Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textSydney.
Fix this textTrade generally keeps
Fix this textfairly animated in most
Fix this textsections of the markets,
Fix this textbut it may be expected to
Fix this textquieten down from now on
Fix this textuntil after the turn of the new year—a usual
Fix this textfeature in December. There has been nothing
Fix this textin the nature of a boom in business, but for all
Fix this textthat, very considerable expansion has been ex-
Fix this textperienced in practically all directions, a glance
Fix this textat the Sydney banks’ clearances (which appear
Fix this texton the following page) plainly showing the in-
Fix this textc,rease in trade. Up to date this year the
Fix this textbanks’ turnover has aggregated close upon
Fix this text£241,000,000, or £31,000,000 more than to the
Fix this textcorresponding date last year—an increase of
Fix this text14.8 per cent. The Melbourne clearings have
Fix this textlikewise shown good expansion, but not to the
Fix this textsame extent as Sydney, the expansion to date
Fix this textthere representing about 8.7 per cent. The ad-
Fix this textditional reports and balance-sheets published
Fix this textduring the week, which included such institu-
Fix this texttions as Farmers Ltd., the New Zealand Loan
Fix this textand Mercantile Agency Co. Ltd., and several
Fix this textothers, all show increased net profits, and
Fix this textmaintained or increased dividends.
Fix this textTransactions on the Stock Exchange from day
Fix this textto day have displayed considerable activity, and
Fix this textthough prices for certain investments have
Fix this textshown some irregularity, the general tone for
Fix this textgilt-edged securities has been distinctly firm.
Fix this textIn the mining section the new West Australian
Fix this textventures have been the chief centre of attrac-
Fix this texttion, and from all reports the new fields seem
Fix this textto be opening up with exceptional promise. A
Fix this texthig gold boom will be of immense benefit to that
Fix this textState, while all the other States will reap inci-
Fix this textdental advantage as well. Already a lot of ex-
Fix this textporting from Sydney has taken place in mining
Fix this textrequisites for West Australia.
Fix this textAmongst the soft-goods houses the summer
Fix this textti affic has about finished, save for some repeat
Fix this textorders from retailers who have experienced
Fix this textmore of a run than they anticipated in certain
Fix this textlines; and many of the large firms are preparing
Fix this textfor the winter trade. Large shopkeepers report
Fix this textthat the demand recently for summer goods has
Fix this textbeen brisker owing to the recent spell of sum-
Fix this textmerlike weather, and the outlook for the
Fix this textChristmas season is encouraging. The Satur-
Fix this textday half-holiday does not seem to have dis-
Fix this textturbed trade in any material manner.
Fix this textThe wool market has kept very firm indeed
Fix this textfor all the well-grown and finer qualities, though
Fix this textfaulty and burry wools have continued rather
Fix this textdifficult of sale. The opening of the final series
Fix this textof London wool sales last week did not have any
Fix this texteffect upon local values, though prices at home
Fix this textwere not as firm as they closed the previous
Fix this textseries. As the sales have progressed good
Fix this textmerinos have slightly improved, but inferior
Fix this textsorts have further weakened. Crossbreds have
Fix this textrecovered to the extent of 5 per cent. However,
Fix this textthe Sydney market now seems to have become
Fix this texttoo important for the London sales to have
Fix this textmuch effect. The catalogues offered here so
Fix this textfar this season have amounted to 384,026 bales,
Fix this textof which 334, 497 bales have been sold at auction
Fix this textand 46,824 bales privately, making the total
Fix this textsales 381,321 bales, or nearly 63,000 bales ahead
Fix this textof last year, to date. It has been estimated
Fix this textthat, although the production of the Common-
Fix this textwealth and New Zealand will show an export-
Fix this textable surplus of 100,000 bales in excess of last
Fix this textyear, this market will sell about 16,000 bales
Fix this textless. However, that remains to be proved.
Fix this textRegarding other station and farm produce,
Fix this textprices for skins at the week’s auctions have
Fix this textshown irregularity. Sheep-skins have met with
Fix this textanimated competition and realised full prices,
Fix this textkangaroo and wallaby skins also selling freely.
Fix this textOpossum-skins, other than greys, which were
Fix this textweaker, maintained former levels; but the
Fix this textmarket for rabbit-skins was a shade easier.
Fix this textSupplies of tallow offering were smaller, but
Fix this textfor all that, the market dragged somewhat, and
Fix this textquotations were lower by about £l, prime
Fix this textmixed closing at £3O/10/- to £3l/10/-. The
Fix this textbutter market has ruled quiet, with supplies
Fix this textmore than equal to requirements, and prices
Fix this texthave fallen a further 2/- per cwt., choicest
Fix this textnow being quoted at 94/-. The trade, however,
Fix this textare not at one in their ideas as to the justifica-
Fix this texttion of the drop, owing to a slight hardening of
Fix this textthe home markets. Shipments last week from
Fix this textSydney amounted to 17,425 boxes, the bulk
Fix this textgoing to the United Kingdom.
Fix this textThe wheat market during the week has weak-
Fix this textened rather, owing to some set-back in London
Fix this textprices, on improved reports from the Argentine,
Fix this textand also to the fact that local millers and
Fix this textshort sellers have filled up their requirements
Fix this textfor the time being, so that there are_ no buyers
Fix this textabout at prices much above shipping parity.
Fix this textHolders, however, though showing more inclina-
Fix this texttion to sell, still demand from 3/9 y 2 d to 3/10d
Fix this textper bushel for old or new grain, while shippers
Fix this textonly offer 3/8 to 3/8 y 2 d for a good parcel. Very
Fix this textlittle business has been reported so far in new
Fix this textwheat this season.
Fix this textIn general merchandise, an active distributing
Fix this texttrade has been going on in all dried fruits,
Fix this textnuts, and other Christmas lines, at very firmly-
Fix this textsustained rates. Quotations for locally
Fix this textmanufactured jams have recently appreciated
Fix this textslightly, in keeping with the dearer markets for
Fix this texttin-plates and higher cost of packing cases,
Fix this text'fleas have met with more animation, spot stocks
Fix this textnow being fairly low, and dearer markets re-
Fix this textported from all producing centres. No move-
Fix this textment has occurred in seed oils, though linseed
Fix this textis extremely scarce and firmly controlled both
Fix this textfor immediate delivery and for future arrival.
Fix this textCream of tartar has attained higher levels, due
Fix this textto the difficulty in obtaining fresh supplies from
Fix this textthe other side even at the higher prices quoted.
Fix this textThe turnover in metals has been quiet, and
Fix this textnothing very stirring is expected in this section
Fix this textuntil after the Christmas holidays.

Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textMelbourne.
Fix this textNovember 30, 1910.
Fix this textTrade amongst the whole-
Fix this textsale houses is active, and
Fix this textis expected to continue so
Fix this textuntil the completion of the
Fix this textChristmas trade, which
Fix this textthis year, owing- to the splendid seasons
Fix this textthrough which the country has passed, is of an
Fix this textexcellent description. Imports during the last
Fix this textfew months have been heavy, but the enlarge-
Fix this textment of demand is enabling most classes of
Fix this textgoods to go freely into consumption. In some
Fix this textinstances a shortening of stocks is beginning
Fix this textto be felt, especially where advances in first
Fix this textcosts hp.ve deterred importation at enhanced
Fix this textprices. An exception to the general tendency
Fix this texthas been the trade in seasonable drapery goods,
Fix this textthe retail demand for which was thrown back
Fix this textby the changeable weather of the past two
Fix this textmonths.
Fix this textThe monthly trade returns for the Common-
Fix this textwealth show steady expansion as compared
Fix this textwith last year. The October figures show that
Fix this textimports of merchandise amounted to £5,334,843,
Fix this textor £825,944 larger than in October, 1909, total
Fix this textimports of merchandise since the beginning
Fix this textof the year being thus raised to £47,878,400, or
Fix this textan increase of £ 7,759,227.. Out of the total im-
Fix this textports for the ten months, apparel and soft-
Fix this textgoods amount to £12,353,874, or an increase of
Fix this text£1,871,081, while considerable increases are
Fix this textshown by iron and steel manufactures,
Fix this textmachinery, timber and miscellaneous articles.
Fix this textThe export figures for October display the
Fix this texteffects of the good season, exports of merchan-
Fix this textdise for the month totalling £7,759,227, or an
Fix this textincrease of £1,972,389, the increase in wool
Fix this textalone being £1,217,410, while butter, frozen
Fix this textmeat, wheat and flour, tallow and other articles
Fix this textof produce are also larger. Total exports of
Fix this textmerchandise for the ten months ending
Fix this textOctober 31 are £50,921,881, against £39,656,349
Fix this textfor the first ten months of 1909, or an increase
Fix this textof £11,265,532. Against this, however, there
Fix this texthas been a decrease of £3,598,864 in exports of
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
