HORSE MARKET.
Boston, Oct. 49,
Sales were of small volume and the
market for horses was very dull. AS
nearly all lines of business where horses
are in use are restricted at present. the
eastern horse market is less active than
for many years, and dealers at nearly all
the Boston sale stables are only offering
small numbers of green horses. Second
hand horses, however, are entered In
larger numbers than usual, and this
week sold fairly well. but as the quality
was not high, prices were proportionate-
ly lower. Most of the weeks sales were
| to the local trade, few orders from out
side being filled. Expectations of army
horses from the West have already be-
gun. and as the supply is not large prices
are naturally higher.
Quotations while the average sales are
| lower kept within the range of the pre-
vious figures. The best heavy drafters
sold at a range of $500 to $425; medium
weight first-class drafters from s210 to
1925: heavy wagon and express horses
from $50 to s225; lightweight horses fol
general delivery service from s135 up
ward; seconds sold from $50 upward.
At the City Sale Stables-J. C. Keith
Stevens and Sweet Horse Co. at the
Brighton stock yards sold about two
carloads of green horses and S. seconds
Prices on the green horses were high
and sales were slow and prices hard to
hold at the recent level. The second
hand horses were bid more freely for and
sold readily with values easy.
William Hurwitz, Portland street, Bos-
ton, offered only a small number oil
/ horses during the past week, most OF
which were acclimated horses entered fol
quick sales. Trade was dull and prices
lower on the average sales. Next week
two carloads of green western horses will
be offered.
