As there is still a great quantity of Hay which cannot find warehouse room, we expect & con- tinuance of heavy shipments for several weeks to_come, ‘‘We have to report a somewhat unusual condition of affairs here, and that is the very slack demand for Hay, which at this particular time of the year is generally very heavy. general report of trade conditions is a bit dis- couraging, for most of the wholesale houses complain ‘of Very light orders, with the con- sequence that the teaming business hera is very dull.
