PouItrx and Game

There were heavy arrivals of poultry from state
shipping points yesterday, 101 coops coming in
on the early express trains and later deliveries
from the PetAluma region brought the total re-
ceipts TO well above 200 coops. Business was
quiet during the greater part of the day, and
while prices for everything the list were
maintained the market lacked snap, as retailers
were inclined to hold of, in view of the liberal
offerings.

Hay and FeedstuFs


No other changes in feedstuffs. A irmer feel
ing In hay was reported yesterday, with some
kinds slightly higher.
The circular of Somers & Co. says of hay:
Receipts of hay for the last week have
amounted to $3.50 tons, an amount about equal
TO that which arrived last week. Conditions re-
main practically the same here, so we can report
no change. But little interest in any hay is
SHOWN on the market with the possible exception
OF an occasional car of fancy wheat hay which
is seen but very little here now, owing to the
fact that people who purchase this quality of
nay cannot bring it in at present and realize
any profit on their investment, and are, there
1ore, holding it in the country with the idea of
come oe'.er or et oemand and later on Whether this viii
still continues dull and we are all the time
getting reports to the effect that many consum-
sufficient old hay on hand to last them some
nttle time One or two of the larger consum-
. ers are filling their barns, but this has had no
notlceaDle effect on the market.
The present prices of hay are considerably
higher than they usually are during this period
sumers feel that they cannot afford to pay these
prices and are using every effort to get along
with as little hay as possible and wherever they
could do so have turned their horses out to pas
ture- The future, of course, still remains
question; the farmers are holding for high
prices and all consumers are using their efforts
to secure hay at lower figures And SO it will
continue until some apparent force comes along

part OF the nitrogen. the most expen-

more available form here than In the
