Ashburton Guardian Office, Saturday afternoon. Mr T. Bullock reports on the horse ma>ket for the week ending Saturday, February 14 : On account of harvest operations very few horses have been brought forward during the last three weeks. There have been several enquiries for young medium draughts of a good description, and those offered have realised fall market rates ; but for inferior horses of all descriptions there are few buyers, but I have no doubt as the time approaches for ploughing for wheat, aged and other medium draughts will be mote saleable. —Timber: On Thursday, 12th instant, I held a clearing sale of a large quantity of timber and other building materials on account of Mr A. Tapper, who is relinquishing the Ashburton branch of his business.
