RAIN IN SOUTHLAND-
[Br Telegraph.— Special, to The PostJ INVERCARGILL, This Day. After a long spell of drought, thefe has been an average of about 24 hours o£ heavy rain' all over Southland. In many places pasture has been burnt up, but the rain ought to promote new growth. Turnips and rape will be saved from imminent failure. This ought to raise the price of sheep, more particularly lambs, as settlers hitherto have been forced to ''ush any surplus on to the market. The oat harvest will be . slightly interrupted j the bulk of the grain is in stook at present, but the rain which has fallen will do no harm, provided favourable weather follows.
