FANCY LAND VALUES IN THE NORTH.
Two gentlemen well qualified to express en opinion, Messrs Finn and M ill ward, referm\, with regret, at the Wellington ln« dimtrhil Ai'sixiiation's dinner on Saturday to tho fictitious prices at -which land was Uviiwj sold for dairying purposes in the North r*litui! at the present time. The latter knew of cases in Taranaki where land had up to over £30 an acre, and said tho ureniijti srttler who gave that price was merely cnpitnlising the labour of his family. If ]>rk-< s went down, n.s they might do in conse<|Ueuco of competition any day, the result must prove disastrous to those wio, with stimll means, had purchased land at fwjcy prires. Mr Milhrnrd pointed to South Africa and Russia ns prospective rivals to Australii-shi in tho butter and cheese industries.
