DUNEDIN HORSE SALFYARDS. M.ssis. Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follow s :—: — For last Saturday's sale the entry was only a moderate one. This was to be expected, in view of the fact that our seventeenth annual horse fair takes place on Tluubdiiy and Friday, 41 h and sth inst. The attendance of the public was good, and amongst them was a conbideiablc number of farmers on the lookout for plough teams ; but as there was nothing included in our, entry suitable for their requirements, they decided to wait for our annual fair. There is a good demand for young active draught mares and geldings, also for reliable spiing-\an and spring-cart horses, and the prospects aic good for our winter sale during show week. We quote : Superior young draught gelding*, at from £45 to £'50 ; extra good <'o.
