OTAGO FARMERS' HORSE BAZAAR. The Otago Farmers' Co-operative Association of New Zealand (Limited), report :— For Saturday's sale 34 hordes came forward. Included in this number were a few good sorts of lorry and plough geldings and mares from Palmerstion, Henley, and the Taicri All of these lots changed hands at very satisfactory prices. The team advertised on account of Messrs. Keast Bros met wLth good competition for the young and fresh geldings, but those showing signs of heavy work were not so keenly sought after, and two or three of them were withdrawn, prices ottered not being up to owners' expectations Several nice \an and sip ring-carters met with spirited bidding, and found new owners at figures satisfactory to 1 lie \cndors A fair number of hackney and buggy horses were well in demand, and a good business was also done in this class T>he demand for young sound draught mares and geldings and light harness hotses continues good. Quotations : Heavy draught geldings, £16 to £s>B ; lighter sorts, £37 to £45 ; useful plough horses, contractors'teams, about same price ; light harness horses, suitable for express, £25 to £28 ; good liaekneys, £18 to £25 ; medium sorts, £12 to £18.
