HORSE FAIR AT ALLANTON

PRICES SHOW FIRMING TENDENCY Donald Reid and Co., Ltd., held the forty-first annual Taieri Clydesdale horse fair at their Allanton saleyards on Friday. The entry of 220 horses comprised 120 unbroken and rising three-year-old colts and fillies and 100 broken-in mares and geldings, which for quality compared very favourably with offerings of recent years. The attendance was. large and representative, buyers being present from the North Island, Canterbury, Oamaru, Central Otago and Southland. In the unbroken class, competition was keen for all colts and fillies of outstanding quality, and those showing outcome also met with a ready market. The sale began with values showing a firming tendency on those ruling at the 1937 fair, and these values were fully maintained throughout.
