    3. HBH 1890 July 18 RIVERSLEA Sections Commercial News Herald Office Thursday evening RIVERSLEA SALES Messrs C B HOADLEY and Co report: - We are receiving considerable inquiry for the unsold Riverslea sections, and notwithstanding the low price of produce, and potatoes in particular, the yield per acre of the latter crop has been so prolific that prices asked for the various allotments are now being paid, as it has been demonstrated that owing to the rich character of the soil, most of it being virgin, profitable yields have resulted, and, had an average market been secured this season producers would have done much better and been enabled to have taken up more land, a desire very general amongst those of us who have already bought. Our Sales since last report are as follows: - Block 8 Sections 446 to 451 and 498 to 508-HAYES and INGLIS-£18 per acre Sections 45 and 46-T MORGAN, £28 BLOCK 9 Section 75-A MASTERS £20 Section 26-Mrs MASTERS £10 Section 135-D HOURIGAN £80 Section 144-R R CLARK £130 13s 7d BLOCK 10 Sections 51, 52 and 59-W A COUPER £41 per acre Section 238-C HAMMOND £12 Sections-231, 232, and 233 M HOWARD £30 Sections 234 and 235 J B HIRD £20 Sections 224 to 228 T O'CONNOR £50 BLOCK 11 - Section 139-F CHRISTENSEN £169 14s 1d Section 135-H SCULLION £238 Section 151-M BEAGLEY £175 Sections 81, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 95, 99, and 101 T HEWETSEN £420 In some instances prices have been revised on a lower scale, particulars of which can be obtained upon application to our office in Napier.
