Copra in Fiji.— Our Fiji correspondent states 
that tenders for the Goveiniueut copia contract 
weie opened on the 30th ultimo. Lever Brothers, 
Limited, Sydney, were the successful tenderers 
at £10 13s 5d per ton, which is con.sidered a very 
gaiisiaetory price. — Sydney Mail, Dec. 21. 
Rice in Australia.— Rice s^rows to every, 
deijiee of perfection in the Port Douglas district 
and we ("Gazette") allude to the desirability of 
farmers inclu<linf? it among their products, and a« 
instancinp! tht possibilities here with that crop, we 
are enabled to inform our readers tl-at one experi- 
menter in Mackay this season realised over lu tons 
of paddy from 10 acres of land selling the lot at 
£7 per ton on the wharf. The crop was harvested 
with the sickle, and doubtless a large quantity of 
tlie grain was lost, as rice sheds very freely. 
With up-to-date machinery in our favour, there is 
a lot in rice and it should be grown n)ore 
abundantly in this district, which is equally 
adapted for it as Msxckay.— Sydney Mail, Aov 30»
