HORSE MARKET
Position. Jan. 6-IIorse trading about
the city was very dull in the past
week. There was but little inquiry
of good horses, and the second hand
horses moved at low figures with the
Iarger part of them cheap horses. a
Kxy good sales were reported at re
fail. but at the auctions bias came
in slowly, and the horses in many
sales closed out at values below thelr
real worn. Dealers were ANXIOUS 10
clean up their stables as far as pos
sihIe for the New Years start, but
there were some horses too good to
lot 20 at a sacrifice and these will go
on sale this week. During the first
half of the year 1924 the horse mar
lot was fairly active. but after the
snring demand fell off, the whole
market movement here has been
marld by extreme dizziness, which IS
very different from the reports
brought in from the west where the
demand is urgent and prices strong.
This week there will be a larger
number of horses offered than for
several months, and dealers are anti
cipating a good brisk trading.
Few heavy green draIters were OIL
fered, but what were on the market
sold at s300@350 per head, with
drafters, 1850 to 1700lb. at s20o925o;
wagon horses, farm chunks and gen
erai purpose horses ware made up IN
second hand lots mostly and auction
ed off at anywhere from $100@2OO;
some good acclimated heavy horses
