DUNEDIN HORSE SALE YARDS
Messrs Wiight, Stephenson, and Co. report a3 follows —Very few horses came forward for to-day's sale, and consequently no business of any consequence was done. The bulk of tho entry was made up of inferior hacks and light; harness horses, three or four useful draughts were offered, but failed to find buyers, reserves being too high. A good few of the better class of harness horses changed hands at from £15 5s to £16 ss, and a number of inferior sorts at from £5 to £8 10s Sound young draughts are in good demand, and we have every confidence in recommending consignments of these, as well as of strong spring-carters, with good action and a fair amount of pace. We quoteSuperior young draught geldings, £42 to £52; extra good prize horses, £55 to £60, medium draught mares and geldings, £35 to £42; aged' do, £20 to £29, upstanding carriage horses, £30 to £35; well-matched carriage pairs, £75 to £85 , strong spring-van horses, £30 to £35 , nnlk-cart and butchers' order-cart horses, £22 to £29, tram horses, £12 to £18, light hacks, £10 to £16, extra good backs, £20 to £26; weedy and aged hacks and harness horses £3 to £8.
