TRADE REPORT  

Sydney.  

The revenue for New South Wales for January  

showed decrease of £92,518, but this shrinkage  

was due to falling off in the item of general  

receipts. Last January the Commonwealth Gov-  

ernment paid £220,296 interest on transferred pro-  

perties, so that the drop in this item has been, so  

far, extraordinary- In other respects the revenue for the month has  

shown fair expansion, especially as regards land revenue, railways  

and tramways- Taking the revenue for the first seven months of  

the current year the increase has only been £115,638, which must be  

taken as disappointing as compared with the previous three years,  

though doubtless the last five months of the current year will give  

better results- For the seven months ended January 31st the revenue  

for this State amounted to £ 8,833,683- The chief increases were as  

follows: Railways, £3,961,649 (increase, £145,034); tramways, £1,021,523  

(increase, £124,611); land revenue, £1,085,585 (increase, £ 61,448), land  

tax, £116,768 (increase, £71,648);' Harbour Trust, £262,662 (increase,  

£30,651); Water and Sewerage, £350,155- (increase, £26,443). The prin-  

cipal decrease of the seven months was in the return from stamps,  

£359,381, or £199,317 less-  

The expenditure charged to revenue, however, has grown much  

more rapidly during the past seven months, ncluding the payments  

made to the Public Works fund, the outgoing having amounted to  

£10,424,936, or an increase of £1,680,151. Then there is the loan expen-  

diture, which has amounted to £5,418,016, or an increase of £2,267,493.  

This heavy expenditure must help to keep the money market tight-  

Still, from the balance-sheets of our trading companies recently pub-  

lished, it is quite evident that times have been pretty good- The Syd-  

ney banks’ clearings for the first four weeks of the new year have  

likewise shown an increase of close upon £2,000,000, as compared with  

the corresponding period last year, whidb demonstrates that trade has  

been more than maintained- The strength of the investment stock mar-  

ket on the Sydney Stock Exchange, which has been more pronounced  

during the week, shows that people are more anxious to find good  

securities than to sell them- The general relapse in industrial metals  

in England, due to the growing seriousness of the Ealkan situation,  

has been reflected in our mining market, which' has been generally  

lifeless during the week-  

The Sydney wool market has passed through quiet period, there  

having been no auction sales held during the week, and buyers have  

been away attending the Brisbane sales- The weekly sales have closed  

in Sydney for the season, but there will be some clearing-up sales here  

on February 10th to 12th inclusive- The shortage of wool this season  

has been shown in the wool receipts at Sydney and in Victoria; the de-  

crease in Sydney up to Tuesday being 122,511 bales; and the net de-  

crease in Victoria, up to Saturday last, 119,602 bales' —a total decrease  

in the two States of 242,113 bales-- If the quantities were compared in  

weight, instead of bales, the shortage would be greater; as when com-  

parisons were made of weights of bales few weeks ago the Vic-  

torian bale averaged 15 lbs- less, and the Sydney bale 12 lbs- less than  

the clip sold in the two States during the 1911-12 season-  

The offerings and sales in the principal inter-State centres for  

the season to date, compared with the. corresponding period last year,  

are as follows:  

Season 1912-13- Season 1911-12-

■ t,  

Business in wheat during the week has been fairly quiet, as shippers  

have not received much encouragement from London prices, which have  

ranged fromb 37/9 to 38/3 per quarter, according to date of shipmeM- 1-  

These prices, with the extreme freights ruling, have rendered shippers’  

limits about 3/6y to 3/6% per bushel, but farmers have not been  

rushing sales at these levels- The future of the wheat market will  

doubtless depend good deal on the Balkan situation. Shippers are  

naturally watching events with keen interest; Also, they believe that  

freights will ease in the near future, which will enable them to give  

so much more for their wheat- Deliveries of wheat into Sydney have  

been below expectations for the reason that there has been lack of  

haulage power on the railways, and the congestion up country has  

been fairly acute-' During the week the grain section cf the Sydney  

-Chamber of Commerce, in the presence of Government officials and  

members of the wheat trade, fixed the F-A-Q- standard for the -cur-  

rent campaign at 62% lbs-, or lb- higher than last season, but lb-  

lower than the new Victorian Standard-  

Operations in general produce during the week have been satis-  

factory, and values have generally been well sustained- Large sup-  

plies of all descriptions of forage lines have continued to arrive from  

the country, but dry weather has been experienced in most districts,  

so the supply is likely to be reduced in the near future: The butter
