YESTERDAY'S SALES.

SYDNEY

Uncertainty in the political sphere is having an adverse effect on business on the Sydney Stock Exchange, as it is not yet clear what may be the outcome of Federal action against New South Wales. Investors are also concerned about the decision of the Privy Council, which is due in April, in regard to the fate of the Legislative Council. However, all the 'prices held well, yesterday, but there was a complete absence - of speculative elements.
