DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows .—. —

Very few horses came forward for to-day 's sale, and consequently no business of any consequence was done. The bulk of the entry was mado up of inferior hacks and light harness horses, three or four useful draughts were offered, but failed to find buyers, reserves being too high. A good few of the better class of harness horses changed hands at from £15 5s to £16 ss, and a number of inferior sorts at from. £5 to £8 10s. Sound young draughts are in good demand, and we have every confidence, in recommending consignments of these, as well as of strong spring-carters, with good action and a fair amount of pace. We q,uote : Superior young draught geldings, £42 to £52 ; extra good prize horses, £55 to £6P ; medium draught mares and geldings, £35 to £42 ; aged do, £20 to £29 , upstanding carriago horses, £30 to £35 ; wellmatched carriage pairs, £75 to £85; strong spring-van horses, £30 to £35 ; milk-cart and butchers' ordercart horses, £22 to £29 ; tram horses, £12 to £18 ; light hacks, £10 to £16 ; extra good hacks, £20 to £26 ; weedy and aged hacks and harness horses, £3 to £8.
