HEAVY STOCK SUPPLIES.
The pastoralists of New South Wales
arc getting anxious about the fate of
their live stock, and view the outlook
with some concern, as the dry weather
appears to have set in with a vengeance.
Many of them are (says the Sydney
“Daily Telegraph”) endeavoring to get
their stock to market with as little de
lay as possible. At Thursday’s sale there
were over 51,000 sheep and lambs for
word, which, however, was the only «nle ■
during the week, as last Monday was ob- l
served as a holiday. Out of that total
there was 15, OGG lamle, being the heavi
est supply for a long time past, and
consisting largely of suckers, many of
them being small and light, a sure sign
of bad times. There were over 1540 cat
tle yarded, which was a good deal be
low the 1703 that had lcen drawn for.
Although the supplies were so large, the
demand was good for prime stock at
values that showed no quotable change
on late rates, other sorts, which were in
over-supply, being lower. There are suf
| ficient trucks ordered for next week for
over 90,000 sheep and 2500 cattle.
