A WHEAT POOL.
OPERATIONS IN AUSTRALIA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received May 5, 7.30 pan. Sydney, May 5. The chairman of the voluntary wheat pool gives a very cheering review of its work. Of 23 million bushels received by the pool, 12 million were sold locally and overseas at an average price of 5s 6£d, and three million bushels were reserved for local consumption. The bulk of the bagged wheat has already been handled, including that from districts where there is immediate danger from the rat and mouse plagues. Administrative charges amounted to a farthing a bushel. When all charges are met, it is anticipated farmers -will receive 4s 8d to 5s a bushel. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
