Bat of Pjlenit Timbs Office, _ . Tuesday Kvening. ins Harvest news throughout New Zealand may be pronounced satis!actory, and notwithstanding the drought, the total amount of grain sown greatly in advance of last year. From South Australia and Queensland we learn the harvest is considerably better than was anticipated. The heavy rain experienced in Victoria and New South Wales have undoubtedly done great damage, but the yield will not be below the average. Xn South Australia the yield will probably average 16 bushels to the acre on the entire breadth laid down, against six bushels for last year. The Southern Cross roughly estimates the actual increase of wheat cultivation in New Zealand at 32, C j acres. Bast year the yield amounted to 2,3, >,OOO bushels.
