was at fimt considered would be tbe case The aggregate involved by the payments will put growers in poreesnion of funds to meet tbe neavy calls upon their purse and generally apeakinz it is calculated they will stimulate efforts to sow a maximum area Undoubtedly the high prices which have ruled lately for hay oats and barley have tended to divert aome attention from wheat and thia is likely to be checks' by the high price received on account of the 1919 20 crop and tbe glowing prospects in respect to the future Undoubtedly Ue wheat outlook ia suggestive of high prices for some time ahead although the prevailing uncertainty in regard to other commodities and the stringent financial conditions throughout the world may bnng unexpected changes during the next few months Still there i no just ground for believing that wheatgrowing will be other than a highly remunerative occupation for the ensuing season and it is confidently expected that every effort will be made to plant the largcet area possible the same is being done by Victorian farmers On Wednesday it was reported that the eteamer Bretwalda had coarpleted load ing 272358 bueheta wheat at Wallaroo for Jtalv and tlut

was £18072779 comprising import direct £652309 and exports £1157047(1 thus I giving an excess of exports of moat satisfactory result and due to the increased supply of freight chiefly for the transportation of Imperial Government wheat and wool purchases The relative position of imports and exports has been equally satisfactory foe 'the expired period of the current year The trade per
