HORSE PRICES HIGH.
Foreign Orders of Increased Proper

Foreign Orders of Increased Proper
tions for All Export Glasses.
Chicago, April 21.-It is the consen-
sus of dealers generally that horse
prices are high. Country shippers re-
port that the same weight and quail
ity Of animals are quotably higher in
the country than last season, while
eastern dealers say that values In
wholesale markets are above the quo
tations reported twelve months ago.
The increased value is induced by a
short supply and general national
prosperity which requires more horses
for industrial use. There has been no
boom in values, but a small con-
sentative gain incident to broader de-
mand. Drafters in particular have ruled
active since the opening of the spring
trade and prices have held firm to UNI
evenly higher than last season at SITS
OPS and upward. Demand for heavy
business horses has been strong dur
ing the past twelve months and the
outlook is encouraging for steady
prices for good to choice heavy horses
for some time. Big feeders are in
steady demand at $15O@200. Foreign
orders are of increased proportions for
bussers, trammers and harness horses
at higher prices than exporters have
ever paid for similar classes. General
trade for the week is nominally steady
at the following prices:

"The local dealers will get all the
eggs they want this week. said a
prominent farmer this morning" There
