We held our usual weekly sale of horses in the above yards on Saturday, before a large attendance of farmers, contractors and the general public. The entry was not a very large one. The demand waß fairly good and we were successful in placing the bulk of the entry at satisfactory prices. The demand is somewhat better, and duringj the week we have had several enquiries for horses to go into immediate work, and we are hopeful of doing good business next Saturday when we will hold a special sale.
