are d. appointed in their expectations o. meeting with
erea. bargains in horse hesb. We never meant to
be unders.cod that verdan, gentlemen would ind bay
horses in front of every bro znstone house r sse az
bankrupt prices In fact, all the occ1psrts OF suca
kou,es are no. bankrupt, nor Obliged TO sell their
hor-es. We Gid say that good msny gentlemen hsi
old gle horses and fine pairs at less than half their
ss'sbe value moi tbs ago. and we do say that such
resi- bargains eccasi ,nslly 10 be had sod We do
say that there general depression and dizziness in
that psrt Of Twenty fourth street, known the horse
mMket, and that very little is doing, because very lit
lie Be done upon the present small stock in market
We guess there was net over 80 horses all told in all
the stables, the last lime We looked through them,
where We have often over 600. The sable
keepers all say tina. horsss would sell if they were
here but of Ina. we saw very little prospect since we
OILY tsw in the two hours that there but two
Buyers. Ore Of these wanted a good roadster for
buggy, and bought hin, yssrs DID, near 10 haed,
high sound and handsome, at $50.
The other wanted good teamwork horse, and We
heard several priced as follows:

high and u,t 10 years old, at ss5said to have co.t
$500 year ago, and not injured by service.

G. fancy pair Of horses held at 81 200, are offered
at Al ,OOO and probably 5000 would not be refused.
The horses now in the street have been purchased
at too high figure TO sell at general reduction of
25 to 80 per cent and they mostly in the hands
Of men who make hor.etradng business it is not 20
be expected that they will sell willingly at loss hence
the difficulty that people experience who expect to
find hoIses in the regular maiketstabes at very low
rates. Sill farmers do fir good bargains occasionally
at private SALE and often at auction friend Of

bought there for $40.
SALES AT AUCTION.
The usual number Of about ten were offered on
Monday at Crosby street TO numerous audience, a
good many Of whom were from the country and in
want ohorses bu' apparently afraid to buy, simply be-
cause they were sell ng at such low prices; thinking
