WANT GOOD HORSES.

GSSI buSIflSSS 0FdQGSs
Chicago, July 26.--Dealers report a
good Inquiry for all Of the top grades,
the demand for best drafters, chunks
and expressers ruling quite active thus
far this week at strong prices, but
continued dullness and Indifference in
demand features the trade in palmer
classes and the latter move slowly
both at auction and private sales, while
prices fail to show recovery from the
low point at the close last week, when
the range stood 5000 under that in
force here ten days ago.
Eastern operators are small buyers
CT any but the well finished business
animals, and while these go freely the
dealers are forced to depend largely
on local demand to effect clearance
Of the plain and common classes. Re-
ceipts in the first two days this week
have totaled 1,027 head, allowing for
an estimate of 800 yesterday, and this
total stands but nine head under mar
keting here one week ago, while an
increase of 400 is noted in comparison
with the arrivals in the same two days
a year ago. This liberal volume of
summer marketing is above all actual
requirements of the trade, and the
generally plain quality of most arriv-
ais is regretted by the dealers, who
anticipate little bettermeft in the
market until the supplies are more
within buyers needs and the eastern
situation gives promise of broadening
out more satisfactorily. Auction sales
yesterday were made on the following
basis.
