(A kantar is about a hundred-weight.) From 1822 to 1848 the yield varied from 120,000 to 345j000 kantars. In 1849 the jaeld was 364,816 kantars 1850 „ „ „ 384,439 „ 1851 „ „ „ 670,129 „ The high figure of 1851 was not maintained, but the yield never fell again to what it had been before 1851. From 1852 to 1859 the year's — 59 -- yield varied from 460,000 to 540,000 kantars. The few years following 1880 werw a sucoe^ion of record- beating years: — In 1860 the yield was 590,200 kantars 1861 „ „ „... 721,052 ,. 1862 „ „ „ 1,181,888 „ 1863 „ „ „ 1.718,791 ,, 1864 „ „ „ 2,001,169 „ The Barrage was declared to be finished in 1861, and it would seem from (he foregoing figures to have had a great effect. But the increase in llie cotton cnltivation from 1861 to 1864 was due to tlie high prices obtained for Egyptian cotton during the American Civil War, wliicli lasted from April 1861 to May 1865. It was this which gave such impnlHO to cotton growing in Egypt that the crop of 1864 produced almost four times that of any crap previous to 1860.
