practically of those consumers and dealers
who usually lay in barn full of hay from the
fields at this time of the year, have so far
begun TO do So Therefore it may be expected
that little later will have a steadier
and active general demand, as the horses
in the city must be fed
While there has been decline in mar
ket, yet the feeling being decidedly easy,
some sales have been made at little under
the current quoted figures. The fields are be-
ing rapidly cleared vf the hay crop, as it is
being put into the warehouses In the interior,
and We expect to them clear earlier this
year than during previous years.
