GOO,OOO AUSTRALIAN CONDITIONS. At tho half-yearly meeting of the sharc- .". holders of the Bank J>f-New South Wales, held in Sydney last week, the chairman of the bank, > in speaking of the general conditions" of/the; country, said that the winter had/been a very dry one, and at one time it was feared that losses of sheep in the State would 1 be very heavy. The situation was relieved before very much damage was done, and though the losses had still been considerable, after taking lambs into account, the numbers of sheep in New South Wales were probably equal to last year's, while other States had held their own in this -respect. The wool clip, though smaller in quantity, was probably nearly equal to last year's in value. In' the eastern States, the harvest had practically been a failure. He anticipated that taking Australia as a whole, there would be enough wheat for local requirements, but very : little, if any, for export. The dairy industry had, of course, felt the effects of the dry season materially, and the ' export of butter would be much less than last yoar. Enough' rain had I now fallen to make the position fairly safe, and they might, reasonably expect good falls within tho next few months. The metal market had been capricious, and prices had fallen considerably. This would unfortunately tend to check enterprise in that direction; but was probably connected to some extent with the disturbance in the money market he \vould refer , to later. NOTES. The aggregato balance-sheet of the Bank of New South Wales for the half-year ended September 30 is published in this issuo. A laundry company with a capital of .CSOOO in i£l shares is now being . floated in Wanganui. Mr. R.
