Horse and Mule Market.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan 26--Horses-
A run Of horses that will probably
prove to be record for the last few
years was received The estimate
called for $500 head, and il the full
guess materializes 1t will outstretch
all previous runs in the last few years.
This supply may be compared with
$500 head week ago and $500 the
corresponding day year ago.
There was a better representation
of purchasers from southern sections.
and the eastern states were fairly
well represented. This demand from
the south helped considerably and the
trade in general In the auction was
/ encouraging. .fhile values did not
take any upturn, still, they were firm
er.
| Buyers Of horses for European war
purposes were on the market for all
| they could get and they were paying
strong prices, namely, from $125 to
$3.50. These kinds are selling high
and shippers should strive to get
them on the market. Good, sound.
well-built chunks around Is hands,
and weighing from LOO to 1,4O0
pounds are the kinds wanted and all
that pass inspection will make money
! If bought with reasonable degree OF
judgment in this country.
| Mules-There was fairly good d.
mand for mules. Buyers were more
numerous and they were calling for.
quality kinds. The good fat mule
capable of filling cotton mule orders
were the kinds mostly in demand and
they met ready sale, but prices are not
| high, and range from 1925 to $3.50.
