HABDLING OF WHEAT.
THE BULK SYSTEM. SYDNEY, August 13. The report of Mr Burrell (the American expert) on the handling of wheat has been tabled in the Assembly. It recommends that in order to inaugurate a system for the bulk handling of wheat on an economic basis one terminal elevator be built at Sydney and one at Newcastle. The cost, with the rolling stock and belt galleries, would be £500,000. If 25 additional elevators were erected in the country the cost would be increased by £300,000. Mr Burrell adds that New South Wales wheat is superior in quality to that of the United States and Canada.
