Jobbers in flour and feed report a marked i'm
provement in trade this week, but fruits and
vegetables are moving very slowly. Hay is not

owners of teams to lay in stocks for the spring.
Then, again, teams are working but little now,
| and there is general disposition to economic
in point of feed. Ranchers report large quaint
ties of hay still unsold in the skagit valley
snd around La Conner, and they are beginning
toget uneasy lest it should not all be disposed
6f before the next crop is ready for use.
