DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messrs. Weight, Stephenson and Co. report as follows :— For the last month or bo our weekly saleß have been principally made up of draught horses, but no doubt owing to the demand for this description having somewhat slackened off the horses that came forward 10day, tbougb rather few in number, were of a more vaned description. They comprised a pair of handsome buggy ponies, dogcart and useful "buggy and saddle horses, and a considerable number of draught and epringcart horses. The demand, on tbe whole, was rather better than has been experienced for the past week of two, and a large proportion •of the horses offered found new owners. Draught horses, ready for

work, were in fair request, and a number were bought for ploughing purpose.
