Hay mud FccdStuffS

The hay market continues in very unsatisfac-
tory condition for sellers. being very dull. The
circular of Somers & Co. says:
THE last weeks arrivals of hay mate
rally less than for little time, but 2.4S0
tons arriving in comparison with 1850 tons dur q,
undoubtedly interfered with the loading of hay
TO some extent, although the demand locally and
for export has been very light and the market
could not we'll take care of greater quantity
than received. The lack of arrivals of hay
by water has been somewhat of feature this
week and can be attributed to the falling OF in
the demand for alfalfa from northern coast ports
A few struggling shipments are now being made
being received Previous tx this week large
quantities of alfalfa have been brought in by
water and shipped direct north.
"A rather interesting feature of the hay and
grain situation can be noted in the fact that
California has been shipping vast quantities of
hay to Oregon and Washington, and now the
ket at the same figure as our local barley can be
landed here. However the offers are not being
accented, buyers fearing materially lower prices
for this grain. realizing that stocks in the state
are exceedingly heavy and appreciating the ex
celIent conditions. which promise an abundant
grain crop in this state during the coming sea
SON Hay has already taken material slump in
price this season, and. although barley is lower
than 1t has been, yet 1t is not. comparatively
arsn as can certany be for ats
tics show that prices of hay and barley gener-
ally move in sympathy with each other"
