Hay and Fecdntnffi * Rolled barley and rolled oats '. have again ad vanced. Hay : has also risen again, and all grades are Una except poor, which is not wanted. Sev eral cars of choice wheat have sold at $17 dur ing the past day or two. Somers & Co. say: v o Receipts of hay for the week amounted to 3.91 1 tons, and." although this quantity Is ; not quite as much as we have been receiving •of late, yet it is sufficiently heavy to have caused some congestion here" were it not for > the : fact that the local demand bax improved somewhat. A few of the larger consumers are, commencing to fill their lofts, which has L enabled: heavy re r<>iT<ys to take care of any surplus which might have been received. ' ■ " "The general range of local prices is much firmer, and on some grades the market can- be quoted higher. This is especially true of fancy wheat and tame oat hay. of which very- little is arriving at present, practically all of, this class of hay which was purchased being directed to storage for later i use. ■ " ~ ■ "Although the season is late ' this - year, yet the harvest is progressing very rapidly, one rea son being that in practically, every hay . section the crop has not yielded heavily, and. , as a" re sult, the crop is short and at this comparatively early date the fields are rapidly - being ' cleaned up, the hay either being,shipped away or stored in warehouses. If the movement continues as rapidly as it has during the past. month," it ;Is quite probable that hay will be shipped '■'-. from warehouses before the fall rains, providing these rales come at the normal time. . "Alfalfa is * moving somewhat more rapidly than previously, although there is not the ■> de mand foe same that usually exists at this time of the year, principally on account of the fact that clover hay can be purchased at -, so much lower prices, and which the dairy ■ men are using quite generally wherever it is available." , Bran—s29@29 per ton.

THREE LINERS ARE DUE THIS MORNING America Maru, Aoranji and City of Para Are Expected to Arrive tion offlciaU at this port are going to be up early this morning and are prepared to be busy all day. If the story told by the wireless comes true laylight will find the Japanese liner America Maru at mchor off quaran tine. The liner Aorangi from Wel lington, New Zea land, was not ex pected until tomor row, but, according to an aerogram received yesterday from Captain Evans, it will arrive early this morning, probably close on the heels of the America Maru. Still another wireless announced the approach of the Pacific Mail liner City of Para. At noon yesterday the Para, homeward bound from Balboa direct, was 275 miles south of the Golden Gate and will arrive early this afternoon. The America Maru has only nine cabin passengers, but is bringing more than 100 Asiatics. It is believed that most of these Asiatics are Japanese picture brides. The America also has a valuable cargo, which includes a large shipment of raw silk for New York. The Aorangi is bridging a full com plement of passengers from the antipo des and freight from New Zealand and Tahiti. Good Excnaeß Required The secretary of commerce and labor is aroused at the frequent applications for mitigation of penalties incurred by licensed officers in navigating on ex pire,! licenses. In a recent circular he quotes section 4438, revised statutes, as follows: "It shall be unlawful to employ any person or for any person to serve as master, chief mate, engineer or pilot of any steamer, or as master of any sail vessel of over 700 gross tons, or of any other vessel of over 100 gross tons carrying passengers for hire, who is not licensed by the inspectors; and any one violating this section shall be liable to a penalty of $100 for each offense." He warns owners and agents of ves sels and licensed officers that leniency hereafter will not be extended unless it is satisfactorily shown that such violations are not the result of indif ference or neglect on the part of either owners or officers. The secretary says that violations of this character are becoming more frequent; and, in appeals for mitiga tion or remission of penalties, the licensed officers offer as an excuse or explanation that they did not know their licenses haJ expired, or that they had forgotten to have licenses renewed, or that they were mistaken as to the date of expiration, and owners offer the excuse that they have no knowl edge of the life of the license, or that as long as they are assured that the officer has a valid license when they engage him their responsibility ends, or that they can not be expected to know when a license expires, etc. The secretary continues: "There is no reason why an officer should not renew his license upon its expiration and why owners should not be kept informed of the status of their officers, as every license issued states on its face the character of the license and that it is issued for a term of five years." and, therefore, all concerned are notified that hereafter no leniency may be expected when officers fail to have their licenses renewed. Buford to Be Laid Ip The army transport Buford. which arriveJ Tuesday from Manila, will not make another trip across the Pacific for some time unless something un foreseen happens. The Buford is an extra ship and made the trip to Ma nila In place of the Logan, wtoleh was held here to help bring from the south the troops that had been stationed on the Mexican border. The Buford will be hauled nut to an anchorage in the stream as soon as its freight and stores have been discharged. The Logan is Just off the Mare Island navy yard drydock, where It was placed the other day to be scraped and painted. The Logan will sail September 5 for Manila.
