GORE HORSE BAZAAR. Wright Stephenson and Co., Ltd., report having held their usual weekly sale of horses in the Bazaar on Saturday. About 30 horses nf all descriptions were forward, and all good useful sorts readily found nsw owners at very satisfactory prices. There is an exceptionally good demand at present for good sound active draughs. In fact, there are m»re buyers than sellers, and it is a difficult matter to get horses to fill up requirements. Auy good useful draughts coming forward are therefore sure to meet with good sales. There is practically little or no demand for light harness horses and hacks, and it is a difficult matter at the present time to make sales of these. Following are soma of the sales effected privately and at auction during the week :—1 4 year old gelding £SO, Ido do £4B 10s, 1 5 year old mare £44 10*, 1 6 year old mare £3B, 1 3 year old filly £4O, 1 do do £36 10s, 1 3 year wit £34, 1 agbri geldiug £3O, 1 do do £34 10s, 1 do do £'22, 1 harness gelding £lB, hacks from £6 up to £lO.
