quiet.

The hay market seems to be nrmer
especially on good to best hay. Tho
burning of several hundred tons the
other day at the Lewis wharf fire was
something Of a reduction in the local
supply, though prominent hay mer-
chants say that this alone would have
been insignificant but from the fact of
a essened supply al hand and in the
country. Straw continues steady. with

Mackerel are rarely Shyer than they
have been thus far this season. About
dozen vessels have gone south, but
their quest for schools of new fish has
thus far been fruitless.
A fn,, lo,
ket from the traps on the southern
coast of New Jersey. The few thus
taken were good large fish. weighing
about two pounds apiece.
General trade in fresh fish is rather
light. Receipts of fresh cod and had
dock have been ample for all demands
since the close of the Lenten season. and
good slzed lots have been sold to the
splitters and curers at low prices.
Available arrivals are given as $50
500 pounds about 100000 being haddocls
and 100000 Goldfish, from which it may
be inferred that other varieties have
been in light supply.
Fresh aleWiVes are plenty from Cape
Cod and have sold at fair prices.
In cured fish there is little animation.
The market is about steady, with re-
oeipts of mackerel slim and quotations
rather firm, and salt cod and other
cured ground fish just holding their
own. Smoked herring are steady and
|; sard!nes and canned Holsters hold up
very we'll in values.
There have been no receipts of salt
mackerel at this port during the past
week. Usually some Irish mackerel put
in an appearance on the Atlantic steam
ers, but this week is an exception.
Sardines are firm. The combination,
or sardne trust, as it is called is
strongly ntrenched and business in this
line is quite good. For a oils the quo
tation is s2.70@2.S0 cs. while 2. mustards
bring S2.75.
