DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messrs. Weight, Stbphenson and Co. report as follows :— Our sale on Saturday was one of the largest we have had for some time, and as the horses offered were fairly well advertised, there was a very large attendance of buyers. The keenest kemand was experienced for really good stamps of buggy horses, and had they been forward a much greater number could have been disposed of at the prices ruling for that class to-day — viz, LlB to L2O. Draught horses were very poorly represented ia numbers, but the few that were offered were good useful young horses, not heavy, and met with a splendid sale at from L2O to L2l. We also offered the trotting horses Banger and Mac ; the former, however, was the only one that found a purchaser.
