FOREIGN Cattle Trade.
There were no shipments of livestock
by States exporters during the week.
and there were also no cables received of
quotations from the English markets.
There is no change. evidently, in the
conditions of the exchange and until
prices advance abroad or decline in the
west exporters will not try to hold the
trade. with certain loss insured on all
shipments at the present time.
Horse Market.
Boston. November 1.-THE demand at
the different sale stables varied during
the past week While at one stable the
demand was brisk and large number
of horses We're sold at another the
trade was fiat. with disposals slow.
Values. however. hold firm and have
shown VERY little change throughout
the fall. although so far this seasons
run of business has not been as good
as last year The demand during the
week was mostly local, with some orders
filled for the logging camps, and for
mill work. There were few entries of
driving. coach horses and saddlers.
there being little or no call for ordinary
horses of this type.
The best heavy drafters sold at
range of s25Oas $3.50 with extra weight
horses of quality selling readily up to
$50: heavy wagon and express horses
mostly for city delivery sold from s1750
s225: milk team, light express and gem
eral purpose horses at s135M$200

of green country horses during the week,
and so acclimated horses were entered
Sales We're dull. with no life to the de-
mand. all classes being depressed VAL
ues held UP fairly WELL but the trade
needs the stimulus some good cold
weather to bring out buyers.
WEIGH Hall & Company sold / car
load of green horses and few accli-.
mated We're entered The demand was
dull with values the same as last weeks.
J. c. Keith. at the Brighton sale stable

horses and 60 seconds were entered AL
though this was the biggest offering this
season, the demand was good. making
one of the busiest weeks trade for
sometime past. While prices held firm
there was no material advance with the
more urgent demand. / carload was
shipped to Vermont and l to Maine, the
rest of the trade being local.
