HORSE MARKET.
Boston. Feb. I. '
Supplies were fairly heavy during
the week at the sale stables, both in,
green horses from the west and in Sec,
ond-hand entries. Prices held at about
the previous range. Dealers sold close
to first cost, and in some sales profits
are pretty meagre, on the green horses,
as the western market continues very
strong and undoubtedly will while so.
many horses are taken for the Eng
lish army.
The trade was very good on the heav-
Ter horses during the week. and buy
ers had lot of extra good green draft
ers to select from, as there were some
especially fine lots offered this week.
The smaller horses were in less active
demand. The entries Of secondhand
horses have run more to ordinary ami
mails during the past few weeks, and
these are much harder to sell than the
good horses, which were offered quite
freely at the beginning Of the winter.
The best heavy drafters, 1850 q 1900
lbs, sold from $300@375, with matched
pairs from $500 700 per pr; medium
weight. first class drafters from s25Om
200; heavy wagon and express horses
from $1S5M265; light weight horses,
mostly seconds, from $125m2o5 chunks,
from $500 200; seconds, from $50 up
ward.

William Hurwitz. offered three car
loads of green horses, one carload Of
New York seconds, and from 5000 sec
onds from nearby points. Sales were
sufficient to make fairly good clear
ance, at about last weeks prices, but
sales were harder to close than a week
ago. One carload Of mixed horses was
shipped to Maine and another to New
Hampshire for re-selling.

French-Canadian line. sailed from Bos-
ton for La Pallice, France. with a car
