Hay AND FEEDSTUFFS.

The mood in Hay continues. yesterdays re-
cepts exceeding 1900 tons. The receipts for the
past week averaged more than 1000 tons per
day. The greater portion of the crop this
year was raised in districts unprovded with
warehouses for storage. hence the farmers are
obliged TO send it in 70 escape possible early
rains. At the present rate of shipment most OF
the crop will be in within thirty days, and
after that the arrivals will fall of sharply
Prices have been steadily declining under the
influx. which has been the heaviest ever known

FINANCIAL SITUATION.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The New York Finan-
cier says this week: The question that con-
fronts the New York banks at present is how
to furnish the $50 co0, coo $40 coo. coo usually
required to move the crops a reserve that
is below SIS. 100000. Ordinarily the situation
would be regarded critical, but conditions
are such that money rates have advanced
barely l per cent and the outlook is regarded
with eQuanimity The surplus reserve OF the
banks Is now lower than at any time since the
Presidential election OF 1896. 1t will be re-
called that money during the close of that
campaign rose to prohbitive figures and gold
flowed from Europe in consequence. 1t does
not possible that specie imports will be
delayed much longer, but the incentive of very
high rates will be lacking. The domestic
money supply was never more abundant, but
the sale OF bonds and the collection of war
taxes. coupled with stoppase of heavy ex-
penditures. are locking up the money at the
Treasury at the expense OF the banks. II this
money can be placed in depository institutions
the situation will be relieved. but the difficulty
of obtaining bonds security for public de-
posts has operated to retard the transfers.
As ii is. the Treasury reserve stands at the
highest point in its history, while the majority
of the New York banks are loaned up to their
legal limit and many are below the required
reserve. The movement to the interior has be-
gun and will continue in large volume for some
weeks TO come.

TIE LUMBER TRADE.

THE MARKET RULES QUIET AND PRICES
SHOW SOME CHANGE.
Pacific Coast Wood and Iron for September
says of the lumber trade: The local redwood
market seems brighter this month and the
manufacturers are feeling easier. Prices for
wholesale material have not risen, but deliv-
cries are stronger than they have been since
January. In fact the August receipts are 20
per cent heavier than for any single month
in the last four. Prices. however, rule low;
lower than they have ever been to the knowl-
edge of the older redwood manufacturers. There
is no present indication OF possible advance,
although the coming fall may witness a rise
which is no play on words.
Pine receipts are quiet. because OF the
dearth of suitable vessels. The klondike char
ters are not frequent but the transport de-
mands for troops to the Philippines and to
Hawaii forced the larger vessels from their
usual routes and caused the substitution OF the
smaller steamers hitherto used for lumber
shipments. The coming month will find the
normal condition in vogue and pine will have
its usual vessels at command
The local Retail Association is alive to-day,
Notwithstanding the rumors on the street to
the effect that It would not last another
month. The old committee of arbitration,
which was wont 10 handle all infractions Of
rules. has been succeeded by Mr. F. w. War
rem single arbitrator. The retail business
is picking up and the month of September
should ind a better condition generally prev
alent. TIE retail prices of redwood have
been changed and stand at present: Rough
common, 81 less on both grades; selects. as
formerly. and rustic. 81 off. Other stock is
changed accordingly Inc successful close OF
the war with Spain has had a tendency to in
crease local building. and the retail market
should find a hearty response in September.
Reports from the box manufacturers through
out the State and general coast favorable.
and large fruit box orders being daily re-
ceived. The destruction of several OF the larse
box concerns outside California causes an in
crease In the orders of this State and the box
business is fourishing.
In the East and Middle West the expecta-
lions for increased business have not been full
filled. Low prices seem TO be prevalent. but
business is enlarging in its scope and the re-
naming four months of 1898 may a roster
state of affairs
