IN EGYPT.
Sir,—Thanks to the Reading Room here (New Plymouth authorities please copy) I have been reading the Egyptian Gazette (daily and semi-official), "and it gives the weekly list of prices in Cairo, wholesale and retail—rice, butter, cheese' beef, mutton, goat, buffalo and other meats, sugar, honey, soap and many other eatables, but it also gives a warning that any attempt to raise these prices should be reported to the police authorities or 'the nearest policeman on duty. So that in this, as in• its "bad" side, Cairo leads the world. Tile Egyptians complain bitterly about the rascally Greeks. They inveigle the natives, bleed them to poverty, and are now buying estates all through Egypt. Now as tiie Y.M.C.A. cooks, free of charge, any article brought to any of its huts, any one with this price list can live all right.—l a in, etc., W. R. WRIGHT. Wanganui, January 28.
