several other dealers who have been
searching the country for many
months for horses for the Italian,
French and British armies, today
quit business so far as buying cav
airy horses is concerned. They an
nounced they are absolutely out OF
the business. There is a rumor that
a representative of the German gov
eminent came here quietly and
stopped the traffic in cavalry
horses. Another theory is that the
United States government has in
fluenced the cessation of the expor-
tation Of calvary horses in view OF
the probable need of them for use
in Mexico. The horse buyers refuse
