PROPERTY SALES.

H. Matsora and Co. report that 'notwithstanding the high values of live stock of all kinds, the low prices nilinig for cereals, and wool, amd the uncertain tone of'the money market, the business transacted by their land department has been of a most, highly satisfactory character. -The :acitdye .demand still exists to a. very great extents■ .-."We can safely say, in spite of the warnings as to the exodus from Canterbury, that there are plenty who are still loyal to the place, ■and who realise the sterling value of Canterbury lands, combined with superior climate and soil, for agricultural and pastoral pursuits, good markets and an absence of monopolies, and they, show their wisdom by risking their money and labour here rather than speculating in other localities, where everything is left to the future. : As a proof of the confidence which exists in Canterbury, We need only refer to the readiness with which buyers come to the point whenever good properties are' offered 'at fair and reasonable values. Farms from 50 to 500 acres are in constant demand. Suburban properties in good districts are also in brisk (demand. But the keenest inquiry exists for sheep farms of all classes, and we have alarge'Tiumber of reliable clients anxious to invest. We would therefore afk those who are desirous of disposing of their properties to furnish us with particulars of same. We have pleasure in stating that during the past few months. we have disposed of a number of properties, the principal of which we enumerate hereunder, representing a value of £92,763, to the mutual satisfaction of both buyer and seller:—...
