Hay and Feedstuff s. Handlers of Feedstuffs continue to report a firm market for thesa goods. Hay is unchanged. The circular of Somers & Co. says: "Hay shipments have been increasing dur ing the r»ast week, the total for the past six days being ">500 ton». an increase over the week preceding of 400 tons. Under the pres sure of such heavy arrivals, matters have been dragging somewhat, but prices have been held up remarkably well. Choice grade Wheat Hay sells Itself, but the medium grades have to be worked off because of their abundance. Ordinarily this would bring a decided lowering of price?, but as the bulk of present ship-, ments are shipped on purchases. It can be readily understood why every- one holds firmly for the prices of 'last month. "Owing to the general fear of early rain*, much Hay is seeking storage room; private barns are being utilized in many districts and many lots that were purchased for immediate shipment will be put away for winter delivery. We believe the fields will be cleaned much earlier than usual, and that we will have to draw from warehouse stocks shortly after the first of October. This will probably occasion a much earlier advance' in prices than was generally exoectrd, and a fairly strong' fall market can be reasonably anticipated. "Export trade continues without chanee In any way. no orders of any great size having been placed here for some time. Town trade is brisk, as la usual' this time of year, with 1 many large consumers filling their barns for winter." BRAN— $24 50(?25 50 per ten. 1 MIDDLINGS— $27®30 per ton. SHORTS— $24(525 per ton.

Aug. 19.— There was a fairly steady opening In wheat, due to reports of continued wet weather in the United Kingdom, and September opened a shade lower to a ehade higher at S0%@80%c. Local longs showed a disposition early in the day to buy back some of the wheat they .had sold out during the past few days and were encouraged in that by the action of cash houses, which bought freely of the September delivery. This demand resulted In a better tone during the first half hour, when September sold up to 61 %c. but later In the day reporU of good weather In the Northwest, together with a better field than had been expected, caused heavy liquidation and prices declined rapidly. A break of 2c In the price of the cash com modity at Minneapolis, heavy receipts at all primary points and light clearances added to the weakness and started a stampede to sell by local longs which resulted in September declining to 7!»%c. Covering by shorts during the last half-hour caused a sharp rally and the close was near the top, with September %G4c hirher at 81 Vic. There was some covering in corn early In the session on the firmness In wheat, and with light offerings the market became firmer. September closed a shade higher it lilVic. Oats were Independently strong throughout the entire day. September closed J4o higher at 344c. Provisions were without support and con tinued selling by longs forced prices to a lower level. Trading was dull the entire day. The close was weak, with September pork down 15c, lard was oft 74@10c, while ribs were down 5c. The leading futures ranged as fellows: Articles. Open. High. Low.

The selling was much concentrated, a single com mirel.-n houne disposing of many thousand shares during the day. The personality of thj firm and Its oast employment by one of the great financial groups caused considerable sig nificance to be attached to this selling.

The concentrated selling referred to largely converged on Amalgamated Copper an-1 Rock Island was a leader in the reaction. The low temperatures In the corn belt and the ne cessity of early warm weather to ln6ure. the crcp from frost were considerably dwelt upon. There was a considerable covering movement at the beginning of the last hour, but the tears made a iresn onslaught and forced a weak closing at the lowest of the day.

Figs were more plentiful than for some ' time, but moved off well at fairly steady prices. Nec tarines were offering again and met with prompt sale. Cantaloupes were in free supply and easy, while Nutmeg Melons were very firm In the morning, but weakened upon the receipt of freBh supplies later In the day.

Though there is more Butter on the market than last' week, the extra demand due to the O. A. R. Encampment keeps the market firm at the advanced prices. Cheese rules steady at the old quotations. Eggs are firm and somewhat higher, with moderate stock.
