AMERICANS WANT
 EGYPTIAN BUSINESS
Seek Trade in Africa Which
 European Nations Had

Cairo, Oct. 25.-American business men in Egypt are fighting to retain the trade between America and Egypt which was developed during the war when the nations of Europe were too busy to attend to their foreign trade. This wartime trade gave American exporters a foothold but since the war. European competition has been resumed.
 The establishment of an agency in Egypt of the United States Shipping Board, followed closely by the open ing of branches of the American Ex- press company, has stimulated and encouraged the American colony here. Individual Americans have created local American firms in association with Egyptian business men to pro- mote trade with America and have created the organization necessary to handle the interests of American manufacturers and shipowners.
 < The recently organized American Chamber of Comerce is exerting every e1ort to assist American business interest to meet the keen European competition and to maintain the en- viable position secured during the past years.
 Prior to 1914, the United States was commercially small factor in Egypt's trade. During the war when Egypt was cut off from the manu- facturing centers of Central Europe and the Egyptian importer turned to America and Japan. American goods flowed into Egypt and the buying pub lie became familiar with American products. This marked the first step in the development of Americas trade with Egypt
 War prices for cotton greatly en- riched the country and America bene- fitted by the increased importations of luxuFies, especially of automobiles ard by a good business in wheat and flour.
 The enormous increase in business compelled the American tire manufac- tnrers to buy large quantities of the long staple Egyptian cotton import ing in 1919-192o over 250,o bales The English coal strikes brought big few years America was ushered in as the opportunist to play an important role in Egyptian trade.
 By 1919 American exporters real hed somewhat the importance of tn Egyptian market, and some export houses established branches in Alex aaldria and Cairo. Inexperience and the world crisis combined to defeat these attempts of the American ex- porters in many cases, but interest has been aroused and American trade is active in keeping it's foothold.

Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt sr. is to

will take home seven blocks to the
east, whore her garden will slope down

The new Vanderbilt home will be at
Fifty seventh Street and Sutton llace,
a little, half forgotten thoroughfare
between First Avenue and the bluff
which skirts the East River at this
point. Sutton Square, at the intt~-
section Of the two streets, is to be ye-
claimed by colonists from Fifth Ave-
nuc and made into kinl Of exalted
"Pomander Walk" surrounded by
houses of English type. which VIII cost
half million or so apiece.
Webb Helped in Discovery
Sutton Square was discovered last
summer by Mrs. Vanderbllts nephew
", Seward Webb, Robert c. Knapp and
Eliot Cross. They were motoring across
the Quecnsboro Bridge when they caught
glimpse Of green almost on the rivers
shore. in the midst of the squulld slruc-
lures which almost fill the nelrhbor-

would take them to Mattice, news Of
their approach will precede them by
about five hours, it is believed. Parties
nave set out to meet them both from

send swift couriers back as soon as
either meets the aeronauts. These
