baltimore Horse and Mule Market.
The horse and mule market Of this
city is and has tor several months past
been very quiet, and the dealers do not
now anticipate any change until after the
holidays. The stock Of horses on hand
ut the present time is not only large, but
The animals are Of better grade than
usual for this season Of the year. The
arrivals are few, consisting II inly Of
small lots from Pennsylvania and West
Virginia. The stables where auctions
arc held are filled with q large stock oil
poor horses, and but few good animals
are offered for sale. There Is but little OF
no demand for carriage or buggy horses
at this season OF the year, and Consc
quenty there arc but few offered for sale
Horses Of this class bring from 5000 to
$500 each, according TO style, age and
soundness. The driving season being
over for this year there are but few road
sters offered for sale. No scale oil prices
can be given for such animals, as theil
value is a thing that is 10 be determined
between the buyer and seller. First class
horses for general purposes bring from
5000 10 $500 per head, and common work
horses are valued at whatever they will
bring at public sale; the prices vary great.
ly and can only be given when the points
OF the animal in question arc known
There are no heavy draft horses for sale
The mule market is even duller than the
horse market, but for good animals higher
prices are found. Mules OF medium size
and sound bring from $3.50 10 $500 pei
span. For very large mules $3.50 to $l0C
per span can easily be obtained.-Bali,

for everything they consume, There is
one merchant who tells mo that be has
outstanding accounts TO the amount Of
$4,000, and that some OF his customers
have been in his debt for upward Of three
years. In order 10 carry on business he
is Of course obliged to charge four prices
for everything, Even in the smallest
transactions credit is demanded. The
other evening leading gentleman Of thii
place invited me TO have on oyster stew
We went into restaurant and after thC
oysters had been eaten the waiter brought
my companion check on which was
written, II promise to pay Younge sixty
cents" This was signed, and VIC walked
out without word. After drinking q
glass OF beer the same scene was reneaied
How this is TO end no one appears "a
