GOOD PRICES FOR ENGLISH YEARLINGS. In peaceful times the Doncastcr sales of yearlings, always came off in the St. Leger week. It was the occasion on which the most fashionable and extensive breeding studs of England sold their annual product. Sensational prices were frequently realized. High water mark in the matter of average, was attained in 1913, when 321 yearlings brought the remarkable average of ,564. The exigencies of warfare caused the abandonment of racing at Doncastcr, and the transfer of the annual sales there to Newmarket. In the first of the sales at the latter place, that of 1914, the number of yearlings sold was 219 and the average was ,294.80, a marked falling off from the figures of 1913. It was worse in 1915, when 201 yearlings only brought an average of ,019.20. In view of these two lean years, it was but natural that British breeders should look forward to this years sales witli forebodings of indifferent returns again. To their delight it turned out that there was a brisk market for their youngsters and things went so well, that 2S7 yearlings sold for S!,S3 guineas and the handsome average of ,570.10. This favorable upturn was brought about mainly by a domestic demand and Avas all the more encouraging on that nccount. Below is a list of the yearlings which sold Tor over ,000. Mr. John Sanford paid the top price of 0,S00 for the Spearmint Veneration II. filly, but several others sold for more than 0,000. Selling at auction in England is done in guineas.
