head. This decline owing to the lin
tied demand Of the dullest month in tn
Iyear. does not include the sale of heaV!

from 100 to 1900 lbs. are extremely
l scarce, only a few being placed on I'M
l market, and these sell at once at hlsi
l. figures, one ordinary pair of I'D yr. OF
thorses clearing at 500.
