HAY AND FEEDsTUFrs.


 The flood of outside Hay to this market. which predicted for the month of Sep- tember, has not yet arrived, and may never Dealers say that Oregon has about 30, 900 tons of surplus Hay which she can ship here if prices warrant, and this will probably be done if the maket advances two or three dollars a ton later on; but present quotations do not justify the shipment of this Hay to this mar ket It is the general impression among deal CTS that the market has about reached bed rock but this is a mere guess and may oe re- alized or not. Utah has good deal of AL falfa, and Washington has more less Hay which can be sent in here in the event of a sharp advance; but prices are now it is likely to stay at home.

Duluth the only one Of the Western primary markets that received anything like what might be considered heavy receipts. The daily repetition of very small receipts, however, outside of Duluth, had at length lacerated the feelings of the bears to a point they could no longer stand. Minneapolis cash wheat advanced 21ac a bushel and cash wheat at Duluth 2Zc during the first hour. Liverpool kept adding to the early advance in September and finally closed with gain for the day, of 2asd per cental. of the equivalent of Slsc bushel September closed with gain of 13tc and December rose A@5sc
