teer oat and barley hay are being freely offered

As opposed 10 this, holders OF old hay are
asking from SD to $50 per ton. The result
Is that the hay is finding ready sale and
consumers are all taking hold Of 1t with the
greatest activity while the old hay drags aud
sales can only be effected at reductions IN
