tanning the declines to the end Of the day than
did the bulls yesterday in holding the ad-
vances. The extreme dullness Of the market
and the poignant complaints OF all commits

pay Office expenses warrant the assumption
that operations are exclusively in professional
hands. While various news items Of the day

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables.

The market for table Potatoes was IN good
shape under a continued steady demand and

All descriptions under this head continue

The circular of Somers & Co. says:
Shipments of Hay have been steadily de-
clining for the last ten days. the total for the
comparison with 2T00 tons for last week and
$500 for the week preceding that. There
seems to be a general disposition on the part
of most holders of Hay to string along their
shipments so as to last them until the advent
of the new crop. In the light of all reports
this is very wise proceeding for otherwise
at the rate Hay has been coming there would
be practically nothing left in the country by
the first Of May. The almost continuous rain
for the past five six days has interfered
very materially with trading in Hay. for. as is
always the case in bad weather, very little
Hay is handled and every one buys from hand
TO mouth only, preferring to await good wealth
er before handling any great quantities. The
rain has not had the effect that many antici-
pated. for although trading has been light, no
apparent concessions have been made in prices.
We have contended right along that the Hay
market was not a weather market except in
so far as a very high range of prices would
have been seen sooE had the rain not come
There is doubt that present stocks will be
entirely consumed when Hay is ready for
market, and II any new section commences TO
draw from. us there will again be considerable
excitement here. In this connection we have
to report that 1t has definitely been given out
here that the Japanese Government has been
