DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.
liessrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co. (Ltd.) report as follows: — There was only a small entry of horses forward for Saturday's sale, and with one or two exceptions all were rather stale and aged sorts. The attendance of the public was fairly good, and included a number of buyers; but, as most of the horses forward were in the old side, very little business was transacted. TheTe is a good demand for young, sound draught mares and geldings, both for town and country work, but for stale and done horses it as decidedly dull, and values of the latter descriptions are distinctly in favour of the buyer. Spring-vanners and spring-carters are arao in request, and any coming forward meet good sales. For hacks and harness horses the demand 19 somewhat dull, as is usual at this period of the year; but all the same whenever a first-class animal is submitted it commands its full value. We quote: Superior young draught geldings at from £15 to £50; extra good do (prizewinners), at from £50 to £55; superior young draught mares, at from £50 to £60; medium draught mares and geldings, at from £30 to =£4O; oped &t>, at from £\5 U> £30, wellmatched carriage pairs, at from £70 to £100; strong spring-van horses, at from £35 ia MPU
