Horse Trade Dull and Prices Weak.
Chicago; Jan. 26.-Horse trading
lacked activity Thursday, and the feel
ing continued to be easy. There were
comparatively few buyers at the auc-
ton and the quality of the stock put up
for sale was not such as would attract
a great deal of attention. Numerous
odds and ends were disposed Of at lib
eral concessions and even the best
horses failed to bring top prices of yes
terday. Offerings were quiet, but good
percentage of the choice stock was held
for private sale. Trading in the latter
respect was better than at the auction.
though the market here was also heavy.
There was a fairly good demand for
farm stuff. but in most cases buyers
did not care to pay the prices asked
and there was general disposition to
hunt for bargains.
Receipts of horses for four days this
week are zoos head, which includes 200
head estimated for today, and COM
pares with 1887 head for the same
time last week and 1927 head for four
days the corresponding week last year.
