They were collected through the agency of "Dun's Review." Hides, leather and boots and shoes compare with January 1, 1888, iron and products with January 1, 1887, and the textiles with January 1, 1860. The average is taken of ten grades of hides, ten of leather, twelve of boots and shoes, three of pig iron, eight products of iron, one hundred quotations of wool, ten of woollen goods, spot middling uplands of cotton, and ten grades of cotton goods: Of course, it is not possible to make any allowance for the great improvements in the various manufactured articles, owing to better methods, but aside from this consideration, the first striking feature of the table is the enormous reduction in cost to the consumer of the finished product in every case, apparently regardless of the fluctuation in raw material. It will be noticed that even when hides were over 50 per cent higher than they were twelve years ago, the advance in leather was slight, and boots and shoes were about 4 per cent cheaper. Similarly in cotton goods, the highest average price during the last year was only about two-thirds the price in 1860, although the raw material on one or two occasions reached the exact price of forty years ago, but they did not fall on the dates used in the table, which are only taken for points of widest change in the aggregate, Prices of iron and steel were slightly above the range in 1887 for a short time when the raw material reached 11.5 per cent higher. The drop during the last year was sharp, but the average is still well above the figures of 1898. Variations were less extensive in woollens, quotations keeping well below the prices in 1860, and the great gain in appearance and wearing quality of the goods is well known, although designations remain unchanged.

In 1876, as the result of negotiations between the Ottoman and Egyptian_governments and the various Christian Powers having representatives at Cairo, certain courts were created in Egypt for the trial of mixed civil causes arising between persons of different foreign nationalities, and suits of foreigners against members of the Khedival family. natives, the Egyptian Government and These mixed tribunals, in civil matters within their exclusive jurisdiction, superseded the consular courts. A mixed tribunal consists of five judges, three of whom are foreigners and two natives. The foreign judges are appointed by the Khedive on the recommendation of the great Powers, each of which is represented by from one to three judges. There are several tribunals of original jurisdiction (first instance) and a court of appeals at Alexandria. The United States is represented in these courts by the following judges: Court of Appeals at Alexandria-Anthony M. Keilly, Virginia (app'd 1894). Court of First Instance at Cairo-Geo. S.
