In 1895 5oeo horses were purchased, and the number of buyers was materially increased In 1896 there were upward of 90 buyers on the market, and 10000 horses were pur- chased and exported. The present seq son over 70 buyers are on the marlet.N
 The classes of horses purchased by the foreign buyers MF Bruette enumer- ates as first, coach horses and drivers; second, cab horses; third, bus horses; fourth, draft horses, and fifth, standard trotters.
 The growth in the eXportation of American horses has been uuPrece- dented. In five years time it has grown from nothing practically to mammoth proportions, with promises of even a greater growth if properly encouraged and protected, The bulk U the horses exported go to the na- tic S of Europe, and so come into di- rect competition with the horse breed CTS of the cid world The effect of this competition has been wall from the breeders of several of the European nations Germany has found it neces- sary in order to protects her own prod uct in the horse line to raise the cry of diseased horses against the import CTS as they do against our meats. They have increased the stringency of their quarantine. regulations until nothing but the absolutely perfect can pass them, and still the sale of American horses in Germany is increasing rap idly.
 Belgium breeders are also alarmed at the increase in the sales of AmetiF can horses, not only inSother nations of Europe, but in their own country as well. So long as the imported horses were of inferior classes they took but little notice of ii, but with the improve ment iR the class of horses, as well as the increase in aumbers, they began talking of measures of protection for themselves.

This was first noted ,at a time when the prices of horses in this country was so low that they were comparatively worthless. To realize profit from the business buyers began shipping their horses to Europe, where they were sold at most any price they would bring. But with Aa better market at home better horses .aweTe shipped abroad and better prices demanded, and to-day the American horse or the best class is a xeature of the London streets.

people that foreign governments, eSpe- cially France and Germany, have buy CTS in the American markets purchasing mounts for their cavalry and artillery. While this is not true, it is still fact that many American horses find their way into the military service not only in these two eoun tries, but in others as well. While the governments do not buy them direct, the foreign buyers in American markets sell them to the gov ernments whenever they have horses answering the various military re quirements, because they receive the best of prices. For cavalry and artil- lery horses abroad the price ranges from $18o to $280.
 As a guide for horse breeders and shippers the agricultural department has published a statement showing in a general way the character of the horses desired by each of the countries to which we sell horses, as indicated by the horses sent them:
 Great Britain-Ninety per cent, of the horses sent to this country are draft horses, about seven per cent. are high class eoaehers, and three per cent. trot- ting and light carriage horses.
 Germany-Ninety-hve per cent. of all the horses sent to Hamburg are draft horses weighing 1,5o0 pounds or up ward, the other five per cent. being made up of high-class carriage, run ming and trotting horses. Most of the latter are resbipped to Austria.
 France-About 85 per cent. of the horses exported to this country are what are termed cabbers. The other 15 per cent. are about equally divided be- tween draft horses and trotters.
 Belgium-About two per cent. of those sent to Antwerp are trotting or light buggy horses, 23 per cent. street
