Hax and Feedstu1s

iisul lHeTe was 10 decline In prices, now ever.
The circular of Scott & Magner says:
Arrivals of hay the San Francisco market
Tor the six days just passed have amounted to
z.Iot tons At this writing prices are advanc-
Ing and the market is strong. This is caused by
extremely light arrivals and the general dry
weather scare over this portion of the state.
While there is large amount OF hay at almost
every shipping point ready to be sent into San
Francisco, still the general talk of dry weather
pelore determining what TO 90 with tneir hoid-
ings Inc probability Is that whether the
take advantage of the advance in price to pour
their stocks into this market, with the result
that prices may decline somewhat during the
coming week. Reports from all sections tell US
that the condition is extremely serious south of
San Francisco excepting in Santa Clara county
Rain Is badly needed, and even now the loss Is
great should we get rain within the next few
days. If this dry weather continues for a couple
OF weeks longer there will be practically no hay
raised in south central section
Bran and other feedstuffs continue firm and
scarce at the high prices.
