Business men in Egypt, especially foreigners, pay very little attention to the political situation. They admit, of course, that the unsettled conditions of a year ago, as well as the general lack of knowledge of what the future holds for Egypt, is a deterrent to free commercial intercourse. The chief cause for business worry at this writing is the decline in cotton prices plus the general international slump, in trade. The two events coming at the same time work more than ordinary hardship to the business life of Egypt. ' One business man remarked , that people in Egypt realized that the trade of the world was in a bad state ; P. Mins a !.' world over, and that there was a general stagnation in buying. But, be other countries on have continued, usually more than one industry-upwhich to exist. Here in Egypt we must live or die at the wh in pf King Cotton. This whim Is .not left in our power to control. We grow the cotton, and Lancashire and Manchester, as well as your big tire fabric centers at borne, manipulate the buying price. Of course, every one in Egypt with a 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 more or less left open to unusual perils when that one industry fails. -- Bulk of Business Life. ; This business man was engaged in the wholesale supply of sundries and novelties. ,'His point of view may be accepted as that of such traders In general those who buy in Europe, America or Japan and import the goods to Egypt for local consumption. This work constitutes the bulk of the business lifd of the community. ' It is not tlie greatest in point of wealth, however, when one figures the immense amounts involved in the collecting, ginning and exportation of raw cotton. Egypts normal cotton crop is handled by about a dozen large British and Levantine firms, American ' soldiers, whose predilection for sweets has often caused Frenchmen to gasp with amazement, are still world champions in this respect, it Is shown by figures compiled at the Cafeteria, the largest ' restaurant In Coblenz, under the management of the Y. M. C. A. During the last year American doughboys ate at that restaurant alone 233,138 puddings, 475,843 tarts and cakes, 310,874 cookies and doughnuts, 63,151 cream puffs and eclairs, 624,000 dishes of Ice . cream, 3G6.351 chocolate sundaes, 61,378 pies, 223,787 apples and other fruit, 282,741 glasses of lemonade and 43,792 oranges. , Eggs were also played across ' the board, the total numler con-- , sumed being 211,105.

As the drop-icotton prices began almost at the beginning of this season, the big brokers were thus not caught with a, great amount of stock on hand. The merchandise dealers, on the contrary, continued their buying right up to November and are even now being loaded up with stock, if paid for before shipment, or with obligations if shipped against documents. This is spelling ruin for some of the largest houses. Many serious failures have occurred, and in Cairo alone three, department stores have gone into bankruptcy. It Is the general opinion that the worst period has passed. Those who have gone through the crisis, either honorably or dishonorably, will. It Is believed, live to see another - period of fair business weather.

Additional indications of the conditions in "the British shipbuilding are furnished by the returns of launchings and new work begun during the first quarter of this year. New keels represented only 391,000 gross tons, in comparison with 503,000 for the last quarter of 1920. and 701,000 for the quarter ended April 1, 1920. Launchings during the quarter just ended represented 431,000 tons,, as against 576.000 tons for the last three months of 1920.
