A reminder is given of the unreserved clearing sine to be held at Okato on Monday, the 2~th inst., by Mr Newton, King uu account of Messrs Englelield. Anyone wauling choice dairy cows or horses should not let this sale pass without giving it their attention. The farm which is clean and in excellent condition, will also be sold at the same time. Farmers in want of good cows for the forthcoming season wi.l do well to attend to the unreserved sale of Messrs Findlay and Sons' dairy at Carrington road by Mr Newton King on Friday next, the 2nd August, The cows are a well-selected lot of early calver6, and nearly all young. The farm, consisting of about 220 acres, nearly all in grass, will also Ik; submitted to the hammer, and should have the attention of anyone wanting to purchase a good freehold property close to town. We draw attention to a sale under distress warrant by Messrs Wilson anil Nolan at the Fitzroy Bacon Factory. On Saturday Messrs Wilson and - Nolan will sell at their mart, without reserve, the balance of the stock of the Old Curiosity Shop. The Bale was incompleted on Wcdaesday, when those attending appeared well satisfied with their bargains. On Saturday such useful articles as an iron safe, 30ft. hose, furniture, and E.P. ware will be sold, and those attending the sale may reasonably look for bargains. At Mr Tippins' clearing sale on Thursday Messrs Wilson and Nolan report

having realised good prices for all lines. There was keen competition for the dairy cows, which were a good lot. In search of copy, a reporter looked in at Messrs Wilson and Nolan's produce storo on Wednesday, and found an animated sale in progress. The catalogue of hides submitted was, we should thing, a record for the province. It at any late, opened our eyes to see the stacks and stacks of hides and skins—it's a wonder where they all come from. Every lot put up was well competed for, and it seemed that the demand was quite equal to the supply. Numbers of these hides are sold for export to Australia.' and many go from there to Japan and America. To cope with the increasing trade, and to provide for the coming wool season, Messrs Wilson and Nolan hope to increase their accommodation, ns their already spacious store is proving quite inadequate for the trade doing.

We wish to remind, our readers of Mr J. Hemett's clearing sale on the Durham road on Tuesday next, wher. Messrs Vickers and Stevem will sell his stock utc., as advertised elsewhere. tin Monday next Messis Y.ckcrs mo Stevens will sell on the Leppcr ro-id, on account of Mr 11. Pfters, one of the. best little dairies in the district. Mr Peters has been dairying for many years, and has not had a clearing sale, and as he has had many years' experience in dairy farming lie should have an exceptionally good herd. A reminder is given that all books in connection wifli the Poultry Society's annual art union must be handed in at the Drill llall beforii 8 o'clock this evening.
