TRADE REPORT  

Sydney.  

Some splendid rains have fallen over the State  

during the week, which has rendered'• the outlook  

for the autumn more reassuring. The country in  

parts was beginning to become excessively parched-  

Autumn crops and pasturage were suffering, and  

butter and milk supplies were falling off, with the  

resultant advance in values for general fodder lines and foodstuffs-  

However, the rains have come, and the position is more satisfactory •  

In Queensland and South Australia the falls in places were too heavy,  

and wrought considerable damage to property, but the falls in New  

South Wales have been quieter, and have done little or no damage .to  

property, even to our wheat, which has now been harvested-  

Business in most directions has kept steady, as our banks cleai  

ings and Customs collections demonstrate, and merchants and retailers  

report good flow of autumn trade, with country orders showing some  

increase. The money market continues fairly stringent, but the bank  

and other financial institutions have pursued necessarily conserva-  

tive policy, because State expenditure has been heavy, and committ-  

ments for the future are large- The loan expenditure for New South  

Wales, (not touching the expenditure out of revenue.) for the year  

1911-12 totalled £ 5,491,103—equal to £5/5/8 per head- ——  

On the Sydney Stock Exchange, investment stocks have commanded  

plenty of attention- Naturally, there has been some irregularity in  

quotations, but this was to be expected after the very strong upward  

tendency which characterised prices during the first weeks of the  

Neiw Year. Mining shares have ruled quiet, with general weak-  

ness, due to the unsatisfactory markets which have prevailed in Eng-  

land for industrial metal's-  

Wool sales were held during the week, catalogues amounting to  

about 22,000 bales being submitted- The selection was an attractive  

one for the season of the year, including some nice southern wools  

and good clearing clips; also some very nice scoured wools- Com-  

petition throughout the sales was exceedingly brisk and well distributed,  

while prices closed the series at top levels- The next Sydney sales are  

timed to commence on April Bth and to continue to the 10th inclusive-  

Catalogues offered this season to date have amounted to 622,741 bales,  

of which 562,726 bales have been sold at auction- Private transactions  

have represented 44,478 bales, making the total sales 616,356 bales-  

The corresponding figures last year were: Catalogued, 730,031 bales;  

sold at auction, 632,052 bales; sold privately, 68,954 bales; total sales,  

701,006 bales. The shipments of wool from this State so far this  

season have amounted to 654,589 bales, or 30,136 bales less than for  

the corresponding period last year- The exports from the Common-  

wealth for the seven months have amounted to 1,397,273 bales, or  

112,432 bales less than for the corresponding period last-year-  

There has been firmer tendency in the local wheat market dur-  

ing the week, that is, for prompt delivery, due in measure to  

the delay in the wheat arrivals from the country, and shippers waiting  

to fill up freight space- Also, farmers still cling to the belief that  

the market will be firmer one in the future. Shippers have been  

operating pretty freely when able up to 3/7% per bushel on trucks  

Sydney, but few parcels have been offering at under 3/7% per bushel-  

London prices for Australian cargoes have remained fairly steady at  

about 38/- to 38/3 per quarter for January/February shipment, while  

the Liverpool option market for “futures” has slightly improved on  

the week- Values in the Chicago “pit” for future deliveries, however,  

have come back point or two just recently. The quantities of  

wheat stacks on country railway stations and Darling Island total  

3,634,666 bags- The shipments of wheat and flour from New South  

Wales to oversea destinations have represented the equivalent of  

about 3,000,000 bushels of wheat, while the Commonwealth shipments  

have totalled approximately 9,500,000 bushels.  

General produce lines have met with an average turnover- The  

local butter market has been on the dull side, choicest brands falling  

2/- per cwt- easier in the week, the current quotation being 96/- per  

cwt-, with good quantities selling from 92/- to 94/- per cwt- Supplies  

from the coastal districts have kept up, but inland production has  

decreased- • In forage lines, chaff, both local and imported varieties,  

has eased somewhat since the rains; but lucerne has kept firm- Bran  

and pollard have continued very scarce, and the association's prices  

have been raised another 5/- per ton, but there has been little avail-  

able at the new levels-  

The turnover in the import market has been good average one,  

and merchants look forward to an enlarged country demand- The dis-  

tributing trade in all groceries, especially tinned and salt fish and  

other Lenten goods has been very active, and prices well sustained-  

All fruits have likewise kept very firm- The week has, however, seen  

drop of £1 per ton in some makes of oatmeal and rolled oats-  

Canary seed, on the other hand, has advanced £2 per ton- Metals  

have been quiet, but fencing wires and nettings have been going out  

in small quantities, and holders have been generally firm- In jute, the  

chief excitement has been in bran bags, which, owing to the small  

shipments by the January steamer, the market has advanced to 7/6.  

Other jute goods have remained practically unchanged- The market  

'for “Oils has fi’etfli likewise uninteresting.
