Nothing has been more remarkable during the past fow months than tho rapid advance ,n the value of the best busS freehold sites in the city of Wellington. From every quarter of the colony and, 1 from Australia capital is flowing into the city of Wollington for investment in freeholds in its leading streets. The causes of tho influx are not far to seek. The progressive policy of the past twelvo years has touched every corner of New Zealand as with a magician's wand, creating ' wealth and bringing happiness and prosperity to the people. The city and district of Wellington stand out clear from the rest of iho colony in having reaped a larger measure of tho benefits of such progress and development, and with the enormou3 area of vacant lands north of the city awaiting settlement it is now seen that it is impossible to fix a limit to the wonderful expansion awaiting the Empire City. Hence this points to the absolute safety and permanency of investments in Wellington real estate : and it can be taid without hesitation that no block of freehold in tho whole city of Wellington demands such careful attention at the hands of the banker, the financier, and the capitalist as the great corner now on the market in consequence of tho death of Mr. Robert Laery.. Terms — Ten per gent, deposit; financial arrangements of an easy character for the balance at 5 per cent, interost per annum. Lithograph plans, showing the property in detail, can be had on application. Conditions of sale and fuller particulars may bo obtained on application to' the Auctioneers, or to Messes.
