ment in Egyptian financial matters.
The Egyptian Statistical Tableaa p"

country's prosperity. The expoIts II

900, and in 1876 $50, 900, 900, fell last

her crops constitute the whole of her

sugar were all short OF the average,

$50, 900 ardebs In 1877 to CO, 900 IN
1873, and of beans from $50, 0G0
t. 300, 900. The imports, rather
curiously, were about the same ns
usual, being $25, 600. 600, as against
$22, 800, 900 In 1877. The advef-
sity is mainly due TO the Nile. Ia
1877 the Iiver was very deficient, and
1888 pays for the deficiency. Tie

A LETTER from a citizen of this
place, nov IN Coleman City, dated the
twenty second of June, says that coun-
ty ia one Of the prettlest he has ever
seen, but it is sparsely settled. There
are many attractions for immigrants
and those looking for new locations.
He also says that it has been raioing
in that county for week up to the
time he wrote and it has benefited the
crops very much. The rain secured q
partial crop of corn and the prospect
of cotton Is very flattering in that por-
ton of the county.
