AUSTRALIAN WHEAT SALES.
EVIDENCE BEFORE COMMISSION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Received July 25, 11.5 p.m. Sydney, July 25. At the Wheat Commission another wheat expert and a member of the Advisory Council of the Australian Wheat Board gave evidence that previous to the Geor'gcson contract, all sales of wheat for the East were confirmed by the Advisory Board, but the latter was not officially advised of Georgesor.'s contract. Witness considered that the Minister of Agriculture had no power to make a contract for selling wheat overseas under the constitution of the Wheat Board. He thought it most incomprehensible how any person with a knowledge of the wheat trade could draw up such a loose document. The price ought to have averaged 5s 3d per bushel The New Zealand and Swedish Governments did not refuse to take the 1916-17 wheat, but those Governments bought from certain States. In New Zealand's case the wheat bought from Victoria was fair. —Aus. and! N.Z. Cable Assoc.
