Would Handle Wheat in Bulk.


Australian wheat. at the present
time, is transported in bags, a system
which involves not only a considerable
cost, but is also uneconomical in the
use of labor. In consequence. the gov
ernments Of New South Wales and Vic
toria are considering proposals for
handling 1t in bulk, based upon the re-
ports of engineers, who made inquiries
as to this method in Canada, the Uni
ted States and South Africa. The ex-
perts also say that the change would
result in large extension Of the
growing areas. It is understood, how
ever. that the steamship lines, which
have been approached on the subject.
are not agreed that under existing cir
cumstances the shipment Of grain in
bulk is practicable, though it is be-
lieved that if adequate supplies were
guaranteed the necessary space would
be readily forthcoming.
