Big Money for Army Horses in Africa Trade
A Washington dispatch says the war department watches a New Orleans case over Great Britain buying U S horses and mules for South African service. If the court sides with Boer claims, U S costs may rise and dealers suffer. From eight months to February, 21 42 horses valued at 1 998 670 and 27 995 mules valued at 2 060 000 were shipped to Africa, boosting prices. The government may have to pay British prices, while railroads like Central of New Orleans moved tens of thousands of animals. The war department notes the 10 000 Philippine horse need adds to the strain.
