' No report. 



The above is a rather incomplete report, but it is all that is avail- 

 able. The total value of all horses received at Chicago in 1922 was 

 $4,753,350, and their average value was $150. The average was $185 

 in 1917, $180 in 1916, $180 in 1915, $183 in 1914, $188 in 1913, and 

 $179 in 1912. In connection with these figures it should be remem- 

 bered that many of the best loads of horses from the corn belt are taken 

 directly to the eastern cities for sale, being gathered by country buyers 

 who consign them to eastern dealers.
