HORSE MARKET
Boston, Jan. 15-There was
stronger tone to the horse market,
and dealers who had anticipated a
dull week were pleasantly surprised.
as prices averaged higher. although
offerings were heavy. The retail trade
was rather dull. but there was Il
quick movement at the auctions on
all big horses. Heavy and strong
horses are what the trade wants, and
when the lighter weights are offered.
especially in second. and blemished
/ horses, they SELL but at low figures
and are taken where the buyer re-
| quires but a short service. Nearly
all the trade last week was from
without the state.
