HORSE MARKET. a
Boston. March II.
There were great many horses re-
ceived at the sale stables during the
week, both of green and seconds. The
demand was excellent so that the end
of the week found the stables pretty
well cleaned up. with offerings SELL
ing at slight advances, but within the
range of prices last quoted. Horses
weighing from 1900 to 1900 lbs. were
| the most actively demanded, and the
bulk of the trade was made by buy
ers from Maine. New Hampshire and
Vermont, for re-selling for farming
purposes. Sales on the heavy draft
horses were to the local trade, and
as the supply was not heavy, prices
held firm. Seconds were entered In
large numbers. and as the amount
included some good horses, entered
from short service, the values obtains
ed ruled high. Light weight delivery
teams were in urgent demand and
sold much better than for months
past. Harness classes continue quiet.
The best heavy drafters, 1650@ls00
lbs, sold at $325@450. with a few ex-
ira well matched pairs selling high-
err: medium weight, first class draft-
ers, at s250@350: heavy wagon and
express horses, at s175@25o; some OF
the better class seconds, weighing
from 1850 to 1900 lbs. sold freely at
s175 upward; milk team, general BUSH
ness horses, sold from $3.50 upward1
