Dunedin Horse Saleyards.

Messrs. Wright, Stephenson and Co. report as follows :—: — For this week's sale there was a splendid display of horseflesh. The chief attraction of the sale, however, was a shipment of 30 station-bred horses from New South Wales, mostly useful farm horses, and hardy -looking animals. They were all of them unbroken. There was a great attendance of buyers, and an excellent sale resulted. Heavy draught geldings for town work are much wanted, as also are good young harness horsps and upstanding hacks. Consignments of all these classes would sell well just now. We quote :—: — Superior young draught geldings, LSO to LGO ; extra good prize horses, L 62 to L 65 ; medium draught mares and geldings, L3B to L4B ; aged do, L 24 to L3.~) ; upstanding carriage horses, L 25 to L3O ; well-matched carriage pairs, LfiO to L7O ; strong spring-van horses, L2B to L 35 ; milk-cart and butchers' order -cart horses, LI 8 to L 24 ; tram horses, Ll2 to LIG ; light hacks, L 8 to Ll4 ; extra good hacks, LlB to L 25 ; weedy and aged hacks and harness horses, L 2 to L 5,
