Meesrß Brown Brothers and Co. report : — We sold 27 heavy draught horses afc from £20 to £31 10s ; 20 medium draught horses at from £15 to £18 ; a pair of buggy horses at £52 10s ; another at £45 ; and a pair of aged buggy mares afc £25 ; also, 18 stylish saddle and harness horses at from £20 to £35; and 33 horses, principally inferior saddle and harness and medium draught horses, at from £5 to £15. The market for heavy draught horses still coufcinues dull, whilst sales afc anything like satisfactory prices are extremely difficult to effect. Stylish saddle and harness horses, also active van and useful light harness horses, are in good demand, as are also horses suitable for pack work, an inquiry for the latter having arisen within tbe past few days for the Kimberley rush.
