The storekeepers of the Waikato have bauded themselves into a protection society with the object principally, wo learn, of putting an end to the—to sav the least —unbusiness like proceedings of certain quasi wholesale houses iu Auckland. It appears that it is the custom of some of those houses to send travellers round to solicit orders from settlers. The storekeepers in the district have determined not to purchase goods from the houses they have placed a cross against on that account. — Waikato Times.
The N. Z. Times says:—“ The fine station known as Wantwood, in the Hokonui district, lately’ the property of Fitz-William Wentworth, Esq., has been sold within the last few days to P. R. Coughan, Esq., of Victoria, for the sum of £‘.K),OOO. There are about 30,000 acres of freehold land, with valuable improvements, upon the station, and a small proportion of leasehold, with 30, JOO merino sheep.”
