GOOD RAINS IN AUSTRALIA.
SYDNEY, Oct. 18

Still there are showery conditions in the Riverina and elsewhere, including Victoria, South Australia, southern Queensland, which benefited to a less extent, are favorable for further rain. The outlook generally is greatly improved, and there are good hopes that yesterday's pessimistic wheat crop forecasts will be considerably brightened.

Heavy rain continues.. The area is widening, and the Riverina is participating now. .. •
