THE. HORSE MARKET.
| On account of the holiday week, the
horse market showed falling off in
sales last week. Some of the auction
sales were not held at all. July and
August are considered the two most
| dull months in horse trading, but con-
sidering this fact the market holds
surprisingly strong. Prices on horses
are about the same as in the preced-
| ing week The demand is good but
| the supply light. Dealers report
great call for Shetland ponies since
the exodus of the bicycle. Shetlands
| if well broken for chldren's using from
$3.50 to S215 and they would be without
doubt a profitable business, back IN
the country when feed is in plenty, to
raise them for the market, Where the
demand is increasing.
Saddle horses and good driving
horses are bringing excellent prices.
