LAND SALES.

\VAIM ATE PLAINS. BRANCH OFFICE OF THE MAIL. Hawera, Thursday. The sale of casli sections on the Waimatc Plains took place to-day, commencing punctually at eleven o’clock. The Land Commissioner, Mr Wray, mounted the rostrum and first called attention to the timber reserves laid off by the Government in the bush, and gave notice of the sale of certain township and suburban lots next week to cash and deferred payment selectors. A gentleman asked him whether it is a fact that the land is liable for a rate of Is an acre for the Now Plymouth Harbor, to which he replied that such was the fact. The Hall was densely crowded, fully three hundred people being present. The bidding was much brisker than at the former cash sale, and the prices today will average about ;£7 per acre. A small section of 12 acres fetched £l2 5s per acre. Block 7 seemed to be the favorite one, and averaged over £S. Messrs Glen, Martin, Christie, Mitchell, Bayly, Read, Prosser, Bourko, were the principal buyers to-day. The total acreage is about 0,000. The following is a complete list of sections, areas, prices, and buyers at Thursday’s sale : RURAL SECTIONS.
