HORSES SHIPPED TO EUROPE.
Great Numbers Sent Over For Army, Farm
and Other Purposes.


and other Purposes.
Something near 100, 900 horses
are shipped from this port every
year." declared a prominent horse
dealer in this city recently.
''They go to all parts of the world
and are used for all manner of pur-
poses. Some of them go to drag
artillery in the German army, some
to carry cuirassiers in the French
others go to draw the numbering
London bus, and others again to
serve the purposes of draft horses
on the farms of all the countries of
Europe.
While the 1c0,0 900 figure at which
this dealer set tho export business
was considered too high by several
other men in the trade who were
visited by the reporter, they all said
that from 1000 to 3, 900 a month was
certainly not too high, and that
some months when business was ur-
usually brisk the number might we'll
reach 1000.
"Tle trade has been wonderfully
livelysince the trolley cars began to
comelin, " said another man who is
up 70 date in the horse world.
"WIen the horse cars were super
sedtd by trolleys and cable lines,
thqmarket was flooded with horses
ofthat sort. They were very cheap,
AMI the demand for them in this
country was not very large. AS a
consequence hundreds of them were
dipped abroad. l believe that fully
3 600 horses have been shipped from
this port within the last month. The
majority are draft horses, but there
are also numerous roadsters and sad
die horses.
Many of the London bus and
cab horses come from here. They
are bought up by dealers in big
patches and sent over. While good
many of these horses probably find
their way into the German army,
am not aware that there is any spe-
cial trade in that direction, or that
there are any dealers who make it a
separate branch of their business to
purchase horses for that purpose.
Il know horse dealers who are al
ways on the lookout for animals
which will serve as heavy draft
horses for London brewery wagon:
and furniture removal trucks, bur
don't know of any demand Just nov
for the German army.
Besides these horses, ;" continue,
the speaker, I'VE get hundreds from
Canada. There is a great demand
in some quarters for Canadian
horses, and they help very material
ly to swell the numbers exported an
nually."
Sometimes as many as 700 horse
will go in ono cargo, and from til
point of arrival in the old world vii
be scattered throughout all the coun
tries of Europe and used for ever,
purpose conceivable. - New Yorl
