DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.
Messrs. Wright, Stephenson and Co report as follows :—: — There was a fair entry of horses, chiefly light harness sorts. The demand for these was good, and very satisfactory sales were effected. A few medium draughts also were entered, and most of these changed hands from £25 to £38. Sound, young, draught geldings are scarce and wanted, and so are first-class upstanding harness horses. We quote : —Superior young draught geldings, £40 to £50 ; extra good, prize horses, £55 to £60 ; medium draught mares and geldings, £30 to £36 ; aged do, £22 to £28 ; upstanding carriage horses, £30 to £35 ; well-matched carriage pairs, £60 to £80 ; strong spring van horses, £28 to £35 ; milk-cart and butchers' order-cart horses, £18 to £24 ; tram horses, £12 to £17 ; light hacks, £8 to £14 ; extra good hacks, £18 to £25 ; weedy and aged hacks and harness horses, £3 to £7.
