CHICAGO Horse Market.

Chicago, June STEADY tone pre-
vailed III horses today. The inspeo-
tions took their pick Of the run at
standard prices, which left but little
picking for auction traders, due to
much more varied assortment de-
manded by them of late. Horses OF
900 pounds for light cavalry to 1,5O0
pound animals for artillery purposes
were wanted by the belligerents. thus
giving city traders a narrow field in
the auctions. However, eastern trad
ers are getting what they want for
what they want The summer wealth
er, which Is nearly upon us. is having
some effect on the trade, altho no great
slackening in demand is predicted by
commission men for some time to
come. Eastern buyers are willing to
pay 1925 to $3.50 for medium to good
weight chunks; with heavy kinds at
$3.50 to s215. Big horses with quality
are bringing up to 1865, but these are
scarce right now. Light reject stock
in the auctions brought $50 to so, with
medium weights at SIS to 500.
Receipts so far this week have been
1882, against 1852 last week, 1903
year ago and 913 two years ago.
