Cotton Culture In Egypt.

10 the Editor of The Hcrnld and News:
10 those Of your readers who still
fondly Imagine that "totton is King"
| or that the South still holds u monopo-
~ OF cotton culture, the following uc-
count Of tho rapid increase of cotton
production in Egypt may be OF inter
est. This account is Il resume of an
article in The Forum Of February, by
MIR. Pcnlicld, late U. S. Consul Cen
cral in Egypt After referring to the
prediction years ago Of Sir Samuel
Baker the great African explorer, that
the entire "Nubian desert might be
transformed into q vast cotton field
whose harvcsts would go far to render
England Independent OF the cotton sup
ply from the United Statcs;" it pro-
cccds rs follows:
"Alrcady, indeed, tho lower Nile
valley is Il productive cotton field and
undcr the British occupation the area
under cultivation has doubled. The
new irrigation works which are con-
tinual'y being constructed cnublo
larger areas to Inc planted, and the
yield is steadily increasing. The f.gyp-
tian cotton has II SPECIAL value on the
market, owing TO the exceptional length
OF its fiber, and last years crop Of ,00O,-
600 bales I have seen It stated else
where ut 100000 bules) was sold at
two cents per pound more than was
realized for American upland cotton.
"Thc Egyptian cotton is extensively
used both in Europe and in this coun-
try, our importation amounting annual
ly to about l00,00o bales. 10 this ud-
vantage in quality must be added the
fact that the Egyptian climate is par
ticularly suitable 10 the raising Of cot
ton, tho average crop being about $50
pounds 0int) rcracrc Labor, moreover,
IS cheap, wages averaging only about
! eighteen cents per day for each hand.
With this high yield, high market
price and small cost of labor it, is not
| surprising To learn that about 500 900,
600 are realized from the cotton crou
alone. II is probable that a large lu-
| crease in this amount will result from
| the increased acreage which is being
| brought under cultivation on tho Milo
| dclta.'
| To this account OF Mr.. PcnGcld may
add that the Anglo-Egyplian army is
| still advancing up the Nile, will doubt
less at an carly day occupy Chartoum
and the Eastern Sondan, thus opening
new and enormous cotton producing
| region to commerce. Tho SOudun is OF
| vast extent and said, even in its barba-
roGs condition, to produce the finest
grades of cotton. Considering then the
various fields already producing co,ton,-
| India, Central Asia, Brazil, Peru, etc.
capable Of increasing indefinitely tho
production, it is difficult to imagine
| how Intelligent cotton growers at the
South can continue to hug The tlclusion
| that they still hold Il monopoly OF the
worlds cotton market, and that bv
| some kind Of combination Cr trust they
may regulate and control the prices.
The sooner they get rid of such dclu.
sion and accept the inevitable and com.
mon sense law of "supply and demand :
the better it will bc for them and fol
our SOuJharn country. B. Q. d.

coral reef would require removal before a

THE disadvantages of these long reaches
between coaling stations are obvious. A
vessel must carry more coal and conse-
quently could carry less cargo. At the same
time there is a large volume Of business that
the canal would get without competing with
the Suez route. The trade from the Allan

be expected to go this way; so would a great

portation rates by rail are so high as to
make it Improbable. Thus the Pacific states

charges are too great. The Pacific coast is
a great wheat country; it Is a region rich
