HORSE MARKET DEAD.
"The horse market seems to be dead." So said oux - Wairarapa correspondent to a farmer at a private salo held recently in the Lower iValley. Hacks after hacks, good upstanding animals, were passed in with a monotonous regularity which almost angered that most stoical of auctioneers,. Mr. Goodon Eliott. The .reserves were low, but it was no. use, there were no buyers. The former explained- that the reason was the high price of oats and chaff at the present time. Then again there was not too much green feed, and with a few other inconveniences the farmer, much as ho might like to purchaso a good hack, was forced simply to mark time. Tho present price of oats and chaff is one of the probable reasons why so many farmers are now ploughing portions of their lands as if for their very lives. '
