DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS. Weekly Report.
Messrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report I as follows :— For this week's sale few horses came forward, and these mostly light harness sorts of medium , quality and aged. The demand for this class of j horses is now very limited in this and other 1 markets, and in consequence but little business ' was done. Inquiries at the present time are chiefly confined to first-class young draught mares and gelding 3 for bath town and country work, and for upstanding hacks and harness horses of more than ordinary merit. Animals of these descriptiong, where age and quality are right. find ready sale at quotations. Aged draughts, medium and very weedy hacks and harness horses.
' on the other hand, can scarcely be given away. Strong young k-pring van and spring cart horses are in particularly good request, and consignments of such can be placed to good advantage just 'now. We quote : First-class heavy young draughts at from £30 to £35 (extra heavy a pound or two more) ; medium, £22 to £27 ; aged, £15 to £20 ; good hacks and strong carriage horses. £15 to £20 ; spring-carb sorts, £11 to £15 ; light hacks, £7 . to £10 ; inferior, £2 to £5.
