The Allenbury's Foods
The "Allenburys" Milk Foods are the nearest approach to maternal milk that science has yet achieved. They provide, when used as directed, a complete diet for infants; promote vigorous health and growth; hake firm flesh and strong bones; and are so graduated as to give the maximum quantity of nourishment the child is capable of digesting, according to age. Diarrhoea, digestive and stomach troubles are avoided when these foods are given, as by the method of manufacture, they are absolutely devoid of noxious germs, and therefore safer than and superior to, cow's milk, especially in hot weather. The Milk Foods are made instantly by the simple addit of hot water only, and are alike suitable for the delicate infant and the child in robust health, PAMPHLET ON INFANT FEEDING SENT FREE, ALLEN & HANBURYS Ltd., 37, LOMBARD STREET, LONDON, E.C.

Saturday, January 25rd, 1908
Sir Walter Mieville, K C.M.G., contributes an interesting article under the above heading to the current number of the "XIXth Century Magazine," in which he describes the enormous, changes which have taken place in the town during recent years, and concludes his remarks with a suggestion as how best to overcome the evil of under population which is now the only real deterrent to the assured prosperity of the country. The changes which have been wrought since the downfall of the Mahdi are indeed | remarkable, for the years which have passed since that time form a very small span in the life of a country, and yet at the present day, evidences of the savagery which obtained under the despotic rule of the Madhi, and his even more tyrannical successor the Khalifa, are seldom met with and the inhabitants of the Sudan appear to have taken hold of the new civilization with a grasp and understanding which it is not usual to find in such cases. When one considers the numberless inhabitants of the country to whom the days of the Madhi and Khalifa are a living and no remoto reality, it will be admitted that the march of events has progressed with a rapidity far greater than we had any cause to expect. Under their former masters, even though not frequently subjected to the harshest and most unjust cruelty, the native was aborted with a much broader licence than that which obtains in the present day when there are police courts and strictly enforced Government regulations to be considered. But the Sudanese, the real dark skinned Sudanese of the Egyptian Sudan, is, taking him all through a sharp witted fellow, and finding that the occupation of his country by a foreign horde was an inevitable and se accomplished fact, he resigned himself to the new order of things with & philosophical calmness, and a determination to take the goods which the gods had given him, and incidentally anything else which might happen to fall in his way, without question and with a thankful heart Years of previous mistake had also produced their effect upon hin and rendered his mind more receptive to the new order of things which demanded no labour without reward, and which lett even the lowest of his countrymen in actual and undisputed possession of his wife and property provided that he behaved himself and conformed to the best of his abilities to the new regulations of justice. And regarding the new military service which was demanded of him, the display and glitter, the clanging boots and the brass bound belts, appealed to his native love of display And ceremony with a power which was all suf. ficient to turn him at once into a loyal soldier of the conquerors army, while the rivalry between the various battalions sufficed to ensure an early proficiency in the arts required of him. Thas the task which fell to the lot of the invaders was considerably lessened even in the first days of their occupation of the country, for, the loyal cooperation of the natives having been gained, the rest was comparatively speaking easy, and the developments which have followed have been more or less natural, though it has of course been necessary that the guiding hand should never be released from the wheel even for the remotest period of time. The growth of the City of Khartoum has been both rapid and well ordered, the mistake of over crowding which is so frequently inade in the laying out of a new town has been avoided here, and Khartoom is not only supplied with houses of a comfortable and serviceable description, they are also built with a dee regard to the advantages of roomy surroundings. The streets are broad and well laid out with shrubs and trees on either side, and the public buildings are built for the most part to appropriate designs, thought it must be admitted that the building work in some of these offices has been slipshod in the extreme, and that more than one of the larger of the public buildings stand as a disgrace to the authorities who were responsible for their construction The city should be an exceedingly pretty one . in future days when the avenues of trees have had sufficient time to mature, and it cannot fail to strike the visitor with a sense of incongruity when he suddenly comes across one of the principal offices of the Government either propped up by slanting baulks of timber or at least bearing the very evident signs of recent repair. Khartoum North with its extensive workshops and its dockyard is now hardly to be recognized as the bleak sandy spot of former days, and the completion of the bridge which crosses the Blue Nile at this point will further serve to destroy the evidences of that time, still fresh in the memories of most of us when a tardy Government left Gordon to his doom on this opposite bank. But though every inde cement is given to the native traders to make Khartoum North the centre of commerce, they still cling to the old port of Omdurman as far as possible, the natural shipways of the beach at the latter town being one of the principal causes which prevent their ready acquie in the desire of the Government to centralize All trade at Khartoum North, another reason being that on the occasions of a baboon or sand storm, the former port offers far greater safety to the shipping than does the latter. However all this will right itself when the above mentioned bridge is finished, for those of the traders who continue to exercise their preference for Omdarman will find that they are doing so at the expense of reduced profits by reason of the increased facilities of transport which will result in those who utilise the connection of Khartoum with the new dockyard. Only one thing now stands in the way of ever increasing prosperity in Sudan, and this lies in the underpopulation of the rural districts. This evil will in the natural course of events take generations to right itself, and it is on this point that the suggestions of Sir Walter Mioville strike us as being distinctly useful. He condemns the proposition of importing Negro blood from America, and no one who has studied the conditions existing in Africa and America respectively can gainsay the fact that such a proeedure would be fraught with very grave dangers to the ultimate peace and wellbeing of the country, but he offers on the other hand the suggestion of importing Mohamedan Indians from the more congested and famine stricken portions of our Indian Empire. By this method both India and the Sudan would benefit, the former by thus being relieved of population which is in some districts too poor to support the latter by being supplied with hands to place the more fertile of her depopulated tracts under cultivation. Racial difficulties would not, as in the case of American Negroes intrade themselves, or at least this danger would be very greatly diminished, and as the question of the under population of the Sudan is a most serions one for that country, we trust that this proposition to remedy it will receive the early consideration of the authorities.

A Cyprus Treasure
Alexander Dingli v. Sivagian was a case arising from a notable find of treasure in Cyprus some years ago. Me Paraschiva, for Dingli, told the Tribunal that his client was for some time in partnership with the Defendant, A personal friend, as a firm of dealers in antiques. Siva gian had discovered and attempted to gain possession of the treasure in question but the police interfered and only a small part was removed and taken to Paris. Although entitled to one-fourth of the profits of any deal made by the firm, Plaintiff had been kept in ignorance of this affair, the Defendant alleging that Dingli had retired from the partnership prior to the finding of the treasure. In reality, said counsel, Plaintiff had never withdrawn; and although negotiations had been entered into with a view to dissolution, it had not taken place. Some doubt existed as to the resale in Paris but it was decided that Mr. Pierpont Morgan had eventually purchased the "find' for £300,000 sterling.
The Defendant's counsel maintained that the partnership had been ended, as regards Dingli at a period anterior to the expedition to Cyprug. Sivagian only had capital while Dingli and Tano (the other partners) where to find the labour and receive half of the total profits between them. Certain relatives of Dingli's had found the treasure but Plaintiff himself did nothing except claim the money. A furions letter received from him in June 1903 informed Sivagian that Dingli left him a free hand and would do nothing to assist.
The Automobile Bank
Mention of a certain plaintiff firm 'La Banque Automobile' evoked incredulous laughter, but counsel explained that it was the actual name of a bank in Vienna. (The President : "It cannot be very convenient,' more laughter). After an interval of 20 minutes the Court reassembled for further judgments and commercial business.
Egyptian Publicity Company v. Caffari's Markets
Counsel in this action were Mes. Fatica and Musseri respectively.
A Concordant Case.
Be an application for bankruptcy, Ascarly v. Chaaraoui Co., Me. Nahmias for the defendants desired that his client should be allowed the benefit of a concordat preventif.' 'Chaoraoni was actually paying instalments of his debts from October last till the opening of the present year. One creditor (represented by Me. Ferrante) had received LE 20 in this way and had renewed his bills; yet this game creditor now asks for the debtors to be made bankrupt. Chaoraoui was merely unfortunate and not fraudulent, as would appear from his balance sheet. At this point M. Picciotto, a creditor, intervened in person to urge that the bankruptcy could only be delayed for a week or so at the utmost; it was preferable that the Court should declare it now and save further trouble. Me. Nadda, for creditors of the defendant, said that the balance sheet should have been deposited on December 21 instead of being retained until Thursday last. In reserving judgment for a week, the Court directed that all the four actions in this matter should be consolidated.
One of the most brilliant social functions seen in recent years in Alexandria took place last night when Mrs. Lang Anderson gave her Bal Poudré at San Stefano. The newly altered, and ROW magnificent, suite of rooms, Dsed by the San Stefano Club, were occupied for the evening's festivities. The rooms and salone, which are of large dimensions, were richly carpeted, and with great banks of evergreens lit up with colored electric lights and set out with divans and easy chairs gave a cosy and homelike appearance, seldom attained in these large functions. .
All the élite of English society in Alexandria were present, and also the Governor of Alexandria, H.E. Mustapha Pasha Ibadi, and his popular secretary, Beneducci Bey. We also noticed, Rear Admiral Sir Massie and Lady Blomfield, the Hon. Mrs. Hopkinson, Mr. and Mrs. Gould, Col. and Mrs. Cox, the Rev. Norman Lee and Mrs. Norman Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Foster, Judge Van Horne and Mrs. Van Horne, Mr. and Mrs. Borchgrevink, and many other leaders of society, but it is impossible to mention all the guests, who numbered nearly two hundred.
The ladies looked charming with powdered hair. Officers in uniforms were present in large numbers, and civilians were in Windsor uniform lending added colour and brightness to a gay and animated scene. The only element lacking was the absence of the Captain and Officers of H.M. 's "Diana" which unfortunately was not in the harbour.
From the first to last dance I was kept up with great spirit. The floor was splendid, and the music of the reed band of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, led by the band sergeant was all that could be desired.
A sumptuous supper was laid out in two large rooms, and the menu of choice dishes reflected great credit on the chef of San Stefano Hotel. A hot supper quickly served by plenty of deft waiters proved the capacity of the hotel staff. The buffet was also excellent,
The arrangement of the rooms, decoration and lighting were all carried out by Mr. Wenger, aided by his staff, and he is to be congratulated on such a success in his first! year of management of the San Stefano Hotel. He was indefatigable and omnipresent in seeing that everything went off without the slightest hitch.
Mrs. Lang Anderson and her charming debutante, in whose honour the ball was given, may well be pleased with the entire success of the evening, which was so heartily enjoyed by all present.
To The EDITOR OF THE "EGYPTIAN GAZETTE".
Sir, Your notion of what you call the internecine struggles among the members of the Party of the people must have been too much exaggerated.
There has been no relation whatsoever or agreement between the Party of the People and Lord Cromer as is understood from your statement. If, as you say, the Party has been favoured by the Lord who only regarded it with respect, it would be the same you favouring the Reform Party while you are not far as we think, one of its members nor are you in accord with it.
It must be, then, that you have drawn your information on that subject from an untrustworthy source which attempted to morally injure the Party. This is also one of the phases of the war now waged against the Party war that is waged not only publicly but also secretly, with weapons which we cannot deem worthy or honourable. It is carried out by people who do not like to hear a good word spoken on the side of the nation as opposed to other authorities.
If you are one of those who care that na..s should brace up by themselves and that they should only rely on themselves in all their affairs (and we cannot believe you be otherwise ) then we would relieve your anxiety by stating that the "Party of the People." will come out unhurt by all these transient intrigues which will disappear the moment they have brought their authors the personal interests they hunt after by means of them.
As to your judgment about the "Party of the People '' and the "Reform Party '', it is a thing that does not admit of discussion being nothing more than a private opinion which we cannot but respect.
Yours truly,
AHMED LUFTI EL SAYED.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents, but we think, in a spirit of fair play to all, to permit - within certain necessary limits - free discussion.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EGYPTIAN GAZETTE."
Sir, - After reading the "Secret History of the Occupation of Egypt " which I considered more or les interesting piece of fiction, I hoped that we had heard Mr. Blunt's last word on Egypt; I regret to find that it is not so, for not only is there a second edition published within a few months, but with a malicious perspicacity, astonishing to those who only knew Mr. Blant through his former works, he has published a leaflet under the above heading, which at the attractive price of one abilling might have an opportunity of circulation denied to his other books,
It is with some reluctance that I write to you on this subject, nor should I have done so bnt for the insulting way in which Mr. Blunt permits himself to speak of the British community in Alexandria to which I have had the honour to belong for the last thirty years, though I have not, I way it with some regret, that acquaintance with stocks and shares, which to Mr. Blunt names no objectionable Did it ever occur to Mr. Blunt that the pernicious effect of the fortaitons acquisition of wealth, has seldom been better illustrated, than when it enabled him to publish the books which have appeared in his name ; in which after abusing many of his friends and his enemies, in terms of invective rarely equalled in modern literature, he now comes before us as the man who does not like strong language.
Mr. Blont is fond of copying high ideals and in this wise be reminds me of General Kleber, who when in command of the French Army in Cairo, was reproached by his superiors in Paris, with lack of discipline, for not duly carrying out their instructions ; to which be replied "S'aime bien la discipline, mais seulement en sous-ordre."
In the few remarks I have to make on Mr. Blant's latest production, I will endeavour at some restraint, to frame them with such courtesy as may, under the circumstances, be due to the fastidious mood of an old man.
It is quite refreshing to be told by Mr. Blunt that as Mr. (afterwards Sir John) Scott was judge of the Court of Appeal he was unable to devote his whole time to journalism ; but the principal object of the pamphlet to which I refer, is the base of Mr. Moberly Bell, and in order to arrive at this genial result, Mr Blunt publishes many telegrams address from Egypt to the "Times" by Mr. Bell during the important events which occurred in this country between the 12th May and the 10th July 1882. I am pleased that Mr. Blant has given me an opportunity of reading these telegrams again in a connected form ; bat here my agreement .with him ends; he invites his readers to compare the telegrams with his "Secret History"; I have carefully done so, and I do not hesitate to say that as faithfully representing the state of this country at that time,-Mr. Bell's telegrams are right, and Mr. Blunt's "Secret History" is not.
As this is the pith of the whole question and serves as the basis of Mr. Blunt's flimsy fabric, I feel it is due to your readers, that I should not make this statement, without a few words of explanation, as to the circumstances which enable me to make it without much fear of contradiction.
Unlike Mr. Blant, I have never for more than thirty years past, felt called upon to leave Egypt in times of danger or difficulty, or to depend for my information on an agent of more or less doubtful antecedents. Any information I have, was collected by myself, and during all the time referred to in the above mentioned telegrams, I was in very frequent communication both with Arabi personally, and with the principal members of his party, and during the three weeks which preceded the bombardment of Alexandria, it was their own escort which enabled me almost daily to visit the British Admiral in the harbour, and themselves, at the Palace of Ras-el-Teen ; they had good reason for offering me every facility I wanted for going about. I had at that time many friends and acquaintances in Cairo and the interior, both in government service and outside it. Most of these left Egypt at this time, and I was naturally anxious to see them as they passed through Alexandria.
Without troubling you with further details, I think this will suffice to show even Mr. Blunt, that I am qualified not only to give an opinion on the above question, but that I had better opportunities than most people of being well informed, for I did not at that time, as Mr. Blunt puts it, live for removed from the higher life of native Egypt" and had already known the country well for 12 years.
I remain etc., etc.

The Moroccan Question
BERLIN, January 24.
The French are spreading the news in Morocco and Spain that Germany approves each French military expedition. The "National Gazette" remarks on this subject that this is a false interpretation of the great reserve shown by Germany regarding Morocco and the Moroccans. Now, from this reserve the French come to the conclusion that Germany has become indifferent to her interests in Morocco The attitude of reserve adopted by the German Government is dictated by her confidence in the sincerity of the French assurances repeat: edly given, that France does not project any great action in Morocco and intends to observe the Act of Algeciras.

Winston Churchill's Opinions
LONDON, January 24.
Mr. Winston Churchill, speaking at Birmingham, said he did not think there would be an election for three years but the unexpected might occur. If the Liberals had a majority at the next election they should not undertake the responsibility of administration without reforming the Lords. He repudiated the idea of immediate universal old age pensions, but there was a possibility, by considerably increasing the proportion of direct taxation coincident with the restriction of military expenditure, of facilitating a gradual practicable scheme.

The Prizes were distributed by Mrs. W. Button, wife of the foreman of works.
The officers and sergeants were "At Home" and were visited by many friends.
Earlier in the day, General Bullock and staff as well as a number of residents visited the camp and inspected the field works. The General witnessed the exploding of a land mine, approximately 150 feet deep. There is no doubt that this season's training proved destructive and beneficial to the company, the works being highly creditable. a large battalion redoubt was constructed and made replete with hospital, trenches, magazine and firing trenches fitted with shell proof covers of a modern type. Other works comprised basty entrenchments, wire entanglement and emplacements.
The leading Coptic newspaper of Cairo, "Al Watan'', has a remarkably interesting article on Dr. Rutherford's visit, entitled "Our Radical Friends''. It is as follows:
Now that Dr. Ratherford, M.P. has heard everything he thought it wise to hear
in Cairo, and that the great banquet has been given and the long expected
speeches uttered, it will not be uninteresting to cast a glance at the whole
visit and imagine what effects it is likely to produce. Of course, the most
important part of the whole story was the address which the Khedivial party
in Egypt-or the "Reform League''-presented to the Radical M.P. who, like so
many others of his political persuasion, thinks it right to act against the
ruling parties in his country and to encourage the alien races governed
England in their endeavour to acquire seltiment or complete independence. We
Egyptians, are most grateful to this small party of British politicians for
their generous support of our olaims and their constant advocacy of our
cause. But as Egyptians also we feel that the sympathy of our Radical
friends is coorsionally shown at the wrong time and in the wrong direction;
it is likely to do more hard than good. We find by experience of the most
convincing nature that the policy of Imperialists of the type of Sir Edward
Grey and Lord Cromer, although wanting and erroneous in certain ways, is on
the whole less dangerous and better suited for the requirements of our
nation and the maintenance of our prosperity under the circumstances
prevailing in our days. Our Radical friends look upon the Egyptian question,
and indeed upon all questions, from one familiar standpoint upon which we do
not think it necessary now to dilate. But statesmen of the other type take
into consideration all the circumstances of the case and have a clearer
sight of the future They are on the whole better judges of hurton nature and
their knowledge of persons and things is not superficial. They do not act up
the impulse of the moment, nor do they lose sight other matters worthy of
consideration when the chimes of human sympathy and birth right of nations
is brought forward No Radical M.P, however intelligent, can know about Egypt
one titha of the knowledge acquired by Lord Cromer after his long experience
or be a better judge of what is best for our people and our land. We
therefore, prefer to abide in the judgment of that eminent peer and of
distinguished statesmen who hold views on Egypt similar to his rather than
accept the hasty conelogions of well meaning sympathisers like Robertson,
Ru. Thetford and other members of Parliament who come to Egypt with a cargly
prepared programme and make their airies in a popular and well defined way.
Di Rutherford started well and made certain visita which made gs think that
he was not falling in the glaring OTTO of his friend the member for
Nowcastle on Tyne.

Bien que la reprise ne se soit pas intégrale ment maintenne, le marché a conservé des dispositions satisfaisantes, avec un courant d'affaires aussi actif que précédemment. On a surtout remarqué des achats très suivis sur la nouvelle récolte. Les nouvelles sensationnelles au sujet da choléra an Hedjaz, qui depuis quelque temps projettent une ombre sur le marché local, et la question de la main d'euvre, qui a été em brouillée à plaisir, ont été habilement mises profit par une nombrense clique de mani. pulateurs. D'après les dépêches privées reçues ce matin, il ressort que le conflit do Lancashire se réduit actuellement à une question de principe ou pont mieux dire, à une question d'amour propre : les patrons, avant de faire des concessions, exigent que les grévistes reprennent le travail. C'est là, comme on le voit, une pure question de forme et nous ne doutons pas que le différend soit réglé amiablement, d'autant plus que sur le fond les parties semblent être presque d'accord. Le danger de la grève une fois conjuré, nous pouvons nous attendre à une augmentation de la demande de l'industrie britannique, pendant que les filateurs américains, qui ordinai. rement à cette époque de l'année possèdent de bons stocks, mais sont maintenant pour ainsi dire sans matière première, deviendront probablement des concurrents sérieux. Non seulement les filateurs eux-mêmes se trouvent découvert, mais aussi les négociants qui ont vendu à des filateurs. Le fait le plus saillant de la semaine est incontestablement la publication du rapport du Census Bureau évaluant à 10.838.600 balles, contre 12.167.873 l'année dernière, la quantité de coton égrene jusqu'au 16 courant. Cette estimation confirme pleinement les prévisions que nous avions émises dans notre revue do 11 courant sur la récolte américaine que nous ealeulons a 11 750.000 au maximum. La récolte actuelle sera done de on million 3/4 inférieure à celle de 1906-07. Les fluctuations ont été très nombreuses; elles se résument par une perte de 5% pour le Mars, qui cloture de soir à 18 3/8. Le Novembre perd un demi tallari à 18 15/32 et le Mai 11/16 à 19. L'écart entre T'Américain et l'Egyptien n'est plus que de 7 tallaris, alors qu'il était au début de cette campagne de 11 tallaris environ. Les exportations de la semaine sont de 25.268 contre 17.112 balles pour la période correspondante de l'année dernière. Les arri. vages sont par contre de 97.808 Cantars contre 132.828 à la même époque. Le marché de Minet e Bassal a été satisfaisant. Les qualités basses de la HauteEgypte sont fort recherchées par les manufactures continentales et anglaises. La variété blanche dite Ashmount, qui est la plus demandéo, sert à la fabrication des draps; les qualités inférieures sont acquises à 11 et 13 tallaris et demi le cantar On constate avec plaisir que les mauvaises qualités, qui risquaient de nous rester sur le dos, luttent avantageusement avec l'Américain et il est à présumer que le solde de la récolte de la Haute Egypte sera entièrement vendu dans quelques semaines. Le reste de la cote du disponible ne présente pas de changement appréciable. Liverpool cloture ce soir au même niveau que Vendredi dernier pour le Mars-Avril, soit à 6.04, et en baisse de trois points pour l'OctobreNovembre qui fait 5.62. Ce marché continue. être lourd pour nos cotons, dont la vente journalière n'atteint que 200 balles en moyenne et la demande se fait sentir presqu'entièrement sur les bonnes qualités. Dans une certaine mesure, cette réduction des ventes est due à l'incertitude qui règne au sujet du "lock out" et aussi aux grandes quantités de coton e.i.f. qui ont été expédiées aux filateurs. L'Upper a haussé de 1/16 par livre, ainsi que le Brown et le fully good fair. Quant aux filés égyptiens, le marché est calme et les prix irréguliers. En attendant, les filateurs ont réduit leurs prix de plusieurs pence par livre, surtout pour les filés fins, et même dans ces conditions les affaires sont rares. La demande de la part du Continent s'est beaucoup ralentie. Les cours ont subi un vif recul en Amérique: le Mars a perda 22 points à 11.29 et le Mai 19 points à 11.55 par rapport à la semaine passée. Le projet institnant une "Chambre des Compensations" en contrats (Clearing House) a été approuvé à l'unanimité per l'Assemblée Générale des Courtiers en marchandises. Ce nouveau rouage commencers & fonctionner le 7 février prochain au Comptoir National d'Escompte qui a été chargé d'en assurer le service. Les doenments que les Agences devront fournir à la veille de la liquidation sont 1° les bordereaux, 2 le certificat d'approbation des factures et 3 les fiches. Aussitot que les opérations de compensation seront terminées, le Comptoir National d'Es. compte règlera les différences avec du numé. raire. On annonce officieusement que la souscommission judiciaire se réunira prochainement pour approuver d'une façon définitive le projet réglementant nos Bourses de Commerce. L'Egypte attend depuis de longues années cette loi et il est à espérer qu'on ne tarders pas trop à l'appliquer. Il serait oiseux de revenir sur cet intéressant projet. Il a trop occupé l'opinion générale, la presse, le marché financier et commercial au cours de ces dernières années. Les différents arguments qu'ont fait valoir les partisans et les détracteurs du projet sont condus de tous. Il est inutile d'y reveuir. Nous nous réservons cependant de dire quel. ques mots sur un point fort délicat: celui qui a trait au marché à terme. C'est là une question très épineuse qui a donné lieu, croyons-nous, de vives controverses au sein de la Commission judiciaire. Le projet' gouvernemental, qui a été fort modifié depois, provoquait la validation de tous les marchés à terme, alors même que dans l'intention des parties, ils devaient se résoudre par le paienient de simples différences. Or, franchement, nous estimons qu'une pa reille disposition est pour le moins risquée-dangereuse même dans un pays comme le notre oh la fièvre de jen rgne parmi la population et ou les occasions de spéculer sont à la portée de tout le monde. Nous ne sonimes point partisans de l'exeeption de jeu, mais il nous parait que la liberté de conclure des marchés à terme devrait être soumise à de sages restrictions et ce dans l'intérêt de tous, Toutes les opérations terme ne constituent pas nécessairement du jeu et nous retenons que la Loi devrait envisager différemment les marebés à livrer, tels que ceux que contracte le producteur vendant sa récolte future et les opérations purement différentielles de nos boursiers, ou toute idée de livraison de marchandise demeure naturellement exclue. Celles-ci sont des opérations fictives et partant illicites, celles-là sont honnêtes et légitimes. C est là une l'intenti marches provoquait in qui a été for Ne pourrait on pas établir dans le Code une distinction entre ces deux opérations d'un caractère si différent. On a vu quels sont les résultats de cette spécalation effrénée dont les excès ont amené la déroute dans nos · Bourses et compromis um instant le crédit de l'Egypte. Nous espérons que la commission judiciaire voudra bien s'inspirer, dans l'élaboration défi. nitive de son projet, de l'expérience acquise ces derniers temps. En Angleterre, en Allemagne, en Belgique et sillenrs, la Justice applique résolument l'exception de jeu chaque fois que l'intention initiale et commune des parties de jouer résulte de l'ensemble des circonstances, Pourquoi vouloir valider ce genre d'opérations ici en Orient, pays classique du baccarat!
Les graines sont en reprise sensible. Il existe parait-il, un découvert en marchandises et les chargements pour le début de février sont très considérables. Le Mars & clôturé ce soir à 79 25/40 soit en avance de P.T. 2. et demie et le Mai à 81 15/40. Les exportations atteignent cette huitaine 642,925 ardebs contre 834,987 l'année dernière Les arrivages ne sont par contre que de 64,231 contre 72,828 ardebs

Alexandrie, le 24 Janvier apa arquer la rarerne et hausgidrabercredi od LA SEMAINE Lundi, après un débat très animé, notre marché s'est calmé en cours de séance pour finir cependant à un niveau supérieur à celui de vendredi dernier. Nombre de valeurs, qui étaient depuis longtemps négligées, sont rove nues en faveur. Il n'y a pas eu de changement le lendemain, sauf un certain ralentissement dans les tradsactions. De plus, l'allure était moins uniforine: pour quelques titres favorisés par les marchés européens ou poussés par la spécalation locale il y avait nouvelle avance, tandis que pour d'autres moins importants et moins nombrens la faiblesse continuait à prévaloie. Dans lensemble, pourtant, si les affaires s'étaientelques peu raréfiées, on pouvait considére la cote comme soutenue et la tendance génale comme favorable. Cet état n'a fait que s'accentuer mercredi od avec une cote ferme et baussière, on a pa remarquer la rareté des échanges, limitée une petite catégorie de titres. Ceux d'une certaine envergure ont été complètemenné gligés, excepté toutefois la Daïra et l'Obligation Crédit Foncier. Hier enfin nous avons assisté à une réaction attribuée par les uns à des réalisations et par les autres au principe de bourse d'après lequel une série de hansees est presque toujours suivie d'une baisse plus ou moins accentuée. Il s'agissait plutôt d'un retour mom ne de méfiance, puisqu'il a suffi de qu e s vandeurs pour faire évanouir aussitôt l beteurs des journées précédentes. Cette sière de voir semble corroborée par le reviretdent haussier de ce matin, déterminé par les achats du Caire et les excellentes nouvelles ventes d'Europe. L'activité a gagné une grande partie de la cote sur laquelle on a pa enregistre plusieurs plus-values appréciables. Bref, la clôture du marché est bonne et la tendance du moment favorable. Si le Cairs que nous étions depuis longtemps habitués à voir nous inonder d'ordres de vente, continue réabsorber en partie les paquets jetés sur notre place, il y a lieu de prévoir de ce fait un ad. juvant sérieux à la reprise dans les excel antes dispositions surtout où semble entrer le marché monétaires. FLUCTUATIONS DE LA COTE. Une des variations les plus intéressantesble la semaine est sans contredit l'avance de la National Bank de 20 7/8. 22, ce qui ne peut pas dire que le titre sit donné lieu AMOR vement quelconque. La base telle quelle nous est venue da Stock Exchange et notre corbeille n'a contribué qu'indirectement à la progression par l'abstention à peu près com plète des vendeurs. Il en a été de même pour la Daira, en bénéfice de 11/16 A 141/16 Une autre avance plus ou moins inattendue Après la dépreciation interrompue de om der niers temps est celle de l'Obligation Crédit Foncier de 280 & 294. On avait même atteint 304 à un moment donné Ces oscillations sont attribuées au parti qu'a tiré les spéculation des démarches faites par les administrateur en vue d'obtenir du Gouvernement égyptienne ayantée de 2 millions de livres en Consolid des conditions avantageuses pour At L'Obligation nouvelle a gagné de son te 5 fr. 50. . La Building lands, qui avait atteint 15/8. a fini à 1 1/2 vendeurs, ce qui constitue une avance de 9/32 pour ls semaine. La pohite réaction de la fin provient sans doute de quel que réalisatious déterminées par la basso rapide de ces jours derniers Beancoup de tapage a été fait ce matin antour de la Cassa di Sconto, qui vient de con voquer l'assemblée des actionnaires pour egten dre le rapport des liquidateurs. S'il ten croire un bruit répandu en bourse, leal tats dépasseraient les prévisions les ple temistes, la répartition aurait lieu sur de 100 franes par action, sauf complios imprévues d'ici-là C'est à cause de cote ru ment que le prix est monté de 7 franck à 58. C'est bien pen, si la nouvelle a quelque fonde ment. A signaler encore une demande de Paris en Land Bank qui, ayant fléchi depuis, termine avec 1/16 d'avance seulement. Les arbitragistes avec Paris ont manipale également le Crédit Franco Egyptien, qui finit pour le même motit avec 1/8 de hausse à 4 5/32. Il y a 1/4 de différence en Ramleh Railway. mais de chiffre étant inférieur au mont do coupon distribué, il y a en réalité une plusvalue en faveur de ce titre. Les Batates qui ont été l'objet d'une demande su Caire, ont bénéficis de ce chef de 1/16. L'United, apals avoir joui d'un instant de vogue à cause de l'arrangeinent intervenu entre la société et ses créanciers; est tetgunbée dans le marasme. Sar l'annonce que te coupon de cette année serait inférieur à celui de l'année miere, l'Agricole a été viotime d'un peu de raise humeur. Mais, grâce aux efforts d'un ti au moment de la cotation, elle a été poussée ce matin 1/32 au dessus de la cloture de ven dredi passé, soit à 7 25/32. En prévision sans doute de tirage d'amortis sement qui doit avoit lieu le 1er février prochain, les Lots Tares paguent s franos à 171. C'est une dee aree valeur qui plano au-dessus de la crise, sans avoir été touchée par elle Des offres ont ramené les Nungovic Hotels de 13 1/2 à 13 et la Nile Land de 7 3/44 7 1/4, soit une baisse respective d'une demi-livre Les Bière d'Alexandrie perdent également fraues les Privilégiées et 5 franes les Dividendaex prix de 95 et 60 francs. L'Alexandria Water gagne, au contraire, 1/4 & 10 1/2 ACtions de Capital Baux de Caire 4 fra 104 La spéculation, qui avait récemmend yound l'Urbaine, semble l'avoir abandonné son malhamos cont. Le prix notions de 8 1/4 a 3. A signaler encore la Delta Light qui gagne 6/99, la Bohdas 1/8, l'Anglo-American Nile et le Comptoir 1/16, los Sueteries 2 francs, la Banque d'Orient 2 frs. 50. D'entre part, los Privilégiées Tramways et la Banque d'Athenes reculent de 1 franc, les parts de Jovissa DOO Baux du Caire de 9 francs, l'Ordinary Khedivial Mail de 9 pence, l'Union Fonoidre de 1/8 et l'Aboukir de 9 pence. Les autres changements n'ont pas d'importance. SUR LE MARORES EUROPRENE. Les marchés européens ont largement contribué cette semaine, en soutien de nos prix. Pour quelques ana la hanse provient uniquement de Stock Exchange, od ls National Bank, par exemple, avance de 7/8, la Daïra de 3/4 et la Delta Light de 1/4 ; l'Agricole gagne seulement 1/8. A Paris l'action Crédit Foncier Egyptien progresse da Srengs à 120, la Land Renk de 2 frs, a 191 et le Crédit Franco-Egyptien de 6 frs. 50 à 107.50. Quant a la situation monétaire, dont la de tente a si heureusement influencé notre place, elle ne fait que s'améliorer. Le taux privé d'escompte tombe en Angleterre de 4 3/8 3 5/8% et le taux officiel de la Banque d'Angleterre de 5 à 4%. Une réduction non moins importante c'est celle du taux de la Banque de France de 3 1/2 à 3%. Il est & espérer, après ou diminutions simultanée des taux d'escompte en Europe que nos banques locales exigeront des intérêts moins élevés, ce qui alors nous vaudra un serieux appoint pour le marché des valeurs. SUCRERIES ET RAFFINERIE D'EGYPTE D'une étude parue dans l'Information " de Paris sur les Sucreries et Raffinerie d'Egypte : Les résultats de l'exercice 1906-1907 que le conseil communiquera au mois de mars prochain a l'assemblée générale, justifient brillamment | la légitimité des efforts faits. Les bénéfices industriels, grâce à la rédaction des frais généraux et du siège social, à la décentralisation des services divers autrefois concentrés d Minieh, à la modification heureuse appottée à la convention passée il y a 5 ans avec le gouvernement au sujet des tarits de transport, grâce enfin à uneexploitation bien conduite, s'élèvent) environ à 2.200.000 francs permettant de reporter à nouveau environ 1.200.000 francs une fois l'annuité des obligations hypothécaires payée, ce qui d'ailleurs jusqu'en 1909 constitue la seule charge à laquelle la Société ait à faire face. Les marchés en cours assurent pour l'exercice prochain une production égale, et par suite un bénéfice égal. Poursuivant ses efforts, la Société a réussia proroger pour quatre ans les contrats jusqu'à présent bi-annuels qu'elle passait avec les fellahs pour ses approvisionnements de canne ; elle s'est ainsi assuré, grâce au développement de la culture qu'elle a su provoquer, une quantité de matières premières, la mettant à même d'augmenter de moitié sa production actuelle. On est donc en droit de prévoir pour l'exercice 1909 et 1910 on bénéfice supérieur ' 3.000.000 de francs LES RESPONSABILITES DE LA CRISE Les banques ont joué un grand rôle dans la crise égyptienne en accordant d'abord des crédits bien supérieurs à cenx que méritaient les clients, pais e resserrant tout à coup ces crédits de façon à entrainer des faillites. Un des exemples les plus suggestifs de cette condaite financière est celui offert par la faillite Naggar-Afif. Voici à ce sujet les chiffres que nous extrayons du rapport du syndic deposé au greffe Commercial du tribunal mixte du Caire. Capital de la maison Naggat Afif au 31.19.06 PT 4.048 765,34 Bilan idid. 37.547.611,76 Montant des créances des Banques inscrites an passif de la faillite, an. 7.12.07 62.029.549 Créances irrecouvrables > 7.000.000 Le rapprochement entre ces chiffres démon tre qu'avec un capital relativement modeste, la maison Naggar Athif pouvait faire des affai res très considérables. Ce résultat était at teint : 1") par le crédit ouvert par les Banques la dite maison sans garantie ; 2') par le systême des tirages trois mois renouvelés sans cesse : 3") par le placement en gage près des Banques des titres appartenant aux clients. En examinant l'analyse de la situation de la faillite faite par le syndie on trouve que, aux environs da nois de mai, toutes les banques ont commencé à resserrer le crédit et à réclamer des couvertures à MN. Naggar Afhf. Au mois de Juin, ce resserrement de crédit a déja porte ses effets: les faillis ne pouvant pas faire face aux exigences des banques, se trouvent menacés de recours en justice la faillite prononcée au mois de décembre fixe la sospension des payements au commencement d'aotit. La succession de ces dates est la preuve éloquente, ceci soit dit sans alcune intention de justifier les faillis, que la rgine de la maison Naggar Afif & té le serrement du crédit des Banques locales og étrangères. Si d'un côté on ne peut blamer les banques d'avoir ainsi quoique tardivement assaini leur compte d'avances, on ne peut que s'étonner de leur complaisance passée et se demander comment des établissements chargés de régler le crédit ont pu sortir ainsi de leur rôle en favori sant la spéculation qu'elles ont ensuite abandonnée au moment critique.

I grew weak and emaciated and was tortured with insomnia. I was treated by eminent physicians but, if anything, was worse than ever, In fnet, I was in as miserable a condo as an toan could be. llowever, I chikneed to try Peruna and it suits me. Thus encouraged, I continued, and after taking several bottles of your precious Peruna, I was entirely well and won. der to myself and friends. "If, at my advanced age, 89 years 1 have obtained such good results from Peruna, after so many years of needless suffering, there can be no doubt of its privacy in the treatment of younger Pernias."
