SYDNEY STORM INCIDENTS. "It's an ill wind that blows no one any s?ood.'' The recent Sydney storm did an immense amount of -damage, but it aba brought trade to the city and suburban boot shops. Those who went to the *how and races returned home with squelching boots, so that there was a rush on the boot shops next day for new footwear and goloshes. Forttinalelv, most shopkeepers recentlv stocked for the winter trade, so that there was an ample supply of goloshes for all needs, notwithstanding the unprecedented demand. Goloshes, however, are not much use when the streets ar« transformed into turbulent rivers almost knee-deep \n There was, therefor®, an umisu* ally brisk inquiry for knee boots, and some city firms" stocks were almost depleted.
