SALES OF STUD SHEEP AT SYDNEY.

We jja^ce the following, which will be of interest to shoop breeders from Mori and Go's, circular for July 31 : — The sales of stud sheep at Sydney this year lia\c been the most extensive ever made in the colony, the total amount realised daring the eight days of then* course havmgaggregatcd from JMS.OOO to £50.001). The sheep ofleicd comprised .selections fiom leading (locks in Tasmania, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, California and New .South Wales, and atti acted an assemblage of buyers full}' lcpicscntntive of the great, paitoial intciests of tlie.se colonies. Although the prevalence of dry weather in some of the* important districts of this colony, co'ipled w itii an unusually tight money nrnkcfc, tended to check the demand, the sah's parsed oil as well as could have reasonably been anticipitcd, in view of tlv* laig< numbcrot Sheep p 'lined toi s\le. Xotw itbbt.inding tho dis.idxant.igrs alluded to, tin 1 higher class animals weic tully a|)preciateil, and then; wan an e\ti<-m<'ly biKk cumpctition when sher-p of the. tli.u.ictcr indicated weie placed on the bo.ud for sile. Tasmania formed as usual the centre figure of tlicsc sales, and although Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and California studs were moie or less 10presented, some £30,000 of the whole amount realised must bo credited to Tasumnian Sheep. Queenslnnd's first appearance at our annual sales has met with a very hearty appearance ;it our annual sales has mot with a vciy hcaity response, which Mill, it is hoped, lead to fuither ventmes in this iliiection. The result of MrUeoigo Claik's sales must prove highly gratiiying to the Tasnianian breeders as alibi ding proof of what can be achieved in other colonios by using their best stiains of blood. It is matter for some rugiofc that the lcfcums for tho selected and flock sheep hwe bceu disappointing to the breeders, but there can be little doubt of the appaicnt loss incurred, being in a large measuie recouped in the future when tho vasious purchaser? have realised the advantages almost certain to follow tho infi's.on of new blood of so high a clmacter as obtained generally at these sales. In conclusion we may i email; on v, hat peilnips 38 too palpable to need this reference, viz. ; Tho importance not only of the diffusion throughout the colonies of so many valuable animals, but ako of the advantages which must accrue to the colony at Luge by the bringing together of the principal bleeders end flocktnasters of tho colonies and inducing an interchange of ideas as to the best means of improving the character of our flocks.
