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.

Writing in the "Nineteenth Century and After" on Britain's task in Egypt, Sir Walter Mieville, K.C.M.G., says:
"It is difficult to treat the aims and demands of the Nationalist party with seriousness. The image will protrude itself of a child wishing to run before it can barely toddle, or of the same infant crying for some pretty fruit before it is ripe. For without, the plain fact is that the members of the Nationalist party are not yet ripe for the responsibilities and cares of self-government. I do not mean that there are not clever men in Egypt, for indeed I have the honour of knowing intimately many Egyptian gentlemen of marked intelligence and ability. But they are nearly all ministers or ex-ministers and are too wise to think that Egypt is able at present to walk alone. The National party does not represent the Nation. Their demands, when not for reforms already contemplated by the Government though postponed owing to financial or other considerations, verge either on the extravagant or on the absurd. For instance, they ask for the creation of an Egyptian Parliament, though obviously to grant such a demand at present would be tantamount to handing over the country once again to anarchy. The existing Egyptian General Assembly, which meets once every two years, has just held a Session which lasted but four days, during which short time, and with practically no discussion worthy of the name, eighty-five proposals were considered, and of these fifty-four were hurriedly passed. Reporters were not present, but it soon leaked out that the proceedings were scarcely orderly. The one bright record of this curious Session is the patient reasoning of the Minister of Education on the question of using Arabic as the sole medium of teaching in the schools. Are these men fit to manage the affairs of the Nation? And yet the bulk of them would presumably be members of the wished-for Parliament.
"Another of the Nationalist demands, formulated but three months ago, is quaintly naïve. They asked for the formation of Chambers of Commerce - "such as is the rule in all European countries"--to fix the price of necessaries,' being apparently blissfully unaware that prices are governed by the law of supply and demand. If Egypt really wishes to have its own Constitution it must gain its liberation by means of intellectual progress. For the time being the demand for a Parliament seems futile as well as premature. It will be time enough to seriously consider this grave question when really representative Egyptians--and not a noisy faction--present a reasoned petition for extended powers of self-government. Doubtless some of the ringleaders, men of little weight for the most part, of the Egyptian maleontents of to-day are so imbued with extravagant ideas that to gain them over to a more reasonable attitude will require that patience 'which is the rope of advancement in all lines of life": but a sympathetic attitude towards the rank and file of their followers should quickly induce these last to cease from kicking against the pricks, and to loyally accept the fact which dominates the situation, namely that, in the words of Lord Cromer, the British Government have no intention of exercising the discretionary power vested in them of withdrawing the British garrison from Egypt. Not unfrequently is it a hard thing to gain the confidence and sympathy of even those who live as we live, who think as we think, but the difficulty is greater far when we are dealing with peoples whose ways are not as our ways, whose thoughts are not as our thoughts. Yet the attempt is well worth making in the certain hope of assisting in Britain's task in Egypt.

In honour of Professor ''trombetta's nomination as an honorary member of the Italian Philodramatic Society a dinner was given at the Kasr-el-Nil terrace restaurant on Thursday evening last by the society, at which Prof. Trombetta, the well-known author and poet, many distinguished ladies, the representatives of the Press, several notables of the Italian colony and members of the society assisted. At the table, which was most tastefully decorated, sat down some eighty persons. An eloquent speech was delivered by the president, Signor Baroni, which he concluded by handing an artistic diploma to the professor. Other speeches were made by Signori Tartagni, Brandani, Faccio and Zona. Prof. Trombetta with his customary eloquençe returned thanks and proposed a toast to the prosperity of the society, which, for the past 13 years, has maintained a high standard of art, and which has always readily assisted at any benevolent performance organised by the charitable societies of Cairo.

Members of the Khedivial Sporting Club can now dine at Ghezireh at the Club house. In the hot weather this should prove a great boon to many. Bridge tables are provided and bands will attend on occasions. Arrangements for a motor car holding 8 or 9 people to run between the Turf and Sporting Clubs at stated hours have been made. A representative mess committee has been formed and every effort is being made to make the scheme a success.
It is to be hoped that members of the K.S.C. will give this innovation the support it deserves.

London, Friday. The Paris Correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says that no importance is attached there to the demand of the Egyptian native newspaper that the time has come for England to substitute a Protectorate for the Occupation, The journal in question is insufficiently influential to carry any weight and the sentiment which it expresses is it not supposed to be derived by inspiration from outside quarters, The correspondent learns that there is abso lutely no hint at the subject of the substitution of a Protectorate received from London in Paris, where, moreover, such a contingency never formed a topic for official speculation. In short there is no sign whatever of any contemplated change in England's policy towards Egypt. The Berlin Correspondent wires that German official opinion is represented by Bismarck's remark that "we are English in Egypt." This is borne out by the generous tribute to Lord Cromer's work made to the British journalists last week by the German Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, who said in what a positively amazing manner Lord Cromer had contrived to rouse Egypt into new life and energy.

Our Cairo Correspondent writes :
The recent strike of cab drivers, which occasioned so much inconvenience in Cairo, is, it seems, indirectly responsible for unending disturbances and petty annoyances, inasmuch as they have by their action unwittingly established a precedent, and their lead has been followed by every description of artisan or labourer, both European and native, who evidently are under the impression that simply to refuse to continue their usual duties will perform miracles, in the way of increasing salaries, diminishing work, etc., etc. Daily, one hears of some fresh disturbance among employés, who up to the present time have been perfectly contented with their conditions. One day, we wake up to find the streets crowded with bands of ruffianly silk-weavers, who parade the town, and molest innocent pedestrians, or damage valuable property; then, again, it is printers, who forcibly demonstrate their grievances to uninterested passers-by. So the idea has spread, affecting every kind of trade. To-day we are threatened by a strike of bakers.
Of course, one is quite familiar with this means of airing one's grievances, but, happily, up to a comparatively short time ago, this method has been confined to other countries and Egypt has been marvellously free from such demonstrations. Theoretically, many of us agree that the benefits to be derived from this 'modus operandi' are enormous, in the case of certain downtrodden sections of our labouring community, and that the establishment of trade unions had an undoubtedly economic and moral effect in suppressing 'sweating and in generally strengthening the workman's position ; bnt, practically, we realise the disadvantages and frequent injustice of such methods.
However, it is futile to try to alter the circumstances in which every employer, Government official or company director to-day finds himself, by the employment of mere words, and, as for actions, one is at a loss for any practical suggestion, therefore, we can only patiently wait and hope that, after all, we shall not be obliged to go breadless to bed.

(FROM OUR BEYROUT CORRESPONDENT).
The "Levant Herald" announced some time ago that the Turkish authorities have decided to make a harbour at Haiffa, and that Herr Meissner the German chief engineer of the Hedjaz line has received instructions to begin work there at once. This contemporary added that this harbour was to be four times as large as that of Beyrout. Several months have passed since this important announcement and still there is no sign of a movement towards the realization of this project. The fact of the matter is that his Majesty, realizing the necessity of endowing with a sheltered harbour the terminus of the greatest railway line of the Empire, did issue sulci orders to Meissner Pasha, but the latter has after careful study, found out that existing funds did not justify the carrying out of a project of such magnitude simultaneously with the construction works on the Grand Line. Herr Meissner seems to be confident that Medina will be reached within eighteen months. Much will depend upon the amount of resistance that can be exercised by the Arabs in the holy region, not only on religious but also on financial grounds, for it is not conceivable that the old pilgrim route which is such a lucrative source of profit to them will be relinquished without a protest of some kind. Aside from the profits realized on the journey fares of the great caravans, the Arabs come sometimes across unexpected little fortunes, in the shape of jewels and money found on the persons or in the baggage of more or less wealthy pilgrims that die on the way. But the intelligent and tactful Sultan may find an easier solution than armed opposition, by granting a permanent indemnity to the Arabs that have so far had the practical monopoly of the pilgrim trade, and thus secure a quiescent attitude on their part. All that there is at present at Haiffa is a stone jetty, eighteen meters wide and four hundred and twenty meters long. On this jetty are installed three hydraulic winches for lifting heavy loads such as locomotive boilers, frames etc. These winches have a lifting capacity of 18, 15 and 12 tons respectively. The discharging of the railway material has still to be affected into lighters, as the harbour is not dredged so as to allow ships coming alongside the jetty. Besides there is no masonry work on the said jetty and not sufficient shelter from the winds. It is proposed however to extend the present jetty to a length of about 800 meters and to build a sort of a curve at the end thereof, which would afford sufficient protection to lighters and smaller craft, and enable them to work even during heavy weather. Such preliminary works should have been made long ago in view of the enormous quantities of railway material and coal that have been, and are yet to be discharged at Haiffa.
The total shipments of coal and fuel this year will it is estimated amount to 25/30,000 tons partly Lancashire and partly Welsh. The British steamer Ethelburga has discharged already a full cargo a few weeks ago and the S.S. Blacktor is discharging another full cargo at Haiffa while the Prince Line steamers have discharged a few thousand tons of Lancashire fuel already, in lots of 4/800 tons. 12/15000 tons out of the above total of 25/30,000 tons, already closed, have been fixed with the well-known coal merchants, Messrs. Watts Watts & Co, and the balance with the Anglo-Syrian Trading Company Ltd. of Manchester, so that this coal supply to the Hejaaz line is practically an English monopoly. The Germans had at one time tried to wedge themselves in by supplying Westphalian coal, but for various reasons, that may be conjectured, they did not succeed.
As regards railway material a contract of 14,000 tons of railway sleepers has been closed for shipments in lots of 1400 tons, till the end of May ultimo. A further contract of 5,000 tons, sleepers and 20,000 tons, rails, as well as twelve locomotives, has been closed for the year 1907. For the year 1908 fifty locomotives and 150 wagons are said to have been ordered already. The hydraulic lime sapply for the year is estimated to be 20,000 tons. The rails and sleepers are chiefly supplied by Belgian manufacturers from Antwerp by the steamers of the Conference Lines composed of two British, one German and one Belgian. On the other hand, most of the locomotives have been ordered at German firms, and shipped by the Atlas steamers from Bremen and Rotterdam. Occasional orders of locomotives come from France, through Dunkirk by the Prince Line steamers that have recently inaugurated this new service. The hydraulic lime comes mostly from France by the Messageries in small lots by the regular postal steamers, and in full and part cargoes by their cargo boats.
These enormous quantities involve a shipping movement at Caiffa that more
than justifies the construction of a regular harbour, or at least such
preliminary works as may partly enable ships to discharge in heavy weather.
The freight competition, however, has been such, a few years ago, that
owners were eager to get the contracts regardless of the risks of detention
at such an exposed roadstead as Haiffa. But most of those owners had to rue
the bargains made at the start, without any provision for demurrage, and it
was not long before a disastrous experience opened their eyes, when
demurrage clauses were subsequently stipulated in the charters. It was then
that the Hedjaaz railway, after paying a few vexatious indemnities, realized
the necessity of improving the means of discharge by the int. stallation of
proper hoisting apparatus, an adequate supply of large lighters, and last
but not least the building of such harbour works as may overcome, at least
in part, the difficulties
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents, but we wish, in s spirit of fair play to all, to permit - within certain necessary limits - free discussion.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "BGYPTIAN GAZETTE"
Sir, Is nothing to be done in regard to this matter? Financial depression, and the summer exodus of residents may be reasons. Lukewarmness towards the Tuberculose Asile, and lack of energy on the part of the International Committee are contributing factors. The duty of committees goes beyond securing for members, platform seats to hear a historical speech, and many people would be glad to have an authoritative explanation of the position.
Yours truly,
Britisher.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EGYPTIAN GAZETTE."
Those residents at Camp de Caesar have had their grievance satisfied to a certain extent, and in so doing have somewhat ameliorated the very isolated condition of Sporting Club residents. Under the latest order person wishing to get from Sporting Club to İbrahimieh or Camp de Caesar had to walk, now, however, since the Caesar Camp agitation, he may get down at Camp de Caesar and walk back.
Under the old arrangement two out of three trams stopped at Sporting Club, now only one in three. It is decidedly anomalous, and a great injustice, that anyone can stop a car at Mazaretah, or Chatby, which, though not proper stations, provide passengers from these points with a perfect tram service, while residents at Sporting Club and Club Members have often to suffer very great inconvenience and delay. If the number of passengers to and from that station be so few as not to justify more frequent stoppages, let them have the same privilege as those from Mazaretah and Chatby.
A correspondent writes :
The impression prevailing that rents have fallen lately, or that there is a likelihood to be a fall in those now charged in the best residential quarters of the Capital, is not borne out by facts for most of the apartments of the huge constructions now being erected or approaching completion are be-spoken beforehand, and it is with the utmost difficulty that, even now, fair sized flats are procurable at anything like a moderate price, and still more so in the winter. Not until building operations in Ghezireh, Kasr-el-Aly, Ghizeh and the Heliopolis Oasis are more advanced and the supply is likely to meet the demand, in consequence of the constant and steady increase in the European and better class native population of the city, are rentals likely to find a proper level and cease rising, but that cannot be for a couple of years or so at least. As an instance of the still increasing rates asked we may mention that of the Standard Life Building in the Rond Point Soliman Pasha which lately changed ownership. Here the offices of the Insurance Company are to be enlarged and let to a bank at £2,000 a year which means nearly double of the present rentals of the offices and two adjacent apartments. Most, it not all, of the newly formed local banks are compelled to build their own premises ; for they cannot find any suitable in the business quarters.
In the report of the C.M.S. in Egypt, in reference to the missionary hospital at Old Cairo, we read :
With regard to the men's hospital, dispensary, and wards for the treatment of Egyptian anaemia, the attendance and work have increased in really quite an embarrassing fashion. The men's hospital, even after being vacated by the women, became quite full--in addition to the overflow ward of temporary structure; the dispensary work became so heavy that we have had to double the staff of native doctors; and the anæmia wards are altogether too contracted for our needs. Our most keenly felt |(temporal) need is more space more land. As we have said, the anaemia patients are crowded out. And we have, for absolute lack of funds, been unable to buy a strip of land contiguous with one whole side of the compound, which is now vacant, and the building up of which would mean darkening the new women's hospital, blocking its view, overlooking, it, and taking away its north air-a serious prospect. May it not be that some who read these lines may feel led to come to the rescue here ! | The work is self-supporting, and yet the fees charged are of acknowledged reasonableness, and of course, no really poor person is turned away because of his inability to pay them. That is one side of the work. As to the many difficult and perplexing moral and spiritual problems which face us in prosecuting this work, we can only tell our friends that they are ever with us, and ask their prayers in regard to them.
Count M. de Zogheb has given £1,000 to the Italian Benevolent Society for the addition of a wing to the Italian hospital.
Lieutenant Colonel C. Hall, A.O.D., will go on leave on the 18th inst, and return to Egypt on October 30.
Major H.P. Hancock, R.I.F., has been granted six months leave at the recommendation of a medical board.
Yesterday was the first day of this important match, play commencing at 2 p.m. Both sides were well represented and a good game was expected. Cairo winning the toss elected to bat, but began badly Goschen being taken at point and Stout caught off his glove before double figures had been scored. Liddell and Burnham improved matters, though the latter made some rather rash strokes, and took the score to 42, when Burnham was caught. The best stand of the day followed. Liddell who was now well set, playing very free cricket, while Williams played a quiet game, though he never let off a ball that could be placed away on the leg side. H. B. Carver and Aubrey bowled instead of Prosser and Mustard but failed to part the batsmen. Finally Hastings took the ball at the tennis court end and after his first delivery had been hit for four by Liddell who thereby reached his fifty, cleaned bowled that player, who had shown finecricket, scoring 8 fours. Crake was bowled in the same over and at 134 Mustard going on again dismissed McMurdo with a fine ball. Sanderson was obliged to retire temporarily and at 146 Mustard got through the defence of Williams who had played well for 46. He had hit a 6 and eight fours and played good cricket throughout scoring especially well on the by side. At the end Bury made some unexpected stokes behind the wicket and the total reached 171 Mustard bowled well, though without the best of luck, and Hastings was very steady. Prosser was far too short to be dangerous except to life and limb.
The Alexandria XI. gave rather a disappointing display. Four wickets fell for 25, Prosser alone being able to make anything of the bowling. Hastings aided him to add 27 but 9 wickets fell for 79. Peel and Dawson then hit out and added 22 for the last wicket by forcing the game for the first time in the innings. Burnham and Graves took nine wickets between them for Cairo, the former taking 4 for 50, the latter 5 for 35. Play will be continued at 2 p.m. to-day. Cairo commencing their 2nd innings with a lead of 70 rums.
Dr. H. W. O. McLeod, B.Sc., M.D., in a recent paper on the subject of sleeping sickness, reported by the Journal of the Society of Arts", states that it is only too possible the disease may invade Egypt and India. The British Government, he says, has not taken very active steps in the matter questions have been asked in Parliament, and it was stated in November last that two medical officers were to be sent to British Central Africa to study local conditions and to suggest preventive measures, and they were expected to to arrive there by January of this year. It has been suggested that game preserves in Africa might spread infection, but the Commissioner of the British Central African Protectorate and of North-East Rhodesia reported that no such evidence was forthcoming.
The Germans are closely watching the Uganda border to prevent the extension of the disease into their possessions. Epidemies are not abating, but, on the contrary, are invading new districts. It is of the greatest importance for the British Government to take the lead, as it has the largest interests at stake, and it is a dangerous policy to act on the motto Festina lente' 1
Dr. A F. R. Wollaston, who has returned from a journey through Central Africa, travelled through the Manyuema country, and found a region devastated by the terrible sleeping sickness. He describes the sights as being fearful, with people dead and dying on the roadside. Almost every vil. lage presented a revolting spectacle, as it is the custom of these people to turn out stricken natives to die. In this country the population are dying by thousands absolutely without any medical attention. In Uganda alone over a quarter of a million have succumbed to sleeping sickness since it broke Tout a few years ago.

Ici, la tendance générale est toujours à la baisse, déterminée d'un côté par la mauvaise allure des places dirigeantes d'Occident, d'au. tre côté par l'inactivité, ainsi que par des ventes ou des liquidations forcées. La bonne tenue du coton paraît être impuissante à réagir contre cette dépression continue, ce qui est, d'ailleurs, naturel, étant donné que la spéculation se porte actuellement là-dessus plutôt que sur les titres. N'empêche que le marché des valeurs est appelé à bénéficier tôt ou tard de la hausse que les perspectives d'une très mauvaise récolte en Amérique déterminent sur le coton égyptien. Pour ce qui est du Syndicat, on n'en parle plus, en corbeille, que pour mettre en doute son existence, ce qui est excessif. Les plus réservés se bornent à se montrer extrêmement sceptiques au sujet de son action immédiate. Toutefois, dans les milieux moins impressionnables et mieux renseignés, on affirme plus que jamais que le consortium vient de fixer les valeurs qu'il se propose de soutenir, ainsi que leurs prix d'achat. On ajoute discrètement qu'il commencera, ses opérations dès lundi prochain.

Du rapport présenté à l'assemblée générale ordinaire de la Compagnie du Canal de Suez, tenue le 4 Juin courant à Paris, il ressort que les recettes totales de l'exercice 1906 ont présenté une diminution de Frs 5,319,073 sur celles de l'exercice précédent, ce qui doit être attribué à la détaxe appliquée à partir du 1er Janvier. On supputait que cette détaxe entraînerait une diminution d'environ 10 millions de francs ; or, la moins-value est restée, comme on voit, inférieure à 6 millions ; le surplus a été couvert par l'augmentation de trafic.
Afin de parfaire la somme nécessaire pour assurer aux actions un dividende net de 141 francs, équivalant à celui de 1905, il a été prélevé une somme de Frs. 3,800,000 sur la réserve extraordinaire constituée à l'aide des bénéfices des deux derniers exercices.

The remarkable reclamation scheme in progress at Kom Ombo, Upper Egypt, illustrates as much in its differences as in its points of similarity the practice of the many similar enterprises which are transforming the country. The great majority of these are in the Delta, the triangular region contained in the figure whose apex is Cairo and whose bases are Alexandria and Port Said. It is important to realize that this for some time to come must be..even more than at present the seat of important engineering and agricultural activity. The Government's decision, made known on the late Sir Benjamin Baker's pronouncement for the raising of the Assuan dam, leaves no doubt that to the Delta will be applied the whole of the increased volume of water which about two years hence will begin to become available and augment in increasing ratio until the maximum surplus expected from the dam is reached with the completion of the work of super elevation. New enterprises in Upper Egypt are therefore bound to be at a disadvantage as compared with Lower Egypt I for some few years, except in so far as provided for by the new Esneh barrage, water being the arbiter of engineering destinies and all others in this country. The development of Kom Ombo is, however, of sufficiently long standing to be independent of these considerations. The distinctive peculiarity of Kom Ombo, apart from its remote situation in Upper Egypt, 40 miles north of Assuan, consists in the fact that the plain, or "wadi," lies at about 23 mètres above Nile level. Reclamation has, therefore, to be carried out partly by a reversal of the methods usual in Lower Egypt, where the land lies low as compared with the Nile, and where, therefore, systems of drainage are the necessary components of canalization. The general principles underlying the operations are, however, essentially the same as on the Delta fields of reclamation.
Work at Kom Ombo commenced towards 1903 by the laying of a branch line from
the Government railway to the river for the convey. ance of material. Though
the preliminary difficulties in starting the works were great as regards
both labour, climatic conditions, and manufactured material, such materials
as lime, bricks, stone, and sand were found or made on the spot. During the
erection of the pumps and workshops at the Nile-carried out entireTy by
manual labour, a feat that speaks volumes for the Arab "reises," or foremen,
who had crankshafts weighing 13 tons to handle surveys were taken over the
plain and the chief irrigation scheme was drawn up. The main pumping station
is wholly constructed of reinforced concrete. The engines are carried on
concrete blocks, the condensers, clearance pumps, and steam traps being
placed on the basement. Though the pumps stand at a level of 86.60, high
Nile has been known to reach R.L. 90-60, and the pumps are submerged for a
great part of the year. It follows that a heavy upward water pressure is
exerted on the floor of the pumping station. The engines are of horizontal
direct-acting triple-expansion condensing type, working at a pressure of 13
atmospheres superheated steam. The main pump is a turbine centrifugal pump
with side inlets and bottom discharge. The boilers, ten in number, are of
French Elephant" type, fitted with special grates for burning sugar cane
waste; they are also equipped with Green's economizers and superheaters. The
four boilers for the subsidiary pumps are water-tube, Babcock-Wilcox type,
and work under forced draught. The mains, which are painted inside and out
with siderosthen, ascend abruptly for the first 40 metres, rising gently for
the remaining 460 metres until they discharge into the reservoir. The
latter, constructed of armoured concrete, is of horseshoe shape, and Mr. A.
H Plummer, the superintending engineer of the whole of the reclamation
works, to whom the writer is indebted for the particulars recorded in this
account, considers that probably this shape has allowed the expansion and
contraction to operate so freely. The steel culvert, constructed on a sand
foundation to neutralise the swelling of the earth when moistened, commences
at the reservoir and continues for about 1,500 metres until the canal is
well established on the high level of the plain. Riveting was done by hand
and caulking by pneumatic tools; an attempt was made at pneumatic riveting,
but the Arab workmen, Mr. Plummer states, could never manage it
successfully. The same trouble, but in a more acute form, was experienced by
Messrs. Sir William Arrol and Co., in the building of Rodah bridge at Cairo.
The culvert as a whole is an interesting example of skilful methods applied
to counteract peculiar climatic conditions. One thousand two hundred
As soon as the land is ready for cultivation, ploughing is performed by steam ploughs and levelling machines, and, owing to the flatness of the country, good results are obtained. Threshing is also successfully done by steam. Reclamation so far has been effected on 12,000 acres, nearly all of which area is rented. Corn crops grow splendidly; cotton, after indifferent results two seasons ago, is expected to be a success this year. Sugar-cane has been most successful, and is proved to have taken no more, if not less, water than in middle Egypt, while it ripens more quickly at Kom Ombo. To attract population, villages built in stone have been placed at various points over the estate ; shops, with a market as well as stores, a mosque, and schools have been erected. With a free flow of water everywhere the people are prosperous and contented, and on account of of the steam pumping system of irrigation they are not forced to keep cattle for raising water. Light railways, of 12 kilo. rails and 60cm. gauge, are being put down all over the estate, and repairing shops and corn mills are already erected. A curious circumstance that taxed the resources of the superintending engineer was the swelling of the soil when water was applied to it. The whole "wadi" has risen from the effects of the water. The walls of the first buildings and regulators erected split in the majority of cases through the disturbance to their foundations, and the whole of the banks and bed level of the main canal required to be raised to suit the altered contours of the land.

Coton On aurait, certes, mauvaise grâce à venir contester ou à chercher d'amoindrir le succès des haussiers pendant la semaine qui vient de finir : les résultats obtenus par eux sont réels et d'autant plus satisfaisants qu'ils ont été obtenus malgré des circonstances contrariantes qui, à un moment donné, ont paru devoir tout gâter. Mais n'anticipons pas et procédons par ordre.
La séance de Samedi a ouvert ferme et quoique les cours n'aient pu se maintenir au plus haut niveau atteint dans la matinée, il n'en est pas moins vrai que la clôture a été bonne et en hausse sur la veille.
La journée de Lundi a encore été meilleure, car l'avance a été plus importante et sans aucune fluctuation violente et le cas a été le même pour le lendemain.
Au total, la hausse pour les trois jours s'est élevée à 13/32 pour l'ancienne récolte et à 5/16 pour la nouvelle, et le tout comme simple conséquence de la tenue de l'Américain et de l'importance des embarquements qui faisaient présager une semaine de beaucoup supérieure à tous les pronostics que l'on mettait en avant.
Jusques-là, tout allait pour le mieux et la tendance semblait des plus favorables, quand le fameux rapport du Bureau d'Agriculture de Washington, si anxieusement attendu, est venu tout désorganiser avec les chiffres qu'il énonçait et surtout avec les raisonnements et les appréciations auxquels il a donné lieu le premier jour et que les dépêches de New-York nous transmettaient. Sa publication a été saluée à New-York par 50 points de baisse, non tant à cause de son 70 1/2 comme condition de la plante, car, après tout, cette estimation correspondait à la moyenne des prévisions et était considérée par anticipation comme étant en rapport avec les prix régnants, qu'en raison de l'agréage de 32,100,000 acres.
Nous reviendrons plus loin sur ce dernier point, mais, en attendant, nous dirons que malgré la réduction de la baisse susmentionnée à une vingtaine de points seulement, l'effet de ce rapport sur notre marché a été désastreux pour ainsi dire, le fait étant que la matinée de Mercredi a été des plus mauvaises chez nous et que d'emblée, en une seule séance, nous avons perdu tout ce que nous avions gagné les trois jours précédents.
A la clôture les idées en général étaient très pessimistes, mais tout cela a disparu comme par enchantement aussitôt que de nouvelles dépêches de Liverpool sont venues nous dire qu'il fallait interpréter autrement le rapport du Bureau, qu'au fond il était haussier et le tout appuyé par une bonne tenue tant à Liverpool qu'à New-York. Il n'y avait certainement pas lieu de prendre au pied de la lettre tout ce que l'on nous prêchait, mais vraies, fausses ou entachées d'exagération, ces informations N'en ont pas moins influencé notre marché et, à un tel point, qu'en remplacement des 5/16 perdus la veille, nous avons eu hier une reprise de 5/8 de tallari. Il n'y a donc pas eu de temps perdu.
Ce matin, finalement, les choses avaient commencé à clocher de nouveau sur la baisse de New-York, mais la publication de la statistique de la semaine chez nous a modifié la première allure dans un sens favorable et en définitive c'est à peine si à la dernière heure on remarquait une différence en moins de 1/32 # 1/16 sur les prix affichés jeudi au tableau.
En d'autres termes, le Juillet a fini à 20 5/32 et le Novembre à 20 3/16, ce qui résume les fluctuations de la semaine en une hausse de
21/32 de tallari ponr la récolte actuelle et de · 19/32 pour la prochaine.
Maintenant, un point qu'on ne saurait, passer sous silence : la hausse d'hier a été fortement aidée par les rachats du découvert, et cette circonstance est d'autant plus heureuse que la réserve de la filature, qui avait commencé à se dessiner depuis Samedi, a persisté jusqu'après le rapport
On dit, il est vrai, que ce matin le commerce a acheté du Novembre, mais comme il a été remarqué que les mêmes courtiers, qui ont pris le Novembre, ont donné par contre du Juillet, il est à supposer qu'il ne s'est guère agi d'opérations pour l'Étranger, mais bien d'affaires locales et probablement d'arbitrages que l'on a défaits.
En tous cas, cela n'a pas grande importance pour le moment, car, d'autre part, on remarque que, dans l'ensemble, le Juillet a été plus recherché, que les positions sont plus légères et que selon toute apparence la liquidation de la vieille récolte a toutes les chances de s'accomplir dans des conditions beaucoup plus favorables aux détenteurs du Juillet qu'on ne le pensait et cela d'autant plus que les faibles ont eu l'occasion ces jours derniers de sortir de leur position à des prix inespérés pour eux.
Comme activité, il y a eu de l'intermittence ; mais en prenant les choses en bloc, les affaires ont quand même été assez nombreuses.
Pour revenir au rapport du Bureau d'Agriculture, nous dirons que les dernières dépêches disent que la comparaison, pour ce qui concerne l'étendue ensemencée, n'est pas à faire avec 28.686.000 acres, mais bien avec 32.049.000, qui est l'agréage révisé de l'année dernière. A moins que le Bureau même n'ait dit cela dans son rapport du 4 Courant, nous ne saurions trop dire ou l'on a été dénicher ce chiffre. D'autre parlent de dégâts irréparables. Contre ces assertions haussières, nous avons eu les conseils de prudence des inaisons conservatrices, qui considèrent le niveau atteint par les prix comme éminemment dangereux, tout en admettant cependant la possibilité du maintien des prix pour quelques jours de plus.
De toutes les façons, il y a deux points qui semblent incontestables ; ce
serait le fait que dans tout ce branle bas, la filature n'est pour rien et
que New-York est d'avis que le mouvement spéculatif a atteint son apogée, et
la preuve en est que les haussiers de la dite
Chez nous, au contraire, les avis sur la nouvelle récolte sont favorables, et sans nous arrêter au résumé de l'Alexandria General Produce Association du mois de Mai, que nos lecteurs trouveront reproduit ci-dessous, nous dirons que tout l'intérieur est unanime à admettre que la température actuelle est de nature à nous faire regagner le retard petit à petit, et que les vers continuent à briller par leur absence. On ne saurait souhaiter rien de mieux.
Notre marché du disponible a été peu actif, mais comme déjà dit précédemment; cela tient plutôt à la rareté de la marchandise disponible offerte à la vente. Autrement, la demande existerait, mais par la force des choses, notateurs se trouvent obligés de chercher dans les contrats ou dans leur propre stock ce dont ils peuvent avoir besoin.
Quant aux prix, la cote officielle de ce matin les établit à 5/8 de tallari au-dessus de la semaine passée, tant pour les Mit Afifi que pour les provenances Haute-Egypte, hansse
égale à celle des contrats à ce moment-là ; | il est toutefois de fait que les bonnes qualités ne sont nullement faciles à obtenir aux conditions susdites. Les Joannovich sont en hausse de 1/4 de tallari.
Les exportations de la semaine ont fini par dépasser l'attente presque générale avec leur total de 13.450 Balles, contre 4.900 Balles l'année dernière.
C'est beau, mais ce qui est plus satisfaisant encore, c'est que la semaine prochaine s'annonce déjà comme devant être très grosse, comparativement à l'année dernière : on parle déjà d'environ 10.000 Balles, contre 4000 en 1906.
Liverpool a été relativement propice aux cotons d'Egypte disponibles, et comme ventes et comme prix. Le cliché de 100 Balles par jour est changé, tandis que comme cotations, nous trouvons le spot en hausse de 1'8 au cours 10 7/16 et les futurs Juillet à 10 27/64, soit à 13/64 au-dessus de la semaine passée.
Les américains disponibles, par contre, sont | loin d'avoir été actifs, mais sous le rapport des prix il y a du mieux, même assez sensible, malgré la réaction survenue aujourd'hui. Le spot est à 7.44, suit 4 points de hausse, le Juillet Août à 6.81 et l'Octobre Novembre à 6.55, soit pour ces deux derniers respectivement 14 et 8 points de hausse.
Les arrivages ont été importants, mais, il n'en a pas été de même des exportations qui n'ont pas atteint le total de 5,000 Ardennes.
Dans ceci, cependant, il n'y a qu'un retard, les vapeurs affrétés n'étant pas
encore prêts à charger. La semaine prochaine done aura à nous fournir la
compensation voulue.
La faiblesse a prédominé pendant toute la semaine et la côte s'inscrit en baisse générale comparativement à celle de vendredi dernier. Aucun facteur de hausse ne s'est, en effet, manifesté; au contraire, l'Amérique a continué à fléchir, ainsi que Londres et Berlin. A Paris, également, c'est toujours l'indécision qui règne. Le taux officiel d'escompte se maintient partout invariable, 3 1/2 %a Paris, 4 à Londres et 5 1/2 à Berlin. Il n'y a que le taux privé d'escompte qui hausse en Angleterre de 3 1/2 à 3 5/8. Pendant ce temps le Consolidé anglais perd 3/4 de livre à 83 7/8, et l'Agricole 1/8 à 8 3/8, ainsi que la National Bank å 22 3/8. Quant à la proportion de la réserve aux engagements, elle se maintient invariable à 46 7/8%.
On comptait beaucoup ici sur le syndicat acheteur, qui s'est récemment créé,
pour arrêter immédiatement la baisse des valeurs. Cet excès de confiance,
après avoir ramené quelques capitalistes aux achats, n'a pas tardé à faire
place au découragement, quand on a remarqué l'absence de toute contrepartie
aux offres de vente toujours plus nombreuses. C'est que le syndicat n'avait
pas commencé ses opérations. C'est seulement, en effet, dans la séance qu'il
a tenue avant-hier soir que celui-ci a fixé les valeurs qu'ils achèteraient
et leur prix d'achat. Evi. demment il tiendra autant que possible ses ordres
secrets pour ne pas pousser les cours et rendre ainsi ses achats
désavantageux. Le syndicat, ayant pour but de ramener la confiance ébranlée
tout en faisant une bonne affaire, il suffira de son intervention discrète
et opportune pour faire disparaître tout le flottant, si celui-ci, comme on
l'assure, est peu considérable. Comme les valeurs choisies par lui figu-
En attendant, la baisse s'accentue sur toute la ligne. Nons nous contenterons de signaler les fluctuations les plus intéressantes, le lecteur pouvant consulter la cote pour les autres qui sont moins importantes. La National Bank perd 11/16 à 22 5 16, la Ramleh 1/4 à 5 1/8 ainsi que l'Alexandria Water à 12, les Fans du Caire 4 fr. les actions de capital à 114 et 25 frs, les actions de jouissance à 205, la Behera 1 livre 12 à 28 1/2, les Dividendes Bière du Caire 5, fr. à 110, les Lots tures 4 fr. à. 153, les Nungovieh Hotels 1/2 livre à 19, la Nile Land 1 livre à 20, l'Urbaine 1/4 à 5, ainsi que le Comptoir à 3 5/8,- la Building Lands 19/32 à 3 1/32, l'Aboukir 5 shellings à 32/-, ete.
Il est juste d'ajouter que nombre d'autres valeurs font preuve d'un soutien remarquable dans les circonstances actuelles. Quelques Unes même sont en hausse ; entre autres autres l'Anglo-Egyptian Allotment qui regagne 3/16 à 2 3/16 et la Port Said Salt 2 shellings à 15/9. La Banque d'Athènes, l'Union Foncière, le Banco di Roma, le Crédit Franco Égyptien sont très soutenus.
La hausse qui s'est produite sur les valeurs du sel, 1 shelling pour la Salt & Soda et 2 shillings pour la Port Said Salt' Association, est due à des rumeurs persistantes de fusion
entre les deux sociétés. Les titres de la Bourse and Banking Co. (Arditi) sont arrivés et sont actuellement sous signature.
Un télégramme particulier de Londres nous informait hier qu'après une faveur momentanée des valeurs égyptiennes sur cette place, de nombreux ordres de vente provenant d'Egypte avaient ramené les cours à un niveau si bas, qu'il avait enfin tenté les gros capitalistes. Cet ordre d'idées, à savoir que la baisse des titres égyptiens est pour la plupart d'entre eux injustifiée ou pour le moins exagérée, commence à prévaloir en Europe-où des syndicats sont, dit-on, en train de se former un peu partout pour ramasser aux cours avantageux actuels ce qu'il y a de meilleur parmi nos valeurs. Nous voulons croire que les capitalistes égyptiens ne se laisseront pas ravir d'entre les mains ce qui leur revient de droit.

Une assemblée générale extraordinaire de la Société des Eaux du Caire a été
tenue le 5 courant en vue de la création de 48,000 nouvelles actions de
jouissance, dont 30,000 seront émises incessamment. Cette émission, venant à
un moment oh le marché manque de disponibilités, a été imposée à la
compagnie par l'attitude intransigeante de la banque qui a réclamé Le
remboursement de ses avances atteignant le chiffre de 170,000 L.E. Les
actionnaires actuels auront seuls le droit de souscrire aux actions
nouvelles sur la base de 1 titre nouveau pour 11 anciens de capital ou de
jouissance ; ils pourront en outre souscrire un nombre sup. I plémentaire
d'actions pour le cas on l'abstention de quelques-uns en laisserait de
disponibles. Un syndicat s'est engagé à prendre tout ce qui ne sera pas
souscrit. L'émission aura lieu à 180 fr. dont 90 fr. à verser le 1er juillet
et le solde au ler janvier prochain. L'augmentation des actions de
jouissance dont le nombre va être porté de la sorte de 272,000 à 302,000
n'affectera pas le rendement de l'entreprise, puisque le dividende à
distribuer aux actions nouvelles viendra en déduction des intérêts que la
Compagnie aurait en à payer à la banque et que la différence qui restera
sera peu importante, si l'on considère surtout les augmentations normales de
recettes de l'année courante. et les bénéfices dont on pent se rendre compte
en lisant les publications de recettes mensuelles. Un dividende au moins
égal à celui du dernier exercice est d'ores et déjà acquis d'après ces
données, et cela en tenant compte de l'émission nouvelle. L'excédent des
dépenses de premier établissement sur les ressources y affectées était en
1897 de L.E. 47,584; au cours des 10 dernières années il a été dépensé pour
le même chef L.E. 255,859, soit en tont L.E. 303,443. Après déduction de la

reste un excédent des travaux sur les ressources de LE 92,548. La création
des nouvelles actions de jouissance permettra d'éteindre cet excédent, de
faire face à des travaux d'extension en cours et d'avoir un fonds de
roulement. Les dépenses entraînées par la construction des nouvelles usines
et l'extension du réseau sont une preuve de l'activité et de la prospérité
de la Société, comme cela ressort de la progression constante et rapide des

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--
VITAL STRENGTH & ENERGY
to throw off these morbid feelings, and experience proves that as night succeeds the day this may be more certainly secured by a course of the celebrated life-reviving tonic

THE EXPIRING LAMP OF LIFE LIGHTED UP AFRESH,
and a new existence imparted in place of what had so lately seemed worn-out, "used up," and valueless. 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.

is sold by the principal Chemists throughout the world. Price in England, 2 9 and 4/6. Purchasers should see that the word 'THERAPION' appears on British Government Stamp (in white letters on a red ground) affixed to every package by order of His Majesty's Hon. Commissioners, and without which it is a forgery.
