HORSES FOR NORTH ISLAND
SUBSTANTIAL PURCHASE
With the gradual decline in values of farm horses in the South Island, due to the demand for tractors, which have made marked inroads into the work of the farm during the year, an export movement has now started to the North Island, where values have not depreciated to the same extent. This was exemplified last week when buyers from Wairarapa and Manawatu came to Canterbury and made substantial purchases. More than 30 draught horses were selected, practically all of which were mares, and these were shipped'this week to the North Island by the s.s. Wahine from Lyttelton from the agents, the National Mortgage and Agency Company, Ltd.
