Sydney, July 5. At the annual meeting of the Longwuol Sheep-breeders' Association, it was stated that the spread of closer settlement had resulted in an increased demand for this class of sheep.

If this were done there would be such a development in British breeds. that developments in New Zealand would seem very small indeed. . AN ENGLISH PURCHASE. London, July 4.
