This day. Successful Land Sale at Fielding. £30,500 Realised.
Halcombe and Sherwill's sale of land on behalf of the Emigrant and Colonists Aid Corporation yesterday at Fielding was an immense success. Two hundred buyers were present from all parts of the colony. The bidding was very brisk, and the land was all bought by small farmers. The total amount realised was thirty thousand fire hundred pounds. The average price of mral land was four pounds eight shillings per acre. The best price for rural land was nine pounds five shillings per acre, given by Mr Tully, of the Wairarapa. All the rural and suburban land was sold, but there was not much demand lor township lauds.
