Owing to the continued slack- pess in demand, lewat properties have been. offered at auction, and with the exception of mortgagee's sale of town premises for the sum of Sto5,000, novely important sales have taken place. With a few exceptions, the prices have not been good, when compared with those Of five or six years ago.
