DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messrs Wright, StEPHENSON, and Co. report as follows :— We held a special sale on Friday, on account of Messrs E. M'Grath and W. O'Bryan, of a shipment of draught and spring cart colts and fillies, ex Talune, from Melbourne. There was only a poor attendance, but the bidding for the lightest of the draughts and spring cart sorts was very brisk, while the heavier draughts were dull of sale. About one-half of the shipment wa3 disposed of at price 3 ranging from £13 to jC2S. Wekkly Report. Messrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows :—: — A small number of horses came forward for our sale on Saturday, and, no doubt owing to there having been a special sale held the day before, the attendance was smaller than mual. The entry comprised about equal numbers of draught and light-harnes9 horses, of which a fair number changed hands. The demand, however, for all classes was dull, and low values was the rule for those which were sold. Next Saturday, at 10 o'clock sharp, we shall hold a special sale of Shetland ponies from the estate of Mr A. A. M'Master ; and ou Monday, owing to Saturday being a race day, our weekly sale of horses will be held. We quote : For first-class draughts (extra heavy), £25 to JE3O ; for good ordinary draughts (youug), £18 to £22; for medium draughts, .£l2 to £10 ; for aged draughts, £6 to £10 ; for good hacks and harness horses, £12 to £16 ; for medium hacks and harness horses, £7 to £9 ; for light and inferior hacks and harness horses £2 10s to £5.
