Dunedin Horse Saleyards.
Messrs. Wright, Stephenson and Co. report as follows .—. — There was a moderate number of horses forward for Saturday's sale, comprised chiefly of medium to inferior light. Only a few good draughts were offtred, and these met with a keen demand at full market rates. Any horses of the springcart order met a ready sale, there b.jing a great demand for this class of animal at the present time.
