THE PARLIAMENT THE FINEST BUILDINGS IN AFRcl

Cape Town is the gate to this end of the continent and for more than 200 years 1t has been the chief door through Which the whites have gone in and out. It has now in the neighborhood of 100000 people, and is one of the fine little cities of the world. Laid out as a Dutch town In avenues running from Table mountain to the sea and crossed by other streets at right angles, it's old Boer buildings are gradually disappearing, and it has now shops and streets which would do credit to the largest cities of the United States. It has a postoffice structure which sur passes in size that of any American city Of twice its population and Its parliament houses are perhaps the finest buildings in Africa. They were erected some years ago at cost of mre than g, ,000, 900. They are of the renaissance style with porticos upheld by Corinthian columns and are surrounded by beautiful gardens, in which a marble statue of Queen Victoria stands at the front Each of the houses has a floor space as large as that of the house of commons in England, and the build ing contains a throne room, showing the allegiance of the country to the King. The parliament which meets here is that of Cape Colony, and 1t governs this vast territory, comprising the best of the lands south of the Transvaal, including Kim berley and its diamonds and also the chief sheep and cattle growing, fruit raising and ostrich farming parts of this con tinent
 Business In South Africa.
 Cape Town is largely the business capi- tai of South Africa It has the head quarters of all the big banks and of the chief exporting and importing firms. An derley street, the principal thoroughfare, is lined with big business blocks, and there is a wholesale section which has many fine buildings.
 During my stay here I have had talks with some of the leading financiers 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 re- cent panic and depression in the United States have seriously affected the dia- mond mines and have led to the discharge of thousands of hands There are many other men out of employment and not a few of the business men are mortgaged up to their eyes
 It seems to me that times cannot but continue bad in South Africa for good while to come. Just before tb , war the conditions were excellent, and during 1t prosperity reigned. The people here are naturally as optimistic as we are and they have all the push and energy of a people developing 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 were then com paratively fixed and they could rely on meeting their bills. As long as the strug- gle continued England's purse-strngs were opened and money flowed like water.

, GOO sheep. 100000 goats. 100000 cattle and 500000 horses and mules. The farn- CTS tell me that there is some money
 in horse raising, as the country does not raise enough for it's own needs. The mar ket price of draft horses is now $l00 and upward.
 The chief stock now grown here are sheep and goats. The climate and feed make excellent wool, and the mohair is especially good. The country is now ex- porting something like Sl6,O0000O worth of wool annhally and it's mohair brings the highest prices. l am told that there are S,0v0,090 Angora goats in the colony, and that good ones are now selling for upward of $5 apiece
 As to the sheep, they remind me of those of Australia. They are Merinos which were brought here centuries ago from Spain and which formed the start of the Australian stock. There is also d common cape sheep which thrves well The farms are largely in the Karoo The sheep are usually kept in large focSs single farmers having as many as 10,ooO each.
