DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.
Messrs Wright, Stephenson, a.\ t d Co. report as follows for Saturday. November 13 :—: — As has been the case for several weeks past so it was again on Saturday, the number of really good young horses coming forward — whether draughts, light harness, or saddle horses — being utterly unequal to the demand. We have inquiries on all hands for powerful cart geldings, for spring van and spring cart horses, and for buggy and tram horses, as well as for upstanding young hacks. Sales of all these classes are readily effected at prices very satisfactory to sellers. Aged and inferior horses, either draught or light, are not iv demand, and sales of such ara almost impossible of accomplishment. The number of horses forward for Saturdays sale was very small, consisting for the most part of aged draught mares and geldings and a few useful light harness hordes from Southland. Of the former class very few changed hands, but all of the latter found new owners at prices ranging from lA) to Ll7. We can strongly recommend consignments of the horses describe 1 above as being wanted for this market, and we fe^l sure that clients who may act upon our advice will be well satisfied with the returns they will receive. A few really first class unbroken draught colts and fillies if brought in would sell well at the present time. We quote as follows : Firstclass young draught mares and geldings.
