Dunedin Horse Saleyards.

Messrs. "Wright, fttephenson, and Co. report as follows :—: —

The entries for Saturday's sale comprised chiefly light harness horses of not very good quality. The attendance of buyer* was small, and owing to the unsuitability of the majority of the horses offered only a few sales were effected. Draughts were poorly represented, and had there been any animals of the right stamp offered no doubt they would have satisfactory prices. We can recommend consignments of young, sound sorts to this market, and shall be pleased to receive particulars of any such for sale. Springcarters and light harness horses, when having youth and strength on their side, are always well competed for and sell readily at quotations. On account of the Easter holidays next week there will be no horse sale. We quote : First-class young draught mares and geldings, L 35 to L4O ; good do, L2B to L 33 ; medium draught mares ard geldings, L2O to L 25 ; aged do, LI 2 to LlB ; first-class hack harness horses, LlB to L 25 ; good do, Ll2 to Ll7 ; medium do, L 7 to LlO ; aged and inferior, L 2 to L 5.
