Hay and Feedstuffs

Somers & Co. say OF hay:
There has been a marked diminution In hag
shipments during the week ending today. the
total showing but 2 $50 tons in Comparison with
week preceding. The general scarcity OF cars
has been mainly responsible for these light
shipments, although 1t is well that hay was
not shipped in here more freely, for mar
ket has been very dull and could not have well
absorbed any greater supply.
The feature OF the hay market at the pres
ent moment Is its dullneSS and the hoped for
trade that generally materializes after the
fourth OF July is not yet In evidence. The
lack OF demand can be attributed to the fact
take in their winters supply at this time OF
year very Indifferent and inclined
to wait bit longer, anticipating even lower
prices.
we have frequently referred to the fact
that the barley market and the hay market gem
orally go hand in hand As the barley market
has recently made sharp advance, IL may be
that hay Will improve after a bit also. At the
moment, however. there Is nothing to encourage
US to look for any advance In prices In the

vance of sc to 14c a bushel Corn and oats
became firm in sympathy, and closed at prices
varying from last nights level TO 5sc higher

the latter. Hog products swung in the opposite
direction, finishing Zoe to 22Eac down.
4 Latest quotations for wheat were the topmost
or the day. One expert who is travelling in
estimate the North Dakota yield 10000. 900
bushels and indicated that with the crop in
South Dakota and Minnesota the total would be
only Jag, 900. 900 bushels as against 16. 900. 900
figures. The output of the Canadian northwest
was put at IS ZOO, 600 bushels, compared with
LAT 100000 bushels the official total last year.
Early news had been quite the other way.
Receipts at Winnipeg wege more than twice
as large the corresponding day IL months
ago. Primary receipts were large, especially In
the southwest. Country sales of new wheat
here were LIBERAL too. and there were rains

agriculture was interpreted meaning that
rain had benefited wheat there materially.
All these influences, though, seemed to count

NEW LOW LEVEL
MADE IN COFFEE

NEW YORK, July 12.-Stocks
suffered reaction in today's mar
ket after rising IN the early deal
ings TO about the high level re-
bound which had been in pro-
gress for several days.
The movement was not accom-
panied by any notable change in
the news Of conditions, but there
was distinct decrease in demand
at the higher levels incident to
the reduction of the short inter
est and the disinclination of buy
ers OF a more substantial kind
to follow the rise in prices in
face of the uncertain views Of
the conditions indicated by the
six months of falling prices of
stocks.
The copper stocks were the
vulnerable spot in the list, ANAL
gamated copper falling to a new
low level for the year in conso-
nance with a further decline of
the price of copper in London.
This special weakness had SYM
pathetic effect on the general list,
but the establishment of down
ward tendency in the price move
ment revived some feeling of dis
quiet over the general business
situation.
The tone of statement said to
have been issued in behalf of the
German foreign office regarding
10
South America was the decisive
influence in shaping the later
movement of stock prices.
The fall in prices of copper
metal to new low levels in London
and reports of price concessions
also in the New York copper mar
ket put bad face on the situa
ton in that industry and on the
earning prospects OF companies
concerned in the mining and sale
OF the metal
The weakening effect of the
liquidation in the coppers and the
hesitation of buying on account Of
the market sensitive to the re-
ported utterance of the German
foreign office.
The report was so circumstan-
tial in giving official sanction to
the statement and the statement
itself was, at the same time, so
provocative in tone, as to throw
some feeling of CONSERVATION into
the market, and there was some
hasty throwing over of stocks.
The direct contradiction in the
tone of the utterance to the con-
ciliatory. statement on the subject
from the same source earlier in
the day served to throw suspicion
on il, and the lack of reliable con-
firmation left the report discred-
tied and induced the shorts to
cover and rally the market. The
earlier declines were only partly
recovered, leaving last prices be-
low last night, but with the tone
quite steady.
Crop news, money market con-
ditions, the gold import prospects
and other factors which have fig
ured in the late market were sup
planted by the technical position
and the German sensation.
Bonds were Irregular. Total
sales (par value), S1,413,oo0.
Z. S. bonds were unchanged
