   Compared to last week, light supplies and buyer attendance as the plain
community observed St. Michaels Day. All varieties of hay and straw sold mostly 
steady on a light test and limited comparable receipts. Demand moderate. All 
prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile local delivery is typically 
provided. Prices reflect various size loads of hay. Prices are per ton.
