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.

We extract the following from the "New York Times." After the "Maker of Egypt" retired from the work to which he bad devoted half a lifetime, financiers began to wonder whether after all Egypt's prosperity was a stable thing. Certainly the change from poverty to affluence had been wrought with a rapidity entirely without precedent. And the world is slow to believe that a country whose Government was so recently bankrupt, and whose maladministration was a byword among nations, should so dramatically blossom forth as a well-ordered, law-abiding, and thoroughly solvent State.
Today Egypt's population is double that of the time of the Pharaohs, and more than five times more numerous than when the country was directly under Turkish control. The ancient State has indeed been regenerated, and the vast Nile flood controlled for irrigation purposes at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars.
All this is directly due to Earl Cromer, who recently handed over the reins to young Sir Eldon Gorst. All the world knows Cromer as the man of the iron hand and the velvet glove: an administrative Bismarck, who found Egypt in a welter and chaos of slavery, tyranny, and bankruptcy, and left it one of the freest, richest, and most flourishing nations in the world.
As Sir Evelyn Baring, Cromer earned the reputation of being a "hard" man. "Sir OverBearing," they called him in Cairo. His successor is no stranger in the land. Sir Eldon Gorst served his apprenticeship at Great Bri tain's Cairo Agency, and in 1890 was appoint Ted Director of Taxes to the Egyptian Government. He was successively Financial Under Secretary of State, Adviser to the Minister of the Interior, and Financial Adviser to the Government.
He has always been an intimate personal friend of Lord Cromer, to whom he owes his rapid and successful career. In personal appearance Sir Eldon is much less impressive than his famous predecessor, being short, slight, and fair, with eyeglasses, that give him a professional appearance.
He married two or three years ago Miss Evelyn Rudd, the daughter of a South African millionaire. Lady Gorst is a very charming and tactful woman, and a very great heiress besides. This is no slight advantage in the position she and Sir Eldon are called upon to occupy inCairo, whose cosmopolitan society entertains on a very lavish scale.
Of course, Sir Eldon Gorst will continue directly Cromer's own traditions ; and never more will Egypt hark back to the iniquitous era of the Khedive- Ismail, whose personal extravagance increased the national debt from $50,000,000 to well over $500,000,000. Ismail was, indeed, one of the most magnificent spendthrifts that ever lived. One strategie move with the great Paris bank, the Société Générale, procured him $60,000,000.
And when the Franco-German war closed the Paris money market to him, he passed a law known as the Makabale, in virtue of which taxpayers who came forward with six years of taxes in advance could claim an exemption of half-taxes for the rest of their lives. This expedient brought the lavish Khedive another $25,000,000. He issued later on a loan of 9160,000,000 in London and Paris at a preposterously high rate of interest, so that Egyptian bonds fell to less than a quarter of their par value. Ismail could no longer raise money, and so he sold 176,000 shares of the Suez Canal Company to the British Government for a further $20,000,000.
It is no wonder that Egypt's finances were hopelessly involved and the peasantry starving. Out of this welter Earl Cromer drew Egypt, aided by his lieutenant, Sir Eldon Gorst, who is now in supreme control.
There is at present but one peril, and this lies in the fact that the country depends too exclusively on its cotton crop, which is worth $40,000,000 a year. For this reason Sir Eldon Gorst is giving great attention to sugar-growing experiments and cereals. Even the once despised Soudan is now being developed in a marvellous way, especially by means of artesian wells. Then, too, the Suakin-Berber Railroad is being laid by the Nubians of the Nile Valley at a cost of $10,000,000, which money is being provided out of the surplus revenues of Egypt.
Agricultural land values have risen enormously. Fifty years ago good land could be picked up at anything from $25 to $75 an acre, whereas to-day from $125 to $200 is asked and cheerfully paid, in view of the great Government schemes connected with the Blue and White Niles. A gigantic scheme has been devised to convert many of the scorching wastes of the Nile Valley into rich plantations. This is the design of Sir Eldon Gorst's chief wizard, Sir William Garstin. G. C. M. G. Its cost is estimated at $170,000,000, and the period required for its completion is about fifteen years.
The scheme consists of ten sections, and is designed to benefit the Sudan as well as Egypt proper. To begin with, the outflow of the infant Nile from the Victoria and Albert Lakes is to be regulated; and later on in its course the "River of Egypt" is to be provided with a new channel, so as to escape the vast marshes of the Sou dan, where at present fifty per cent of the river flow is wasted.
One part of the scheme, if successful, will turn 750,000 acres into a garden capable of turning in a revenue worth over six million dollars a year. When all this is done, a new Egypt will arise, a thousandfold more fruitful than the old one.

Dr. Brandès, director of the quarantine encampment at Suakin, who was for 7 years head of the encampment at Tor, has published an interesting pamphlet, giving all the details in connection with the pilgrim's passing through the Sudan. According to this pamphlet the number of pilgrim's passing through Suakin for the present year were 3042 men, 1868 female and 1,178 children making a total of 6,088. pilgrims.
At 4.30 a.m. yesterday morning a fierce fire broke out in the Ater el Neby, Old Cairo district, where a large store of dry durra and tibn was almost completely destroyed. When the fire brigade arrived on the scene, the conflagration was at its height and the surrounding buildings were threatened. Although there was no water available for the steamers, the brigade did brilliant work with 2 manuals and eventually succeeded in getting the fire in check, after some 6 hours hard work, but not before damage had been done to the extent of £120. Another fire occurred at 6.30 yesterday morning in Sharia Rowie, Mousky quarter, in a dwelling house. It is believed that the cause of the fire is due to a flue setting light to a wooden beam in a bakery on the ground floor. Two whole storeys were badly burnt and the damage is estimated at about £100.
Kafr-el-Zayat has been disturbed by a terrible love, tragedy. M. Giovanni Pintor, an agent of the Sabatelli works had fallen in love with a young Italian girl of high family. His advances were favourably received, but for. some reasons be was gradually snubbed and at length forbidden the house. He threatened to kill himself, his sweetheart, and all connected with her, but his threats were treated with disdain. However he presented himself at the house one evening in company with some Arabs, and endeavoured to effect an entrance. Pailing in this, he turned his revolver on himself. Three times he pulled the trigger and each time it missed fire. At length he shot himself in the lungs, and fell but without losing consciousness. The Arabs accompanying him carried the wounded man to his house, from where he was taken to the Tantah hospital. His condition is most serious, but it is hoped that his constitution will pull him through.

NEW CAIRO BARRACKS.
In the House of Commons last week Mr. J. Robertson asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the cost of the new barracks to be erected for the army of occupation at Cairo is to be shared between the British and Egyptian Governments; and, in that case, in whom the ownership of the barracks will vest. Sir E. Grey.--The answer to the first part of the hon. member's question is in the negative. The existing barracks are Egyptian Government property (except a small part built by British War Office funds), and are held by the army of occupation so long as required for military purposes. The new barracks will also be the property of the Egyptian Government, and held on the same terms.
Mr. J. Robertson also asked whether the sum of £50,000, officially announced in May last as voted by the Egyptian Ministry of Finances to meet the costs of movements of troops of the army of occupation in 1906, was in addition to the sum of £200,000 agreed upon to be paid by the Egyptian Government towards the costs of the army of occupation and in addition to the sum recently voted for the construction of new barracks at Cairo for the army of ocenpation, Sir E. Grey.-- I have no information as to the £200,000 referred to in the question. The sum payable by the Egyptian Governmemt to meet the extra cost of maintaining the British forces in Egypt since April 1 last is £150,000 a year. Prior to that date it was £100,000 a a year. In addition to the £100,000 paid for the financial year 1906-07, a sum of £52,000 was paid in respect of the increase of troops in 1906. The arrangements as to the construction of new barracks at Cairo are outside these Algures
The above case was resumed before the Bel gian Consulate at 9 a m. yesterday morning. The court was presided over by M. Georges Eid, consul. The accused, Vittorine Heureux, was brought into the room at 9.30 accompanied by a prison official. M. Kassab, chancellor of the consulate, read the report of Dr. Warnock who examined the prisoner. The doctor declared that Vittorine is a normal person, subject to epileptie fits. She has an irritable nervous system and her mind is of an excitable and hysterical nature. She is not altogether responsible for her actions. During the reading of this report Vittorine Heureux was suddenly taken ill, and carried out. She was heard to hysterically ery "The thief! The liar!] The coward 1 The court was suspended for 15 minutes after which the prisoner returned, calmed. M. Goldschmidt, on being called said that he knew Vittorine when she was aequainted with a certain Oppenheim from whom she had a child, and when deserted by Oppenheim, he offered to keep her, to which she agreed. But after three months he found it impossible to continue to live with her, and decided to effect a severance. This was done, though the woman threatened to set fire to his house if he did not marry her. Many scenes resulted and on one occasion he struck her across the back with his stick. The accused was sentenced to four month imprisonnent.

MENAS CITY
To the EDITOR OF THE "EGYPTIAN GAZETTE."
Sir, I have no difficulty to answer your question as to where did I take the plate Bloc de grès à Cardium edule, L," which figures in front of my "Contribution à l'étude des environs de Marsa Matrouh" (Alexandria 1907). The plate has been very courteously lent to me by Rev. Karl Maria Kaufman, the distinguished German archaeologist, and represents a block found by him while unearthing the Menas City in Mariout, from among the ruins. My original idea was to insert it among other illustrations in the text, but after Mr. Kaofman had invited me to write a geological chapter for the fourth part of his valuable reports, this first idea was abandoned in order to reserve an amount of original material of notes and illustrations for the said report. It was only at the last moment, while the entire composition of my work was in the press, that I thought it better to replace, by Mr. Kaufman's plate, a geometrical figure of Arabic style which my editor had placed to fill up a waste space in the title page. It is why no mention, could be made in the text at the time. I am very glad, however, that you gave me thus the occasion to publicly thank my friend, the Rev. Carl. Maria Kaufman, for his above-mentioned courtesy I am, Sir, ete.

As briefly reported in our cable of the 8th inst, a meeting of the creditors of Hamaui Brothers and Co., of Manchester, and Hamaui and Sons, of Cairo, merchants and shippers, was held at Manchester on Wednesday last. The statement of affairs showed liabilities amounting to £31,689, and assets of £55,520 in connexion with the Cairo-house. There was also a liability in respect of bills of exchange accepted by Hamaui Brothers and Co., in case such bills are not provided for by the drawers, who are under obligations to do so, of £82,434, and a liability on bills discounted, on which it is probable claims will arise, of £27,400. The meeting was adjourned so that the Egyptian creditors might have an opportunity of considering a proposal that they should agree to accept six half-yearly payments in fall without interest. The Manchester firm will pay twelve quarterly instalments without interest is this proposal is accepted, and the business will be carried on under three inspectors. A statement of the affairs of Messrs. A Siso and Co., of Manchester, and Messrs. Siso, Lion, and Co., of Cairo and Alexandria, was last Thursday submitted to the creditors of the two firms. It was shown that the liabilities of the Manchester house were £55,604, and assets £7,243. The accounts of the Cairo house show a sum due to trade creditors of £8,750, making the total liabilities £64,354. In connexion with the Cairo house there is a liability on bankers' and merchants' bills discounted of £37,954, and on these claims may arise. The assets of, the Egyptian firm are set down at £84,439, making the total assets £91,682, and, as in the case of the two firms who have had to I place their affairs before their creditors, the meeting resolved that, with a view to enabling the firms to pay their debts in full Messrs. A. Siso and Co. should be allowed to continue their business under deed of inspectorship. Another Manchester firm in the Egyptian trade, Messrs. Picciotto, Shalom, and Co., of South Parade Manchester, has issued circulars calling a meeting of its creditors for Monday 12th. inst. Business with Egypt is for the moment practically at a standstill, so far as Manchester firms are concerned.
An Alexandria correspondent writing on July 29 to the "Manchester Guardian" says that the interest of the week has been centred less in public dealings on the cotton market than in the current of private transactions between various Egyptian houses for the adjustment of their positions. To this more than to market barterings may be attributed the rise with which the week closes. In all likelihood this upward movement, in spite of the general stagnation of business, will continue for a time. It is known that the oversold positions are not all covered yet. When covered the market, is wondering how the height, conquered at so heavy a loss on sellers, will be maintained. For one thing, it is reported that trades in the happy situation of being in funds are buying in the interior at parities of 175 and 18, which cultivators are said to be accepting. Secondly, the restriction of credit is a necessity to which the inflexibility of the banks is subjecting the market as intensely as before, if not more so. The condition of the Nile flood, continues the correspondent, is engaging attention. A report just issued shows in a favourable light the prospects of the flood and of the cotton crop. A one metre rise has within the past week occurred in the Atbara river. The Nile flood proper appears late in rising this year. The occasional fluxes in its volume have not raised levels to the general average of the period. This slight backwardness will not, however, adversely affect the cotton crop, which is assured of plentiful irrigation by supplies released from the Assuan dam. The decisive index of the flood is the state of the Blue Nile, more particularly in the early part of August. Last year's flood presented many points of similarity to this year's up to the stage we have now reached. As in the present season, the flood in 1906 was below the average until August, after which it improved rapidly. The rise that then set in proceeded from a marked increase in the Atbara at the end of July. As the elevation now recorded in the Atbara appears likely to be sustained, there is every probability that the flood will run much the same course and attain much the same height as last year's, which was eminently satisfactory.
Although the date for the Duke of Connaught to take up the Command-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Forces and that of High Commissioner of the Mediterranean has not been fixed, it is understood that his Royal Highness will not leave for Malta before the end of the present year. Notwithstanding this, Sir John French, G.C.V.0., K.C.B., will shortly after leaving the Aldershot command, take over the duties of Inspector General of the Forces in succession to the Duke of Connaught, and some little time before his Royal Highness leaves for Malta, bis future headquarters.

PROSPECTS OF NILE FLOOD.
The following notes on the meteorological conditions of the season and the prospects of the Nile flood have been issued by Captain Lyons, Director of the Survey Department :
The months of July, and August are those in which the Abyssinian rainfall is heaviest and 30 per cent of the whole annual rainfall falls in each month. The effect of this is to cause a rapid rise in the level of the Blue Nile in July, while in August and the first ten days of September the river at Roseires oscillates near its highest | level. The average rise in July at this station is four metres, while in August an additional increase of 0.7 or 0-8 metres is normally recorded.
Up to the end of June, the prospects of the Nile Flood were unfavourable ; the temporary relief caused by a Blue Nile flood wave in April affected the Nile in Egypt in May but I passed away in the early part of June, and the small and irregular flood waves of the first rise had small effect, being fed by a rainfall which was weak all over Abyssinia and only 50 per cent of the normal amount at Addis Abbaba.
In July, the rains have been persistently weak and have been interrupted by breaks of comparatively dry weather which severely | affected the rivers. Fair rates of rise at the beginning and end of the month on the Blue Nile were divided by a fortnight in which the river oscillated to and fro but did not rise I effectively. The total rise in the month was 2.4 metres instead of 4.0 metres. The Atbars also shewed the same period of interrupted rainfall.
Throughout the month, atmospheric pressure over Egypt and Syria , was about 2 mm. in excess until the end of the month when it fell just below the normal, at a time when an improvement was reported from the Arabian Sea and North Western India. It cannot be said that any distinct sign of such an improvement has appeared in the Abyssinian rains. The per ported rainfalls of the Abyssinian and Sudan area for July are :
Thus the rains have been exceptionally weak and shew but little improvement on those of June. The stations are far too few to shew the distribution of the rains, so the river. gange readings must be used to supplement them. Taking the ganges furthest up-stream on the Atbars and the Blue Nile as most nearly representing the rainfall, we have :-)
ROSEIRES
KHASHM EL GIRBA.
thus the exceptional weakness of the rainfall must have extended to the whole of the Abyesinian tableland. In August, when the Abyssinian rains are at their maximum, our knowledge of the extent to which the meteorological conditions in Egypt and the Sudan affect the rainfall is not yet sufficient advanced to be a safe guide. For the present, therefore, it is only possible to examine records of past years and to note that high atmospheric pressure in Egypt has almost always been an unfavourable sign. Up to the present date we have, as already mentioned, a large deficiency in the flood.
KHARTOUM.
The corresponding deficiency in the volume of water passing these places in July is in millions of cubic metres) -
which bears out the result. deduced from the rainfall reports.
Referring to the records of past years, in one alone--1903—-was there a deficiency of a metre in the Wadi Halfa mean gauge readings of 1-5 August, which was followed by levels
slightly above the average in September. Thus, the June rainfall, which is estimated to provide 18 percent of the flood water, was fully 50 per cent deficient; the July rainfall, estimated to provide 30 per cent, was about 30 per cent deficient, (Addis Abbaba-88%, Roseires25%); thus some 16 per cent of an average flood volume may be considered as deficient up to the present time. On the whole, it seems more probable that this deficiency will be increased in August than that it will be diminished. If this should be the case, the principal interest will lie in the occasional winter rainstorms which may occur between November and March and which have, both in 1906 and 1907, greatly improved the low stage supply.
The ceremony to celebrate the rise of the Nile will take place on Saturday the 24th instant, on which occasion the following dispositions will be carried out :- The Officer Commanding, Artillery, Egyptian Army, will arrange for the necessary guns to arrive at Foum-El-Khalig at 10a.m. on the 24th instant, for the purpose of firing salutes as follows :21 guns in the afternoon (El Asr). 21 guns on the arrival of the vessel "Akaba" at Pum-ElKhalig. 21 guns at sunset. 21 guns after sunset (El Asha). 19 guns on the arrival and departure of His Excellency the Regent.
The Cavalry band will embark on the vessel "Akaba" at Boulac Arsenal at 3 p.m. the same day, to accompany 'the vessel to Foum-ElKhalig and there to disembark and proceed to the place of ceremony. In addition the necessary guns will be sent on the same day to the vessel "Akaba" at Boulac Arsenal in sufficient time to embark thereon before 3 p.m. to fire the following salutes :-21 guns on the de. parture of the vessel from the Arsenal. 21 guns after the vessel passes Kasr-El-Ni Bridge. 21 guns on the arrival of the vessel at Foum. ElKhalig. 21 guns on the departure of the vessel returning to the Arsenal. 17 guns opposite the Nileometer at Roda. 21 guns on the arrival of the vessel at the Arsenal.
On the occasion of the ceremony, Saturday the 24th instant. will be observed as a general holiday, and all Military Offices will be closed.
Judgment was given this morning in the case brought by the Mamour of the Karmons Kism of Alexandria against "Al Mokattam", "Al Watan", and "Al Shark", when the following sentences were passed :
Sheikh Shaheen Khazen, correspondent of "Al Mokattam", was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. Jean Angelo, correspondent of "Al Watan" was sentenced to three months' imprisonment.
Fines were inflicted upon the proprietors of "Al Mokattam" and "Al Watan".
The charge against "Al Shark" was disallowed and both the proprietor and reporter of that journal were acquitted.

Some gentleman aflame with public zeal has, says the "Tribune" been writing to the papers to complain that the Havana cigars sold at the Monse of Commons are made in Guernsey, and that the Egyptian cigarettes are manufactured in Whitechapel. There is a grain of truth in the assertion, but like all partial truths, it is misleading. The House of Commons is a place of varied tastes, and the Kitchen Committee cater for them all. A member of Parliament may | buy a twopenny smoke of no known origin, or he may aspire to a two shilling cigar imported direct from Havana. The Guernsey production are plainly marked, with their place of, manufacture, and have a certain popularity: 1t is the same with cigarettes. Some are made in London, some are specially sent from Turkey. All that the caterers insist on is that the place of origin I shall be marked.
Procès-verbaux de la Délégation des 4, 9, 16, 23, 30 juillet 1907 et 6 août 1907. - Lettre du 15 juillet 1907 du Ministère de l'Intérieur approuvant les crédits votés par la Commission dans sa séance du 3 juillet 1907.Lettre du 25 mai 1907 de l'Inspection du 3me Cercle d'Irrigation confiant à la Municipalité les travaux de réfection et d'élargissement du pont Ibrahim.-Lettres du 20 juillet et du 8 août 1907 du Ministère de l'Intérieur relatives à la concession Joseph, pour la construction de la jetée promenade au quai du Port Est. Par cette lettre le Ministère informe la Municipalité qu'il a introduit quelques légères modifications au contrat de concession. La Commission adoptant ces modifications and autorisé le président à passer les actes. --Lettre du 30 juillet du Ministère de l'Intérieur relative à la reglementation de canal Mahmoudieh. Le Ministère fait certaines observations à ce sujet et la Commission, avant de les adopter, les a renvoyées à l'étude du service du Contentieux et du Comité spécial chargé de l'élaboration des règlements.-Le Ministère de l'Intérieur a informé également la Municipalité qu'il se trouve dans l'impossibilité, pour le moment, de donner son approbation à la décision de la Commission Municipale d'accorder des gratifications aux fonctionnaires de la Municipalite qui ont prêté leur concours dans l'affaire des terrains de Chatby dont la propriété sval été contestée par M. Bismot. Une décision à se sujet sera prise à la rentrée.
A prélever sur le budget extraordinaire : L.E. 400 pour le bornage des terrains de la Municipalité; L.E. 100 pour fouilles pratiquées par le Musée au nouvean cimetière catholique; LE. 31, à titre supplémentaire, pour l'impression du Guide du Musée ; L.E. 940 pour le renouvellement du matériel d'incendie du palais municipal et l'aménagement des diversi bureaux ; LE 234 pour régulariser les dépenses faites pour les anciennes, plaques du tarif des voitures; LE. 33 pour les coupe-fils.
A prélever sur la réserve du budget ordinaire : L.E. 144 pour la modification des classes de deux postes d'ingénieurs prévus au projet de réorganisation ; L.E. 60 pour majorer les frais de transport et de déplacement de l'Administration centrale; LE 90 pour majorer les menus frais de ce même service , L.E. 160 pour majorer les frais de déplacement de service du tanzim.
Sur l'avis conforme de la Délégation, le président a proposé de voter à cet effet un crédit de LE. 3000, à prélever sur le crédit global de LE. 19000 que nécessitera l'extension du système à toute la canalisation de la ville. Mansour bey ayant fait observer qu'avant de voter cette dépense, qu'il trouve d'ailleurs exagérée pour un essai, il y aurait lieu d'étudier avec soin si le système en question répond aux exigences de l'hygiène, M. Ehrlieh lui a répondu que le système n'était plus à l'état d'essai mais qu'il entrait définitivement dans la période d'application après études préalables de l'ingénieur en chef et des services compétents.
Tout cela est bel et bon, mais la question est de savoir si les conseillers municipaux doivent voter les crédits les yeux fermée ou s'ils ont le droit d'exiger d'abord un rapport sur la question. C'est ce que demandait Mansour Bey. On a voté le crédit quand même à la sollicitation de Schiess Pacha et le plus curieux, c'est que Mansour Bey a fini par se rallier. Dans ces conditions nos édiles ne sont plus que des machines à voter.
Les seuls crédits qui aient été ajournés à la suite des observations de Mansour Bey, sont | les suivants : 375 LE: pour la construction de latrines et cabinet de toilette au jardin Nouzha et 2000 LE. pour l'irrigation du jardin. Mansour Bey a eu pleinement raison de demander un devis estimatif de ces dépenses, avant de les approuver.
En ce qui concerne les LE. 6250 proposées I pour la route en corniche conduisant au palais de Ras-el-Tin, la Commission attend une réponse à sa lettre sollicitant du Gouvernement une contribution plus élevée de sa part que son offre de L.E. 1000, et cela d'autant plus que le route projetée est appelée a profiter d'Etat autant qu'à la Municipalité. On croit que le Ministère proposera un compromis acceptable pour la Commission et dans ce cas une décision sera prise à la prochaine séance.
Les virements de crédits suivants ont été approuvés : 1. LR. 600 pour le dallage en vieilles dalles des ruelles de la Ville à prélever.

La Commission a adopté la proposition de la Délégation relative au transport des immondices du côté Sud du Canal Mahmoudieh, dans la localité appelée Gheit el Anab. Elle a approuvé les crédits nécessaires à cet effet, qui seront prélevés sur le budget extraordinaire. Ces crédits s'élèvent à 500 Livres pour la construction d'un pont provisoire en bois conduisant au-delà du Canal et à 250 Livres pour l'établissement d'une voie d'accès à l'emplacement projeté. Quant au terrain pour le dépôt des immondices, la Commission a décidé de le prendre en location pour le moment, en attendant qu'on fasse les démarches nécessaires en vue de son acquisition.
Les amendes . dues par un fournisseur pour fourniture de bordures de trottoirs ont été réduites de trois quarts, sur la proposition de la Délégation "Pour la dernière fois, a dit Schiess Pacha." Il nous semble que ce serait simple justice à l'égard des concurrents à l'adjudication que d'appliquer la peine entière.

Le Caire, Mercredi 14 Août Le taux de l'escompte libre à Londres est renseigné en nouvelle hausse de 1/8 à 4 1/4 pour cent.
An Stock Exchange, le Consolidé anglais s'est relevé hier de 1/2 à 81 7/8. L'Unifiée est restée inchangée à 101 1/4. La National Bank a haussé encore de 1/4 and 20 5/8 et l'Agricole de 1/8 8 8 1'4. La Daira Sanieh a perdu 1/8 à 12 5/8 et la Delta Light 1/8 à 9 7/8.
A Paris, le Crédit Foncier Egyptien a baissé de 1 franc à 685, la Banque d'Athènes de 1 frane à 111 et les Lots Taros également à 167.
lei, la séance d'aujourd'hui a été à peu de choses près la répétition de celle d'hier. Même brillant débat suivi d'une légère réaction qui a peut-être persisté un peu plus longtemps. Néanmoins, la clôture présente pour la généralité des valeurs une avance de quelques fractions, sauf pour quelques-unes qui, ayant fait des bonds trop rapides, se tassent à la suite de réalisations. Le nombre des transactions reste important et grandit même de jour en jour.
Au risque de nous répéter, le léger arrêt de la hausse de certains titres nous parait salutaire, et de nature à accélérer encore leur reprise. Il est facile à comprendre que les ache. teurs actuels sont suffisamment forts pour attendre une nouvelle hausse et ne lâcher les titres qu'au moment qui leur semblera propice. Pendant ce temps le flottant s'élimine et la hausse se prépare.
Dans le compartiment des Banques, l'Agricole passe à 8 3/16-1/4. La National Bank est également en bonne tendance à 20 1/2-9/16. La Banque d'Orient améliore son cours à 117. La fondateur Société Générale est recherchée a 47.
Les Jouissances Eaux du Caire hanssent à 195. Les Wardan Estates remontent à 4 5/8. L'Allotment est réalisée à 2 3/4, tandis que sa part continue à hausser à P.T. 76. Les Entreprises Immobilières et Travaux restent en bonne demande à 2 5/8 et leur part est l'objet de nombreuses transactions qui la portent à P.T. 49-50. Les fondateurs Héliopolis continuent à être demandées à 12 1/2. Les Omnibus Automobiles reprennent un meilleur rang à 2 3/4, tandis que la fondateur descend à 4.
Dans le groupe des Hotels, les Baehler réagissent à 6 1/8, ayant été poussés un peu trop vite. Les Upper Egypt font un bond à 3 1/8. Les fondateurs National Hotel restent actifs à P.T. 36.
Parmi les petites valeurs, la Delta Land est ramenée à 21/16-1/8. Les New Egyptian re. montent lentement à 16/6. Les Estates molissent à 0 3/4-13/16 et leur part à 3 3/4-4. Les Oasis (Western Egypt) sont mieux tenues à 09/16-5/8, ainsi que les Ghezireh Mansions À 03/8.
Ainsi que nous l'avions annoncé, l'assemblée de la Corporation des agents de change du Caire s'est réunie hier soir à l'effet de fixer définitivement les conditions de rétablissement du marché à terme.
Il a été donné lecture d'un projet de règlement qui a été accepté par la majorité des assistants. Les principales dispositions, dont nous avions déjà parlé, se résument comme suit:
Le rétablissement du marché à terme est fixé au 1er Septembre prochain. La liquidation des opérations à terme se fera mensuellement avec compensation hebdomadaire, et, au cas de fortes flactuations, compensation extraordinaire.
Les agents et leurs clients devront verser une marge en garantie de leurs opérations. Toute défaillance d'un agent entralvera sa radiation de la Corporation. Une Chambre de compensation sera créée.
Voici donc rétabli le marché à terme selon un règlement qui paraft - beaucoup de bons esprits insuffisamment étudié, rédigé autant
que voté avec une hâte que l'on ne s'explique gnère. On se demande aussi pourquoi la Corporation, actuellement très réduite par suite de l'absence d'un grand nombre d'agents, et non des moindres, a ort devoir mettre tant de précipitation à adopter un projet dont l'application nous fera voir rapidement les défauts. Quant à la "Chambre de Compensation" dont on a décidé la création au pied levé, sans projet présentant de sérieuses garanties pour les déposants, on ne s'explique de même pas pour quelle raison pne innovation anssi grave, eu égard aux sommes énormes qu'elle peut avoir à gérer, a été décidée sans qu'un règlement spécial ait été soumis au préalable aux intéressés.

The Money Market.
The shadow of the autumn gold requirements is over the money market, and the pessimists are already beginning to prophesy a shortage of the precious metal. Of course this is not a new feature, and should cause little surprise. We are usually told at this time of the year that very grave difficulties will be experience in meeting the calls of the autumn Probably the real reason for the early doleful opinions this year is to be found in the extreme depression prevailing throughout the financial world, which causes men usually optimistic to take a gloomy view of the future.
So far as we can see, there is no reason why we should change the opinion we have previously expressed that, although the demand for Egypt is likely to be heavy, it will be possible to meet it without serious inconvenience. A higher Bank rate may be necessary and may not help the stock markets bat, unless America becomes a serious competitor for gold, any stringency that may occur will only be of short duration.
The Bank's position has this week been affected by holiday demands for money. Over a million in coin has gone into the country, and only £60,000 in notes has returned from circulation. The net decrease in the reserve is therefore £717,000. Owing to the reduction in deposits, however, the proportion to liabilities has risen slightly to 46.90 per cent. The total reserve now stands at £23,650,000 as compared with £24,735,000 in the corresponding week last year.
The price of bar gold is unchanged on the week at 77/105
Silver
This market has been quiet, and the fluctuations are slight. Bar silver is now quoted 31,15/16.
The Stock Markets.
We refer in another column to the causes which have contributed towards the present serious condition of the stock markets here. Some idea of the extent of the slump in values will be gathered from the quotations we give below, and it will be readily seen that this is such as to cause serious misgiving as to the future. The flatness of markets can no longer be attributed to the paucity of business. It is the direct result of nervousness brought about by the combination of events outlined in our article which appears elsewhere in this issue.
During part of this week markets have been in a condition bordering on panic, and there seems little prospect of an early improvement, for to-day things are if anything worse than yesterday, which is saying a good deal. Consols, which last night had lost , have further fallen to 81and there appears to be no limit to the liquidation. At their present price they almost beat the record established in 1848. What will be the end of it all remains to be seen, but the outlook is anything but promising.
Consols.
The Government continue to take advantage of the very low price of the premier security to acquire large blocks of the stock for redemption purposes. These purchases are, however, more than off-set by the daily sales from other quarters. Last night the quotation finished lower at 81H for the account. To-day Consols close 7/16 lower for the account at 81%.
Foreign Bonds
International bonds have been dull. The feature has been the weakness of Japanese, which have been sold somewhat extensively. The Fours left off last night no better than 80%, and other issues also show substantial declines on the week.
Russian bonds are also flat, both the Fours and the last issue leaving off with losses of yesterday, at 784 and 83% respectively,
Japanese have further receded to day but Russians are unchanged.
Home Rails
The last of the English railway half-yearly dividends--that of the L. N.W.- was declared on Wednesday, and is at the rate of 59 per cent. per annum, same as last year. Some surprise was expressed that, with an increase of £230,000 in the gross earnings, the directors had not increased the amount of the declaration, but the general view is one of satisfaction that they have placed a special amount of £70,000 to the general reserve, and have increased the carry-forward from £96,000 to £133.000.
Now that the list of dividends is complete, it is interesting to compare it with last year's declarations. Of the 21 principal English companies, ten are paying the same rates as twelve months ago, six have increased the rates, and five have reduced the rates.
This week the market for these shares has been extremely depressed, and a further heavy decline in values has been marked all-round. Of course the fall in Consols is the primary cause. Yesterday South-Western Deferred gave way 2} to 39}., Great Eastern 14 to 657 ex., Great Western and North Eastern 11 to 1194 and 184 respectively.
To-day home rails show a further decline.
Americans
There is no disguising the fact that Wall Street has been very badly hit by the heavy fine imposed on the Standard Oil Company. In. some quarters the optimistic view is expressed that the company will be able to evade the fine for a considerable period by means of a series of appeals to the higher courts, but if the report which comes to hand to-day, that Attorney General Bonapart had stated, in an interview yesterday that it was the avowed purpose of the Department of Justice to prosecute criminally the persons responsible for the violation of the Anti-Trust Law, wherever there is a reasonable prospect of success, it would seem that the high financiers in the States have underestimated the courage of President Roosevelt. Of course these financial corporations are powerful bodies, and may be able to resist for a time the attacks of the Government, but the prospect of a long struggle of this kind can have no sort of comfort for the poor shareholder.
During the past week a state of semi-panic has prevailed in New York, Huge blocks of stock have been thrown on the market. with a consequent heavy slump in prices all round. This state of things has been accurately reflected in our market here, and the movements have been very wild and erratic. Yesterday Unions showed a fall of over 8, at 1331. this being above the lowest level touched. Northern Pacific dropped 6, to 126, Milwaukee 4, to 127, and Southern Pacific 3 3/4 to 86 ¼.
Americans show some recovery to day unions are up 1 3/4.
Egyptians
Egyptians have been very quiet during the past week, but it is satisfactory to note that prices have kept steady, notwithstanding the depreciation taking place in nearly every other section. Delta Land and Investment have recovered to 2, and Delta Preference (Bearer) are firm at 10.
National Bank, close 205, and Agricultural Bank of Egypt are up to 8tt The Preference is unchanged at 91, and the 31% Debentures at 85-7. Daira Sanieh, after being steady st 13 all week, were yesterday offered down to 12%, closing to night 127-13 and the Deferred were 60-65.
Egyptian Estates are a much better market at ¾-7/8 and the Deferred at 4-5. NewEgyptian have also been firm at buyers, United Egyptian Lands close ⅜-7/16 and Corporation of Western Egypt 7/16-9/16.
Union Fonciere at 4 5/8, and Land Bank at 7. 5/16 are unchanged. Salt and Soda are still 13/16, and Egyptian Markets 1 3/8, but there is no business passing in these shares.
Khedivial Mail are quoted 1, 1/16-3,16, and Bank of Roumania 8 1/2-9.
Mining
South African mining shares have suffered in common with other markets, and several of the leading shares are lower. On the whole however, the tone has been fairly steady, and business has been restricted throughout the week. De Beers have again been the most active. Yesterday these shares left off at 22 ½, showing a loss of 7/16 on the day. Modderfontein were 3/16 lower at 4 3/4 and Tanganyika 5/32 at 4, 7/16.
There is no enquiry for Egyptian mining sharas, which remain steady and unchanged.

American Futures. The market this week has been interrupted by holidays on Saturday the 3rd and Monday the 5th instant. Since business was resumed on Tuesday morning the tone has been firm and prices have had a slowly hardening tendency, to-day's closing values being 81 @ 9 points higher than those of last Thursday,
The cause of the improvement has chiefly been the continuance of dry hot weather throughout Texas and some of the districts adjoining; reports are to hand that the drought is causing injury, and that the position is becoming serious. The Bureau report, issued during the period that our market was closed, although giving the condition as only 75 % (which is undoubtedly and poor condition) fell somewhat flat, having failed to bring in any outside speculative buying, but should the needed rains keep off much longer we think some further rise in prices inevitable.

The American metropolis, which rather prides itself upon its knowledge of kings, princes, and the great ones of the earth, has been sadly hoaxed as regards the identity of a young adventurer who descended upon New York recently and became immediately famous as Jacques Lebaudy, first Emperor of the Sahara, says the "Telegraph's" New York correspondent. M. Jacques Lebaudy's claims to the Sahara and his plans to establish a sandy kingdom where he could reign at ease, depending chiefly upon support, presumably, on his French sugar interests, are well known here.
Those receptions which he held four years ago at the Savoy Hotel, London, when all classes of people from drill sergeants to vendors of barbed wire offered their services in establishing the structure for M. Lebaudy's dominions were reported here and interested people amazingly. There was something novel, ingenious, colossal in his pretensions, which naturally appealed to the American imagination. When, therefore, a young man resembling Jacques, and describing himself as that illustrious Saharan potentate and possessing plenty of money suddenly appeared here, society was stirred to its innermost depths and received the newcomer with open arms. Tradesmen and others anxious to develop M. Lebaudy's sandy kingdom besieged him here just the same as in London. Suddenly Jacques disappeared, and then stories undermining his Royal pretensions began to appear. A little investigation showed that the new Emperor was only a poor imitation of the real article. He was a Frenchman, truly, and had plenty of money, which he spent galore, but his language was of Marseilles rather than of Paris ; he had what his countrymen called "La folie de grandeur" largely developed, and being possessed by a desire for adventure and likewise of a big purse, experienced no difficulty | in playing his role at the expense of the American public.
The real Jacques Lebaudy, travelling incognito was actually here a little while ago, but from what he said I judge that he has abandoned all dreams of empire so far as the Sahara is concerned.
DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS.
During August many people suffer acutely from general depression of the system ; common ailments at this time are heavy languor and weariness, indigestion, headaches, dizziness with fits of faintness, and loss of strength. If such troubles arise remember that you need a tonic, and that thousands of others who once suffered from August ailments have found relief in the splendid invigorating and strengthening powers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Mrs. Lomax is a bright, energetic lady who controls her own business at 68 and 70, Sceptre-street, Newcastle. When interviewed she stated :
A strange feeling of depression.
"I felt quite run-down, and in need of something that would renew my lost strength, | while giving me relief from pain. I suffered from sick headaches, with a burning feeling across my forehead, and I felt heavy and I tired. I could not touch food without being attacked by indigestion. At night I could not sleep and in the morning I was worn out.
"I could not shake off a strange feeling of depression ; my eyes grew dim, and whatever I looked at seemed blurred. I knew that my system was run-down, and that I needed something which would give me energy.
"So when a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I did so. I found them I just the tonie I wanted. After taking these Pills my appetite was keener; I enjoyed rest|ful sleep, and could relish food. I soon re gained all my usual strength and energy, and ever since have felt well. I can speak most highly of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
Thousands of cured men and women praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People for having cured Anemia, General Weakness, Indigestion, Sciatica, Rheumatism, Pains in the Back, St. Vitus' Dance, Nervous Disorders and Paralysis.

The "Mining World" understands that a suitable site has now been found for the erection of the Sudan Gold Field's mill, and that orders for the machinery will be placed without delay. There is a possibility, however, of the Company being able to purchase the Um Rus redaction machinery, which would be a saving both in time and expense. The Om Nabardi mine is quite ripe for milling operations, there being a large quantity of good grade ore awaiting treatment. According to the latest advices, the 240-ft. level west from No. 2 air-shaft is in a lode 3 ft. wide, worth 24 oz, and in the bottom level of the mine-the 360-ft. level east of Llewellyn's shaft--the lode still maintains its good value, being now 15 in. wide, worth 1 oz. 15 dwt. There is little doubt that Om Nabardi will give a satisfactory account of itself when crushing is in full swing.
