Weeks Horse Trading Unsatisfactory.
chicago, Jan. l5.-The past week has
Deen rather unsatisfactory one to
horsemen, in SO far as volume of bust
ness and prices are concerned, and no
bright prospects are held out for thu,
next rev days by the trade in general.
Prices for horses during the last seven
DAYS show material losses as compared
with the previous week, buyers main
tanning an Indifferent spirit throughout
the period. and many of the sellers be-
came discouraged toward the latter
part of the week and granted conces-
sions. Slack business conditions in the
east and the high price of feed, as well
as the unusually cold weathe, were the
chief factors contributing to the drag
ey feeling. Offerings for the week were
liberal and exceeded those Of the pre-
vious week by a comfortable margin
Demand was principallr for the better
classes of draft horses and farm mares
weighing around 1880 to 1900 lbs, and.
owing to the adverse conditions, buy
ers were able to secure many bargains.
Receipts of horses for the week ag-
gregated 1858, which compares with
1912 horses last week and 1879 horses
the corresponding week last year. Quo
