Hay and FeedstuGs

Cocoanut cake and meal are lower.
Bran and shorts not very active at the
moment, though the usual average demand Is
reported. Quotations remain unchanged.
Hay continues weak, with buyers hanging
off both here and in the country. The circular
of Somers S Co. says:
LAS matter of necessity shipments of hay
to the San Francisco market have been mate
rally decreased during the past week, the total
showing 2,T60 TONS in comparison with 4,29O
The railroad yards were becoming so congested
and the dealers found themselves at such
loss TO know what to do with their consign-
ments that many gave orders that shipments
be discontinued for while in order that the
market might be cleaned up bit. The situa-
tion here is uninteresting in every way, for con-
sumers show interest in the matter OF
filling up for the winter, which Is their general
custom about this time of year. The dealers
show speculative tendency and the farmers
to be in great hurry to sell. They are
gradually reducing their asking prices, now
ever so it may be that after a short time
considerable quantities of hay will change hands
There is very little TO encourage the hay
buyer at present for the trade outlook is a bit
discouraging. There is very little doing IN the
export liue, the movement of hay TO coastw1se
points is exceedingly light, and town trade is
not more than twO-thirds as heavy as 1t was
year ago. From all indications we believe
that only at very moderate range OIL pIlcss @
will the regular hay buyers take on any guam
tity of hay for winter and spring delivery.
although occasional car of strictly gilt
edge wheat hay sells above quotations, yet the
market shows change from the range of
