cotton in New York can only say that
| have purchased contracts on the New
York Cotton Exchange and have ar
ranged to accept the cotton on these
contracts. The New York Cotton EX-
change has always claimed tnat its
contracts represented actual cotton
and that there would be delivered ac-
tual cotton when contracts were pur-
chased. The southern mills have SIM
ply found ii to their interest to buy
these contracts and expect the cotton
and the New York Exchange owes it to
itself to see that the cotton is deliver
ed. There has long been i'm my mind
view that the effect of extreme spec
ulative selling cotton contracts was
to depress the price Of spot cotton, and
| have felt that the only way To teach
those who sold what they didn't nave
a lesson was for the spinners who need
cotton tn buy contracts on the eX-
change. This year conditions were
such that the mills VINO needed cotton
much, as cotton was selling considera-
bly, cheaper on the New .'Ork Exchange
than it sold in the south were justified
in buying on the exchange. Besides
that 1t has been to the interest of the
spinners to maintain a steady price for
cotton and to prevent the extreme fiuc-
tuations which have appeared from
time to time"

So we have reached the Opera
Square and the pretty garden laid out
so carefully close by. On our right / V
lies new Cairo, the quarter which might
be in any European city, with its hand =
some blocks of flats, its wide roads and
we'll laid sidewalks, bordered by way
ing palms which stand out so sharply
against the clear blue sky. On our left
are the native districts, the warrens
Of narrow lanes and alleys where the
mass Of the population live. Most peO-
pie think OF Cairo as a pleasure city,
where there are dances every night in
vast and luxurious hotels: where one
can play golf and lawn tennis and polo,
and go to race meetings and give tea
parties, and enjoy the sunshine with
ont altering ones way of life to any
noticeable extent. That is an import
ant side Of Cairo, no doubt. 1t brings
in much money. and it helps on the
process Of westernizatiOn.
But do not forget that Cairo is 4
great city with life which goes on en-
tirely Independent of its winter butter
flies. 1t is the largest city in Africa.
It's native population alone numbers
nearly three quarters of million. 1t
is among them that we shall find the
strangest contrasts after all.-LondOn
