HORSE MARKET
Boston, Nov. u.
The horse trade WAS not as brisk as
last week, when a large number of
horses We're sold at the city stables.
The general trade was quiet, but prices
did not materially suffer. although the
average was little lower. Heavy
horses were the best sellers but with
the lumber camps waiting for cold
weather TO make logging possible, and
the coal dealers. on account of short
age in coal, buying gingerly. these sales
are not up to the usual urgency that
generally marks this season of the
year. There We're fewer entries of har-
ness classes than last week, but all
good horses of this class sell quickly
and at sellers price.
The best heavy drafters sold from
$3.50 to $3.50. with extra heavy horses OF
quality, selling up 10 S450 readily:
heavy wagon horses. mostly for city
delivery at $115aS223; mix team, light
delivery and general purpose horses at
$i25@$l15. Mules sold from $l0oq- SS25.
