DUNEDIN HORSE SABEYARDS, Messrs. Wright, Stephenson., and Co., report as follows :— The nlumber of horses coming forward is small. For Saturday's sale there was not a first-class draught in the yard. The principal entry was made up of spring^earters of fair quality and aged and stale light harness sorts. The attendance of buyers was much better than it has been for some weeks past, an 9 the consignmen/t from the south met good competition, and changed hands at satisfactory prices. In draught horses of good stamp, young and staunch, a very good business could be done if any such were coming into the market. We have sold during the week a considerable number of useful draughts at prices ranging from £30 to £45. We quote : Superior young draught geldings, at fronn £50 to £55 ; superior young draught mares and geldings, £30 to £45 ; aged do, '£l7 to £30 ; up-

standing carriage horses, £25 to £35 ; well-matched carnage pairs, £80 to £160 ; strong spring-van houses, £30 to £35 ; light hacks, £10 -to £18 ; extra good hacks, £20 to £30 ; weedy and aged hacks and harness horses, £5 to £8.
