i FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
The only expectation of livestock for
the week was Ia cattle from New
York. by the Minnehaha destined for
the London market 1t was expected
that there would be a shipment from
Boston on the Canadian, but at the
ttime of sailing the stock had not ar
rived and there seems to be doubts
las to whether there will be any sent
lacfoss from Boston during the cur
trent week. The trade again seems to
be dying out, and there seems little
Iencoura cement that it will be revived
ION any large scale for the present.
There are fair weekly shipments of
dressed meats, which, this year, are
in about the same proportion as in
1912. but comparatively small with
Ieargoes shipped not so very many
lyears ago. Pork products are sent

HORSE MARKET
Boston. Sept 16-There was an even
lily developed trade at the sale-stablcs
flor the past week, and although, as
lis usual the big horses were in the
Imost urgent demand, still all classes of
commercial horses were called for and
1.-THE supplies which were somewhat
Hight were readily cleared up, with
values firm. Horses are being shipped
to the woods for logging each week.
but not in as large numbers as will
be called for little later on. Buyers
Iof these horses want animals of good
working capacity, weighing from 1900
lbs, up, and pay from $3.50 a $50, ac-
cording to weight. Seconds were en-
tered in larger numbers than q week
|ago, but unless in good condition., sales
drag. Harness classes continue dull.
The best heavy drafters, 1850 & 1850
lbs sold from $3.50 a ATS; medium
weight, frst-class drafters. from $3.50
% $50; heavy wagon horses. and light
err delivery horses from $3.50 a $50;
farm chunks, 1900 % 1900 lbs from
$50 q 20O
At the City Sale Stables-Wheeler,
McElveen 4 Co. offered 3 express car
loads of green horses. of all weights.
and about 70 acclimated horses were
received. Sales were readily made on
the big horses, and the more medium
weight horses were in fair demand.
Prices were firm at the level Of the
past two weeks.
| At J. c. keitb's, at the Brighton
Stock Yards. there were on sale ex-
press carloads of green western horses
and so seconds. The heavy horses sold
! briskly but the lighter weights went
slowly. but prices held well on all
classes.
