turkeys (small) 5s to 6s 6d; cauliflowers 3s 8d to 5s 3d doz, carrots 2sjkjf sack, chaff 4s bale, furniture and stK&tes realised exceptionally good prices. i On Thursday, September 19fch, I conducted a clearing sale, on behalf of. Mr T. Law son, at his res ; dent in Julie-t street south. Every thing brought good prices to the satisfaction of my client, and as we are making a speciality of clearing sales, I trust we will have the support of the public.
