consignments. Because of the unsatisfactory
condition of affairs most holders OF nay nave
announced their intention to reduce their snip
ments, which will probably result in an I'M
proved market within the near future ALMOST
every one still predicts open winter. Wnlcn
in itself does not tend to strengthen the STU
alton any.
During the past week some little attention
has been given our market by the oregon
dealers ii having been reported that the nay
crop of that State is very short. There Is
some possibility therefore, of shipments being
made that way before the end of the season
Should this come about we may yet have a
very interesting market here. especially II
The better grades of Wheat Hay are very
much in evidence just at present. with the
result that the market on this especial grade
Is very soft. whereas the medium grades are
holding their own much better. Some dam
aged shipments are still being made and are
going at low prices. Other kinds show no
material change from the quotations given
during the last Two weeks. "

CLOSING Quotations.
Eiined for Frivolous ApDeaI.

The Supreme Court yesterday i'm
posed a finer of 800 upon B. Kelsey
for making a frivolous appeal from
the judgment of the Superior Court.
He was codefendant with the West
ern Land and Title Company in a suit
instituted by the Home Savings
Building and Loan Association OF Ala
media A demurrer to the complaint
was overruled and Kelsey appealed
solely in his own behalf The Supreme
Court says the law on the subject Is
clear and concise and that the appel
liant should be able TO appreciate that
fact. The appeal was supposedly taken
to protract the litigation.
