[Concluded from last week.] As the demand has increased the requirements are a little less rigid than at first; horses that the inspectors turned down at a glance, when the tuving first began, are now often ac- cepted gladly. This will continue to be the case as the demand increases and the choice stock is cleaned up. Just before the war was started the value of American horses exported to Europe for the year is given at three million dollars. With one' year of fighting the value of exported horses leaped up to $63,816,500. The value of mules exported the year before war began was ?580,000.
