STOCK GOSSIP.

C’apt. Jordan, of the National Horse Importing Company,at lowa City, lowa, writes that lie is much pleased with his advertisement in The Journal, and that they have recently made some notable sales, which indicate most certainly, increasing demand for the best grade of blooded stock. The recent sale of the grand young stallion Perer 276, N. x\ H. Stud-book of France, at Rensselaer, Ind., was especially gratifying, as 1 e was selected for his merit in competition with the eastern importing stables. We clip from the National Live Stock Journal, Chicago, the following: “Capt. Jordan, of the National Importing Co., of lowa City, lowa, writes that he sold the grand young Stallion Perer No. 276, N. D. H. Stud-book of France, to parties at Rensselaer, lad., and ‘I consider him as good a Norman horse as I ever imported.’ ” The ho. se*referred to is owned by Ad. Parkison, Granville Moody, W. K. Parkison & Sons, H. A. Barkley and John English, of Barkley township, and is pronounced by . good judges to be a very fine horse. He is 3 years old, dark gray and blockey, weighed wli m placed on the cars at lowa City, 1900 pounds. He s ill make a vast improvement on the stock of our county. We are glad to s :,i this spirit 'or improvement increasing in our m'dst, and it cannot help but be of benefit to the communßv.
