Tennis fans report a run of luck with two teams winning matches at Neares on May 23. Euchareena suffered a home defeat on Sunday. Local life includes returning travelers from Sydney, a flu case at Allanville Hospital, a vaudeville show with poor attendance, a quiet polling day with about eighty votes, and many residents catching rabbits during recent weeks.
The United Kingdom exported 38 626 000 lb of tops in 1947, up from 1938 by 6 066 000 lb, with worsted fabrics reaching 75 874 000 square yards. Employment rose 33 percent in late 1947 but stayed below prewar levels, while continental mills showed strong recovery and Japan, India, and China expanded wool trade. American consumption remained key, Canada emerged as a major buyer, and Australian wool and meat markets faced drought and stock adjustments. Wool stocks declined as consumption outpaced production, with notable shifts in New South Wales sheep weights and earnings per sheep. Beef exports rose, but cattle breeding and fattening must grow to sustain export demand.
