improved during the past ten years by
the introduction of better breeds. Prices
at present are depressed, owing to the
supply being greater than the demand.
A great deal of work heretofore per-
formed by horses is now done by rail-
roads and machinery, which is no doubt
another cause of this depression. Mules

year, and the demand is somewhat better
than for horses, as is also prices, while

equal to the demand.
