Established . 1889
The Suez canal has resulted in an
unexpected increase in the potential
wealth of Italy and France. It was
discovered last month that the
Mediterranean waters are filled with
pearls of the highest quality, some
of extraordinary size, as a result of
a strange ovater malady which is be
ing carried westward by the Suez
currents.
The colors of the pearls range
from azure to piuk. but according to
first specimens they are more valu
able than the average pearls found
in Indian waters.
AN ACCOUNT in a commercial bank is the most
convenient aid to modern business. It systema
