THE SYDNEY SHEEP FAIR.
THE PROGRESS OF THE SALES. THE ANXIOUS ONES BURN THEIR FINGERS. Sydney, July 8. The mad excitement yesterday at the sheep sales caused several to buy in haste and repent at leisure. A number of animals purchased at 19gs were put up again and failed to bring even 2gs. To-day saw the completion of the merino catalogue. The morning's work was confined to flock rams, which sold strongly. In the afternoon a large number of animals from New South Wales flocks were offered. The top price was 300gs for a pure Vermont ram, the property of Mr S. M'Caughey, purchased by Mr Horsfall, of Victoria. Fourteen other Vermont rams from the same stock averaged £B6 5s and ewes 20£gs. Sixteen of the Colliery Company's stud rams' averaged 52£g.<$.
