HORSE MARKET

Boston, July 2S.-The past week in
the horse trade about the city has
been marked by extreme dullness, with
the only high priced sales reported on
horses sold outside of the auction
sales, and even these did not bring as
good values as week ago. Few
fresh horses were offered as no cars
came In from the west. and the sales
made in this class were in horses un-
sold from previous sales. There was
fairly large exchange sale of poor
to ordinary seconds with some choice
acclimated horses turned in from
firms that were closing out their teams
and sold again to purchasers looking
for horses at cheap prices. There was
also some trading in saddle horses at
a wide range Of values. Taken as q
whole 1t was about as dull q weeks
business as the dealers have had this
summer.
lbs. quote nominally at $300@$375,
@$250; good acclimated horses in
wagon horses. farm chunks and gen.
eral purpose horses, from ordinary
seconds up to good conditioned accli-
mated horses, sold at auction at S125
@$175. Blemished seconds at SIS
@S75.
j. c. Keith sold at his Brighton sta
bles a number of Iowa horses on hand
and large number of seconds from
nearby. The movement as the auc-
tions dragged and horses were bid in
at low figures in most cases. At re-
tail some good sales were reported In
commercial and saddle horses. This
week there will be on sale 100 head
of western, acclimated and second
hand horses. McKenney Bros. sold to

LETTER FROM RUTH BURKE TO
/. LESLIE PRESCOTT

You certainly have been having
exciting times lately at your house,
Leslie, dear What with robberies
and near drownings and all sorts Of
excitement, would think you were
having very little rest Of any kind.
1 wish you would come over here
and make me little visit. Walter
is going on a yachting trip, and will
be gone at least three months. He
almost refused to go, but made him
accept. l think husband and wife
should get away from each other
once in q while. / know he's long.
ing for a trip. You know how he
sailed all over the world before we
were married, and think tho wan.
derlust has taken hold OF him again.
We have been together almost con.
tinuousiy ever since we were mar.
si-isd, and when he proposed that I
should go with him, / said:
MY dear do you realize that We
are growing into one of those bore.
some welded couples that have moth.
ing to talk about either whom they
are alone or with anyone else? II
would bo different II you we're work.
ing. and for tho last year I have
let the little shop go without much
fussing. We are getting so that we
agree with each other to the extent
that our whole life is growing into
tho dry rot OF monotony."
You must come over and see me,
. leslie. while Walter is gone. I
think we ought TO have a reorgani.
cation OF affairs at The Little Shop.
They're getting rather muddled UP.
We haven't made any money for
The last two months. Since Julia
Ansted married that young boy, she
has been little good about the place
Z I'm very glad wo did not give her
a partnership in it for think We
will have 10 get rid OF her. or else
sell out 10 her.
