Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textSydney.
Fix this textSome splendid rains have fallen over the State
Fix this textduring the week, which has rendered'• the outlook
Fix this textfor the autumn more reassuring. The country in
Fix this textparts was beginning to become excessively parched-
Fix this textAutumn crops and pasturage were suffering, and
Fix this textbutter and milk supplies were falling off, with the
Fix this textresultant advance in values for general fodder lines and foodstuffs-
Fix this textHowever, the rains have come, and the position is more satisfactory •
Fix this textIn Queensland and South Australia the falls in places were too heavy,
Fix this textand wrought considerable damage to property, but the falls in New
Fix this textSouth Wales have been quieter, and have done little or no damage .to
Fix this textproperty, even to our wheat, which has now been harvested-
Fix this textBusiness in most directions has kept steady, as our banks cleai -
Fix this textings and Customs collections demonstrate, and merchants and retailers
Fix this textreport a good flow of autumn trade, with country orders showing some
Fix this textincrease. The money market continues fairly stringent, but the bank
Fix this textand other financial institutions have pursued a necessarily conserva-
Fix this texttive policy, because State expenditure has been heavy, and committ-
Fix this textments for the future are large- The loan expenditure for New South
Fix this textWales, (not touching the expenditure out of revenue.) for the year
Fix this text1911-12 totalled £ 5,491,103—equal to £5/5/8 per head- —— ~
Fix this textOn the Sydney Stock Exchange, investment stocks have commanded
Fix this textplenty of attention- Naturally, there has been some irregularity in
Fix this textquotations, but this was to be expected after the very strong upward
Fix this texttendency which characterised prices during the first weeks of the
Fix this textNeiw Year. Mining shares have ruled quiet, with a general weak-
Fix this textness, due to the unsatisfactory markets which have prevailed in Eng-
Fix this textland for industrial metal's-
Fix this textWool sales were held during the week, catalogues amounting to
Fix this textabout 22,000 bales being submitted- The selection was an attractive
Fix this textone for the season of the year, including some nice southern wools
Fix this textand good clearing clips; also some very nice scoured wools- Com-
Fix this textpetition throughout the sales was exceedingly brisk and well distributed,
Fix this textwhile prices closed the series at top levels- The next Sydney sales are
Fix this texttimed to commence on April Bth and to continue to the 10th inclusive-
Fix this textCatalogues offered this season to date have amounted to 622,741 bales,
Fix this textof which 562,726 bales have been sold at auction- Private transactions
Fix this texthave represented 44,478 bales, making the total sales 616,356 bales-
Fix this textThe corresponding figures last year were: Catalogued, 730,031 bales;
Fix this textsold at auction, 632,052 bales; sold privately, 68,954 bales; total sales,
Fix this text701,006 bales. The shipments of wool from this State so far this
Fix this textseason have amounted to 654,589 bales, or 30,136 bales less than for
Fix this textthe corresponding period last year- The exports from the Common-
Fix this textwealth for the seven months have amounted to 1,397,273 bales, or
Fix this text112,432 bales less than for the corresponding period last-year-
Fix this textThere has been a firmer tendency in the local wheat market dur-
Fix this texting the week, that is, for prompt delivery, due in a measure to
Fix this textthe delay in the wheat arrivals from the country, and shippers waiting
Fix this textto fill up freight space- Also, farmers still cling to the belief that
Fix this textthe market will be a firmer one in the future. Shippers have been
Fix this textoperating pretty freely when able up to 3/7% per bushel on trucks
Fix this textSydney, but few parcels have been offering at under 3/7% per bushel-
Fix this textLondon prices for Australian cargoes have remained fairly steady at
Fix this textabout 38/- to 38/3 per quarter for January/February shipment, while
Fix this textthe Liverpool option market for “futures” has slightly improved on
Fix this textthe week- Values in the Chicago “pit” for future deliveries, however,
Fix this texthave come back a point or two just recently. The quantities of
Fix this textwheat stacks on country railway stations and Darling Island total
Fix this text3,634,666 bags- The shipments of wheat and flour from New South
Fix this textWales to oversea destinations have represented the equivalent of
Fix this textabout 3,000,000 bushels of wheat, while the Commonwealth shipments
Fix this texthave totalled approximately 9,500,000 bushels.
Fix this textGeneral produce lines have met with an average turnover- The
Fix this textlocal butter market has been on the dull side, choicest brands falling
Fix this text2/- per cwt- easier in the week, the current quotation being 96/- per
Fix this textcwt-, with good quantities selling from 92/- to 94/- per cwt- Supplies
Fix this textfrom the coastal districts have kept up, but inland production has
Fix this textdecreased- • In forage lines, chaff, both local and imported varieties,
Fix this texthas eased somewhat since the rains; but lucerne has kept firm- Bran
Fix this textand pollard have continued very scarce, and the association's prices
Fix this texthave been raised another 5/- per ton, but there has been little avail-
Fix this textable at the new levels-
Fix this textThe turnover in the import market has been a good average one,
Fix this textand merchants look forward to an enlarged country demand- The dis-
Fix this texttributing trade in all groceries, especially tinned and salt fish and
Fix this textother Lenten goods has been very active, and prices well sustained-
Fix this textAll fruits have likewise kept very firm- The week has, however, seen
Fix this texta drop of £1 per ton in some makes of oatmeal and rolled oats-
Fix this textCanary seed, on the other hand, has advanced £2 per ton- Metals
Fix this texthave been quiet, but fencing wires and nettings have been going out
Fix this textin small quantities, and holders have been generally firm- In jute, the
Fix this textchief excitement has been in bran bags, which, owing to the small
Fix this textshipments by the January steamer, the market has advanced to 7/6.
Fix this textOther jute goods have remained practically unchanged- The market

Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
