On Monday, tho 15th July, I held A clearing sale at Mr T, Hughes', Pahiatua. Tho lines consisted of household furniture, effects, farm produce and poultry. There was a good attendance of the public. Bidding for most of the lots was spitited, which resulted in eyery line being sold at fair values. The poultry was specially competed for ' At my Pahiatua stock sale, which was held on Tuesday, July 16th, some of the lines of young cattle advertised did nqt cpme forward,but was made up by other dairy stock being yarded.
