HORSE MARKET.
Boston, December 22-The horse mar
ket was dull and unsteady. Offerings
were cleaned up, only by sacrificing
values in the general run of sales. The
demand is very slow, and some of the
dealers call the trade the very worst
they have even seen for years. While
the western horse trade has been greatly
benefited by the foreign demand for
horses, the market about Boston had
been decidedly the reverse. as horses re-
ceived from the west are higher at first
cost to the dealers, and the demand is so
poor that buyers will only buy at re-
duction of prices. Dealers do not expect
this condition to hold, and seem sure
that after this period of depression the
trade will improve, and the market be-
come stronger.
The British and French armies are
calling for light weight horses for which
prices range from $100q175, but they are
fussy buyers, and reject great many
horses as unfit for army service. These
sales are cleaning up large amounts of
horses in weekly shipments of 1o0O@aOo
head, most of them sailing from New
York and st. John ports. At the close of
the war, the demand will be continued
as Europe will again be a heavy buyer
in replacing farm horses and other lines.
prices on the weeks sales held within
the range of last weeks figures, but
there were fewer horses sold for top fig
ures this week. The best, heavy green
drafters offered, sold from $30Oq375; me-
dunn weight, first-class drafters, from
$225@300; heavy wagon and express
horses, from $160d225; light weight
horses, mostly seconds, for general de-
livery and business service, from s1259175.

was made. From that period the move
ment was marked by increasing weak
ness with only an occasional titful rally.
The selling was too general for analysis,
but foreign offerings and bear activity
contributed their part, together with I'M
loading by discouraged investors.
After the close of the market Steel was
offered at IS, with no bid, and other spec
ulative issues showed little disparity be-
tween bid and asked prices. Today s
closing quotations represent declines OF
5 to 10 points from the high of Deem
Der Is, the loss in certain specialties ex-
tending to Is points. Routine news IA
vorable in the main included a more
cheerful outlook for the steel industry,
easier money tendencies and steadiness
in foreign exchange, except francs and
lires. Regardless of the course pursued
by the steel and iron stocks, yesterday S
decision of the United States Steel Cor
poration to maintain the existing scale
of wages was accepted as q sure sign
of betterment in that industry and this
was confirmed by the statement that a
number of large equipments orders are
impending.

property. Only after much time could
anything like an estimate be given.
An inventory of all State property
should be taken, and a record kept in
the State Auditors Office.
This is an era of conventions of all
kinds. With the creation and growth
of State departments, all over the
country comes the desire for State
officers to meet in convention and
discuss matters pertaining to their
respective departments. In our own
State this custom has now extended
largely to the chief employees of
many Of the departments as well as
the heads of those departments, and
also includes the members of all
Boards and Commissions. There are
a number of conventions held each
year throughout the United States
which no doubt could be attended by
certain of our State officials with profit
to the State. The Legislature has
made no specific appropriation for
any department to attend conventions
outside the State, and with the grow
ing demand in this direction, it is a
difficult matter for the Governor and
Council CIR State Auditor to decide
where to draw the line. / believe the
Legislature should make whatever
appropriation is necessary for this
purpose and hold all departments to
that amount.
At almost every session of the Leg
islature, Acts and Resolves have been
passed for the payment of certain
bills out of 'Any Money in the State
Treasury mot Otherwise Appropri4
ated." The Legislature is supposed to
regulate it's appropriations and ex-
penditures by the estimated receipts

TONE OF THE MARKET.
The market for livestock was rather
weak, with the receipts moderate, but
ample for all wants, which were smaller
because Of Christmas week. Beef cattle
showed little change from week ago.
No christmas cattle were brought in.
but there were a few choice steers. The
market for the best was from 73qS3c,
with good quality 73G7sc. The best heavy
cows brought 6G6acf1 fair to good, 5@6c;
ordinary to fair 4a@5c; poor, 3a94ac.
Bulls were in quite good supply at 4tq6ac.
Veal calves sold at about the previous
range, from St@9ac for the general run of
good quality, while fancy veals sold up
to lie, and coarse calves at 597c. Small
calves brought $3a55O each. The re-
ceipts were not heavy but there was no
shortage in the supply.
Hogs declined again, and were quoted
at 7a714c, the latter being the top for the
best hogs while some poor hogs sold a
fraction below re. There was large
supply from the west, but local receipts
were light. Dealers were not at all
eager to buy, and shippers were forced
to accept whatever they were offered.
Dressed hogs were quoted at 9a9sc.
Sheep and lambs were in small supply,
both from the west and from New Eng
land points and the market held steady
at the previous prices, from 3aq6c for
sheep and case for lambs.
The quarantine has been lifted in more
than 200 Massachusetts towns to the ex-
tent that permits for the moving of stock
have been granted. This will relieve
the situation here. and permit the ship
ment of cattle that have been held back.
Only one case of the foot and mouth dis
ease is known to exist in Massachusetts
now, and there is little danger that any
more will be discovered. No more have
been found in New Hampshire, and as
the sources Of infection on this side of
the line have been eliminated, there is
little chance that the disease will spread.
In the west the quarantine has been
lifted in many PLACES.

islature allowing the Insurance Com
missioner to expend rs per cent OF the
fees received from fire insurance COM
panies and % per cent of the tax re-
ceived on special insurance brokers
and on unauthorized insurance. In ad-
dition to this act of allowing the fees,
the Committee on Appropriations re-
ported and the Legislature passed the
usual appropriations for meeting the
expenses of this department. This
would lead to the conclusion that the
matter could not have been under
stood by the Legislature. If it was by
the Committee. l took the matter up
with the Attorney General and his
opinion was that both could not be
used That law and laws of a like
nature should be repealed and
straight appropriation made to cover
the expense of any and all depart
ments, so the Legislature may know
the specific amount they are voting.
AS you will notice. the total amounts
asked for by the different Charitable
Institutions are considerably in excess
of the amount heretofore appropriated
by the Legislature. I believe that they
are all worthy institutions and 1 also
believe that the settled policy of the
State in helping them is a wise one;
but | am also of the opinion that the
State should know more about the
purposes for which this money is ex-
pended, and that it should be done
