DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS. Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and Co., report as follows :— For Saturday's sale there was a much better display of horses' than there has been for some weeks past, the entry including <i few of fair- quality, but the drawback to the majority of the entries was that they had passed /the most age limit. There was the usual muster of town buyers and a fair sprinkling of country settlers, but as, ' with a few exceptions, the Quality of the ho ses offered was not attractive there was. a dulness about the bidding and somewhat hard to mart©.
