Horse Trading Liather. But Firm.


Chicago, Jan. 19.-Interest in the
horse market Thursday was consider
ably lighter than thatNof yesterday, but
while the volume of business showed a
decrease, there was no material change
in prices and firm tone was exhibited
for most all descriptions. AS far as
quality was concerned, there was no
improvement; in fact, the percentage of
undergrade horses, If anything, was
larger than during the last few days
due to the fact that this was the final
auction sale of the week, and sellers
were anxious to clean up The crowd at
the sale was rather small, but the de-
crease was largely in the spectators,
though many of the out Of town buy
ers left last night for their homes Good
farm chunks and choice drafters con-
tinued to be favored. but much of this
stuff is picked up in private sales
Receipts for the four days Of this
week, including yesterdays estimate oc
200, total 1,221 horses, which compares
with 1889 horses for the same period
last week and LILA for four days in
the corresponding week last year. Quo

A new system OF scoring ii these
matches has been introduced this
year. While, as before, ten men shoot,
only the five highest scores are con-
sidered in the total This system will
make it much harder for Iowa to de-
fend it's title OF champion. Heretofore,
Iowa's strength has been the general
rather than the individual excellence
of It's men. Other colleges have de-
