Hay is quoted very firm, with the finest
wheat bringing SCI. There is no change in
feedsturs, the market being slenderiy sup
piled and firm.
The circular of somers & Co. says:
shipments of hay to the San Francisco
market continue to decrease the total for the
week just ending amounting to 2.670 tons. AL
though this decrease has been occasioned some
what by the prevailing scarcity, yet the
tendency of owners to hold In anticipation OF
higher prices is also largely responsible for
present light shipments The demand through
becoming more and more apparent each day
that many districts are very short OF hay
Therefore. although the market here is not
especially interesting and the demand is still
rather light. vet It Is now generally conceded
that the entire states supply as compared with
the entire demand is none too. great, but that
ON the other hand a material shortage may be
noted before hay grows again.
For the first time for long period arrivals
by water have exceeded in quantity those by
heavily drawn upon and unless the car shortage
Is relieved at an early date our entire stocks
located the water will be exhausted.
Considerable interest is still manifested IN
the outcome Of the bay tenders for Manila ship
ment for the government. As yet award
has been made Should even portion of the
order be let here it would have materially
Strengthening effect on our market.
I'VE can report but little change in prices
from the quotations given during the past two
ment Is most decidedly toward higher prices. -
