Some little hay is still going South, but these shipments seem in no Way'to reltéve our market. It is mow being thoroughly proven that the crop this year is much heavier than that of last. Already It is threatening rain and there are still large quantities of hay out of doors not yet even baled. Storms throughout the Scuth and Middle West would seem to indicate that we might expect rain here at a rather early date. To summarize, therefore, we would state that prospects for the immediate future are rather discouraging, for lack of transpor- tation facilities and the general dullness of trade here will tend to keep back quil bit of hay in the flelds unttl a rather late date. ‘We give no material change in quotations from the prices given there is an undercurrent of weakne: llnu elem p!rhlpi chflcc wheat hay.'
