Boston. July 1S.-Supplies OF
| horses ran light in the past week at
| all the sale stables and included
| but small per cent of fresh country
| horses. Just at present the type OF
| horses most demand in commercial
classes is the good conditioned &C
| climated horses in the more medium
weights. and for these purchasers
| are willing to pay fair values, but
| the supply is limited. Entries OF
| secondhand horses were fairly
large, and these sold readily at the
| auction sales. Buyers from Maine
and New Hampshire took a generous
amount of horses back into the
| country for reselling, as Is usual al
| the dull season in the horse trade
when prices are favorable for a good
exchange. There was some trading
| in saddle horses, but not Of the vol
ume or class that that were on the
| market few weeks ago.
Good quality drafters. 1850 to 1906
lbs sold at s300@s350 per head, with
| those of 1850 to 1900 lbs at $4,000
| $3.50; wagon horses, farm chunks
and general purpose horses, 1900 te
| 1900 lbs at s150@s225; .blemished tc
! ordinary seconds at s15@s125.
