COMING LAND SALES.

To-day, at noon, Messrs. Stevens and Gorton will offer for sale, at the Denbigh Sale -yards, Feilding, five hundred and ninety-seven acres of rich level, land, situated within about four miles of the Halcombe Station, and close to the Makt'no metalled road. The property will .be disposed of either m one lot or separately to suit the purchasers, and the well-known richness of the soil, together with the close contiguity to a railway-station, marks it out as a splendid investment for small farmers with limited capital ; the title being under ',thf(,|Jand, Transfer Act. At the same time 'and place a large number of the very .choicest descriptions of stock will also be submitted, embracing mixed cattle, cows and calves, bullocks, yearlings, and dairy cows, together with all the appliances for working a farm ; the two sales presenting .an, opportunity for seenring a faran m thorough working order rarely to be met with. Messrs. Thynne, Linton, and Co. deserve praise fon their efforts to establish monthly land sales m Palmerston — an institution : which' i? at once^ convenience .and advantage to both j buyers and. sellers. ■ .The /jiiisreasine; demand for the far-famed land of vtheManawdtu makes it incumbent that there should lie some thoroughly reliable, medium through which sales can be effected, and this can best be accomplished by public auctions, carried out by a firm of known respectability. Sales m the district m which the lots are situated have a decided advantage over those held m the mejuopolis or elsewheße, inasmuch as the bidders being men who are thoroughly acquainted with the vplue of the land competed for, strangers may rest assured that they will not be led into competition by a, fictitious value being placed upon the lots- submitted. We notice that Messrs. Thynna, Linton, and Co. pro* pose, holding their next monthly sale on the-. 21st instant, on which occasion seven hundred acres m the Bunnythorpe survey district, but close to the boundary of the Borough of Palmerston, will- be -placed before the public. The whole, has been conveniently divided into, ten lott, «fich averaging •eventy-fi've aorta, so that with : the large* quantity there would oe an rawseileni opjaortunitv for the erection of a sawmill; or subdivided, prove neat little pro-, perties close to town. It may be recollected that a number of lots m Bunnythorpe sold at the last sale held by tho auctioneers, ■stfipeh item knocked down m the- room, *«s#<** *y the lfcKl;y-purchasera next.dajf. tat^ 'franca of fifty per cent, upon the
