HEAVY HORSES FIRM.
Enlarged Eastern Demand for Com
mercial traftors Steadies Prices.
Chicago, May 18.—General trade dis
plays great firmness and breadth of
demand from all quarters. All the
heavy commercial classes exhibit great
activity and strength on liberal out
side orders and a free clearance ..of
the week's receipts Is in progress at
steady prices. A toning factor of the
trade is the large orders being placed
by ice and express companies for their
summer equipments and all offerings
of weight and quality fln(L broad out
let at steady prices. The revel of val
ues appears to have been attained last
month and outside dealers will not go
above the current averages, as the
eastern consumers will not pay higher
values. Demand concentrates princi
pally on heavy business classes and
such offerings clear readily at sched
ule prices. Express and Ice corpo
rations are taking many drafters at
$1750215, with a- few extra well
matched pairs at $425@475, but the
bulk of the draft consignment change
hands at $180@200. Expressers dis
play great firmness at $140@165 and
$130@170, with the bulk of the arriv
als moving at $150@165. Wagon
horses and other classes are firm, with

THE INTERURBAN.
Eddyville People Enthusiastic Over
Ottumwa & Southeastern Line.
Eddyville, May 18.—Frank Epperson
and Frank Oldham have met with
much success in circulating the peti
tion, requesting the town council to
call a special election to vote a five
per cent tax for the Otturhwa &
Southeastern Iowa interurban. The
freehold taxpayers, who were seen
were almost unanimous In signing the
petition, and but very few declined to
sign. As a result the committee se
cured 70 per cent of the taxpayers'
names before quite a number of per
sons had been approached. For that
reason it was not necessary for the
committee to see all the citizens. The
election here will be called on the
same date as the election at Ottumwa.
Lew V. Ulrey, the promoter of the In
terurban line, was in town Wednesday

the matter of stock subscriptions.
