HORSE MARKET
Boston. June 1.-the horse market
was weak during the past week, and
prices on average, sales were lower.
The decline was uneven as some
dealers reported that some Of their
horses sold s25 per head under SELL
ing prices Of the previous week, while
demand was very quiet all about the
city, and there were many horses I'M
sold at the weeks end. Country buy
ers bought sparingly and the local
demand continues very dull
Trade under normal conditions
would naturally drop off at this sea-
son Of the year. but this spring it
is in advance of the usual summer
dullness, as general business where
horses are in use are buying few ex-
ira horses. and this depression Of
trade is felt not only about Boston
but through the New England states.
In marked contrast to our Eastern
trade, the west is selling horses on
strong market, with continual adj
vances on nearly all classes of hor-
ses. The best heavy drafters, sold
from $325@375; medium weight, first
class drafters, from s25o@325; heavy
wagon and express horses. from $175
@2S5: chunks. $135@225; lighter
weight horses for general business
and delivery service. from $135@200;
seconds, from 500 upwards.
At the City Sale Stables-J. c.
Keith, Stevens & Sweet Horse Com
pany had a large amount Of horses
for the weeks sales, there being s
express carloads Of green horses and
from 5000 head Of acclimated. Few
country buyers were about the stables
and bids were dull with prices sacri-
feed to made a clearance.
William Hurwitz offered 2 express
carloads Of green horses, and 40 sec
onds. Business was unusually dull
and the supply though small was ex-
cessive, and a number of horses were
held for this weeks trade, when ex-
ira carloads will be received.
