Hay and FeedStnfs.

There Hay market yesterday owing
to the heavy rain Feedstuffs as pre-
viously quoted. The circular of Somers & Coz
says OF Hay: shipments of Hay for the past
week show increase of 600 tons over the
week preceding. 2600 tons in comparison with
20o0. 1t was found that the arrivals of last
week not sufficient for the demand SO
all holders OF Hay have increased their orders
OF course il must be remembered that about
1O0 tors daily are taken from the market to be
pressed up for Manila shipment, and this will
continue until the first of March. After that
date we will probably see continuous light
shipments until the end of the season.
I'VE have very little of interest to report
concerning the local situation here except that
although trading is bit light. yet the market
holds with quite firm tone.
I'm all probability there will be but little

affects so wide territory that they Will have
little need to come far north as San Fran-

unless their markets should become depleted

a term in the County Jail by Judge
Cabaniss for visiting such a place His
conviction was based on an ordinance
which makes it a misdemeanor for
any one to visit a gambling place the
doors of which are barricaded against
the police. All Sins attorney held
that the law in question was illegal
