OTACxO FARMERS' HORSE BAZAAR.

The Otago Farmers' Co-operative Association of New Zealand (Limited) report : We held our weekly sale o(n Saturday last at our horse bazaar, adjoining wool and grain stores, Crawford and Vogel streets. There was a good attendance of the public, and a fair entry of horses, 20 of all so-rts coming lAnder the auctioneer's notice. In draughts only four or five came forward, and these being only medium sorts did not command much attention, and in order to effect sales owners had to make up their minds to accept prices considerably under their expectations. The demand for really good cart mares and geldings is very strong for botlh town and country work. Van and spring-carters axe also in requse&t, and any country cansig\nments are siure to meet a good sale. Light harness horses suitable for expiess and order carts are wanted, and a number of these can be placed at good values. A few strong nice-moving Wjuggyi geldings would be easily placed. We quote : FLrst-clabS draught mares and geldings, £48 to £55 ; fhow maicx and . geldings, £55 to £65; useful, young, sotinld farm horses, £38 to £42 ; active van sorts, £32 to £42 ; order-carters, £25 to £28 ; expresis sorts, a shade higher ; buggy horses, really good sorts and quiet, £23 to £35.
