HORSE MARKET.
Boston, December TO-
The horse market was dull and weak.
1t is many vars since the horse trade
has been as steadily poor at this sea-
sen as during the past two months.
Green horses are bought at high cost
to dealers, and are none too plentiful,
but the demand is very backward. and
as sellers cannot afford to materially
lower values to attract buyers, the
trade suffers. Part of the lack of de-
mand is due to the continued warm
weather. which under better conditions
would hurt the sales on heavy green
horses, and also the extensive use of
automobiles. Dealers are hoping for
break in the continued strong market
for green Western horses, and for
cold snap Of weather, beth of which
would help the trade.
The best green drafters sold at $225Gf
1925, with extra heavy horses of quail
ity, at $S25@$425: heavy wagon and eX-
press horses sold at $165@$225: milk
team, light delivery and general bus
mess horses at $135 and upward, ac-
cording to weight and condition.
At the City sale stables-Wheeler,
MeElveen & Co. sold 2 carloads of
green horses and about IS seconds We're
offered Sales were dull, and prices
hard to hold at previous quotations.
Welch g. Hall & Co. offered 1 car
load of green horses and few sec
onds. There was practically no change
in conditions of sales or in the demand,
which was slow.
J. C. Keith, at his Brighton stables
sold TO dull trade carloads of green
horses and 81 seconds. Prices were
lower in order to close sales.

almost wholly local, with few large
