Wright, Stephenson and Co., Ltd., report as follows We held our weekly horse sale as usual in the above yards on Saturday before a large gathering of town and country buyers. The entry being rather small did not bring forward any real first-class animals, and considering the class of horses that came in, we had a very successful sale, selling all of the draughts and most of the light horses at advanced market prices. We also sold a quantity of second hand harness and horsecorers at market rates. The demand for horses at the present is very keen, and any clients with surplus horses en hand should not hesitate in sending them in for sale. We are holding another of our special sales on Saturday, Bth October, and would be pleased to receive entries. McXAT BBOS.' BEFOBT.
