THE HORSE MARKET
Boston, Sept. 16-There was some
! Improvement in the demand for hor-
/ ses during the past week. Offerings
were confined to sales of contract
! orS' horses. and entries of nearby
| seconds from local business firms. On
these prices ran low, but the few good
| acc!imated horses sold fairly we'll.
There were practically no fresh hor-
ses offered, but this past week has
closed the dull season. and dealers
are prepared to offer the trade a
Eoodly supply of fresh western and
seasoned horses in the current week.
Western prices have held firm dur
ing the summer. and good values
will have to be received here for the
horses on sale from the west to make
profit to the consigner.
Horse dealers who have been UP
| through the northern states report
that the lumber dealers have on hand
a large supply of cut wood, and that
the call from this source is expected
to be light.
Prices on last weeks sales were
hardly normal. God acclimated hor-
ses, of 1900 to 1900 lbs, sold at s12i
a $3.50 per head. and the ordinary
seconds sold from SIS to 500.
J. c. Keith will offer at his sale
this week. one carload of Iowa seas
ored work horses. in good condition
usual entry of nearby seconds, to-
eether with a large number of ho.'-
fresh from short service. and the
ses turned in from local business
concerns and from the summer re-
sorts.

their stables in Brighton. near the
Stock Yards. 100 head of fresh coun
try horses. This is the first sale un.
