Hay and Feedstuffs

Hay receipts became more normal yesterday,
falling to 207 tons, including IA cars. The feel
ing Was consequently better, though prices re-
lined the same.
Feedstufs continue as before Bran aud shorts
are still scarce, but the abundance of green feed
has cut down the country demand considerably
and eased tile recent famine to just that extent.
All quotations unchanged.
The circular of Somers d Co. says Of hay:
Hay continues to come to market quite freely
and in about the same quantities as during the
last two or three weeks. The total for the week
ending today amounted to 5, ,260 tons, in compari-
son with $3.50 tons for the week preceding. Ar
rivals seem to be absorbed fairly, although on
some days when receipts excessive consider
able difficulty is experienced in disposing OF all
arrivals Some little announcement is held ont
at times by the report thar business in general
Is somewhat better, and, although we look rather
on the hopeful side Of it ourselves, yet It is our
opinion that for the balance of 1905 will ex-
perience no particular stir in trade. There is no
reason. however, why all lines should not enjoy
fairly good seasons business. but the flush
times of over a year ago should not be expected
for many months to come.
The hay market is quite generally dependent
on business conditions here, for the eonsumpt tion
OF hay on this market is good barometer Of the
volume of trade.
