is more
snow there than has been known for
fifteen years. This is good news to the
mining and cattlemen in general in
this section, as it insures an abundant
supply of water in the creeks and
rivers until late in the summer
months.
The precinct election passed of qui-
city as usual, the polls being at New
comb hall. The greatest question I'M
der discussion was on the justice of
the peace vote, the two candidates be-
ing Judge w. II. Newcomb and JOHN
M. CHM. The office was again given
to Judge w. H. Newcomb by a ma
jority of 1879.
With the close of this week ends in
our Normal school the first term of
the year 1902-1903. No more success
full term has ever been known in the
schools history. Each week that has
passed has witnessed some new ad-
vancement, some looked-for success.
Pupils and teachers alike have striven
to obtain the results which were before
them.
Hon. r. NJ. Turner, of this city, who
has been chosen by the people of the
Thirteenth district as their represen-
tative in the thirteenth legislative as
sembly. will leave Friday evening for
Santa Fe, in order to be present at the
opening of the session Monday. Mr..
Turner has a number of measures in
readiness for introduction, and may be
expected to give a good o of his
stewardship.
