last week outside orders were we'll
supplied with all commercial classes
of horses. The special sale was fea-
tured with many specially finished
consignments and combination of
conditions tended to tone the general
trade from all quarters. The market
opens under ordinary conditions. with
nothing in the special quality Of the
oHerfngs or attendance of buyers to
promote unusual activity from any
source. With palmer offerings char
acterizing the trade in all business
classes, general trade is easier and
owing to lack OF quality average prices
are lower. Whenever an offering Of
good class was reported competition
was brisk and values held nominally
steady with the sales of a week ago
Plain kinds were down to the lowest
range of the year, with no prospect for
betterment until after the holidays.
Choice southerners, drafters, express
ers and wagon horses were fairly
steady under even demand from all
quarters, but plain arrivals Of all
classes were-dull and difficult to sell
at the following prices:
