THOROUGHBRED LIVE B STOOK, SALE, The first annual sale Of thoroughbred.. stock, under the .auspices of the Huron Live Stodk Association, took placein this town yesterday. The' weather was fair and mild-, unuautll•y, so for the Bea • son, and the gathering was very great, there being -not lees than 2,000 straug- ers in town. • The Catalogue • (If sleek was large and contained the `navies of • • many of. the bear horses in the eoun:try, and they , were all in Prime condition and looked well. . It was feared that the depressed state of trade, and the dearth of Money would have • a 'depressing effect ' upon the sale, `which, unforltnately, turned out to be the case, for although the � ene�al very v mod- upset prices were g , ;ally.. ,. erate, but few aminate changed hands, Those horses that wenexold, .'we thinkx were purchased at ti, low .figure..' . Although there was a'good• show of thoroughbred bulls, .cows .and calves, '!•farmers ' appeared to. be very back= ward in bidding, apparently as if they did not want to snake inyesttnents in• .this kind of stock, fearing, that stock raising was not going to be Very. .profit- able, notwithstanding the increasing de- mand for it in England. The. saute may he said of sheep and pigs, appa- rently as if scarcely any one was in the buying snood. That the inauguration cittht'S, it 1 auction sale was a good idea,' cannot, but be admitted,, but the,, condition; of the. times was such as to almost forbid the possibility of a success, financially ;' but the fact is established that•a large amount of stook can be gathered, and people in abundance -will attend• the sale..Many of the animals were brought from a distance, and among. the •arow.d were intending buyers trom 'all around. We' give a list of the' sale' as it too place, with the sem at which they'wero knocked down.
