HoRsES-Reccipts Of horses started the week
very heavy, but the number is not continuing
uuits as large, and comparison OF receipts
~ the first two days shows slight deficiency.
The feature OF the market is vigorously ac-
tive movement. which is generated ty re-
marlsahIy nesvy demand from the South for
sinooth, shapely little horses and mares. The
Eastern trade. in sympathy with the general
market is also very active on all good chunks
that are available. The very lively movement
IS accompanied by stronger tone. nnd values
are on a slightly higher basis than last week
on all desirable kinds.

MULES-Mue receipts for the first two days
Of the week approximate 1.Js) head. OF this
total, loo head have been offered the com
mission market. the balance going to dealers.
Tuesdays receipts were comparatively lgnt,
but there We're still about ESQ head on tho COM
mission market. Trade yesterday was on
pretty active basis. and about steady, hut the
early Tuesday business quiet, fact
which was accounted for BY dealers being very
busy selling mules to Southern purchasers.
Commission saesmen expect the afternoon
tarde TO be more active. Prices so far
steady, although buyers have tried to shade
them a little. Good fat cotton mules are in
streng demand, and not enough Of them are
coming.
