They quote prices Of grain in each of these markets, besides immediate and steady quotations from all the prominent markets of this country. All the re- ports are posted on bulletin boards as fast as received. and are furnished to the telegraph and ticker companies, which send them out in all directions. Thus the receipts and shipments of grain and flour at eastern and western primary markets, and the export clear ances from the seaboard are made matters of public knowledge daily On Monday of each week the worlds ship ment of wheat and corn, and the amounts of each on ocean passage, re- ceived by cable. are duly posted. The movement of livestock at various points is given daily as well as weekly. On Monday of each week, also, the wis ible supply of grain at all market cen ters ot prominence is compiled and posted.
 All this information is scattered so broadcast by either public or private enterprise that no matter where a man is he can always get it shortly after its receipt by the boards of trade Nearly all farmers now have telephones in their homes and any hour in the day at little or no expense by the present system can learn the current of the markets and prices at any given point of prominence within a very few min utes. So gradually has the system grown up that it's importance is not generally realized except by the study of such report as the forthcoming one oi the Chicago exchange. IL there were no boards of trade this informa- tion probably would not be available producers especially would be but poorly informed. if informed at all: they would be at the mercy of those who were informed The big buyers must of necessity get Information of the worlds markets. irrespective Of cost. and they would naturally utilize their own private information for their own benefit

There is no such thing as tainted
money. Money is to buy the food,
the clothes, the comforts and the
conveniences of human life. 1t is
a medium of commerce amongst
honest and thrifty people. There
are tainted men-stacks of them,
but no tainted dollars. The mo-
ment a dollar passes into the
hands Of an honest man, it takes
on the character of the man who
has it, and not the one who had it.
The only sort of tainted money we
know of is the money that faint
ours. So a little bit of licenses
for school purposes is better than
no money at all for a while yet in
New Mexico.

THE TT. WORTH OF THE TERRITORY

Mr.. j. l.. O'Shea, president OF
O'Sh ca Promotion Com
pany and who is heavily inter
ested in Ell Paso real estate and
a Joint owner of a brick yard at
that point, was in this city this
week and in an interview with the
News made the following remarks
in reference to the future outlook
for this CITY:
From an agricultural stand
point | regard it as one of the most
promising locations in the United
States, as it has without doubt the
best climate, and is not subject to
billiards. as in the other more
northern states, and anything can
be raised here, excepting bannas
and other tropical fruits. | be-
lieve that any Industrious farmer
can make an independent living on
less acreage than any other state
in the union.
las to cattle raising, that fact
has already been established, as
the native grass, has for many
years past produced some Of the
finest cattle ever shipped to any
market, and with the settling up
of this territory every farmer will
at once realize this fact and will
profit largely thereby, and the ulti-
mate outcome will be that the ter
ritory will be amongst the fore
most in cattle and dairy products.
Il also believe that a profitable
living can be made by anyone in
the raising of poultry, as feed can
be raised at such a low cost, and
as the climatic conditions are such
that a failure is almost impossible.
The future of Tucumcari as a
railroad center is assured as hel
geographical situation is such tina
will appeal to all railroads in New
Mexico, and near states on account
of her coal and agricultural resour
ces. The Dawson coal mines
being the second largest in tn,
world there is no doubt that al
roads will endeavor to get il
touch with them for fuel supply
and Tucumcari will no doubt b.
the ideal distributing point. 1t i
only a question Of a short Will
before the Santa Fe will be reach

completion of the Choctaw a direc
transcontinental line will be opene,
up with the east, giving better rate
and new markets for home prod

and west which will in all proba
