N.S.W. FLOUR MILLS.
NO ORDERS FROM OVERSEAS. 'Received 1.30 p.m.l SYDNEY, this day. Mr. \Y. F. Dunn, Minister of Agriculture, referring to the flour mills, explained that the reason there jb no flour for gristing is that already the supply for local consumption is over gristed, and no orders are arriving from overseas to counterbalance them. except an Egyptian contract, the New South HTales portion of which will shortly keep tho mills at work. He scouts the suggestion that a reduced export rate will entail increased business, as the question of freight to the East is the refc.l stumbling block, America's rates being 35/ to £2. as aaginst £3 to £3 10/ from Australia. Furthermore, tbe Chinese rice crops are no longer a failure, and the Queensland harvest being in excess of requirements the demand for New South Wales flour has proportionately declined consequent on the slackening of work in the mills. —(A. and 5.7..
