By Telegrapn—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Dec. 8. The annual report of the North Canterbury Sheep Farmers’ Co-operative Freezing Export and Agency Coy. states that the drought of last summer caused an early rush of stock into the works, but the failure of the autumn feed resulted in a reduced turnover for the season. The improvement of prices on the London market towards the end of the year proved beneficial to producers taking advantage of the Company’s open door policy. The trading results for the year disclose a profit of £7855/19/-, from which the directors recommend that the sum of £3635/18/- be appropriated for depreciation, leaving £4220/1/- to be transferred to the appropriation account.
