Hay and Feedstun.

Prices for feedstuffs stand the same, the mar.
ket being meagerly supplied.
Hay continues firm, with active demand al
top figures. The detailed statement of the stock
ON hand November j appears elsewhere this
page. The circular of Scott & Magner says:
Receipts of hay for the past days have been
2,527 TONS Continued shortage of cars holds
down receipts aud has strengthened trading and
prices
This week the San Francisco hay association
has compiled its tabulatlon of the stock OF hay
on hand available for this market on November
/. Greatly to the surprise of the local trade and
much to its CONSERVATION, 1t appears that there
is on hand but 116.S50 tons. These figures are
significant when compared with the stock of last
year at the same time of 229. GOO TONS being a
ticularly serious when the. records are examined
and show the amount of hay consumed in the
San Francisco market between November and
May in the last years. as follows:
November. 1904. TO May. 1905, 116 900 tons
November. 1905, to May. 1905. $4,000 tons; No
vember, 1906, 10 May. 1907, 127. 900 tons; Novem-
Der. 1907. to May. 1908. 1S9. 900 tons
Reasoning. therefore, from these figures. the
San Francisco market should be bare of hay
about the first of April. 1907 and unless supplies
are received from neighboring states there is
not enough in sight TO go around and there is
possibility of serious hay shortage. II not act
ual hay famine.
When 1t is considered that with the figures
and normal consumption above, there have
been on hand on the first of May for the last
five years at the least %, 500 tons, and at the
most $4,000 tons, the gravity Of the situation
may be appreciated While the local dealers
nave reallzed there IS shortage In hay, the
great deficiency has not been appreciated until
now
We learn from the interior that pastures are
exhausted, that absence OF rain has prevented
green feed from starting. and that farmers are
already beginning to haul hay out of the ware
houses to feed their stock. Should dry season
add its share TO the situation, hay consumers Of
California are facing very serious condition
of affairs.
Trading in the interior has practically stopped
as the farmers all holding their hay either
to protect themselves from a possible dry sea
son, or anticipating considerable advance in
prices through the winter months As result
of the above conditions, there is a marked feel
ing OF strength In our local market and prices
are advancing. Under any conditions. we look
for an advance in market prices in the near
future which will become much greater should
rain hold OF for any length OF time.

and fat wild ducks brought good prices, sOIne-

Conditions in fresh fruits stood lust about the
same on the preceding days OF the week and
there was nothing in the way OF new or striking
feature to report. Some extra buying for Sun-
day wants, together with the filling Of orders
for shipment outgoing steamers enIivened
the market for while. but the activity was ~
short duration and trade quiet during the
greater part Of the day. Table grapes were in
ample supply but stin prices were obtained for
large lug packages continued to find the most
favor with local tradesmen. Apples moved OF
freely at steady to firm prices. and what hxs
were received early found prompt sale at salts
factory figures, while late arrivals had to he
sold cheap, hence the wide range in the quOta-
tions. A few scattering lots of Bartlett pears
and peaches from cold storage were Offering but
found few buyers, and the quotations We're more
or less nominal. Strawberries from Los Angeles
sold at 75c for crates Of 10 small baskets and
the arrivals from nearby districts dragged at
rather weak rates Raspberries were mostly
poor and sales at the outside quotataion were
rare. Ounces and late red plums were slow OF
sale and there was not much call for pomegran-

goods were limited to a few small express LOTS
