Boston, July 30.-The trade in the
horse market was almost wholly local,
and the market quotations on the
general run of horses remains steady,
but the, demand is naturally dull.
There is a constant call for heavy
| working horses in and about the city
4 from the business concern, specially
from those where horses are used for
delivery and teaming, but outside of
| this trade in heavy horses there is
only a small demand. Supplies are
small and good many dealers are
| taking advantage of this dull time to
be away looking up horses for the fall
| business. Very few secondhand
| horses are to be found at the auc-
| tions. as the supply which was large
| at the beginning of the spring are
| pretty thoroughly scattered over the
country. but will be returned for sale
when the vacation season is over.
| Little or no trade was reported in fam
cy drivers.
