EGYPTIAN MARKET
New Zealand Unknown “The excellent products of New Zealand are rarely seen in Egypt,” said Captain D’Arcy Maxwell, who has been a resident of Alexandria for eleven years, “and New Zealand to the Arabs or Egyptians is a place unknown and unheard of. In the markets of Alexandria and Cairo you see Canadian and Australian apples and other fruits, and the best butter there comes from Australia. There is small demand for New Zealand mutton and lamb, owing to the local supply approximating the demand. I do think, however, that New Zealand might be better represented in Egypt rthan she is.” It may be .pointed out iu this connection that New Zealand has no line of steamers that pass through the Suez Canal or touch Egyptian ports, and any produce forwarded to that country would necessarily be loaded up with freight and transhipping charges between New Zealand and Australia-
