The significance to bo drawn from this sale is that confidence exists in the future of the dominion, and that large holders would be conferring a boon upon the district if they were to sub-divide and place a portion of their properties in "the market,' Notwithstanding the industrial crisis, there is a keen demand for improved ©state, and it would be in the interests of all concerned if private owners were to voluntarily sub-d;vide. Failing this, it will be incumbent upon the Government to bring pressure to bear.
