THE WHEAT TRAFFIC.
The Railway department appears to be
coping fairly well with the demand for
wheat cnrrigacs. Recently they have
been breaking records in that connection,
and last Thursday they reached the maxi
mum number of bags ever loaded by the
department in one day, viz., 67,034, or
over 20,000 in excess of the next best
record in 1809. The wheat and other
grain now stacked at Victorian stations
amounts to 336,457, and as nearly 600
trucks have been unloaded in the Wil
liamstown sheds owing to the inability of
shippers to secure vessels for immediate
loading, some of the shippers have asked
the department not to forward any more
grain to them from country stations for
the present.
