HAY and Feedstufrs.

Bran and Shorts continue weak, with plenty
of stock on the market. The situation in Hay
remains unchanged, most of the receipts being
by water those of 1916 tons yesterday including
only 81 cars.
The circular of Somers & Co says:
Arrivals of Hay have been very heavy during
the week ending today, the total showing 1880
tons, almost 1000 tons In excess of the total
for last week Previous to today the situation
has been very strong, but on this mornings
was a marked weakening. The schooners have
been badly wind-bound for several days. hence
the accumulation this morning. As wharf room
is rather scarce, 1t will take several days to
unload today's arrivals. Now that the blockade
is broken by rail, however, it is generally con
in the mdim grads of Hay. although. as choice
Hay continues TO arrive but sparingly, no fmme
date decline is looked for in this particular
line. 1t becomes more and more evident right
along that IL is the better grades that are
being held back. The more unstable varieties
are rapidly finding their way to market
Local trade continues quite active. with

of the fairly active demand noted during the
past month or should continue, at least until
the heavy rains set in. Alfalfa and Straw have
both been in rather moderate supply and have
found ready sale at previous quotations.
''It is our idea to the immediate future
of the market that anything that cannot pc
termed choice in the line of grain Hay will sell
at somewhat lower figures, and. although cars
are fairly plentiful at most points at the mo-
ment, yet would advise all possible storage
in the country TO De niled at once. n
little accumulation here may call for en-
barge here at any time and as surplus stocks
cannot be stored. shippers may find themselves

moment.
