THE HORSE TRAFFIC.
A better feeling was prevalent in the
horse trade during the week. Supplies
were heavy, but the demand was good
for all horses of quality, and the drop
in values OF the preceding week was
recovered. An excellent supply of draft
horses were among the consignmcnts.
and dealers whose speciality is in this
class, reported the trade brisk, with
the Gales on paying basis A large
Amount Of horses were shipped to the
lumber districts. in answer to an ur-
gent demand for rugged horses suita-
bic for this industry. Harness classes
were dull, for all but high class horses.
and while the prices on we'll finished
driving and coach horses remains firm,
the ordinary family driver was selling
at rather lower figures. The best, fresh
draft horses sold strong at S35GIsts0;
medium weight drafters al $zaG0$390;
milk tenn, expressers, delivery and
general public horses at s!25G$250:
chunks at 500 and upward. High class
driving and comhinatior horses at $500
