HORSE MARKET.
Boston, Oct. 90.
There was a moderately heavy sup
ply of horses received at the sale sta
bles during the past week, and as the
market continues dull, prices were
easy and the larger part of the offer
ings were sold by the close of the
week, owing to the lower market,
which induced buyers to buy more
readily. Heavy draft horses were in
light supply and sold at about the
former figures. Medium weight draft
ers and heavy horses for general
wagon use were in fair supply and
sold more readily than other classes.
Seconds were entered in large num-
hers, and as quality was not high the
average sales were at cheap figures.
This week most of the stables Will Of
fer unusually large numbers of horses,
which looks as if dealers We're expect
ing an Improvement in the demand.
The best heavy drafters, 1650Q1900
lbs. sold from $310$425; medium weight
first class drafters, from s2l0@$31O;
heavy wagon and express horses, at
s,eoNS2l0; horses for general light de-
livery and business purposes, from
SIS upward; many horses in this class
being seconds.
At the City Sale stables-J. G.
Keith. Stevens & Sweet Horse Co.,

horses and So head of seconds We're
entered. Sales averaged slow, with

of prices. This week the firm are Of
