"For light horses I of a good, useful stamp there are still 1 buyers m the market, the difficulty being J rather to secure the . right sorts than to i dispose of them. Our entry on Saturday represented about 70 horses, of whioh we ' sold unbroken three-year-old colts and 1 fillies at from £12 to £16, useful hack and light; harness horses £10 to £16 aged 1 plough horses £8 to £12, bettor Rotta £16 * to £lß. ■'■ ;;;:,■■• .. •: ; ?{.•*. ■■; ;
