DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

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

A fair number of horses were offered at last Saturday's sale, but the quality of those forward was only medium, and, t«king this into account, the prices realised may be considered satisfactory. Only 3 5 horses changed hands, and these were all harness horses, suitable for trams and light spring-cart work. An aged spring-cart mare fetched £25, and a six-year-old light harness horse found a different owner at £24 10s. The balance were disposed of at prices mostly ranging, from £12 to £17. Owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the entry numerous buyers present for sound, young horses of all classes had to depart from the sale with .their wants unfilled. We quote : Superior young draught geldings, £50 to £55 ; extra good, prize 'horses, £56 to £60 , medium draught mares and geldings, £37 to £48 ; oged do, £24 to £36 ; upstanding carriage horses, £30 to £35 ; well-matched carriage pairs, £70 to £90 ; cart and butchers' order-cart horses, £30 to £38 ; tram horses £24 to £30 : light hacks, £14 to £24 ; extra good hacks, £10 to £10 ; weedy and aged hacks and harness horses, £5 to £10.

MYERS and CO.. Dentists, Octagon, corner of George street. They guarantee highest class work at moderate fees. Their artificial teeth erive general satisfaction, aad the fact of their supplying a temporary denture while the gums are healing does away with the inconvenience of being months without teeth. They manufacture a single artificial tooth for Ten Shillings, and sets equally moderate. The administration of nitrous-oxide gas is also a great boon to those needing the extraction of a tooth.

Economy when practised to excess very often degenerates into a vice. There is moderation in everything. For instance, when a thrifty housewife buys a cheap tea and has to use double the quantity that she would if she purchased a good article, her zeal for saving Is <wo* fully misdirected, and results in loss of cash, and very often in loss of temper. An inferior article is not cheap at any price. A low-priced tea is a worse investment than shares in a ' salted ' dredging claim, for every time it comes to table it causes unpleasantness and family jars. There is nothing so conducive to the peace of the household, or so refreshing to the nervous system as a cup of pure, unblended tea, such as Hondai Lanka, which comes direct from the grower in sunny Ceylon to the consumer in New Zealand...

Mr. E. O'Connor, of the Catholic Book Depot, Barbadoes street, Christchurch, calls attention to his stock of church requisites, catechisms, and Catholic literature generally, all of which are quoted at very moderate prices....
