extent, so that 1t is difficult 10 dispose Of
the heavy bulk OF the poorer and medium
classes that have been rushed into this market
Many farmers who apparently believe that
the present market is not good the future
may develop, have put their hay in the interior
warehouses on storage. These warehouses; both
public and private in all sections, are being
filed rapidly. and. in fact. many new barns
have been built to receive much OF this hay.
Very little hay has changed hands in the
country during the last two weeks. for the rea-
son that there is marked difference of opinion
between the ideas OF the farmers holding hay
and of the BUYERS who are in the market
The San Francisco market has been lower
this week. The medium varieties are becoming
difficult to place at anything near satisfactory
figures and as large quantities of this variety
in the fields awaiting transportation from
points at which there is adequate warehouse

As whole the eoastwise and general western
lumber trade is In better shape than for many
month past. Prices are better than they have
been; the demand is considerably increased FOR
all lumber products: stocks lower in the
yards than they should normally be at the mid
die Of August; the railroads and heavy pur-
ehasers OF this character are greatly in need OF
construction material: in fact. the millmen OF
the west have every reason TO he hopeful. -
