Hay and Feedstuffs

Hay is still higher and very firm at the ad-
vance. FeedstuTs are unchanged.
The circular Of Scott & Magner SAYS of hay
Arrivals during the last week have amount
ed to 3.2s4 tpns. The improved weather
conditions have been probably the main cause
OF this hay all coming in here but notwith-
standing the heavier arrivals the demand has
has advanced since last quotations. As we
approach the end of the season it is going
70 require care and economy for MS to have
snfncieEt of our local hay hand to supply
the demand. 1t is possible that ii may go
higher, but II appears as il there will
not be much change between this and the new
hay time 1t looks IL the visible supply
would be just about sufficient TO us through.
and weather conditions will, of course, have
month will do much to alleviate the shortage
and relieve the situation. Green feed is start
ing up rapidly all over the country, and the
land gets hard enough TO use will stop the
consumption of thousands of tons now being
required in the interior.
'on our market here all grades of hay
have advanced and selling wei. perhaps
with the exception Of the poorer grades of
stock hay. The demand for this has dropped
OFF, probably by reason of the increase in the
green feed There is little export demand.
and the interior demands continue strong for
here making purchases To carry them through
the balance of the season. No large sales OF
any amount have been reported during the last
week and general business conditions have
been quiet and regular.
