The financial editor of The Times says: " The outstanding feature of the stock exchange this w eek is the activity and buoyancy o f the cable and wireless com panies' securities, This is believed to be due to its be-v com ing known that the projected ne gotiations betw een the im perial con ference and the cable and wireless com panies on the subject of the pro posed m erger, which was arranged earlier in the year, is nearing com pletion.

As the Diamond Sculls v ictor is not expected to arrive back until the middle o f August, there is ample time for preparations to fea made, but an im mediate start U desired in order that the arrangem ents may be fitting.

During the week-end, cables w ere despatched on behalf of the Province by Acting Premier George S. Henry, and on behalf of the City by M ayor McBride. Hon. W . H.

The Premier o f Ontario was among the spectators at Henley. Col. Price on Saturday night received the follow ing cable: " Have Just seen young Joe W right win a splendid victory.

Britain Market for Australian Honey Great Need Felt Is Mainten ance of Continuity and Quality of Supply Sydney, N.S.W .-- At a conference o f apiarists ju st held In this city the general Australian opinion was ex pressed that England can absorb all the honey that Australia can export. The outlook for the industry is therefore m ost encoursging to all en gaged ir. it who are prepared to work on scientific lines. The main difficulty so far has been the continuity o f supply. The Lon don selling organization, said a South Australian delegate to the conference, must have sufficient honey to cop s with the demand all the year round. The general m anager o f the Pro ducers' Distributing Society o f New South W ales, C. E. D. Meares, urged that the consistent export o f Aus tralia's surplus honey was a vital necessity. It was essential to stand ardize and blend all honey sent abroad. R. E. G. M cDonald o f South Aus> tralia pointed out as the result o f his observations and inquiries, that the possibilities o f m arketing honey in England were immense. Two large firms operating 2200 multiple shops had offered to take honey all t'h-e year round. The apiarists' co operative organization was not at present able to accept all the orders available, as sufficient honey was not com ing forward. Largely increased production was necessary to fully exploit the Engllh market. The M inister o f F orests in New South W ales, F. A. Chaffe 7 , promised to assist the industry in every way in his power. British Railways May Run Motors Necessary Bills, Accepted by Joint Committee of Both Houses c f Parliament London.-- Bills authorizing the rail ways throughout Great Britain, the London area only excepted, to enter the m otor road transport business have been accepted after 33 days' dis cussion by a joint com m ittee of the House of Lords and House o f Com mons. This is regarded as assuring these hardfought measures becom ing law. The bills confer a new charter upon the railways concerned which have been suffering from the develop ment of road transport services with which they have hitherto been pre vented from competing. The joint committee has rejected the bill which was to give similar authorization to the M etropolitan Railway, on the ground that the Lon don traffic offers special features which were best dealt with separately. Sir Herbert Walker, who is in general managing the conference representing all lines concerned, says in an inter view that he now hopes the railways will be able to carry out the intention they had in promoting the bills. " It may be taken for granted," says another railway authority, " that we shall run motor road services to feed our lines or make arrangem ents with existing transport concerns." scribes the rising tide o f independ ence thus: " The British told the Egyptians that their occupation would be only tem porary. Yet in 1922 there w ere al most six times as many British offi cials in Egypt as in 1895. A fter the war they learned that the rights of small nations would be as sacred as those of big ones. The Egyptians de manded the annulment o f the protec torate anij form al recognition o f inde pendence. Garcia Messenger at Hubbard Home " A fter years o f protest, they were given in February, 1922, th -oseGecm given, in February, 1822, the socalled Declaration of Independence. This they steadfastly refused to ac cept because its reservations left to Great Britain the Suez Canal and the Sudan, and restricted their sover eignty over the rest o f Egypt. They can care for the canal. The Sudan they claim by conquest and by moral right. Any foreign nation in control could divert water for irrigation in the Upper Nile to such an extent as to ruin Low er Egypt. They are quite prepared to protect foreign interests and minorities. They may make some mistakes, but they will learn to do by doing." This was the virtual attitude o f the Nationalists toward the reservationists in the D eclaration o f Independence. No more pow er was given to Egypt during the governm ents o f Ramsa.MacDonald or Stanley Baldwin. Since 1924, when a fanatic assassinated the Sirdar, Sir Lee Stack, no further con cessions have been made to Egypt.
