Hay and Feedstuffs

Hay continues in good shape fer sellers. the
upper grades especially. There is nothing new in
feedstufs. The circular of Somers & Co. says:
1.-The only feature of the arrivals is the in
crease of rail shipments and the decrease in
water shipments. The present demand is chiefly
for the choice grades Of hay and these are
to be found practically alone by railroad II is
but reasonable to suppose that water shipments
must be momentarfly lessened-
The supply of choice wheat hay was some
what lessened few days ago. when 1000 tons
OF some of Livermores best wheat hay burned
1t is generally conceded that the best grades
stand on a firm basis and will sell well dur
ing the remainder of the season
I'm spite OF conflicting reports it is a
fact that other states are drawing on Us for hay
in considerable quantities. Seattle and Portland
are buying here quite freely. several hundred
having been shipped TO these points last
week and With inquiries still coming IN At the
moment. therefore. everything points toward a
healthy demand and a favorable market from

QUIET DAY In
STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-operators IN
stocks kept one eye the money market
today and seemed to be suspicious of pos
sible developments in spite of superficial
tranquility there. The heavy calling of
loans by some of the banks yesterday was
followed by a rise above 5 per cent in the
call loan rate. Exchange for Fridays sail
ing commanded lower rates than for cur
rent delivery. From this it is inferred
that exchange rates are likely TO decline
with the passing Of the special demand for
remittance incident to the sending abroad
of Christmas money and for payments of
January / interest and dividends On for
eign held American securities. This week
the domestic interior has discontinued its
rcmittances to New York and is retaining
funds for holiday demands.
The subtreasary is contributing literally
to the banking reserves through large gov
ernuent disbursements. This is offset in
part by the shipments Of gold to South
Americs.
The body of the security list was inert
today and the only perceptible play Of
prices was in specialties, which are not

CHICAGO, Dec. 2I.--As hnaIe 70 a series OF
highly fuctuating quotations received recently in
dispatches covering the Argentine grain market.
the board of trade here today posted the follow
ing notice:
ther notice.
Last Saturday prices jumped pa @29se per
bushel. owing to dispatch from BuenOs Aires
telling of advance OF II Il q11Ac in wheat.
Attempts at corroboration apparently sue
cessful. This tremendous bulge seemed to
firm previous fears of big crop shortage in
Argentina resulting from unfayorabe weather
there while the new crop in the ripening
stage. Subsequent inquiry disclosed yesterday
that the advance in Buenos Aires had been APP
proximately only Il C. and the explanation
made that the discrepancy arose from Of
currency and quantity measures other than the
American dollar and the standard bushel.
Secretary Stone of the board of trade said:
1.-The irregularity and uncertainty of the dis
patches from Argentina caused TO discontinue
posting the quotations for the present. The quo
tations have been irregular for time and
have disagreed with other adyices, both here and
