that too many horses have been
Shlpped from the west, as receipts
have been unusually heavy, as the
western market is weak, and there is
surplus supply of horses in the
western states. Most all the horses
o1ered at Boston this week were talk

they moved promptly.
Good quality heavy green drafters.
100 to 1900 lbs sold at s2s5m335 per
head. with drafters of 1900 to 100
IDS. at s20oQ 215; wagon horses of all
