acclimated horses that were in good con-
dition were brisk such horses selling at
full value. Only a small amount of driv
ing and combination horses We're entered
and sold readily. There was an I'M
usually large amount of secondhand
horses entered this week, with a good
many ordinary horses in the lot, selling
at $50675.
Quotations in general were unchanged.

medium weight draft horses at $250d35O.

purpose horses, at $l50G250 secondhand

carriage horses at $3O06D1OO: medium to
good drivers, at $10On250.
