STUD SHEEP SALES
FAIR PRICES REALIZED.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 9.35 p.m.) Sydney, June 26. The annual stud sheep sales opened to-day in the presence of a large attendance.. Considerable interest was shown owing to the higher wool values, but bidding generally was disappointing. Taking into account the recent drought and other uncertain factors, the prices realized were 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, made £lO7l, averaging £267 9/-. Thirty-six rams in pairs sold on behalf of Mr Donald Grant, of Timaru, made £378 and averaged 10 guineas. Fifty selected flock rams in fives made £241 10/-, an average of £4 16/9.
