seotions were in blook A, All lots wore sought attor very keenly, the total sales of Ibis property amounting to L 4568. The Gladstone road estate, which was sold by the auctioneer, in conjunction with Mr J. F. Pottle, brought excellent prioes, especially in view of the fact that the sale was exceptionally heavy, and spread over the greater paet.of she day, this land befog well down on the l ; si. The highest price reaohed for these quarter aore lots was LIOB in two instances, the 32 lots offered totalling L 2394, Tais estate passed into tbe vendor’s hands soma six months ego at somewhere about LIOOO, and when expenses of surveying, making road, etc., ate allowed for, they should be well satisfie 1 with their speculation. Bpeaking of land values in Gieborne, Mr Kennedy informed those present that Messrs L. D. Nathau and Co., of Auckland, had just purchased tho section at tbe back of the Poverty Bay Club for L2OOO from Mrs Adair. Seven years ago the blook tho Club promises stand on, the ssriJß size, was bought for L7OO. The sections in Whatatutu, which were also sold in conjunction with Air J, F. Pettie, brought excellent prices, and the results came as a surprise to many. Mr Kennedy, when these lots were put up, pointed out that oil prospects would enhance tho value of land in tho Whatatutu district, and whether oil was found or not, when prospecting was going on, it would take about two years before these operations could be completed, and during that time there must bo a demand for land in that district. The total sales under tho hammer in this portion of the catalogue amounted to £2282 10s,
