HORSE MARKET
Boston,. May 14.-The market was
decidedly active, with brisk trade
which cleaned out the stables 50 that
hardly a horse was unseld at the close
of the week. Prices We're strong and
large orders were filled for all New
England farming districts, specially
heavy orders coming from Maine, in
the Aroostook county, orders from the
latter calling for fine heavy horses
weighing 1900. 1900 and 100 lbs. and
bringing prices around $500, largely
according to weight and working ca
pacity. The demand was more vigor-
Gus for heavy working horses than any
other class, but all classes sold we'll,
and good values We're obtained. Deal
ers, could they procure more heavy,
rugged horses. could easily dispose of
the same to advantage under the ur-
gent demand of the past few weeks.
but the supply is limited. The best
heavy drafters, 1850 to 1900 lbs. sold
strong at $375M475; more medium
weights. at $30omS75: heavy wagon
horses at 5000 500; light delivery and
general purpose Horses at $3.50 and up-
ward, according to weight and condi-
ton.
At the City Sale Stables: Wheeler. Nc
Elveen e. Co. sold readily $50 country
horses and 100 head of acclmated and
seconds. The trade was the best since
the opening of the spring business and
large orders were filed for the country
trade and good local trade developed.
Prices We're strong.
WEIGH & Hall Co. sold IS head of green
horses and Is acclimated horses. The
whole lot was cleaned out at steady
values
Myer Abrams & Co. sold three loads
of country horses and a few acclimated
were entered. The demand was more
urgent and sales were made on firm
basis of value.
J. c. Keith of Brighton sold seven car
loads of green horses both locally and
out into the country, heavy orders being
filled for the farming districts. The best
sales were reported since the opening
OF this stable few months back. There
