The English merchants have been
startled by the heavy inroads being
made by Americans into their trade
with the British colony at Cape Town ,
and there Is much talk of combination
to repress this. Consul General Stowe ,
at Cape Town , in a report to the state

been placed at a price 20 per cent be
low British quotations , and , the
Scotch makers refusing to make the
tubes as long as required , the order
