Horse and Mule Market.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 6.-Horses-
Not very many eastern buyers were
on hand and this trade was not good
by any means. Buyers wanted moth
ing but extra good quality types.
Southern trade was poor and is not
expected to be very good at present
as the season for this class is about
over and very few are finding outlet
at present. Prices on all classes OF
southern horses are low.
The most prominent feature OF the
days trade was the selling of horses
to foreign agents. The trade lent to
the market practically the only &C.
tivity displayed. Buyers from these
countries were taking their usual
types and paid good strong prfoes ID
all instances.

Mules-Buyers do not want bis
supplies and pay low prices. For TINS
reason alone shippers should MINI
mize their shipments and be very eau
tious about the prices on this ma.
terial in the country. Plenty of quail
fty is essential to sales and it is use
less to show material without quality:
