There is no doubt that Egypt is to many people an attractive country. We have
all. heard of the proverbial wish of those who have once drunk the water of
the Nile, to return again. That was, we think, intended only to refer to the
stranger who had left the country, but at the present moment it is receiving
a new application, as interpreted by the inhabitants of Cairo, who in a most
unmistakable way are expressing their wish to be again allowed to drink of
the water of their beloved river; they do not seem to be convinced even
where this is made an international question, and representatives of the
most
We have been told on high authority that Egypt is the gift of the Nile" and there is no doubt that the river is the primary object of interest in the country, and that part of it which centres round the Assouan Cataract is the most interesting part of the river. The latest publication of the survey Department is entitled A Description of the first or Assouan Cataract of the Nile, by Mr. Job Ball P.D., B. Sc., P.G.S. (Price P.T. 20) and it should find many readers, for there are few subjects better worth treating of in Egypt than this
The author mentions by Dame sixty writers, from the prophet Ezekiel down to this 20th century, who have contributed to the literature of the First Cataract, but we venture to say that none of them have described it 80 accurately or with such a wealth of detail in plans and sections as we find in the subject of this notice. To those who have already visited Assouan it will probably give much information they did not possess before nad, to those about to visit it, we strongly recommend the book.
The author devotes a good part of the first two pages of his book to proving that the name "Cataract" as applied to Assouan, and consequently the title of his book, are misnomers, and where he tells us that the total fall of water surface is only about five metres, and that that is spread over a length of 9 kilometres, we think he has fairly well proved that it should not have been called a cataract, but a rapid or rapids. We think that many a traveller well versed in the lore of Herodotus, Strabo, Plinyete , visiting Assouan for the first time, must have found that it did not quite come up to his expectations. Many an ancient historian, in addition to being a keen observer had also a vivid imagination. On the other hand the author justly remarks that in ancient times the fall at Assouan was considerably greater than at present, and from what we have seen of the erosive effect of the water on the rocks forming the apron below the new dam, we think he is quite right on this point.
Within the area to which the book refers, which is well illustrated by the excellent maps and sections attached to it, the two objects of principal interest are the temples of Philæ and the new dam. Many of our readers will still remember the impassioned discussion with reference to Phile some 12 or 14 years ago, where the construction of the new dam was decided on, and what vials of Egyptological wrath were poured out on the high officials of the Egyptian Government, who madfully though reluctantly did their duty by placing the dam where it now is.
The author has exceptional opportunity of telling us something interesting about this, as be was in charge of the very considerable work required for strengthening or under-pinning the foundations of the temples of Philawhich we believe be did in a very substantial way, and the Egyptian Government must have spent a very large amount of money in effect ing this useful purpose. The author says "the temples are now secure against subsidence, and the only effect of the annual flooding is to render them inaccessible except by boat for a few months of the year." We imagine that this passage was written before it was decided to increase the height of the dam, and that, however, much the temples may be secure against subsidence, their superstructures will now be much more liable to be damaged by immersion, when the dam is raised to its full height.
For the last few years the question of the probability of a high or a low Nile bas ceased to be of that absorbing and vital interest in this country which it formerly was, bet to those who can remember the disastrous effects of the Nile floods of 1874 and 1878, and who witnessed the brink of starvation to which hundreds of thousands of the people were brought by the low Nile of 1877, will never forget the boon conferred on this country, by the improved regulation of the Nile, of which the Assouan dam is one of the most prominent features
The author makes a very interesting, reference to the work of Eratosthenes about 230 B.C. in his famous attempt to determine the size of the earth, by experiments made simultaneously at Assouan and Alexandria Although bis experiments were based on data which would in modern times be only considered as a very rough approximation, it is extraordinary that the result obtained was surprisingly near the truth, and the determination was justly regarded great achievement for the times in which it was made.
It is interesting to us, citizens of Alexandria to know that our town was in this us in many other ways intimately connected with the dawn of scientific experiment, and we hope reflection on such things may stimulate those among us who have the power to beautify our city and to make it in every way worthy of the position which it holds among the cities of the world "by ancient right unchallenged.'

To day the White Star liner "Cedrio" leaves New-York for Alexandria with a large number of American tourists for Egypt. The "Cedric" will continue to be engaged in the New York Mediterranean service during the early months of 1908. It is not her first entry into the waters of the great inland sea, as last winter this favourite steamer won such support from the best class of American travellers that the White Star Line decided to employ her again in the service. It is of interest to note that the "Cedric" which is of 21,000 tons, is the largest craft ever seen in the Mediterranean.

We regret to state that in our opinion the praiseworthy efforts of the International Tenants Commission of Alexandria to induce the Municipality to undertake the construction of cheap flats is doomed to failure. In New York the people intend to adopt a drastic method of rent war, which was to begin on New Years Day. A telegram from New York in the London "Tribune" says :- Encouraged by the Socialist party, 30,000 families, residing in the slum districts have refused to pay their fents according to the present scale. It is contended that the exigencies of the industrial conditions necessitate a 20 to 30 per cent. reduction in rentals. The trouble has arisen out of the custom of property owners to sublet the tenements to men who compel the tenants to pay exorbitant rents.
New Year's Day was observed at the Egyp tian State Railway Institute with all the usual ceremony, both the interior and exterior of the hall being well decorated, and the passages, with the walls covered with oriental tent cloth, inade excellent tea and refreshment rooms. Nearly four hundred people, including the children were entertained, and the afternoon passed off most successfully, one of the items on the entertainment list being a tug of war between the inspectors and fitters of the locomotive department, the former eventually succeeding in drawing their adversaries over the line. The rest of the afternoon was devoted to athletic sports for the children, who entered into various competitions with much enthusism, the prizes being afterwards distributed by Mrs. Trevethick. Tea was served at 5.30 after which an excellent concert was held in the hall, Mr. James opening with a spirited march which was followed by contributions from Sergt. Silver, Segt. Jewell, and Messrs Hillman and Tylers. At 9.30 in the evening a dance was held which, was kept up into the small hours of the following morning, and was a fitting conclusion to a most enjoy. able day. Mr. Cooper carried out the duties of M. C. in a very efficient manner.

The "Tribune" states that President Roosevelt has authorized Mr. Root to notify the authorities at Tokio that if Congress pass the Bill for the exclusion of Japanese labour he will veto it. Mr. Root is optimistic regarding a satisfactory settlement of the question.
The Quarantine Board has notified all shipping agents and Masters of pilgrim steamers that on the return voyage from the Hedjez none of these ships will in any case be allowed to coal either at Suez or Port Said Most rigorous measures will be taken to carry out this regulation in order to avoid any pilgrim steamer stopping in Egyptian waters for the purpose of coaling.
This morning the Quarantine Board ordered. the Clayton Gas Company to despatch a vessel at once to Tor to disinfect the pilgrims there.
The disinfection of Alexandria and its suburbs is to be taken in hand and in a few days time a remarkable innovation will make its appearance in the streets, in the shape of a steam-propelled disinfect ing machine, belonging to the Clayton Gas Company of Egypt and the Sudan. Its
object is to disinfect private houses, warehouses, public buildings, etc. The advent of a machine of this type is a novelty not only for its utility, but also as an experiment in motor traction in Egypt. It is the first company in Egypt, which has had the originality to tackle the problem of house to house disinfection on a modern and scientific basis. The motor has received the approval of the Alexandria Governorat and Municipality. It will begin operations within the next few days.
The R. A. M. C. held their annual social on Tuesday evening last, the 31st. December. There was a very large company present. Amongst those to be noticed were Colonel and Mrs. Wilson, Major Fox, Lieut. Ferguson, the Matron, and Nursing Sisters, Miss Wroxall, Sergeant Major and Mrs. Jones and family. Other prominent persons were present, whose names are too numerous to mention. The president expressed his regret that owing to cirenmstances the gentlemen from the HM.S. "Diana," who had promised to attend, were unable to do so. The room was beautifully decorated with flags, sashes, etc., and it was a treat to look at it. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the decorators, whose work was well executed. Placards were placed in prominent positions around the room These consisted of "Success to Colonel and Mrs Wilson," "Compliments of the Season to Major Fox," "Best Wishes to Our Matron and Sisters, and "Good Luck to Sergt. Major and Mrs Jones" The band of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers were present and rendered a few-well-known selections of mu. sic before tea was partaken of. This was well served by Messrs. Jewel, Tripp, Bevan and Boyd After tea was over the curtains of the stage were rung up and on the centre of the stage stood a magnificent Chistmas Tree beautifully got up. Attached to the tree were valuable prizes which were presented to the children by Colonel Wilson, Santa Claus (Mr. Bevan) rendered all assistance. Songs were given by Mr. Bevan, and Mr Tripp. A waltz was next on the programme. The band rendered more music and after God Save the King had been played, the company departed, everyone having enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Sergt. Maj. Jones de serves all credit for the success of the entertainment.
A part le concert de demain après midi dimanche, il sera donné la représentation cinématographique dont le programme absolument nouveau fera le régal du public.

RAMLEH'S MOST FASHIONABLE HOTEL MODERATE PRICES:
Some interesting cases have come before the Cairo courts this week. On Tuesdaythe case of certain land at Luxor was dealt with by the MixedCourt, M Vasquez presiding. Me Ayrout on behalf of the Plaintiffs claimed ownership of the 30 feddans in question as having been transferred to his client by the Daïra Sanieh Company. This claim Me Cardemenas strenerously resisted and in a vigorous speech declared his learned friend's olient and those in possession of the village and houses to be merely tenants, instancing contracts in which their names appeared in that capacity. Correspondence extending from the years 1897 and 8 shewed that the inhabitants had frequently asked for fresh leases to be granted to them. The Daira he maintained has had these letters numbered and catalogued; they cannot be false. Certificates shewing payment of land-tax were produced in support-documents sanc tioned both by the Mudirieb and the Daira. Up to 1904 these taxes had been paid by the latter, and since then the claimants had borne them. El Sayed, a villager, was one of those who had already claimed ownership, and the Court had disallowed the claim. "You", said counsel, "must prove your claim to all the land, or it is useless." Me. Loutfi Ayrout replied, prefacing his remarks with a complaint that all the documents had not been communicated to him by his opponents. The Daira, and its successors he continued, had held the land some 15 years and could claim by a prescriptive right. His friend's clients have never had possession. As to the expelled tenants who claimed to be owners; could not the judicial authority and the Luxor policy be invoked against his own client with equal facility! He supported his argaments by appeals to a certificate of 1904, and to an official extract made by the Mudirieh showing that some 800,000 feddans including those in dispute were untaxed. A sale of land worth P.T. 50 to one of his friend's clients for P.T. 5 seemed to shew complicity between the Daira and the purchaser, if indeed it were a genuine sale. In conclusion, Me. Ayrout asked the Tribunal for an inquiry by an expert on the spot, mentioning that another case dealing with the same matter was being pleaded before Ahmed Bey Loutfi, and judgment had been deferred pending the decision of the Mixed Tribunal. The Court adjourned the further hearing till January 9. Another land dispute, Ahmed Hussein (Me. Sapriel) against D. Curiel (Me. Nahmias) was alse adjourned.
Me Pezzi, who opened for the Plaintiff in this matter, said that his client, tenant of some property comprised in the Wakf of Gohar had had his building thereon demolished by the Wakf authorities, but owing to a mistake by the valuer his holding was incorrectly measur ed and he had consequently lost about half the land due to him in the subsequent apportionment. The expert, it seemed, had relied on a plan made in a former case where the same parcels were included and had shewn the Plaintiff's land as having an area of 13 feddans; on measurement however it turned out to be 24 feddans. Plaintiff now claimed to be granted costs of the former action dealing with this land, and asked that a new survey should be made. Counsel added that his client's title had already been recognised, in one instance, by the Defendant.
Me Sednaoui opposed the application on behalf of Mme Zenab. His friend's client had no title to the land. In 1900, Garabedian had levelled the boundary wall of his property and had built another, taking in more land. The expert appointed to survey and value the, Wakf land succeeded in tracing the old wall and Plaintiff was accordingly directed to cede the land encroached upon and put the Defendant in possession. The sale to the Plaintiff of this so-called terre vagné should never have been permitted; let him show a grant from Ahmed Gohar the formed Nazir of the Wakf Counsel concluded by assenting to the appointment of a surveyor and the case was directed to stand over till January.
Me Lakah appeared for the Plaitiffs in a new action.
This was a dispute relating to the Wakf of Said Pasha, of which the Administration Général des Wakfs" was Nazir. In 1904, said counsel, the present Defendant, sold M. M. Zervudachi some 112 feddans near the Pont des Anglais, the purchased price being paid partly in land and partly in cash. On, a deficiency being discovered by the Plantiffs, in the land given them in exchange, they applied to the Wakfs to rectify the mistake and were met by a refusal. On writing a second time they received no reply: and hence this action was brought to obtain a me asurement of the land.
Mr. Manci, replying for Administration Général, objected to the Plantiffs
having delayed action; moreover the exchange had been made en blook and
therefore by Moslem law no objection could now be raised. The Wakf
Council had attached certain conditions to the transaction, which
included a stipulation that no valuation should be given or required,
and these conditions had been accepted by the purchasers. The Codes were
relied on as shewing that in such a case as the present one no demand
for cancellation of the contract or for making up the deficiency was
admissible. To the latter argument Mr. Lakah urged that the Egyptian
code while forbidding a demand for cancellation in such cases was silent
with respect to the making up of defici
The case of Caloyanni v. Mazloum was directed to be struck out of the list. This case had been pending sioce 1904. The action brought by Abdel Malek Abdel Noor against Hermann Singer was adjourned for an expert valner to be appointed.
The action De Martino v. Coronel and others, relating to the sale of the Maison Coronel at Cairo to one Tarbet was brought (explained Mr. Pezzi) to determine the position of a tenant of part of the building. It was claimed on behalf of other interested members of the Coronel family that the Tribunal had no jurisdiction, the amount in dispute be ing over £100, and Articles 26 et segg of the Code of Procedure being relied upon. The lease had been granted for 8 years from June 1, 1905; the tenant M. Jombroff objected to the new conditions demanded by the purchaser as the price of its renewal in 1906; and the Tribunal had upheld the objection.
On the case of Simon and Benjamin Arbib v. the Egyptian Government, being called, the Plaintiffs' Counsel, Mr. Chalom, mentioned that the first-named had died since the beginning of the action, and the case was adjourned till February 25 by the President, (M Vasquez), to allow the heirs to be made parties.
By the middle of January it is hoped that the great new wing to Al Hayat will be finished and furnished, and the hotel will be the larger by some hundred rooms. The foundations were scarcely begun last April, and the new block of buildings has risen rapidly since then and now entirely dominates the original pile, from the rocky spur on which it stands. Like the remainder of the building, this new portion has been planned so that the rooms shall reap the benefit to the utmost of the health giving sun; and throughly nearly every window its course can be traced from East to West. This shaped wing lies on the eastern side of the original house and leads from off the end of the wide terrace which has become so popular a corner. Halls and reception rooms are at its entrance; with a fine billiard room and a finer concert) hall, which latter will be requisitioned also for dancing purposes; for the management has every intention of providing full entertainment for its coming guests. There is to be also a bar in the same neighbourhood; a bar elegantly panelled, roofed and decorated with green wood almost too beautiful for its purpose. From these reception rooms one faces through long wide verandahs, from which access is gained to many fine suites of rooms complete in themselves and furnished with every accessory to comfort. These contain fine sitting rooms with two or more bedrooms of different size and bathroom etc. Every room. bath room and passage is furnished with heating apparatus; double doors exclude light and noise, and the most perfected form of wooden blinds shut out the sun when neces sary. All these suites, like the single rooms, will be furnished with everything that can add to the convenience of the guests roomy wardrobes and chests of drawers, long easy chairs whereon to laze the hours away, and comfortable beds and carpets, and nothing anywhere to catch the dust. From the many verandahs most gorgeous views can be obtained of the desert which stretches from the garden walls tar away into the distance; and over towards and beyond the Nile to the long chain of pyramids which break the view from Gizeh to far Dashoor.
When the new building is complete the garden will be extended beneath it; and the little valley where once stood the sun baths will be transformed into a flowering oasis. Fresh sun baths will doubtless then be situated on the roof which will make a magnificent position for them.
On the further side of the road to the North of the Hotel another garden will shortly be planted out surrounding the German Protestant Church which is now in process of erection. The land on which it stands is the gift of the hotel management and the cost of its erection has been detrayed to a great extent by the contributions of the visitors. Within the walls of the same garden is a small mecanotherapic institute under the charge of Dr. Preminger of Marienbad. Here electric lights baths will be administered with all the latest forms of massage and gymnastics which will be open to the use of the public as well as the visitors to the Hotel.
Al Hayat was practically full all last season; at the present moment it has its fair complement of visitors. Every day is adding to its popularity; and when the new building is open to the public, it will certainly take its place among the most complete and comfortable hotels in the country.

The début of the Alexandria and Ramleh Amateur Musical and Dramatic Society has been brilliant. The inaugural concert, which was held last night in the large and handsomely decorated dining room of the Savoy Palace Hotel, was an enormous success. H.E. Mustapha Pasha Ibadi, Governor of Alexandria, honoured the Society with his presence, as did also H.B.M.'s Consul General Gould, 1.8.0., who was there with Mrs. Gould, and Mr. H. Barker, Norwegian Consul. The luxurious winter-garden of the hotel made a splendid background to the concert room and, in congratulating the management and staff of the " Savoy Palace upon the perfection of the ap pearance and comfort of the room, we must not overlook the fact that it was only after dinner had been served to the guests of the hotel that their arrangements could be carried out. In the winter-garden, too, Mr. George Brey, the manager, had made excellent arrangements for service from a liberally-stocked buffet, and many of the overflowing audience remained after the concert to discuss the evening's entertainment over the good fare offered them. In preface, suffice it to say that the attendance outnumbered 200 residents of Alexandria and Ramleh, that no element of the Society of Alexandria and its suburb was: lacking, and, what is after all the main point, the praise bestowed was both universal and thoroughly deserved. We feel assured that the Society will maintain the standard of success which it reached last night, and will fulfil its "raison d'être a most worthy object, the promotion of amateur musical and dramatic talent in the interests of charity and in the hope of drawing closer together the many social elements which must exist in the most cosmopolitan country of the world.
To turn to the programme itself. It was a programme quite deserving of the name the Society has adopted-it was artistically musical and equalled any amateur concert we have been privileged to attend. Its compilation offered a talent which any society might be proud of, whatever its age, and as yet the Alexandria and Ramleh Amateur Musical and Dramatic Society has only known the light of day since December 9, 1907.
The programme commenced informally with an overture by Mr. Haydn Righton, who was, at once recognised by the audience as a great acquisition to the musical world of Alexandria. Mr. Righton was, moreover, indefatigable in the execution of the arduous duties he had assumed at the piano, and most successful. In his accompaniments he was always in sympathy with the vocalist, and as a soloist he showed. great merit. In part I he played Chopin's "Nocturne" in G. major with great feeling and, in the second part he gave us a very well compiled variation, of which he was himself the composer, of Round's fine old song "Home Sweet Home."
The official programme, as we might style it, was opened by Mr. G. Ferguson, baritone with mellow voice, who sang in splendid style Stephen Adams' "Nirvana," and in the second part he gave us the old favourite "Beduoin Love Song. "Miss B. Murphy's song "Berceuse de Jocelyn" with violin obligato by Miss K. Murphy was very warmly applauded, and in the second part Miss K. Murphy played as a violin solo Raff's "Cavatina," giving a most sympathetic rendering Miss B. Murphy's song was followed by a trombone rendering of "Home Sweet Home" by Band Sergeant Hopkins (2nd R. Innis. Fus.) The trombone is generally considered as the most difficult of all wind instruments to play, but Band Sergeant Hopkins is a thorough master of it and his ex cution pleased all. Mr. Watson Ramsey's wellknown band also provided us with another item-Daddy" sung by Boy Radcliffe. His voice is clear and pure, his enunciation excellent, every word being brought out in its entirety, and young as he is, he does not he sitate to express the meaning of the words He sings from his heart and we were glad to see that as the lad left the hall, there were those who stopped him to shake his hand in Congratulation.
Mr W. F. Sarjeant's rendering of her sister in-law's, (Mrs. M. E. Dandridge) song" The Last was loudly encored and in response to the en thusiastic demand she gave us "If no one ever marries me", a song of lighter character, but full of charm. In the second part Mrs. Sarjeant sang "May-Day" and gave us a delightful rendering of Goddard's beautiful composition. The first part of the programme was concluded by two short songs sung by Mrs. E. G. C. Moss, who has a charming voice and interpreted her songs with great sympathy; the first was "Rose in the Bud" by Dorothy Forster and the second "I Hid my Love" by Guy d'Harde lot and these evoked a great demand for an encore. In the second half Mrs. Moss gave us "Mignon" and in response to the shower of applause which greeted its conclusion she sang "Le Chanson de Florian".
An item which met with very hearty appre ciation was the artistic rendering of the romance "Sei vendicata" from Meyerbeer's opera "Dianora," by Mr. D. Lambridis. He possesses a fine voice of good timbre, which shou ld prove a great acquisition to the Society At the conclusion of the concert Mr. E. B. Gould in a short speech expressed the pleasure with which the audience had attended the inaugural concert of the Society and congra tulated the performers and the committee on the brilliant success which they had attained. The evening was then conoluded with the Khedivial Anthem and "God Save the King. Many thanksare due to Mrs. Otway Smithers, Mrs. Wats n Ramsey, Mr. Papasian and Mr. Gerald Thompson for the most able way in which they accompanied those who took part. An excellent Steinway grand piano was provided by Messrs. Hugo Hackh and many remarks were passed on the purity of its tone,

Sir Frank Lascelles, whom our telegrams this morning state is retiring from the Ambassadorship at Saint-Petersburg, first came to the front as an able diplomatist when he held the port of Diplomatic Agent and Consul General on three occasions in 1878 and 1879 during the excit ing period of Ismail's abdication In that crisis he convinced his official súperiors of his fitness for higher and more independent spheres of action. Accordingly he was sent to Bulgaria in November, 1879, and displayed in that difficult position so much ability and discretion that in 886 he was made a K. C. M G., and on Jan.1, 887, was appointed to the vacant post of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Bucharest. From thence in July, 1891, he was transferred to the Court of Teheran, succeding Sir Henry Drummond Wolf there as Minister Plenipotentiary. His activity and vigilance in Persia caused him to be so much appreciated by the Foreign Office that they appointed him to one of the most important posts in the Diplomatie Service. He was made Ambassador to St. Petersburg at the close of 1893, in succession to the late Sir Robert Morier..
He is the second son of the late Right Hon. Willlam Sebright Lascelles, M.P., third son of the second Earl of Harewood, and of Lady Caroline Georgiana Howard, daughter of the sixth Earl of Carlisle. Born in 1841, he entered the Diplomatic Service at the age of 20.

The morning was cold and the sky threatening, but the afternoon turned out fine and still The gate was not quite as large as on New Year's day but nevertheless there was a considerable gathering of spectators. In the first race Abou Nadara won easily with Digby up. The second race was rather tame, Mr. Goodchild firstly mistaking the course and then his horse Petrone came down at the jump. Hector who was rather over-weighted would not try, and Chater won as he liked The Jubilee Stakes, the big event of the day, was third on the programme. Much excitement prevailed as it was a very open question which horse would win. Patsy (late Dnsk) was made favourite at the lotteries and was bought in by his owner. The stable was very confident that he would win. Cameleon also sold well at the lotteries and was fancied for a win by many. Rainbow, Radium, Mystere, and Nadeem also had their backers.
Cameleon has had his own way in his races this year, and had not until to-day been really ridden out, but his last gallop on Sunday was rather dissappointing, whereas Patsy was reported to have done an excellent gallop. Patsy ran last year as Dusk and it will be remembered he ran well, but more than once failed just in the last few strides. He made no such mis- take to-day. He was rather a delicate pony and difficult to train, but seems to have outgrown this and was evidently trained to the minute to-day. We congratulate his owner Omar Bey Sultan, also his trainer and jockey.

Comme la semaine précédente, la semaine qui vient de s'écouler n'a eu que trois séances, mais contrairement à l'attente générale la fin de l'année 1907 et le commencement de l'année 1908 ont offert un intérêt inattendu. Celui qui aurait prévu une reprise pour l'époque des fêtes et des inventaires aurait été traité d'insensé par les haussiers eux-mêmes, et cependant c'est ce qui est arrivé. Il faut dire que les événements y sont pour beaucoup et surtout la baisse du taux privé d'escompte de 6 1/8 à 5% et du taux officiel de la Banque d'Angleterre de 7 à 6%, alors qu'il y a peu de se maines on redoutait un nouveau renchérisse ment.
Notre place qui soupirait depuis longtemps après un instant de répit a saisi avec empressement cette occasion de relever un peu les prix tombés à des niveaux extraordinairement bas. La nuée de vendeurs qui pas plus loin que la semaine dernière harcelait notre marché ayant disparu aux premières nouvelles un peu meilleures de l'étranger, il n'a pas été difficile à nos agents et spéculateurs, sans beaucoup de frais, de forcer un peu la note à la clôture des séances, de manière à avoir pour le début de l'exercice 1908 une cote en reprise presque générale.
Reste à savoir, après un triomphe aussi facile, si l'on n'est pas allé trop vite en besogne et si l'avance gagnée se maintiendra. C'est possible et même probable si les places diri geantes continuent à nous câbler des informa- tions favorables relativement à la réduction graduelle du taux d'escompte et à la tenue de valeurs égyptiennes Il est certain, en effet, que la cherté de l'argent a été pour l'Egypte, après les abus de la spéculation, le principal mobile de la crise au milieu de laquelle nous nous débattons encore. C'est elle qui a dé- placé les capitaux employés aux valeurs et qui a obligé les banques d'augmenter peu à peu leurs taux d'intérêts jusqu'à couper tout cré- dit au fur et à mesure que la cote fléchissant les marges disparaissaient. Avec le retour de la confiance un moment ébrantée et la baisse du taux d'escompte à un niveau suffisamment réduit, les capitaux afflueront de nouveau ici pour trouver un meilleur placement sur les bonnes valents qui, en somme, si elles ont été poussées à des prix exagérés au mo ment de la fièvre spéculative, n'ont pour cela rien perdu de leur valeur intrinsèque et se trouvent pour la plupart à un prix maintenant fort raisonnable et dans beaucoup de cas avantageux. Toute la question 'est donc de savoir si la tension monétaire a définitivement disparu. Les nouvelles de Londres tendraient à le faire croire, mais on aurait tort de s'emballer ici pour diverses raisons, d'abord parce qu'il est prudent d'attendre la confirmation de ces nouvelles et ensuite parce que même dans la meilleure des hypothèses nos banques locales no reduiront guère leurs taux d'intérêts avant un ou deux mois, après que la récolte cotonnière aura été négociée et qu'elles-mêmes ayant obtenu des avances d'Europe avec les nouveaux prix reduits pourront faire à leurs clients des réductions proportionnelles.
Or, à cette époque nons serons bien prêts de la saison d'été qui commence ici de fort bonne heure; de plus, l'épargne ayant été échaudée au cours de la orise, la spéculation ne pourra guère compter sur cet élérent. C'est dire qu'à notre avis la spéculation ferait fausse route en tentant des coups comme ceux qui lui ont si bien réussi les années précédentes mais qui é- choueraient sans aucun doute après la dure le- çon qu'à reçu le pays. Déjà en 1907 la spéculation s'est trouvée prise à son propre piège et ne dispose plus l'heure actuelle que de faibles moyens. Dans ces conditions, et il faut s'en féliciter pour l'avenir, il n'y a pas à escompter d'emballement pour l'année en cours mais une reprise rationnelle et un classement des bonnes valeurs dans les portefeuilles.
Pour en revenir à la semaine écoulée, elle a marqué essentiellement une période d'indécision dans les deux premières séances de lundi et mardi, puis dans celle d'aujourd'hui un revirament complet en faveur de la hausse, qui peut être considérée comme générale, puisque sur 25 titres en hausse il n'y en a que 9 en baisse Les autres demeurent stationnaires aux cours de vendredi dernier. Il est juste d'ajouter pour donner une idée exacte de la situation que les affaires n'ont pas été. nombreuses, ni brillantes et que la reprise n'est en général basée que sur des deman des sans contre-partie. En d'autres termes, le marché est excessivement restreint. Si dans de telles circonstances nous avons pu voir une suite ininterrompue de baisse faute d'acheteurs, il ne serait pas surprenant de constater un mouvement en sens inverse faute de vendeurs.
Au Stock Exchange nos valeurs, qui étaient délaissées depuis quelque temps, ont joni d'un retour de vogue C'est ainsi que la Daïra et l'Agricole ont regagné 1/8, l'Unifiée 1/4 et la National Bank 3/8. Le Consolidé est remonté de 83 84 1/8. Nous avons déjà dit que le taux officiel de la Banque d'Angleterre avait été réduit de 7 à 6%, mais sa réserve a diminué de 40 à 35 5 8%.
A Paris l'action Crédit Foncier Egyptien a repris de 17 france à 701. La Rente a bénéficié d'une avance de 45 points à 95.75.
Ici les fluctuations les plus remarquables sont les suivantes : la National Bank bénéficie de 3/8 à 20 1/4 et la Cassa di Sconto de 5 fr. 50 & 48 1/2. En revanche, l'Alexandria Water et la Béhéra perdent 1/4 aus respectifs de 10 3/8 et 20. Mais la varon sensationnelle de la semaine est sans contredit le fléchissement de 2 livres et demie sur les Nungovich
Hotels qui passent de 14 1/2 à 2
A signaler encore une reprise de 1/8 en Ramleh, Daira et Urbaine, qui ont été l'objet d'une certaine demande, ainsi que le Comptoir et les Splendid Hotels en avance respective de 3/16.
Pour ces derniers, la hausse a été déterminée par l'arrangement récemment intervenu au sujet du New Khedivial Hotel, arrangement aux termes duquel cette propriété a été vendue par les Ritz au prince Youssef Kamal. C'est pour le même motif que les Ritz Hotels ont bénéficié d'une demande suivie avec 1/32 de hausse.
La Nile Land, qui avait d'abord fléchi à 7 1/2, a repris ensuite pour clôturer nominal au même prix que vendredi passé.
Après l'interminable dégringolade de oes derniers temps on a beaucoup remarqué le relèvement de l'obligation ancienne Crédit Foncier de 271,50 à 274. La nouvelle progresse également de 250 1/2 à 251 1/4. Non seule ment les offres ont cessé, mais il est surgi une demande assez active.
L'Ordinary Khedivial Mail s'insorit à 17/9 ex coupon, en baisse de 2 shellings et 3 pence. Les Markets remontent de 1 shelling 9 pence, les Cotton Mills de 3 pence, la Salt & Soda de 1 shelling, l'Anglo American Nile de 1/16, la Banque d'Athènes de 1 fr. 75, l'Investment et les Estates de 1' 32, la Land Bank de 1/16, la Banque d'Orient de 2 fr., l'Aboukir de 3 pence, l'Action Allotment de 1/16 et la fondateur de 3 P.T., les Cotton Ginners et la Levico de 1/32, la Fanous de 1/16.
En baisse, au contraire, l'Agricole de 1/32, la Delta Light de 3/32, les Dividendes Tram ways d'Alexandrie de 1 franc et les Privilé giées Bière d'Alexandrie de 3 francs.
Sur le reste de la cote il n'y a pas de changements à signaler.
Un correspondant nous demande si un simple actionnaire peut obliger une Société Anonyme anglaise établie en Egypte et enregistrée suivant The Companies' Acts, à lui fournir une copie du bilan et du rapport des censeurs. Nous pouvons répondre à ce sujet que dans les débats sur le nouveau Companies' Bill" on a introduit et adopté un article d'après lequel un actionnaire peut exiger une copie du bilan et du rapport des censeurs à un prix ne dé passant pas six pence par millier de mots Quant au prétexte invoqué par certaines socié tés d'éviter la concurrence commerciale, le Ministère estime que toute société anonyme établie sur des bases solides n'a rien à craindre d'une telle publicité et ne doit pas hésiter à fournir les renseignements en question à un actionnaire qui lui a confié tout son avoir.
Nous extrayons du rapport du Conseil d'Administration de la "Nile Cold Storage Cy. Ltd" la à l'assemblée générale ordinaire qui a eu lieu le 14 écoulé, les renseignements suivants : La balance des comptes pour le présent exercice au 30 Juin 1907 qui comprenait une pé- riode de 18 mois, montre pour cette durée une perte de £5,535.10.7 contre Lstg. 10,000 durant la période précédente qui s'étendait depuis le début des opérations de la compagnie au 31 Décembre 1905. Grâce aux mesures prises par le Conseil d'Administration, les pertes ont diminué de mois en mois et récemment ont été remplacées par de légers bénéfices que le Conseil espère maintenir et augmenter considérablement dans la suite. Les affaires du Caire et de Port-Said sont solidement établies et les administrateurs envisagent la possibilité d'étendre les opérations de la société à Alexandrie A la suite de la démission en Mai dernier, de Sir John Rogers de ses fonctions de président du Conseil d'administration, Mr. Dr. Herbert Milton a été élu président du Conseil. Mr. Astley P. Friend, ayant démissionné de directeur de la société a été nommé ingénieur-conseil. M. A. J. Tweedie, a été confirmé comme administrateur et M. Herbert Milton réélu en la même qualite. MM. Russell, Kerr and Wyatt ont été réélus comme censeurs.
Coton
Le mouvement de baisse s'est encore accentué pendant la huitaine qui vient de s'écouler. La nouvelle de la déconfiture d'une de nos im-- portantes maisons de courtage, qui a cessé ses paiements cet après-midi, et l'exécution d'un gros manipulateur à la hausse ont achevé de désemparer notre marché qui a clôturé en pleine débandade. Le Mars, qui avait coté 181 9/16, en.clôture ce matin, est tombé ce soir à 18 1/16 pour finir à 18 3 16, an son de cloche. La perte est de 13/16 sur Vendredi dernier. La semaine est, en autres termes, une des plus lamentables que nous ayons enregistrées jusqu'ici.
Nons constatous ce fait aved regret, non pas que nous voulions prendre parti pour une clique quelconque de joueurs, mais parce que, nous avons à cœur le bien du pays, si éprouvé par la dernière crise. Nous considérons, à juste titre, qu'une baisse, semblable à celle que nous enregistrons cette huitaine, serait tout simple ment désastreuse pour, le pays si elle devait se répéter pendant une ou deux semaines encore. L'effondrement des cours du coton avec la récolte actuelle qui est médiocre, jetterait une grave perturbation dans la vie économique de 'Egypte, en ce sens qu'elle rendrait la balance commerciale défavorable à ce pays, qui, à la longue, pourrait se trouver dans l'impossibilité de rémunérer les considérables capitaux européens placés ici, et même, peut- être, d'assurer un jour, le service d'une dette publique écrasante. En effet, si nous vendons notre coton à 18 tallaris, avec une récolte de 6 5/8 millions de cantars en moyenne, nous arrivons à peine, avec les autres articles d'exportation, à payer nos importations qui s'élé vent cette année à LE. 26.200.000.
Comment faire, face aux lourdes charges financières, qui grèvent le pays au
profit de l'Etranger, si les prix du coton ne nous laissent pas un excédent
qui permette de les acquitter ? La spéculation à la hausse, qui constituait
une espèce de rempart contre la baisse, a été anéantie. Il n'existe plus
rien pour contreba
Il n'y a rien d'intéressant à signaler comme fluctuations journalières de cette semaine. Le marché a été faible et en recul marqué, bien qu'il fut quelque peu soutenu mardi et jeudi derniers.
Les écarts de prix entre les diverses éché ances augmentent et les reports deviennent chers d'autant plus quelques détenteurs her chent à reporter leurs positions pour des dois plus éloignés.
La baisse des contrata s'est reflétée sur le marché de Minet of Bassal qui a été pea actit Les cours sont quand même mieux soutenus qu'à la Bourse Khédiviale et la qualité traitée pour les contrats est cotée un demi-tallari plus cher.
Le commerce & montre platot de l'indiffé- rence à contracter des engagements nouveaux à la veille des fêtes.
Si les perspectives d'avenir ne sont pas très encourageantes au point de vue spéculatif, il n'en est pas de même au point de vue com. mercial; l'exportation a pour elle quelques chances d'opérer dans des conditions qui lui permettront de contenter la filature, qui a encore des besoins à couvrir.
La cote officielle du disponible accuse sur la semaine dernière une baisse de 5/8 sur toutes les qualités y compris Haute-Egypte: Abbasi et le Nubari réactionnent également de 1/2 tallari, tandis que l'extra Joannovich ne perd que 1/4
Les exportations de la semaine ont diminué. Elles n'atteignent que 21.627 balles contre 33 585 l'année dernière. Les arrivages sont cependant de 24 600 kantars inférieurs a ceux de l'année passée pour la même semaine. Le stock à Minet-el-Bassal atteint ainsi 1.900.604 cantars contre 1.864.774 à pareille date en 1907. Les renseignements que nous avons obtenus nous font prévoir de fortes expéditions pour la deuxième quinzaine du mois courant.
Les américains ont haussé. Nous trouvons le Janvier Février à 5.78, soit en hausse de 18 points sur samedi dernier."
Liverpool est satisfaisant par rapport aux prix. Le spot cloture à 9 40/64 et les futurs Janvier gagnent une légère fraction à 9 37/64. Ce marché n'a cependant guère été actif pour les égyptiens disponibles dont la vente journalière est de 100 balles en moyenne. Le Haute Egypte est négligé depuis quelque temps et il est à supposer qu'il ne sera guère demandé aux prix précédemment cotés.
On se demande souvent si la situation de l'article a changé pour justifier la baisse actuelle. S'il est vrai, d'après certaines prévisions dignes de foi, que les besoins de la consommation doivent nécessairement dé- passer la production du coton, qui n'est que moyenne cette année, il n'en est pas moins certain que la misère, qui règne dans plusieurs pays, produira un certain ralentissement. dans la demande des filés et tissus. Le déficit prévu pourrait être ainsi considérablement atténué.
Un atout en faveur de nos cotons est-incontestablement la mauvaise récolte brésilienne dont les cours luttent avantageusement avec certaines variétés égyptiennes.
L'Alexandria Produce Association a fixé les différences de prix pour livraison sur contrats de coton janvier à P.T. 17 1/2 pour le Brown et P.T. 20 et 25 pour le Haute-Egypte en plus de la pénalité de P.T. 7 1/2.
Un agronome du Caire vient d'obtenir, par suite d'une longue sélection, une nouvelle variété de coton, qui est décidément remarquable. Nous nous bornerons énumérer brièvement les qualités et avantages qui distinguent cette nouvelle espèce.
1° Rendement de 20 à 30 pour cent supé rieur; 2° Maturité plus rapide; la cueillette en peut être faite 15 à 20 jours plus tôt que celle des autres espèces; 3° le coton ne se détache pas et ne touche pas à terre lorsque les noix, fendent, comme il arrive pour les autres varié- tés; 4° les noix sont plus grosses que celles du coton Mit-Afifi; 5° elles contiennent environ 10 pour cent de coton en plus que les autres espèces; 6° la quantité à l'égrenage varie entre 100 et 106; 7° l'arbuste atteint une hauteur de i mètre 20 dans les bonnes terres et un mètre dans celles de qualité médiocre; 8 enfin, la qualité du coton est supérieure, ainsi qu'en fait foi l'examen qui a été fait par la Liverpool Cotton Association laquelle l'a classé au même rang que les cotons Joanovich et Georgia Sea Island (américain extra fin) examen dont les résultats ont été consignés dans un certificat officiel qui vient d'être enregistré aux Tribunaux Mixtes.
Graines de Coton
Les arrivages de la semaine ont encore été supérieurs à ceux de l'année passée, tandis que le cas est tout le contraire en ce qui regarde les exportations. Le prix du spot a par consé quent fléchi légèrement à P.T. 65 contre 66 la semaine dernière. Les graines Haute-Egypte sont cotées à P.T. 64.
Les affaires en contrats sont peu importan-
tes, la spéculation étant occupée avec les cotons. Les cours se maintiennent cependant et la elôture s eu lieu à P.T. 68 10/40 le Janvier, P.T. 72 10/40 le Février Mars et P.T. 73 35/40 l'Avril.
La consommation de l'huile de coton & pris de grandes porportions. Les
indigènes la subetituent au beurre qui est d'un prix inaborda ble. En outre,
les savonneries locales emploient presque exclusivement cette huile dans
leur industrie. La demande de tousteaux pour l'inté rieur devient

Mrs. Roxa Tyler, 6210 Madison Avenue, Chicago, Ill., Vice President of the Illinois Woman's Alliance, writes:
"During the past year I gradually lost flesh and strength until 1 was unable to perform my work properly. I tried different remedies, and finally Perans was suggested to me.
"It gave me new life and restored my strength. I cannot speak too highly of it."
"Reading the papers about Peruna I decided to try it without the least hope that it would do me any good. But after taking three bottles I noticed a change. My appetite got better, so opt on, never got discouraged. "Now I can lie on my back and sleep all night, and you may well think how thankful I am for Peruns."

En cas de voies de fait le maximum de l'amende sera appliquée avec exclusion temporaire de la Corbeille.

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.

A BROKEN-DOWN SYSTEM.
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--

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.
THERAPION
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.
