The great cities of the world use uL
an enoromous number of horses every
year, and these must constantly be re.
supplied by horses from the country
or from foreign parts 1t is stated that
in the suburbs of London alone there
are 100000 horses in use, and that 1O0,-
600 horses must every year be sent into
these suburbs to take the place of those
worn out. The city of Berlin takes
100000 new horses every year. A large
number of the horses used in omnibuses
and on tram lines, both in England and
on the continent, are imported from the
United States. The horses from the
United States are shipped from the
ports of New York md Boston to the
ports of London, Liverpool and Glas
gov, and quite large number are
transhipped at London for the ports
of Antwerp and Havre. The ocean rates
on horses from New York and Boston
are from five to six pounds per head
including feed and attendance, insur.
ance for the voyage and for ten days
after landing, and dock charges.-Ion.
