DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS. Messrs. -Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows :— As was to be expected after the large entry for the previous day's special horse sale, the yarding last Saturday was a rather small one, but amongst the lot were a few good sorts. There was a fair attendance of the public," and a few buyers were on hand, but as- most 'of the horses, forward were not of the class in request business was limited. For: draught mares our highest price was £51, and for geldings £ 39 10s. .A number oflarmersare still, on the look-out for good plough sorts, young and free movers, fit to go into- immediate work. The demand at present for young, active heavy draughts 'is very good, and young upstanding spring-vanners.and spring-carters are also wanted. ~We' quote:- — * » . \
