scriptions firm rates have been paid, while grocery
qualities at auction went steadily. Several floating
cargoes have changed hands for the United King-
dom. The sales of coffee have gone off at fully the
previous value for coloury kinds of Ceylon and East

scarcely maintained former price&

tensive network of railways in Turkey have now
been taken in hand. A corps of engineers have
already proceeded to Constantinop!e, whence, i❑ ten
divisious, they will complete their inspection of the
proposed route (about 1,200 miles in length). Ne-
gotiations are still pending with the Turkish Go-

successful, may eventually become the overland
route to India.
