HORSE MARKET
Boston, Jan. 1.-the horse market
continued dull this week, with most
of the trading coming from nearby
points. On the whole prices held
fairly steady at the decline of last
week, which was sharp. Buyers were
not very anxious and dealers had
hard work in disposing of the Offer
ings which were fortunately light in
green fresh country horses. There
! were very few wholesale orders for
the country, and Maine buyers we're
pretty well out of the market, one or
two carloads being about the largest
sale reported. There were several
/ carloads of wood horses on sale, but
these moved slowly and prices aver
aged lower. In seconds and acclm-
ated horses entries were rather
heavy, and buyers took more horses
of the poorer types than of the good
acclimated ones. which has recently
! been the reverse. For the present
week supplies from the Western
shippers will be lighter than for
some time past. as they claim that
they have lost money on the last two
or three weeks shipments, although
buying on an easier western market,
which shows signs of weakness.
Good quality heavy green drafters,
1650M1900 lbs, sold from $350m375;
medium. weight, good quality green
drafters. sold from s250G275, with
some of extra good horses in these
weights selling up $500 and 1925:
heavy wagon and express horses sold
from sl65@265; chunks from s1751
ESQ; acclimated horses from $3.50
IT'S, and seconds of ordinary class
from s40q125.
At the City Sale stables-J. c.
Keith, Stevens & Sweet Horse Com
pany offered express carloads of
green horses, and ] carload Of wood
horses, and about 60 seconds. One
carload was shipped to Maine for re-
selling. and the rest was taken by the
local demand. Prices were steady.
This week there will be one carload
of green western horses, one carload
of wood horses and about the usual
amount of seconds.
