NEWS FROM AUSTRALIA.

The intelligence by way of Sydney, to
hand by the steamship Australia, is not
of any very general interest outside the
Colonies. Our exchanges, however,
bear testimony to an active industrial
and business development unique per-
haps in the history of the world. The
Parliaments of the Australian Common
wealths are now in session, and as usual
are considering loan bills. New South
Wales is not in the market, having
authority to borrow els 100000, or
$50 ,O00,O 900 additional, for public works,
immigration and other public uses, but
for the present reirains from testing the
London loan market. Victoria, how
ever, wants $40,O0O,O 900, and Tasmania
and South Australia $5,OOO,O 900 each.
The purposes are good, and no doubt the
security is ample, but the way in which
our Australasian friends are discounting
the future is something astounding. A
London contemporary, of November
Goth, writing on this subject, says:
SIN financial circles uneasiness is again
expressed at the readiness with which
some of the Australasian Colonies are
plunging into debt, and fear is ex-
pressed that the financial administrations
Of those dependencies are too gaily
swimming with the tide of advantageous
conditions. 1t is pointed out that from
1881 to 1885 the Australian and New
Zealand Governments and Municipalities
have borrowed no less than eco $50, 900
1927 go, 0OO). In 1881, G5, 400, 900 was
borrowed; in 1882, 9325, 900; in 1888
Ell 800, 900; in 1884, 81 $40, 900; and in
1885, &23, 200, 900. The effective workers
of the States in question have, therefore
had an addition of Eos 1929 debt
per head imposed on them to what
the debt was previously to 1881
This was considered injudicious and Il:
justifying a note of warming
This comment is certainly not out o
place, when it is considered that the
vast sum named above is only trifie
compared to the total public and private
indebtedness of the Australasian colonies
Nevertheless, there are no securities IL
greater request in London, the financial
center of the world, than Colonial deben
lures, municipal and harbor bonds, ant
gas and water stock. When one reflects
upon the Indebtedness of this Kingdom
with its enormous exports and imports
compared to population, and its vas
possibilities, and thinks of the indebted
mass of any of the Australian colonies
one cannot help being amazed at the
newspaper clamOr about bankruptcy
and ruin The sum total of the nationa
indebtedness of Hawaii is little Ovel
G200, 900 sterling, less than half the in
debtedness of any secOnd-class harbol
board or municipality in New Zealand o.
Australia.

Of the Pennsylvania Wool-Growen and

ance was not nearly 80 large as at the last
meeting, held at Beaver, and this fact was
the occasion OF frequent discouraged com.
ment. Members, in informal conyersa.

upon the difficult task OF arous.
ing wool-growers to action in their
own behalf. On the point Of the great
cost TO the wool industry OF the reduced
tariff there Is unanimous verdict, but
members OF the association are somewhat
divided in opinion concerning the thing
TO do in this emergency. They all desire
the restoration Of the wool tariff Of 1867 ;
some fear to have the question opened
lest they lose more or all Of their protec.
ton others fear that further the reduction
will come il they do not resist 1t in force /;
and still others are for impressing Con-

lock-masters hereabout do not now re-
gard sheep as good stock to keep.
