HORSE MARKET
Boston. July Receipts of horses
at the sale-stables were of fair VOL
ume considering the season, and the
holiday which broke up the trade at
the end of the week The demand was
active for all classes of mediumly
heavy working horses both in green
and sound seconds. The heaviest
drafters were in small supply, but as
the call for them was not eager, there
was sufficient number offered. Prices
were easy and a fairly good clearance
was made what with the local trade
and shipments of small amounts out
into the country. There is little trade
of harness classes at the auctions, such
sales being confined to private sales,
mostly at stables where such horses
are the speciality Prices on this class
rule high, as there is as rule not
much demand, outside of fancy ami
mails
The best, heavy drafters, green, sold
from $325@425; medium weight. first
class, green drafters. $225@325; heavy
wagon and express horses. at 1850
225; chunks. at $125@200; good Sec
onds, of light to medium weight, at
s135@175.
At the City Sale Stables. c.
Keith, at the Brighton Stock Yards,
offered express carloads OF green
horses. and 60 seconds. Sales while
quiet, were of enough volume to clean
up supplies with no material decline in
prices.
