DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messrs. Weight, Stkphenson and Co. report as follows : — The entries consisted for the greater part of light harness horses and hacks, none of which were firat-cUse. A few draughts also came forward, and for these there was a fair demand. Owing no doubt to harvest being now in full swing, the attendance of country buyers was small, which to a great extent accounted for the rather slow

sale which was experienced for the lighter class of horses. We quote :— For first-class draughts (extra-heavy), L 25 to L3O ; good ordinary draughts (young), LlB to L 22 ; medium draughts, Ll2 to Ll6 ; aged draughts, L 6 to LlO ; good backs and harness horses, LI 2 to Ll6 ; medium hacks and harness horses, L 7 to L 9 ; light and inferior hacks and harness hoisei, L 2 10a to L 5.
