In flic last few months, when wool ■was'at a high price, with seemingly every prospect of it keeping up, there was a perfect fever in Central Queensland for sheep-dealing, and hundreds of thousands of stock changed hands at fancy prices. Then wool slumped, and the price came down with a run. It. is now possible to get aged ewes, full fleeced, and in lamb, at the hitherto unprecedented price of 7s (id per head. Wethers have come down 50 per cent in values. One speculator bought big lines of ewes and young lambs for 2Ss per head. He left them on the property when 1 he purchased them, paying for doing so. and now he wants the original owner to take them back at -Os per head.
