HORSES FOR SYDNEY MARKET.
WHAT SORT OF SALE ? Mr J. Anderson, Pahiatua, who took a shipment of horses to the Sydney sales at about Easter, was interviewed on his return to Pahiatua. He stated : “For some time past high prices have been ruling for New Zealand horses in Sydney, 'and dealers have been operating freely. The shipment which Mr Anderson sent was in the nature of an experiment, and he reports that it was of a very satisfactory nature.
. . . This was all the more gratifying, as Mr Anderson states the market was simply glutted, boat loads of horses arriving from various ports. Good, young, useful sorts sold readily, but for other classes there was only a very moderate demand. A line of horses which had been running in expresses, worth, say, £25 each, only realised half their value.”
