BUYS MORE HORSES FOR EUROPEAN WAR

Indianapolis Buyer Says the Height Standard Is Raised, and Dealers Have Animals On Hands.

Jerry Klotz was in Greenfield Saturday and purchased a few horses for the European war. He said the standard height of army horses had been raised, and as a result many of the horses purchased a month ago for cavalry purposes were left on the hands of the buyers. This resulted in great loss, as the buyers could find no other market for that kind of horses. The Southren market, which usually affords an outlet

for small horses about the close of each year and the beginning of the

new year, is absolutely eliminated by the condition of the cotton market. There is no demand for

Southern hors»s, so the buyers who purchased horses a month ago see no relief against great loss on those horses which were left on their hands to feed at big daily expense.

It is said that even the market for heavy horses is not good at this time. In large cities, especially those on the sea coast, where there

is large import and export of pro-

ducts, there is not much being done.

Notwithstanding these present conditions, it is generally thought that the horse market in the United States is sure to be stimulated ultimately by the European war.
