The Hay Market.

The following is from James NJ. Halt,
commission agent and jobber in hay, straw
and grain, New York, under date of August
16, 1898.
HAY.-With larger receipts and dull
trade prices are generally somewhat lower.
Should new hay begin to move more freely
it would effect the prices of the old. The
market abroad is now overstocked, and hay
instead of selling at fabulous prices is sell
ing from $40 to $25 per ton, and If our hay
had to be sold on this basis it would have to
sell in New York from $40 to $12 per ton.
With larger crops in both this country and
Canada 1t appears to me that 1t will not be
safe for shippers to pay more for hay than
our home market warrants, as the foreign
demand is very uncertain. There is no
doubt but that the hay business has been
greatly injured by the grossly exaggerated
reports circulated of prices in Europe, and l
fear it will be some time before the exact
situation will be thoroughly understood and
prices become equaliZed.
The above vindicates my position.

INFLUENCE OF THE MAGAZINES

1t Is not easy to exaggerate the
influence which the four great mag
azines, Harper's, Century, Scribner' S
and the Cosmopolitan, have exerted
upon the civilization and material
progress OF the United States. They
have carried ennobling thoughts,
and the results of the latest scientific
investigation into the most remote
hamlets. Nor can too much stress
be laid upon the fact that they have
been at all times untrammeled by
any adverse advertising influence
and free to consider the best inter
ests OF the whole people. AS a con-
sequence scarcely a home can be
found that has not been refined,
educated and made brighter and
better by these magazines. As the
reading classes grow-and the public
schools are turning out their tens OF
thousands-the field OF the magazine
is extended. 1t is really a liberal
educator, in art and in all branches
OF knowledge. 1t does not enter the
field of politics, and can afford to
have the good of the entire people at
heart, AS its advertisements have
absolutely no connection whatever
with the editing of the magazine, it
can stand above all considerations
except the highest good OF its read.
ers. That which is truest, that
which is most elevating, that best
calculated to EDUCATE and improve
these are the standards by which the
editor may be guided, with the GER
talnty that he will be supported BY
his readers.-[The January Cosmo
