Horse and Mule Market.
Horses-The work Of the foreign
inspectors Of accommodating desirable
war horses continued, although the
English seemed to be taking slight
ly smaller supplies of cheaper anil
mails. A large supply Of these ami.
mails gave to the market additional
life; In fact, the main source Of life
came through this buying. However.
this trade had little or no effect on
the domestic selling. At persent
