There was a large number of speculators and others interested in the disposal and -purchase of laud present. ■ The sale on the whole may be characterised as very satisfactory, the prices in some instances being very high. The principal demand for sections appeared to be in the Manawatu District. In this block there were 173 sections catalogued for sale, which were all sold with the exception of 12. In the township of Carnarvon the sections averaged from £9 to £l2. The suburban and rural sections, however, fetched a far higher figure. Messrs. Levin and Co. were the principal purchasers. In the townships of Palmerston and Bunny - horpe nearly all the sections were passed in.

One was knocked down to Mr. Lancaster for £675, and another to the same purchaser for £6OO. The total amount of land sold realised £12,875.
