TIE HORSE MARKET. Horse own
ers and horse buyers hereabouts
should read the following from the
New York Commercial Advertiser, on
the horse market East. The authori-
ty is good:
"Never in the history of the horse
has the market been so dull or the
prices so low as at the present time.
Sound road horses, without speed,
that were formerly bringing $500,
will not now fetch over $3.50; .rot-
tiers that can show 2;40, and that
lately brought from 1000 to $4,000,
can now be bought for from $500 to
$1,000; while 800 and $3.50 horses,
that, short time since, $500 and
$500 was thought to be low for, are
hard sale at from $3.50 to $500.
