caused the demand for fresh heavy
drafters to drop off slightly during the

firm at previous quotations. The sup
ply was heavy and although the
amount of green horses received is
smaller than last year the deficiency Is
more than made up in the greatly IN
creased entries of secondhand horses.
Secondhand horses were in excellent
demand throughout the week with
some extra good horses turned IN 1or
immediate sale. Last week developed
the best trade of the season tor mar
ness classes. Specially brisk was tne
demand for safe family drivers THOR
oughly seasoned for the country trade.

The market for mich COWS received
an impetus from the warmer weather
and better pasturage, and the move

noticeable that there were less OF the
high grade mixers on sale than usual,
but those offered sold at good values.
