LIVE STOCK OTAGO FARMERS' HORSE BAZAAR.

i he Otago Farmers' Co-operative Association of New Zealand (Limited) report :— We held our usual weekly sale of horses ait our bazaar on Saturday last, when we had a fair entry of 35 draughts^ light harness, and spring-cart hors.es, and a fair attendance of farmers and town carriers. Competition was not so keen as has been the case for the lasib few weeks. This, howe\er, was naturally to be expected after so many large sales being helid lately. We had no hp>avy geldings forward, and in consequence no sales in this class were made. A few useful light spring-van horses were included in our list, and the bulk of this entry found new owners at satisfactory prices. Springcarters were fairly well represented, and a number of 'buyers were present for them, consequently a number of changes of ownersnip took place, young horses of course taking the lead in values, although geldings, seven to ninjet years old, brought extremely good values. 'Quotations : Heavy draught m<ares and geldings, £50 to £60; plough horses, suitable for four-horse teams, £40' to £45; \an geldings, £40 to £so ; order-cart horses, £22 to £30 ; heavy spring-carters, £25 to £32.
