LIVE STOCK DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and Co., report as follows :— As was only to be looked for after the previous day's successful spring sale, the entry for our weekly sale on Saturday was small. However, the quality of the horses on the whole was decent, both in draught and 'light sorts. The attendance, too, was unusually good, being much ■ larger than is .customary after a special sale, and "it included a number of buyers who did not get their wants supplied the day before. Draughts suitable for the requirements of these clients sold readily at prices ranging from £40 to £48, the fatter price being obtained for a rather nice five-year-old gelding. There was also a keen inquiry for light hamness sorts' iff youn-a; and reliable, and a few found new owners at up to £20.
