Messrs Brown Brothers and Co. report. — Owine to horses being required for shipmeut to India, Kimberiey, and New Caledonia, the market has been more brisk than for some time past. We sold light saddle horses at from £15 to £25, also a number of harness and active draught geldings at from £18 to £25 per head. The demand for heavy draught stock is very limited, and it is difficult to effect sales. We quote first-class hacks at from £20 to £35 per head ; light harness horses, according to style and breeding, up to £40 ; heavy and active draught mares and geldings at from £18 to £35 per head. We report having disposed of a number of horses during the week for shipment to India and other ports.
