A collage of fashion commentary and harvest data appears, listing Victorian era fashion details and 88,814,369 bushels harvested that season. It notes contrast with 25,414,007 bushels, references to a "Toria" helper, and requests for advice and propriety in correspondence.
Preliminary figures indicate a record wheat harvest in the Commonwealth with about 212 million bushels harvested by January. Australia has shipped around 107 million bushels, leaving approximately 4.5 million bushels to be exported and committed for near-term shipment.
The report notes twenty six million bushels shipped to date with two billion bushels of wheat and six million tons of cargo, Victoria receiving about 70 percent by the Westgrowers' Corporation. The corporation has turned sixty vessels, loaded cargoes from Wil and Geelong, and collected despatch money totaling £4044.4.4.
