The United Kingdom has long lead
in supplying cotton goods. but this is
due to the general lead which British
cotton mills have all over the world.
Egyptian trade with France has va
ried from s15,o0O.o00 to S26.000,O00 an
nually during the last five years.
France takes great deal of the nne
Egyptian cotton and part of the
5000, 900 onion crop In return she
sends fine textiles, liquors, flour and
products. fine leather goods and auto
mobiles. Flour has Amounted to $o.0OO, :
900, though some of 1t was from other
countries and was transshipped at Mar
seille.
Russia in exchange for Egyptian
cotton, sends -four, beet sugar. tobacco.
lumber and a few miscellaneous prod
ucts.
The trade with Turkey has been
chiefly an import trade. with a ten
million dollar balance in Turkeys ia
yor. since the Ottoman empire in
Europe and in Asia has required little
Egyptian cotton.
Turkey has supplied livestock and
dairy products. lumber, tobacco, soap
fresh fruit and vegetables. olive oil and

Notwithstanding the impression that
all Egyptian coffee comes from Ara abia
it is worth passing mention that the
importations from the Arabian section
of Turkey amount to less than 100000
out of total imports of s2,5O0,000
Brazil supplies 20 per cent of the So
called Turkish coffee consumed in
Egypt 1t is Brazilian coffee slightly
blended with the Arabian product that
is served in the famous cafes OF Alex
andra and Cairo.
Italy has a very satisfactory trade
with Egypt. Some of this is in the
way of merchandise to supply the large
Italian colony which is engaged in bust
ness there. This accounts for certain
food products, Yet the bulk of the i'm
ports from Italy Gre cotton and wooden
goods while the exports are almost

white and purple, though bare of
foliage, stand in many of the pub
lie parks and private gardens of Wash
ington, and have been the object of
much attention and admiration. 1t has
been thus for many springs. Before
the leaves of other trees unfold and
even before their own leaf-buds swell
enough to show tinge of green these
strange trees are clothed in gorgeous
bloom
Nearly everybody knows these flower
ing trees as magnolias. but specific
knowledge of them does not extend far
inasmuch as the general public is con-
cerned. They are so different in habit
and appearance from the magnolia
trees with which most Americans are
pleasantly acquainted that merely to
call them magnolias does not convey
much information to the person unread
in botany. The blossom of the .masno
liza which Americans SO much esteem
is always white. and it is flower of
rare and wonderful fragrance, where
as the white pink or purple flowers of
these early-blooming magnolias are
without perfume. Yet they are mag
nolias.
They are natives of Asia. Charles
Sprague Sargent. who. as director of
the Arnold arboretum OF Harvard Uni
Versity. prepared a massive publicatioa
on the sylvia of North America" makes
reference to these Scentless magnoliaS
of the far east. He says that there
are twenty known species of magnolia
confined 10 the eastern parts of North
America, to southern Mexico and to
eastern and southern Asia.
Once in the history of the world this
tree was more widely distributed than
it is now. for its fossil rema ms have
been found in the great plains of the
United States. in the arctic circle. in
Greenland and in central Europe. The: &c
are six North American species having
their center of distribution in the
southern Allegheny region. and these
are the trees which most Americans
know. There are ten species in eastern
Asia and a great number of hybrids of
these.
1t is from these species that nave
been drawn the early blooming trees
which gladden. the eye in the Wash
ington parks. The magnolia tree is so
called because Plumier, a great French
botanist. established the genus aid
named it magnolia in memory of an
other great French botanist. He was

The most striking of these oriental
nagnolias in Washington are the Mag

mountain forests of northern Japan:

In Washington may also be found by
brids of these three species.

This situation has been somewhat

some relief will be afforded, because
cotton may be shipped to the Black

war continues to the end of the cotton
season, it may or may not be $780,,

Because of the demand for her cotton
the exports always exceed the imports,
the excess being from S23.000,000 to
$3.50 900. This favorable balance of
trade offsets. the interest payment on
the public debt and also the returns
on foreign investments which are re-
