CHERAN : A SIERRA TARASCAN VILLAGE — REALS 



81 



On the occasion of a fiesta, the market occu- 

 pies the entire plaza and overflows onto side 

 streets. The variety and quantity of goods on 

 such occasions exceed that at the regular 

 Paracho mai'ket. Table 3 shows this clearly 

 in the market held for October 6, 1940, the 

 fiesta of the patron saint. Only two weekly 

 markets were checked in any detail, as the 

 fluctuations in the market simply reflect those 

 occurring ^t Paracho the following day. Table 

 3 gives a list of the articles on sale in Cheran 

 on three different dates, and for September 7 

 the number of vendors of each article is given.
