PUKEURI.
March 24.— Since last wec-k the waather has taken a very decided— turn for the worse, and there are no signs of its taking tip. Rain bogpn to fall on Friday night, and smes then — auV over 60 hours — there ha 3 been an incessant downpour. Shet-ts of water are to be seen 111 every field on the plain. Coming on top of ti j lengthened spell of broken weather its results ; must be disastrous to those unfortunate farj mers whose grain is still in tho field. Even where stacked it 13 likely to suffer to some extent, as the rain has been accompanied by a driving wind. Fortunately in this district most of the crop is threshed, but in North Otngo j there is still a large quantity of gram in tri3 fields. Millers fear that the supply of good j milling wheat will be unequal to requirements, ! with the result thdt they may have to import from other ouarters.
