THE HORSE TRAFFIC.
Boston, Mass, Sept. 6.-Supplies of
horses were light about the city. but
the market was even. horses selling
at steady values as have ruled during
the past few weeks. All commercial
horses weighing 1450 lbs. and upward
are easily disposed Of both in the
fresh arrivals and in the second
hand horses. and are selling at as high
values at the present time as at any
season during the year. The country
trade continues brisk. and the local
sales are moderately active. Light
horses are dull, there being little call
for delivery horses and other light
purposes. Harness classes are quiet
and few high class horses are to be
found. and for the medium class driv-
ing horses the bids are slow and prices
are lower.
The best heavy draft horses. sold
at $3506D475; medium weight drafters,
at $250T35O; delivery and general pur-
pose horses at s135@25O: coach horses.
