Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textSydney.
Fix this textThe chief feature in con-
Fix this textnection with trade here at
Fix this textthe present time is the
Fix this textgradually increasing string-
Fix this textency of the money market.
Fix this textUsually at this season of
Fix this textthe year bank exchange rates on London ad-
Fix this textvance as many as needed on that side to finance
Fix this textour wool and wheat, but now that war seems
Fix this textinevitable in Southern Europe, the money mark-
Fix this textets of London, France and the Continent have
Fix this textrisen. As expected the Bank of England rate
Fix this texthas now touched 5 per cent. Furthermore, de-
Fix this textspite the splendid revenues which have been
Fix this textaccruing, the State Government expenditure has
Fix this textbeen on a still larger scale, and the loan of
Fix this textsome three million pounds has been raised, not
Fix this textin England but in France, so it is stated. Sea-
Fix this textsons prospects are not as bright as they were,
Fix this textfor rain is needed in many parts if the wheat
Fix this textcrops and pasturage are to see the Summer
Fix this textthrough, and the man up country, who is in need
Fix this textof any temporarily financial accommodation, is
Fix this textnow finding this assistance less easy to obtain,
Fix this textowing to these disturbing influences.
Fix this textThe fall in British Consols to £72/18/9 (the
Fix this textlowest figure since 1823), and the general weak-
Fix this textening in Australian funded stock, in England,
Fix this texthave been reflected in values for investments
Fix this textstocks on the Sydney Stock Exchange; while
Fix this textthe dearer money conditions have also had a
Fix this textrestraining influence upon business in this re-
Fix this textspect. War and rumors of wars have likewise
Fix this texttended to depreciate the market for mining
Fix this textscrip, silver and lead shares showing the most
Fix this textpronounced falls. Then too, copper at Home has
Fix this textfallen about a pound per ton, and tin about
Fix this text30/- per ton, while pig iron, the index of all
Fix this textraw materials, has dropped Bd. However, prices
Fix this textof industrial metals continue at very profitable
Fix this textlevels. According to the latest figures the gold
Fix this textyield of this State continues to decrease. For
Fix this textthe first nine months of this year the output
Fix this textamounted to 121,925 fine ozs., as compared with
Fix this text130,619 fine ozs., and 145,090 ozs. for the corres-
Fix this textponding period of 1911 and 1910 respectively.
Fix this textThe Commonwealth production has likewise
Fix this textmaterially shrunk.
Fix this textThat trade has kept brisk in most lines is
Fix this textshown by the fact that the Customs duties for
Fix this textthe past week have totalled some £136,000 odd,
Fix this textand our bank’s clearings to some £6,422,000.
Fix this textFor the first forty weeks of the current year the
Fix this textclearings through Sydney Banks have totalled
Fix this text£247,688,897, or £19,273,000 more than for the
Fix this textcorresponding period last year.
Fix this textTurning to the local wool market a very satis-
Fix this textfactory condition of affairs has obtained. Com-
Fix this textpetition from practically all sections of the trade
Fix this texthas proved exceptionally active, and where any
Fix this textmovement has occurred in values, it has been in
Fix this textthe growers’ favor. German and French buyers
Fix this texthave been well to the front, as heretofore, but
Fix this textYorkshire and American operators have recently
Fix this textshown more activity. Japanese orders for fine
Fix this textscoureds has likewise been brisk. Greasy wool
Fix this texthas been getting up to 14 %d. per pound, and
Fix this textscoured up to 24 %d. per pound.. The certainty
Fix this textof a considerable shortage in the Australian clip
Fix this textis stimulating the demand. The catalogues of-
Fix this textfered in Sydney so far this season have amount-
Fix this texted to 105,338 bales, of which 97,648 bales have
Fix this textbeen sold at auction. Private transactions have
Fix this texttotalled 12,541 bales, making the total sales this
Fix this textseason, 110,184 bales. Last year’s figures for the
Fix this textcorresponding period were offered—l6s,4os bales;
Fix this textsold at auction, 135,572 bales; privately, 23,211
Fix this textbales; total sales, 160,783 bales.
Fix this textThe wheat market during the week has been
Fix this textquiet, but the tendency has been most distinctly
Fix this textupward. The commencement of hostilities in
Fix this textSouthern Europe has given a most decided fillip
Fix this textto the English markets, as the marketing of the
Fix this textGreat Russian harvest, if the war expands will
Fix this textbe precarious. Furthermore, freights and insur-
Fix this textance rates will doubtless go higher. Then too,
Fix this textconditions here have been less favorable, and
Fix this textrain is now badly needed in many districts. The
Fix this textcrops in the north of this State, will be more or
Fix this textless of a failure, while the north west and mid-
Fix this textdle west require rain within the next three
Fix this textweeks, if the wheat is to give anything of a yield.
Fix this textVisible supplies in New South Wales are now
Fix this textdown to a very low ebb. Stackings on country
Fix this textstations and Darling Harbor do not total much
Fix this textover 100,000 bags, at the present time, and some
Fix this textmore shipping has yet to be fulfilled. Holders
Fix this textof prompt wheat have sold at 4/6, and the tend-
Fix this textency is to ask for %d. per bushel more on trucks
Fix this textin Sydney. New season’s wheat is held for
Fix this text3/10 %d. per bushel Sydney, January and Feb-
Fix this textruary shipments, but for more extended de-
Fix this textliveries 3/11, and even more is being asked.
Fix this textThe shipments of wheat and flour from the
Fix this textState during the current campaign have repre-
Fix this textsented close upon 10,500,000 bushels of wheat,
Fix this textirrespective of quantities sent to Queensland.
Fix this textTurning to the market for general produce,
Fix this textthe week has seen no alteration in prices for
Fix this textbutter, choice brands having sold at 116/- per
Fix this textcwt. Second qualities have been in a little more
Fix this textrequest, and have sold from 105/- to 112/- per
Fix this textcwt. The firmer tone of the Brisbane markets
Fix this texthas played into the holder’s hands here. For-
Fix this textage lines have moved out quietly with medium
Fix this textdescriptions of chaff and lucerne rather easier.
Fix this textValues for maize have been easier owing to in-
Fix this textcreased supplies in Queensland, and the North-
Fix this textern Rivers. The market for potatoes and onions
Fix this texthas kept exceedingly firm. Higher values have
Fix this textbeen ruling for bacon.
Fix this textIn the Import market, business for the coming
Fix this textmonth has commenced to show up, but the
Fix this textcountry trade has not been particularly active.
Fix this textFencing wires, nettings, tin plates and all de-
Fix this textscriptions of galvanized and corrugated iron
Fix this texthave met with fair enquiry, and holders have
Fix this textmaintained a firm front as latest cable prices
Fix this textshow improvements in most manufacturing cen-
Fix this texttres. Oils have sold well, though forward prices
Fix this textof linseed are now rather easier. General gro-
Fix this textcery lines have distributed freely with the mark-
Fix this textet for all descriptions of tin, dried and preserved
Fix this textfruits exceedingly firm, and the same can be
Fix this textsaid of all descriptions of tinned fish. In jute,
Fix this textcornsacks have kept firm, though country buy-
Fix this texting has continued limited owing to the higher
Fix this textprices and the dry weather. However, Calcutta
Fix this textrates show no signs of breaking. Season’s de-
Fix this textliveries are quoted in Sydney at 6/7% and spots
Fix this textat %d. less. Bran bags have likewise been very
Fix this textfirmly held at 5/B%d.
Fix this textSydney has been very full during the week
Fix this textowing to the continuance of the races, and shop-
Fix this textkeepers report good business all round. Manu-
Fix this textfacturers have been making effective displays
Fix this textof their goods during the “All Australian Manu-
Fix this textfactures Week.”

Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textMelbourne.
Fix this textVictorian trade is at pre-
Fix this textsent maintaining a good
Fix this textlevel under somewhat mix-
Fix this texted circumstances. In com-
Fix this textmon with other parts of
Fix this textAustralia the smaller wool-
Fix this textclip and the reduced butter production will af-
Fix this textfect the returns to primary producers for the
Fix this textseason, while the trade position, with heavy
Fix this textimports out of proportion to exports tends to
Fix this textcause a certain amount of pressure. Against
Fix this textthese influences are to be set the higher prices
Fix this textfor wool in comparison with a year ago, and
Fix this textthe prospect that the grain crops will yield well
Fix this textif the spring weather continues favorable. The
Fix this texttightness of money is however, exercising a re-
Fix this textstraining influence on trade and enterprise, and
Fix this textwhilst imports are still heavy there are grounds
Fix this textfor expecting some curtailment within a few
Fix this textmonths time. The wholesale houses are doing a
Fix this textsteady trade, but the extreme changes in tempera-
Fix this textture experienced recently are telling against the
Fix this textdemand for seasonable lines. The soft-goods
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
