The grass is thin, and it is estimated
that every head of cattle will need from
10 to 20 acres and every sheep ono or

land will be required.
AT present the colony has about L.
1000 sheep, 100000 goats, 100000
cattle and $4,000 horses and mules. The
farmers tell me that there is some
money in horse raising. as the country

make excellent wool, and the mohair is
especially good. The country is now ex-
porting something like s10,000,000 worth
Of wool annually. and its mohair brings
the highest prices. / am told that there
are 3,000000 Angora goats in the colony,
and that good ones are now selling for
upwards of S. apiece.
AS to the sheep, they remind me of
those of Australia. They are Merinos.

from Spain and which formed the start

perhaps the finest buildings in At

BUSINESS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Cape Town is largely the business
capital of South Africa. IT has the
headquarters of all the big banks and
of the chief importing and exporting
firms. Aderley street the principal
thoroughfare, is lined with big bust
ness blocks, and there is 81 wholesale
section which has many fine build
ings.
During my stay here have had
talks with some Of the leading flnan-
ciers as to the financial conditions of
this part of the world. Business is
still bad and it has been SO since the
Boer war. The recent panic and de-
preston in the United States have
seriously affected the diamond mines
and have led to the discharge of
thousands Of hands. There are many
other men out of employment and
not Il few of the business men are
nlortgascd up to their eyes.
1t seems to me that times cannot
but continue bad in South Africa for
q good while to come. Just before
the war the conditions were excellent.
and during it prosperity reigned The
people here are naturally as optnis-
tic as we are and they have all the
push and energy of people developing
q new country When times are good
they borrow all the money they can,
and bet on the future. Before the
war much of their business was done
on credit, but conditions We're then
comparatively fixed and they could
rely on meeting their bills. AS long
as the struggle continued lIngland's
purse-stringS were opened and money
flowed like water. Business was
doomed to correspond with the new
conditions. Many buildings were
erected in all the cities. and especially
in Cape Town. Durham and johannes
burg. New ships were brought into
carrying trade, new institutions of all
| kinds created. and wages alh eXpen-
| SEES already high, We're enormously
| increased. Then the war ended and
| the soldiers left, The money flood was
| succeeded by a money drouth and
| the creditors began to ask for pay
ment OF their bills. This caused
| failures in all departments of trade,
| the tide of immigration turned the
other way and thousands We're thrown

and houses became vacant, the prices

THE CAPITAL OF SOUTH AFRICA.
But let us go down and take walk
through this capital of South Africa.
Cape Town is the gate to this end OF
the continent and for more than two
hundred years 1t has been the chief
door through which the whites have
gone in and out 1t has now in the
