Farther westward, in nortnern parts of Western Australia, is a tropical closed curve; and over the Western Bight, an Antarctic depression Is situated. No definite weather is yet in evidence anywhere over Australia, hut heat and sul trine.) (with the northerly wind element) are om standing features, which, later, should culminate in some thundery ruin. Prcaeiit Indications in our Slate, however, favour some further showers on the central and north uo.ut; otherwise general lv fin, warm, and sultry, with gradually increasing cloudiness.
Northerly winds generally, freshening later, but still fresh and squally 8B on the North Coast. Explanatory. The numbers giving the value of the isobars are ''millibars," a new unit now nnlveraaliy used in observations connected with the upper air. The millibar is the one-thousandth part of a "bar," which differ little from the standard atmosphere represented by a column of mercury 20.93 Inches long: in (act, standard atmospheric pressure is represented by 1019.3 millibars, thus the deviation from standard conditions may be easily read on the chart Ocean Forecast Moderate to strong north-westerlies over Southern Ocean areas during next 46 hours; fresh to strong squally SE to east1 winds on parts of Queensland coast, with rough seas.

VICTORIAN TRADE.
The trade returns of Victoria for the quarter ended September 30 are not as favourable as those of New South Wales.

The flnawjial problora of the world to-day Is the ftmmicr in which the international war deb id of the should be treated. re they to be cancelled? If they are not to be cancel led how are tney to be paid 7 A monta ago Mr. unurcnm advocated tne cancellation of the debt owing to Great Britain by hor Allies, and the debt owing to tbo United States by Great Britain. Again we have Mr.
Asquith now advocating the eaine course, and furthor than that, the reconsideration or tne wooie question of re parations and indemnities. It is not a new suggest ion. It is more than a year old. The suggestion has been made not only in Great Britain and Jn Prance, but also by 't prominent publicists of the United States a that the United States should cancel the war debts due to ner it ureat amain would cancel the war debts due to Great Britain. Exclud a tag the debts owing by the Dominions to Great nriiain on uccoum ot uie war, amounting to tne war aenis owing by foreign countries to Great Britain are, 1,803,600,000, made up bb follows: F0BHG.V WAlt DKBT OWING TO CAT BRITAIN.

A debt between countries cannot be settled In the same' manner as a debt between individuals.
Between countries me aobt must be settled largely in goods and Bflrvices. The United State's can be paid by importing British goods or byv importing tooda from other countries which receive. In "change British goods. Yet the United States has Increased its tariff In order to make'mrfre tho importation of goodB. If on the jone hand the United States demands payment, fod on the other hand shuts the only door through which payment can be made, an im-iPaaao is reached.

PRICE OF SUGAR A correspondent inquires as to the present position in regard to sugar anu me posBiunujr nf a reduction or tne retau price. ino aen nite indication ot a reduction has been given and, as recently as Wednesday last tne Mtnis-tpr for Tmd and Customs said that, though the present price of sugar In Australia was somewhat above that In other countries, there hnrt hfifin an immense net savine to tne Aus tralian public in sugar over the whole period of control. The position, as stated by our Melbourne correspondent last month, was that the Commonwealth sugar account was debit.
As tho result of large imports to supply sugar for consumption until the present. season output commenced to become avail able, the Treasury had to advance approximately 2,000,000 to make up the deficiency between tbe and selling prices of sugar handled Under the agreement with the Queensland Government. Until this debit was cleared off no reduction in the selling price of sugar could be hoped tor. On June .30 the debit had been reduced to 1,658,000. So far no definite statement appears to have been made by the Government as to when this debit is likely to be cleared off.
