HORSE MARKET.
Boston, Jan. 90.
The horse market was rather dull
during the week and the supplies
which were moderately heavy. both in
the green western horse and acclimat-
ed. Prices suffered in consequence on
almost all classes. The big drafters
sold readily and at the same range of
values as We're received in the previ-
ous week, also some extra good acch-
mated horses, which were bid on brisk
" full values being received. Outside
of these horses every other line of
trade was quiet. Heavy wagon, ex-
press horses and farm chunks we've Of
fered in about the usual amount, but
the demand fell off to such an extent
that dealers in order to clean out the
supply, cut prices, although money was
lost on selling at lower figures in many
sales.
! Secondhand offerings from nearby
were not up to the quality OF the pas :
few weeks, and this made dlsposi;ls
slow and prices ran lower. The pest
quality, heavy green drasters, soid
from sSOO@$35O, with some extras high
er: medium weight, first class draltors,
sold from s225ds3OO; heavy wagon and
EXPRESS horses, from $165ds225; chunks
from s15o@s225; good quality acclimat-
cd horses from S125@s175; ordinary sec
