DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

i Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report sis follows:—As was to be expected, after the previous two days' sale, the entry for Saturdaywas small, and the quality very poor, on the. whole. There was a fairly good attendance of tha public, and a few buyers were on hand, but na most of the horses forward were noB of tho olass in request, very little business resulted. A number of farmers are still on the look-out for good plough mares, young and fre9 movers, fit to go into immediate work, and we could easily have placed several of such if they had been in the yard. The demand at present for young, active, heavy draughts is very good, and young upstanding spring-van and spring-cart horses are also in, request, and any such coming forward meet a, ready sale at satisfactory prices.
