The “Greymouth Evening Star” complains that although the stock steamers provide up-to-date facilities'for watering and feeding,, the losses are still very great. During the past month no less than fourteen prime bullocks, in addition to the average number of fat sheep had to be put overboard in comparatively smooth weather. Shippers say that the recent heavy losses prove that turnip-fed cattle, upon which the winter supply mainly depends, will not stand the sea voyage so well as grass or bush-fed cattle.
