VICTORIAN WHEAT.
j With recraril t<« tlip. f^fiilt of the wheat ha.vext in Victoria, a recent ! issue of the Ai_u> says : — ln the northern ar?;is of ;h ■ ("olmv, the crop is found to be lighter than was expected. The dry wrathtT which , prevailed in sprin" up the miodlc of October was so severe that considerable injury to the crops has been the result, in the southern or coast districts however, the yields are likely to be very abundant. The Ausrialasian, whose agricultural re- ; porter has completed a tour of mii spection in the chie f wheat growing , districts, estimates the average yield j of wheat nt 8 9 bushels per acre and | the total yield for tbe Colony at 8,807,100 bushels. This result is 1,397,000 bushels below the previous year's crop as estimted by the same authority, so that the exportable surplus of the Colony will probabiy be | diminished by that quantity.
