 pecially foreigners, pay very little at tention to the political situation. They admit, of course, that the unsettled conditions of year ago. as well as the general lack of knowledge of what
 the future holds for Egypt, is deter rent to free commercial intercourse.
 The chief cause for business worry at this writing is the decline in cot ton prices plus the general interna- tional slump in trade The two events coming at the same time work mor8 than ordinary hardship to the business life of Egypt
 people in Egypt realized that the trade of the world was in a bad state; that prices were failing the whole world over, and that there was gen era stagnation in buying But, he continued, ''other countries have usually more than one industry upon which to exist. Here in Egypt we must live or die at the whim of King Cotton This whim is not left in our power to control. We grow the cot ton, and Lancashire and Manchester. as well as your big tire fabric centers at home, manipulate the buying price. of course, every one in Egypt with grain of common sense, realizes that the law of supply and demand rules; but, depending as it does upon one industry, the business life of the community is mora or less left open to unusual perils when that one in- dustry fails"
