DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS. Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows: As was to be anticipated, the entries for Saturday's sale were not numerous, and business was practically at a standstill, the principal reason being that both buyers and sellers prefer waiting for our annual winter horse fair, for which we have an excellent entry. There is, however, a good demand for young active draught mares and geldings, also for upstanding spring-vamiers and spring-carters if young, sound, and staunch, and the prospects for our annual fair ate very bright during show week. We quote: Superior young draught geldings, at from £40 to £4,5; extra good do. (prize-winners), at from £45 to £50 ; superior young draught mares, at from £50 to £60 ; medium draught mares and geldings, at from £30 to £40; aged, at from £10 to £15; strong spring-van horses, Xt from £25 to £30; strong spring-carters, at from £18 to £25; milk-cart and butchers' order-cart horses, at from £15 to £25 ; light hacks, at from £8 to £13 ; extra good hacks and harness horses, at from £13 to £25 ; weedy and aged, at from £5 to £7.
