HORSE MARKET
Boston, Sept. THE horse market
about Boston was extremely inactive
| the past week, with but one carload
of fresh horses offered. The sales OF
| the week were almost wholly of the
, nearby seasoned horses, and they
! were bid in at the auction at low
, figures. This long continued dull
ness is unusual, for in all previous
past years, the demand has become
active the last week in August and
held good until late November. So
far there has been practically no in
the lookout for horses for the woods,
and there has been no call for fresh
horses from Aroostook county. The
dealers are at a loss to account for
tie slack demand as in the west
there is an urgent call for horses
and the market is strong at an adj
vance. There has been some SELL
| ing of saddle horses, the best of
which are sold at private sale and
are mostly high priced animals.
! Amongst the seasoned horses offered
were some good conditioned horses,
but the larger percent was in hors-
es that had seen hard service.
Nominally, heavy green drafters,
| 100 to 1900 lbs. sold at $500 a $3.50
per head. with those of 1850 to 100
lbs. at 5000 q $3.50; green wagon
| horses 1900 to 1400 lbs. at s165 q
| 5000. Seasoned horses in good con-
| dition, all weights, sold from sl25 a
1925. with blemished horses at SIS
! q $780,
J. c.. Keith sold at his Brighton
| stables 50 head of seasoned horses
! to a slow demand at low figures.
! This week there is no expectation
| of any fresh horses arriving and
