PAST LAND SALE.

Notwithstanding theunmistakeabletight-i nesss of the money market, the. ■{tie of landheld by Messrs. Tnynne, Linton arid Xjby at their Sale Booms. Talme^itoh, on Wednesday, resulted m realising £738 at public auction, and a very considerable quantity privately infmediately afterwards. When the present depression, and in* near sppsoaohpf the Corporation Sale, an taken into consideration it is certainly a fact worthy, of note that at a sale, which may almost be deemed -private m its^character, property to the value of over £1000 would change hands at satisfactory figures, and at large advances of a few months ago. The. bidding at the open tale .was'by mo meanf: spirited or couraging, but strange "to "tatno sooner had the auctioneer dismounted from his rostrum than the .purchasers were offered bonuses upon their bargains. ,W L o I noticed one section which was purchased, at a -sale some . months, since for £106, and the owner- cutting it up into, six ; partf , secured £85 for two of them oi£ Wednesday! We mention this fact to show that although, ) the attendance, was not so good as it Snight^ have been, or the bidding so spirited, the buyers, who were all residents of theitoVrn, were of opinion that land has betfo,, no means reached its true value m Palmers---toa. ..:.'.. ■ .
