OTAGO FARMERS' HORSE BAZAAR

The Otago Farmers' Co-operative Association of New Zealand (Limited) report . We held oux usual weekly horse sale at our horse ba/aar, adjoining wool and gram stores, Crawford and Vogel streets, on Saturday last, when, to a good attendance of the public, including fanners, town oarners-, and dealers, all of whom wore well represented, we offered 22 mares and geldings, light barneys horses and hackneys. With the exception of four or five biggish geldings, and which we sold at good prices, -we had nothing of special merit. A few good useful hoa\y spring-carters changed hands at prices quite equal to late quotations. We offered a few fairly good buggy horses, but only a couple found new owners Fies,h horses, young and sound, from the country, met with keen competition, as they generally do, and we had no trouble in selling the entries in this class. The same remarks apply to spring-van and spring carters. Quotations: Hea\y draught geldings/ £45 to £58 ; lighter sorts, £3« to £15; useful plough horses, contractors' teams", about same price , lielit harness horses, suitable for exjpress, £25 to £38 ; good hachrneys, £18 to £25 ; medium sorts, £12 to £18 ; weedy and aged hacks and harness horses, £1 to £10.
