destined for the London and LIVER

HORSE MARKET
Boston. Sept. 3.
The horse trade was quiet With
practically no change in market con-
ditions. Supplies We're light specially
in the consignments of green West
ern horses. Acclimated horses / were|
entered in somewhat larger numbersI
and as the quality was fairly good
they sold at better average prices The
bulk of the trade is for heavy horses
and dealers continue to have diff !
Guilty in supplying the demand. HeavyI
wagon horses for city use also ard
good sellers, but the lighter weight
horses move slowly to an indifferent
demand. There was only a small
amount of business transacted inI
driving. combination and saddle
horses. and this type at full valte.

upward, sold at s325@$450: medium
weight drafters at s225@sS25; heavy
