The market has been very active this
week. There has been a good demand for
large mules and they are selling from five
to ten dollars higher than they were last
week. AS people seem to want mules for
wagon and road work and the demand
for that grade Of mules seems to be
greater than the supply, therefore, we
expect rise in the market on the large
mules.
Small mules unbroke, are going littIa
slow, as the people seem to want them
