Considerable Decline In Values In On.
tarlo Rcjrlon.
Consul Harry P. Dill sends from
Port Hope the following Canadian
newspaper statement concerning the
prices of horses, with a comment:
"The horse market has suffered a
slump with the general decline in
other lines and a prominent horseman
has given a few figures with the
question. The farmers who had horses
to sell last autumn were Inclined to
keep them, believing that the sprlns
would, bring a better prise. Now,
however, the situation has grown
worse and the prices have fallen off
considerably. Horses selling for J160
will not now bring more than $125.
The reason asserted Is that the price
of horses had for a number of years
been Increasing to a price that fi
nally became too high and a dimin
ishing was bound to follow with the
firnt general decline'."
Many of the local horsemen have
been Interviewed on the foregoing
statement, to which they fully agree,
but they say this decline will not
make any change in the prices In this
Immediate section, for the reason
that the surplus horses have all been
sold ad the farmers have heed for
all that are left They thlnlc that 30
or 40 miles In thi Interior lower price
will be found.
If you see It In the East Oregonlan,
It's so.
