substantial increase in the quantities withdrawn from the customs. This was
succeeded in May by a reduction in clearances due to the disturbances which took
place in Alexandria, and no great improvement took place until September. There
was a further improvement in October, but this was lost in November and December.
A slight rise in prices took place in Manchester during October, and the customs
tariff was increased by 5 per cent, with effect from the 1st November, only to be
reduced again by nearly 10 per cent, with effect from the beginning of the new year.
Prices, however, were still about 140 per cent, higher than in 1913. The stock of
bales of cotton textiles held by the Egyptian Bonded Warehouses Company stood
at 14,800 on the 1st January; this figure fell month by month to 4,057 on the
31st October. Decreased clearances in November and December led to an increase
in the number in bond, and the year ended with 7.499 bales in bond.
