TRADE IN MELBouRNE-We have received COPY of the |
Melbourne Commercial Report and Prices Current Of
February 18TH 1885, issued by the Melbourne Brokers'
Association from which the following report of
the gloomy condition of trade at that place
MELBOURNE, Feb. Is, 1858
We are again obliged record month in no way better
than that which has just preceded the last Stagnation
and gloom prevail to alarming extent and the mail
just about to close will leave mercantile matters here in as
unhealthy state it is possible conceive Nor can
DE Sad THAT our prospects any betteras result of
course OF reckless shipping gutted to an
enormous extent and Bay crowded with ship
ping ms We expected some two three since
put we did not conceive that could be continued in the
face of the crisis through which the country
passing slight hope docs exist here capital cannot
be found to continue this inunation markets but
past experience in this respect teaches u.s. that nothing
but absolute ruin will prevent people from shining in
excess to this colony. Indeed appears that this crowd
ing us with merchandise nothing than mania as
though 400 900 people were to consume twelve months
all once We allow ourselves to hone that
we have said enough this subject that shippers

mere pleasure OF doing
This unfortunate state of things confined to our
colony but prevails also in New South Wales and South
australia The same grievance that Justly complain
OF too many shipmcntsl, reaches from Sydney From
all THIS what can expect but the results We
are ir from being sangune as to future, for some
tme to come Should it happen that mail does
not bring advice to sell at all hazards those engaged

passed over encouraging things NAV come
our limited has been,
nearly over and the continued cry ulness which we
hear on all sides is sufficient to prove that it has been
most unrenuncrative season. 1t gives pleasure how
ever to notice that in articles under head Pro
visions, prices have risen and remuneratye |
such as butter hams rice oats &c result short ship
mens On the other hand we have for long period
noticed so much depression in Spirit prevails
at present The strange anomaly presents that
nearly all kinds of spirits be purchased at the
same figure that rules in the market but this is
not novelty, accustomed are to glutted mar

1t pleasing duty to be obliged to record anv
audltohal failures OF Importance, though conf
dence prevails to a serious extent, which will only be
cleared up by the arrival of the mail In every case
holders prefer to make large sacrifices cash sales
rather than run risk rstclass and paper
alone VIII be taken The Banks continue
and have adopted the of allowing interest on the
minimum monthly balance of deposit accounts if not less
than 600. 10y
The weekly returns from gold fields are rather be-
low he usual average chiefly owing to the water
we nave no DOUBT the wet season now approaching will
phS up the quantity again Our population has been
creased to considerable extent since publication
