DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS. Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and Co", report as follows: l<or Saturday's sale there was a rather poor entry ot horses both m respect to number and quality. The attendance of the public was very good, and included several buyers on the look-out for first-class draughts fit for town work, but as our entry did not include any of this description very little business was done. The demand for second-class draughts is very slack indeed, but there -are still good buyers for really first-class youne mares and geldings, heavy and staunch, and we can recommend vendors liaying such for sale to try our market Good young upstanding spring-cart and spring-van horses are also scarce, and any coming forward are easily placed at full rates.
