Hay and Feedstuffs.

Feedstuffs continue firm at about previous
prices. The best grades Of Hay are now quoted
frmer and In rather better demand. but the
medium and lower grades are still neglected.
Hay records for the week just ended show
considerably heavier receipts than for the week
crease of about 200 tons. The greater part Of
these shipments have consisted of Wheat Hay
of medium and poorer grades, and in conse-
low. Considerable stock Hay has been offered
and. as the dairymen and butchers are well
supplied with green feed Hay of this class
way Of reduced figures Even though stock
Hay is offered at these low prices. no one is
vast s amount 10 Of Hay 0 which viii have 70 'b be
marketed before the new season. and therefore
fear lower prices.
Strictly choice Hay. either tame oat or
well. that is, in comparison with other grades.
Very little of this quality has been marketed
who viii pay premium for fancy Hay. we
can report those grades as ruling firm.
REPORTS come to US from all localities that
large, although from present indications ii is
feared that little fancy Hay will be put up.

CHICAGO. April 12.--Bullishness was mani
tested in the wheat pit from the start.
Initial quotations on May were up 5se to Mc
at 81 15t4 to 81 15% July was unchanged to
shade higher at STAG to S7AQ07asc. I'M
mediately after the opening shorts bid up
the price of May to 81 1914 The demand
was brought out by a runor that leader of
Wall street clique is said to control long
line of May Wheat that had arrived In Chicago.
An intimation that the visit of the Eastern
speculator might have object further
squeeze in May wheat was the main cause
of the sudden advance in the price of that
option On the sharp upturn offerings were
liberal. and the price quickly reacted to 81 15
Firmness of distant futures was due largely
to higher prices at Liverpool Cold weather
in the Northwest also had q bullish effect
Later the market received additional strength
from report by a Minneapolis crop expert
alleging that the Government crop report re-
Gently issued Is altogether too optimistic
Damaging reports were also received from
Kansas and Nebraska. July reached the
highest point OF the day at S7MQSSc Part
of the gain was lost later because of profit
taking. The market. however, closed firm
with July up a shade at S7A @67asc Final
quotations on May were &c higher at 81 1511
Sentiment in the corn pit was inclined to
bullishness July closed unchanged at 4Skc
oats showed considerable strength July
closed practically unchanged at 3Oc
Provisions were firm but the volume of busi-
ness was exceedingly small. At the close July
pork was unchanged, lard and ribs each up
a shade.
