HORSE TRAFFIC.
a little stronger market was devel-
Oped during the past week, with re-
ports from some of the city stables of
excellent auction sales for commercial
horses, with prices slightly In advance
of those held in the preceding week.
Heavy draft horses sold we'll, and milk
team, delivery, expressers and gen
er1l purpose horses were more active
than for sevral weeks. Harness classes
were slow, with few first class, entries,
ali such bringing good values, ordinary
drivers, cobs, etc, were weak, with
the demand small.

1850 lbs. firm at $35O@s45O; fresh draft
ers, 1850 to 1850 lbs. at s250I$325; milk

$175@sz50; secondhand horses in light
supply, selling at 800 and upward, ac-
cording to condition and weight. First
