Buyers from across the South crowded Columbia as mules aged two to six years commanded high prices. Top offers reached 500 dollars for a pair and 280 for a single, with war, cotton, and sugar plantation work in mind. Nearly 200 mules were handled, nine loads shipped to cities including Nashville and New Orleans, and Moore & Son and other firms reported active trading and high values despite some scrubby stock.
