HAY AND FEEDsTUFFs.

Bran and Middlings rule firm. Local Hay
continues dull and unchanged, though the feel
ing is rather frmer. Outside Hay is higher
The circular of Scott & Magner says: Re
ceipts of Hay the San Francisco market
during this week have continued to be quite
moderate, and not as much is usual at this
period OF the season. In the absence OF rain
and with the drying wind that is prevailing
throughout the State. ii was natural to expect
that the market would advance, particularly
in view of the fact that stocks of Hay on hand
are not large, but this expectation has not
been realized. While the market is firm, and
on some consignments sales have been made
at slightly better figures than during last week.
there is general advance in prices. Sales
during the week have only been fair: The main
trouble appears to be the simple proposition of
lack of demand With a continuation of the
prevailing conditions. the market should do
better in@-Ae future"
