Rather disappointing prices were obtained at Wyllie’s Horse Bazaar on Saturday, when Williams and Kettle held their weekly horse sale. One wagon, in good order, obtained one bid of £3O, and was passed in. No bids were obtained for a gig, also in good order Owing, probably, to the scarcity of fodder, ‘horses were not in any demand. Two draught horses, lately doing waggon work, brought between £25 and £3O each. A number of horses showed evidences of the lack of horse fodder in the district.
