1he Han Situation.


Chicago March 5.-Commission men
say 1.-THE country has stopped shipping
hay. The small receipts here are Of
hay billed out two weeks or longer ago.
which is just arriving. We are going
to have f1rmer, stronger markets. We
do not look for any sharp or material
advance, but we do expect the market
to become more cleared Of hay, before
it is again plentiful, than it has been
for six months. We are now at the PEE
Rod of bad roads: then will follow
spring work in it's various forms, and
the outlook does not indicate that hay
will be as freely handled as it has been
of late, for farmers have had little to
do but market their hay since the holt
days. The mild winter saved so much
Of the low grades that our market be-
came demoralized and glutted with 1t,
and it has not yet fully recovered from
the surfeit, though the top grades are
rallying fast and are quickly picked up
by the trade.
Farmers have surplus of medium
to common hay left. This they do not
seem willing to take prices prevailing
for. but we think it is a mistake to
hold 1t back for the April or May mar
ket. for the quantity OF it will then
slump the market badly. Let 1t come
along whenever stiff healthy markets
rule, even though the figures are not
quite as high as they might be. Re-
member that the grain crop was large
one; that about half Of it has yet to be
marketed; and that price Of grain COM
pared to hay is moderate and grain Is
always fed In preference to hay when
this condition exists.
