Is spite of the cry " The land for the peoi'lo"—generally, Wy the way, raisfid by those who have no desire personally to have anything to do with either the risks or labour which usually devolves upon the tiller of the soil—the price of agricultural lands do no; appear to have readied any abnormal figure. We learn that an improved farm of excelient land, near Te Awamutu, was sold by auction lately afc four pounds per acre—probably l«ss than the value of the improvements — and every ciay w<; hoar of unimproved lands being sold for a shilling or two per acre, and not by any means in out-of-the-way districts. These price? are not too hi£;h surely, and so to prove what we have already contended—that no man whether labourer or otherwise, has any difficulty in becoming a freehold proprietor in New Zealand.
