BUSINESS IMPROVED.

INQUIRY FOR FARMS. SEVERAL CHANGE HANDS. The representative of a Hamilton land agency speaking lo a Times reporter 10-day, slated thai- lliere is an , increasing inquiry for Waikato farms, several of which have changed hands during the past two or llircc weeks '.it satisfactory prices. Fanners show little disposition lo sell, however, and appear determined lo hold on. A day's canvass in one district disclosed Hint only two were willing to dispose ><l' their holdings and fanners generally seemed satisfied with their prospects. The representative expressed the opinion that the hard times through which we have passed have given an impetus to better farming, and many of the smaller holdings arc responding liberally to the treatment, and the excellent results obtained tend to reconcile the husbandman to his lot. The representative added'that things in the district are certainly looking up—there is a distinct improvement.

Replying lo a query regarding house p-operty, the .pressman was informed that there is an improved inquiry, but prices offered are not in keeping with the values that ruled a year or two ago.
