Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textSydney.
Fix this textThe revenue for New South Wales for January
Fix this textshowed a decrease of £92,518, but this shrinkage
Fix this textwas due to a falling off in the item of general
Fix this textreceipts. Last January the Commonwealth Gov-
Fix this texternment paid £220,296 interest on transferred pro-
Fix this textperties, so that the drop in this item has been, so
Fix this textfar, extraordinary- In other respects the revenue for the month has
Fix this textshown fair expansion, especially as regards land revenue, railways
Fix this textand tramways- Taking the revenue for the first seven months of
Fix this textthe current year the increase has only been £115,638, which must be
Fix this texttaken as disappointing as compared with the previous three years,
Fix this textthough doubtless the last five months of the current year will give
Fix this textbetter results- For the seven months ended January 31st the revenue
Fix this textfor this State amounted to £ 8,833,683- The chief increases were as
Fix this textfollows: Railways, £3,961,649 (increase, £145,034); tramways, £1,021,523
Fix this text(increase, £124,611); land revenue, £1,085,585 (increase, £ 61,448), land
Fix this texttax, £116,768 (increase, £71,648);' Harbour Trust, £262,662 (increase,
Fix this text£30,651); Water and Sewerage, £350,155- (increase, £26,443). The prin-
Fix this textcipal decrease of the seven months was in the return from stamps,
Fix this text£359,381, or £199,317 less-
Fix this textThe expenditure charged to revenue, however, has grown much
Fix this textmore rapidly during the past seven months, ncluding the payments
Fix this textmade to the Public Works fund, the outgoing having amounted to
Fix this text£10,424,936, or an increase of £1,680,151. Then there is the loan expen-
Fix this textditure, which has amounted to £5,418,016, or an increase of £2,267,493.
Fix this textThis heavy expenditure must help to keep the money market tight-
Fix this textStill, from the balance-sheets of our trading companies recently pub-
Fix this textlished, it is quite evident that times have been pretty good- The Syd-
Fix this textney banks’ clearings for the first four weeks of the new year have
Fix this textlikewise shown an increase of close upon £2,000,000, as compared with
Fix this textthe corresponding period last year, whidb demonstrates that trade has
Fix this textbeen more than maintained- The strength of the investment stock mar-
Fix this textket on the Sydney Stock Exchange, which has been more pronounced
Fix this textduring the week, shows that people are more anxious to find good
Fix this textsecurities than to sell them- The general relapse in industrial metals
Fix this textin England, due to the growing seriousness of the Ealkan situation,
Fix this texthas been reflected in our mining market, which' has been generally
Fix this textlifeless during the week-
Fix this textThe Sydney wool market has passed through a quiet period, there
Fix this texthaving been no auction sales held during the week, and buyers have
Fix this textbeen away attending the Brisbane sales- The weekly sales have closed
Fix this textin Sydney for the season, but there will be some clearing-up sales here
Fix this texton February 10th to 12th inclusive- The shortage of wool this season
Fix this texthas been shown in the wool receipts at Sydney and in Victoria; the de-
Fix this textcrease in Sydney up to Tuesday being 122,511 bales; and the net de-
Fix this textcrease in Victoria, up to Saturday last, 119,602 bales' —a total decrease
Fix this textin the two States of 242,113 bales-- If the quantities were compared in
Fix this textweight, instead of bales, the shortage would be greater; as when com-
Fix this textparisons were made of weights of bales a few weeks ago the Vic-
Fix this texttorian bale averaged 15 lbs- less, and the Sydney bale 12 lbs- less than

Fix this textBusiness in wheat during the week has been fairly quiet, as shippers
Fix this texthave not received much encouragement from London prices, which have
Fix this textranged fromb 37/9 to 38/3 per quarter, according to date of shipmeM- 1-
Fix this textThese prices, with the extreme freights ruling, have rendered shippers’
Fix this textlimits about 3/6y 2 to 3/6% per bushel, but farmers have not been
Fix this textrushing sales at these levels- The future of the wheat market will
Fix this textdoubtless depend a good deal on the Balkan situation. Shippers are
Fix this textnaturally watching events with keen interest; Also, they believe that
Fix this textfreights will ease in the near future, which will enable them to give
Fix this textso much more for their wheat- Deliveries of wheat into Sydney have
Fix this textbeen below expectations for the reason that there has been a lack of
Fix this texthaulage power on the railways, and the congestion up country has
Fix this textbeen fairly acute-' During the week the grain section cf the Sydney
Fix this text-Chamber of Commerce, in the presence of Government officials and
Fix this textmembers of the wheat trade, fixed the F-A-Q- standard for the -cur-
Fix this textrent campaign at 62% lbs-, or % lb- higher than last season, but % lb-
Fix this textlower than the new Victorian Standard-
Fix this textOperations in general produce during the week have been satis-
Fix this textfactory, and values have generally been well sustained- Large sup-
Fix this textplies of all descriptions of forage lines have continued to arrive from
Fix this textthe country, but dry weather has been experienced in most districts,
Fix this textso the supply is likely to be reduced in the near future: The butter
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
