Boston, March 6-There was an
improvement over that of last week
and the horses were not only taken
more readily. but at higher aver
age price. At this season the buy
ing is done largely by dealers who
take the horses back into the coun-
try for reselling. and are stocking
up for the spring trade. During the
week there was quick demand for
farm chunks. and horses of this
type weighing around 1900 to 400
lbs brought S150 a head. The local
demand was dead. not much bust
ness tram; cted even at the auction
sales from this source. As fact
now that travelling is improved,
there are apt to be horses coming
back to the dealers for reselling. Re-
ceipts in all classes for the week
were lighter. which helped to make
Il more thorough clearance than for
several past weeks.
