New York, Jan. 30.-The steamship
Verona took away from this port last
Tuesday $50 horses as part of an
order for 10000 placed in this coun-
try by Italy. Wednesday the shii
Shenandoah, under the British flag
sailed with 500 horses for use in the
British army.
Since the European war began, last
August, expert dealers figure that
10000 American horses has been eN-
ported to Europe and about 10000
mules. Orders are being filled ant
other orders going begging which de
mand about 10000 more.
Greece has recently come into the
market with France, England ard
Italy bidding for American horses, ard
if Germany, Austria and Turkey had
free path of the sea the demand
from that source would also be enor
nous.
These are the facts that indicate a
threatened horse famine in America.
The horse, apparently contemptuously
tossed into the ditch of time by the
motor car and the curtaiment of rae
ing, rears its head again.
The price of horses has doubled
since last August and after foreign
governments buy their horses they
have to pay from $50 to 500 apiece
for passage.
And if the war should stop this
spring, or whenever ii does said
Frederick Wagner, president Of the
Fiss, Doerr & Carroll Horse Com
pany, "the condition of threatened
famine here would be worse, because
the inhabitants of the countries that
had been at war would have to re
sumo their normal occupations. I'm
mediate resumption of agriculture
would be a necessity.
"Their own horses having been com
mandeered ana 1or the most par,
slaughtered they would have 20 turn
for the purchase of horses here. With
the war over, the seas would he free
to all nations, and that would mean
that Germany and Austria would be
in our markets as well as the allie
Sweden and Norway have always
bought horses from us. TIE African
horses-Arabs and Bcrbs-arc useless
for industrial purposes, and the splen-
did breed Of Flanders will have beer
about exhausted by the sweeping
drafts made upon this stock.
"The demand of the European
agents will bring a decided pinch thi.
spring-especially in the South and
Southwest where the foreign order
