COMMERCIAL.
The customs revenue collected during the month of February amounted to £33,809 3s 7d ; beer duty, £1510 8s 3d. There is a good deal of life in the land market of late. We chronicled in our last issue the sale of the well-known Mimihau farm, Wyndham (the late Mr R. Dodd's se'ection), in four allotments, the receipts being £5407. Since then we have heard of a farm of about 300 acres in South Hill--end district changing hands at the satisfactory figure of £7 an acre. Then, again, Malton farm, Mimihau (the property of the Robinson family), has been taken over by Mr W. Murray, formerly of Tuturau. Another importmit action just concluded is the sile of Eden Bank, Tuturau, comprising 520 acres of land of good quality, near Wyndham (adjoining Mr James Allen's of Thistle Bank), by the Scottish and Investment Company to Mr James Linton, of O^klands farm, Pine Bush. Several persons have been in this locality lately with a- view to buying land, and altogether the market looks anything but " congested."— Wyndham Herald.
