Hay and Feedstuffs.

Agents for the different brands OF Alfalfa
Meal, quoted under various names below are
cutting prices in competition. Otherwise there
is change in Feedstuffs
The circular of Somers & Co. says Of Hay:
In spite Of the diminution in shipments Of
Hay, which show but 2200 tons for the past
week in comparison with 2720 tons for the
week preceding. We can report no Improvement
in the local situation. Holders still en-
deavoring to maintain the market best they
can but 1t Is generally conceded that at the
present range OF prices losses being made
on every sale OF Hay which was purchased
during last harvest season. 1t Is the belief
OF many that the coming crop will turn out
rather poor IN quality; because Of this belief
some holders have determined to carry over
their good quality stock until next season This
may result in somewhat steadier market next
have reached bedrock and that even with the
advent of a new crop no lower prices than the
present range Will be noted.
The United States Department Of Agricul-
ture reports excellent prospects throughout the
entire State, although 1t is generally believed
that wherever possible grain will be made. AL
sumers in the way of low prices. yet after
all we may see fairly good returns for HAY
throughout the entire year.

ginning Of the year amount to 1s. 24s tons; the
total arrivals for the same period last year
were 34.172 tons. There are three vessels due
to arrive here prior to June 1. This clearly
demonstrates that the quantity OF colonial Coal
now hand must be exceedingly light, still
no change of price has taken place. There are
twenty four vessels listed to carry Coal from
carrying capacity is about 5000 tons Only
siK of these have as yet left their loading port.
The Coal deliveries here from British Columbia
up to this date in April amount to 24479
tons. The wholesale dealers are complaining
oi very light sales of fuel for domestic pur-
poses: this is the natural consequence OF
spring, Fuel oil controls the market for fully
-three-quarters Of the consumption of fuel for
steam purposes prices remain unchanged and
the oil output remains undiminshed. The last
.cabled freight quotations Coal show a soft
ening of rates. and this may serve TO increase
Australian shipments later on. The continuous
seasonable weather up to date for our cereal
products should make this port seductive one
