DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and- Co. report as follows : For Saturday's sale we had a fair -entry of horses, ' hacks and—harness sorts especially being well represented. Buyers, both town and country, • were in the yard on the look-out for good, active, staunch -draughts, and consequently any of this description on offer were easily disposed of at very full rates. Aged and done animals, on the other hand, were rather hard to qxiit, and prices' for such were in favor of the buyer. During the week we have sold a large number of draughts at prices' ranging up to £45, and for light harness horses at up to £20 10s. On Friday, 22nd inst., we shall hold our annual harvest sale, for which we have a large entry of draughts and springcarters, and the prospects of a good sale are bright. We quote: > _
