Toronto; couldn't Sell them there and had -to ship them to Detroit. That- is not _-right. I know the gentleman,re- ferred to.. He shipped a load of most- ly speed horses into Toronto. I was in the barn there, when he brought: them in. He stayed in Toronto about ' two weeks, at the end of which time, he personally told me, he had nearly the original price of all of them in cash, and to make up the remainder of their value had traded them for a better lot of horses. I . I do most remember of a carload of horses being shipped' `across the line during .the ve years I `have been in Toronto. " Here is a_.letter .which` appeared in A The Stratfonrd Herald from` a man named Mr;Ch-arles Brothers, who buys horses from the farmers,`_and. who, un- 3 like Mr. Yeagher, whose letter wasi published in_ The Examiner of recent da.te,_is a man rwho`.deals' in horses the farmer has to sell and not a few hackney high stoppers for New .York Home Shows. This is the way Mr. Charles Brothers, of Stratford `puts the question. a ` How Farmers `Stand to 'I.ose-'-Horse Dealer : Letter.

S. market, they would not have us, ahd compelled us to seek I . out our own market. Let them seek. elsewhere. C` .--- Two` weeksmago, Ed. Dingenan -of Maplewood and myself shipped a can load of horses from` St'ratford.- The Perth farmer got $306 apiece on an average for every one. What better market does he want than that? ,,,- -__...._ -.-u. Another case, Mr. Gardhouse of Weston, was in Vancouver last year judging horses. While there" he got" an order to buy s__ever,a.l loads` of horses. He bought two loads around Weston and Toronto, paying from ` $600 to $1000 a team for them. `He then`-paid lexpress charges (not freight) of $1800 on two cars, and shipped them to Van- couver. He could have gotten two freight cars for $700, but instead he chose express cans at $1800. Where is the market elsewhere than in Canada that could stand -this? . If 'horses'can be bought fpt $245 inl the U. S., `how is reciprocity going to affect the Canadian farmer and horse raiser? '. Simply this--his price will drop to that level and he will he get- ting from $25 -to $75 less for every horse he raises. The load from Lucan cost him $312 each, and there was no duty. The duty amounted to -about $50 on each horse. That means without a duty those horses could be landed in Can- ada; for $245 each, as opposedto the $312 Lucan horses. V he load ;)vf`;1;)v1':.es from St. `Louis cost Mt; Moyes $295 each; This in- cluded the duty. - V ` I l- The load from St. Louis was by all means the best `nished bunch of horses`. However, I do not say they were the best. We all know that it is that which lls the e3'e5that sells. and I do not think the Canadian. horse has to stand down for any horse, as ~1-egards excellency.
