HAY and Feedstuns.

Receipts of Bran and other Feedstuffs last
week were light and prices have shown no
further change worthy of note Arrivals of
Hay yesterday $40 tons including AZ
cars. The circular of Scott & Magner says:
Receipts of Hay for the week have been
1866 tons. The rains throughout the week
have interfered very largely in the satisfac-
tory handling of these large arrivals. The
market having strengthened up some of late,
has directed heavier shipments here. We have
that heretofore had not been shipping to San
Francisco These additional arrivals have
burdened the market somewhat this week and
heiped to cause an easier feeling. The market
throughout is decidedly easier than last week
There has been quite good deal of frst-cass
Hay coming in and this particular variety
has been exceptionally easier.
Both Alfalfa Hay and Glover Hay have
shown decided weakness of late. as the de-
mand for Cow Hay is much lighter than it
to green feed. Prices on these varieties are
lower. The Straw market continues just about
as 1t has been. There is no change to note
either one way or the other, there is Just
about enough coming to Offset the demand .

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.
Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO March 31.-The market for wheat
opened very dull. During the nrst part OF the
session the wheat market steady on a
fair demand by commission houses and pit
traders. Later in the day the market be-
came weak because OF selling by commission
houses, which was thought TO be for the ac-
count of Eastern holders. Reports from all
sections from the winter wheat indf
Gated that the growing crop is progressing
iavorably. According to private advces seed
ing operations have begun in the Northwest
and within another week 1t was claimed this
work will be in full swing. Large primary
ceipts and a continued heavy movement in
the Northwest also created bearish sentiment.
May opened shade to 1se lower at
71S. m77Kc, advanced to 7Sbc and gradually
sold off 10 7THc. The clcse was at lag
T7asc q net loss OF 1sQAc.
The corn market was steady early In the
day, but eased off in sympathy with wheat.
May closed Ac lower at 44Ac.
The market for oats extremely dull.
May closed &c off at 309sc.
Provisions opened steady on a fair demand
by commission houses. Trading. however, was
light. At the close May pork was up 15c;
lard was 718G10c higher and ribs were up
l215c.

Dealers were still quoting up to $1.10 per

Onions were weak. with receivers trying hard
to effect clearances.
