AUSTRALIAN EXPORTS.
LONDON, August 19. Among the signs of improvement in the general position of the country, one of the most noticeable is the increased importation of wines. For the seven months ended July 31, the imports amounted to 4,880,588 gallons, compared with 3,989,935 in the corresponding period of 1932. Imports from Australia during the seven months showed a slight decline. The prospects for the Australian egg season are far more favourable than appeared possible a short time ago. The long spell of hot, dry weather caused a great drop in production in Britain and on the Continent, with a considerable decline in foreign imports, bo that the supplies to this market were barely sufficient to meet trade requirements.
Consequently, many eggs which had been stored to meet • the winter demand have been sold. A consignment is to be 6old on Monday which is expected to realise about H/6 per lone 100 for fifteens. Importers think this will be about the ruling prices for some time.
