scarcity of good quality wheat, espec-
tally at Liverpool. where the store
available was said to disappearing

called Letter deal. Opening prices IN
Chicago were y to Ac higher. MAY

Hor.a Ruver. Not 90 EAGER.

Stock Yards. Chicago, Feb. A.-Less
activity was shown in the hourse mar
ket Tuesday, but prices were about
steady with yesterday. The crowd at
the auction was large enough and rep.
resented a liberal number of buyers.
but the latter were either filled up or
else they were not satisfied with the
horses offered for sale. The quality OF
the offerings were not as good as 1t mas
been lately, quite few dogs being
included. It was very difficult to get
q bid on this poor stuff, and sellers
would have been willing to get rid Of
1t for little or nothing. The best big
horses and choice farm chunks moved
freely enough, but even here 1t look
ed as though. buyers were playing FOR
a decline. sN
A liberal number Of horses were dis
posed OF in a private way, and as prac-
tically all the stock sold in this man
ner was choice, firm prices prevailed.
Receipts of horses for the two days
this week, including today's estimate
OF 500 head, total 1,547 head. This com
pares with 1859 head for three days
last week and 1857 head for a similar
period during the corresponding week
last year. Quotations:
