The Demand for Horses.

According to the New York Herald,
which keeps in close touch with the
market conditions of horses in the me.
tropols, the present status OF the mar
ket is decidedly encouraging to horse
breeders. One of the officials of the
largest horse sale company in the world
told the Herald that the increase Of
business with that firm during the year
Just closed has been 25 per cent, and in
answer to a question regarding the fu-
ture he said: "What do l think of the
outlook? Well, l believe that business
will make greater gains this year than
last. We fiud that nearly everybody
who buys work horses is feeling better
now than year ago, and Iexpect to sell
a great many more horses. will say
also that l believe prices for all good
horses will be higher than ever, especial
ly for big rugged draughters of weight
and quality. There was time when
thought that draught horse values would
have to drop, but 1t looks the other way
now. The development Of the country
is going ahead at rate that the breed
ers of big horses cannot keep up with,
and so long as this continues prices
must continue to climb" Contracts for
1, 200 horses are now on the books OF the
com pany referred to. Contractors,
truckmen and brewers are the principal
buyers, though the largest order to be
filled is for one of the big express com.
panies. This firm is selling at present
100 or 800 horses week In their auc.
tions, an almost unprecedented run OF
offerings for the end of tho year. Sec
ond-hand work horses invariably sell 30
we'll in these auctions that 90 per cent
of the customers of the firm no longer
think of trading in old horses when buy
ing fresh ones at private sale. Instead
of doing this, they nowadays send their
swappers to the auctions and turn them
into money on making their purchases
of new stock. Another New York firm
which not only sells horses, but which
is probably the largest holder OF car.
riaees in the United States, stated
through ono Of its representatives that
their trade in pleasure vehicles bad been
at least 25 per cent better in 1909 than In
1905, while their private sales OF horses
had made still greater gains last year.
A member of this firm said that station
rockaways and light carriages such as
runabouts, surreys and other vehicles
which the owner drives were the best
sellers, though Of late there has been
distinct improvement In the demand for
brouehams and victorias, and he is con-
fident of still better showing for the
new year in the carriage trade. Such
indisputable facts as these men are
oualified to make public show better
than anything else constantly improving
conditions surrounding the horse breed
ing industry.

Portland Union Stockyards. Stock
sale, Jan. 21.--A new high record
nat gladdened the hearts of shippers
was made in the Stockdale yards to-
day when sale-ln fact several
sales out Of the same lot of cattle
were made at $3.50 or 15c above the
extreme high point reached for steers

EXCELLENT Tone ut Present, However.
Despite all fear for the immediate
future. however. there is a most ex-
sellent tone in the cattle market at
this time Stockdale prices are
climbing to their highest point and
predictions OF SO for steers during the
present season are now being freely
made % ~
On the basis OF sales being made in
the market for bulls, steers should be
selling even higher than today's rec
ord providing the quality Offering
was sufficiently good to bring the
advance. Several sales of bulls were
made in the yards during the day
around 1915. This really means
i75 for cows of equal quality and
1915 for steers of the same select
grade.
Quite a fair run of cattle was shown
in the yards during the day but this
did not in any way affect the demand
nor the price. Total arrivals OF cat
lie for the day were 4SS head.
Because OF the severe drop in swine
values in the east-due to the deter
mination OF labor unions there TO cut
meat off their bill OF fare for the Pc
Rad OF so days-local hog prices are
materially easier and buyers are not

There was n sprinkling Of sheep in

IMPERIALISTS PLEASED
AT PROPOSED WEDDING

Paris.-French Imperialists hail
with unfeigned delight the announce
ment that Prince Victor Napoleon
and the Princess Clementine of Bel
GUM are soon to wed, now that the
old King Leopold is dead and can no
longer interpose his objections to the
union. Prince Victor is the head of
the house of Bonaparte. three times
hurled from the throne of France.
He is the grandson of Jerome Bona
parte, king of Westphalla and broth
er of Napoleon, and is a nephew Of
King Victor Emanuel of Italy. He
Is the son of that Bonaparte famil-
iarly known as Plon-Plon, who was
French prince during the reign of Ma
poleon the Third. 1t is believed here
that Prince Victor's marriage with
Clementine, great-granddaught of
Louis Philippe, will add strength to
the imperialistic cause. The marriage
OF Prince Victor and Princess Clem,
entine will be the first union of the
Bourbons and Bonapartes. Princess
