M~ULES-The opening of the week in the mule
market was decidedly quiet. Outside OF three or
four loads reported to the dealers. there were not
more than a couple OF loads which were on the
commission market, and the shortness of re-
ceipts did not prove conducive to activity. An
other reason for the delayed movement was the
fac. that dealers have been selling fewer mules
OF late to the general demand. and consequently
fest as good a tone as a couple OF weeks ago. and
the outlook is not as encouraging. Very small
demands are In force from the South and from
farming districts. while within the last ten DAYS
the Eastern demand, which for weeks has been
the nainstay OF the market. has ruled smaller
and less AGGRESSIVE. This change, however. has
not worked disaGvantageously to big mules as
concern prices. because big mules OF the proper
quality are scarce, but II Is having the effect
OF formulating a slower movement.
