HORSE MARKET
/ Boston, Mass, Sept. 20.--The mar
ket was irregular in demand, being
good at some sales and dull at others,
and values were affected by the de-
mand. For the first time this year
there were agents from the lumber
camps buying horses, and they took
a fairly large number Of heavy horses
which brought this type Of horses in
to much better demand than has been
the case at recent sales. Wagon
horses sold well, and on the whole it
! was as good weeks trading as
could be expected, with the number
of agricultural fairs that are now in
/ order. and which lessened the atten-
dance at the horse sales. Supplies of
fresh horses were light, and accli-
mated and secondhand horses wero
not in excess Of tho demand.
Good quality heavy green drafters.
1900 to 1900 TBS. at $500 q $50 per
head: drafters. green, 1900 to 1900
TBS at $225@250: wagon. express,
