We have our files of papers from Sydney to the
13th of October. The Empire gives the following
weekly review of the import trade :
With the exception of the business of our auction sales,
no transaction.; worthy of attention have taken place during
the week. The prevailing want of confidence among the
middle class of tradesmen operates, to a large evtent, to
produce dullness in trade. To-day, it is reported, that an
extensive grocer has stopped payment to the extent of some
£33,000. In this case, however, it is said that, under any
es' will show substantial assets.

BRANDY: Although it iq stated that there is a move in
the Port INlip trade having an upward tendency, prices
have been, if anything lower. The highest figure obtained
at auction for Martelt's brandy was 13s ; Elennessy's, 12s to
12., 6.1. Other brands in proportion, though they are not
much inquired for.

GENEVA : The best brands, such as "JDKZ, and key, are
quoted at 19s to 193 6.1, though this decline from former
rates will probably be of short duration.
WlNES.—Market dull, but few transactions. First-
class port winei are very scarce, and holders are want-
ing long prices. Sherry is rather more plentiful, and
continues in good demand for general consumption.
WHISKE?.—There is very lit tle inquiry. The market
is not overstocked, yet the season of the year is against
much trade.

TEAS.—Market steady, and tolerably firm, the only
trade being for•home consumption.
CoFFEE.—lnquires have been made for the Melbourne
trade, and some two or three hundred bags were sent
down. Several private specJations have taken place for
Java coffee ; prices not transpired.

exhibited during the proceeding week has subsided.

ware, elastic sides, and of good qualities, command ready

• The Sydney Herald, of the 11th, in its commer-
cial article, gives the following report of the result
of a recent negotiation of the government with the
banks of. New South Wales for a temporary loan
of £OOO.OOO -

About a forty

-..ght since, the Government sent a circular
ks, showing that, in order to carry out the
authorised by the legislature, it
would be requisite to raise about 900,0001 by the Ist of
June next, and inquiring what amount of debentures the
banks would be prepared to purchasrt, or in what way
they could assist the government. Various proposals
were sent in, and the offer of the Bank of New South
Wales for the whole amount has been accepted. The bank,

each; and if they cannot be sold at that rate the bank is
to hold them until they become due. No charge is to be
made for the money, but on the sale of the debentures the
bank is to be paid one per cent and-the brokerage, which
it is supposed will be about one-eighth per cent. These
terms are considered to be extremely favourable to the
government.
The following station sale in New South Wales,
is interesting at the present time :

Messrs. Mort and Co., on account of Mr. John Walker,
who is about to proceed to Europe. The desirable
position of the stations, being about seventy-five miles
from Bathurst, and the value of the various improve-
