Only five or six vessels have been chartered to load New South Wales new season’s wheat crop, compared with twenty or tllirty which in normal times would have been engaged. Chaos exists in the wheat export business. Shipper assert because of the uncertainty regarding their responsibility under the Wheat Advantages Act they’ are making no attempt to engage new full cargo space, whilst numbers of parcel bookings have been cancelled Though it is estimated the exportable surplus in the Commonwealth will amount to about four million tons, bookings to date only amount to approximately 650 thousand tons.
