ton that has ruled since the scarcity OF
cars became so apparent. Choice hay of
Whatever kind will bring s. and the
choice is given rather liberal mean
ing. Good hay also brings $3.50. In fact,
anything that retailers want will bring
all the way from $3.50 up to $3.50, but very
little good enough to bring the top price
can be had. Wire grass sells down to
A50. While coarse wild hay will sell
at S506 according to the degree of coarse
ness. Rye straw is in sharp demand at
around $3.50. Stocks of hay in the hands
of retailers are low, and those people are
anxious bidders on any good hay offered.
But the offerings of Ill kinds of hay taken
together would not equal the demand for
choice stock. Quotations are purely nom
inal.
The scarcity of old corn on spot con-
tinues just as marked as ever but millers
were able to buy considerable to arrive at
lower prices. New corn to arrive was
quoted as to be had at 25kM26c. Old No,
to arrive generally quoted at 2Sc. New
corn on spot sold at 29c shelled weight
If old cars could be had on spot 3O031c
would willingly be paid simply to affor:
temporary relief, but the purchasers of
stock to arrive made today, it is evident
that this feeling of uneasiness will soon
be relieved and such premium for spot
stuff will not prevail.

ordinary run and up to 1910 for choice
cars. For rather light quality or off
color oats grading No. 8. 16c is good
price. If seedy or dirty but good. plump,
sound grain, 151a@16hc, according to con-
dit!on. is paid. No. mixed quoted at
15G163c according to the proportion of
black oats in the mixture. No grade oats
