HAY AND STRAw.-There has been little
change this week. Medium and ordin-
airy grade are a trife weaker. West
ern hay is in liberal receipt. We
quote choice prime hay at $50 to 1913;
medium to good $50 to $21; choice Eastern
fine, $40 to $50; poor Eastern, SIG to 800,
and Eastern swale at $12 to 800 per ton.
Choice rye straw sells at $1,000 to $500,
and oat straw at 81 to S12 per ton.
WooL.-The sales of domestic feeces are
nearly a million pounds better than for the
corresponding week last year There has
been no little inquiry for wool, and manu-
facturers have been visiting the market
in increased numbers to secure selections
from full assortment. A general consen-
sus of opinion seems to favor quiet bust
ness throughout the summer, with possible
slight advance in September. The receipts
of wool continue large and it is not to be ex-
pected that any better prices will be OBJ
tainable, although spectators say that for
any desirable line of wool the prices of a
fortnight since will not purchase. The clip
from nearly every part of the country, with
the possible exception of Colorado, is
reported short. The following are quo
tations for leading grades: Xxx Ohio sells
at 30 to SAC, Ohio Y at 80 to SIC, Michigan Y
at 28c, fine Ohio delaine at 80 to 34c, Kentucky
coarse combing at % to 24c, Texas fine at 16 to
