DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messus. Wright, Stephenbon and Co. report as follows : — The t orses offered to day, with the exception of one of two very nice draught geldings, were of a mixed description, and as there had been no good horses advertised to draw CJuntry buyers, the attendance whs unusually small. For the few really good draughts offered there was a brisk demand. We noticed a rather better demand for the cheaj er classes of hacks than has been experienced for some time past, iind we have no doubt that now the summer is drawing near more business will be done in this description of horsep. Next Haturday being the day on which the Hunt Club races will be held, our u«ual weekly sale will take place on Monday, 14th inst., instead. We quote — First-class draughts (extra heavy), £25 to £30 ; good ordinary draughts (young), £18 to £22; medium draughts, £12 to £16 ; aged draughts, £6 to £10 ; good hacks and harness horses, £12 to £16 ; medium hacks and harness horses, £7 to £9 ; light and inf nor hacks and harness horses, £2 10s to £5.
