I hereby certify that I have taken samples of every vatting of Mackie's White Horse Celler Blend of Scotch Whisky used

indicate that it conforms to the standard for Pot Still Scotch Whisky set up

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1907
The comments of Mr. Edward Dicey, C.B., and Mr. J.M. Robertson, M.P., on British Administration in Egypt are considerable interest. Mr. Robertson has spoken in the House and has sinxe visited the country; Mr. Dicey writes after a long series of visits to Cairo Both are critical, but their criticisms differ extraordinarily, the C.B. telling us that we should withdraw our "young officials" for the country, leave a few Advisers and a Governor General and declare a Protectorate. The M.P. gave us to understand that he agreed with the policy of "Egypt for the Egyptians," but did not advocate an immediate scuttle on our part. Indeed, in a recent letter to the "Times" he seemed to express ideas similar to those enunciated by Lord Cromer in what one might term a Radical dress. The M.P. wants to "hurry up" the process of making Egyptians
fit to govern themselves-such, at least, is our deduction. The C.B. would put them for good and all under British Rule leaving them reasonably free in all matters of internal administration.
As far as evacuation goes Mr. Dicey opposes it. Mr. Robertson would obviously deprecate it as premature. The seems to be the only point on which these two gentlemen disagree. Mr. Dicey complains that the modern Egyptian is morally inferior to his forbears "or at least not superior", while Mr. Robertson is said, we know not with what truth, to have stated that in his opinion the modern Egyptian was somewhat maligned. While holding that owing to evil traditions, the seclusion of women, and an unfortunate history, the Egyptian is as a rule morally inferior to the average citizen of the principal European states, we are none the less confident that the best type of modern Egyptian is superior to his forbears. It is idle to quote the names of illustrious Egyptians of the past century. Without exception they were not Egyptians, but Turks, European renegaes, Armenians, or Circassians. Suleiman Pasha, the great Mohemet Ali, Lazoghlu, Ibrahim Pasha, Nubar, Tigrane, Riaz, Ismail Pasha were all men who played a great part in the history of Egypt. But they were no more "Egyptian Standard," so that arguments based on their Egyptian origin have no foundation whatever of fact. Indeed, only two Egyptians stand out prominently between 1850 and 1882: one was Arabi Pasha, who was no genius-simply a tool in the hands of a group of intriguersand the Mufettish, of whom the less said the better. Sheikh Mohamed Abdou was the first real Egyptian to show more than ordinary ability, and we have now several men who in the language of the trainer are "coming on." They are pure Egyptians and their advent, in our opinionm betokens that an advance has been made both intellectually and morally.

The Egyptian Directory and Advertising Company Limited's Egyptian Directory for 1907 is a very useful work, which has already reached its fifth year of publication. The publishers, Messrs.

One of the most useful features of this year's publication is the very complete list of companies established in Egypt. We have looked through this list, and find that it is very up-to-date and includes all the latest issues.
Our Port Said contemporary the "Verite," narrating the incidents which ensued upon the skirmish on board the Ottoman transport Hodeidah, states that, contrary to what the Turkish commander told the local authorities, there was only one Syrian soldier killed, and whose body was picked up in the canal near Tireh. No other body has since been found. The fight occurred between Kabret and Suez; it was begun by the Turks. There were fifteen wounded in all, two seriously, but the commander and pilot are not of the number. The commander telegraphed to the Ottoman Commissioner reporting the arrival of his vessel at Suez with damages to her engines which will need repair. The number of deserters is 280. The desertion from the transport is the talk of the town at Suez and Port Said, where the question of the neutrality of the Canal is appositely raised in view of the unwarrantable action of the Turks in firing on deserters who were at the time on foreign, or extra-territorial, land or water.

American Futures. The market this week has displayed renewed activity, and with a better tone than for some weeks past prices have advanced 20 ½ @ 26 ½ points for old, and 16 ½ @ 19 ½ for new crop positions, over last Thursday. The advance has taken the market rather by surprise, as generally everybody was predicting lower prices, nor is it quite easy to say what has caused the change. There is just an indication that the crop movements are slackening, and undoubtedly the American markets have been running very short and there has been covering on that account, but there has also been some more businessw and a more confident feeling.

NORTH EGYPT LAND COMPANY
To the Editor of the "Egyptian Gazette."
Dear Sir, -- Readers of the "Gazette" will no doubt remember the flotation of the North Egypt Land Company, which company was formed to take over certain lands at Mariout. From the very start the company seemed to be in difficulties from the fact that original subscribers lost confidence in the concern and refused to pay up the second instalment. The thing has been hanging fare for about eighteen months but now a certain amount of energy has been inspired into the directors; the latest move on their part is a circular to all the subscribers threatening them with the confiscation of their shares of they do not at once pay up the amounts due; at the same time, however, they fail to give the shareholders any definite statement of the position of the company except that they have sold a certain 1000 feddans for L35,000. No word is said as to when the amount is payable.
As a shareholder I would like to ask why it is the directors have not been able to see their way to take the shareholders into their confidence in making a clear statement as to the positions of the company. If there is nothing to conceal there is every reason in the interests of all that all the facts should see the light of day; if, on the other hand, the directors are not able to "face the music" then the less said the better.
In the hope that this letter will have the effect of inducing the directors to come out in the open. – Yours, etc.

THE PAST YEAR'S WORK.
The following is the text of a speech delivered at the annual general meeting of the British Chamber of Commerce of Egypt by the president, Mr. H. P Kingham: --
Gentlemen, -- Before dealing with the actual work of the Chamber during the past 12 months, I think it may interest you if I give a brief summary of the remarkable advance in Egypt's imports and exports during the year 1906. In round figures, the imports amounted to 24 millions, thus showing an increase of 2 ½ millions on the preceding year. On the other hand, the exports totaled 25 millions, or 4 ½ millions in advance of 1905. In 1905, the balance of the imports and exports was slightly against this country, and certain parties deduced from this that Egypt was going to rack and ruin it is, therefore, satisfactory that the figures for 1906 have refuted these pessimistic predictions. With regard to England's share of Egypt's total imports, I find that in 1902 her percentage was 37.4, in 1903 36.1, in 1904 33.5, and in 1905 33%. This gradual shrinkage was arrested last year when England's proportion rose to 33.5%. During 1906, France increased her trade with Egypt by nearly one per cent, Germany by 1.1%, and Belgium by 1.3%.
There has been much correspondence in the papers with reference to the recent financial stringency in this country, and many explanations – for the most part erroneous – have been advanced. We are accustomed to inaccuracies from newspapers, but it is regrettable that London Bank officials commit themselves in public meeting to the statement that the demand for gold was due to speculation in land,. We have it on the highest authority – that of the Financial Advisor to the Khedive – that the extra demand was for purely trade purposes. The amount of cotton shipped in 1906 was 6,696,569 cantars, against 6,527,085 cantars in 1905. The average price per cantar in 1906 was L3,065, against only L2,421 in 1905. This increase in value more than accounts for the extraordinary imports of gold during the latter part of 1906, which I may mention totalled about 8 millions.
Turning to our Chamber, it is pleasing to note that the accounts prove a flourishing state of affairs again, and that there is an excess of income over expenditure which is only L5 inferior to that of last year despite our increased expenditure. The Chamber's policy of giving its members, free of charge, almost every conceivable kind of information – even down to advising the Consul on the chances a lady typist would have of earning her living her – has been carefully carried out during 1906. Disputes between manufacturers and their agents here have been referred to us, and a large number of confidential reports on the standing of proposed buyers or agents have been supplied to members, while many firms at home have had agents recommended to them by us. We were asked on more than one occasion to help home manufacturers out of difficulties they had got into through having entered into relations with firms on this side about whom they knew absolutely nothing. As it turned out, an enquiry through this Chamber would, in each case, have put people on their guard. We have had visits during the year from sundry of our home members who have thus received personal attention from our Secretary. We have also corresponded on behalf of members with other Chambers of Commerce – notably with those of New York, Shanghai, Constantinople, Tunis, and Bombay. We have also been able to assist various Departments of the Egyptian and Sudan Governments with information, the same remarks applying to our Consuls both here and in Cairo.
During the course of the last 12 months, we have corresponded with the British Agency in Cairo on several matters, one of the most important being on the subject of Bankruptcy Laws. We were asked our opinion on certain proposals put forward by the Import Association here, who wished to modify the existing law on the Concordat Preventif by introducing a clause requiring that a debtor should obtain the sanction of three-quarters of the number of the creditors representing three-quarters of the amount of the liabilities. We, however, disagreed with these proposals, as we held that they would give greater power to the smaller creditors. We put forward our own ideas on the matter, and I am glad to say that the Judicial Commission adopted our views on the Import Association's suggestions.
I regret that we have not always been so successful in other efforts we have
made for the benefit of British trade. For example, we endeavored to secure
the proper folding of piece goods. As you are aware, piece goods are now
folded to represent yards or metres, but the folding is frequently
misleading and injury is done to honest firms, who fold exactly to measure.
However, the difficulties of dealing with the matter were found to be
insuperable. Other work which was done by us during the year, including the
investigation of various complaints, principally those relating to the
application of "ardieh," and the alleged preference given to an onion
exporter in the matter of storage ground on the quays. These were however,
of minor importance, and I need not trouble you with the details. We were
also instrumental in obtaining the continued running during the summer
months of the sorting van in connection with the letters for Alexandria by
the Brindisi mail. At the suggestion of our Cairo Committee, an employment
register was started, and applica
I am pleased to be able to report a considerable increase in membership during the course of the past year. On 1st January 1906 we had 398 members, whilst at the end of the year the figures were 478, being a net gain of 80 supporters.
With regard to the monthly Journal, it is rather an anomaly that the greater the increase in membership, the larger becomes the apparent loss on the publication, unless a corresponding increase in advertisements takes place. A number of new advertisements were secured in 1906, but the full benefit does not appear in last year's accounts. At the present moment, the advertisements in force show an increase in value for 1907 over 1906 of L54. More interest is being taken in the Journal, and I think the number of persons who read our publication, and do not immediately throw it into the wastepaper basket as soon as they have removed the envelope, is increasing. Our articles are copied in various trade journals (including the weekly one issued by the Board of Trade) and English newspapers. We also get enquiries from advertisement contractors at home for our rates, and we received more than one advertisement during year for which we in no way solicited, thus showing that the journal is becoming more and more known. A propos of the journal, I cannot help thinking that the increase in the flour shipments from England during 1906 has been in the main due to the manner in which we have from time to time drawn the attention of home millers to this market. A firm of British millers – for whom we found agents here – recently wrote us to the effect that they had done very well with the people we mentioned to them. They also gave us particulars of the flour they were regularly shipping, and they expressed the hope that their tonnage would induce the steamship companies to give them better facilities and more regular sailings.
That is nearly all I have to say, but there is just one other matter to which I should like to refer. You will remember that the opinion of this Chamber – along with that of other smaller bodies – on the subject of the abolition of the Capitulations was invited by Lord Cromer in his last annual report. Well, your Committee made a communication to his Lordship on the subject. It is neither necessary nor expedient that I should go into details, but the main drift of our opinion was in favour of the abolition of the Capitulations provided that the necessary guarantees securing the permanency of the British supremacy in Egypt were given. Certain reservations were made as to details. I feel sure that every member of this Chamber will approve our declaration.
The great activity and demand for goods during the marketing of the cotton crop from September onwards, culminating in the large clearances during December to settle up accounts, usually bring about a set-back in the volume of imports at the turn of the year. The returns for last month show no exception to the rule, the imports for that month amounting to L.E 2,036,463 as against L.E. 2,659,737 in the previous month. There is, however, a big increase of L.E. 258,739 on the figures for January, 1906. The exports during last month amounted to L.E. 3,808,655, an increase of L.E. 845,953 on the figures for the corresponding month last year.
The "Misr" states that news has been received at Constantinople that a gang of Arabs of the Hedjaz, armed with rifles, have attacked a caravan of Egyptian and Indian pilgrims at Nidmar El-Ghazal, near Mecca, and killed 20 Indians and 8 Egyptians. Four camels belonging to the caravan were also killed. Shortly afterwards, the Sherif of Mecca received orders to send a military force to run the Arabs to earth.

FEBRUARY SKYE MEETING.
The February Skye Meeting at Helouan yesterday was not so well attended as usual, in spite of the genial weather, which was even more balmy and spring-like in Helouan than in Cairo.
However, a good many people took advantage of the occasion to lunch at the Twefik Palace and Grand Hotel before the races commenced, among those at the former mentioned hotel being
Lord Egerton of Tatton and the Duchess of Buckingham, the Earl and Countess of Albemarle, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Stout and a party of friends, and Mrs. Eddy and her daughter. Most of these found their way to the adjoining grand-stand in time to witness the first race, and various others arrived later on. Lady Newborough was noticed on the ground, and the Countess of Karolyi was there with her daughter and the Mlles Villebois. Miss Bullock was with Mrs. Stout, and Capt. and Mrs. Schrieber had Miss Hurley with them. Sir Robert Dashwood was with friends, as also was Lord Rosslyn. Mr. and Mrs. Kershaw were there, as were Mr. and Mrs. George Royle and Mrs. Maclean; and as usual most of those who make Helouan their winter home were on the spot.
The following are the results of the races: --
MAIDEN PONY RACE of PT 2,000, second horse to receive P.T. 300, if 4 or more start, and third horse P.T. 200 if 6 or more start out of the stakes. For Arab Ponies that have never won a race of any description or value. Weight for age and inches. Distance ¾ mile.

Ibrahim Bey Cherif's g.a.h. Temsah, 10.7. Thompson. 2
Ishak Bey Hussein's g.a.p Twenty-five, 10.5. Stillwell. 3
Koukidis jumped ahead at the start on Mashkour, and was at no time seriously challenged, but towards the end Temsah gained little by little, and eventually only lost by a length and a half, with Milord a fair third.
TRIAL PLATE of P.T. 2,000, second horse to receive P.T. 300 if 4 or more start, and third horse P.T. 200 if 6 or more start out of the stakes. For Arab Horses that have never won a race of any description or value. Weight or age. Distance 5 gurlongs.

Messrs. A. J. Sursock and A. J. Michaelides' ch.a.h. Happy Boy, 10.7. Challoner. 3
After a very good start Beatty on Damon forged ahead early in the course and kept his lead easily, but there was a hard and exciting fight for second place between Voltigeur and Matarawi which ended in a dead heat. Happy Boy also made a good attempt for second place, but never really looked like securing it.
MAIDEN GALLOWAY RACE of P.T. 2,000, second horse to receive P.T. 300 if 4 or more start, and third horse P.T. 200 if 6 or more start, out of the stakes. For Arab Galloways. Weight for age and inches. Winners of a race of any description or value to carry 1 stone extra. Distance 1 mile.

Saad Bey Shedeed's g.a.h. Mazouk, 10.7. Ahmed Abeid. 0
Mr Emin Karam's b.a.h. Chater, 9.13. Fenwick. 0
This was the first race in which all the entries started and the six horses went off in a bunch at a rattling speed. Ghazi won fairly easily, being followed by Siham, and Memnon was only a poor third.
CONSOLATION STAKES of P.T. 1,500, second horse to receive 300, if 4 or more start, and third horse P.T. 200 if six or more start out of the stakes. For Maiden Arab horses that have not won a race of any description or value since 1st November 1906. Weight for age and inches. Distance ½ mile. v Mr. Emin Karam's ch.a.h. Ladase, 10.3. Fenwick. 1
Messrs. A. J. Sursock and A. J. Michaelides' g.a.p. Derry Boy, 9.9. Beatty. 2
Moharrem Pasha Chehin's Meroui. 3
This race is a very poor one, there being only three entries and Moharrem Pasha Chehin's Mashkour was scratched, but happily Meroui was able to take its place, though apparently with little chance of winning. From a bad start Ladase had it fairly well his own way all around the course and won with ease, but Derry Boy beat Meroui hollow for second place.
NOVICE STAKES of P.T. 1,500, second horse to receive P.T. 300 if 4 or more start and third horse P.T. 200 if 6 or more start out of the stakes. For Arab Horses that have never run in any race of any description or value under Sporting Club rules (flat, hurdle race or steeplechase). Weight for age. Horses to carry 10st. 7lbs.

Messrs. A. J. Sursock and A. J. Michaelides' g.a.h. Mercury, 10.5 Challoner. 0
Ibrahim Bey Cherif's c.a.h. Milord, 9.9. Thompson. 0
This race was the best contested event of the afternoon, the finish being most exciting. All five horses started off fairly well in a bunch and kept together for a considerable distance, but Glouglou, Beddier, and Nebih gradually drew a head together and the former two kept almost neck to neck with the last named close behind. At the finish Glouglou only won by the narrowest margin, and only half a length separated Beddier and Nebib.
CHAMPION SCURRY of P.T. 2,000. For all Arabs, and a forced entry for all horses, Galloways and Ponies that have been entered for any race at this meeting. Second horse to receive PT 300 if 4 or more start, and third horse PT 200 if 6 more more start out of the stakes. Weight for age and inches with penalties. Distance ½ mile.

Messrs. A. J. Sursock and A.J. Michaelides' Price Solel, 10.7. Challoner. 0
Messrs. A. J. Sursock and A. J. Michaelides' Pan, 10.3. Beatty. 0
Out of the twenty-five entries only seven horses started, and the start at the first attempt was bungled. The second effort, however, saw all the horses go off well together and a splendid run for first place was made. Positions were frequently exchanged, but Chere towards the end made a very good effort and got well in front of Siham and Ghzai, with whom he was running almost level, and eventually won by a good length. Ghazi made a good struggle for third place, but was fairly easily beaten in the last lap by Siham.

The Italian poet, Signor Carducci, is dead (Reuter)
Josue Carducci, the Italian poet, was born at Val di Castello, near Pietrasanta, in 1836 Most of his poems are anti-religions. He started in life as a journalist, and founded the "Poliziani" at Florence, which only had a short existence; he then published his "Juvenalia," a collection of poems, 1858, and notices of the poetry of Alfieri and Giusti, 1860, and was the same year appointed professor of Italian literature at Bologne University. The 'Hymn to Satan" was his best piece of work he published it in 1865 under the pseudonym of Enotrio Romano, a signature which he employed ever afterwards when writing fiction; he signed his own name only when writing as a professor or critic. Among other of his poetical works were "Levia gravis," "Iambes and Epodes," "New Poems," "Barbarian Odes," "Garibaldi," "Ca ira," "September 1792," "Petrarch," and "Boccaccio." His essays include "Commentaries on Petrarch's Rhymes." In 1887 a special class was formed at the University of Rome to explain the poems of Dante, and show the celebrated writer to be an enemy of the Papacy and of temporal power. He refused the offer of the chair, on the ground that he did not believe what he considered to be a historic falsehood. He was made a Senator in 1890.

BY ONE OF THE GARRISON
As I write this, a few days before Christmas, great tidings are to hand of a valuable consignment- of Christmas puddings on the way from London. These accompanied by a case of good old English holly, berries and all, were safely detrained at the present terminus of the Cape-to-Cairo Railway, just over the way on the Blue Nile opposite to us in Khartoum. Could anything more genially emphasise the wondrous transformation scene — surpassing anything that old Drury Lane could produce— which British rule, or rather the rule of Britons, has effected here in a few short years?
Often as the lucubrations of Little Engenders and anti-nationalists, who seem to be the top dog at home just now, filter through to us with the papers from Cairo, one looks around and realises the mighty pity of the remoteness of these great racial object-lessons from the ignorant horde of island-bound fanatics who bark like frightened curs at every distant vision of Empire. But, of course, you must have been here in the dark days of battle, murder, and sudden death to appreciate fully the brilliance of the present, irradiating from a new and splendid city which has arisen in a few short years out of a filthy shambles smelling of blood.
Imagine, if you can, that yon are nearing Khartoum by rail, after a thousand miles of comparative waste and barrenness which has become by this time rather wearisome. Some one tells you that the city is in sight. You look towards it and are charmed, for it seems a veritable Eden of verdure after your late experiences. Backed by the African blue of the sky, and bowered in bountiful masses of green, interspersed with graceful palms, rises the white palaces of the Governor, a glistening mass of buildings, in which beauty and elegance have not been sacrificed to certain military considerations which wisely entered into the design of a structure that was to rise upon the scene of Gordon's tragic end. So its walls are stout, and along the river front they present a very plain and militant appearance.
The verdant appearance of the city, which adds so much to the strange charm of its situation, is due to the fact that the Dervish hordes who did their best to destroy what Gordon left, including his palace, never thought of cutting down the trees, many of which Gordon himself had placed there; while all .his rose-trees were left by the Mahdist vandals just as he planted them, and still bear witness in the garden of the Governor- General to the heroic soldier's care for simple things amidst the desperate defence of the beleaguered city.
From the river front one enters the palace by an arched gateway in the long wall. Once inside, a charming picture captivates our gaze —green lawns shaded by beautiful masses of foliage: vistas of fair gardens ablaze with flowers of many a hue, both tropical and European, which lure one in every direction as one gazes on the parklike scene where sun and shadow divide their reign amidst magnificent trees and tiny streamlets of sparkling water. The grounds are in all about eleven acres in extent, and present a triumph of assiduous gardening in such close proximity to the Equator.
The garden front of the Palace is destined to secure the maximum amount of coolness and comfort with its triple tiers of arched colonnades formed in a hollow square. Artisitically curving flights of steps lead up from the rosery to the lower colonnade. This is based upon a further series of arches, which also do much to secure the coolness of the interior. One of these flights of steps leads past the scene of Gordon's last stand and death, and this is marked for the benefit of future generations with an inscription upon a granite slab. The state and private apartments are handsome, well-proportioned rooms, and there can only be one opinion that, chaffed as they may have been at different times over other achievements, Khartoum and its palace will always remain a splendid monument to the architectural ingenuity of the Royal Engineers. They designed and decorated the palace, and it is upon their plans that so many fine buildings have been, and are being, erected in the city at the present moment.
Khartoum has been so rapidly modernised that it is impossible to say where it
will stop when the completion of the great transcontinental line places it
in one of the world's great commercial highways. Already in its present
state of development a splendid monument of British civilising energy, it is
the wonder of beholders from Europe and America,
Beside the Palace of the Governor-General there rises not far distant another handsome block of buildings. These are the headquarter offices of the Sudan Government, for Khartoum will always remain the seat of administration. Then, adding distinction to other parts of the city, there is the Gordon College, the War Office, the Courts of Justice, Post and Telegraphs, Government stores, police and military barracks, Mudirieh, all handsome specimens of architecture evolved by the genius of the Royal Engineers. Besides these, the banks are housed in extremely fine buildings, while numerous and beautiful private houses are rising up on all sides. There is excellent hotel accommodation for the visitors, who always troop down by rail during the Cairo season, and for residents there is the "Sudan Club.'' The entrance fee of the latter is not extravagant, but its subscription is up to the size of a good club in London for those who live in Khartoum. The dinners are good, and its rooms comfortably furnished while polo and race-meetings make it a general rendezvous.
As a setting to the many architectural features of the city, beautiful gardens have been laid out in many directions and planted with trees and flowers. For two miles along the river side runs a promenade shaded with palms and other trees, while shrubberies attract the eye on all sides, in which the flora almost entirely belongs to the Soudan. Here Khartoum society rides and walks, or perchance it betakes itself to the zoological gardens, in which a military band always plays on Sundays.
It is a pity that more of the actual building of new Khartoum could not have been given to natives, but the Mahdist terror which destroyed the land and all its ancient handicrafts is responsible for the fact that the work has had to be given to Italians. The natives, however, are eager to be taught everything, and under the benign rule of Britain the country is being once more repopulated, and, as a sheikh observed to me the other day, "Our people have never known such blessings, such peace and justice before."
There is plenty of work every day in Khartoum for able-bodied natives who, each race by itself, live in their own village cantonments outside Khartoum, each under the rule of their own headman, whom we hold responsible for their orderly behavior and cleanliness. All—men, women, and children—are perfectly happy and contented. Work is well paid, and, besides that which the men do, thousands of women find employment at good wages in the building works, mixing mortar, digging foundations, carrying brick-, etc., or act as gardeners or sweepers. The black hand of oppression has been lifted from the land, and all are free to have and to hold what is their own without fear and trembling. As one moves around and sees the evident happiness of the people, one cannot help an occasional sneaking feeling of pride in the work of one's race, though to doubt our Little Englanders would find something to bark at, as they did at the destruction of the Mahdi's tomb. II .waver, the work is likely to outlast them and their opinions together.
The ruins of the Mahdi's tomb, the Khalifa's house, and the Dervish arsenal are still the chief attractions at Omdurman, which is on the White Nile about three miles round the corner westward. With its mud hovels it serves to emphasise the change in the timer, although it is now intersected by wide roads and is under strict police supervision. No doubt it will gradually disappear with the extension of the modern city, for we are still dreaming of future development, and with the abounding prosperity which must come with the development of the great railway communications to the east and south, it is impossible to place a limit to the future magnificence of the new city.
Anyway, those with a few weeks to spare will find plenty of unusual interest in and around this fine new African metropolis, which is now only five days by rail from Assouan, a splendid lite with capital dining and sleeping cars, and hot baths awaiting the traveler at Abn Hamed. These are erected close to tin- line, and are fitted with every comfort, the water being pumped from the Nile three- quarters of a mile away. ("Pall Mall Gazette").

There will be very few changes in the .army of occupation in Egypt in the next relief season; in fact, the movements will be limited to that of the 1st Battalion of the Yorkshire Regiment from Aldershot to replace the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Inniskilling. Fusiliers, ordered home from Cairo to Dublin. The gallant "Green Howards" were last in Egypt in 1889. They were distinguished in the Boer War.
The 1st King's Dragoon Guards, Hounslow, will leave for India in the coming trooping season to replace the 3rd King's Own Hussars, now at Sialkot, Panjab. The K.D.G.'s were last in India in the early "nineties." They will be replaced at Hounslow by the 2nd Dragoon Guards—the Queen's Bays—now at Pretoria, Transvaal.
The 1st Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers will leave Belfast on the 12th inst. for Southampton, where it will embark the following day at 2 p.m. on the SS Sicilia for conveyance to Crate, which will be reached about the 24th inst The details of the Inniskillings, and the Connaught Bangers, will leave Belfast and Mullingar respectively on the 19tb inst. for Tidworth Camp, where they will be attached to the Provisional Battalion.
Major Viscount Hawkesbury, M.V.O., Rifle Brigade, who has just retired from the "Green- jackets," served in them since May 1,1891, and recently was promoted major. He held several staff appointments daring his service, and was recently adjutant of the Shropshire Volunteers.
The command of the Third Brigade, Aidershot, for which a Guardsman was not unlikely to be a nominee, has been filled by the selection of Brigadier General the Honourable Henniker- Major, C.B, presently in charge of administration in Ireland. He will succeed Brigadier General Pilcher next May.
The command of the Coldstream Guards is vacant by the promotion of Colonel A.E. Codrington, C.B., to major general. The next senior officer is Colonel F.I. Maxse, D.S.O., commanding the 2nd Battalion, Aldershot.
Lieutenant Rupert C. Soy the, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, who has just been appointed adjutant of the 1st Battalion, has been promoted captain, and seconded.

The sentence of a district court martial on ex-Squadron Sergeant Major Moore, 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, whose case was folly reported in these notes, has been confirmed and promulgated. He has been reduced to the rank of corporal, which carries with it the forfeiture of his South Africa medals. The pity of it. Moore w is mentioned in despatches far servicer in the war, and it is stated that he was recommended for a commission.

A la rigneur, on pourrait scinder la semaine qui vient de fiuir en deux parties, sinon d'egale importance comme nombre de seaneces, du moins se valant sous le rapport de l'interet qu'elles ont offert au public, quoique dans des sens tout-a-fait opposes. La premiere, qui va de samedi a mardi a l beure, avait debute ferme et en hausse sous les efforts des detenteurs des contrats, mais le releve de la statistique eguyptienne a Liverpool, reca dans le courant de la matinee, n'ayant pas donne' tonte la satisfaction voulue, le calme n'a pas tarde a survenir et pour les deux jour suivants, a la faiblesse s'est jointe la baisse. A chaque c'oture sous etions en recul, au point que nois avions fini par tomber a 21 ½, apres avoir passe par le minimum de 21 3/16 pour le mars.
La suspension d'affaires que nous avons ene dans l'apree-midi a l'occasion du Marti-Gra est venue non seulement mette un arret au movement retrograde, mais ondirait qu'elle a eu encore pour effet de modifier les dispositions de la speculation a la hausse, qu s'etait montree jusques-la un pen trop influence par la continuation des gros arrivages et la diminution des exportations, du moins a ce que les scheteurs eux memes ont fini a tort par croire. Le fait est que la rentree des haussiers au marce Mercredimatin a eu lieu avec un sentiment tout different de celui qui avait domine chez eux dans les trois journees precedents, dar, a partir de ce moment-la, c'est la fermete qui a pris le dessus. Dupis, cette nouvelle tendance n'a fait que s'accenteur par la suite, et le tout s'est traduit detinitivement par une avance marquee qui a fini par ramener le Mars a 21 9/16, apres l'avoir fait passer par le maximum de 21 5/8.
Tel eat en somme le resume des prouessesdes trois dernieres journees; seulement, ce qui etonne le plus, ce n'est pas le resultat matierla de 1/8 de hausse sur la cote de Vendredi dernier, resultat qu aurait pu tout aussi bien etre obtenu moyennant une manoeuvre quelconque, mais c'est la facilite avec laquelle toutes les raisons qui existaient pour la baisse ont ete oubliees ou mises de cote, de maniere a faire penser que les haussiers avaient fini par s'y habituer et par ne plus en faire de cae. Tout drole que dela puisse paratire, la realite est celle-la: Lln'y a que la volonte de la speculation qui compte, et ni movement de la recolte, ni importantce de son rendement, ni abstention de la consummation, rein ne peut faire pencher la balance du cote de la baisse. On veut la hausse, et on tachera de la produire par tous les moyens possibles!
Les reste viendra par la suite, plus tard, beaucoup plus tard; ce qu'il y a d'urgent pour le parti de la hausse c'est d'eviter l'ecueil de l'echeance mars et ses consequences et, a sa facon de juger, il n'y a que la fermete pour y arriver, et pour y parvenier toutes les assertions sont bonnes. Et dans ce but, on ne craint pas d'affirmer, malgre l'evidence contraire qui resort des arrivages et des informations de l'interieur, que la recolte n'est que de 6 ½ millions de cantars, qu'il y a un grand decouvert sur mars, qu'il y a une maison deja perparee a recevoir 200,000 cantars de mars et que les artitragistes ont deja reporte une grande partie de la position sur mai; la plupart de ces affirmations ne visent qu'a influence l'opinion en vue des transerts a faire de mars a mai,
car, au fond, il n'y a qu'un seul point de vrai et c'est l'assertion que l'interet des haussiers se porte aujourd'hui partiellement sur mai; mais en supposant que l'on reussisse a tout reporter sans angmenter les taux aetuels, qu'aura fait apres tout la speculation a la hausse? Simplement gagner du temps, sans toutefois avoir la certitude finale d'une reussite, la prorogation de l'echeance ne pouvant signifier autre chose que rencherissement de la merchandise et la filature pouvant tonjours se defender en ayant recours aux achats par petite parties, au fur et a mesure des besoinsan cas ou elle serait force de revenir au marche dans un moment defavorable pour elle.
Il n'y aurait donc que l'imprevu sur lequel on pourrait jeuer, mais a celui-la on pourrait oppose le fait que la filature refuse de prendre le moindre engagement pour livraisons rapprochees, quell que soit le prix, ce qui indiquerait qu'elle ne pent travailler advantage qu'elle ne le feit et comme elle est naurellement converte pour ce qu'elle a deja vendu en fait de files, elle n'a pas besoin d'acheter du vieux coton pour les contrats qu'elle peat passer pour la prochaine campaign! Du reste, le Novembre a 19 tallaris environ liu offer pour cela une bien meilleure couverture!!
Autant les affaires ont ete limitees Durant les trois journees de baisse, autant l'activite a e e grande dans la derniere partie de la semaine, surtout sujourd'hui qui a ete la journee culminante. Toutefois, c'est la nouvelle recolte qui a le plus profite de l'etat du marche expose plus haut, ce qui ne doit geure surprendre, etant donne l'existence reelle du decouvert sur Novembre, L'importance des positions en prescence, ainsi que le fait indeniable de la part prise aux affaires pour l'annee prochaine par l'exportation. La filature a achete et quoique ses operations soient limites a une partie du Continent, il n'en est pas moins vrai que cette participation n'en constitue pas moins une aide precieuse pour la speculation. On pretend que l'Angleterre a aussiachete, mais le fait n'est pas confirme et dans tous les cas il ne assurait etre question que de faits isoles. De la part del l'Amerique,
La demande a porte aujourd'hui d'une maniere particuliere sur le janvier que etait en deport et c'est ce te circumstance qui a donne l'eveil a la speculation que le commerce etait en train d'acheter, le janvier dans les conditions cu il se trouvait constituent pour lui me converture plus avantageuse pour ses ventes a l'etranger. On commence peut-etre a exagerer un peu les choses pour ce qui regarde la recoite prochaine, mais en somme jusqu'ici il y a une certaine justification aux haut scour de moment. Pour la suite il y aura la question de la recolte qui reglera les choses. En tous cas, si cette situation persiste, ce sera lea manne pour le cultivateur egyptien qui peut deja assurer une partie de la recolte qu'il n'a pass encore plantee dans les L4 ½ environ pour son coton en grains!! Il faut bien reconnailire que la syeanlation a parfois du bon pour que ques-oos.
Nos lecteurs 10:18 rendront cette fois ceite justice que ce qui arrive
sur la nouvelle recolte a ete prevu par nous, (et nous employons expres
cette phrase comme reponse aux gonailleurs qui trouvaint que nous
faisions fausse route avec nos idees sur la situation de la Vielle
recolte) mais nous esperons que ceux qui cont a la hausse sauront se
moderer pour ne pas gater les choses, car nous persistons tonjours a
croire qu'a un moment donne la vieille recolte nous jouera un mauvis
tour et
La cloture pour la nonvelle recolte a eu lien sur la cote de 19 1/8 pour le novembre et 19 3/16 our le janvier, soit respectivement 7/32 et 11/32 de hausse.
Le marche du disponible chez nous a eu des moments d'animation, mais comme ensemble, nous sommes dans la meme position qu'il y a huit jours. Pour ce qui est des prix, il n'y a que les Jonnovich qui aient monte de ¼ de tallari, pour cause de rarete et de recherché special, tandis que le restant de la cote est inchange.
Les exportations de la semaine ont ete une veritable disillusion avec leur total de 18000 balles, reste inferieur aux previsions moderees qui avaient ete donnees. L'annee dernier le chiffre de la periode correspondante etait de 33000 balles.
Pour la demaine prochaine, il n'y aura rien de brilliant, malgre les 16 ½ 17000 balles en tout pour 1906; on ne saurait toutefois encore enoncer une quantite quelconque.
Cette diminution dans nos expeditions est a prendre en serieuse deja lances par nous que la difference entre le mois courant et fevrier 1906 sera de 30% en moins. Pour la premiere qunzaine il y a deja 12000 balles et selon toutes probabilities, pour la seconde partie il y aura a peu pres egale quantite, sinon plus, a ajouter, ce qui finirait par reduire a 60000 balles le surplus dans les retraits de la filature.
Il n'y a pas a badiner avec cet e question, car d'autre part comme recettes nous sommes a cant. 6.150.000, et comme les personnes les plus a meme d'etre renseignees admettent qu'il reste dans l'interieur 500.000 cantars, cela nous fera, avec les rectifications habitnelles, etc. etc., une recolte d'au moins 6.800.000 cantars, et peut etre meme de 7 millions, s'il y a la moindre surprise, comme il s'en produit souvent chez nous.
Da Liverpool on ecrit qua la plus grande partie des achats en Egyptiens ces temps derniers etait faite par les maisons d'Alexandrie, Nous nous en dontions un peu, la difference entre no scours et Liverpool offrant un advantage reel a ceux qui avaient des engagements qu'ils pouvaient executer en achetant la-bas. Eu tous cas, s ices achats out momentanement raffermi les prix de Liverpool et produit un rapprochement avec nous, le contre-coup se fera sentir chez nous dans les exportations. Ce sera le revers de la medaille.
Les Americains, assez actifs, perdent pour la semaine 6 points sur le disponible qui vaut 6.03, et 4 et 1 sur les futurs qui ont cloture respectivement a 5.65 pour le mars avril et 5.58 pour le juillet-aout.
Eu Amerique il y a tonjours manqué de speculation.
GRAINES DE COTON
Les arrivages ont beaucoup depasse les besoins de la semaine, mais par suite des nouveaux engagements pris par l'exportation pour le mois ourant, la demande a ete excellente et a tout absorbe a des prix qui, independammentde cette circonstance, ont aussi profite de la bonne situation des contrats, consequence de la hausse de Hull, Le fait est que le disponible a fini a P.T. 75.
En contrats, il n'y a pas eu beaucoup d'affaires, mais la cote est a P.T. 2/1 au dessus dela semaine passee, le Fevrier-Mars ayant fini a PT 76 ½. Les vendeurs serioux font defaut.
L'Angleterre a bouge cette semaine et a monte tout a coup a L7. 7/6 et L7. 10/-, suivant position et date d'embarquement. La cause e nest la hausse des huiles en Amerique motive par les manipulations speculatives basees sur la rarete de l'article en bonnes qualites. Notre graine en profite pour les dates rapprochees, mais la concurrence nous pend sur la tete pour les mois plus eloignes.
On a inaugure les affaires, sur la prochaine recolte sur le cours de P.T.70. Le prix pourtant a attire les vendeurs et fait finir les 3 mois a P.T. 69 ½.

La lourdeur du marche samedi et lundi etait attribuee par quelques-uns aux fetes du mardi-gras, mais la tenue des jours suivants a revele que la place etait influence par des causes bien plus graves. La fait es que des deux dernieres séances ont brille par une affluence inusitee de vendeurs ne trouvant pas de contrepartie. Les acheteurs s'etaient eclipses. Il e nest ainsi a chaque nouvelle emission, quelle qu'elle soit. On vend les titres qu'on a pour souscrire. C'est ce qui explique l'absence des acheteurs, l'affluence des vendeurs et l'adminrable success de l'emission du jour qui a ete trente tois (30 fois!) courerte, en depit d'une disette monetaire encore aigue. La prime de cette emission fortune n'est pourtant que de 1/32-1/16. Les titres ont ainsi, a leur facon, leur Carnaval.
La consequence de cet etat d'esprit chez nos speculateurs n'a jamais ete aussi elequente que cette semaine. Sur une soixantaine de valeurs inscrites a la cote officielle de notre place, 32 sont eu haisse, 7 seulement en hausse et les autres demeurent stationnaires.
Sur les marches de Loudres et de Paris le ton n'est guere meilleur qu'ici et c'est en partie a l'influence de ces deux phares directeurs qu'il faut attibuer l'abstention momentanee des gros capitaliates egyptiens, ainsi que les precautions minutienuses des banques. Les principaux establissements de credit du pays ne peuvent moins faire, en efft euq d'obeir aux indications ces places avec lesquelles ils on d'etroits rapports et en l'espece leur reserve s'accroit de la defiance suscitee par les bevues de la speculation locale. De la leur refus de consenter de nouvelles avances. Notre marche devra leur savoir gre de cette attitude, a la condition toutefois que leur rigneur dure assez pour eliminer de la cote le clinquant de nos valeurs.
Parmi les banques, l'Agricole perd 1/8 a 9 27/32, et la National 1/16 a 28. La Cassa di Sconto recule de 4 fr a 276 l'ancienne et 270 la nouvelle.

L'Union Fonciere a refuse, il y a quelques jours, une offer de L.E. 101 par feddan pour un lot de mille feddans de sa proprie e de Gharbieh, qu'elle avait achetee a raison de L.E. 52 le faddan.

MRS. ADDIE HARDING. MRS. MARY MEYER. MRS. FRANCES WILSON.
PROBABLY every case of consumption begins with a cold.
Consumption is generally classed as a hereditary disease, but consumption is not hereditary.
A constitutional weakness is inherited which renders one liable to consumption.
Even people who have strong lungs may acquire consumption from a cold.
Mrs. Addie Harding, 121 W, Brighton Ave., Syracuse, N. Y., writes:
"I have been a user of Peruna for the last twelve years and can truthfully say that there is no better medicine on earth.
"A SURE PREVENTATIVE."
"With me it is a sure preventative for colds and many other ills. In my home can always be found a bottle of Peruna. Two or three times a year I am troubled with my throat.
"I always had to have the services of my physician two or three times in each case.
"Although a user of Peruna, I never thought of taking it for my throat until about two years ago.
"I tried Peruna to check it, and to my great delight I was not troubled with the smothered and choked feeling and never have since.
"I can check it every time with Peruna.
"I certainly would not be without Peruna one minute."
Mrs. Mary Meyer, Thomson avenue, near Shell Road, Winfield, L. L, N. Y., writes:
"I have been annoyed with a cough for years.
"Often it was so bad that I could not sleep half the night. Many people thought I had consumption.
CONSUMPTION WAS FEARED.
"A woman recommended Peruna to me two years ago. I began to take Peruna and now I am perfectly free from a cough,
"I am glad to say that Peruna cured me entirely, I take Peruna occasionally when I do not feel well and I also give it to my children.
"Peruna is the best medicine for coughs and colds. I have told many people how much Peruna has helped me."
A neglected cold is a well-worn path to consumption.
Many a person catches cold and pays no attention to it.
He scarcely recovers from the first cold when he takes the second.
Still he gives it no heed, and possibly takes another cold, and so on.
He doses himself with bromides, quinine and various expectorants.
His case is catarrh, at this stage, and his case should be treated as catarrh.
A common cold is acute catarrh.
Finally, if the cold is allowed to continue, it becomes chronic catarrh.
Mrs, Frances Wilson, 82 Nelson street, Clinton, Mass., writes:
"Had you seen me at the time of my illness and now, you would not wonder that 1 take delight in sounding the praises of Peruna.
"My ailment was a severe cold which attacked the bronchial tubes and lungs.
"I followed your special directions and after using six bottles of Peruna I was on my feet again.
"I think Peruna a wonderful medicine."
All colds, coughs, bronchitis, laryngtis and tonsilitis should be treated as catarrh, as they are in reality catarrh.
The success of Peruna in relieving these cases entirely depends upon the fact that Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
It relieves catarrh wherever located in the system. Whether in the throat, bronchial tubes or lungs.
CONSUMPTION PREVENTED.
It has saved a multitude of peo-ple from consumption by eradicating catarrh before it reaches the lungs.
The tendency of catarrh of the throat or head is to spread downward to the lungs.

Trois ou quatre titres seulement ont profite d'une avance; les sutrea ont eprouve des moins-values. A noter, comme traint caracteristique de la journee, un movement interessant sur les actions et parts de fondateur de la Societe d'Enterprises Immobilieres et de Travaux.

Les Entreprises Immobilieres et Travaux ont ete l'objet de fortes fluctuations; elles ont ete ramenees jusqu' a L.I. 8 pour remonter a 9 ¾ et clouturer a 9. Il n'y a pas lien d'attacher de l'importance a ces manoevres de Bourse, qui n'ont aucune correlation avec la valeur intrinseque du titre. Les parts ont fleche jusqn' a P.E. 200 pour terminer en cloture a 209. L'Epargne Immobiliere est restee a 3 ¼' as part a colture a 200.
L'Express Nile a ete traitee aux environs de 6 ½ pour finir a 6 3/8; sa part a cloture a 325. Ou peut s'attendre, a bref delai, a de plus hauts prix, etant donne les avantages que la vouvelle emission, don't nous parlons plus loin, presente aux detentears actuels.

"Notre marche a ete calme cette semaine, mais la tendance generale reste favorable. Dans le compartiment des valeurs egyptiennes, il y a eu des demandes en National Bank, en Agricole, Delta Land, Estates et Markets. On prevoit plus d'activite dans la seconde quinzaine.
La position de la Banque d'Angleterre continue a s'ameliorer. Cela provident des rentrees d'or qui comblent les vides importants faits l'anne derniere a nos reserves. L'Egypte renvoie une partie de ce qu'elle nois a pris. La Banque vient de recevoir de cette provenance L500,000. On avait craint que l'Inde mit la main sur le metal jaune accumule sur les bords du Nil; mais elle n'en a Presque rien fait. Il est egalement a noter que l'Amerique du Sud, don't on redoutait fort les demandes, s'abstient aussi pour le moment de nous inquieter. Reste a voir ce que peut nous reservoir le marche de New York."
Rappelons que, conformement au prospectus d'emission, c'est anjour'hui, 15 Fevrier, que doit etre effectue le versement du dernier quart (L1) sur les actions Epargue Immobiliere Ltd.

This is a condition (or disease) to which doctors give many names, but which few of them really understand. It it simply weakness—a break-down, as it were, of the vital forces that sustain the system. No matter what may be its causes (for they are almost numberless), its symptoms are much the same; the more prominent being sleeplessness, sense of prostration or weariness, depression of spirits and want of energy for all the ordinary affairs of life. Now, what alone is absolutely essential in all such cases is increased vitality—vigour--

This wonderful medicament is purely vegetable and innocuous, is agreeable to the taste —suitable for all constitutions and conditions, in either sex; and it is difficult to imagine a case of disease or derangement, whose main features are those of debility, that will not be speedily and permanently benefited by this never-failing recuperative essence, which is destined to cast into oblivion everything that had preceded it for this wide-spread and numerous class of human ailments.
