Commercial.
Messrs Williams and Kettle, Limi ted, report having held the first of their horse fairs at Waipukurau on Tuesday, when they conducted one of the most successful sales ever held in Hawke’s Bay. The catalogue com prised 170 horses, of which over 100 were draughts, chiefly of a very at tractive, useful kind. A larger num ber of buyers and others were pres ent, including southerners and north erners. Bidding opened briskly, and continued good all through the draughts, a heavy clearance being effected at prices highly satisfactory to settlers. Hacks and harness horses, horses of useful and good kinds met ready sale. Heavy young shafters from £4O to £SO, waggon sorts from £35 to £4O, plough horses (medium weight) £25 to £32, bus sorts from £ls to £27, hacks up to £2O, trap horses from £lO to £ls, small and weedy sorts from £3 to £B.
