HORSES SEMITIC EUROPE.
The War Cloud Causes Great De-
mand for American Equines.

From the Baltimore Herald.
The time-honored phrase, 1T is an i'll
wind that blows nobody good" may he
very properly applied Just now TO the
threatened war in Europe.
The first beneficial results of the out
break to the American farmer are ap-
parent iU the great demand for horses
in the European pariieis. II is max
ing itself felt on this side already, and
almost every steamer which left here
for European ports during the past
week carried an equine contingent. In
Germany especially the demand Tor
horses suited for cavalry and artillery
purposes is unusually great.
The North German Lloyd steamer
Muench2n, which Will sail on Thurs
day next for Bremen, takes twenty
horses and thirty mules, all consigned
from Jasper, Ind, by one dealer, who
accompanies the animals to Germany.
where he will put them on sale. The
steamer Crefeld, which arrived at Bre-
men yesterday, had forty horses on
board for the German market. The
American farmers do not yet appear to
thoroughly appreciate the advantages
offered for the sale of horses in Europe,
hut it is probable, should a European
war break out, they will speedily rec
ognize the opportunities offered. and
then immense shipments of e1uines
may be looked for.
The average price for good strong
horse, suited for military uses in the
western states is about $40. The freight
on the animals per head to Baltimore
is something like $lh. They can he
shipped from here to Bremen for about
500, and a low price there is about
S1CO. The freight to Liverpool Is much
less, and in case England is embrOlled
in European war, ii is probable the
market for horses there will be very
high.
To those not acquainted with the
method of embarklng horses on Il
steamship the process is a very inter.
esting one, and may be witnessed at
the steamship piers at Locust Point
any day henceforward, as horses are
being shipped to Europe almost daily.
The stall in which the horse makes his
transatlantic journey is "A portable
iron cage-like structure. This is lifted
from the ship by a crane, and while
II rests ON the pier the equine is led
| into ii and secured firmly. Then the
stall is lifted back into the ship, and
placed in the position ii will occupy
until the steamer arrives at its desti-
nation. Then it is taken out by the
same process, and the eXpatriated
equine is permitted to prance about on
! foreign soil.
