LOWER PRICES OF ENGLISH YEARLINGS. Th. -ales of yearlings at Newmarket. England, winch begin. Septdliliei U. took the place of those previously held annually at Doncaster while the SeptenUicr meeting was in progress there. A previous sa,.- had taken place at Newmarket a couple of weeks belote. The average el prices for the two sales was 190 guineas, or. to lie exact, in our money. fl.Ols.40. The greatest at anv of tlie Don ,a-ier sales was that of 1913. when 321 Yearling -ol«l_ for the remarkable average of 0S9 guineas ,582.80. in this connection a writer in London Sp rting Life gave the following instructive comparison of prices received at these since l.Mis, and said: •The two s,.js af yearling sales at Newmarket work out. I liml. at an average of 190 guineas pet-lot, as compared with 249 guineas at the last Don easier series. Th . number of yearlings disposed of during the last two Newmarket meetings shows a ...nsHierabie increase oyer that of last real at Bon-caster, and if tie general average has dropped bv some fifty guineas there is nothiuu startling in this. It appears, on the other hand, after more than I year of warfare, to be a highly satisfactory one. an-1 it. of eoursc. the comparison betwetn the high-waler mark as represented by the 1913 tiirurcs and the totals i-.-alizo.l in several - f the preceding years, is striking, breeders are not in the least likely to be disc.. urage.1 from continuing, as the war cannot last beyond a given period, aft t which prices must inevitably go up with a bound again."
