supplied, as for some weeks past. Quo

Sheep and lambs were in Very scant
supply and there was no change from
the prices previously quoted.
Mich COW trade continued slow, with
| buyers few and not over anxious to
| buy. The market is unsatisfactory.
The WATERFOWL shippers an eX-
pertinent shipped their stock to
| Brighton, this week, but the wrecks
caused considerable delay in I'M
| loading, so that it was very late be-
| fore the stock was ready for buyers to
| inspect. The conditions this week were
! unfavOrable, but it is thought that
the change will be adventag eous later.

THE HORSE MARKET.
Boston, Feb. 1Sth-During last week
trade was exceptionally dull
Receipts were light the demand was
slack. the market tone weak, and
general encouragement is felt by horse
dealers. The movement of fresh com
mercias horses of good class is very
|
money, and high feed continue to be
the main hindrances to a good horse
trade, and business transactions are
limited to large degree. Good
drivers hold steady but the demand is
naturally little weaker at this season
OF the year. Secondhand horses, were
little less active last week. although
those sold brought fair prices, accord
Ing to value.
Quotations show little change Of note
Fresh, first class heavy drafts slow,
at se75@425; drafts. medium weight. at
s225 q 275; light commercials, for gen.
eral purposes, dull at $500 zoo: good |
to choice drivers. steady at $4,000 500, |
medium to good drivers, at SIPS a 200; |
secondhand horses sold around |
s1006150, horses of fairly good class |
bringing only the higher quotations;
shetland ponies we'll finished, are IN |
good demand, selling at $15Om35O.
