DUNEDIN HORSE SAL*EYARDS.

Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as fellows :

For Saturday's sale there was only a small entry, composed, with one or two exceptions, of a rather' inferior class of animals. The attendance of the public was only fair, due no doubt to no fresh country consignments being advertised. Consequently business was limited. All classes of horses are "wanted in Dunedin at the present time, and 1 ' any country consignments coming forward are eagerly com- , peted for and realise full market value. Draughts fit for town carriers and contractors are very scarce; in fact, Dunedin has noij yet been so bare of such animals for a very long time, and we would recommend vendors having such for sale to send them to our weekly auction. Springcarters and spring-vanners are also "wanted. We quote: Superior young draught geldings, atfrom £45 to £50; extra good do prize-winners, at from £50 to £55; superior young draught mares, at from £50 to £60; medium draught mares and geldings, at from £30 to £40; aged do, at from £15 to £20; well-matched carriage pairs, at from £70 to £100; strong spring-van horses, at from £25 to £30; milkcart and butchers' order-cart horses, at from , £18 to £35; light hacks, at from £8 to £13; extra good hacks and harness horses, at from £13 to £25; weedy and good do, at from £5 to £7.
