We have no doubt but the meeting of the boll weevil convention at New Orleans will be instrumental in causing farm- ers to hold their cotton for higher prices.

Most everything tbat is being marketed was purchased by different Hay dealers during the summer. and rather than make any loss on their purchases they seem inclined to with- draw them from the market and store them in their own warehouses here in town. From Wwhat we can learn many orders for sh pment have been canceled, so that during the next tWo or three weeks it is very reasonable to expect light shipments of Hay. As a rule we experfence a rather quiet demand during the holiday season, so we anticipate a very un- interesting state of affairs here untit after the first_of the vear, “Crop prospects are very encouraging. sc that no apprehension need be felt in that di- rection at present. From all appearances the only thing that can help our market is some unprecedented demand, and it seems as though something might materfalize In this line shortly. Inquirles for lots of Hay ranging from 2000 to tons_for shipment to the Orient have been circulated throughout this market during the past week, and the inquiry has been so general that we are compelled to belleve that there must be some ne Hay, either for the Japanese or the Russians. Should either natlon become purchasers in the San Francisco market the situation may be greatly improved here, especially as the United for our | States Government will recelve blds shortly for 6800 tons for shipment to Manila BRAN—$20§22 per ton.
