referred to at that time in these solams. Professor Chapman asys that "the successive settlementa on the Exchango were marked by a surprising absence of anything like dienster." The Government had scored an unqualified success, and "thas closed one of the most eventful chapters in the history of the cotton trade-and all's well that ends well." In a note a ided to the article, attention is drawn to other satisfactory features of the outlook, viz, the Egyptain Go- vernment's reduction of the cotton srea, its support of certain firma in Alexandria, and the British loan of £5,000,000 in case of need; the steps taken to deal with the present large American crep and the general financial scheme of assistance in India, embracing the colton interest. The writer's final conclusion on the actual situation is that "cotton is now coming forward normally."
