HORSE MARKET.
Boston, Aug. %.
The horse trade was quiet during the
week, with moderately light supplies
for the season. Prices held fairly firm,
but there seems to be no indication of
ADVANCE, although the cost of fresh
,ountry horses that are placed on the
market is high. SO far the effect of
the war on tn etrade has been to re-
duce the demand. There are not so
many horses needed for teaming since
the foreign steamship service has been
curtailed. as teaming of supplies to
and from the docks has been material
ly reduced. Sales were made mostly
during the week to the local demand.
