RETAIL HORSE ORDERS.
mercaI Kinds at Private
Sale

Chicago, April 3.-Receipts show
decline for the first half Of the current
week of S29 horses as compared with
the first half of last week, and 25S as
contrasted with like period year ago.
The trade gives evidence that the big
market runs or horses are over for the
year and future receipts will be of
much lighter volume. A prominent
feature of the market is the unusually
large volume of rural orders that are
being executed at private sale, retail
selling being of proportions to clear
many entire consienments. Leading
demand concentrates on farm chunks
at $125@150, with top offerings moving
at S160@115. Liberal orders for the
southern trade clear all the small
chunks at S60@115, with fair inquiry
for drivers on southern account at
$150@225. Big drafters sell more
freely on the basis of the new scale
OF prices at s175m225, with finished
fod lots at s250@275 and upward, ac-
cording to weight and quality. The
neavy receipts find free clearance at
the following unchanged prices:
