Alexandria, Egypt, Dec. 22.-
Germany is increasing her exports
to Egypt, and it is felt here that
she has virtually recaptured the
Egyptian market.
Orders which previously went
to Japan are now secured by Ger
man firms. She exercises an al
most unchallenged monopoly In
synthetic dyes, toys and pianos,
and has a predominating position
in the field OF pencils, paper,
glass, chinaware, cutlery, leather
goods, small metal manufactures,
cotton hosiery, small mirrors and
hardware. All these articles have
been dumped into the Rgyptian
market on a scale and at prices
that have defied competition.
