THE PRODUCE MARKET.


Contrary TO expectations the hay
market remains dull, owing, probably,
to the iact that many people, having
no use for their domestic animals
during the winter season, have turned
them out on neighborlng farms to bc
cared for there. The demand con.
tinues fair, however, for prime timothy
and lucerne, while the intermediate
grades are but little called for.
In regard to the different clsssifca-
lions OF hay the following description
may be Of use to shippers, and should
be strictly adhered to:

Ing wheat at the present writing; not.
outstanding the freight rate being
the lowest ever known across the
water, the Europesn N ,rket Is pr,c-
tically at u standstill. Although much
wheat has been shipped from Utah,
prices are not materially advanced at
present. We are looking forward to
an active market, however In the
spring, when all mills will be manu-.
featuring tlour to their fullest capacity.
Oats-rne demand Tor oats continues
