DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows :— There was only a limited number of draught horses at our sale on Saturday, but the bulk of the entries were useful sorts, and, with a fair attendance of both town and country buyerß, there was brisk trade from start to finish, and a total clearance was effected at very satisfactory prices. We have numerous inquiries for all classes of horses, and have disposed of a large number privately during the past week. Inferior and weedy light sorts are the only class that are hard to place. We beg to draw attention to the very important sale to be held at Mr. Wilson Hall's farm, near Riversdale, on the 14th of this month, where 62 first-class draught horses will be offered for absolute sale ; also harness for 12 teams, cattle, implements, etc. We quote : First-claBS young draught mares and geldings, at from L4O to L 45 ; extra good, heavy lorry horses at a pound or two more ; good useful farm horses, at from L 35 to L4O ; medium, L3O to L 35 ; aged, L2O to L2B ; strong young carriage horses, Lls to L 25 ; medium, LlO to Lls ; good, sound, young spring-cart horses, L2O to L2B ; light hacks, L 7 10s to L 9 ; inferior and weedy sorts, L 2 to L 5.
