Mr D. Macrorie, Auctioneer, reports:-

At the land sale held at the mart on Thursday, bidding was sot brisk, bat all the lots offered were sold. Town sections in Campbelltown — quarter acre —averaged £12. Eural sections in Campbelltown Hundred brought up to £2 5s per acre, and the total realised on the property was about £600.

Mr George Smith, auctioneer, reports : — My sale of Mr A. Mitchell's stock at Long Bush on the 6th inst. drew a very large attendance of buyers, and bidding was tolembly brisk, especially for choice animals, for which purchasers seemed inclined to give a perceptible advance on late quotations. All the oattle and horses yarded were sold at the hammer, but the unimproved farm in Mabel district was not offered for at over 22s per acre, and was withdrawn at that figure. The following were the prices realised :— Cows, prime dairy, £9 10s to £11 lls ; medium do, and dry, £3 10s to £7 ; steers, store, 2 J.ears old, £2 10s and upward ; prime fat bullocks, from £7, about 20s per 1001 b. Horses — Superior saddle, £22 j medium, £10 j inferior, none. At the Wallacetown yards on the 14th, there was also a good attendance, but only a small number of stock expected to have been in the pens had been able to get forward in lime, on account of the swollen state of the rivers, and buyers were disappointed in consequence. Mr Marten's mob, however, were on the ground, and were all placed, • being principally taken up by buyers from the Lake. Good cows, most of them late calvers, ranged from £4 to £6 10s ; store two and three-year-old steers averaged £3, and good two-year-old heifers the same figure. Three cows and a young bull were sold privately after the auction for £33. A small mob of broken horses, light, averaged £6 10s ; medium hacks, singly, £10, and one superior draught gelding brought £50.
