rber, which report
rat during the fortnight there had been an
_mproved tone in business matters, and greater
confidence was manifested in commercial circles,
as it was presumed that those parties who had
stood during the recent crisis, were carrying
on a legitimate business, and were worthy
of the confidence placed in them. -Insol-
vencies, however, continued pretty numerous, but
they were not generally composed of the class
carrying on an extensive business, and therefore,
not likely to injure others to any serious amount.
A good deal of business had been done, and the
Sydney Empire adds :—" And we have good reason
to believe that a good trade is again springing up
with that port, which will help to work off a large
amount of stocks which must haVe accumulated in
merchants' hands, during the past stagnation in
commercial affairs. In town trade at present, there
is not so much doing as we might expect at the
present season ; but we are confident that ere
long, an impetus will be given to business which
will in a great measure help us to forget the ordeal
through which the country has lately passed. The
large arrivals of wheat and flour from abroad dur-
ing the past few days, with the prospect of an
abundant harvest, (the whole of which is nearly
ready for the sickle), cannot fail to have a depres-
sing influence on these articles, and we expect,
before our next issue, the staff of life' will be con-
siderably lower in price, as we are convinced that
the present price of bread is adding no small quota
to the present depressed state of things."
We annex the tariff of duties payable on the
following articles imported into Sydney, all other
merchandise being admitted duty free, from all
countries, and under any flag :

Beer, &c., bulk, per gallon
do. bottled, do.
Coffee, chicory, per lb

The amount of exports and imports for the
year 1855, compared with the three previous
years, exhibits a decline of a considerable amount
in both. The items are as follows :

Imports. Exports.
1852 .. £1,900,436 £4,604,034
1853 .. 6,342,397 4,523,346
18.54 .. 5,981,063 . 4,040,126
1855 2,908,122 .. 2,354,530
The quantity of gold. exported from New South
Wales was diminishing, in consequence of the
coinage at the Mint, but still the yield of the
(-told fields was .
‘small compared with those of
Victoria. Up
.to the 14th December, the total
exported since the opening of the gold fields
in May, 1851, was only 1.920,589 ounces.
Valued at 73s per ounce, this gives, 7,202,2121.,
or very little more than the annual export from
Victoria.

The Liverpool Corn Market was rather firm

to-day, and prices improved for wheat 2d per
bushel, and for flour froth 6d. to is. per barrel and
sack.

Mr. F. J. Eaton's circular of this day gives the
following report of the Tallow Market:—
Although there' has been more business done in the
London market, it has been a gradually declining rates ;
at the close yesterday the nearest quotations were 56s 9d
to 57s for the month, 53s April, and 51s per cwt, for
Oct. Dec. For sorts there is an increasing inquiry, and
at rather advanced rates. The stock is now 23,123 casks,
against 36,079 casks in 1855, and the half-week delivery
539 casks, against 719 last year. Holders show a dispo-
sition to realize, there has been more doing here, than.for
some time past, and several hundred casks have changed
hands including P.Y.C, at 57s to 58s. N. American at 50s
to 545, and home melted at 49s to 49s 6d per cwt.
