George Kisa reports :— The supply this week has been large, and several small lota amoDgst the number came from country districts. Bidding has not been brisk ; as a rule, only a few first-clas3 animals bringing decent figures ; Nothing but horses of good quality command attention. Good useful saddle and harness horses are going at reasonable prices. No carriage pairs to hand. No milch cows forward. In vehicles and tnrnouts a brisk trade was done. The following are my quotations during the week :— Best saddle and harness horses from £20 to £30, for one £50 was offered and refused ; good useful ditto, from £10 to £18 15s ; weeds, £1 to £5 ; active draught and van horses from £14 to £25 ; heavy draught to £40 ; privately, a young coaching stallion (yearling), for 120 guineas. Vehicles; several of various kinds exchanged hands qp to 71 guineas.
