YEARLINGS HIGH PRICED IN ARGENTINA. Good prices are being maintained in the Argentine, where last month at the sale of the Haras El Moro "products" ten colts by Old Man made an average of 1916.sh,525 each, and eleven fillies by the same sire averaged ,520 each. The highest priced of the colts was Coiibri, a bay son of Campaiiilla-and he was secured by the Stud Imperio Montevideo for 5,715. The Haras El Moro is the property of Messrs. Pedro Luro and Sons. It is interesting to find that Craganours stock have also improved in demand. He is located at the Haras Chai-ad-anial, of which the proprietors are Messrs. Benito Villaneuva and Miguel A. Martinez de Hoz. Four Craganour colts averaged ,895. There were no fillies by him. Dr. Pedro Bencdit, of the Haras Chacabuco, sustained a serious loss when Bridge of Canity died, but the stock lie left behind him has done a good deal by way of compensation. Five Bridge of Canny colts, 011 November 3, made un average of ,280 each, and five fillies by the same sire averaged ,405. It is at this stud where Let Fly has been installed in place of Bridge of Canny, and it may be that he will prove an equally successful sire, for his severe struggles as a two-year-old furnished abundant excuse for his erratic running the next year. Let Fly is certainly an exceptionally good-looking horse, and is the best of White Eagles sons up to the present. It is a groat advantage also that his dam is by Loved One sire of Doris, dam of Sunstiir, and this brings in a Herod line just in the right place. Somehow or other racing and bloodstock breeding contiuues to flourish in the Argentine, though financial conditions there arc said to be about as bad as possible.
