Disappointing Bidding at Sydney Stud Sheep Sales
United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright Received Monday, 9.50 p.m. SYDNEY, June 20. The annual stud sheep sales opened to-day before a large attendance. Considerable interest was evidenced owing to the higher wool values. Bidding generally was disappointing. Taking into account the recent drought and other uncertain factors the prices realised wero regarded as fair, but as the sales progress a hardening tendency is inevitable. Merino rams in some instances sold well. For instance, four special stud rams from Trangie, New South "Wales, mado £lO7l, averaging £267 9s. Thirty-six selected rams in pairs sold on behalf of Donald Grant, Limited (N.Z.) made £37S, and averaged 10 guineas. Fifty selected flock rams in fives made £241 10s, an average of £4 -16 s 9d.
