THE GREATEST care should be taken in what we eat and drink, yet we are too often indifferent and careless, notwithstanding health depends on what we eat and drink.
In regard to drink nothing but the best should be taken. It costs no more than the indifferent quality, if people would only ask for what they know is the best Old Scotch Whisky is the most wholesome beverage yet known Mackie's Scotch Whisky gives an undoubted guarantee to those who are not judges of quality.
CITY ANALYSTS LABORATORY,
138 BATH STREET,
GLASC0W, 8th October, 1906.
I hereby certify that I have taken samples of every vatting of Mackie's White Horse Celler Blend of Scotch Whisky used
in bottling during the month of September, and the results of my analyses
indicate that it conforms to the standard for Pot Still Scotch Whisky set up
in the London case. I am also of opinion that it is an old Whisky of
excellent quality and flavour, which has been well matured in wood.

Lord Cromer had returned to London to be received with greater honours than paid to any subject since the return Duke from the field of Waterloo. of Wales, heir to the British throne, to the sovereignty of the British dominion beyond the seas, has received the Consul-General of Egypt with head uncovered. The Duke of Connaught, brother of his Majesty the King and Commander of the British military forere in the Mediterranean, Prince Arthur of Connaught, the Prime Minister, who had affirmed at "Man
chestor the intention of His Majesty's Govern, ment to continue 'the policy initiated by the returning statesman, tin Edward Grey and the other Ministers of the British Government,- Lord Roberts, the captor of Cabul, Kandahar, Pretoria, and Bloemfontein, the representatives of tho Conservative opposition, all the leaders of a great nation were present to salute the home-coming of the uiaker of the new Egypt. We have already recounted the achievements of I»rd Cromer. He lias eminently deserved the reward bestowed upon him by a grateful sovereign and an admiring people, and the news that his advice will in the near future lie available in all questions connected with Egypt leads ns to believe that the seriotyi illness firom which he has suffered is rapidly yielding to the effects of rest and change. The vitality and the excellence of nations are to be measured by the great uteit whom they produce, and their civilisations are to lie juilged by their works and by their lives. Tho various aspects of the Greek genius, parent of the culture of the western workl, revealed themselves not only in the tragedies of an Aeschylus, in the marble masterpieces of a Phidias and.a Praxiteles, but in the life and martyrdom of Socrates, in the brief but brilliant conquests of Alexander of Macedon. The Roman genius was epitomised in Julius Caesar, and to the many-sided brilliancy of ^ho French people attest not only the conquest the discoveries, the literature, and the an of the Gallic race, but the lives of Jeanne d|/rc, ami Pasteur, Renan, and Uoligny. So with England, her statesmeijjind her men of action, her sages and her poets'are alike as much the expression of the vigour of the national organism as are the outward manifestations of health the proofs of tho inner soundness of the individual human organism. The existence arid recognition of- great men is a hopeful sign in the days of a nation's weakness, a guarantee of continued power in the days of its strength. Ou this account we rejoice to hear that the British jieople haSi through its representatives and its ruler granted "honour where honour is due,'' and by its action proved that gratitude and the memory of illustrious services and the atlmi- ration for great deeds still survive among the ' British race. Instances such as the betrayal of Parnell by his own followers, the attacks made ujioii Lord Milner by a Parliamentary majority, the campaign earned on nearly t*o centuries ago against the great Duke of Marlborough himself, are happily'exceptiona! in the history of British parties or of the British jteople. It lias been urged by certain modern thinkers "that this admiration for the individual is often excessive and sometimes dangerous, that whenever a high average of character and ability prevail among the various commutes and 'classes that go to form a nation there will lw no more room for the great statesman or for the great politician. We do not share this view, which appears to us to ho based uponrthe theory that with equal opportunities all men are intellectually equal, and to be mast vigorously exploited by tile, victims of two of the lowest and most animal instincts of nian^ kind—jealousy and fear. In our opinion the very fact tlmt some of the supporters of this theory pin their faith ou a future "aristocracy of intellect" is a sufficient disproof of their theory, which neglects alike the influence of heredity aijd of that subtle force, the absence of which must condemn the would-be great to obscurity—the will. We grant that national heroes liave at times been national dangers : hut even so the example of their first successes and the lessons taught by tlieir fall must I silently affect-future generations, while their exploits, if destructive, liave cleared away a host of obstructions to progress, and if construe tivo have at.the least laid rite foundatinns.it a new order. Lord Cromers career cannot yet be-fully judged, but we are confident that history will concur with the verdict passed by the British lieople. He has been accused by certain honest, if over-idealistic, Egyptians, (we have no intention of confounding honest critics with the disappointed place hunters, or dismissed public servants, who, in this, as in other countries, gratify their malice by petty spite) oHiaving by bis policy .crushed independence, of haring warred against ideals, of having cause.I a decline in-public morality and self respect' Yet at what epoch ill the past history of Egypt was there ever such.a conflict of opinions and ideals as we see tiwlay. The question of female- emancipation is being vigorously yliscussed, cdueali.in is a burning question, the"measures adopted by 'tlie Government are publicly defended or criticised, vices such as gambling and the smoking of hashish are vigorously assailed by the press ; in a word Egypt is beginning to awokeNjn « manner that would have been impossible in the days of Ismail or Mehemet Ali. Tlmt this conflict of ideas and ideals is at times marked by unseemly departures from the rules «?f war -if blows are struck below the belt it is regrettable, —brit we none the less believe in the eventual triumph of the cause of liberty and progrees for which Lord Cromer worked for well-nigh a generation. Ho may have made some errors ; but, if so, wc can still recommend to his honest critics the maxim of Napoleon Bona imite : "The best general is he who makes the fewest mistakes," and tho 'Turkish proverb "admix yary isteytm asarn yarsix' kalyr." I'D the less honest we commend saying "les chiens aboient, mais la care vane passe."

The "Pall Mall Gazette," in commenting on the violence with which Mr. Moore has been attacked in the vernacular newspapers, remarks : "But tho violenco with which this British official has been attacked is only one instance of the attitude of the Nationalist Press towards the class to which lie belongs, m,d the bitterness of feeling which inspires its utterances. Now, in Egypt, as in India, the British policy has been to act upon the principle that hard words break no bones That, however, is a doctrine which may lie pushed too far, especially in dealing with Orientals. Wherefore, it looks as if Sir Eldon Gorst may lmve to devote himself at an early date to the task of devising sterner measures for curtailing editorial exuberance. The present parallel between Egypt and India is too suggestive to lie pleasant."

CYCLING ON FOOTPATHS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EGYPTIAN GAZETTE " Sir, I beg to call the attention of the police, through the medium of your valuable paper, to the growing practice of cyclists using the h-ii-path on the new quay instead of the i Solway. The principal offenders are the standards and Europeans and both appear regard with utter indifference any risk it may cause to others und rarely is a hell rung. Only three nights back, a friend was hit into by a cyclist who had no bell, and was using the footpath quite regardless' pedestrians. My friend held on to him and called a policemen. Only first night I barely escaped a similar accident. As this is a living promenade and promised by by children and women, it would be well, if through the agency of your columns, in* effect were made to stop it. In other putts of Alexandria, such a thing would not be allowed, ^ncl 1 fail to see why a few selfish cyclists should be permitted to monopolist* a place not intended for them and to the danger of others. I understand the matter has been placed before the chief of police and I hope it will lie stopped. The promenade is growing in favour as an "air breather" and it is not right that the pleasure of the many should be upset by the selfish wheeler.—I am yours truly,
At a quarter to ten this morning, Sir Eldon Gorst, who arrived from Cairo yesterday evening accounted by Mr. Ronald Graham and Mr. Gaisford, left the British British Consulate" on his way to Has el 'Pin'palace, to receive his official recognition by the Khedive as Diplomatic-Agent and Consul-General of his Britannic Majesty in Egypt. Preceded by ah escort, of mounted police with drawn swords, Sir Eldon Gorst drove to the palace in the Khedival state coach in company with Zeki Pasha. First Master of Ceremonies to the Khedive. Another body of Counted police followed and next came a second stage coach, in which were seated Mr. Gould, H.B.I. Consul at Alexandria, Mr. Graham and Mr. Gaisford. The procession, which was a most impressive sight, was viewed by large crowds collected in the streets, and the natives appeared esjieci-ally impressed by it. In the square of Ras-el-Tin Palace a Guard of Honour of 100 men of the 4th Battalion with the. colour and the hand were drawn up to render military honours to the British Minister Plenipotentiary. After being received by the Khedive, who was surrounded by his Ministers, Sir Eldon Gorst returned to the British Consulate, where he remained for some time with Mr. Gould, and he afterwards paid a visit to the Gouvcr- nornt, where lie was received by Mustnphn Pasha Ibadi. A salute of eleven guns was fired from ICaid Bey fort on the reception of Sir Eldon by the Khedive. It is interesting to note that of the Council of Ministers which, with Khedive Tewfik Pasha, received Lord Cromer on the 29th September 1883 as British Consul General, only one member remains, Hussein Fakhry Pasha, Minister of Public Works. The Ministers on the occasion of Lord Cromer's reception were Shcrif Pasha. Khairy Pasha, Omar Pasha, Khairy Pasha, and Fakhry Pasha. On this occasion they were Mustapha Pasha Pehmy, Boutros Pasim Ghali, Alwtii Pasha, Ahmed Mazlontii Pasha, Fakhry Pasha, Ahmed Found Pasha, and Sand Zaglonl Pasha.
In the extracts from its columns of a hundred years ago, the "Times" last Friday published the following : It is with great satisfaction we announce the capture of this very important place. The Delight sloop of war arrived at Plymouth oil Thursday morning, from the Mediterranean, with the account, that his Majesty's forces which sailed from Sicily under convoy of the Tigre, ('apt. Hollowell, had taken possession of Alexandria. We are not certain of the present date : hut we believe the troops landed on the 19th of March. Some opposition was made by the Turks ; and we understand nine of Tigrc's crew were killed and wounded. There were a frigate, three sloops of war, and twenty merchantmen, in the port, in which were taken. The Delight had a remarkably qood passage. She was only 19 days between Alexandria and Plymouth. We have the pleasure to add, that at the date of the despatches a force was on the point of proceeding to take possession of Rosetta.
The Customs Administration's return for the last month are very satisfactory and the figures r last month and the totals for the first the months of the year show that the trade of Egypt is ever on the upward grade.

The total imports for the first four months the year amount in value to L.E. 8,398,992, t increase of L.E. I.42M49 on the figures r the same period in 190ti. The exports dur- g the same total L.E. 10,494.547, an increase of E. 1,623,138.
A meeting of the above company will held in Cairo on Monday next when the directors will submit to the shareholders the .port showing the number of shores allotted, id the amount of each received up to date respect of such shares, prejiamtory *to immencing building operations on the property purchased by the company at Ghezireh mu the Egyptian Hotels Company. It consists what was formerly known as the Harem and is a superficial area of abotff 10,000 square etres which were bought at the rate of £13 te metre. On this plot the company intends lildhig a number of four-storied buildings and shops. The Egyytian Hotels Co. granted , the Ghezireh Mansions Ltd. the sole right to eet shops as well us houses. The plans and itimates for the new buildings have been repared by Antoine Lasciac, the consulting, tgineer and architect of the company and the contractors for the work, we*will believe the Industrial Building and Commercial company of Egypt. During the past few days te former company has also acquired two lot of lands of about 2.4(H) square metres on le promenade road at Ghezireh, as well as the Villa Aliet of 2.0(H) metres near the grotto.
Mr. J. M. Robertson. Is the. Foreign Secretary aware that the excise duty of eight per cent, imposed upon the manufactures of the Egyptian Cotton Mills Company, Limited, a British company established in Egypt,, has ready absorbed one-eight of the company's capital, thereby practically destroying the industry, and that in consequence of the imposition of such duty the company are on the point of giving up business ; and whether, in order to save from forced liquidation one of the few industrial companies in Egypt, he will advise the Egyptian Government to abolish or reduce such, excise duty. ! Sir Edward Grey : The exercise duty has been in force for some years and corresponds to the import duty. It cannot be abolished or reduced without finding some other source of revenue and raising the whole question of fiscal policy and other difficulties of which we have had experience in connection with cotton duties in India. I am not anxious to see the Egyptian Government raise these questions nor to take the responsibility of suggesting new taxes to them.
Mr. J.M. Robertson. Asking whether, Egypt being a Moslem country and Friday being the day of rest according to the religion of Islam, it is competent to compel shops to close on Sunday ; whether a chief constable, accompanied by a staff of policemen, on the 3rd of February last forcibly compelled shops in Cairo to close on that day, and, if so, under the law or regulation such action was taken ; and whether State administrations, departments, and public offices, or any, and which of them are closed, and if so, during what hours and under wlmt regulations, on Sunday. Sir Edward Grey. I have no information on this subject nor am I aware of any reason for making enquiryabout it. (Opposition cheers and laughter.)
Mr. .1. M. Robertson. Asking whether the Egyptian Government, acting upon the advice of the British Agent and Consul General, or of its own accord, has refused to communicate to the Legislative Council some, and what, reports to the Ministers or Departments of State in spite of repeated requests addressed by the Council to the Government to have such reports laid before them ; and whether the Foreign Secretary will direct the British Agent and Consul General to advise the Egyptian Government henceforth to communicate all such reports to the said council, or, if not, will he state the reason for not doing so. ( Sir Edward Grey ) : I am not aware that there is any obligation to communicate such reports to the legislative Council. I will enquire whether the legislative Council have asked for papers and if so, for what paper. But there is no intention of interfering with the discretion of the Egyptian Government, o-s to what reports should le made public,—a discretion which it is necessary for everv Government to have.
The annual meeting of the British School of Archeology in Egypt was held at University College, London, to day week, when Professor Flinders Petrie gave an interesting description of the discoveries which have been made in the course of the present year. For more than a month, he said, he and his collaborators had been at work at Ghizeh, near the well known pyramids, and then for more than two months at a spot alxiutteight miles south of Assouan. The discoveries ranged over every age of Egyptian history. Tho site near Ghizeh was that on which the Egyptian officials some two or three years ago found a tomb of the First Dynasty. Their hopes of making fresh finds there and not been disappointed. In particular they hod found a largo circular tomb, probably that of some royal personage, not necessarily of a king. Most likely it was the tomb of a king's son. The period, which had been ascertained to a certainty, was that of the third king of tho First Dynasty. Here they unearthed portions of eighty stone vases and a number of small articles. One of these small articles was a bracelet, not mode of gold and turquoises, like the celebrated one found some years ago at Abydos, but of blue glaze, which allowed that royal ornaments were imitated in cheaper materials for the humbler members of the community. Another tomb contained thirty or forty stone vases of the Seond Dynasty, the largest group of that period ever brought to light. Ghizeh, the burial place for" Memphis, had hitherto been considered to have been founded by one of the Kings of the Fourth Dynasty, but as a result these researches it was found that it lmjFexisted from the time of the First Dynasty. Lantern slides of photographs of a number of interesting objects—limestone statues, domestic utensils, and so forth were shown on a screen. After.the lecture had been given Sir Robert Hensley presided over the annual business meeting of tho school. The account* showed that the receipts for the twelve months ending Oct. 31st last were close on £2,000, and that there was a substantial balance in the hands of the treasurer.
Mr. Wilfrid Stokes managing director of Messrs. Ransomes and Rapier Ld., is again in Cairo and lias just signed a contract with the Egyptian Government for the necessary alterations to tho lock gates and sluices involved by raising the Assouan Dam. We are not a little surprised to hear that notwithstanding the fact that, the level of water to be held up by the sluices is raised some 23 feet only very few of the sluice will require alteration and these only to a trifling extent.-It would seem therefore that the confidence placed in Messrs. Ransomes and Rapier by the Government has been amply justified and that their designs and workmanship compare most favourably with those of other undertakings carried nut by Continental firms. In the case of the lock gates the extra 23 feet of water to he dealt with necessitates rearranging the locks and two new gates 22 metres (72 feet 2. in) deep will have to be supplied. A fifth lock well lie built to the north of the present four, ami their side walls will lie raised and strengthened. An interesting feature of the work which will have to lie done consists in moving each of the prepent lock gates a distance of some 160 metres so as to fit them into the recesses formerly occuped by the smaller gates. When it is realized that, the two largest present gates are some 70 ft. high by 34 ft. wide and that they weigh nearly 100 tons each, while they will have to be not only turned round to travel but also first lifted and afterwards lowered about 16 feet, the difficulty of the operation will lie understood. As our readers will remember a question was recently asked in the House of Commons on the subject, of placing the masonry contract without open competition. We vent ure to predict however that no one knowing that the Assouan sluices and lock gates have worked without a hitch since they were first brought into use, and that they may now safely he relied upon to work against a head fully 50 % greater than they were purchased to stand will doubt that Messrs. Ransomes and Rapier Ltd. are well fitted to carry out the comparatively small amount of work which will now lie required, owing to the very liberal spirit in 'which the- original contract was executed by the same firm. We hear that the Esna ironwork contract placed by the Government with the same company lias now made a good start and that a large quantity of the material is now on the ground and is being erected under the (Election of the rising and popular engineer Mr. J. S. Perry who isagainactingforMessrs. Ransomes and Rapier in the conduct of their business in this country. English contractors having undertaken the work of raising the ban-age at Assouan, Mr. John Ward, a Labour M.P., in the interest of the class of .workers to whom he belonged, intends to ask Sir Edward Grey what number of Europeans (showing the proportion of British workmen as compared with other nationalities) was employed on the original great barrage, and whether a fair proportion of British navvies can now he employed on the prospective enlargement of the barrage.

The Egyptian Government lias begun to make arrangements for the construction of a post on the North Western Frontier of Egypt. The site chosen is at Sidi Barani, commonly called Bomba by the Bedouin inhabitants of that part of tho country. Sidi Barani is about seventy-five miles to the west of Mersa Matrouh and forty miles from the Ottoman , post at Solloum. There is a Bedouin encampment in the neighbourhood of Sidi Barani, but otherwise it "N quite uninhabited. There is no harbour there for ships, and it is merely an open roadstead with a very rocky foreshore. At the present time the most westerly fixed post of the Coastguard Administration is at*. Mersa Matrouh. A few coastguards are now stationed at Sidi Barani under tents. Barracks are to be built as soon as possible. The position of Sidi Barani is from every point, of view very inferior to Solloum. The latter place was occupied hy the Turks a few years Ago in spite of the protests of the Egyptian Government, who had always considered that it was within the Egyptian border. Solloum has an excellent hnrlxmr sheltered from S.W. N.W. and N. winds, but. open to N.E. and E. Sidi Barani appears to lie a good plnce for cultivation, and there is plenty of liarley now cultivated there.
A most important discovery has been made in the baths of Menas City and thermo. connected with the monastery of Saint Menas—a fine, old, Christian liasilica forming part of the baths. The basilica has three naves, the central nave having a breadth of 7.20 m ; its large apse with prothesis and diakonikon is well preserved. Up to the present five marble bases have been unearthed and fragments of columns, on one of which a Greek inscription to Menas is carved. A miniature column (30 cm) shows the sign of a cross in high relief, and also remains of dipinto inscriptions, pottery and marble pavement are found. Some of the bath appartments lie (and this is a most interesting fact for the "ancient Lourdes") directly in the southern nave of the basilica and all others communicate with the church by waiting rooms and corridors.
Yesterday the Mixed Court of Appeal pronounced judgment in the case of the heirs of the late Mog Pasha v. the Egyptian Governmjnt whereby the heirs were nonsuited. A judgment of the Cairo Civil Court had granted L.E. 10,300 as indemnity to the heirs, but yesterday's judgment set this aside. On the day that it was decided to dispense with the services of Mog Pasha as Commissioner of the Public Debt, that official arrived at Alexandria in a bad state of health and sent a telegram to the Commissioners at Ciliro asking to be retired. Ho died two days afterwa'rds. Ho therefore had a right to a half pension under the Ismail law, but not to an indemnity, which is reserved only ior those officials, who lose their posts in consequence of the reorganisation of tho Caisse do la Dette While non-suiting the heirs the judgment of the cotfrt contains the following proviso: "donne acto au Gouvernement de ce qu'il tient a leur disposition la sorarae de L.E 3 et 333 mill., montant de deux jours de pension de retraite revenant k leur auteur; il lui donne acte aussi de ce qu'il res to disposA k payer k Mme Vve Mog Pacha, *1 titre gracieux, la somme de L.Eg. 2,900." This grant, which the Government offored solely to the widow, has been calculated at thereto of L.E. 100 per annum for the twenty nine yearakser vices of the Pasha.

NEW MANAGEMENT.
The Imperial Conference is closed. The Premier of Newfoundland, Sir K. Bond, moved t if the Imperial Government failed to support the Colonies in the parrying local statutes, or suspended and abro- gated same at the instance of a foreign Power its action would constitute a serious infringement of the autonomous rights of the Colonies. All the Premiers agreed with the spirit of the resolution (Renter)
Comments on the conclusion of the Colonial t'.inference generally express satisfaction that the Conference is given a definite place in the working of the Empire. (Renter)
The Rand strike is making little headway, a large proportion of the men having refused to join. (Later). Owing to the strike on the Rand the Volunteers at Pretoria have been ordered to be ready to mobilise at an hour's notice.
Prince Arthur of Connaught will represent King Edward at the Spanish christening. (R.)
The elections have been conducted for the first time on a lmsis of universal suffrage. A noteworthy feature is the successes of the Socialists and the defeat of Pan Germans. ( R.)
Of the 405 results known there are 57 Socialists, 59 Social Christians, 26 from the centre, 70 Nationalists, and 165 ballots.
Gains of the Socialists and defeats of the Germans, Czechs and Nationalists are general throughout the country. The social-democrats won 57 seats, and the anti-socialists or c-socialists 59 seats- (Reuter)
Signor Tittoni, speaking in the Chandler of Deputies, said that the meetings with Prince on Buelow atRapallo, and with King Edward u Gaeta, and King Victor Emmanuel's visit to Venice were mutually complimentary and presented a pacific, dignified, and thoroughly i.ynl policy on the part of Italy (Roller) ROME, May l5.

In order to give an idea of the commerce of Port Sudan, which has only existed as a port evon in the most elementary form for 11 months, it will be necessary to give some statistics of the trade of Suakin. For all information on these points I am indebted to the kindness of Captain Hayes Sadler, the Director of Sudan Customs. It is impossible, at this point, not to a say a word as to the work which has been achieved by this officor. Up to the end of 1905 there was no customs administration in the Sudan ; the Governor* of tire various provinces collected such duties ns they could. Under this system, in 1904, 12,948 were collected it an expenditure of 3,500/. ; and in 1905 the receipts, including 82,984/ collected on material for the Berber Railway and the Port Sudan harbour, amounted to 97,989L The cost of collection was 6.360/, consequently the real surplus was thus only 8,615/. A regular customs administration was established under Captain Sadler in 1906 ; the custom house in Port Sudan was opened in May, and the railway was completed, at nlxnit. the same timo. But although the railway was completed, the port accommodation had not yet been.liegun and immense material difficulties had to lie overcome, with an inadequate and inexperienced staff which was still only in process of formation. All these difficulties still sulwist, though every day tends to diminish them, and the clearance of goods is now effected smoothly and easily ; if there is occasionally some delay, the merclmnta admitted to me that it was only such as must lo expected while things arc still in such nn inchoate condition. Further, there is no provision for a statistical clerk, so that the following figures must be taken as approximately and not absolutely correct. The figures given for 1906 throughout (except where otherwise stated) refer only to the first 10 months, prior to October 31. The hulk of the goods imported to Suakin in 1906 were for private use, not for the Government, as heretofore, as the railway— the main cause of the Government imports— was practically completed in May. The principal items of import were ns follows. The first figures represent the total value in £ sterling and the second figures represent the im-ren.se or decrease in £ sterling over the figures for 1905. Petroleum 1,991, + *40. Direct importation from .lava Flour 13,655,—3,243 more was grown in the Sudan Rice 5,235, — 1,287.. Dhurra und maize 1,760, — 18,047. Liquors 4,554, — 4,435. Reduced number of Europeans Sugar 16,775, -f 7,946. Forwarded to Khartoum » Timber 7,906 -f 4,341. Coal 24,836, for Sudan railways. Cotton goods 50,860 + 397. Cement 7,018. Dates 2,23^ 1,860. Previsions 15,385 -J- 8.033 for Khartoum and Port Sudan. Tea 3,390 + 1,052. It should be here noted that tea drinking has greatly grown iu popularity among the natives of the Sudan. Spices 3,119. Onions 517 - 827. Tombac 3,100 + 1,055. Increase of coastguards ensured this passing through tho customs. Tobacco and cigarettes 3,377 — 4,918. The exports during the year 1906 were as follows. The first figures represent the total value in £ Sterling and the sooond figures represent the increase or decrease in £ Sterling over'the figure for 1905 :— Ghee, 4,498 — 4,300. Cattle plague in Kossala. Skins, 3,375 — 1,264. Cnttlo plague in Kassala. Cattle, 1,521. Sheep, 603 — 11,470 Cattle plague in Kassala. Gum, 44,575 + 41,091 Rod Sea Railway working. Cotton, unginned, 22,336. Local gin ineffective. Cotton, ginned, 20,112 -p 1,207. Tokar trade inereasing. Cotton seed, 2,834 — 2,164. Mother-of-pearl, 1,580—2,187. Restrictions were placed by Government on taking small shells. Wheat, 90. Senna, 3,305. The largo gum export is most noteworthy in these figures. With regard to the cotton seed, it appears that the growers cannot be induced to change their seed and plant a better quality. I am informed that tlm accounts in great part for the indifference of the staple. The decrease in oxport of seed is attributed to the intention to plant larger quantities for 1907. The total trade returns for Suakin were :— The imports and exports during tho years 1905-06 were as follows :—- Imports— Government, 1905 no account -kept, 1906 £138,$00. Private, 1905 £194,414, 1906 £185,687. Total-1905, 194,414, 1906 £324,187. Exports 1905 £65,450, 1906 113,315. Shipping at Suakin. From January 1 to October 31, 1906, 123 steamers of 114,895 tons net register called and landed 456,607 packages and 20,095 tons of coal. Of these, 21 came direct from Europe, bringing principally railway material, 2 came from Alexandria, bringing transhipments of sugar (Austria- Hungary) and timber (Sweden). Thoxemaining 100 ships, with 264,405 packages, came front Suez with transhipped cargoes. The total imports to Port Sudan for tho first 10 months of 1906 were :— For private use, value £208,000; for Government use, value £104,384 ; tho total value being £312,384. The exports amounted to 40,642/. The principal items of import were :— Tea, 4,1 57, United Kingdom (via Egypt), 711/.; Ceylon, 1,312/.'; Aden and India, 2,134/. Gunny bags £2,676. Spices, £913, France, 329/. ; Egypt, 573/. Dhurra and maize, £315, Egypt. Sugar (9 months), £8,760, Egypt, 6,326/.; Austria-Hungary,* 1,947/. Cement, £18,371. United Kingdom, 12,500/.

Cotton manufactures, (9 months), £2,020 Liquors (10 months), 10,846, Uuited Kingdom, 1,020/.; Egypt, 2,129/.; France, 552/.; Italy and Erithrea, 691/. Hice, £501.

It should be noted that tho goods coming from Egypt are not all of Egyptian origin. There is no fiscal barrier between Egypt and the Sudan, and articles which have paid duty in Egypt are admitted free into the Sudan (under "Ilmukhaber"). The above figures give all such goods under the heading of Egypt. One result of this system is to give a material ad vantage to the import of Egyptian sugar.
The Money Market.
It was hardly expected that the directors of the Bank of England, at their meeting yesterday, would further reduce the officinl minimum, although, in some quarters, the wish was father to the thought that they would do so. In deciding to retain the rate at 4 per cent, for a little time longer, they were undoubtedly following the policy of caution which has been so well justified in the past, and, in view of the number of large new issues now being floated, and which -are absorbing, and must continue to absorb, a large amount of money, their decision meets with approval - in the best circles. The continuance of ease in the money market, however, will it is believed, render a reductioh possible as soon ds the flush of new issues Hhows signs of abatement There has been an abundant supply of cash throughout the week, although yesterday market supplies of credit were slightly affected by the maturity of hills held by the Bank, and this had the result of causing rates to improve somewhat. Day to day accommodation was obtained at 1 $ to 2 per cent and three months' bills at 3 per cent, The Bank rotnm this week shows an addition of £35,000 to the reserve, bringing tho total to £25,077,000, which compares with £21,892,000 a year ago. This increase is due to the large influx of gold, the not amount received from abroad being £610,000. The stock of bullion is, however, lower by £172,000, but the note circulation has contracted by £207,000. The proportion of reserve to liabilities j«-l$ per cent higher on the week at par cent as against last year's proportion! of 38 j per cent A*. jp The Stook Market*. lit these days of telegraphic coifimunication with a very part of the world, the labour strikes which seem inevitable always supply a certain number of disturbing elements to the stock markets, which are too frequently exaggerated. Like the neurotic person who is apt to imagine that he is the victim of all sorts of troubles, which in reality are but the creations of his own disordered imagination, the Stock Exchange, in its present languishing condition, becomes a ready recipient of adverse rumours which in a more prosperous period would be laughed to scorn. As a matter of fact although it must be admitted that labour strikes cause a good deal of inconvenience, this is mostly local, and, at the present, at any rate, there is no serious cause for concern. The political situation is quiet, and it is not anticipated that the native rising in Italia is likely to ho prolonged, the Government having acted with admirable promptitude in taking steps to deal with the instigators of the movement As regards South Africa, the future prosperity of which country depends almost entirely upon the mining industry, the prospects are now much more hopeful. General Botha, the Premier, showed in his address to the representatives of the industry who waited upon hint yesterday, that he fully appreciated the present financial depression in the Transvaal, and although it was obviously impossible for him to make any statement calculated to commit his Government, he made it fairly clear that he recognised the absolute necessity of adequate provision being made in the matter of labour for the mjnes. The outlook for investment business is, therefore, anything but unfavourable—that is, providing the public can lie induced to display a little more interest in the Stock Exchange. During the past week markets have been quite devoid of excitement, and business has been on the smallest possible scale. Yesterday in one or two sections there was some slightim- provement, hut in the main idleness predominates. Coneola, The gilt-edged market is still largely influenced by the new issues which are being brought forward, and quotations have again followed a downward course. Consols at 86j^ for the account show a loss on the week of fa, the price haring dropped fa to-day. Foreign Bonds. ' The announcement that negotiations are now proceeding with a view to the arrangement of a treaty between France and Japan lias been received with much (Satisfaction in the international section, and the potentialities of such an understanding as regards the maintenance of peace in the Pacific are fully appreciated. The news has caused a steady demand for Japanese issues, which show a good advance in prices. The New Fours are now quoted 87j{ and the Four-and-lmlf-per cents. 95$ and 95] respectively. Russian bonds have also kept firm for the the greater part of the week, hut are easier to-day, the Fives having declined j to'75$, and the Fours J to 84 J x.d. Home Railm. Home railway shares continue to languish for lack of supi>ort, and excellent traffic and trade returns are quite jtowerless to impart any degree of interest to this market With but one or two exceptions the movements of prices have been to lower levels. Each of the ten main lines this week reported increases of traffics which varied from £300 in the case of Hull and Barnsley to £11,400 in that of the Great Western line. The London nnd North Western followed up last week's gain of £5000 with another of £9,000. To-day home rails have been weak in sympathy with consols. Americana. Our remarks with regard to English railway shares may he very accurately applied to American stocks and shares. There appears to be absolutely no interest in these shares, and with the exception of one or two temporary periods of activity, dullness has been the prevailing feature. Yesterday the market was-helpless until the evening, when there was some show of activity on a rumour of some new development in connection with the Union Pacific, but the improved tone was not long maintained, and the market again relapsed into a condition of idleness. Unions at 150 showed a loss of § on the day, and Southern Railway declined J to 21 j. New York Central and Illinois ^Central were each 1 dollar lower, at 117$ and 150 respectively. Americans are lower again to-day, under the lead of Unions, which have shed 2$. Reading and Aitchison show declines of 1$ and If. Egyptiana. It is with pleasure we note the very definite assurance given by the Prime Minister, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, in his speech at Manchester last night that the policy so ably pursued by Lord Cromer iu Egypt— which policy was so warmly eulogised by the Premier—will be continued by his predecessor. Among intelligent people there was no sort of doubt that this would be the case, but this further emphatic announcement of the Governments'intentions should effectively dispose of tho ridiculous statements made by irresponsible journalists in Egypt that, with the introduction of a new regime, the Liberals intended to institute a change of policy in regard to Egyptian affairs. The murket for Egyptian shares here has been quite optimistic this week, and the improvement noticeable towards the end of last week has l>een fairly well maintained. There has been quite a good business done in bank shares, although other stocks have been quiet National Banks have been very active, riding from 23$ to 24f, but yesterday they slumped away to 23f, recovering slightly at the close to 28f.
