With all the talk a few years ago that electa ic and cable street railway lines, coupled with the numberless bicycles which have come into general use had ruined the industry and that they would never again reach a price where it would pay to raise them, the price has steadily advanced the past three years until at the present time the horse market was never stronger. Breeders who have the right blood strain can get almost any price for their offerings now, and those who keep in touch with the pulse of the market say the young­ sters now coming on will by no means supply the demand. The building of speedways in various cities is bound to keep the demand beyond the supply for several years. At a sale in the yards in Chicago last week the sale of 21 head of coach horses knocked off to the highest bidder, averaged $200.00 per head. This was no fancy stock, largely adver­ tised sale, pimply the regular day's business sold from what is termed there the "bull pen." The highest price paid was $800.00 for a bay gelding, 16 hands high, 6 years old and was bought by G. W. Leighy who is connected with the Barber barns at Polo, Ogle County. ' Ewiter Flirty.
