GOOD SALE LAST WEEK.
We had a good run of horses and
plenty of buyers last Friday—several
from Pennsylvania and the New Eng
land states. While the market at Chi
cago was called weak and sluggish, we
had a very active demand, especially
for farm animals and southerners. The
fact that our best market thus far
comes from the western and southern
demand orfly strengthens me in my
belief that prices later will be lower.
Just as soon as this demand from the
agricultural districts is supplied—and
we come to depend entirely on the
eastern city markets, I do not see how
prices can help but drop. For next
week's sale I already have assurances
of the attendance of several Pennsyl
vania buyers for farm chunks, besides
the usual list of regular buyers.
If you have something to sell, my
candid opinion is, you will make a
mistake in waiting.
Last sale we had a demonstration of
the superiority of the Ottumwa mar
ket over any other markets in south
ern Iowa. A number of horses that
had been bought a day or two before
in small sales in the surrounding
counties were re-sold here and
brought advances of $5 to $20 per
head. Ottumwa is the ONLY HORSE
MARKET IN IOWA.
Sale begins at 9 a. m. promptly on
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7.
