By Eleotric Telegraph.— Copyright. I PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.! Sydney. March 13. Viotoria and Adelaide wheat quoted at 5/5, nominal ; New Zealand, 4/6 to bj-. Seyeral large parcels of the latter have been sold at these prices.
Melboubne, March 13
Official statistics give the total yield of wheat for this colony at 8,633,000 bushels averaging 7.11 bushels per acre. There is an apparent surplus for export of 1,376,000 bushels. The estimated surplus in South Australia for export is 2,234,000, so that, according to these figurers, the two together fall far short of the requirments of New South Wales alone. The falling off in oats, potatoes, and bay is also great.
During an election meeting in North Melbourne Town Hall last night a gang of larrikins rushed the place and during the row that ensued a man named Beger was seriously stabbed in two places.
