Horse SUPPLY Of us.
MENACED BY THE WAR.

That the European war threatens to
deplete the stock of horses in the
United States was emphasized yester-
day. when a careful computation fixed
at 1S5,023 the number of horses ship
ped to the warning nations since the
beginning of the war.
The value OF the animals, according
to an inventory compiled from the
manifests of ships transporting the
horses is placed at S10.695.057 These
figures are based upon shipments from
July of last year to March 81. Dur
ing that same period 26,976 mules,
valued at S5,143,270, were sent abroad.
Buyers representing the British,
French and Russian governments, are
searching the country for more. and,
according to estimates made by ship
pers. at least 10000 animals will be
shipped 10 Europe during the summer.
Frank l.. Neal, statistician. with Of
fees in the Bourse Building, yesterday
asserted that few persons realized the
extent of the raid made by European
buyers on the horse market ship
ments." he said. have been made from
New Orleans, Newport News. Port
land, Boston and New York. During
the month OF March, 1854 horses
were shipped, representing a value Of
$S,0SS,974. The Lawther-Latta Com
pany. of London, acting for the Brit
ish government. has made arrange
ments with the Leyland Line to ship
approximately 10000 from Boston
during the summer. The French gov
ernment, according to information OBJ
tanned in shipping circles, has con-
tracted'f for 100000. the bulk of which
will be shipped from Portland, Me-"
Philadelphia has not figured i'm the
shipments, not a single consignment
of horses having left this port during
the last nine months
