Fix this textWeekly Review of Trade
Fix this textNew South Wales
Fix this textVery little change has occurred in the con-
Fix this textdition of trade during the week, the general
Fix this textreport being that business has kept quiet.
Fix this textHowever, the completed trade returns for the
Fix this textpast six months, just issued by the Customs,
Fix this textshow a steady increase in both the imports and
Fix this textexports of the State. The imports for June
Fix this textamounted to £3,015,117, or £ 262,452 more than
Fix this textfor the corresponding month last year, while
Fix this textthe six months totals aggregated £ 17,840,706,
Fix this textor £1,734,768 in excess of those for the first
Fix this textSix months last year. The exports (direct over-
Fix this textsea shipments only), for June were £1,739,692,
Fix this textan increase of £560,517, while for the six
Fix this textmonths the totals represented £14,588,764, or
Fix this text£3,323,282 in excess of the corresponding period
Fix this textlast year. The export totals, with interstate
Fix this texttrade added, would reach much larger figures.
Fix this textThese returns only serve to demonstrate that
Fix this texttrade, despite all said to the contrary, is quietly
Fix this textexpanding. Finances, both public and private,
Fix this textcontinue strong, the publication of reports of
Fix this textvarious banks and their quarterly averages
Fix this textshow additions to profits, increased deposits,
Fix this textand full dividends. The City Bank of Sydney
Fix this textlast week paid a higher rate of dividend.
Fix this textStatistics relating to the autumn and winter
Fix this textlambing recently issued were satisfactory. The
Fix this textautumn lambing produced 8,186,330 lambs, re-
Fix this textpresenting 82 per cent, of the ewes mated, but
Fix this textthe winter batch was only 2,064,930, or 70 per
Fix this textcent, of the ewes. The total number of lambs
Fix this textgained, therefore, was slightly in excess of the
Fix this textprevious year; but unfavourable weather con-
Fix this textditions caused a greater percentage of losses,
Fix this textso that the total markings will only be 116,890
Fix this textlambs ahead.
Fix this textThe wool trade was quiet last week, pending
Fix this textthe auction sales held here on the 19th and 20th
Fix this textinst. The opening of the London sales was a
Fix this textfactor of importance to the trade, and the rates
Fix this texton the first day were generally somewhat
Fix this textfirmer than was anticipated on this side. How-
Fix this textever, a slightly easier feeling" became apparent
Fix this textlater on, though prices now are reported to be
Fix this textas firm as at any time during these series. The
Fix this textmarket at the Sydney sales on Tuesday opened
Fix this textabout on a par with the rates ruling at the
Fix this textclose of the previous series. The catalogues
Fix this textfor the first day represented over 4700 bales,
Fix this textof which 3961 bales were sold under the ham-
Fix this textmer. Wednesday’s catalogues totalled 3247
Fix this textbales.
Fix this textOne of the chief features of the week has
Fix this textbeen the strong continued advance in wheat
Fix this textvalues, prices having favoured holders by full
Fix this text3d per bushel, business having been effected on
Fix this textmillers’ account at up to 3/10 Sydney Ship-
Fix this textpers have also raised their limits owing to the
Fix this texthigher prices ruling at home for Australian
Fix this textcargoes, which have sold at 36/- per quarter;
Fix this textbut they will not pay over 3/9 y 2 d. No further
Fix this textmovements have been reported in bran and
Fix this textpollard, but flour advanced last week by 5/-
Fix this textper ton, owing to the dearer markets for wheat,
Fix this textnow being quoted at £9 per ton. The bad re-
Fix this textports and reduced yields of America and
Fix this textCanada have been the leading factors in the
Fix this textrevival in the world’s wheat markets. The
Fix this textshipments of breadstuffs from Sydney last week
Fix this textamounted to 173,391 bushels of wheat, and 7918
Fix this textcentals of flour, while since January 1 the ex-
Fix this textports have aggregated 7,784,509 bushels of
Fix this textwheat and 283,898 centals of flour.
Fix this textThere has been no movement in butter
Fix this textprices, and the demand has kept very quiet,
Fix this textespecially so for export, only 85 boxes being
Fix this textshipped from here last week. The exports from
Fix this textJuly 1 have totalled 1872 boxes.
Fix this textMost other station produce met with a satis-
Fix this textfactory market: Rabbit skins were in strong
Fix this textdemand at the sales, and values improved from
Fix this text%d to Id for good sorts, while light well furred
Fix this textpelts in some cases sprang 3d and sold from
Fix this text19d to 24d per lb. Medium and good hides re-
Fix this textmained stationary at auction, but inferior
Fix this textqualities were about %d lower on the week.
Fix this textLeather was dull, sole, kip and calf selling at
Fix this textabout late rates; but basils and saddlers’ re-
Fix this textquirements were difficult to place. In tallow,
Fix this textsupplies offered during the week were limited,
Fix this textand the demand from both shippers and local
Fix this textbuyers very brisk, so that quotations advanced
Fix this textby 7/6 for prime and by about 5/- for average
Fix this textqualities. Prime mixed is quoted at £3O to
Fix this text£3O/10/- per ton.
Fix this textThe import markets were quiet, trade being
Fix this textchiefly of a distributing character. Country
Fix this textorders for the first of next month showed more
Fix this textanimation, but the wet weather for two days
Fix this textseriously interfered with business in town;
Fix this textespecially was this noticeable in produce along
Fix this textSussex-street. The tea market has been re-
Fix this textplenished by the arrival of the “Itonus,” but for
Fix this textall that stocks are very firmly held. All dried
Fix this textfruits have been in request, sultanas and cur-
Fix this textrants being very strong on account of the bad
Fix this textreports as to the crops in Smyrna and Greece.
Fix this textThe opening prices for new season’s salmon
Fix this textwere received, and, as expected, there was an
Fix this textall-round advance as compared with last year’s
Fix this textopening rates of 2/- per case. The first jute
Fix this textforecast has also been received from Calcutta,
Fix this textadvising an increase in the area under jute of
Fix this text4y 2 per cent., but this has not had much effect
Fix this texti,or eitner local or Calcutta prices for manu-
Fix this textfactured goods. In fact, the position in Cal-
Fix this textcutta has slightly hardened. Woolpacks locally
Fix this texthave met with a very good demand, selling at
Fix this textimproved rates, up to 2/6 being now demanded,
Fix this textwhile cornsacks have kept quiet, and brans have
Fix this textremained very lifeless. In metals some small
Fix this textimprovements were cabled out as having taken
Fix this textplace in America and London rates for g.c. iron,
Fix this textbut no change has occurred in spot values.
Fix this textFencing wires are now fairly firmly held here.
Fix this textHerrings and oils are reported scarce in Japan,
Fix this textand prices on that side advanced, so the local
Fix this textmarket is dearer. Linseed oil also was cabled
Fix this textout from home as being higher.
Fix this textThe soft-goods trade has experienced some
Fix this textmore demand for winter goods owing to the
Fix this textbad weather, but the chief interest in this sec-
Fix this texttion of trade lies in the direction of placing
Fix this textorders and samples for coming spring require-
Fix this textments. The building trade has been interfered
Fix this textwith by reason of the bad weather, but there
Fix this textwill be some increase in this direction to make
Fix this textgood the damage wrought by the storms.
Fix this textVictoria
Fix this textJuly 20, 1910.
Fix this textTrade has continued good for the time of the
Fix this textyear, and although country orders show con-
Fix this texttraction, as usual about the third week of the
Fix this textmonth, the general feeling continues hopeful.
Fix this textThe season in the country is going on well, the
Fix this textrainfall at frequent intervals supplying all
Fix this textrequirements, and so far everything is favour-
Fix this textable to a full volume of production in the pas-
Fix this texttoral, dairying and agricultural industries.
Fix this textAmongst the wholesale houses, the grocery
Fix this texttrade has been fairly brisk, and prices for some
Fix this textof the leading articles show firmness. The
Fix this textannouncement of prices for the higher grades of
Fix this textsalmon from British Columbia has confirmed
Fix this textexpectations of a substantial advance on last
Fix this textseason’s rates, the extra cost of 1 lb. flats being
Fix this text1/- per dozen, and it is evident that spot prices
Fix this textduring the coming season will be higher than for
Fix this textsome years past, especially as the quantity
Fix this textavailable is expected to be only moderate. The
Fix this textposition of the dried fruit market remains firm,
Fix this textand Mildura sultanas are in strong request,
Fix this textanything offering being readily taken by inter-
Fix this textstate buyers. The ironmongery trade is also
Fix this textfairly active, with a steady demand for fencing
Fix this textmaterials from the country. The demand for
Fix this textbuilding materials continues active both in
Fix this texttown and country. Cement is selling freely at
Fix this texta slight reduction in prices, supplies being re-
Fix this textplenished by recent arrivals. The soft-goods
Fix this texthouses are receiving rather larger orders than
Fix this textusual for winter goods at the end of the whole-
Fix this textsale season, while fair orders are being booked
Fix this texton account of the opening of the spring season.
Fix this textThe demand promises to run largely upon cot-
Fix this textton goods, shipments of which are coming for-
Fix this textward rather more freely than in recent years,
Fix this textso far as can be gathered from early figures.
Fix this textThe wool trade, as usual at this time of the
Fix this textyear, shows little fresh feature. While prices
Fix this textat the London and Brisbane wool sales have
Fix this textshown weakness, the demand has been on a
Fix this textsatisfactory scale, though London has been af-
Fix this textfected by the lack of American demand.
Fix this textThe wheat market has been strong, and the
Fix this textSpot market has advanced to 3/11 %d. The
Fix this textadvance is due partly to the small supplies of-
Fix this textfering from the country and partly to the im-
Fix this textprovement in London, where Australian car-
Fix this textgoes have risen to 36/- per quarter in response
Fix this textto the unfavourable news on the wheat crops
Fix this textin Canada and some parts of the United States.
Fix this textExports of wheat and flour from Australia this
Fix this textseason now total close upon 39% million
Fix this textbushels, but owing to the large harvest there is
Fix this textstill a considerable quantity available for
Fix this textshipment from Australia after providing for
Fix this textlocal consumption. The farmers, however, are
Fix this textslow to sell their remaining stocks.
Fix this textThe butter market shows a rather weak feel-
Fix this texting, as with a favourable season there is any-
Fix this textthing but scarcity. Best western brands re-
Fix this textmain at 1/1, but secondary descriptions have
Fix this textshown a slight decline. Small shipments have
Fix this textcontinued to be made from various States to
Fix this textLondon, partly of stored butter, and it is ex-
Fix this textpected that the opening of the regular shipping
Fix this textseason will be an early one.
Fix this textThe balance-sheets of two banks have just
Fix this textbeen issued. The net profit shown by the Bank
Fix this textof Victoria for the half-year is £50,012, which
Fix this textcompares with £45,011 six months ago; and,
Fix this textincluding £8921 brought forward, the total
Fix this textavailable is £58,933. The dividend, as pre-
Fix this textviously intimated, is raised from 5 per cent, to
Fix this text6 per cent, per annum, and absorbs £44,340 (of
Fix this textwhich £12,503 is on preference shares, and
Fix this text£ 31,837 on ordinary shares), and the balance
Fix this textcarried forward is £14,593. The balance-sheet
Fix this textshows that deposits on June 30 amounted to
Fix this text£6,014,441, against £5,867,474 six months ago,
Fix this textor an increase of £146,967; while bills dis-
Fix this textcounted and other advances are now £ 6,131,089,
Fix this textagainst £5,645,167, or an increase of £485,922.
Fix this textThe Commercial Bank of Australia shows net
Fix this textprofits of £55,002 for the half-year, against
Fix this text£ 56,303 six months ago and £53,573 a year ago.
Fix this textAfter adding £7473 brought forward, the total
Fix this textavailable is £62,475. The dividend at the rate
Fix this textof 3 per cent, per annum on preference shares
Fix this textabsorbs £31,760. Other appropriations include
Fix this text£20,000 for reinstatement of capital, £ 5000 to
Fix this textreduce bank premises, and £ 2000 to officers’
Fix this textguarantee and provident fund; and a balance of
Fix this text£3715 is carried forward. During the half-year
Fix this textdeposits have increased from £4,878,894 to
Fix this text£5,495,010, and bills discounted and other ad-
Fix this textvances have increased from £4,584,054 to
Fix this text£ 5,092,033.
