HORSE MARKET
Boston, November 5-The horse
market continues dull and inactive.
The larger part of the trade Genes
from spectators, buying up horses
for reselling in the country. There
is, at present, no one class or type OF
horse that is in better demand than
another, and dealers had hard work
to hold prices without a farther de-
chime. AS it was there were too
weeks end, which when considering
that supplies weres mall, both in
green western offerings and in nearby
seconds was unusual. The urgent call
for horses for farm work is poor. and
for more than a month there has been
no orders for any amount of horses
for the lumber camps, agents from
the logging camps stating that they
cannot procure laborers at even six
dollars PER day, in sufficient numbers
to make active working squads.
During the week heavy green draft
ers of good quality sold from $4,000
$50: medium weight, good quality
green drafters. from $225@30o; heavy
wagon md express horses from $500
22s; chunks. from $175GD250: seconds
from $25@125, with some of the good
quality acclimated horses selling up
to 5000.
At the City Sale Stables: ]. c.
Keith, Stevens & Sweet Horse Com
pany offered one express carload OF
green western horses and so head of
seconds. Trade was very dull, but
prices in the average sales showed
but little change from those re-
ceived a week ago. This week there
will be one carload of green horses,
and the usual run of seconds
William Hurwitz offered two ex-
press carloads of green horses and SO
seconds. Trade was quiet, with VAL
ues unchanged. The firm tried to
hold a :ale of two carloads Of fresh
western horses at an auction sale in
Bangor. Maine. but owing to the
scare and wide spreading Of the in
fiuenza epidemic in that part of the
country. few buyers showed up at the
sale, and nearly all of the horses were
held over for this weeks sale.
