The Horse Market.

Chicago, June 21.-OnIy moderate
run Of horses features recent offerings.
Receipts Monday were estimated at 500.
against $50 last Monday, $50 the same
date a year ago and s17 for the cor
responding period in 1908. The mar
ket exhibits all the usual features Of
summer dullness and falling prices,
when both country shippers and pro-
fessional dealers find it difficult to ex
perience any profit in the trade. De-
mand is largely speculative and outside
dealers are looking for bargains, and
general conditions are unfavorable for
active trading. A few prime extra
weight draft chunks were taken on
local account at $500 ESQ, but medium
and good draft classes moved slowly
around s170Q225. Expressers are off
s10G20 as compared with high spring
prices Drivers are in fair request at
s1509300, with bulk Of sales around
s1751225. Big feeders are fairly steady
at s170@225 and upward. The market
is slow, with the offerings going at the
following auction prices.

Cheap Fares In Re.oIum.

Passenger tariffs on Belgian rail
roads are very low. and the passenger
service is generally very good. It Is
not as rapid as the French service. but
1t is cheaper. These rates show the
influence Of the politicians.
For instance. tickets are on sale
which for small price give the right
to ride anywhere as often as you like
for five days on any Of the state lines,
A third-class ticket of that sort, good
anywhere any time for five days, costs
only II francs i've confines, which Is
Just fraction under 1920 in Amert-
can money.
Lightweight per cent Of all the pas.
senger tickets Issued are sold at one
sort or another of reduced rates.
Among other curious instances show.
Ing the fine hand of the small politi.
clan We find that tickets are sold to
electors to go to their voting places
at less than half price.-Moody's Maya
