THE HORSE MARKET.
Partly owing to the holiday break
last week, prices in the horses market
declined somewhat, some of the larger
sale stables reporting a break of $50
$40 per head, on the general run OF
sales, while at other auctions values
held firm, with little if any change in
values. Naturally the demand is less
active at the close of June, preceding
as it does the two dullest months in |
the year for horse trading. Heavy
drafters sold more readily than in the !
week, but general wagon |

in disposals. Carriage, combination |
and saddle horses moved briskly to |
an active demand with prices firm
