Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textSydney.
Fix this textBusiness in most sections of the markets during
Fix this textthe week has been steadily maintained. Consid-
Fix this textering the fine season, it cannot be said that trade
Fix this textis as brisk as it should. The fact of the matter
Fix this textis that transactions are small and frequent, and
Fix this texttherefore do not loom large individually. Still,
Fix this textour trade returns and banks’ clearings show that in the aggregate a
Fix this textsatisfactory progress has been made. For the first 44 weeks of the
Fix this textcurrent year the clearings through the Sydney banks’ pool have
Fix this textamounted to £286,962,850, or to £11,759,045 more than for the corre-
Fix this textsponding period last year. The returns of the Sydney Branch of the
Fix this textKoyal Mint emphasise a decreasing gold yield. During October, 35,
Fix this textfine oz., valued at £151,894 were received, as against 46,649 fine oz.,
Fix this textvalued at £198,308 for the previous October. For the first ten months
Fix this textthe gold received was 457,730 fine oz., valued at £1,944,312, as com-
Fix this textpared with 497,167 fine oz., valued at £2,037,286 for the corresponding
Fix this textperiod last year.
Fix this textOn the Sydney Stock Exchange, sales of investments have been
Fix this textnumerous during the week, and the market for well-known securities
Fix this texthas kept very firm. Bank shares and those large pastoral companies
Fix this texthave appreciated in sympathy with the splendid seasonal prospects.
Fix this textIn the mining section, the slump in industrial metals, more particu-
Fix this textlarly in copper, has materially depreciated the value of mining shares.
Fix this textThe week has been a bad one for the holder.
Fix this textThe Sydney wool sales have progressed favourably for the grower.
Fix this textFine wools have sold readily at top prices, while the demand for me-
Fix this textdium and good wools has displayed more activity. Faulty sorts have
Fix this textcontinued irregular. The catalogues have been larger, and embraced
Fix this texta wider selection. Bidding has been animated and well distributed.
Fix this textTransactions to date have been as follows:
Fix this text1912-13. 1913-14.
Fix this textBales. Bales.
Fix this textCatalogued 247,322 ~ 314,005

Fix this textTotal Sales 258,737 .. 316,092
Fix this textThe Sydney wheat market has developed more strength just re-
Fix this textcently, in sympathy with firmer conditions in London. The reported
Fix this textadverse weather conditions in the Argentine, and dry weather in India,
Fix this texthave stiffened oversea prices a little. Business has been practically
Fix this textconfined to new grain. Shippers have been offering 3/5% per bushel
Fix this texton trucks Sydney for January-March deliveries, and 3/6 for January -
Fix this text,Tune deliveries. Farmers, however, have not been free sellers. Pros-
Fix this textpects for the harvest continue most encouraging, and it looks like
Fix this textbeing another complete record. By the time the old wheat is used up
Fix this textthis State will have exported about 16,000,000 bushels in wheat and flour.
Fix this textIn the general markets the Christmas trade has begun to show
Fix this textup well. There is a great scarcity of hams, which naturally command
Fix this texthigh figures. Bacon, on the other hand, is plentiful, and looks like
Fix this textseeing lower prices. The cheese market has been rather over-supplied,
Fix this textand there is some talk of exporting to maintain values. The butter
Fix this textmarket has ruled quiet, and the level of 103/- per cwt. for choicest
Fix this textbrands has not been altered. Forage lines have met with but limited
Fix this textinquiry, on account of the abundant feed throughout the State, and
Fix this textonly prime qualities have been moving. Large shipments of African
Fix this textand Java maize to arrive have weakened the maize market in Sydney.
Fix this textReviewing the import markets for the week, the chief character-
Fix this textistic has been the steadiness of prices. Nuts, fruits, preserves and
Fix this textgeneral Christmas goods have been selling briskly, and values look
Fix this textlike keeping very firm. It is reported that figs, almonds, and raisins
Fix this textare likely to be scarce. In heavy metals, the demand has proved slack,
Fix this textbut the farmer is too busy just now for fencing and renovating his
Fix this textholding. The spot market for wires has kept firm, but there are
Fix this textcheaper shipments arriving shortly. Nettings have experienced an ex-
Fix this textceedingly dull market. Building materials have received fair atten-
Fix this texttion. The turnover in harvesting requisites has been well sustained.
Fix this textIt seems as if the cornsack market has seen top levels. There have
Fix this textbeen sellers at distinctly lower levels than previously prevailed. The
Fix this textbranbag position has received a very sharp set-back on account of
Fix this textthe break in Calcutta prices. Shipments of cornsacks in sight are
Fix this textlarge, but there will be increased harvests to bag.
Fix this textThe large retail establishments have had a fair time recently,
Fix this textalthough they report trade quiet for the season, and are inclined to
Fix this textgrumble at the tightness of money.
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
