HORSE AND MULE TRADE
As Winter Flowing Season Down
South Approaches Mule Selling
Becomes Active In Richmond

The winter blowing season is near
the opening all down South and that
means or usually means big business
with horse and mule sellers OF Rich
mond. Country merchants down in
DiNieland deal largely in mules which
they sell for cash and on time to the
farmers for the pillow. and Richmond
is the big market in, which these
country merchants and other horse
and mule traders buy their stock.
Usually at this season OF the year
such merchants and dealers are wont
TO lock TO this city TO buy blowing
mules we'll as horses from the
sales stables and stockyards. some
of which sell by auction as we'll as
privately.
The influenza epidemic has. of
course, kept some of the mule buyers
away from Richuond thus far this
season. but in spite Of this business
has been quito active, the demand
from North Carolina. South Carolina
and Georg in as we'll as from the
great farming sections OF Virginia for
the animals TO pull the plows being
large. This goes to show that the
farmers of those States who look to
Richmond for their farm horses and
mules arc awake to the demands OF
the hour-the demand for even bigger
crops next Year.
Business in the sales stables and
stock yards was good last week and
the horse and mule dealers look for
rush as soon as the epidemic now
affecting the whole country passes

CARY STREET BUSINESS
POULTRY Receipts smaller. Fresh EGG.
Ont of the Question md Business
Generally Irregular.

While the demand for everything tina I
the wholesale provision dealers and
the commission merchants on Cary and
Thirteenth Streets handle vas active
all Of last week. and while the recent s.
or such goods in the aggregate were
large enough there was much irregu-
laritE and not little dissatisfaction in
the OusiueSS--all on account of the in
iluenza. For instance. the goods which
come direct or almost direct from the
farmers of Virginia and nearby states
such as poultry. eggs and vegetables
we're not ar plentiful as the demand
called for. the explanation being that
the cpidenic was keeping the poultry
raisers and tho farmer vegetable sell
lers inactive, they not venturins even
10 tho nearby railway shipping ponts
but remaining close at home and sus-
pending any and all business THAI
might take them away. Because OF
scarcity. therefore, poultry of all kinds
was higher in price and country eggs
being nor enough TO fix a figure. All
the fresh country eggs that are seen
in Richmond now come direct from
the nearby poultry yards 10 inc door
OF the consumer. and at tina, as per
cent Of the eggs that find their way
to Richmond tables now are of the
cold storage variety.
The goods that come from other
large markets were i'm fair receipt, hu;
the prevail ling epidemic kept many out
of-town buyers off the market. and
Cary Street business for the week was
largely confined to the city trade, and
vet there was, generally speaking, no
wca ching of prices.

Dry Good. Operations Curtntred.

Inc fact stood out more sharply
last week. according 10 Dun's Ooser-

campaign and the influenza epidemic
have combined TO slackcn activities ii

unfortunately been cnrtailcd through
illness among mill operatives. Ee-
yond these restraints Of 4 temporary
character, there are other clements
tending to resist civilian business, and
not the least important of these in
fiuenccs is the maintenance OF q high
price level While it is said In some
quarters. especially in the West. that
the extreme costs do not seem 10 deter
purchasers. iobbinE interests begin to
see more clearly thai high prices are
checking demand in many lines. and
they arc welcoming the efforts made
to limit any further rise. MANY new
prices have already h"nn named by
1obhcrs in keeping with the basic
hSDrcS fined for manufacturers. and a
start has hecn made toward stabiliz-
ing values in retail circles.
