Chicago Horse Market.
Chicago, June 15.-The market Is not
in the best of shape in view Of the fact
that fair quota Of horses were left un-
sold after the first four days OF auction.
Demand for mules, especially shipping
inquiry, has shown improvement this
week.
Fasteners. who were here in goodly
numbers on Monday and TUESDAY
bought what they wanted and mace
quick getaway. After this shipping
trade was over the horse trade was de-
cidedly lethargic. city buyers and the
few farmers who showed up at the ring
manifesting little desire to purchase
offerings.
BUYERS are discriminating against
the inferior grades Of horses, los OF
which were held over this week How
ever. trading in the best classined
horses for five days is good and prices
correspondingly satisfactory. some
teaming interests bought thin drait
horses because of the extreme scarcity
Of the better grades. several big con-
Germs paying from $3.50 to $3.50 for
teams that worked true but appeared
somewhat lacking in weight.
Recoints Of horses for five days this
first FIVE days last week and e,ool the
corresponding time a year ago. euo-
tations:

Inmates were at $4,000 to 1900, ana IN

ditions the trade figures that TO-

fairly representative OF the horHiai
marketing conditions as they apply a'
this time. .s,,.
A feeder trader said this week: we
have done a smaller business TINS week
than In many years past, and my prl-
vate oninion Is that we will continue to
do short amount Of country selling
for some time to come. The owners OF
thin steers, realizing what it means TO
shin them now and go without later
one. are holding to their thin STUFF. ana
result, is a meager crop here at market
for those would-be buyers who are
willing to pay current prices
While the distillery fed steer crop
has been quite generous. the hieness
prices paid for stillers since 1867 has
been the incentive to running lot OF
light sIop-fed. cattle out OF the sheds.
and the stiller owners have thus 1ar
been drawing heavily upon the future.
Fancy yearling heifer stuff m
straight lots has been scarce this week.
but there were bales Of yearlins steers
and hetfers at 1910, equaiing the May
TOP for them, and making new record
for mixed steers and heifers. Other
lots of corn-fed heifers have sold al
ss256s.s0. and stiller heifers at $S.4o'

sales of single animals at new record
rates. ss.1O6s25 being paid. and two
full loads sold Wednesday at $500.

cows have sold at s7oo@s.75 and the
bulk of fair to good beef grades. some
showing grass, sold at s5.75@6.6o,
while only a plain grass kind Of lighs
weight went around $500 ana lower.
dairies Of common sort going around

Bull market is holding up to high
levels by force Of continued small sup
plies and there is healthy demand at
the prices both from packers and the
eastern bologna makers. Latter grades
Of heavy weights have sold OF late
