| HORSE MARKET
! Boston, August 2S.-The horse
market was very duh, with small at
tendance and backward bids at the
! auction sales, and had it not been
! Chat the retail sales were of fair
volume the horse dealers would have
! little business. All dealers are run
ming their supplies as low as pos
sible to carry along the trade over
this the most prolonged dull period
! the market has seen in many years
Most of the demand came from loca
business firms replacing horses, an6
| few head were bought by the lum-
| Der agents, and there was some bid
| ding on ordinary seconds for light
| wagon work from road hucksters
and this covered the weeks tran
| sactions. The dizziness is unusual
| for the latter part of August when
| there is general renewed demand fol-
horses in all classes.
Good quality heavy green draft
horses 1900 to 1900 lbs were in lin
| tied hupply, and sold mostly at re-

horses, 1850 to lice lbs sold at SITE
| Qs25O each: wagon horses, 1900 &c
| ia0a lbs sold to the best advantage
and to a quicker demand than any
other class offered, ranging from
$l50@$200' a head: good acclimated
horses were scarce and. those Of
fered were mostly heavy horses sell
Ing around 5000 per head. Blemished
seconds at $250$75.
