DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS,

Messrs. Wright, *Sievcnson, and Co. (Ltd.) report as follows :— The entry for Saturday's sale was "only a moderate one, made up mainly of spring-carters • and^ harness horses. In draughts the quality was not attractive, consequently, in "this section' business was limited. Spring-carters were better represented, and for thtese competition was keen, and 'every one oP the country consignments changed hands at satisfactory prices. Aged and stale hacks were hard to quit" at any money. There is a keen -demand for good yo-jn'g d'aupht inures and geldings, and owing to the continued - scarcity,, prices have -a hardening tendency. We ' quote : Superior young draught geldings at from £45 to £50 ; extra good dp (prize-winners), at from £50 to £55 ; superior young draught mares at from £50 .to £Q0 ; medium draught mares and geldings, at from £3fl to £40 1; aged do, at from £15 to £20 ; well-matched carriage pairs, at from £70 to £100 ;* -s-trong spring-van horses, -atl. from JJ2S to- £30 ; milk-cart and butchers' horses, at from £18 to £25; lisht hacts, at from. i! 8 to £13 ; extra good hacks and harness hors°s, at -from £13 to £25 ; weedy and aged do, at f'om £5 to '£7.
