DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Mbssbs. Wbioht, Stbphinbon ahd Co. report ar lollows :— Owing no doubt to the number of bones advertised for oar sale on Saturday there waa a very large attendance, both from town tod country, but we regret to say that the demand for light horses, of which a large number were forward, was not very brisk. This aajr no doubt in a great measure be accounted for by the fact that tbt best light bones of the sale were very young and newly broken, and were therefore timid about purchasing. Draughts met with a fair inquiry, and all good aorta offered for positive sale were readily placed to town and country buyers. We qnote: For first*cUiss draughts (extra-heavy), L 25 to L3O; for good ordinary draughts (young), LlB to L 22;2 2; for medium draughts, Ll2 to Ll6 ; for aged
