THE HORSE TRAFFIC.
Trade in general was little ,luet.
All good horses are selling at high
prices but for the ordinary horse the
market is slow. and values low There
vas an excellent demand for heavy
draft horses, weighing from 110a to 1900
lbs. hut there are not enough OF such
horses obtainable to satisfy The de
nand. Western prices on such horses
are at the highest point for Years
with the market good for all desirable
horses, and values here are CORE
spondently high. The demand for l400
to 1900 pound commercial horses has
fallen off and the range of prices was
lower. large supply of second hand
horses were shipped from the beaches
ordinary type and thin from hard
work. There is no active demand Tor
such horses about the city. and they
are resold to the country at low fig
ures. Harness classes were In active
demand for all good horses, and fair
values We're obtained, but the supply
was limited.

mated horses last week. but prices on
all but the best horses averaged It

Press and one freight loads of fresh
