Dunedin Horse Saleyards.

Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows : — Having to utilise our saleyard for the display of wool, we held this week's sale at Power's livery stables, Maclaggan street. There was a good entry of horses, both draughts and light — most of them of useful class — but buyers were not plentiful ; indeed, they were very Bcarce, and but little business was transacted. This was probably due, to some extent at all events, to the fact that no public intimation had been made by the vendors as to what they were bringing forward for the sale. Next Saturday we shall offer abput fifty draught mares and geldings, spring carters, also buggy and harness horses, including consignments from New South Wales, North Canterbury, and elsewhere. The consignments include a fine lot of. useful farm horses. We quote as follows : — Superior young draught geldings. L4O to L 45 ; extra good prize horses, L 46 to LSO ; medium draught mares and geldings, L3O to L3B ; aged do, L2O to L 27 ; upstanding carriage horses, L 25 to L3O ; well-matched carriage pairs, LSO to L6O ; strong spring van horses, L 22 to L2B ; milk cart and butchers' order cart horses, Lls to L2O ; tram horses, L 8 to Ll2 ; light hacks, L 6 to LlO ; extra good do, Lls to L 25 ; weedy and aged hacks and harness horses, L 2 to L 5.
