DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.
Weekly Report: Messrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows :— „ The entry for Saturday's sale was a small one, and was made up principally of draught horses, which, with the exception of a few, were only of a very medium description. The attendance was by no means large, but, notwithstanding, a fair portion of the horses changed hands at up to Ll9 10s for useful draught geldings. We also offered the trotting pony Sandfly and tho racing pony Patience, both of which were passed in, the money offered not being up to owner's expectations. Hacks and harness horses were again very dull or sale, but when the fine weather and long evenings come in wo expect to see more demand for this class. We quote :— For first-class draughts (extra heavy), L 25 to L3O ; good ordinary draughts (young), LlB to L 22; medium draughts, Ll2 to Ll6; aged draughts, L 6 to L 10; good hacks and harnesi horses, Ll2 to Ll6 ; medium hacks and harness horseß, L 7 to L 9; light and inferior hacks and harness horses, L2 los to L 5.
