tear down sll the industries Of the State

ing came the decline in all other lines OF

for existence. All the wheat that will
be shipped ont of Nevada during the
present rise in that commodity will not
compensate for the closing down Of one
mine in the Ststs in the number of per-

know this, and while they gl~eefully pub
lish the fact that q carriage factory
started up in Ohio and employed three
hundred men, not one word or line sp-
pesred in their columns announcing the
closing down Of the great Ontario and
Daily mines in Park City, Utah, though

Yet they call adherents Of silver pessi-

THINKS ANDREE WILL RETURN

J.. Scott Kettle. President Of the Royal
Geographical Society of Great Britain,
believes that Andrse will yet be heard
from. He characterizes the statement
that Andree's balloon was seen floating in
the White Sea as "rot," and has great
doubts abaut the pigeons which have been
found ~ being any that were liberated
by Andrse. He claims that Andree said
before he started that ID might be fully
two years before he would be heard from
and that the explorer had carefully con-
sidsrsd eli the risks, hsrdships and draw.
backs that he would probably encounter.
II the balloon landed on the north coast
Of Alaska or in Siberia, ii would necesss.
rily be months before he could reach .
point from which he could communicate
with the world.

PRICES PREVAILING.
The Demand for Horses and Mules
Ia Wow nm the increase.

The Demand for Horses and Mules
Is Now ON the Increase.
From the g. +. Chronicle Of August 21.l
The condition of the horse market,
which has during the past few years been
extremely poor. has Of late improved con-
sidersbly, and the demand for horses and
mules lie gradually increasing. During
the last five or ten years the demand for
horses gradually declined. This has been
due TO the introduction Of steam plows.
bicycles and cable and trolley cars in
commercial branches in which horses and
mules were formerly considered absolute.
ly necessary.
The change for the better has been
rather sudden. Local buyers and trad
ers returning from their annual purchas-
ing trips through the interior Of the State
report an almost in~surmountable Diff
Guilty in obtaining horses and mules, even
at fancy prices. The market seems to
have gone short entirely, and good horses
aud mules can be had only in very small
lots and for prices which would have
turned buyers away in disgust q year
ago.
Horses weighing over 1000 pounds can
not be bought now for less than $50,
and the best of this weight run % high
as 500. which sum was recently paid in
Sonoma county by the local draying firm
Of Gavin & McNsb for good horses. Hor.
ses weighing from 1000 to 1900 pounds
cannot be bought for less than s75. and
mere frequently command SIPS. A band
Of mules ranging from 8 to 6 years was
sold lately in the San Joaquin valley for
an average price Of $50, and this notwith.
standing that fourteen Of the band were
too young for regular work.
The advance in price is attributed by
dealers to the fact that farmers and
ranchers have given up horse-raising IS
improbable. The breeding Of cheap
stock-horses weighing under 1000
pounds-has almost ceased. These ami
mails do not bring more than S25 per
head, and for this no one can afford to
raise them.
Carriage and dray horses Of the best
grade are in constant demand in this city
at present. Sales which have been al
most impossible for years have recently
been made, and considerable stock 10
changing hands. A fair carriage team
sold the other day for 1915, and this was
considered a sacrifice.
The increase in the demand for mules
is to q considerable extent due to calls
made by the buyers Of Honolulu. With
in the past few months between 500 and
1000 head have been shipped to the
islands, and in addition to this the San
joaquin demand has also been brisk.
The indications are that the farmer or
rsncher who starts in to raise horses now
may find il profitable. The market 10
not extremely short Of present, but il 10
growing shorter every year. Efforts TO
replenish il have apparently ceased. and
that means that prices may continue to
advance.
