The "Farmers' Co-operative Auctioneering Co.. Ltd , report: — On March 11th and 12th we held our annual autumn horse £air, when wo had over the advertised number brought forward. There was a really good demand for good draughts, and prices were equal to spring rates. Light horses were of a very poor class hardly a decent horse in the lot, consequently the sale was a poor one. Good sorts hackß or light harness were required and anything of a fair class sold well. Heavy draughts four to six years made £3B to £47, medium draughts three to five years £33 10s to £4O, medium draughts seven to ten years £2O to £3O, spring cart sorts up to £25, decent hacks and light harness sorts £l3 to £lB, lighter sorts £lO downwards.
