Signs of Summer Seen
In Local Horse Market

/ After an unusually early opening of
spring trade, the market for work horses
is beginning to show unmistakable signs
of the approach of summer. Country
dealers who have been such heavy buy
ers in the semi-weekly auctions at F'iss,
Doerr & Carroll's this season were few
in numbers at the Monday and Thurs
day sales last week. In their absence
local bidders had things pretty much
their own way in making the market for
fresh Western horses. several carloads OF
which were shipped in by Hull Brothers
and Robert Adams, of Des Moines, Iowa
Big horses, in particular. were at a dis
count, owing to the stagnation in the
trucking business in New York Just now.
The good. shapely horses weighing from
1900 to 1,400 pounds seemed to be the
ones in best demand. and for these there
was q fairly active demand at prices
which let the shippers out n little better
than whole. Seasoned horses sold rather
better than fresh ones, as Is usual at
this time In the year.
