HORSE MARKET.
Boston, Nov. 1.-the horse market
was very dull and inactive and trading
during the week was generally unsat
isfactory. There was fairly large
amount of horses on sale, but BUYERS
were scarce. and some of the dea ierS
reported loss of So per head below
first cost on their fresh horses from,
the country. The lack of trade seems
to be due to the fact that so many in
duStrles where horses are in use are
held at a standstill waiting for work
ers. The lumber men cannot get driy
frS, and a great many contractors are
unable to buy up horses until assured
of helpers. The local trade took off
some of the horses, but the larger part
were taken by Maine buyers for rrsn,,-
ing. as farm work is far enough along
that no extra horses are needed. and
IN fact, many that have been in use
during the fall are now being return
ed to the sale stables for vsseling.
