Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textSydney.
Fix this textBusiness continues to
Fix this textgradually diminish in most
Fix this textquarters, it being too close
Fix this textto the end of the year for
Fix this textextensive buying, mer-
Fix this textchants being more desirous to qlear than to
Fix this textincrease their holdings, so as to be able to
Fix this textpresent good stock-sheets on the 31st . inst.
Fix this textHowever, the general aspect of trade con-
Fix this texttinues very satisfactory, and reports all round
Fix this textare to the effect that the turnover during the
Fix this textpast six months has been most gratifying. The
Fix this textoversea imports into New South Wales for
Fix this textNovember amounted to £2,083,077, or an in-
Fix this textcfease, as compared with November last year,
Fix this text£231,180. For the 11 months the oversea
Fix this textimports have totalled £21,156,278, an expansion
Fix this textover the corresponding period last year of
Fix this text£2,637,458, or 14.2 per cent. In our export trade
Fix this textthe expansion has been even greater, Novem-
Fix this textber’s total representing £3,876,765, or £576,415
Fix this textin excess of the same month last year, while
Fix this textthe 11 months’ trade has aggregated £28,155,968,
Fix this textshowing an increase of £ 5,631,857 as compared
Fix this textwith the corresponding period last year. Allow-
Fix this texting for the decrease in the shipments of gold,
Fix this textthe shipments of merchandise have shown an
Fix this textexpansion of over 30 per cent. These results,
Fix this textcoupled with the immense growth in the banks’
Fix this textclearances, are conclusive proof of the general
Fix this textprogress and prosperity of the State.
Fix this textOn the Stock Exchange, investment stocks
Fix this texthave been selling fairly freely, there being a
Fix this textnumber of clearing-up transactions at this
Fix this textseason of the year, as investors usually do some
Fix this textsorting up of their securities; but values of
Fix this textleading concerns have been well maintained.
Fix this textWestralian mining ventures—at least the
Fix this textT inches” section—have not proved the Bon-
Fix this textanzas anticipated, and the reports from the
Fix this textfields have been such as to cause a serious
Fix this textdecline in prices of many of these new
Fix this textpropositions.
Fix this textAfter a lapse of a week, wool sales were con-
Fix this texttinued at the sale-room in Sydney on Monday,
Fix this textand the market has rather improved for all
Fix this textgood wools, which are becoming in even greater
Fix this textdemand, while medium sorts have also moved
Fix this textin sellers’ favour. Faulty wools, however, have
Fix this textcontinued to meet with an irregular market.
Fix this textThe catalogues offered in Sydney so far this
Fix this textseason have totalled 429,366 bales, while the
Fix this textsales, including private transactions, have
Fix this textamounted to 428,947 bales—an increase of 39,472
Fix this textbales as compared with the corresponding period
Fix this textlast year. Shipments of wool from this State
Fix this textto date have amounted to 467,058 bales, being an
Fix this textincrease of just over 110,000 bales.
Fix this textThe wheat market has been quiet during the
Fix this textweek, with a generally easier feeling apparent.
Fix this textShippers have further* lowered their limits, as
Fix this textLondon values declined about 1/- per quarter
Fix this texton the week, cargoes offering there at about
Fix this text35/6 to 35/9 per quarter, with not many buyers.
Fix this textConsequently our shippers have found previous
Fix this textlevels unprofitable, and now are not offering
Fix this textover 3/7 % d per bushel Sydney, though millers
Fix this texthave been paying %d per bushel more.
Fix this textHolders for the most part have not been press-
Fix this texting sales, but recently they have shown more
Fix this textdisposition to sell, though not much has been
Fix this textavailable at under the 3/8 level. New wheat
Fix this texthas been coming to hand more freely, but the
Fix this textrecent heavy rains have delayed harvesting
Fix this textoperations in many districts, and there will, so
Fix this textit is thought, be an increased quantity of
Fix this textbleached wheat in consequence. The prices for
Fix this textold and new wheat have now practically come
Fix this textinto line. The only feature with regard to flour
Fix this textduring the week was the official announcement
Fix this textthat millers have decided to open the new
Fix this textseason’s campaign at the same levels as ruling
Fix this textfor old flour, viz., £9 per ton.
Fix this textNo further movement has occurred in the
Fix this textprice of butter locally, sales being fairly brisk
Fix this textfor ordinary trade requirements at 94/- for
Fix this textchoicest; but the prospects regarding the ex-
Fix this textport trade are not quite so encouraging as this
Fix this textdemand has been dull, shippers being dis-
Fix this textinclined to operate owing to there being rather
Fix this texta glut of supplies at home and a lot of the
Fix this textrecent shipments have so far been on consign-
Fix this textment. The Christmas demand has proved
Fix this textactive for hams, with the result that values
Fix this texthave appreciated, while bacon has also firmed.
Fix this textSheep-skins experienced a strong market at the
Fix this textsales, with prices fully maintained, but kan-
Fix this textgaroo, wallaby, bear and opossum skins were
Fix this textall rather weaker, especially the last-named.
Fix this textRabbit-skins met with a good competition, and
Fix this textfine qualities were firm, though inferior descrip-
Fix this texttions were weaker. Boot and harness makers
Fix this textwere not operating much at the leather sales,
Fix this textand the market was a dull one.
Fix this textIn the general markets the distributing trade
Fix this textduring the week has been active, merchants
Fix this textreporting a lot of additional repeat orders from
Fix this textthe country for all general grocery and
Fix this textChristmas goods, while the tone of prices all
Fix this textalong the line seems towards improved levels —
Fix this textespecially for fruits, nuts, preserves and tinned
Fix this textfish. The tea market has settled down to a
Fix this textquiet period, and there will not be much act-
Fix this textivity shown on the part of operators until after
Fix this textthe new year. However, the position continues
Fix this texta strong one both locally and in producing
Fix this textcentres. No improvement has been shown in
Fix this textthe demand for corn-sacks; in fact, the market
Fix this texthas become more depressed, and re-sellers have
Fix this textbeen offering at very low figures. Metals have
Fix this textremained mostly quiet, with prices of fencing
Fix this textwires and nettings generally steady.
Fix this textBusiness along York-street has been quiet, it
Fix this textbeing rather between seasons, though many of
Fix this textthe large soft-goods houses are now well for-
Fix this textward with their autumn and winter trade. The
Fix this textretail shopkeepers have been pretty busy, and
Fix this textthe expectations are for a very brisk fortnight.

Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textMelbourne.
Fix this textDecember 14, 1910.
Fix this textTrade amongst the whole-
Fix this textsale houses has continued
Fix this textbrisk, and the Christmas
Fix this textdemand this year has
Fix this textturned out to be good and
Fix this textactive, the public being in a position to spend
Fix this textmoney pretty freely. In the country, the squat-
Fix this textters, wheat-growers and dairy-farmers are all
Fix this textdoing well, this being the mainspring for
Fix this textcountry and town alike; while in Melbourne
Fix this textand suburbs employment is better than for
Fix this textmayn years past; and the principal problem is
Fix this textto obtain suitable labour for any class of work
Fix this textrequiring expedience, not to speak of the diffi-
Fix this textculty of getting boys to train up from the
Fix this textbeginning. With plenty of money realised or
Fix this textabout to be realised in the country districts
Fix this textfrom this season’s production, and with the
Fix this textmetropolitan population so well employed as it
Fix this textis, the foundation for trade is a solid one, and
Fix this textany drawbacks can only be put down to special
Fix this textcauses. The fickleness of the climate is re-
Fix this textsponsible for the slow retail demand for cotton
Fix this textgoods and other summer goods, but apart from
Fix this textthis, the soft-goods trade has not been a bad
Fix this textone during the last few months. The wholesale
Fix this textironmongery trade has been busy with orders
Fix this textfor all classes of miscellaneous goods, though
Fix this textthe demand for such lines as fencing wire has
Fix this textslackened off as usual at this time of the year.
Fix this textOils and paints have been selling freely, and the
Fix this textdemand for building materials is well sustained.
Fix this textThe wholesale grocery houses have been very
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
