Even the most pessimistic are be-
ginning to realize that hay is as

had imangined, it having sold in the

Six carloads of cattle have been
shipped from here this fall and an
unusually large amount of marsh hay
was made during the summer and
these will tend somewhat to keep the
price of hay down but owing to the
early winter We are strongly of the
opinion that unless large quantities
are shipped in that the price will
remain near $40 or even soar higher.
