Hay and Feedstufrs

Feedstuhs are very firm at the general ad-
vance of Monday. Hay stands about before
reported. The circular of Somers Sc Co. says:
Arrivals of hay have been rather light dur
ing the past week, the total showing 2,340
tons-about the quantity noted for the
week preceding The market has been alter
nately strong and weak, according TO the num-
Der of buyers each day. As we write. the sitlla-
tion is not particularly active, although the
choicer grades of wheat, tame oat and Wild
oat hay for retail purposes in good demand.
Because of the comparative scarcity of the
choicer varieties there Is wide range in prices
and although the extreme prices obtained might
indicate much better market than was expe-
rienced a week two ago. yet on the whole
the situation is practically unchanged, with oc-
casonal fancy cars only selling at advanced
figures
Crop conditions seem to be the all important
topic of the day and although considerable ex-
citement is felt in some localities yet with
recent showers and favorable cool weather
we have no apprehension to the outcome of
the situation We believe that both the hay crop
and the barley crop will be sufficient for all
needs and that prices on both will ruIe
at a moderate range so that no hardship will
be imposed either the grower or the con-
sumer.''

Los Angeles Market.

LOS ANGELES, May 5.-Though egg receints
continued cont light and demand strengthened there
were no changes In quotations today, but dealers
look for an advance of cent or more on all
grades tomorrow or next day. Evidently stock In
cisco Is practically all moving northward where
prices are better and these must be met locally
Bidding was unusually heavy and the demand
could scarcely be filled. TT
There was something of furry in Bermuda
onions which arrived in large quantities and
found heavy sale at rather low prices. No po-
tatoes were offered and apparently there was no
demand. Butter offerings were very heayy and
demand light, with the result that decided weak
ness developed and early declines would not be
surprising Cooking was the principal kind put
up, and in contrast with heavy trading the past
offerings also were heavy with only fair bidding
and buying Northern full cream held the lead.
The general volume OF business was below the
average and prices held up well, principally
