_Linseed meal._--Northwestern linseed meal mills reduced their prices somewhat during the week, but the decline was not reflected in all the markets. Philadelphia reports a slight advance in prices, but quotations at Buffalo and Chicago were lower. Stocks are rather heavy and jobbers are pressing sales. There is only a very light demand and resellers are offering meal at $2 to $3 under mill prices in an effort to stimulate sales. GLUTEN FEED DEMAND DULL. _Gluten feed._--No further reductions in the price of gluten feed were reported during the week, but the demand was very dull and very little interest was shown by buyers. Large Chicago manufacturers reported a slight increase in buying orders toward the last of the week. Buffalo reported a light demand, but mills are not pressing sales as they were a few days ago. _Hominy feed._--Lower corn prices were reflected in the hominy feed market. Prices declined 50¢ to $1 in several markets and mills were urgent sellers. The demand for all other feeds is very light so that a surplus in the offerings, especially of yellow hominy feed, is noticeable. _Alfalfa meal._--Alfalfa meal at Kansas City was weak and lower, No. 1 meal being offered as low as $17.20 per ton and No. 2 at $14. The demand from both feeders and feed manufacturers is light. But little improvement in the market for this feed can be expected until some activity appears in the demand for other feeds. _Peanut meal._--No offerings of new crop peanut meal have been reported, and it is stated that probably none will be offered until about Nov. 1. DEMAND FOR CUT HAY ALMOST A THING OF THE PAST. General Use of Automobiles and Electric Street Cars Cuts Sales--Was Used Mostly in Cities. The demand for cut, or chopped, hay has diminished to such an extent during the past decade that at present only an occasional car is bought by city dealers while only a few shippers prepare this commodity for market. But back in the days when phaetons, surreys, and smart traps drawn by high-stepping trotters and easy-going “family” horses were seen upon the boulevards, and the heavy hauling was done by big draft horses rather than by gasoline-eating trucks, many city dealers operated plants for the preparation and baling of cut hay. Numerous plants also were situated in the producing sections of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. The advent of the automobile, however, has changed all this, aided materially by the substitution of electricity for mule power as the propelling force of street cars. The kinds of hay usually chopped were timothy and clover mixed. While hay which had become slightly overripe or which contained a mixture of grasses frequently was used, only good, sound, and sweet feeding hay was considered fit for shipping. FED MIXED WITH GRAIN.
