of business was transacted during last

seasoned heavy drafters were in quick
demand and sold at firm prices with sales
easily closed. Expressers and all wagon
horses were quiet, although the demand
from the local buyers was a little better
than in the preceding week. All horses
of ordinary quality sold slowly to a poor
demand. Harness classes We're quiet with
few high priced horses offered. For these
satisfactory, with it's lack of snow and
no sleighing to give the trade an I'M
petus A fair amount of ordinary and
medium horses change hands weekly and
all fancy horses find a market reacily
enough, but the general sales are slow.
