Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textSydney.
Fix this textTrading has been of a holiday character, business
Fix this textduring the week having been confined chiefly to
Fix this textretailers, who have experienced a busy time. Tak-
Fix this texting it all round, the Christmas trade has been
Fix this textgood, the tightness of money being less in evi-
Fix this textdence. In fact, according to the shopkeeper, the
Fix this textpurchasing power of the people has been above the average. From
Fix this texta wholesale point of view, there has not been much doing, and it
Fix this textwill probably take a week or so for business to settle down after the
Fix this textholidays. Turning to our oversea trade, the eleven months’ figures
Fix this textshow considerable expansion, though the growth of the imports has
Fix this textbeen greater than that of the exports. For the eleven months, the im-
Fix this textports amounted to £29.372,711, or an increase of £4,346,686, and this
Fix this textwith a decrease of £232,863 in the gold imports. The increase in
Fix this textgeneral merchandise for the eleven months was equal to 19 per cent.,
Fix this textan undeniable testimony that our consumptive power is increasing.
Fix this textRegarding the exports, the figures are not so satisfactory. The total
Fix this textshipments from this State for the eleven months have represented
Fix this text£29,027,520, or an increase of £1,707,636. But £926,00 of this increase
Fix this texthas been made up of larger gold shipments. The splendid prices
Fix this textwhich have ruled during the year for industrial metals has helped
Fix this textthe situation considerably, but the exports of general produce have
Fix this textgenerally been below those of the previous eleven months.
Fix this textThe Sydney wool market has practically been non-existent, the
Fix this texttrade enjoying the usual half-time spell. However, auction sales re-
Fix this textcommence here on the 6th inst. From the private transactions which
Fix this texthave taken place during the past week or so, there has seemingly
Fix this textbeen no diminution in the strength of the market; in fact, prices
Fix this textrealised have mostly been in holders’ favour. There should be a \ erj
Fix this textstrong market during the latter half of the season, as the shortage
Fix this textin our clip is now undoubted. The decrease in the deliveries into
Fix this textSydney by rail and boat have amounted to 113,534 bales, while the
Fix this textVictorian deliveries have been over 122,000 less. The disparity in
Fix this textthe shipments from this State has not been so marked, though" it ts
Fix this textli rtl I rti a .
Fix this textsubstantial. To date, the shipments have amounted to 481,420 bales,
Fix this textor 81,000 bales odd less than for the corresponding period last year.
Fix this textThe catalogues offered in Sydney for the first half of the season
Fix this textamounted to 457,434 bales, of which 425.707 bales were placed at
Fix this textauction. Private sales have represented 31,326 bales, making total
Fix this texttransactions aggregate 457,033 bales. The corresponding figures last
Fix this textyear were as follows: Offered, 491,775 bales; sold at auction, 433,060
Fix this textbales; privately, 48,180; total sales, 481,240 bales.
Fix this textThe wheat market, like the other sections of trade, has been dull;
Fix this textstill, there has been a somewhat firmer feeling apparent, though the
Fix this textEnglish and American markets have generally ‘been quiet, with Aus-
Fix this texttralian cargoes worth about 37/1% to 37/3 per quarter for early ship-
Fix this textment. Shippers have been mostly offering in the region of 3/7 per
Fix this textbushel, with millers at about the same figure, though there has
Fix this textbeen some business put through at a fraction higher. Farmers for the
Fix this textmost part have not been offering too freely, and the market here
Fix this textshows an undercurrent of strength, despite the fact that the harvest
Fix this textis turning out better than was anticipated. Old flour has been selling
Fix this textsteadily at £9/10/-, and new season’s at £B/15/-.
Fix this textTurning to general produce, the Christmas trade in such lines as
Fix this texthams, bacon, butter, eggs, etc., has been very active, the large influx
Fix this textof people into the metropolis for the festive season causing heavy
Fix this textdemands on all supplies of food stuffs. Prices, too, have ruled at top
Fix this textlevels. Forage lines have been in good request, with rather higher
Fix this textprices noted for lucerne. In the import markets business has 'been
Fix this textmostly of distributing character, inter-house transactions being few
Fix this textand far between. However, values for most commodities have been
Fix this textwell sustained, especially for all seasonable grocery lines. Metals
Fix this texthave ruled quiet, as is usual at this period, b«it there has been an
Fix this textincreased inquiry for cornsacks, in view of the harvest turning out
Fix this textbetter than was expected, and the known shortage has further tended
Fix this textto stimulate the demand, sales having been effected from 6/11 to 7/-.

Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textMelbourne.
Fix this text31st December, 1912.
Fix this textThe year has been a mixed one for Victorian
Fix this texttrade, and whilst the final -esuit has been better
Fix this textthan was hoped for at some periods, the ups and
Fix this textdowns of the climate have called attention afresh
Fix this textto the possibilities which can never be forgotten
Fix this textin Australia. Af*er a run of good seasons, cul-
Fix this textminating in two excellent years, the country w r as called upon to go
Fix this textthrough a year when a diminished harvest was followed by a dry and
Fix this textlate autumn, circumstances that meant a slackening of progress for
Fix this textthe time being and also a lowering of the prospect for the new season.
Fix this textTo a partial extent the effects of the dry auturryi were overcome in the
Fix this textwinter, but dry weather in October caused a fresh set-back to the
Fix this textcrops, whilst the losses sustained by the pastoral industry have been
Fix this textreflected in the reduced wool-clip and in the smaller exports of frozen
Fix this textlambs. Under these circumstances some anxiety was felt in the autumn
Fix this textmonths until the weather broke in June, and again in the spring, be-
Fix this textfore the November rainfall revived the crops after the dry spell in
Fix this textOctober; but in each case the favourable turn of the weather enabled
Fix this textbusiness to proceed with renewed confidence. In addition to climatic
Fix this textvariations, the increase of imports as against a slight shrinkage in
Fix this textexport trade, and the growing stringency of the money market, have
Fix this textbeen strking features of the economic history of the year. These mat-
Fix this textters are closely connected with the. enlarged rate of expenditure of
Fix this textborrowed money by the Australian State Governments, which, after
Fix this textabsorbing all the money that could be raised in Australia, has necessi-
Fix this texttated recourse to London on a more liberal scale than for a long
Fix this texttime past.
Fix this textThe returns of Commonwealth trade for November show that im-
Fix this textports of merchandise amounted to £6,039,368, against £5,996,950 for
Fix this textNovember, 1911, or an increase of £42,418; and exports of merchandise
Fix this textto £9,520,863, against £8,370,065, or an increase of £1,150,798. Gold
Fix this textand specie exports for the month totalled £328,316, against £1,086,885.
