Messrs Guinness and LeCren, Limited, report having held their usual monthly horse sale at tStudholme Junction on Thursday, at which the entries comprised 58 broken and unbroken draughts and light horses. Considering that farmers were all busy getting crops sown, there was a very fair attendance of buyers, and a very successful sale resulted.. Young draughts, either broken or unbroken, were in strong demand and met a ready sale at increased prices. In fact, for good young working horses the demand was in excess of the supply, and the agents have clients who were unable to fill their requirements. Shie prices were as follows : Draughts : Gelding, 6 years, £4O ; mare, 8 years, £3l; mare, 4 years, £34: .10s; gelding, 6 years, £3810s; mare, 6 years, £24 10s ; mare, 8 VKars, £3O ; gelding, 7 years, £2O ; mare, 8 years, £4O 10s ; 1 unbroken colt, 2 years, £2l ; 1 unbroken filly, 2 years, £33 ; aged sorts realised from £24 10s to £l2 10s ; spring carters, £24 10s; hacks and harness horses, £2l ss, £2l, £25, £l4, £9 10s, £7 10s.
