The N.Z. Times says that the sale of the allotment of land upon which the New Zealand Steam Shipping Company’s offices aro situate, attracted a large number of capitalists at IVtr Vennell’at rooms. The property was started at £2OOO, Mr Jacob Joseph’s offer, and Mr George Hunter ran it up to double that sum. Mr Charles Brown advanced £IOO, and at his not! tiroproperty- fell. It is understock! he bought it for Messrs Joseph Nathan and Go. It maybe interesting to note that the property was sold at the rate of £lO2 10s a foot, or nearly £70,000 per acre. This may be fairly taken as an indication of. the increasing value of business sites in this city.
