A few early lambs are to be seen in the Makuri district. Mr Frank Anderson, an old and popular settler of this district, is on a visit to Pahiatua. Australian advices indicate a further fall in tiie price of hides of from id to id per pound. The sales closed with a downward tendency. Among the Sutton’s seeds advertised in this journal is their Dwarf Defiance Pea, which is a reliable cropper. The merits of this tine pea were recognised by an award of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of England. There should be a large demand for these seed peas in Pahiatua and surrounding districts. The W.F.C.A. are tlie local agents. Messrs Mitchell and Griffith held their quarterly horse sale at their Mart yarns on Thursday. 25th inst., and report good business, although the time of year was not conducive to a good sale. The attendance was good, buyers coming from as far down as tlie Upper Hutt, and also from Palmerston and Dannevirke. Several unbroken colts elicited keen competition, draughts and hacks being in fair demand, and in some cases equal to spring kinds. Prices realised were as follow: Medium draught gelding, d 22 10s, trap £ls 15s to_£24. light trap mare in foal £9 15s. pair of buggy ponies (unbroken) £2O, thoroughbred filly £2O. boy’s pony £6.
