REDUCTION OF FARM STOCK.
RAILWAY SERVICES bYERTAXED. Some hundreds of sheep for the freezing worts pass through Palmerston ■ North daily (says our Correspondent), aud railway authorities, according' to breeders : statc>mcnts,' are' experiencing difficulty in providing sufficient truck's.' ' ■ . ;V Recently' a shortage of trucks was' reported from Feilding. What has apparently hap-poiied-.is I 'that farmers, hard pushed by the drought, have been sending in unusually large numbers of stock for carriage to .Wellington at rather short notice. From- the Government Rdilway Office wo 'are informed ' that tho rolling stock is - ample for the requirements of an' ordinary season, but that a large demand has nowbee.n made for trucks at very-short notice. ' Tho requirements'have suddenly got threo days ahead of tho supply of trucks. With the: return'of fnoister weather, however,' the position is expected 1 to relieve itself at an early date.
