At the Durham Yards, on Friday, quite the usual i number were submitted by auction. Competition was steady throughout the sile, and lots were cleared at prices slightly in favour ol the ' vendor. There remains an unsatisfied demand for active horses, suitable for coaching and spring-cart, and almost any description ot horse, if ot a good stamp, is saleable. We quote- -Hacks, L 7 to Lit 12s, Gd ; light draught, L"2O to 1/24 10>. K r o lieavj draught horses in Cattle : Less than the usual number of stores and dairy stock have been brought forward, but above an average number of fat beasts have been yarded. 1 here has been an upward tendency in the price ot beet, and but little alteration in other descriptions.
