Past this quarter, SO modern and

the famous drive around Gizerah once

which Is also one Of the oldest Chris
tan churches in the world. In the
cellar Of this church is a great, black
hole, which, when I visited it, was filled
with water, and here they tell you
the Virgin Mary hid with the infant
Jesus in their flight into Egypt.
Through Old Cairo you must also
pass on your excursion to the Isle Of
Rhoda, where the infant Moses was
found care not the bulrushes still
there) and where is a very ancient
palace, with broad marble terrace sur
rounded by beautiful gardens.
To me Arab Cairo is most familiar,
for in 1t I live, move and have my
being. 1t seems strange on awaken
ing each morning to hear from be-
hind my room the cries Of "moga"
(water), and the voices Of the Arabs
singing in the garden below, but to
even this one grows used In time. -
In leaving the Hotel du MI one must
pass through the Mouski, narrow
street paved with asphalt, and full
Of an endless fascination one never
tires of seeing the vendors of water
and fruit, with their huge jars and
trays, the yelled women darklv robed
and the men in their flowing gar
ments. The street is always full of
people, representing all nations; and
every tongue is spoken. The confus-
ion of Babel is reproduced, and where
the street ends in the square leading
into European Cairo, the tumult is
overpowering.
Near this corner are the Esbehiah
gardens, where the poorer classes go

fields of cotton; here and there a palm
or fig tree stands alone, but the soft
feecy cotton and the glowing colors
of the roses fill most Of the landscape,
and above is the deep, blue, smiling
sky.
Beyond the palace and the tiny vii
lage Of Matarayah is the famous tree
under which the virgin was said to
have rested. About it they have plant

lists would carry the tree off, bit by bit,
save for this protection. It is q
gnarled old fig tree, and has an ap-
pearance Of great age, which lends be-
lief to the story.
Still further on lies the ancient city

On this drive, too, are both the

IN ARAB CAIRO.

Special Correspondence of the Globe
CAIRO, Jan. 19.-In the center OF
Arab Cairo, behind the Mouski, the
largest Arab street, lies the Hotel du
Nil" This for the present is my home.
1t Is charming place, built In true
Orient fashion about a tropic garden
filled with palms, mandarin and ban
ana trees. and roses Of every size and
color. Nature here Is very prodigal Of
her colors and produces the most
beautiful effects.
The hotel itself is built Of stone from
the Macedon or desert hills and COW
cred with plaster On stucco painted in
wide stripes Of white and terra Gotta.
Most of the houses here are built
of these materials and painted in vari-
Gus tints; the fronts of some are COL
ored to represent marble, but this
gives a notified appearance and does
not present a pleasing effect.
The homes Of the very poor are hoy

seen the projecting balconies of Mouse

appearing in the shops of the mer-

are narrow and plain; in those Of the

Cairo proper is divided into three
quarters: Old Cairo, which, as its
name implies, is the Oldest historic
quarter; Arab Cairo. the region Of the
Sszaars and marrow streets, and Eu-
ropean Cairo, whicNis much like any
continental city, with its wide streets
paved with wood and its large hotels

Its banks and on the opposite side Of
the road are great sycamore trees, their
branches almost meeting overhead.
Along this drive is the Museum Of
Gizeh, the finest in Egyptian antiqui-
ties in the world, with geological gar
dens close by. The museum was an
other of Ismail Pasha's numerous pal
aces, and the gardens were part of
Its vast ground, but are separated now.

The trip by moonlight Is inexpressibly
beautiful, the surrounding land cover

the moonbeams. The first view Of the
pyramids Is apt to be disappointing

lions. One needs to see them several
times to be duly impressed with their
grandeur.
OF the sphynx I will not speak. The
subject has been exhausted.
From the great pyramid to the tombs
OF Sakkarah, the ancient Memphis, is
another ten-mile ride. One cannot
drive, must ride through the desert on
camels. Perhaps you imagine that
would be amusing. Try 1t. Do you en-

preparation. But I am DEPRESSING: I

Chicago Change.

Chicago, H., July 21.-Todays session of the board of trade was absolutely the dull est in many weeks, the pit at times being practically deserted by traders In wheat the governing influence was the New York stock market. The talent said that the un- certainty arising from the existing political conditions was the main spring upon which the movement of trade depended and vent ures of moment would not be undertaken. September wheat opened at 565sQ66s4c, and closed at 564 6567sc, 19c higher than yester- day. Cash wheat was strong with a good demand and 1sQ&4c higher and 1ac over Sep tember.
 Corn-The weather was bearish for corn and the country offerings were large in consequence The feature was the covering by the shorts and selling by the elevator people. September corn opened at 2SAc, sold between 2S12 and 261s@264c, closing at 26HM26asc, yesterdays figures Cash corn was easy and Ac lower.
 Oats-General debility was in command and judging from the appearance of the pit an electric battery was necessary to put life into the trade. September oats closed 1sc lower than yesterday. The cash market was stronger and 14c higher, with a good demand for old grain.
 Proysions-There was almost a panicky feeling in provisions, with all sorts of pro- ducts at a low price on the general decline per barrel, which is almost the lowest price ever touched for this product-$6021a last July Ribs and lard followed suit in the record play, and declined to nearly the low est figures ever made. September pork closed 15c lower, September lard 7lsc lower and September ribs 50l7lac lower.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

Cotton Letter.

New York, July 21.-(Special. .)-The cotton market was decidedly more lively today. In the forenoon it was weaker but in the af- ternoon there was spasm or short cover ing which lifted prices or 10 points above the lowest of the day, but the advance was only partly maintained. January opened at 6.T declined to 6.24, advanced to 6.33 and closed at 629, with the tone barely steady. The attitude of Liverpool and the character of the crop reports to come in will deter mine the course of prices tomorrow.
 In the present sensitive condition of the market we expect fluctuations within a limit of 10 or 15 points rather than any more decided change in either direction. For the present we favor buying on slumps and sales on rallies.
