The circular Of Somers & Co. says Of Hay:
Shipments of Hay have been moderately
heavy during the past week. considering the
rather -uiet demand that we always expert
ence just before the Fourth of July. $500 tons
having arrived. in comparison with $500 tons
for the week preceding. The new crop has
been somewhat in evidence during the past
few days. about one-quarter of the present ar
rivals being new. Choicer grades OF Wheat
and Wheat and Oat selling WELL whereas
anything that is of but medium quality goes
at very low prices. 1t is difficult to quote
ceivers here have very di%e----t ideas as TO
values. Reports go to show that the State has
year, although the proportion OF good quality
will be smaller. There Is no outside demand
whatever at the moment. nor rs there anything
in sight to encourage the market: both north
and south Of us the crop is very plentiful SO
that. unless some unexpected foreign demand
arises. practically all shipments must go for
local consumption.
Some purchases of choice grade Hay have
been made in the country at high prices. al
though the aggregate OF all such buying will
probably not exceed four or five thousand tons.
Much money was lost last year on Hay and it
speculation done on the part of the San Fran
