New data on the mean magnetic field of the Sun (MMFS) as a star measured at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in 1998–2001 are presented. The 34-year time series of the MMFS using similar data from three other observatories (1968–2001, with the total number of daily MMFS values N = 12 428), is considered. It is found that (a) the primary synodic period of the equatorial rotation of solar magnetic field, $P_\odot = 26.929 \pm 0.015$ days, did not vary over the last 34 years, but (b) the average intensity H 0 of the photospheric large-scale fields, by modulus, decreased by about 4.5% (with a confidence level of about 80%). The conclusion is made that the longer, 90-year, cycle might be responsible for this potential gradual decrease of H 0 . The average curve of MMFS variation as plotted with the primary rotational period $P_\odot$ demonstrates an obvious N - S asymmetry of polarities, perhaps associated with the quadrupole component and “magnetic disequilibrium” of the Sun as a whole.
