SALESDAY.

City to attend the sales. On ac-
count of the low price of cotton last
year and the inability of people to
make purchases, a great Geal of the
land which otherwise would have
been offered on the market was not
offered for sale. Consequently there
is an unusually large numberof tracts
of land being offered at public out
cry this year. A healthful sign,
however, is that great portion of
the lands offered for sale are estate
lands which are being sold for divis-
ion and partition between interested
parties. There are few foreclosures.
