THE MARKET IS SUSTAINED. IN FOURTEEN DAYS 543 YEARLINGS BRING 07,785, AN AVERAGE OF 50.99. Only Eleven Sell for ,000 or More Each Highest Price 5,000 Recapitulation of Totals and Averages, The summer series of thoroughbred yearling sales under the auspices of the Fasig-Tipton Company, at their Sheepshead- Bay paddocks, ended yesterday afternoon with the auction of the youngsters from Rancocas Stud in New Jersey. The sale period was from June 21 to July 10 and there were yearlings sold every week day save on June 30, which was devoted to an auction of horses In training and on July 2 and 3, which dates, were vacated by the sudden decision of James B. Haggia to defer the sales of 125 yearlings from his Elmendorf Stud In Kentucky, until the September period, which will embrace thirteen days, beginning on September 1. Exclusive of the Elmendorf lot, the total number of yearlings catalogued was 700; of these 543 were sold for an aggregate of 07,7S5, an average of 50.99 a most satisfactory result. In light of the chaotic conditions In portions of the west and east, this average which compares most favorably with those obtaining at former summer sales, may be really surprising to many. It was predicted in some quarters in the spring and summer of 1905 that the tracks at Chicago and St. Louis would have a most depreciating effect on the demand for yearlings, but it was not shown in the averages. Neither has there been any apparent lack of demand this year. Yet there Is room for speculation as to what the values might have been had there been no interruption to racing in any quarter. Fancy prices did not obtain. There was nothing fanatical about the buying. It was from first to last a solid, sensible market. This, in spite ot the Imputation that several of the choice ones- In: the California offering of J. B. Haggin passed to men who are believed to be his agents. There were doubtless many bargains obtained and there appears to be some of this sort in the lots bought by J. O. Keene, Harry Gardner, L. A. Cella, J. G. Follansbee, S. C. Hlldreth and Samuel Emery particularly. There were only eleven youngsters sold for ,000 or more each. These were closely related to racehorses of high quality and, it is said, are good individuals. The brother to Jonquil brought the top price, 5,000. The half brother to Water Pearl and the brother to Teacress each brought 4,000. The price paid for the brother to Highball was 0,500, and Bonnie Star, the half sister to Blues and Blue Girl, brought 0,000.
