ST. Louis Horses and Mules.
ST. LOUIS, May 25.-The quality
of the stock seems more common than
usual. while with fewer buyers tho
market declined somewhat, SO that
values are not up to where they were
a week ago. Demand is confined
chiefly to quality stock. but even that
class is not selling to very good adj
vantage.
For army sorts there is broad de.
mand. with not enough material
available. English are going after
the stock in excellent style. Belgians,
however. are featuring in this division
Of the trade at present and are alb
sorbing around 600 or 700 head week
ly. French are Duying fairly good,
but Italians have been going pretty
slow for the past several weeks. They
seem quite willing to take horses. but
they have not been getting the ma
terial to work with. Horse quota
tons:
Heavy draft, extra ....... .$175@225
Eastern chunks ........... 15061S5
Southern horses. good $50. S5@125
Southern horses, plain ..... 600 IS
Southern horses, common. 400 65
Choice saddlers ............ 100000
Plugs commit. .......... 5Q 20
Mules-A good rugged miner. with
plenty of bone found a fair market.
and some extra quality big mules sold
here and there at prices that were
not SO bad but generally values were
quoted at barely steady with figures
of the previous days session.
War mules of good quality found a
very good market, but the inspectors
are moro rigid than they were at the
opening of activities here, and ship
pers are having trouble in getting
their mules passed. Mule quotations.
