HORSE MARKET
Boston, June 16.-There was a light
demand for horses during the week.
as the dull season is at hand and sales
are transient, there being few whole
sale orders just now. Supplies, how
ever, were light and this with gem
orally lower time to the market, en-
abled dealers to clean up their sta
bles of the weeks offerings. All classes
Of commercial horses were in about
equal demand, with perhaps. quicker
sales on the more medium weight
horses. as fewer heavier horses are
needed by the trade just at present.
Good acclimated horses are not in
| numerous supply. but when offered
sell readily, values being lower than
on the green horses of same weight.
There was little or no trade in harness
classes.
The quotations for the week were
within the range of those previously
quoted, but the average vas lower. The
best heavy drafters, 16504 1900 lbs,
sold from s325Q425; medium weight.
