Prices remained unchanged. High
grades OF timothy and clover-mixed
were scarce and firm, though in only
limited local request. Medium and
common grade timothy and clover.
mixed still showed weakness under
liberal offerings and limited buying
for local and shipping account. Com.
mon, coarse or grassy clover are only
sparingly offered, but practically IN.
salable even at low down prices: no
good grades obtainable. Alfalfa of all
grades scarce, and the scant daily ar.
rivals keep sold up readily at firm
prices. Oover-mixed. No. 3, $4,000

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 9.-Horses-A fair
supply of which several hundred head
found outlet through the auction.
Eastern grades were in urgent re-.
quest and fair supply found outlet
at satisfactory prices. Southern de-
stock piling up q little OF the value
lost during the previous week.
The demand for army sorts is
stronger than It was the past week,
and there was an urgent request for
both Italian and French material
Both governments are operating two
inspections here this week, which
fact is contradictory to the theory
that foreign trade is about to slump.

evidently there is going to be fair
trade from southern buyers for some
