HORSE MARKET
Boston, July 21.-The horse trade
was lifeless, with the bids at the
auctions running low The amount
of fresh country horses was very
small and these did not get any bids
acceptable at the auctions, and the
few sales made were private. There
was a fairly large number of accli-
mated ana Ordinary seconds entered.
and the trade came from dealers
from outside the state who were
picking up horses for reselling at
cheap prices while the market is
low. and from local teaming con-
Germs where horses We're in imme-
diate need. A number of ponies were
offered and buyers paid for these
fair values. also in saddle horses,
where some extra good saddlers sold
at private sale at high prices. All
the dealers have the same story 10
tell of the usual summer dullness.
with no expectation Of a better bust
ness for at least another month.
If offered. heavy green drafters
