Boston July 1.-THE market was
very quiet during the week with
prices holding steady. Supplies OF
:; western commercial horses were eX-
F! tremely light. there being only few
carloads all told at the various sale
stables during the week These
however We're ample for the demand
which was nearly all local. being a
retail where the sales were made one
by one. The best sales reported for
tn week WI on carload of saddle
horses. which just now are in active
demand for the summer school camps
and which sold from S125@300 pei
head. There We're the usual entry OF
seconds, and these sold fairly well
but the whole urgency of the demand
is dead in ali types of horses. Good
quality. heavy green drafters, 100 to
1900 TBS sold at s300@375: medium
green drafters of 1900 to 100 lbs al

stables ! carload of saddle horses
and part of a carload of western com =
mercial horses. with about 100 sec
onds. The sales were quiet. with
prices fairly STEADY. This week ;
express carloads of green western
horses and l carload Of New York
acclimated horses will be offered.
Willial Hurwitz sold what horses
he had on hand in green western
with about so seconds. The trade is
hampered at this stable owing to re-
pairs of an extensive nature in the
road which prevents the showing OF
horses in the vicinity as usual This
week there will be one carload Of
fresh country horses and abotu 30 ac-
climated.
