good clearance was made by tie

price, but which held within last
week5s range. There were outside
of the green horses several lots Of
good teams turned in from ice CON-
panies and coal companies, which
were not required now that the rush
of the season is over. These horses
were nearly all heavy and in good
condition, and brought fair values
Green horses sold at no advance, al.
though the western market for. heavy
horses is as high as at any time this
fall. There is still a small call fol
horses for the woods. but nothing
like what the dealers have been &C,
customed to see in past years.
