HORSE TRAFFIC.
With the opening of the spring sea-
son, the tone of the horse market is
stronger, and the slump during the
winter in the trade, is gradually re-
covering, although the business will
probably be up and down until BUSH
ness transactions in general are on a
frmer basis. Last weeks trade was
active The supply was the heaviest
for this year, but it was not in excess
of the demand There is diversity
of opinion amongst horse men on the
values of horses, but it is safe to say
that with the increased demand of the
past two weeks prices have advanced
somewhat on all classes. Horses Of all
classes were well represented at the
auction sales. Fresh drafterS of
weight are coming in more freely. the
past few weeks noting more 1900 to
1900 Id. horses on the market than
have been offered for long time.
Harness classes were quiet The in
quiry was broad but actual sales were
slow.

$500; light commercials, milk team.
