Fix this textThe New South Wales
Fix this textrevenue for the month of
Fix this textFebruary, as we predicted,
Fix this textshowed a shrinkage of
Fix this text£129,783, as compared with
Fix this textthe corresponding month last year, amounting to
Fix this text£883,879, which was solely due to there being
Fix this textno refunds made to the State exchequer by the
Fix this textFederal Government. Under general headings,
Fix this texthowever, contributions continued to expand in a
Fix this textvery satisfactory manner. The leading items
Fix this textwere: Railways, £470,932 (increase £ 43,335);
Fix this texttramways, £ 111,350 (increase £16,407); and
Fix this textstamps, £ 55,774 (increase £24,170). The revenue
Fix this textfor the first eight months of the current financial
Fix this textyear has amounted to £9,532,777, showing still
Fix this textan increase over the corresponding period of
Fix this textlast yeartrf—£6ll,s2B. The expenditure last
Fix this textmonth out of revenue was £997,273, and for the
Fix this texteight months £9,003,003.
Fix this textAccording to the Customs revenue collected
Fix this textOuring February, which totalled £426,387, or
Fix this textnearly £Bl,OOO in excess of those collected
Fix this textduring January, it would appear that trade
Fix this textis also more than maintaining its recent volume.
Fix this textThis month has opened briskly—so merchants
Fix this textand importers state —and it is confidently antici-
Fix this textpated (that is, if weather conditions hold good)
Fix this textthat there will be a steady growth of business
Fix this textall round. On the Stock Exchange leading in-
Fix this textvestments have continued to meet with plenty of
Fix this textcompetition amongst buyers, so that movements
Fix this textin a great number of leading securities have
Fix this textcontinued in an upward direction. The same
Fix this textcannot, however, be said of mining shares, which
Fix this texthave been mostly out of favour; and copper and
Fix this textsilver stocks have rather depreciated. The
Fix this textworld’s markets for industrial metals remain
Fix this texttoo irregular and depressed for there to be
Fix this textmuch of a recovery in mines.
Fix this textThe weekly series of Sydney wool sales closed
Fix this textlast week, and the catalogues presented the
Fix this textusual end-of-the-season characteristics; but
Fix this textconsidering the general make-up, the market
Fix this textwas certainly a very satisfactory one from a
Fix this textsellers’ point of view. Prices all round were
Fix this textfirmly sustained, while medium and slcirty wools
Fix this textwere in rather better request. The total quan-
Fix this texttities of wool offered at auction in Sydney during
Fix this textthe course of the present sales have aggre-
Fix this textgated 724,530 bales, while 625,2G1 bales have
Fix this textbeen disposed of under the hammer, and 84,086
Fix this textprivately, making the total sales to date 709,297
Fix this textbales, of 12,413 bales more than last season to
Fix this textthe same date.
Fix this textThe local wheat market, in conjunction with
Fix this textpractically all the leading markets of Aus-
Fix this texttralia, and practically of the world, has con-
Fix this texttinued to weaken, while there has been little
Fix this textinducement for shippers to operate, so that
Fix this textsales from day to day have been meagre.
Fix this textLondon and Continental operators have con-
Fix this texttinued their policy of simply buying from hand-
Fix this textto-mouth, and the London market has eased,
Fix this textnot much over 33/- per quarter being offered
Fix this textfor New South Wales cargoes. Millers have
Fix this textfound it necessary to further reduce quotations
Fix this textfor flour, which was on Monday officially lower-
Fix this texted to £ 8 per ton for leading city makes. This
Fix this textmay now have the effect of livening up the
Fix this textbaking trade, which has kept consistently dull.
Fix this textThe tone of the local butter market has like-
Fix this textwise been a weak one, and shipping values do
Fix this textnot show any level of profit even at local cur-
Fix this textrent rates. The English markets are now enter-
Fix this texting upon their season of fuller supplies, and
Fix this textconsequently there is not so much call for
Fix this textcolonial butters at home. Complaints, too, have
Fix this textbeen heard that our butter has shown signs of
Fix this textbeing packed in hot weather on arrival home.
Fix this textChoicest butter is now quoted at 86/- per cwt.
Fix this textTrade in general forage lines has been slightly
Fix this textbetter since the return to fine weather con-
Fix this textditions, but chaff, hay, lucerne, potatoes, etc.,
Fix this texthaving about maintained previous levels.
Fix this textThe import markets commenced the new
Fix this textmonth well, orders from the country as well
Fix this textas city and suburban trade showing up satis-
Fix this textfactorily, while in leading comestibles quota-
Fix this texttions have been very steady. The scarcity of
Fix this textteas continues to be the feature of this section
Fix this textof the markets, and prices for all descriptions
Fix this textcontinue to harden. The Lenten demand for
Fix this texttinned and salt fish has been brisk, and stocks
Fix this textof most choice goods have become light, with
Fix this textrather better prices asked. Linseed oil has
Fix this textmoved out quietly at top prices, but the fact
Fix this textthat cables from home were to the effect that
Fix this textthe market there seemed slightly unsettled, with
Fix this textsome quotations given as lower, has tended to
Fix this textfurther restrict business. Local prices, how-
Fix this textever, have not altered. All other seed and fish
Fix this textoils have been in fair request at well-sustained
Fix this textrates. Local manufacturers of paints, etc., have
Fix this textbeen inclined to look for higher prices owing to
Fix this textthe continued dearness of linseed oil and turps.
Fix this textIn jute fabrics, the demand has kept quiet, but
Fix this textquotations have remained steady on account of
Fix this textthe higher rates cabled down as holding in
Fix this textCalcutta for all goods. Some improvement has
Fix this textbeen noted in the market for imported fencing
Fix this textwires and nettings, as stocks have run fairly
Fix this textlow, and the prices existing in manufacturing
Fix this textcountries leave little margin of profit to im-
Fix this textporters. Locally-manufactured nettings and
Fix this textbarb-wire have gained something in price
Fix this textas well.
Fix this textAmongst the soft-goods houses, trade has been
Fix this textactive, the autumn demand keeping up, while
Fix this textretailers have likewise experienced a fairly brisk
Fix this textdemand. Boot and shoe manufacturers report
Fix this texta satisfactory turnover, while umbrella and
Fix this textmacintosh makers have reaped a great harvest
Fix this textlately. There has been some move in the
Fix this textAustralian wine industry, a record shipment of
Fix this text1000 cases of Lindeman’s wines having been
Fix this textrecently shipped home.

Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textMelbourne.
Fix this textMarch 8, 1911.
Fix this textSince the beginning of the
Fix this textmonth trade in Melbourne
Fix this textand the country has been
Fix this textactive, and the demand for
Fix this textnearly all classes of goods
Fix this texthas been on a rather large scale. Customs
Fix this textrevenue continues to come in freely, the volume
Fix this textof imports being large. While, however, the
Fix this textpurchasing power of the country appears to be
Fix this textcapable of absorbing the supplies of imported
Fix this textgoods coming forward the export trade is no
Fix this textlonger expanding, and with the alteration in
Fix this textthe relation between imports and exports there
Fix this textis now more opening for gold shipments from
Fix this textAustralia than for some time past. The accu-
Fix this textmulations of coin in the banks during the past
Fix this texttwelve months or so have been, however, so
Fix this textlarge that gold can easily be spared for ship-
Fix this textment out of the regular output in Australia,
Fix this textand some large amounts have been going for-
Fix this textward, principally to India.
Fix this textAmongst the wholesale houses, the soft-goods
Fix this texttrade has been active, and considering the recent
Fix this textwarm weather and the lateness of Easter this
Fix this textyear, the new season has made a good start.
Fix this textThe grocery trade has also been busy, and in
Fix this textthis department prices for some classes of goods
Fix this textshow a firm tendency. Tinned fish is in good
Fix this textrequest, and the supplies of salt fish are turning
Fix this textout rather short for Lenten trade. New season’s
Fix this textMildura currants and sultanas have been arriv-
Fix this texting, and apart from the sticky appearance of
Fix this textmany of the currants the fruit is favourably
Fix this textreported upon. The tea trade is still con-
Fix this textfronted by the high prices ruling in Colombo
Fix this textand other markets, though the comparatively
Fix this textcheap importations of a few months ago are
Fix this texthelping the blenders under present circum-
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
