Hay and Feedntnn.

The circular Of Scott Magner says: Arrivals
Of hay for the last week have been abount
ZOO tons, which is quite a dropping of
from previous shipments There has been
but very little change ia the situation, and
our market continues strong and prices about
the same as previous quota tions with trading
brisk. readily absorbing all that comes in. The
receipts have dropped of somewhat the last
two weeks, the holidays interfering with the
shipping in the country, and also the quietness
Of trade here, which usually have at this
season. somewhat interfering with the demand
The fact that have had so far only
about half Of our normal rainfall and that
these rains have been followed by cold snaps
and heavy frosts, with north wind, has alb
soiutey destroyed all signs OF green feed, and
the country throughout central California Is as
bare 4 floor. Although blowing has been
carried on energetically IN all sections this
lack Of feed has caused an enormous consump-
fion Of the stored stocks OF hay. A general
demand throughout the country for alfalfa and
stock hay has been most unusual, and the
prices Of these articles have increased TO
an abnormal extent. The Los Angeles hay
market has again advanced. making an extreme
demand from that section for our northern
stocks"
