Hay and Feedstuffs

Arrivals of hay are ample, but the demand is
sufficient to keep the market firm and there are
occasional sales above the quotations Feedstuffs
are in light supply and firm ever.
The circular of Somers & Co. says:
Hay arrivals continue to decrease this
market. the total for the week ending today
amounting to 2.S70 tons. in comparison with
$3.50 last week and $3.50 the week preceding.
Because of this diminution and the continued
dry weather prices have made material ad-
vance: Should present conditions continue we
may look for a steady improvement in prices
right along. The advance is more marked with
the choicer grades of hay, although practically

although the demand is below the average yet
stocks not over plentiful, so that the situa-

will, of course, tend TO still further advance
prices; The matter of economy is especially no

Not until trade in general Is fully restored to
a normal basis will we experience q resumption
of our regular hay trade For this we may
have to wait for another season.

BEANS and seeds

Large white beans in demand and hrm-
All other descriptions quiet and easy to
weak Seeds show further change.
The circular Of Adolf koshland says:
New beans are now arriving freely and all
varieties are finding their way to market with
the exception of small white and pink beans,
which will not arrive freely for another few
weeks. During the week a fair shipping move
Inent has set in and orders are continuing for

livery.
and arrivals prices of certain varieties have
taken a downward tendency. notably for Hmas
and pinks. On the other hand, we find very
strong market for large white beans and a
firm feeling on small white in growing centers.
An advance has also occurred In large size
Garyanzas and more inquiry is noticeable for
the medium size while the small size are
still neglected Some inquiries and sales have
been made for shipment east for cranberry beans.
Horse beans are quiet.
The market In general is apparently on a
more settled and steady basis and while some
varieties are probably going to sell for less
money values should soon appear to be reason
ably safe from any material decline.

Potatoes. Onions and Vegetables

Most kinds of miscellaneous vegetables are
arriving in sufficient quantities to keep the trade
we'll supplied but the market Is generally closely
cleaned up at the close OF business each day
and the general situation is satisfactory to sell

all kinds of Burbank potatoes are In good de-
mand at stiff prices for local use. but there is
no shipping outlet for cheap stock and receivers

New York Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Oct 6.-Hutton's wire says:
Cotton opened steady, with trading light. Some
good buying orders for January the basis of
8 25c which checked the pressure. Later the
crowd covered quite freely and the market
turned very steady throughout the balance of
the session A report was going around to buy
December and sell January and March against
this, but it looks if this were done to unload
some of the December longs. The market now
seems to be purely a traders affair
Spot cotton closed quiet Middling uplands,
9.O5c; middling gulf, 9.10c. Sales, none.
