DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messrs. Wbioht, Stephbnson and Co. report as follows:— A fairly large entry of horses was offered to-day, but no doubt owing to there having been none advertised there was not a large attendance of buyers. The entries were chiefly of draughts, of which there were a number of very good sorts offered, and oae of them, A very heavy draught gelding, fetched L 24. Although there were buyers present for good farm horses very little business was done in them as buyers' and sellers' ideas of value were considerably at variance. We quote :— For first-class draughts (extra heavy), L 26 to L3O; good ordinary draughts (young), LI B to L 22 ; medium draughts, Ll2 to LI 6 ; aged draughts, L 6 to LlO ; good Lacks and harness horses, Ll2 to Ll6 ; medium do, L 7 to L 9 ; light and infsrior do, L 2 10s to L 5.
