of wheat — of the wheat purchased by him of the settlers
from £10d a bushel the more mere established price to 8d: and this at a time when but little if at all after the time when
£.1:10 thrice the ordinary price had been the price paid for the same article
by individuals [+] in March 1800 [+] In the next month November the prospect was already so much reduced by storms and caterpillers, as to cause a general account of doubt to be argued reacted to Before harvest came storms and
inundations by which the prospect of an abundant
harvest was wholly destroyed at in the most fertile not to
say only fertile districts — Georges river and the Hawkesbury. +

quantity in the hands of individuals.
