HORSE PRICES SHOW
MARKED ADVANCE
CONSERVATIVE. C MEN REPORT DE-
MAND FOR GOOD HORSES IN
CREASING STEADILY

C. w. Brown, the well-known horse
man, who is regarded as an authority
on horses and mules, takes an optim-
istic view of the future of the horse
and predicts that horse prices will
show a marked advance in the near
future Mr.. Brown said:
Desirable horses have advanced
about $40 per head in the past month.
Eastern dealers were hungry for farm
chunks at $175 to 5000 this week.
Heavy draft horses are more scarce
as both local and eastern buyers are
entering into competition. At re-
cent sale pair of drafts, one of them
blemished, sold for S555, and better
horse than either brought $3.50. A
dapple gray gelding brought $3.50 and
a pair of draft horses, matched, sold
for 5000.
"Mules are very scarce, selling for
from $175 to $3.50 each for mules
weighing 1900 to 1400 pounds"
Col. Charles E. Walks, the we'll
known auctioneer, says the horse mar
lket tshows marked improvement and
that there is an increasing demand
for horses at advancing prices. Good
horses are selling for $50 to SIS per
head moro than they brought year
ago and there is a demand for them.
Col. Walks thinks the future outlook
for horses is good and that the man
who buys or has good horses now Will
find them profitable investment
