was strong during the week, with ar
urgent demand from Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont. Prices
average higher in the general run
Of sales. but held within the range
of the past two weeks quotations
| Supplies Of green western horses
were not as numerous as expected
as many Of the consignments expect
ed failed to get through from the
lack of car shortage. which is serious
and bothers the Boston dealers In
planning their sales. There was a
fairly large number Of horses re-
turned from the logging camps. ana
most of those are heavy horses. Many
of those returned for reselling this
sprinr are out of condition, showing
the effect Of the severe winters
work. Others are in nearly as good
shape as when they went into the
woods last fall. and these are taken
uuicklv and at full value. Seconds
were in smaller supply than usual as
there were but few special sales or
contractors horses offered this week.
and the bulk of the supply were Of
ordinary animals.
Good quality, heavy green drafters.

| dunn weight green drafters. from
