Otago flour-millers arc wanting Australian wheat to mix with the softer wheats in the making of first-grade flour (says the Dunedin “Star”), and a message was recently sent, to the Wheat Controller asking leave to import what is needed, but so far there is no reply, though there has been ample time, and the non-replying is interpreted as a declaration that no importing will be permitted until the New Zealand stocks are exhausted. If that is the position the New Zealand millers are in an awkward fix. They really require a hard wheat for mixing: The New Zealand stock of Velvet is out. It is said that if permission were giver the Austr.nl'an wheat could bo landed here at Bs. 2d. per bushel, bags in. That would 'be relatively' cheap, since our Tuscan is now Bs., Hunter’s 8s 3d.. Pearl Bs. Cd., reckoning in the millers’ commission of lid. per bushel. But it is not a question of price. Ono Dunedin miller snid that he“would willingly pay - Bs. fid. for the Australian wheat if he could get it.
