Messrs Bethune and Hunter’s sale of horses yesterday was much impeded by the rain, but most of the stock offered fetched good prices, ranging from £32 to £57, several being quitted at the latter figure. The stallion Young Blackleg did not bring so high a price as was anticipated, probably owing to so many of that class of horses having been in the market lately. He was sold for £60, Messrs J. and D. Sinclair, of Wainuiomata, being the purchasers. All that fine shipment of horses imported by Messrs Bethune and Hunter per s.s. Otago now has been disposed of at very satisfactory rates.
