DUNBDIN HORSE SALE YARDS Messrs. Wright, Seephonson and Co report as follows :— There was a moderate entry of horses for this week's sale, only some nine or ten medium draughts and about a score of useful hacks and harness horses being forward. There was a fair attendance, and, considering the class of horses in the yard, good business was done. Most of the draughts changed hands at from £25 to £37, and nearly all the light horses found new owners. There is a good all round demand at the present time for horses. There are buyers in the market for powerful cart geldings, four to seven years old, at from £42 to £50, and extra good sorts would bring even more than the last-named figure. We quote: Superior young draught geldings, £45 to £50 ; extra good, prize horses, £52 to £55 ; medium draught mares and geldings, £35 to £44 , aged do, £20 to £30 , upstanding carriage horses, £30 to £35 ; well-matched carriage pairs, £70 to £80 , strong spring-van horses. £30 to £35 ; milk-cart and butchers' order-cart horses, £18 to £25 , tram horses, £12 to £L 6 ; light hacks. £9 to £15 ; extra good hacks, £18 to £27 ; weedy and aged hacks and harness horses, £4 to £7.
