FLOODS IN N.S.W.
HEAVY 3HEEP MORTALITY. COLD BLAST AFTER SHEARING. (Received 1, 10.35 a.m.) Sydney, Dec. 1. The heaviest stock mortality ever known was experienced during the recent heavy rain and exceptionally cold weather in the Bathurst district. Shearing had just closed and the newly-shorn sheep were subjected to extreme privations, heavy losses being suffered by many flocks. Individual losses in several cases ranged- from £2OOO to £4OOO. One grazier states that the ground was white with dead sheep. Torrential rain continues on the north coast and many residents of the low-lying districts have been compelled to abandon their homes. The flood menace is daily becoming more acute.
