MULES-The weeks trade in mules has been
very active. Conditions at the outset were
very favorable, and the advices which went
out in tho country brought in a large supply.
in fact the largest supply of the season thus
South which was displayed last week was con-
tinued In good degree during tbs week. and
they were anxious to buy more of them. The
chief inquiry was for good fat cotton mules
OF all sizes, and these sold as quickly buy
ers could get to them. The only trouble was
that they composed quite small percentage
OF the receipts. Many OF the offerings were me-
dunn to good cotton mules, which sold fairly
well in keeping with the active demand for
the choicer grades The market was strong
and some sellers quoted It shade higher. but
1t was thoroughly satisfactory throughout ex-
cept on the commonest grades of mules which
we're not wanted. There was very little de-
mand for big mules.
