Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textSydney.
Fix this textBusiness has continued more or less disorganised
Fix this texton account of the epidemic, and delays in making
Fix this textthe new month’s delivery were general. Still,
Fix this texttrade has kept pretty brisk, save in softgoods,
Fix this textwhich have undoubtedly experienced*a bad autumn
Fix this textand winter season. I'hfe Souths Wales, reve-
Fix this textnue for July, the first month of the new financial .year. shQjved satis-
Fix this textfactory collections, totalling £1,235,051 —an increase of £ 117,049 as
Fix this textcompared with the previous July. The chief items were: Railways,
Fix this text£504,998 (increase, £70,241);. tramways, £143,966 (increase, £9,980);
Fix this textCommonwealth refunds, £181,557 (increase, £10,9f5);' income tax,
Fix this text£52,594 (increase, £14,145); and stamps, £79,536 (increase, £13,871).
Fix this textThe expenditure out of revenue amounted to £1,530,403, or an excess
Fix this textof £315,352 over revenue. The expenditure out of loans during the
Fix this textmonth totalled £660,694. * / '} ,
Fix this textThe exports from Sydney during seven the year have
Fix this textnot been up to recent yearSj some., fairly extensive decreases being
Fix this text-noted in the shipments of wool, skins, butter, tallow, copper, timber
Fix this textand tin. However, the shipments of hides, mutton, meats, hares, rab-
Fix this textbits and wheat were substantially larger. * d
Fix this textThe Sydney wool market has ruled quiet, business having been
Fix this textchiefly confined to the purchasing of lots passed in from the previous
Fix this textweek’s auctions. The market at those sales reflected the weaker tone
Fix this textrecently depicted at the London sales, and prices were generally about
Fix this text5 per cent, lower than they were at the commencement of July. How-
Fix this textever, buyers were keen operators, and the sales put through since have
Fix this textgenerally been at slightly higher levels than those offered in the room.
Fix this textThe outlook for values is encouraging, and even supposing there Is
Fix this textsome easing, levels are very considerably above the average. Shearing
Fix this textis progressing more rapidly throughout the State. The only Austra-
Fix this textlian wool sales timed to take place this month are the postponed Bris-
Fix this textbane sales, to be held on the 26th to 28th inst., when about 40,000
Fix this textbales will be offered. At the Sydney sales since July 1 (new wool
Fix this textyear), some 21,385 bales have been offered, and 16,577 bales sold at
Fix this textauction. Including private transactions, the sales have totalled 20,981
Fix this textbales, as compared with 10,141 bales for the corresponding period last
Fix this textyear. However, there will be no further auctions in Sydney before
Fix this textthe first week in September. •*'
Fix this textBusiness in wheat circles has ruled quiet, with values virtually
Fix this textunchanged. London operations have been somewhat curtailed by
Fix this textreason of the August holiday, while the generally splendid reports of
Fix this textcrops from all growing countries has helped to check speculation and
Fix this textweaken values. London values for cargoes have kept in the region
Fix this textof 37/- per quarter, so that Sydney shippers have been mostly willing
Fix this textto pay 3/8 per bushel Sydney for a prompt parcel. Holders have con-
Fix this texttinued firm in the region of 3/8%, so it has been difficult to bring
Fix this textbuyer and seller together. Prospects for the coming season continue
Fix this textvery bright, but our stocks of wheat are still too large for the time of
Fix this textyear. Our exports have now almost reached the 12,000,000 level.
Fix this textThe market for butter has ruled quiet but steady at the previous
Fix this textweek’s levels, and there has been practically no alterations in other
Fix this textdairy lines. Forage of all descriptions has been in plentiful supply,
Fix this textand prices for the better qualities of hay, chaff and lucerne have been
Fix this textwell sustained. In the import markets merchants have had their hands
Fix this textfull in making their new month’s deliveries, and it is too early in
Fix this textthe month for much fresh ordering to take place. Still, general grocery
Fix this textlines have moved out freely enough, and at full rates. The low prices
Fix this textprevailing for wire nettings have continued to attract a good deal of
Fix this textcountry buying, and it would surprise few of the trade to see prioes
Fix this textmake again. Kerosene and burning oils have moved out in fair volume,
Fix this textbut linseed and other seed oils, paints, colours, leads and house decor-
Fix this textating lines have been showing the usual winter slackness. Station oils
Fix this textand tars have been selling freely. In jute, the market for bran bags
Fix this texthas come down with a run. A lack of demand from the country,
Fix this textheavy accumulations of stocks and further shipments to. arrive have
Fix this textplayed into the hands of the “bears.” Cornsacks, on the other hand,
Fix this textin view of the fine harvest prospects, have kept very firnv
Fix this textOn the Sydney Stock Exchange, investment-stocks have experi-
Fix this textenced a steady market, and mining shares have appreciated slightly,
Fix this textwith the better prices cabled for industrial metals. The companies’
Fix this textreports issued during the month have generally been satisfactory, and
Fix this textdividends in nearly all cases have been well sustained. Money con-
Fix this texttinues fairly tight, but there have been numerous calls of late' on
Fix this textboth public and private finances.

Fix this textTRADE REPORT
Fix this textMelbourne.
Fix this textAugust 6th, 1913.
Fix this textVictorian trade continues to be rather dragging in
Fix this textcharacter, though there is a fair volume of demand.
Fix this textProspects in the country are favourable, the main
Fix this textthing required being a moderate amount of Vain-
Fix this textfall from time to time, and especially during Sep-
Fix this texttember and October —the critical months for the
Fix this textwheat crops. The existence, of a certain degree of monetary stringency
Fix this textis, however, adverse to anything in the way of expansion of business
Fix this textuntil the time when the proceeds of the wool clip, butter production and
Fix this textthe harvest become available, and until then it is anticipated that trade
Fix this textwill be more or less restricted. The wholesale softgoods houses are
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
