! Gore Horse Market. Wright, Stephenson and Co., report as follows: We held our usual weekly sale on Saturday. The attendance was a largo one, but our ontry was very poor. Tho majority of tho horses offered were of tho stale and aged class, for which there is little or no demand. Buyers were plentiful for hacks and harness horses, and we succeeded in making a few good sales at up to Lls 10s. Enquiries were also made for useful draughts and springvanners, but, as none were ferward, intending buyers had to go away disappointed. Wo can, with coufidonce, urgo consignments of this class. On Saturday, 16th March, we shall offer, on account of Mr J. It. M'Kenzio, Clinton, a batch of some 25 thoroughbreds, hackneys, and harness horses, full particulars of which will be duly advertised.
