Hay and Feedstuns

Receipts of hay were moderate again yes
terday, being SO Most dealers reported
a weak market. There was change in feed
stuffs.
The circular of somers & Co. says of. hay:
Receipts of hay for the past week have
amounted TO 3.410 tons, considerable than
have received for several weeks past. With
these heavy arrivals we have noted still fur
ther falling off in the demand. which, of course,
has made rather marked weakness in prices.
No doubt this weakness is accentuated by the
fact that harvest time draws near better
crops seem probable, owing to the continued
favorable weather. We have reports from
eral of the larger hay districts that they will
have two three times much hay as they
anticipated a month ago.
An occasional car of new volunteer is seen
on the market, but 1T is impossible at this
early date to quote IL definitely. However, 1t
will not be long before will receive quite
goodly quantity of hay and from n
not the high range of prices anticipated by
many.
