j "V7e hare files to the 29th September. The i Times of that date contains no report. Same ! journal, of 2Sth, reports as follows : — | The attention' of the trade has been chiefly I occupied to-day with Messrs. Tickle and Co.'s i large" clearing sale, at the rooms of M'Landress, Hepburn, and Co. The attendance -was good, and rhe bidding spirited. Only half the catalogue was got. through ; the remaining half will be offered on Thursday. The prices obtained to-day may ' be considered on the whole satisfactory ; but the ! articles sold were too numerous to enable us to | give a detailed report Flour : The Melbourne j advices to hand to-daj, indicating an advance to | £26 in mat. market, are likely to affect the article I favorably here. I A ver'v large attendance of squatters and others ! interested in station property was attracted to the j Provincial Hotel to-day on the occasion of the i auction =ale by Messrs. "Wright, Robinson and Co., of two very fine stations belonging to the assignees of Mr.'C. S. Sax ton. After a spirited i competition both stations were knocked down to I Messrs. Douglas, Alderson, and Co. Stag station. | comprising 40,000 acres, with 8,000 sheep, and I improvements, brought £17.500; and Uighlay ! Hill Station, comprising 58.000 acres, with 10,050 j sheep, and improvements, brought £19,000. The 1 prices in both cases were understood to be the full ! value, from which we infer that capitalists still ! entertain with a favorable eye investments of this ', class.
