SO per cwL Effective Slay 1, the slaughtering of horses for human consumption under the inspection of the New Tork city department of health will be discontinued. It is felt that the experiment has cot been successful and amogig the reasons assigned for Its failure is the fact that the class of horses offered for slaughter has been decidedly below the av erage work horse. In most cases, old, worn oat animals which had outlived their use fulness and Injured horses whlcb could not be cured were being slaughtered. The class of meat obtained was In many Instances not fit for human consumption, so that it was found that a very large proportion of the product was going to the Bronx soo to feed the animals. Another reason assigned was the fact that the general public did not take readily to the idea of eating horse Is eaii and practically all of the sales were made to people coming from countries where horseflesh Is more commonly used. In all, there were about six markets located In Greater New Tork engaged In selling horse meat. The average number of animals slaughtered each week has been between 25 and SO.

Chicago and New York, as wired yes terday to Portland office of bureau of mar kets: Chicago. Considerable activity developed late yesterday afternoon and buying orders both local and shipping continue to come In today, causing this market to take on a very firm tone.

Centralised is firm at the moment, the few available cars offered being held for 62c but we hear of no sales having been made above 62 c New York. Trading was light today. De mand was somewhat inactive and the sup ply of all grades was slight. In fact some stores were completely sold out. On the basis of 60 on 12 score, the market today was barely steady and Inclined towards weakening. A few transactions were made on the basis of tomorrow's quotations. While there is considerable uncertainty at the present time, dealers are making every ef fort to have their supply at a minimum. Receipts yesterday amounted to 6350 tubs. Storage holdings were reduced about 1000 tubs, while the street stocks were practi cally unchanged. San Francisco. More than the ordinary amount of trading took place today and late yesterday evening for shipment to east ern markets. Prices are one-half cent higher on 04 -score and unchanged on 93-score. Stocks are reasonably well reduced. The situation is generally unchanged, although some dealers seem to be expecting lower prices rather than higher and some are reported to be shaving prices slightly to dis pose of tills week's receipts. 93-score, 55 Vic DEMAND IS FOB FINE WOOLS Lower Grades Slightly Weaker hi Boston Market.
