FAIR PRICE FOR
HORSES SHOWN
RUN OF CoMMoNER AMI
MAILS AT YESTERDAYS SALE
MARKET TENDS LOWER.

The horse sale held yesterday at
the sales barns on the South Side
was conspicuous by the large mum.
Der of horses that we're put on the
market. The attendance Of horse
buyers was about the same as at the
sale two weeks previous and while a
great many horses changed hands the
tendency of the market was down
ward.
The management were surprised at
the quantity of animals offered for
sale as the number exceeded expecta-
lions by seventy-1ve head, there be-
ing two hundred horses put on the
market. A large per cent of these
were the commoner kind and the
prices we're low. This can readily be
accounted for as the Chicago and
eastern markets are all showing a.
downward drag and the demand for
the common horse Is not good.
Good Horse Flesh.
The better quality Of horse flesh
was well taken care Of by the buy
ers, being readily snapped at and
brought good prices when taken into
the ring for sale and inspection. This
market has always been good on the
better grade of horses notwithstand-
ing the state of the eastern markets
and good demand for them always
exists in the east The best prices
paid at yesterdays sale was for
draft horse, which brought s26250.
Two others sold for $3.50 each.
Taken as whole the grade Of
horses shown was on an average low
er than that Of the previous sale. The
sales from now on are expected to
be much larger. A greater number
of horses will be on hand and ar
engagements are being completed to
handle a large business during the
coming months The next sale will
be special and notice of it will appear
later.
