Since I have been in Cairo, says Mr. Edward Dicey in the "Empire Review," I
have endeavored to learn what are the interests which Germany has in Egypt.
I was curious to ascertain the character of these interests, as I frequently
have noticed insinuations in the British anti-German Press that the policy
of Germany is to get a footing in Egypt, politically and commercially, which
might prove injurious to England's supremacy in Egypt. The relations between
the British and the Gorman Agencies in Cairo have been—especially since
Count Bernstoff's appointment as Consul-General for Germany—-of the most
friendly and cordial character. Indeed, according to current reports, the
genoral instructions addressed by the Imperia Government to its
representative in Egypt have been to the effect that, so long as British
policy, under our unavowed protectorate, remains unchanged, be should use
his, influence to support any reforms Lord Cromer might favour. It is
generally believed hero that Germany has expressed approval of abolishing
the Capitulations provided the security enjoyed by German subjects under the
Capitulations could bo guaranteed by the British Government in the event,
from any unforeseen cause, of our withdrawing our troops from Egypt. In as
far as I can learn, no other European
The commercial interests of Germany. in Egypt are, as yet, of very small dimensions. The number of German subject's resident in Egypt does not, I believe, exceed fifteen hundred, and the great majority & shopkeepers, commission agents, shipbrokers, and persons engaged in mercantile occupations. As a body the German residents have not occupied themselves to any great extent with agriculture and have held aloof from speculative enterprises. If one peruses the prospectuses of the new companies, issued here almost daily, one finds very few German names amongst directors and promoters. A German bank has been recently established, but I fail to see what special German industries it is likely to develop. I should say that France, Italy, Greece and Austria, not to mention England, have larger commercial interests than Germany, and that Gorman subjects here are less concerned than those of the other Powers named in the advantages secured to foreigners by the Capitulations. I am convinced myself that in as far as Germany has any Eastern aims and ambitions; they are confined to Asia Minor, and do not extend to Egypt, so long as the Valley of the Nile and the Sudan remain under British protection:
In connection with this subject I have seen no notice as yet of a lengthy circular recently issued by the Ministry of Commerce in France and addressed to all her Consular agents in Egypt. This circular is, to put the matter shortly, an explicit instruction to the representatives of the Republic, to supply all French citizens with every information on matters of trade, to instruct them as to the localities whore there is a market for introducing French goods, to furnish them with introductions to persons already engaged in similar trades, and to give them any, assistance necessary to promote French trading enterprise in Egypt.
Nobody has any right to complain of such instructions being issued. The only matter which occasions any surprise is why it should be deemed desirable to repeat these instructions at this particular moment. The only explanation I can offer is that under the entente cordiale the French Consular authorities here have been led to imagine that they should, in commercial as well as in political matters, support our British system of administration. Now, as a matter of fact, all representatives of England in foreign countries are especially warned not to use their influence or authority to obtain concessions or any special advantage in trade for their fellow-countrymen. There, is a great deal to be said in the abstract for the principle of Consular non-intervention in commercial affairs. But as every other Power represented in Egypt declines to adopt this principle. there is no reciprocity, or rather, as the Irishman said, the" reciprocity is all one side.
I know I shall be told that I am altogether mistaken, and that our Consuls abroad have orders to give any information in their power to English traders. It has been my fortune in life to know a great many British traders in many foreign lands, and I have never yet known one who did not complain of the utter indifference if not actual incivility with which he was received in the consulates of his own country. Indeed, when I read diatribes against British merchants and British manufacturers telling them that the time has arrived when they mustconduct business abroad oil more progressive lines, and in accordance with novel conditions, I always feel inclined to reply that it is. not out1 traders but our Foreign. Office which needs "waking up" to the fact that and the protection of British trade and the promotion of British enterprise are the first and foremost of British Consular duties are Reluctance to go out of the way, or to take any interest in the development of British trade is a well-nigh universal characteristic of our Consular authorities in all parts of the globe. But it is owing to local causes, to which I need not. allude— more marked in. Egypt than elsewhere. À11 I need say. further hero is. that judging from my own experience and that of my friends 1 should absolutely decline, as things are, to take any part in establishing British industries in Egypt unless I could be associated with some foreigner, who would have the native support of his Consul-General at his back.

In reffering to the accounts for 1906 of the Alexandria Sporting Club yesterday, we omitted, when mentioning the reduced profits of the year, to take into account the much larger stakes given in 1906. The loss to the club on stakes during that year amounted to P.T. 652,800 as compared to P.T. 491,330 in 1905 which represents a considerable difference in the total profits.
The Cairo correspondent of the Pall Mall Cazette is undeservedly severe on teh frequenters of the Bourses of Cairo and Alexandria. In describing the recent agitation over the Russian affair at Alexandria he remarks: - The Bourse in ALexandria and Cairo is frequented by a lot of men, whom the German term :Lumpen: is best applied- men who are lazy and do not hard work at all but having sufficient means to allow themselves to live, become 'boursieres.' THese are the men whp stimulated the demonstration, adn as Alexandria consists of an excitable population the infection spread.
A Santa correspondent sends us a harrowing tale of persecution. He says : - A Greek family called Giorgiory at Gaafaria, Santa district, has a maid-servant of their nationality, 14 years of age. The mistress of the maid-servant is one of the most economic ladies, so that she used to prevent her maid-servant from eating unless to do any difficult or easy work, and if she did not, the mistress could punish her severely. Day after day, the poor maid-servant became very thin and was ashamed to ask for any crumbs till she is died. The Parquet and the mamour have driven there and arressted the mistress and her husband and have ordered the corpse to be buried. The inhabitants especially the Greeks, all regret such cruelty in a civilised family in Egypt, the place of happiness.

''Quo usque tandem !" Once again, the Nationalists have produced a programme and the General Assembly is being called upon to pass a variety of resolutions, doubtless to add to the gaiety of the winter season, while one of one conferes is preparing a petition containing a list of Nationalist demands. Yesterday some 50 persons—all unknown to fame—were reported to have" signed this valuable document, and numbers of signatores will doubtless be received before the Assembly meets. Here is the programme. Our readers can judge of the mentality of those who have drawn it up:—
1. The condemnation of the Denishwai executions, abolition of the Decree of 1895, and immediate release of the prisoners.—We will not disease this suggestion, bat merely point out that in future country rambles are likely to be unsafe.
2. A Constitution and representative Government—What vistas this proposal opens I Meantime our critics, while clamorous for a Constitution, have never yet outlined its features.
3. The Government to regulate all prices by the creation of Chambers of Commerce which shall fix the daily tariff for all viands.— scheme of this nature failed rather ignominiously in the reign of Richard III., but that need not deter Young Egypt.
4. All high official posts to be reserved for Egyptians.- With Ali Bey Kamel at the Ministry of War and Yussef Bey Saddik at the Ministry of Finance all will go well.
5. A National (Egyptian) Municipality for Cairo.—This demand is doubtless inspired by the amazing success of the Mixed Municipality of Alexandria.
6. A protest against high school fees.
7. Arabic to be the only official language, and school instruction to be given only through the medium of Arabic.—Of course the English speaking professor will disappear, but what of that when natives of the country are tumbling over one another in their anxiety to-become teachers ! Think of their abilities, too, how much superior their natural gifts to those of young man who have only attended at Oxford and Cambridge— effete institutions beside Al Azhar and the famous kuttabs of the Nile Valley.
8. Greater freedom for Egyptian pilgrims.— We imagined that they were bring well looked after by the Khédivial Mail S.S. Co., but we most have been mistaken.
9. Reform of the Mehkemeh Sharieh.—A very sensible demand (Lord Cromer and others thought of it some years ago, but no patriot could accept. suggestions emanating from the 'Tsar of Kafir el Donbara".
10. To protest against the presence of English sovereigns aid the official patronage' extended to these foreign coins—True : of all the "intrus' in Egypt none is more pervasive than the sovereign Out with the Dakhil" and up with the 100 piastre piece (minted in England or in future made in Germany)
11. No more concessions to foreign companies.- THe suggestion appears to us likely to ruin the maximum quantity of local newspapers in the minimum of time. IT will also affect the brokers, but never mind. Egypt for the Egyptians!
It is very significant that these demands are taken seriously by some of the leading Moslem newspapers. "Al Lewa" prints the document as though it were a valuable contribution to practical politics. Such childish proposals as teh State regulation of prices and teh expulsion of the English sovereign could only be made by people who are in a state of hopeless political nonage.The demands for the official elimination of European languages and the refusal of concessions to foreign capitalists betray the deep-rooted hatred ot the European. It is such effusions as these which prove that it is quite impossible to reform any occidental sense of that term, Moselm political ideas or to inspire the Egyptians with any new principle of civilised life. The Egyptians are not to be blamed for their attitude. If they would prefer to see Egypt reduced to the conditions of Morocco or to Macedonia, which are excellent examples of Moslem rule they cannot be upbraided, for at the back of their brains they are well aware that European government sooner or later involves revolution in their social system, and so they will always dislike it. It is the European who is in error in criticizing the Egyptians because their point of view does not and never will coincide with his own. We have been engaged in Egypt in an attempt to crowd the revolutions in fact and in idea which in England have been the' slow growth of centuries into two decades, without even halting to ensure ourselves that things which owe their initiative to the genius of Europe, and are the refining efforts of her maturity, are equally acceptable to the genius of the East, and we have no logical grounds for being surprised at finding that the recipients of our benefits are destitute of any gratitude.

Presiding at a lecture on "Peace Strategy" delivered by Lieut.-Colonel Court Repingtor, O. M. G, Aldershot Military society, last week Lieut. General Sir John French alluded to the possibilities of the invasion of Egypt by a foreign power. Referring to the lecturer's reference to several vulnerable points in our worldwide land frontier the chairman said that there was none more interesting than the situation in Egypt, to. which he had personally paid considerable attention. It was the old story. We refused to pay attention to glaring dangers because we thought it was impossible for an enemy to do certain things. There should ne no such word as "Impossible" in the military vocabulary, for military history teemed with examples of the apparently impossible being exactly the course which an enemy had taken. In this case the supposed impossible was the crossing of the Sinai desert by a force large enough to invade Egypt, and the lecturer had endeavored to dispel such a false idea.
The danger of trusting to the permanence of alliance was exemplified every day. He agreed with, the lecturer that the scheme of the Secretary of State for War should be received by the country in the splendid spirit in which it had been conceived and put forward.
Nothing is yet known of the visit of the Japanese Squadron to Egypt, but it is believed in naval circles that the division will be composed of three armoured and two protected cruisers, Admiral Kamimura will, according to one version, be in command of the squadron, which will visit Toulon as well as British ports.
We hear it reported that Ahmed Fatby Bey Zaghlonl will probably be appointed Under Secretary of State to the Ministry Justice in the near future. some extraordinarily violent personal critiques on the part of a section of the Nationalist Press were the first intimation that the rumor might have some foundation. In our opinion the appointment would be an admirable one. Ahmed F why Bey's one office in Nationalist eyes is, of course, his participation as judge in the Deuishwai trial, bat, as one of our contemporaries remarks, he saw no possible correlation between the patriotic ideal and the performances of a band of malefactor-. But wo have forgotten another of his titles to the report of patriots and the violent hatred of our Turkophiles disguised as Nationalists. He was one of the promoters of the idea that a Liberal and patriotic journal of moderate views should be founded as a counterpoise to the more violent National's- organs, and as a proof that Nationalism can co-exist with sanity and the politer methods of argument. "Al-Gerida" is the fruit of the idea and the prospect of its competition has no doubt vexed some of our Nationalists.
Al Lewa calls Fathy Bey the Judge of Denishwai and prints that appellation in big type. The organ of Mustapha Pa ha Kanin remarks that his appointment will produce a serious effect on Lord Cromer's policy. The rage of "Al Lewa at the appointment is great and it publishes a number of comments from its readers One of tbese persons remarks:
' Why should you attempt to check Lord Cromer's erroneous policy?. Let his lordship reward Fathy Bey so that the whole world may know that his lordship is satisfied with the Danirhwai trial, and that it is one of the principles of his role to show esteem to men who pass judgments snob as that in the Deuishwai case. Urge his lordship not to forget a single one among those who have had a part in the Denishwai affair."
"Al Moaysd" also criticises the appointment but its language is very moderate compared with the fury of "Al Lewa." Sheikh Aly Yoossefs newspaper says: "Our Judicial Adviser has now changed his former opinions about Fathy Bey Zighloul when the latter became a candidate for a post which he never dreamed to attain to. The reasons why he was not thought anything of during the past ten years which he spent as President of the Native Court of 1st Instance are unknown. The reason of his present advancement is that he now is known to Lord Cromer personally. While we congratulate Fathy Bey on his appointment, we must criticize Lord Cromer for appointing officials in the manner of an autocrat."
Mr. Edward W. Dale has been appointed assistant engineer of the Fourth Irrigation Circle at L.E. 20 a month.
Mr. R. H. Lee Pennel has been appointed engineer at Esneh Barrage at L.E. 35 per month, and Ismail Effendi Faud temporary superintendent of the Tanzim at Cairo, at L.E. 18 a month.

The subscription list for the Anglo-Egyptian Finance and Exchange Company, Limited, closed to-day at midday. The capital asked for was covered 12 times over. The confidence of the public both at Cairo and Alexandria in this undertaking is evident from the number of times the capital has been oversubscribed. The subscription list would have been closed yesterday, but it was kept open this morning as it was known that a large number if persons from the villages were desirous of subscribing.
The Industrial, Building, and Commercial company of Egypt, Ltd., has been formed with capital of £500,000 ', divided into 499 375 Ordinary shares of £l etch and 17,000 Deferred shares of 1a. inch. Of the above Ordinary shares 299,375 are to be issued shortly, of which 83.0J0 are payable as part of the purchase money for the various properties acquired by the company. and one-third of the balance, or 79,195, are reserved for private subscription. Subscriptions are to be invited from the public at par for 144,250 Ordinay shares of £1 each. We will publish the prospectus of the company to-morrow.
The number of company fluctuations which are in perspective are numerous, if not innumerable. Among those shortly to be launched is the Omnium Financial Company, Ltd., which is to take over the bourse agency business of Messrs. Paten and Wenger. The company will have a capital of £100,000, which may be increased by decision of the board to £20,000. It is stated that Roetovitz Bey has accepted the chairmanship of the board. Messrs. E Paten, Wenger, and H. Walker will be managing- directors or directors. Among the members of the board are Count Antoine de Zjgheb, Danish Diplomatic Agent, and M. C. J.

AMERICAN FUTURES. The market this week has been doll and inanimate, a few points' rise has been followed by easier, markets, and a decline of 8 @ 10 points from the best rates touched. Closing values are 5 @ 8 points below those of last Thursday. There is again a very large movement of the drop, and once again an entire absence of any speculative interest in the article. All trade conditions remain active and remunerative, and this imparts a certain resistance to any material decline- We cannot see, however, whilst the movements continue on such a large scale, any relief to the position.

Many people took the opportunity of visiting the new Semiramis Hotel, Cairo, yesterday afternoon, when its doors were thrown open to the public, and manifestations of surprise and admiration were heard on every side as the onlookers passed through the handsome apartments. A very generous tea buffet had been erected in the vestibule, and the band of the Inniskilling Fasiliers provided suitable accompaniment to the business of the hour. As representative of the Bucher Dinner Company Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Ruoher and Mr. Max Buoher appeared, weary but triumphant, to welcome and receive the congratulations of their friends and acquaintances, and a great number of people spent their afternoon amidst the novel surroundings.
Another batch of visitors arrived at the dinner hour, when both restaurants were in requisition, one for the numerous guests of the Buoher-Darrer Company and the other for those whom had elected to test the capacities of the cuisine. The menu was long and most excellent one, and many of the ball guests had arrived before the general move was made in the direction of the vestibule. Signore Bracale was in charge of the excellent orchestra during the dinner hour, the Sextett appearing afterwards in the musicians' gallery to entertain the dancers with appropriate measures. A very great and representative crowd of Cairo residents, visitors, etc took advantage of the occasion, and dancing became so general as to be almost impossible. The vestibule was also fully occupied by those who were content to watch the preoceedings. A supper buffet, likewise generous in its contents, was also at the disposal of the visitors and it was not till after three o'clock that peace and darkness took the place of revelry and light.
"Carmen" has now been given at both opera houses. One may find a few points of comparison as regardes the principals, if in nothing else. Fussini was an infinitely better Carmen than Mme. Chaix Bonhenr. She has a charming cvoice, and she acts with the whole of her most graceful and expressive self: her dance was all one could hope for, sinous, attractive, even exciting, to the last degree. But she is now and again careless: she twice missed her note badly and in the finale her acting was unduly violent. Sig. Tachierdo did not act so well as Mme. Fountine, but his singing was far better, possibly his whole rendering suffered from the fact that it was his third appearance in two days ("LA Boheme" and "La Tosca" at the was much better. Michael0 well, Sig. Mastropasqua sang the part very well indded; but here the Khedivial Opera scores, and always will score in Mile Devily. THe exquisite natural purity of her voice has been teh solitary saving grace of more than one performance. As for ensemble, singing, chorus, and orchestra, it is useless to say much. At the Abbass, it was faultier, and insting with the life and reality of the play; at the other place - why waste words? One must mention Signa Garagnani. She is so very much better than teh usual "second soprano." All teh Abbas second singers are good, but she is unusually so. Thanks to her, and the other "second parts" tehe quintett and general "ensemble" singing was a real success and pleasure.
The Cairo theatre strike is at an end, and audience are no longer compelled to listen to grand opera companied at most by two pianos. M. Poncet has given the members of the Khedivial Opera House orchestra permission to give concerts outside the opera and the committee of the Creole Artistique very kindly offered to put its concert room at their disposal. The orchestra is therefore about to give four concerts, on the 17th and 24th inst. and on March 3 and 10. The concerts will be patronized by the French and Italian Ministers and the artistes of the opera company have offered their services. Success should thus be guaranteed.
A meeting was held this morning at the Grand Continental Hotel, Cairo, in consequence of the action of the Russian Diplomatic Agency with regard to M. Raoul Canviet, editor of "La Reforme." THe following journalists took part in the meeting, the object of which was to form a committee for the defence of the rights of journalists in Egypt: Messars derrojs, "Bourse Egyptienne" ; Manse, "Orient" ; Di Collalto, "Progrese" ; Di Pompeo. "Imparsale" ; Vayssie, "Journal de Caire " ; Raymond Colrat, "L'Egypte" ; P.P. Graves, "Egyptian Gazette."
A resolution was passed expressing regret at the proceedings of teh Russian diplomatic and consular authorities against M Canviet on the ground that nothing that that gentleman had said in his newspaper could be considered in any sense illegal.

Viscount Goschen, son of a London merchant, of German extrusion, was born in lb31. He received his education at Rugby and at Oriel, where he took a first-class in lassies, m 1853. Soon after he became a merchant in partnership with Moises. Furlough and Goschen, and a director of the Bank of England ; out be eluted lure the partnership on taking office in the Russel-Gladstone Ministry. He was returned in the Liberal interest tor the city of London, and became a Cabinet Minister IN 1866. To 1876 Mr .Goschen and M.Joubort were chosen as delegates of the British and French holders of the Egyptian debts to concert measures for the conversion of the debts. They proceeded to Egypt, where they received by the Khedive (Aug. 14), and eventually au agreement was signed at (Nov. 18) for a reorganization of the finances and public debt of Egypt- In May, 18fc0, immediately after Mr. Gladstone's accession to power, Mr. Goschen consented to undertake the special duties of Ambassador Extraordinary at Constantinople, replacing Sir Henry Ltyard, win retired, nominally on leave of absence, but in fact finally. Before proceeding to Constantinople Mr. Goschen visited the most important public centers in Europe, and this was the first step towards the formation of a European concert fur the execution of the unperformed parts of the Treaty of Berlin. In 1881 the ambassadors of the Great Powers, in the Conference of Constantinople, alter long and patient negotiations, joiuéii in a note to the Greek Government recommending the acceptance of the utmost that Turkey could be brought to yield. the now frontier line left the greater part of Epirus, with Janiua and Meizovo, to Turkey, giving Greece possession of almost all Thessaly, and the command of the Gulf of Arta. The Cabinet of Athens was forced, under pressure, to agree to this frontier line, which deprived Greece of nearly one-third of the territory promised to her at Berlin. It was admitted by all the Powers that the assent of Turkey to these terms was obtained chiefly through the persistence and firmness of Mr. Goschen. his mission came to an end in April; 1881. In 1887 he accepted office in Lord Stanley's second Administration, holding the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer, and from that date until he was raised to the peerage he represented St. George's, Hanover- Square.
He is succeeded by his son the Hon. G. J Goshen.

This week money has been rather scarce, owing to the demands made on the Bank from various sources. The usual requirements, iu holding the making-up of bankers' monthly balance sheets, at the end of the month, together with Stock Exchange pay-day requirements, have been responsible for the scantiness of floating credits and in the middle of the week discount business WAS done by the Bank at 5 per cent.
Yesterday there was very little money available in the market, and large applications f ir loans and di-counts at 5 1/4 per cent. and 6 per cent. respectively were made to the Bank. Rites outside varied between 4 3/4 and 6 per cent Discount, on the other band, was weak early in the day, but towards the dose there was a hardening tendency owing to the weakness of 'he American Exchange.
To day some relief h is been afforded to the short loan market by the fact that with the turn of the month the joint-stock backs are once more free to lend their surplus balances, and be charge for advances over the night has been somewhat easier. The discount rate is weak, with three months' bank paper readily taken at 4 5 per cent A large amount has had to bi met to-day in the way of calls on new issues of capital, but a considerable sum has been paid in interest and dividends,
The Bank statement this week shows an addition to the reserve of £635,666, but owing to the increase in the liabilities, the "Proportion" is slightly smaller at 48.3 per cent as against 48.9 per cent last week. The application of an increase of £1,512 836 in "Other" securities and the money sustained has increased the o her deposits, which are up £l,567,492. The total reserve now stands at £240811,091, as compared w.th £12,738,130 last year.
The settlement this week has caused anxiety among members of the Stock Exchange. Notwithstanding that in practically every department the carryover had shown a reduction in the speculative position for the rise, the ultimate outcome was viewed with much concern, and there have been ugly rumors floating about throughout the week regarding probable difficulties in certain quarters.
This state of things has of course, had the result of reducing new business to a minimum. In almost every, setting there WAS no disposition to deal until the final result of the settlement was made known.
Yesterday a more hopeful tone prevailed, although markets ware very quiet. It Was an noticed that one member had been unable to discharge his liabilities, but the default was not curious; and there WAS a distinct feeling of relief that matters were worse. Taking into consideration the heavy differences that hart to be mat, particularly in the Amorous market, where there is a slump in price has been so pronounced, it is certainly very satisfactory that much more serious troubles have been avoided.
To day the tendency of markets has been rather more hopeful, lie improvement in Americans having been a favourable influence.
The gilt edged market has been very quiet, adn Consols have varied but slightly. Yestrday they fluctuated within narrow limits, but closed unchanged at 87 for teh account. They leave off to night at 87 1/16 for cash, a rise of 1/8 on the day.
The foreign market has been firm. The official announcement that no new Russian loan is contemplated this year had a good effect upon the bonds of that country, and the new prices were on Wednesday quoted for the first time as fully paid, at 85. The price has now under improved. The Fours are quoted 79 1/2.
Japanese kept steady for the greater part of the week, and several of the series showed high rises, but yesterday there was a falling away, the Four and a half per cent, yielding. Several Japanese stocks have again received attention to-day.
In the market for home railway shares the tone has been rather irregular, but, on the whole, favonrahle. The satisfactory dividend of the North Eastern has brought good support for the stock. which combined with a rise of a full point, and subsequently gained another ½ to 146. Metropolitan Console started very weak, losing 2 ½, but later received the loss. Yesterday these shares were the chief feature in the market, the price closing at 50 ½ ex liv, equal to a rise of 1 ¾ on the day.
The Scottish stocks have been firm, and allodynia Preferred to have advanced to 74.
The traffic returns this week makes a fair showing. The North Eastern again take the lead, the company having an increase of £13,989, which is added to a gain last year of £6,556. The London and North Western report an increase of £4,000 on. the top of £i,000 in our responding period. The aggregates for the tour weeks covered to date are £19,555 and £41,000 higher respectively. £ grin of £5,617 is shown by. the Midland, against one of £2 392 and in this instant the aggregate is £38,481 to the good Among the decreases an unloaded the Great No-them, South-Western, and ' Great Western, those ranging from £800 to £3,000.
Two further important dividends are announced to-day. The directors of
the Midland recommend a dividend at the rate of 2 ½ per cent per annum
on the Preferred converted
The Great Northern Railway dividend for the whole year is announced at 4 per cent. to Preferred Converted Ordinary, 1 ¾ per cent. to Deferred Converted Ordinary, 6 per cent. to "B" stock, and 1 ¾ percent to "A" stock. After making provision for the Grantham accident and adding £10,000 to contingency fund, the balance carried forward is £52,649, as against £47.726 in the corresponding period of 1905.
Midland Deferred and Great Northern have both re so ted on the dividend announcements, and the effect upon the whole market has been adverse.
New York exercised a depressing effect upon American railway shares here. Very considerable liquidation has been taking place in Wall Street for some time past, and in several quarters extremely low levels have been touched.
Yesterday Americans opened weak here, and contained an irregular market all day. A great many shares were offered for cash in connection with differences to be met at the settlement, while in the afternoon there was farther selling on fears of more liquidation in New York. These fears proved to be groundless, inasmuch as Wall Street gave considerable support, which caused a sharp rally here in the "Street."
Americans have shown an appreciable recovery to day, following the course of Wall Street. Airohison are 2 ½ up, Milwaukee 3, Southern Pacifics 2 ¼ , Gauadian Pacific 2 ¼ , and Uuions 2 1/8.
There is very little to be said regarding Egyptian shares. For teh most part, the market has been stagnant, and Egypt itself has done practically nothing on this side.
Egyptian Estates have been a good market, the quotation advancing from 2 1/2 to 2 5/8 for the Bearer shares. The Deferred are quoted 21-23. Corporation of WEstern Egypt are also a fraction harder at 1 1/8 - 1/4, and the new issue at par to 1/16 premium.
Delta Land and Investment have been bought. The price opened yesterday morning at 4 3/8 - 1/2, but closed firm at 4 11/16 13/16. Delta Preference Bearer are quite nominal at 11 1/4- 12. Agricultural Bank of Egypt are better at 9 7/8 - 15/16, and the 3 1/2 %. Debentures at 90 buyers are also up. The preference shares seem very cheap at their present prices of 9 5/8 and are worth consideration.
National Bank of Egypt are dull at 28 1/4, as are also Land Bankers at 9 1/4. Union Fonciere keep steady at 6 1/4, and Egyptian Markets at 1 1/2. Salt and Soda had been wanted, and close 23s to 25s.
Daira Sanieh leave off at 17 5/8 - 3/4, and the Deffered at 98 - 100. Khedivial Mail are unmentioned at 1 3/4 - 7/8. Bank of Roumania are up to 9 3/4 buyers.
Pending the completeion of the settlement there has been little support given to South African shares. The uncertainty of the position precluded the possibility fo an active market, but it is satisfactory to note the firmness of most of the Kafir descriptions. The easing off in prices, which is confined to a few of the leading counts, is only slights, and this certainlu points to a return of active dealings when once teh settlement is out of the way.
Yesterday, Rand Miner, after being buyers over 7 1/8, closed sellers at that price, adn Gold Fields were unchanged on the day sellers after being buyers at 4 9/16. East Rand closed rather sellers at 4 3/4. Randfontein were unchanged at 1 1/8 adn Modders at 6 13/16.
Kafirs have exhibited a moderatelygood time to-day. Rand Mines have gained 1/8, East Rands 3/32.
In common with other sections, Egyptian mining shares have been quiet, but prices are well maintained. Egyptian Mines are about 31 higher at 4/3, and Nile Valleys keep firm at 5/6.
The closing prices to-night are as follows

Every Bone Aching?
With Acute Rheumatism.
For Weeks Helpless in Bed.
This Man Buffered- Tortures.
Now Free from all Rheumatism. Strong, Well and Active
"Like many other men, I have to be out and at work, rain or shine," said Mr. Thomas W. Archbell, of 21, Kippax-place, Leeds, "and like many others 1 have had to pay the penalty.
"Acute rheumatism set in until every bone in my body ached ; and I felt an icy chill running down my spine. I could not sleep, bent lay twisting and turning all night in pain. At last I was forced to give up work, with my fingers contracted and pains attacking all my joints ; my
Knees, Wrists, Shoulders and Elbows all became swollen and inflamed; and every movement of my body caused excruciating agony. For ten long weeks I lay suffering in bed, unable to move hand or foot. My nerve, were in mob a state that noises in the street or even voices irritated me and sent a thrill of pain through my body. My limbs became so inflamed with rheumatized that even if the bed clothes touched me I
Had to Scream Out in Pain
"I steadily grew weaker; my face became haggard and drawn, and dirk rings formed under my eyes. At times 1 wandered in my mind. The fever increased day by day, and I became terribly reddened.
"In addition, I was troubled with a cough that shook my whole frame; and I eventually became such a complete wreck, worn out with continental pain, that death would" have been a welcome relearn. The torture of these weeks cannot be described ; day and night were the tame to me. for the blinds ware always drawn, and for weeks I did not see daylight.
"All this time I was being treated by doctors without feeling any better, despite the fast that my medicine was changed time after time. Thus I went on losing hope every day, until it came to my ears that a friend of mine who had suffered cruelly with rheumatism, had fond a cure in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. So I determined to give these pills a trial, and sent out for a supply. You can imagine my joy when, after taking four boxes, I felt Relief from the Terrible Pains.
This encouraged me greatly, and I continued with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The inflammation gradually passed away and the swellings left my joints.
"I regained the use of my hands and feet, and my throat became easier; my appetite began to pick op, and I could actually eat a little food. The fever left me entirely, and I could feel new blood coursing through my veins. I persevered with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and soon regained the use of all my limbs. All traces of rheumatism disappeared, and in six weeks I was able to leave my bed.

LA Commission Manicipale etet réunie le fi férricr 1907 à 4 h. 1/2 p.m. U présidence de 8.B. le Dr. Sobiess paoha.
Communication est donnée d'une lettre de 8.B le Ministre de l'Intérieur informent que le Ministère des Financée à qui il avait traite- mis le* lettres de la Municipalité relatives à In double question des malinois à bon marché et des maisons ouvrières, lui a répondu qu'il regrette de ne pouvoir disposât des terrains ais à Zihrieh, demandée dans un décès deux but-; quant à ceux de Moharrem bey dont le prix s'élève à L & 10927,595 tm/m, ose Ministère e-i prit à les odder à U Municipalité ooutre paie ment de L.B. 5163,798 m/m, repré entant la moitié du prix d'estimation, à condition toutefois que la Municipalité' sffeote oes terrains à la construction des maisons économiques et qu'elle prenne à oet effet toutes mesures qu'elle jugera utiles.
Après un échange d'idées, la Commission accepte l'offre du gouvernement en vue de pouvoir affeoter sans retard le terrain au but proposé.
Mais elle s'en rapporte à la bienveillance de l'Etat soit pour obtenir une diminution du prix do terrain toit, pour consentir à le louer pour oent ans, plutôt qu'à le vendre.
Sur la demande de la Dflçgation, la Commission déoide de prélever on premier crédit de L B. 10,000 sur le produit de la vente des terrains, pour la poursuite des travaux d'expropriations, sanf à ouvrir de nouveaux crédits au fur et à mesure de l'épuisemeut de oeux déjà engagés.
La Commission renvoie à un- Comité spécial compoté de MM. Tehia pacha, Barbara, Fenderl et de Menasse, l'examen de la quetion de l'aoqoisition d'on terrain pour y établir on poste des pompiers à Ramleh.
Bile approuve le règlement des excéden's et emprises évalués par le Conseil d'eatima- tion dans ses séinoes do 20 décembre 1906 et 6 janvier 1907 au sojet desquels la Délégation a émis on avis favorable.
Elle approuve également les évaluations des parcelles des quais mises en vente.
L'ordre do jour appelle la question de la construction d'une galerie pour le legs Fried- heim, question que, à la dernière tésnoe, la Commission avait décidé d'examiner en môme temps que celle de la construction d'un nouveau palais municipal.
Une longue discussion s'engage à ce sujet, à la suite de laquelle la Commission accorde le credit de L.B. 1 563 demandé pour la constrootion de la galerie et décide en n êa.e temps de désigner sur les quais on terrain suffisant pour la construction d'nn nouveau palais municipal et de mettre à l'étude le projst de construction.
Ces deux décisions sont prises respectivement à la majorité de 13 et Ï4 voix.
M. de Menaaoe demande que le comp'c-rendn relate que da moment qu'un nouveau palais municipal doit 6tre construit, il était inutile de faire la dépense d'une galerie, les looanx aotuels étant soffi-ants pour cela, ainsi que poor l'agrandissement éventuel do Musée.
Statuant sur la proposition de M. Eseoffier, la Commission décide que remise des impôts de la propriété bâtie soit faite aux personne- qui auront acquis aux enchères dev terrains sur les quai', pendant oii.q ans à partir de l'achèvement de leur construction, à la contrition': 1. que les fondations aient été-étal lies dans 1:année qui suivra l'adjudication. 1 que la constrootion soit achevée dans les deux ans qui suivront la première année.
Pour oe qui concerne les terrains déjà adjugés les délais prendront cours, à partir de la date de le présente déoision.
L'exemption prévue plus haut sera calculée en tenant compte des prescriptions de la los, quant au point de départ des impositions.
Sar la proposition de Yehia paohs, il es' décidée de mettre en état de viabilité et de poser des bordores dans les routes qui se trouvent entre les lots ibis en vente.

In choosing the route home there are several things to be considered. To begin with there is the difference in climate between Egypt and the various points at which you may arrive in Europe.

This depends partly upon the month in j which you leave Egypt, for Cairo in January may be a little winner time the Riviera, amid ' possibly not so warm as Sicily, but in March it will be warmer than Rome, and more uniformly warm than ninny other places in Europe. Many people leave Egypt far-too early in the year, for as a rule the weather in April and May is perfect. The warmest place to go to on leaving Egypt is Sicily.
Some will want to take into consideration the number of days to be spent at sea, and we therefore subjoin a list showing the time occupied on each of the various routes between Egypt and the Continent of Europe.
The direct route to Sicily is by the Florio- Rubattino Co's steamers, which leave Alexandria weekly for MESSINA, where one takes train to TAORMINA, one of the most charming and popular places on the island. Giardini is the station at which to alight, and the drive up to Taormina is most delightful, occupying about the hour. In and around the town is much to interest the visitor. The theatre is of Greek origin, but restored under the Romans. CATANIA is the starting place for the ascent of Etna, and here also is a tine Cathedral. The Greek, Roman, and Saracenic remains that are found all over the island, are an endless source of pleasure. SYRACUSE has an interesting history, having been a Greek city, which was designed by Demosthenes in BC 413, and taken by the Romans in BC 212, when Archimedes was slain—his tomb is to be seen. The cathedral was once an ancient pagan temple. PALERMO, with about 300,000' inhabitants, is the capital of the Island, and enjoys a delightful climate. Much of interest is to be found in this fine city The Palazzo Reale is of Saracenic origin and close to it the church of S. Giovannia degli Erimiti with its picturesque cloisters. The Cathedral, Museum, Botanic Gardens, Villa Giulia and Royal Park are also worth a visit.
The fine steamers of the North German Lloyd leave Alexandria every Wednesday during the season for Naples, the voyage being only 3 days.
NAPLES is also reached in 10 hours from J Palermo by the Florio Rubattino Co.'s steamers, which leave daily. One cannot approach Naples or leave it without wishing to explore some of its islands, besides the lovely places j on its bay—Castellamare and Sorrento. The I small steamer that takes you to Sorrento [you can drive too] will take you on to Capri.
From Naples to ROME is a train journey of but five hours All who can will devote at least one week to visiting the many historical and interesting portions of the Eternal City, whose charms and beauties are too well-known to need comment here.
Leaving the Eternal City with much regret, a railway journey of live hours brings you to FLORENCE, where another week can well be spent admiring the City of Flowers and its surrounding country. In Florence itself the churches and galleries are of absorbing interest, whilst the local promenades and excursions should not he omitted. The Casein« is the most attractive and fashionable promenade in Florence, whilst the Vidale dri Colli, one of the finest walks in Europe, opened 35 years ago, goes winding up through the hit's a distance of four miles. The most delightful excursion outside Florence is that to Valtom- brusa, with its Monastery 3,300 feet, above the sea level. This is made first by ordinary train from Florence to St. Ellero, thence by cog wheel railway to Saltiiio. The ascent through groves of oaks takes an hour, and most striking panoramas are unfolded to view.
PISA is easily reached from Florence in about 2 hours ; here there is a line Cathedral and the Leaning Tower. A stay of at least one night should if possible be made in order to enjoy the view from the Campanile at sunset.

The ITALIAN LAKES.
VENICE is a 5 hours' journey by rail from Milan, and one of the most delightful places imaginable to pass a quiet stay. The total absence of vehicular traffic strikes one as very strange; no horse, cart, carriage or bicycle is to be seen, and yet there is the sound of life at every turn. The approach the Venice from the Adriatic is unlike that of any other seaport. The town seems to be gradually, like Aphrodite, born of the sea, no hills behind, no stretches of rock, but first the tops of Campaniles appear above the horizon, then slowly the whole glittering town rises like a fairy mirage out of the calm lagoon.
Going northwards from Milan you make the tour of the beautiful Italian lakes.
Boats leave Como frequently for the other towns on the lake, which is very beautiful, and the scenery on either side going up the lake is most enchanting. - CERNOBBIO is a charming spot; then come Trenuszo; Cadenabhia, and Menaggio with the prettily-situated town of Bellaggio opposite. The walk from Tremezze along the shore of the lake to Menaggio is most enjoyable A steam tram rims from Maggit to Porlezza on Lake Lugano in three-quarters of an hour, then steamer to Lugano in two and three-quarter hours.
Switzerland, the heart of Europe, has been described as "A cluster of delights and grandeurs."
In and around the town the walks are charming, and the excursions to be made from Lucerne by boat, rail, etc., are very numerous
The Lake of Lucerne abounds m delightful excursions, those to the Rigi, Pilatus, Burkenstock and Sonnenberg needing a special visit each. Other excursions on the lake can be made by steamer, and the ever-changing scenery of the trip from Lucerne to Eluelen is a source of delight to the lover of nature.
THE BERNESE OBERLAND.— INTER-LAKEN, a favourite summer resort, and the best centre for making excursions in the Oberland, abounding in fine walks and views. There is a magnificent view of the Junafrau from the Hoheweg, a fine avenue of walnut trees, the chief resort of visitors. Interlaken is also het far from the famous waterfalls, Giessbacci, Trummelbach and Staubbach Then also tho glaciers of Grindelwald view from Murren and the Schyriige Platte are sights not to be missed.
CHATEAU D'OEX. 3,500 ft. above the sea on the now Electric Railway between Montecux and Interlaken, surrounded by magnificent scenery, with pure dry air Much frequented by English people in Summer and Winter.
Many people visit Greece after wintering in Egypt, ns it is so easily reached from Alexandria ; the climate in April is charming. The best steamers are those of the Khedivihal Mail Co. and Russian Steam Navigation Co
