DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows: — As we anticipated, the entries for last Saturday's sale were not numerous, and business was .practically at a standstill, the principal reason being that both buyers and sellers prefer waiting for our annual spring sale, which takes place on Thursday, rhe 19th inst. There is, however, a good demand for active young draught mares and geldings, also for uperanding spring vanners and young carters, if sound and reliable We have numerous inquiries for tip-top, heavy geldings, and could place a large number at full market rates. Now that the good weather has come farmers are on the look-out for horses to make up their teams, and the prospects for our sale on Thursday are very bright indeed.
