Horse Market
Boston, Nov 9-The horse trading
about the city sale stables was irreg-
ular. Some of the dealers reported a
brisk demand with prices well sus-
tanned, while others quoted a dull week
of business with prices barely steady
and with a number of horses unsold at
the weeks end. The best demand
continues on mediumly heavy horses,
and purchasers buy as willingly in
fresh country horses as in acclmated
horses that have seen short service
and are in good working condition.
This past week offerings of western
horses were confined to two carloads,
but there were several lots of season
ed horses on the market and the run
of ordinary seconds was heavy. The
best horses sold at retail. and prices
were generally satisfactory for this
end of the trade. Where ordinary
horses were put up at auction bids
came slowly and prices ran low.
There were several sales of harness
classes, nearly all of which were sad
die horses or speed horses In the
latter were some young horses of
promise which brought fancy prices.
On saddle horses the range was wide
at low prices of s50d$1 for school
horses up to 5000 for the best saddle
horses.
Good quality drafters, 1900 to 1900
lbs, sold at s300q$ 1876 per head, with
those of 400 to 1900 lbs at S250G
$500: wagon horses. farm chunks and
general purpose horses, 1900 to 400
lbs, at sl50@s 225: ordinary seconds
at $100Gs195, with blemished horses
down to the price of the hide.
j. c. Keith sold to a quiet demand
and lower prices one carload Of west
ern horses and a large number of sec
onds, together with a number of sad
die horses. This week there will be on
sale carload of western horses and
close to 100 head of seconds. the lat
ter including all weights and condi-
tions of commercial horses.
Mckinney Bros. sold to an active
demand one carload of fresh Indiana
horses of l400 to 1900 lbs, at s230Gr
$3.50 each. the horses being a specially
choice lot. Fifty seconds were put up
at the auction sale, and about 80 head
of saddle horses were sold, tn elatter
bringing from $50 to $500 per head.
This week there will he about the
same amount and class of horses offer
ed.
