WHEAT YIELD LOW
AUSTRALIAN TRADE QUIET
“Things are rather quiet in Australia just now owing to the fact that the ‘wheat yield in all the States except West Australia is a long way below average,” v said Mr. 11. W. Berry, governing director of Messrs. H. W. Berry and Co., Ltd., yesterday. “West Australia has had a better rainfall than any other State and is getting more settlers on the laud, with the result that they have the biggest wheat yield they have ever had. ' “There is a considerable ‘amount of unemployment in consequence of. the money conditions, and money is tight. We did not get the winter rains which we ought to have had, and the rainfall is much below the average for the past year. However, we have great recuperative powers in Australia, and though there have been heavy losses of sheep, cattle and horses in Queensland. and to a lesser extent in New South Wales, we have suffered the same troubles before and have overcome them.”
