TRADE REPORT  

Sydney.  

Business in most sections of the markets during  

the week has been steadily maintained. Consid-  

ering the fine season, it cannot be said that trade  

is as brisk as it should. The fact of the matter  

is that transactions are small and frequent, and  

therefore do not loom large individually. Still,  

our trade returns and banks’ clearings show that in the aggregate  

satisfactory progress has been made. For the first 44 weeks of the  

current year the clearings through the Sydney banks’ pool have  

amounted to £286,962,850, or to £11,759,045 more than for the corre-  

sponding period last year. The returns of the Sydney Branch of the  

Koyal Mint emphasise decreasing gold yield. During October, 35,  

fine oz., valued at £151,894 were received, as against 46,649 fine oz.,  

valued at £198,308 for the previous October. For the first ten months  

the gold received was 457,730 fine oz., valued at £1,944,312, as com-  

pared with 497,167 fine oz., valued at £2,037,286 for the corresponding  

period last year.  

On the Sydney Stock Exchange, sales of investments have been  

numerous during the week, and the market for well-known securities  

has kept very firm. Bank shares and those large pastoral companies  

have appreciated in sympathy with the splendid seasonal prospects.  

In the mining section, the slump in industrial metals, more particu-  

larly in copper, has materially depreciated the value of mining shares.  

The week has been bad one for the holder.  

The Sydney wool sales have progressed favourably for the grower.  

Fine wools have sold readily at top prices, while the demand for me-  

dium and good wools has displayed more activity. Faulty sorts have  

continued irregular. The catalogues have been larger, and embraced  

wider selection. Bidding has been animated and well distributed.  

Transactions to date have been as follows:  

1912-13. 1913-14.  

Bales. Bales.  

Catalogued 247,322 314,005  

Sold at Auction 230,538 279,833  

Private Sales 20,199 36,259  

Total Sales 258,737 .. 316,092  

The Sydney wheat market has developed more strength just re-  

cently, in sympathy with firmer conditions in London. The reported  

adverse weather conditions in the Argentine, and dry weather in India,  

have stiffened oversea prices little. Business has been practically  

confined to new grain. Shippers have been offering 3/5% per bushel  

on trucks Sydney for January-March deliveries, and 3/6 for January  

,Tune deliveries. Farmers, however, have not been free sellers. Pros-  

pects for the harvest continue most encouraging, and it looks like  

being another complete record. By the time the old wheat is used up  

this State will have exported about 16,000,000 bushels in wheat and flour.  

In the general markets the Christmas trade has begun to show  

up well. There is great scarcity of hams, which naturally command  

high figures. Bacon, on the other hand, is plentiful, and looks like  

seeing lower prices. The cheese market has been rather over-supplied,  

and there is some talk of exporting to maintain values. The butter  

market has ruled quiet, and the level of 103/- per cwt. for choicest  

brands has not been altered. Forage lines have met with but limited  

inquiry, on account of the abundant feed throughout the State, and  

only prime qualities have been moving. Large shipments of African  

and Java maize to arrive have weakened the maize market in Sydney.  

Reviewing the import markets for the week, the chief character-  

istic has been the steadiness of prices. Nuts, fruits, preserves and  

general Christmas goods have been selling briskly, and values look  

like keeping very firm. It is reported that figs, almonds, and raisins  

are likely to be scarce. In heavy metals, the demand has proved slack,  

but the farmer is too busy just now for fencing and renovating his  

holding. The spot market for wires has kept firm, but there are  

cheaper shipments arriving shortly. Nettings have experienced an ex-  

ceedingly dull market. Building materials have received fair atten-  

tion. The turnover in harvesting requisites has been well sustained.  

It seems as if the cornsack market has seen top levels. There have  

been sellers at distinctly lower levels than previously prevailed. The  

branbag position has received very sharp set-back on account of  

the break in Calcutta prices. Shipments of cornsacks in sight are  

large, but there will be increased harvests to bag.  

The large retail establishments have had fair time recently,  

although they report trade quiet for the season, and are inclined to  

grumble at the tightness of money.
