"The Filtration Works for supplying the , Town of Alexandria with Potable Water" is the subject of an interesting but highly technical pao|phlet by Mr. H. R. C. Blagdon, manager of the Alexandria Water Company.
The completion of the filtration works described in this paper marks an import ant epoch in the modern history of Alexandria, and even of Egypt, as the works are the first of their kind in the country, and Alexandria is the first town in Egypt to be supplied with an efficient and up-to-date filtration-system for its water-supply.
Mr. Blagden gives a very complete account of the installation and expresses his satisfaction with the Jewell filters
It | will be remembered that in September, j 1 the Water Company and the
Municipality jointly were approached by the Jeweli Export Filter Company of
New York, with a view to the introduction of their system
The Jewell Filter Company, however, gave extremely favourable guarantees as to 't;.e saving in first cost of the new works by the adoption of their system, and also the higher efficiency of their filters as compared with that which probably would be obtained with the slow sand-filters; they were further prepared to substantiate their guarantees by erecting, on their own responsibility and at their own expense, in Alexandria, near the Water Company's intake on the Mahmoudieh Canal, a complete model plant, includingpomps, settlingtanks, and one Jewell gravity-filter capable of delivering 22,400 gallons of filtered water in 24 hours This plant was actually delivered in the following October, and the ultimate result of the trials was that these filters were selected.
There can be no doubt, says Mr. Blagden, that, for a town like Alexandria, which is unfortunately occasionaliyGvisited by an epidemic of cholera, the Jewell system of filtration presents many great advantages over the slow sand-system.
It requires only about one-sixth of the area of the ground required for the same daily output by the slow sandsystem.
The cleaning out and washing of the filters ia done entirely mechanically, without any handling whatever and without any man coming in contact with the filtering-sand, whereas in the slow sand-system at least thirty men would be employed in scraping the' top layer of sand in fcffe filters for cleaning purposes, and in times of epidemic there would be considerable risk of infecting the filters ; anyone who is acquainted with the extremely insanitary habits of the natives will thoroughly appreciate this point.
The Jewell filters are contained in a covered house, and are not exposed to the hot ^un and dust ; this is an important point inEgyj^t, where masonic-work, especially cement, deteriorates and cracks very rapidly from exposure to the sun, and requires constant repairs ; all the valves and automatic regulating-apparatus are also within the filter-house, and consequently can be easily kept clean, besides being far less liable to get out of order.
The whole of the washing of the filters can be easily done by one nrwfr, each filter occupying only 5 minutes per day in cleaning, and not only the top ayer of the filter, but the whole bed of sand, is cleaned at each washing ; the Jewell filter is also in itself an ideal sand-washing machine.
Lastly, it can be justly claimed for the Jewell filter that it possesses an almost ideal regulator for the speed of filtration, and for the pressure; the How of filtered water is absolutely constant during the entire run, and the diagram of pressure is perfectly regular, as has been shown by constant experiment.
This is a most important fact, as it is well known that the perfect working of a sand-filter depends entirely upon the constancy of the rate of filtration and the regularity of the increase of pressure.
The Weston automatic controller on the outlet likewise has the advantage that the rate of filtration, in case of necessity, can be changed in a few minutes ; this is of great importance in the event of a sudden demand for an abnormal quantity of filtered water, due to an outbreak of fire or other cause.
The results, given by Mr. Blagden, leave no room for doubt as to the efficiency of the method of sedimentation and filtration ; the action of the alumina in the settling-tanks is most marked, and it has been found when cleaning out the settling-tanks that the amount of deposit remaining in the first compartment of the settling-tanks was nearly five times that in the second compartment, showing that the time allowed for sedimentation, which at present is 7 to 9 hours, is amply sufficient.
The percentage removal of bacteria from the raw water is distinctly high, and exceeds the guarantee of the Jewell Filter Company ; the daily averages are very uniform, and never since the first month of the filter's working has the removal of bacteria been le9s than 98 per cent.

It is currently believed that the fellaheen have already sold as much as two million kantar of next year's cotton crop at 18 1/2 dollars.
If this be so, it ought to assure the maintenance of the present value of agricultural land and the continued prosperity of the land companies interested in them.

This annual charity dance took place on Saturday at the New Khedivial Hotel and was sensational, a great success, thanks to the excellence of the committee and hotel arrangements. At 10:30p.m. Count K ziebrodzki, the Diolomano Agent, entered the ball-room and the national anthem was played. All fashionable Alexandria was present, and dancing was kept going to 3:30 yesterday morning. Suppers were served to 350 persons, which is a record.
A dance will be held at the British Recreation CLub, Cairo, on Saturday next, 16th inst., when it is expected, members and lady friends will muster in force. Dancing will commence at 9p.m. The fancy dress ball which eventuates at the British Recreation Club on March 16 next (St. Patrick's Eve) promises to be a success, and members who have not yet done so will do well to make early application for tickets. Those may be obtained from the manager.
We would remind our readers of the great event of the year at Ghezireh Palace Casino, the fancy dress ball, which takes place tomorrow evening and promises to be a huge success. Tables for dinner at the hotel that evening should be ordered in advance. Guests presenting themselves in ordinary evening dress will be called upon, on entrance to the ball, to pay the sum of P.T. 40, and all such fines will be landed over to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The inauguration took place on Friday last of the large brick, tile, and plaster works erected by Mr. Sornago at El Wady, near Kafr Ammar, which may be considered as among the best equipped and largest works of the kind in existence. Among those who attended the inaugural ceremony were Lord and Lady Cromer, Commendstore Malmusi,Italih Minister, accompanied by the staff of the Agency, Sir Vincent Corbett, Financial Adviser, the Moundir at Ghirgeh, and other big officials and financial lights.
Dr Dauanbour Correspondent sends us the following further details of the murder of thegent of Boghos Pasha Nubar near Damanhou. On the night of the tragedy the victim was sitting in his house surrounded by his family at the time of his death and was actually playing with his youngest child, whom he was dandling on his knee. Suddenly the repeat of firearms was heard, and he received two bullets in his head. The murderers demped. On the following morning, the modir and the niabeh left for the scene of the tragedy and after a careful enquiry two Arenians were arrested. On Saturday Mourees Be left for the ezbet accompanied by the two accessed, whom he ultimately released as no pro of their guilt could be adduced. O y the affir of the ezbet will be brought up for trial.
The Reported Raids.
We understand that there is no foundation in the report that the Egyptian Bedouins have suffered from Turkish attacks in the frontier district. The Awakir tribe, who inhabit the hinterland of Barka, have undoubtedly committed depredations on the Bedouins who are under Egyptian rule, but there is no reason whatever to suppose that the Turkish Government is in any way responsible for the acts of this lawless and turbulent tribe and its chief, Sheikh Abdel Kader el Kozza.
It is hoped that the commission which left yesterday for Benghazi, and which includes representatives of the aggrieved tribe, will make a satisfactory settlement of the questions at issue between the Egyptians and the Tripoli Bedouins. The Turkish authorities are certainly most unlikely to put any difficulties in their way.
Since early this morning a dense fog has been prevailing in the Suez Cana1, as well as in the towns of Suez and Port Tewfik. Navigation in the Canal has been temporarily stopped. H H.S.

On the same day H.H. the Khedivsh will receive the Princess of the Khedivial Family at Koubbeh Palace from 9 to 11.30 a.m., European ladies from 4 to 5 p.m., and the wives of Diplomatic Agents at 5:15 p.m.
The English edition of Mustapha Kamel's newspaper, the "Egyptian Standard," will be published every morning. The French edition, "L'Etendard Egyptien,'' will appear in the afternoon. These newspapers will shortly make their debut, and their publication is only temporarily postponed in order to get extra material from Europe. In yesterday's issue of "Al Lewa" Mustapha Pasha Kamel publishes an impressive appeal to all native literati who are conversant with the English and French languages to rally round his "Standard" and urges them "to draw their pens in order to defand the hallowed rights and privileges of their beloved fellow countrymen and their native land."
"The time has now come," explains the Pasha, "when the whole world should hearken to the cries of Egypt and the claims of her faithful children", etc., etc.
The annual general meeting of all interested in the Home was held on the 5th inst., with Mr.E.B Gonld, H.B.M. Consul-General for Alexandria, in the chair.
The accounts for 1906, which showed a credit balance of P.T. 4833.8 were passed. On the recommendation of the committee it was decided to build a wing on to the west side of the existing house and to adopt plans prepared by Mr. Robert Williams, at an estimated expenditure of about £1,250, towards which sum donations have been received or promised amounting to abont £l00.
The following were elected on the committee for 1907 : Messrs. E B. Gould, G.B. Alderson, S H. Carver, E.W.P. Foster, J.E. Cornish, R. Srabile, Judge Sandars, Dr. Morrison, Canon Ward, and the following, who also form the executive committee : Hon. Mrs. Hopkiuson, Mrs. Borton, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. A.L.M. Dickson, Mrs. Davies Bryan, Mrs. F. Allen, Mrs. Ward, Mrs. S.H. Carver, Rev. A H Longley, with R v H.P. Reid hon. secretary and Mr. P.W. Carver hon. treasurer.
Mr. Gould announced the resignation of Miss Waeber from the post of matron on account of ill health, and in a few well chosen words recalled the devoted services which Miss Waeber had rendered to the Home during her four years' tenure of office, during which time the Home had very greatly improved in efficiency. He pointed out that Miss Waeber possessed all the qualities required in a matron, and added that she takes with her in her retirement the very highest appreciation of her services by the committee.
A vote of thanks to Miss Waeber for her very valuable services was unanimously accorded, and the meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
The Reported Raids.
The Egyptian Estates, Ltd., have purchased the Savoy Hotel at Cairo from the George Nungovich Hotels Company, Limited. The purchase price works out at about L.E 52 per square metre The land area of the hotel is about nine thousand square metres.
As was to be expected, the subscription for shares in Caffari's Co-operative Markets has proved a great success, the amount offered to the public having been covered several times over during Friday and Saturday. In fact, so many have been the applications that the directors have generously consented to allot some of the shares they had reserved for themselves.
We mentioned in a former issue of our paper the many advantages offered to the public in dealing with these stores. The foremost is the convenience of being able, by one walk through the extensive premises in Sharia Kasr-el-Nil, to procure all one's household requirements in one place and, what is still more important, be sure of getting everything of the best quality and at the most moderate price.
The career of the founder of this business is a striking example of what can he accomplished by dint of hard work combined with perseverance and strict integrity. Mr. J. B. Caffari began his career in this country as a broker on the Alexandria Bourse in 1881 in conjunction with the late Mr. Camilleri. In the following year he became agent in Egypt for Messrs. Butler amp Co., army contractors, afterwards known as Butler and Bencini. He remained with this firm until 1846 when he started business in this city on his own account and the next year opened branches in Cairo and Crete. The business in Cairo increased so rapidly that Mr. Caffari found it neccesary to remove in 1903 from the Esbekieh quarter to the present premises in Sharia Kasr-el-Nil, which were considerably enlarged last year, and the daily sales of the establishment have now attained no less than £50, which can be considered a record figure for a concern of his description in Egypt. Like most of the world's big stores, this one aslo started with modest beginnings, and as we mentioned before, owes its marvellous success to the one great principle, initated by the late Mr. Whiteley, of Westbourne Grove fame, of selling sound and reliable goods at the smallest possible profit. The success of this flotation should be a proof to our local financiers that sound industrial undertakings in this country can be turned into companies with as much case as in the case of land, building, and similar concerns.
A few days ago the Union Fonciere d'Egypte refused an offer of L.E. 101 per feddan for the thousand feddans of its property in the Gharbieh province, which it had originally purchased for L.E. 52 per feddan. The company was well advised to refuse this offer as it is now selling this land in lots at an average rate of L.E. 110 per feddan and there is great keennees amoung the fellaheen to buy at this price.
Owing to the irHux of gold, which is in great part still in the villages, the demand for agricultural land as an investment by the fellaheen is becoming more marked every day and the Union Fociere is receiving offers at excellent prices continually. For example, the other day it received an offer for its land at Kafr Shargi, in the Gharbieh province, at the rate of L.E. 70 per feddan for 700 feddans. The company purchased this land only a few months ago for L.E. 45 per feddan. Other offers have been received at the rate of L.E. 70 per feddan for land purchased from the Behera Company L.E. 40.
The Union Fonceire will close its first balance sheet on the 15th proxo., which will cover eighteen months' working as the company was founded in June, 1905.
The newly inaugurated Hotel Semiramis, of the famous Bucher Durrer Company, promises to be a great success. Numerous demands for rooms are being daily received, and most of the beautiful suites, with a magnificent view over the Nile, are already engaged.

Luxor, February 8.
Upper Egypt is just now being invaded by an army of visitors from every part of the civilised world, and Luxor is experiencing such an influx as has never before been known. The hotels are filled to overflowing, and, judging by the advance bookings for rooms and for berths on the steamers, the season of 1907 looks like being a long one.
Sir Benjamin Baker and Sir Ernest Cassel passed through this week on their way further South, while Lord Cromer is expected here shortly.
The dahabeah contingent is much to the fore just now, and the little flest moored on both sides of the river adds greatly to the life and interest of the scene. The Miriam, Bedouin, and Nephthis are still at their customary moorings, but the Gazelle has left for the South, while the Arabia, Serapis, and Scarab, have passed through once more on their homeward journey.
Amongst well-known people making a stay at the Winter Palace are Lord and Lady Halsbury, the Baronne de Foret, Sir J. Hamilton Lang and family, the Hon. Alexander Yorke, C.V.O., Sir Robert Dashwood, and many others.
The Tuesday dances at this hotel are proving very popular. Several of the passengers from the tourist steamers responded to the invitation of the manager last Tuesday, as well as visitors from the other hotels.
The Gymkhanas, on Thursdays, are also well patronised, and always fo with a smoothness and rapidity that tell of long cooperation on the part of the commitee. This week there were the usual races for natives, the donk y boys' race (face to tail and bare back) being perhaps the most popular with the spectators, while the visitors' events consisted of (1) a donkey race for ladies and gentlemen, won by Miss Thompson, M. A. Found being a good second and (2) a goolah begging race in which Mr. C. Warnes was first and Dr. J Garner second.
After a week of cold winds and somewhat low temperature for this region, the weather is once more warm and gentle, and Luxor is maintaining its high recognation for sunshine and equability.
Miss Critten has but a small audience at the first of her "One-hour recitals" at Shepheards on Friday night, but there was not one among that audience who was not fully impressed by the dramatic talent she displayed. In addition to her wonderful memory and pleasing voice Miss Critten possesses a fine sense of humour and an instinct for effect which would have served her in good stead had she only chosen the stage as her profession. Her recitations, or impersonations, or whatever she likes to call them, are really delightful little studies of character, and the play of feature and action in company with her wonderfullly sympathetic voice are singularly attractice. As raconteuse or teller of short stories, too, she is excellent, never losing the point of her racy, pithy anecdotes, and recounting them with such naivety and simplicity, that she holds the attention of her audience from first to last.
Her programme on Friday night included a very varied assortment of items. There were many short, crisp stories, and one or two very humorous dialogues of greater length; and an exceedingly clever item in which she impersonated a charming young aunt endeavouring to tell an edifying story to a child who refused to be edified. The "piece-de-resistance" of the programme was perhaps the item entitled "Harry," which gave Miss Critten real scope for her dramatic instinct, and which certainly accounted for a very chokey sensation in the throats of more than one of her bearers. Miss Blanche Simpson provided a little music during the interval which Miss Critten found neccessary to rest her voice; for the one-hour-recital did not finish for some time after 10:30, and must have been a tiring performance.
Miss Critten is giving a second recital at the Savoy to-night at 9.30, when it is anticipated that she will receive a very good hearing. She is so exceptionally clever, that one can unhesitatingly recommend any one who is in search of a new sensation to attend one of her performances. Hotel visitors are so prone to complain of the dulness of their evening hours, that short entertainments such as Miss Critten's should be particularly acceptable.

Mr. Dicey's New Boook
A very interesting book on the political situation of this country has just been published by Heinemann (price 3s. 6d) entitled "The Future of Egypt." The author is M. Edward Dicey, whose forty odd years' connection with Egypt renders him a peculiarly competent critic. The author's object is "to direct attention to certain defects in British administration under our protectorate, and to the policy by which these defects could best be rectified." The author criticises Lord Cromer's system of government and the suppression of the capitulations. His criticisms are characterised by a boldness which is very rare among English writers in Egypt, but they are at the same time quite free from the personal vindictiveness which prevents Mr. Wilfrid Blunt from being taken seriously so far as matters Egpytian are concerned. We will deal with Mr. Dicey's work in other issue, as there are a great many passages which deserve reproduction. Meanwhile we will conclude this brief, preliminary notice of a book, which we recommend all interested in Egypt to obtain for themselves, by one excerpt, which will give our readers some idea of the style of the work. The following are Mr Dicey's opinions on Lord Cromer's scheme of reforms in connection with the suppression of the capitulations as contained in his latest report:-
'To speak plain English, the way to understand the projeot in question is to strike out the name of Egyptian Government whenever it appears, and to substitute for it that of the British Agency. The capitulations, the Mixed Tribunals, the Consuls-General accredited to the Khedive, and last but not least the European companies and capitalists, are the only influlences left in Egypt which interfere with the absolute autocracy Lord Cromer's policy would confer, not only upon himself, but upon his successors in the post, he now occupies as the representative of our unavowed Protectorate. I find it difficult to comprehend how antonomy is compatible with absolute personal autncracy. I learn from Lord Cromer's two last reports that the aim of his policy is tp prepare Egypt for antonomy. I do not doubt for one moment the sincerity of this avowal. My intelligence, however, is unlimited to enable me to understand how the absolute autorsey of the ruler can be the way to prepare the ruled for autonomy. The process seems to me analogons to that of the schnolmeter who undertook to teach his pupils the art of swimming but would never allow them to go into the water till they had learnt to swim."
Lieutenant the Honorable CD. Baring, Coldstream Guards, has left the army.
The Rev. J. M. O'Connor, Presbyterian chaplain, has been directed to proceed to Egypt for duty there.
Second Lieutenant Loftus. 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, has been promoted lieutenant after three years' service.
The three troopers of the Deopt Squadron 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons, Ballincollig, whose Christmas midnight escapde has been already reported in these notes, were tried by a district court martial last week, and found guilty. The sentence will be duly promulgated and it is safe to say that the three men will not hanker after gagging and tying up sentries and commandeering horses for some time to come.
Mr. Haldane's new organisation scheme has been not ineptly likened to the mountain in labour, and "Punch" has very happily hit off the situation by representing the author in the guise of a motherly old hen clucking triumphantly over her six chickens (divisions), whilst Mr. Brodrick in a simliar guise, but without the chickens, reminds the former of the fate of his six (army corps) chicks. The scheme is eminently a paper one. A striking force of 150,000 is promised, of which only 70,000 will be regulars, and a large proportion of which is not, nor never will be, available. The remainder has to be made up by problematical Militia, Yeomanry, and Volunteers. In the interim, the nucleus of the "striking force" will have to find the usual Indian, Egyptian, and Colonial drafts, a process which will result in the usual lemon squeezing of the battalions and batteries. As heretofore India and the Colonies will demand the very pick of the army at home, and nothing will be left for the striking force save the immature and the unfit. Whilst the defence of India depends on the rise and fall of the home labour market there can be no permanent solution to the difficulty. The only redeeming point in the scheme is the promised attempt to make a better use of the militiamen already serving in the old Constitutional Force. But it is only an idea of expediency, and until it is properly tested by the assay of experience no definite pronouncement can be made. To repeat it again, India blocks the way.

We are sorry to learn that much anxiety is felt about the health of Lady Suffield, who is lying seriously ill with a complication of influenza and bronchitis. Lady Suffield, who is a sister of the first Lord Revelstoke and of Lord Cromer, and aunt to Countess Granville, is a lady of advanced age, for it is now several years sinoe she and Lord Suffield who is past seventy-seven, celebrated their golden wedding day. They have long enjoyed the intimate friendship of the Royal Family, and it is close on forty years since Lord Suffield obtained his first Court appointment as Lord-in-Waiting to Qaeen Victoria. He holds the same office in the Household of his present Majesty, and in his case it is, by Royal favour, a permanent one, for he does not resign it on a change of Government. He was, as a matter of fact, taking his turn of waiting last week ; but, in spite of that fact, his name is omitted from the list of the King's Household in several wellknown books of reference.
In his younger days Lord Suffield was one of the finest riders and keenest all-round sportsmen in the kingdom. He was Master of the Royal Buckhounds in 1886, and hunted the Norfolk Foxhounds and Staghoands for many years showing capital sport. At one time he was superintendent of the Prince of Wales's stables, and in the Royal expedition to India of 1875 (when he was chief of the staff to His Royal Highness he organised the sporting part of the tour with the greatest success. Lord and Lady Sufffield have had a large family, and their life has been clouded with seven domestic trials ; but their danghters, who include Countess Carrington, Lady Hingdon, and Lady Hastings, murel happily as well as Ini' ia tiy, and they have a son and heir and a grands (now in his tenth year) to carry on the family name and honour .

The words used by the Emperor in his speech, "You will overcome all who oppose you," cannot refer to a warlike purposs with regard to the foreign policy of the nation, because the passage was made use of in speaking directly of the elections. Before the elections a section of the foregin press hoped that a victory for the Socialits and the Centrists would bring about internal difficulties and lessen Germany's power abroad. The German Empire will not modify any of her inclinations or her foreign policy. (Reuter)

First February Meeting.
We are happy having some warm weather at last, as visitors who have come here in search of sunshine and to escape the cold have been grumbling with good cause. Let us hope the change will be lasting, and that Cairo will not loss its character.
The racing on Saturday was decidely good. The attendance also, for the small meeting, was much above the average. The races on the 20th and 22nd inst. will be a good deal better. Visitors should not miss this opportunity of seeing some of the best horses in Egypt.
The course was in excellent condition. We noticed that the jump that so often unaccountably brings horses to grief has been moved further up the hill, with apparently satisfactory results. Our handicapper may once again be congratualted on the close finishes of the handicaps. Results:-

Owing to the inspection of the Inniskilling Dragoon Guards by General Baden Powell, Thursday's matches were postponed until Friday. The first teams to line out were as follows:-
A. TEAM. G. TEAM.
Major Pitman 3. Mr. Capell 1.
Mr. Bentinck (back). Nixon 2.
Capt. Sherlock 2. Capt. Bartlett 3.
Mr. MaciGllivray 1. Sterling (back).
G. Team had the best of the game throughout and eventually won by 3 goals to one. For the winners, Capt. Bartlett played a very good game, but his shooting at goal was very wide of the mark; Mr. Nixon scoring two out of the three goals registered. For the losers, Major Pitman and Mr. Bentinok did most of the work, Capt. Sherlock and Mr. MacGillivray being incidedly off their game.
D. TEAM. F. TEAM.
Mr. Merriman 1. Mr. Fieury 1.
Jervis Smith 2. " Bowen 2.
Major Haig 3. " Tellemache 3.
Mr. Graham (back). Maj. Paterson (back)
This was a faster and more evenly contested game, F. team winning by 2 goals to 1 D team were the first to score, but F team soon qualized, and in the third chukker F team were one up. D team made great efforts in the 4th chukker to get on equal terms, but failed in the attempts. For the winners, Major Paterson and Mr. Bowen were conspicuons. Mr. Tollemache also did some very good work. For the losers, Mr. Graham played a fine game at back, and Major Haig as usual gave a very good display.
E. TEAM. H. TEAM.
Mr. Soames 1. Mr. Heller 1.
Capt. Holland 2. Gibbs 2.
Rome 3. "Jenkison 3.
Mr. Raid (back). Capt. Darrell (back).
H team ought to have won on paper, but it was hard to play against Capt. Rome's attacks, combined with the strong defense of Mr. Reid, this last-namaed player especially being in good form. It was a close match up to the last minute. H team failed to do themselves justice. Mr. Jenkinson, however, made a brilliant run the full length of the ground, leaving the ball just over the goal, which Mr. Gibbs tipped through.

Le marche a ete presque nul comme affaires, et comme tendance, c'est la baisse qui predomine. Iln'yaeu de transactions importantes qu'en Nuugovich Hotels et Karam; mais l'animation a regne egalement sur un certain nombre de petites valeurs.
Sur la nouvelle, que nous reproduisons plus loin, de la vente de Savoy Hotel par les Nungovich aux Estates, ces deux titres beneficient d'use avance marquee. Les Nungovich touchent 28 1/4 et les Estates 2 21/32 acheteurs les actions et 25 1/2 les parts de foundateur.
La Karam s'inscrit a 1 5/32 l'action et 9 la fondateur, l'Arditi a 1 3/8 l'action et 23 ia fondateur, la Langhis a 1 9/32, l'United a 1 1/4 l'action et 9 3/4 la fondateur, lea Riz q 1 1/8.
Ces derniers ont donne lieu a un certain mouvement. Quant aux Splendid Hotels, ilsont demandes a 4 9/16 maia sans affaires. Les pourparlers entre les Ritz et les Splendid continuent et lon'est de plus en plus persuade qu'ils aboutiront, au grand avantage des deux parties.
Eu hausse egalement les Cotton Mills a 6/6, la Salt and Soda a 23/9, l'action Comptoir a 7 9/16 l'ancienne et 7 5/16 la nouvelle, et le Credit Franco-Egyptien a 6 11/32; oes deux dernieres valeurs ont ete l'objet d'une demande suivie.
Par contre, nombre d'autres sont en reaction: l'Agricole tombe a 9 27/32, la National Bank a 28 5/16, les Priviegiess Tramways a 197, la Daira a 17 1/2, l'Obligation Credit Foncier a 346, l'Union Fonciere a 6 11/32, la Land Bank a 9, l'Urbaine a 7 3/8, la fondateur Comptoir a 90, les Constructions a 1 1/2 et l'Auto-Transport a 4 1/4.
L'ensemble du marche est plutot indecis. Il y a un certain malaise cause par les nouveilles emissions.
Demain, a l'occasion du mardi-gras, le marche sera ferme.
L'Union Fonciere a refuse, ilyaque'ques jours, une offre de L.E. 101 par feddau pour un lot de mille feddans de sa propriese de Gharbieh, qu'elle avait achetes a raison de L.E 52 le feddan. Elle a ete bien inspires en refusactceite offre, car les fallahs se disputent maintinant les lots a L.E l1O le faddan. G. ace a l'afflux croissant de l'or dans les villages, les placements en terrains sont en effet de plus en plus recherches et l'Union Fonciere recoit continuellement des affres de jour en jour plus allechantes. On lui a propose, entre autres, d'acheter 700 feddans de sa propriere de Kafr Chargui (Gharbieh) a raison de 70 L.E. le feddan, propriete qu'elle a eue, il n'y a que quelques mois, pour 45 L.E. le feddan. Pour d'antres terrains quelle a obtenus de la Behera au prix de 40 L.E. on lui offre maintenant 70 LE. par feddan.
L'Union-Fonciere cloturera son premier exercice le 15 du mois prochain. Nous pourrons alors donner des details plus circonstancies sur cette excellente affaire.
Les Egyptian Estates ont achete des Nungovich Hotels le Savoy Hotel du Cairo, au prix de 52 L E. le metre carre. Il s'agit d'environ 9000 metres carres, y compris la construction.
Nous apprenons que M. Henri Foulde, directeur de l'agence de la National Bank of Egypt a Port Said, a presente sa demission pour entrer comme directeur de la succursale d'Alexandrie de la Bourse and Banking Cy. Ld.
NOTES ET CRITIQUES
Le Caire, Samedi 9 Fevrier 1907. Le taux de l'escompte libre a Londres se tient a 4 3/4, en attendant une neuvelle reduction, car on prevoit que la Banque d'Angleterre ne tardera pas a abaisser son taux a 4 1/2, voire a 4%. Le bilan hebdomadaire publie avant-hier par cette institution montre, en effet, une amelioration marquante: la re serve des billets s'est accrue de £1,076,000 et l'encaisse de £224,000. La proportion de la reserve aux engagements s'est eleves a 49 5/8 pour cent.
Au Stock Exchange, ie Consolide anglais s'est maintenu a 87 1/8 et l'Unifiee a 103 3/4. La National Bank a gagne 1/4 a 28 5/8. Par contre, l'agricole est renseignee, sauf erreur, en reaction de 1/4 a 9 8/4, de neme que la Daira a 17 1/2. La Deita Light a avance de 3/8 a 11 7/8.
A Paris, le Credit Foncier Egyptien a retro grade de 2 francs a 776. La Banque d'Athenes a regagne 1 frano a 136.
Ici, la tendance generale continue a rester bonne, mais tonjours aveo des affaires restreintes sur l'ensemble de la cote par suite des retards apportes a la de ente monetaire par le flot croissant des nouvelles emission. Il est a croire, heureusement, que ces appes de fouds fastidieux fiuiront par passer iuapercus, cequi permettra au marche de s'orienter et d'operer les mouvements naturels en cetre periode active de l'annee.

The "Egyptian Gazette" Series is the most artistic collection to be found in Egypt.
The Egyptian Gazette has much pleasure in presenting to its subscribers the accompanying description of some of the many interesting routes by which they may travel homewards. Great care has been taken to arrange them as accurately and concisely as possible, and it will be found that jmne of them are fraught with difficulty. 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.

A pleasantly situated village lying in the valley between Piacenza and Parma, rapidly becoming famous for its waters, which are very rich in bromine and iodine, ana the richest in the world in lithium, strontium, and ichthyol, and have been successfully used in the treatment of scrofula, rheumavismi, tuberculous affections, ladics' complaints, etc.
This depends partly upon the month in which you leave Egypt, for Cairo in January may be a little warmer then the Riviera, and possibly not so warm as Sicily, but in March it will be warmer than Rome, and more uniformly warm than many 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 an 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 one hour. In and around the town is mochto 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 fine 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 B.C. 413, and taken by the Romans in B.C. 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 deligthful 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 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 on its bay—Castellamare and Sorrento. The 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 five hours brings yon 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 be omitted. The Cascine is | the most attractive and fashionable promenade in Florence, whilst the Viale dei Colli, one of the finest walks in Europe, opened 35 years ago, goes winding up through the hills a distance of four miles. The most deligltful excursion outside Florence is that to Vallombrosa, with its Monastery 3,300 feet above the sea level. This is made first by ordinary train from Florence to St. Ellero, thence by cogwheel railway to Saltino. 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 fine Cathedral and 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.
VIAREGGIO. One of the most delightful places on the Italian Riviera near Pisa and on the main line from Rome to Genoa. It is a very convenient half-way house between Egypt and England, and where living is reasonable and the air and surroundings exceptionally good.
GENOA (La Superba). — The most picturesque and interesting city in Italy, with the record of having one of the lowest death averages of European cities and a phenomenally equable temperature— warm in winter and deliciously cool breezes from the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean in summer.
The patriarchal home of Italy's most ancient nobility, whose palaces, gardens, and famous collections of statuary, frescoes and paintings, are a constant delight to thousands of travellers who annually sojourn in Genoa. Then there are the superbly decorated medieval churches containing exquisite marble calumns and historical paintings, and the incomparable Campo Santa filled with its wonderful tombs.
From Genoa to Milan is a matter of only three hours by rail.
MILAN is a good centre for Northern ltaly before making the tour of the Lakes. The Cathedral is the principal attraction, with its beautiful windows illustrating the History of the Bible. The public gardens and the monumental cemetery are also worth a visit.
Between Bologna and Milan and only an hour and a half from Milan is SALSOMAGGIORE, a renowned health resort on account of its thermal springs change trains at Borgo San Dumino and in half-an-hour you are at Salsomaggiore.

The steamers of the P. & 0., North German Lloyd, Orient, and Messageries Maritimes are the largest. The Anchor, British India, Bibby and Henderson Lines are also excellent, and their steamers are largely patronised by travellers to Egypt.
As regards the train journeys from Cairo the shortest is that to Alexandria, without change (3 hours). That to Port Said can now be made without change in 4 1/2 hours.
The least expensive way to England is by the Moss, Papayanni, Prince, and Westcott lines of steamers from Alexandria to Liverpool. The German Levant line has also good steamers from Alexandria to Hamburg.

The quickest through Continental routes are by P & O. Brindisi express from Port Said, and the Austrian Lloyd Trieste-Vienna express from Alexandria.
As regards heavy luggage, it must be borne in mind that very little luggage is allowed free on the railways of Europe, but there are several good and responsible forwarding agents in Egypt who undertake at a fixed charge to deliver packages to any address in Europe.
The quickest manner of getting to Europe from Port Said is undoubtedly by the fast Mail Steamers "Osiris" and "Isis" to Brindisi. One of these leaves Port Said every week, as soon as possible after receiving the Indian
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.
COMO, the birthplace of the younger Pliny, is reached in one-and-a-quarter hours by train by way of Monza :
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 Tremezzo, Cadenabbia, and Menaggio with the prettily-situated town of Bellaggio opposite. The walk from Tremezzo along the shore of the lake to Menaggio is most enjoyable. A steam tram runs from Menaggio 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."
LUGANO is some 20 miles from Como, and reached by train in one-and-a-half hours. It has a population of 10,000 people and is charmingly situated on the Lake of Lugano, amidst lovely Italian scenery. Aro nd it rise M San Salvatore, M. de Caprino and M. Generoso.
LOCARNO may be reached by rail from Bellinzona in forty minutes. This pretty town, situated at the top of Lake Maggiore, has a mild climate, and is an excellent winter resort. The church Madonna del Sasso, situated above the town, is worth a visit, as it contains interesting paintings, "Entombment," by Ciseri, and "The Flight into Egypt," by Bramanfion.
LUCERNE —A striking picture on the Lake of Lucerne facing the Rigi and Pilatus and the snow-clad Alps.
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 in delightful excursions, those to the Rigi, Pilatus, Burgenstock and Sonnenberg needing a special visit each. Other excursions on the lake can be made by steamer, and the ever-changing scenery on the trip from Lucerne to Fluelen is a source of dlelight to the lover of nature.

TEN years ago we established in London the CAXTON TYPE FOUNDRY to manufacture Printing Types on the interchangeable time and labor-saving principles of Standard Point Line, and Point Set on Point Body. We claimed, and have establisked the statement, that the exclusive use of Caxton Printing Types would save one-fourth of the compositors time in the setting of all kinds of hand composition. At the present time over 10,000 Printers in tke United Kingdom, Australasia, Canada, Africa, tke Indian Empire and other British possessions are customers of tke Caxton Type Foundry.
As is well known, the type industry of America is controlled by a type TRUST, and in the United Kingdom by a similar organization known as the type RING of British Type Manufacturers.
The CAXTON TYPE FOUNDRY was founded to oppose all suck combinations. It is independent of all such connections, and is therefore, selling type at a lower price, and furthermore, guarantees to sell at the same price in all parts of the British Empire.
Another branch is the CAXTON WOOD MILLS, the largest and most complete Wood Working Plant in the British Empire exclusively employed in the production of space and labour - saving woodwork for Printers. We kave made a speciality of using hard wood exclusively in all our productions. Wood Furniture and Reglet is made out of Tungstone. a specially close-grained Wood which is so heavy that it sinks in water and is therefore particularly valuable.
We are also makers of the widest and the most complete range of PLATEN PRESSES in the World, comprising the well-known ''Caxton" Platen, for fine work: the light-running "Swift" Platen for small printers: the Haddon "Improved Gordon," suitable for any jobbing printer: the Haddon "Safety Platen," capable of printing 2,500 full forms per hour: the Haddon "Improved Victoria," modelled on the Croppar principle, but superior in construction and output.
We invite enquiries, when complete Catalogies with all details will be sent post free.
Yours faithfully, JOHN HADDON & CO.
