It is several months since we have any such arrivals as this. It s an un- denfable fact that the country cannot stand a | continuance of such heavy drains very long and we are of the decided opinion- that from this time on shipments will be much lighter. | Some sample shipments have been made from | ‘outside’ districts, but the style of bale and | quality of Hay sent has not been very satis- factory to this' market, with the result that shippers have been considerably dissppointed and are now seeking other markets for their Hay. Both In the extreme northern and the extreme southern parts of the State, as well as very generally throughout the San Joaquin Valley, the three-wire bale is used almost ex- clusiv This does not take well here, the | three-quarter bale with five bands selling best on the San Francisco market. Quite a bit of What is being shipped from the above-mention- ed outside districtx is in this three-wire bale, and at least §1 per ton is lost as a result of marketing the Hay in what is here considered an_undesirable package. “In spite of the large amount of rain which we had last month, conditions are now rapidly changing owing to continuous hot weather, The top of the ground is becoming baked ahd we | | must_have more showers soon to insure the | | splendid crop which was promised a few weeks a 1 | ““As to the immediate future of the market, evervthing will depend on receipts.
