Most everything that is being marketed was
purchased by different Hay dealers during the
summer and rather than make any loss on
draw them from the market and store them In
their own warehouses here in town. From
what We can learn many orders for sh pment
have been cancelled. that during the next
expect light shipments of Hay. As rule we
experience a rather quiet demand during the
holiday season so we anticipate a very un-
interesting state of affairs here until after the
first of the year.
Crop prospects are very encouraging sc
that no apprehension need be felt in that di-
rection at present From all appearances the
only thing that can help our market is some
something might materiahze in this line
shortly. Inquiries for lots of Hay ranging
from 2000 to 5000 tons for shipment to the
Orient have been circulated throughout this
market during the past week. and the inquiry
has been so general that we compelled TO
believe that there must be some need for our
Hay either for the japanese or the Russians
Should either nation become purchasers in the
San Francisco market the situation may be
greatly improved here, especially as the United
States Government will receive bids shortly
