APPENDIX 
DURING the eight months ended 31st August 1894, there were 
9355 horses exported from this country, against 7503 in 1893. 
Of these 289 were stallions, against 467 ; 2053 mares, against 
2098 ; and 7013 geldings, against 4938. Of the geldings, 
3036 went to Belgium, 2533 to Holland, and 1212 to France. 
The value of the horses exported was £290,852, against ' 
£351,088 in 1893, and £374,059 in 1892. The value of the 
stallions exported was only £27,234, against £68,951 in 1893; 
mares £104,029, against £133,734; and geldings £159,589, 
against £148,403. In the same period 15,614 horses were 
imported, against 10,177 in 1893, and 21,026 in 1892. Of 
these 674 were stallions, against 402; 3077 mares, against 
2240; and 11,863 geldings, against 7535. Of the geldings 
3305 came from Germany, 2759 (against 895) from the United 
States, and 2162 (against 863) from Canada, These last 
figures show where the increase in the imports has occurred, 
and they account for the superabundance of horses of a type 
suitable for the lighter town work which so seriously affects 
the demand for second-rate horses reared in this country. The 
value of the imports was £360,913, against £289,600 in 1893, 
and £425,336in 1892. As regards the trade in horses between 
this country and North America, the tables are now completely 
turned. During the eight months the United States and 
Canada have paid us £34,150 for horses, while we have given 
them £219,081.
