The Horse Market.

Chicago. May 31.-Horse market was
in the same old rut and conditions ap-
peared to be getting worse instead Of
better. Single draft chunks of eXcep-
tional quality reached s275 during the
early auction SALE, but they were OF
class that would have sold up to about
$500 few weeks ago, and the country
shipper made the positive assertion
that they were losing him lots Of money
at the price they brought. The mar
ket was in a badly congested condition.
with receipts far in excess of the re-
quirements of the trade. and dealers
said there was little chance of the mar
ket getting any better so long as re-
ceipts continued Of present volume. At
tendance OF buyers was small and
most orders were of an Indifferent
character, making it possible for bid
ders to hold out OF the market when
they could not get the stock they
wanted at the prices they were willing
to pay.
were placed at LOST head, as contrasted
to 1853 head the first two days last
week. and 1927 head the corresponding
time a year ago. With the demand Of
its present limited scope. it is scarcely
possible that a run of last years pro-
portion could have been disposed of
handily,. but instead of that receipts
stand 400 head in excess of arrivals
for the same time a year ago, giving
dealers no chance TO bring about an
improvement Quotations on classified
receipts follow:

four hundred and fifty small school

veterans and their wives and gave rich
assurance OF loyalty to the nag In the
coming generations. The exercises at
the Colonial, which was crowded with
old and young, wore varied. rich In
character. and held the interest to the
last. The college band opened tho exer-
cises with a march. The grammar
school pupils followed With . song, 1.-THE
Call to Arms" Prayer was offered by
Rev. p. F. Narration, Of the Congrega-
tional church. Fling Out the Banner
was then sung by the school children
and this was followed by beautiful
flag drill. Josephine Kutish and Clyde
King sang In duet the old time war
song, Just Before the Battle. Mother"
