DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messes. Weight, Stephenson and Co. report as follows :—: —

Our sale on Sa'uiday was made up chitfly of town and dealer's lots, and as tnere were no country horses advertised, the Bale was poorly attended. Draught and springcart horses were the sorts for which most inquiry wan made, and we have no doubt consignments of th se would fetch good values. Light harness horses and hacks were a drug, and we do not sue any prospect of an improvement in values of these until warmer weather s.'ts in. We quote: Firstclass draughts (extra heavy), L 25 to L3O ; good ordinary draughts (young). LlB to L 22 ; m dium draughts, Ll2 to Ll6 ; aged draughts, L 6 to LlO ; good hacus anl barn«Pß horses, Ll2 to Ll6 ; medium do, L 7 to L 9 ; light and inferior do, L 2 10s to L 5.
