Fix this textINTERSTATE EXCHANGE ON BANK
Fix this textNOTES.
Fix this textThe banks have decided to abolish the inter-
Fix this textstate exchange on bank notes (says “The Aus-
Fix this texttralasian Insurance & Banking Record”). In-
Fix this textdividual agreements between banks in Mel-
Fix this textbourne and Sydney have existed for some time,
Fix this textbut a general understanding has now been ar-
Fix this textrived at. A bank note wherever issued by an
Fix this textAustralian bank will now have free circulation
Fix this textthroughout the Commonwealth. Of the ex-
Fix this textpediency and the wisdom of the step there can
Fix this textbe no question. The reproach is removed that
Fix this textthe paper portion of the monetary circulation
Fix this texthas been liable to a charge for exchange.
Fix this textShould, however, customers use large amounts
Fix this textof notes instead of drafts for remittances the
Fix this textconcession will be curtailed. But any abuse
Fix this textof this kind is not expected to occur often, and
Fix this textwill probably cease altogether. Some addition-
Fix this textal clerical labour will be occasioned by the new
Fix this textdeparture, but that is a small matter compared
Fix this textwith the advantage that wfill be gained.
Fix this textPASTORAL AND AGRICULTURAL
Fix this textPROSPECTS.
Fix this textProspects for the coming pastoral and agri-
Fix this textcultural season continue to be favorable. The
Fix this textwool clip will it is expected show increase, and
Fix this textalthough at the series of wool sales now closing
Fix this textin London some set-back in prices has been ex-
Fix this textperienced, the market outlook is satisfactory.
Fix this textFor frozen mutton and lamb, especially lamb,
Fix this textmarket conditions are very adverse. The im-
Fix this textporters in London are trying to maintain a
Fix this textminimum price limit for lamb, but as the sup-
Fix this textply on hand is large success in this direction
Fix this textwill probably discourage the making of fresh
Fix this textshipments to a more or less extent. The
Fix this textweather has been almost everything that could
Fix this textbe desired for the areas under wheat, but it is
Fix this textnever safe to predict what the harvest will be
Fix this textuntil at least September has elapsed. The for-
Fix this textward market is encouraging for growers, the
Fix this textLondon quotation being about 41s 6d per
Fix this textquarter, c.f.i., for the next crop, while a con-
Fix this textsiderable business has been done locally at and
Fix this textabout 4s 4% d per bushel delivered Melbourne.
Fix this textThe course of the metal markets has not been
Fix this textfavourable to mining interests, the quotations
Fix this textfor lead, copper, and tin being tower than at a
Fix this textmonth ago. Spelter is a shade higher. As
Fix this textwe have previously remarked, there does not
Fix this textappear to be much prospect of an early ad-
Fix this textvance in metal prices, which after all are fair-
Fix this textly good for quiet times. Gold 1 mining con-
Fix this texttinues to flag.—“ Australasian I. & B. Record.”
