Dunedin Horse Saleyards.

Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows :—: — There was a fairly large entry of horses for this week's sale, but none of them were nrßt-class, and they consisted of light draughts and medium class hacks and harness horses. The principal consignment was from North Canterbury. The demand was good considering the second-rate quality of the horses, and a fair proportion of the offerings changed hands at market quotations. There waa not a really good draught horse in the yard. Firstclass young draughts and strong upstanding harness horses continue to be much inquired for, and we recommend consignments of good stock. We quote : — First - class young draught mares and geldings at from L 45 to LSO ; good do, L4O to L 45 ; medium, L 34 to L3B ; aged, L2O to L3O ; upstanding young and sound spring carters at from L 25 to L3O ; good do, L2l to L 25; aged, LI 7 to L2O ; upstanding young carriage horses, suitable for pairs, at from L2O to L 25;2 5; good do, Ll7 to L2O ; medium do and hacks, Ll2 to Ll6 ; ordinary station and shepherds' hacks, LlO to Ll2 : aged but sound hacks, L7to L 9 ; inferior and weedy sorts, L 2 to L 5.
