It is announced that the Argentine wheat yield is estimated at 5,845,000 metric tons, in the second official forecast, against 6,400,000 metric tons in the first estimate on November 14.

The official report fixes the damage to wheat at 18.16 "per cent, in the province of Corclqba,, whereas provincial and private reports indicate that it run as high as '7O per cent, in that province.- T , . The despatch adds: The Provincial Agricultural Bureau estimates the damage in Santa Fe at a much higher figure than that given by the Ministry of Agriculture, which was 42.5 per cent.
