Dunedin House Saleyards.

Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows :— Entries this week again were not numerous, but those who were fortunate enough to have useful young light horses forward, of which the supply chiefly consisted, got good prices for them. There was a very fair attendance of buyers, and a large amount of business could have been done if greater numbers of suitable horses had been on offer. The principal demand is for superior young hjgavy draught geldings for town carriers, good spring-cart horses, and first-class hacks and harness horses. There were no first-class draughts forward this week, but a useful farm gelding was sold at L 34, and three good spring dray horses at from L 24 to L2B, a first-class buggy horse at L2l, another at LlB, and several tramcar horses at from LlO to Ll4. We quote : First-class young draught mares and geldings, at from L 45 to LSO ; good do, L3B to L 45 ; medium, L3O to L 35 ; aged, LlB to L 23 ; upstanding young spring-carters, at from L 25 to L3O ; good do, LlB to L 23 ; light harness horses and hacks, first class, at from LlB to L 25 ; good do, Ll4 to LI 7 ; medium, L 8 to Ll2 ; aged and weedy sorts, L 2 to L 5.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 96.26%.
