Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textSydney.
Fix this textBusiness in most direc-
Fix this texttions has been fairly satis-
Fix this textfactory during the week,
Fix this textalthough, as is usual, the
Fix this textclosing days of the month
Fix this texthave shown a tailing-off in fresh orders. How-
Fix this textever, merchants report themselves satisfied with
Fix this textthe month’s turnover in most departments, the
Fix this texttotals being in excess of the corresponding
Fix this textmonth last year. Prospects have also kept
Fix this textvery favourable; in fact, the outlook for the
Fix this textharvest has improved owing to further nice
Fix this textfalls of warm rains in the country. The State
Fix this textrevenue returns for October show a total yield
Fix this textef £1,286,799, or an increase over the cor-
Fix this textresponding month last year of £57,349, while
Fix this textthe revenue for the first four months of the
Fix this textcurrent financial year has aggregated £4,502,745
Fix this textincrease over the corresponding period of
Fix this text£149,844. The largest increases for October
Fix this textwere: Railways, £39,403; tramways, £13,384;
Fix this textstamps, £11,836; and land revenue, £ 6364. On
Fix this textthe Stock Exchange, investments have gener-
Fix this texta’ly met with a very steady demand; and
Fix this textquotations for leading shares have been firmly
Fix this textmaintained. In mining, the greatest excitement
Fix this texthas been in the West Australian section, owing
Fix this textto the new gold find, and naturally the market
Fix this texthas fluctuated prety widely with each new
Fix this textrumour which has reached this market.
Fix this textPractically no change occurred in the local
Fix this textwool market during the week, the sales having
Fix this textbeen characterised by a keen and more general
Fix this textcompetition at full prices. During the past
Fix this textfortnight or so crossbreds have improved from
Fix this text%d to Id per lb, while fine merinos have like-
Fix this textwise gained something in value. Faulty and
Fix this textburry wools have continued irregular. The
Fix this textcatalogues offered in Sydney to date have
Fix this texttotalled 231,818 bales, of which 196,825 bales
Fix this textfound purchasers under the hammer. Adding
Fix this textthe private transactions as well, the total sales
Fix this textthis season have aggregated 228,294 bales, or an
Fix this textincrease of 33,962 bales, as compared with the
Fix this textcorrresponding period last season.
Fix this textBusiness in wheat during the week has con-
Fix this texttinued exceedingly flat, and owing to the life-
Fix this textlessness of the home markets shippers have
Fix this textfurther reduced their limits to 3/7%d per
Fix this textbushel, and have shown themselves but cautious
Fix this textbuyers at this figure. Holders, however, have
Fix this textrefused to sell at this rate, mostly wanting 3/9
Fix this textfor a parcel. Recent weather conditions have
Fix this textbeen very decidedly favourable for the growing
Fix this textcrops, though in the North the rains came
Fix this textrather too late, and the yields there are not
Fix this textlikely to be good. With the extensive carry-
Fix this textover it is very generally estimated that this
Fix this textState will have about the same ' quantity of
Fix this textwheat to export that was available during the
Fix this textpresent shipping season. The demand for flour
Fix this texthas kept quiet, with no alterations noted in
Fix this textquotations. The shipments from Sydney since
Fix this textJanuary 1 have represented 10,132,919 bushels
Fix this textof wheat and 454,881 centals of flour.
Fix this textThe butter market has ruled very quiet. Sup-
Fix this textplies have been coming to hand with freedom,
Fix this textand as there has been no improvement in the
Fix this textexport demand, quotations have failed to main-
Fix this texttain their former levels and have fallen another
Fix this text2/- per cwt., finest now being quoted at 100/-
Fix this textper cwt.; second makes correspondingly easier.
Fix this textLarge catalogues of sheep-skins were offered
Fix this textat the sales during the week, and buyers oper-
Fix this textated freely. The market for light good con-
Fix this textditioned skins remained steady, but rough and
Fix this textheavy sorts declined about %d per lb. As is
Fix this textusual with the advent of summer, furred skins
Fix this textare now showing an easier disposition. Prices
Fix this textfor opossum skins at the sales weakened from
Fix this text1/6 to 3/- per doz. for rumpers and reds, while
Fix this textgreys were from 3/- to 5/- lower. Kangaroo,
Fix this textwallaby and bear skins were also a shade easier,
Fix this textbut rabbit skins continued to meet with a fair
Fix this textmarket. The market for tallow advanced under
Fix this textstrong competition, closing quotations shewing
Fix this textan improvement of from 10/- to 15/- per ton,
Fix this textprime mixed being quoted at from £32/15/- to
Fix this text£33/5/-.
Fix this textTurning to the general market, the chief
Fix this textmovement in values was the further reduction
Fix this textof 10/- per ton in all leading brands of sugar,
Fix this textmaking a fall in local quotations during October
Fix this textof £2/10/- per ton. The Australian manufac-
Fix this textturer has, therefore, had to come down owing
Fix this textto the very serious slump which has been going
Fix this texton in the European markets for beet sugar,
Fix this textwhich has fallen £6 per ton since the end of
Fix this textAugust. Business in general groceries has been
Fix this textof a very steady character for ordinary trade
Fix this textrequirements, the advent of the Christmas trade
Fix this textbrightening up the market for all dried fruits,
Fix this textnuts and other seasonable lines; while as
Fix this textstocks are light, and all oversea prices dear, the
Fix this textgeneral tendency of prices has been towaras
Fix this textimprovement. The market for salmon and other
Fix this texttinned fish has been quiet, though here again
Fix this textthe smallness of stocks has rendered the posi-
Fix this texttion a very strong one all round. No move-
Fix this textments have occurred in oils, linseed keeping
Fix this textAery firmly controlled; and, according to news
Fix this textfrom America, there is likely to be further ap-
Fix this textpreciation in turps on that side. In jute, a
Fix this textslightly better tone has pervaded the market for
Fix this textcorn-sacks owing to the improved outlook for
Fix this textwheat, due to the further rains, and bran-bags
Fix this texthave stiffened somewhat; but the market for
Fix this textwool-packs has continued a dull one. Metals
Fix this texthave moved out in average quantities, but there
Fix this texthave been practically no movements of im-
Fix this textportance in prices. It is rumoured that there
Fix this textis likely to be a break in the wire-nail con-
Fix this textvention here before long.

Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textMelbourne.
Fix this textNovember 2, 1910.
Fix this textTrade in Melbourne has
Fix this textbeen active owing to the
Fix this textusual influx of orders at
Fix this textthe beginning of the
Fix this textmonth, this being stimu-
Fix this textlated by the improvement in the weather, which
Fix this textis now more favourable to the demand for more
Fix this textseasonable goods, and by the excellent season
Fix this textthrough which the country is passing. In the
Fix this textgrocery trade, apart from a good general de-
Fix this textmand, the principal event has been another re-
Fix this textduction of 10/- per ton in the Colonial Sugar
Fix this textCompany’s prices, making a total of £2/10/-
Fix this textfrom the prices ruling a few weeks ago. The
Fix this textdecline reflects the movement in the European
Fix this textbeet sugar markets, the season on the Con-
Fix this texttinent being so favourable as to bring prices
Fix this textdown to a much lower level than was antici-
Fix this textpated two or three months ago.
Fix this textThe ironmongery trade has been busy, the
Fix this textdemand for general hardware being on a rather
Fix this textlarge scale. Building materials and oils and
Fix this textpaints continue to sell freely. The soft-goods
Fix this texthouses have been fairly active, the season on
Fix this textthe whole being a good one, though last month’s
Fix this textcold weather gave a set-back to town trade.
Fix this textThe Customs returns of Australian oversea
Fix this texttrade for September show considerable in-
Fix this textcreases in comparison with September, 1909.
Fix this textImports of merchandise amounted to £5,243,236,
Fix this textor an increase of £972,722, and exports of mer-
Fix this textchandise to £4,587,892, or an increase of
Fix this text£461,531, wool shipments being smaller by
Fix this textabout half a million, but wheat larger
Fix this textby over half a million and butter larger by
Fix this textabout £124,000. The total imports of merchan-
Fix this textdise for the nine months ending September 30
Fix this textwere £42,543,557, against £35,955,434 for the
Fix this textsame period last year, the increase being
Fix this text£6,588,123. The increase in apparel and soft-
Fix this textgoods is £1,814,934, and the balance is spread
Fix this textover all classes of imports, the expansion in
Fix this textbusiness being general . Total exports of mer-
Fix this textchandise for the nine months amount to
Fix this text£43,162,654, against £34,272,574, the increase
Fix this textbeing £ 8,890,080. Here again the expansion is
Fix this texta general one, wool exports for the nine months
Fix this textshowing an increase of £1,609,357, while wheat
Fix this textand flour are larger by £2,715,506, butter by
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
