Horses-Another liberal supply OF horses
arrived for the regular sale of the Blair
Baker Horse Company, there being about
$50 head, against 500 last week and $50 the
same week a year ago. There were not as
many good horses represented as in the in
itial sale of the week, and, therefore. the
quality was less satisfactory. This also
had a tendency TO retard the bidding 10
some extent, and the market did not APP
pear as lively as on Tuesday. However, il
required all of the supply to complete the
liberal orders held by buyers, and any
change in prices compared with the initial
sale of the week was due TO the difference
in quality as much as TO any other cause.
In fact. the market was just about as ac-
tive as at any time recently for any horse
that had an occupation, and sales We're sat
isfactOry to shippers. The demand con-
tinues largely from Eastern points, but all
buyers were on the market. Sales of light
drivers and coach horses ranged from SIS TO
$3.50, heavy horses sold from $50 to 5000,
chunks from $50 to $lS5 and smaller horses
as low as $40.

$50. The receipts to-day of cattle were
about 80 larger than a week ago and show
little change compared with a year ago.
The arrivals were principally mixed lots
on the butcher order, and there were hardly
enough cattle in the steer department to
establish a range in prices for any grade
or show the true conditions existing. About
the usual number of buyers were on the
market, but there seemed TO be quite a
falling of in the urgent orders that char
acterized the trade a few days since, and
the market opened with the bidding gen.
orally lower. Statesmen were not inclined to
make any concessions in prices of the strict
ly desirable stock. and finally succeeded in
disposing OF most of those that answered
that description at steady prices. In a gen.
eral way. however. the market was lower,
and sales probably were nearly 25c below
those current last Friday. A very fair
clearance was finally made. Steers sold as
