The Wheat Yield.
(Per Press Association). Sydney, November 13. The almost unanimous view in the grain trade is that the wheat yield instead of averaging 10*88 bushels per acre, will not be more than five or a total of three and a half million bushels. The statistical department has so far taken no steps to collect statistics, so this estimate is liable to some slight correction ; but as almost every member of the trade is unanimous that the decrease will be fully fifty per cent, it may be taken to represent pretty closely what the real wheat production of the colony at the close of the forthcoming harvest will be.
