Hay and Eeedstun.

s. The circular OF Somers Co. says: ar
rivals Of hay show some little decrease from
those of last week, 415o tons in comparison
with 1850. The situation, however, has re
been some dminution In the quantity Of good
hay received. which has tended somewhat to
depress prices We note active inquiry still fol-
the very best grades Of wheat and tame cat. but
practically everything else is IN but moderate
demand. Alfalfa is being marketed more freely
and moves of at steady figures.
The weather rercet-s favorable for the hay
farmers and If the rains will hold OF for an
other thirty days practically everything will be
marketed or housed for winter shipment.
No new or interesting features have devel-
oped on our local market here and the demand
continues along in the same old lines
Bran and Shorts are developing more hrnness,
as the depression following the recent heavy re-
ceipts from the north is over. Prices however,
remain unchanged.
