FUTURE OF NIGERIA.

GREAT TRADE PROSPECTE.

A comprehensive report on the administrating of Nigeria, and the commercial, and social, conditions in the Protectorate during the period 1912-1919. has been prepared by Sir JF. D. Lugard, who became Governor

General on the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern provinces in January, 1914. Up to the beginning of the present cantury the inhabit ants of this great. territory-the largest of our protectorates were: living in a state of eternal war. In the north a series of Moslem despotisms held precarious sway, their rula marked by the worst forms of slave- raiding, spollation, and inhuman cruelty. In the south the pagan races were held in thrall by fetish worship, and the hideous ordeals of witchcraft, human sacrifice, and twin murder. Under British rule these evils have been swept away. Order reigns throughout the territory, and under an enlightened admistration, in which the native races have s due voice and share, the vast re- sources of the country are being rapidly developed, and it promises to rank as one of the most prosper oes and valuable of our tropical dependencies.

Nigeria, says Sir F. Lugard, afforda an immense field for British. trade, and though it has developed at an extraordinary rate, it is capable of indefinite expansion. In 1900 its total value was about three and a half millions sterling, by 1913 it bad more than trebled, and in 1918, in spite of the severe set-back caused by the war, it had reached seventeen. millions, the highest ever recorded. The exports consist of raw materials, the principal of which are oil and oil seeds, bides. sisins, cotton, cocca, rub-"- ber, and, tin-ore. The importa are manufactured goods, textiles, hard- ware, &c. with salt and kerosene. Formerly the largest import consist ed of trade gin for sale to the na- tives. Nigeria has the great advan- tage of being many thousand miles bearer to the United Kingdom than most of the other countries of the Empire from which tropical produce. is exported. Lagos la now about a fortnight's sail from Liverpool, and the magnitude of its trade, and the number of passengers, already justify a direct service which should not take more than twelve or thirteen. days. Nigeria has an enormous wealth and variety of products, a'

German soldiers took very little wine from the cellars when they swept southward over this district. 1914. Probably their confidence that their advance meant permanent Occupation of Champagne saved the cellars from pillage at the time and when the reaction came they were forced to retreat so rapidly they had little opportunity to invade the underground stores of wine.

Four years of bombardment de stroyed the greater part of the hand- some buildings erected, by the wine companies, but the most damage done to the stocks is attributed to French and Allied soldiers. Fighting men made unofficial requisitions termed ransoms," and these cost the cellars about 325,000 battles, in- cluding many "reserved" vintages.

Frequently irresponsible soldiers would bare holes in huge casks of unbottled wine, and after filling a bucket, would leave and permit the remainder in the cask to run away. and be wasted. It is believed 1,000,000 bottles were lost in this way,
