Foreign as well as internal trade became extensive, although exports were mostly of crude natural products, such as hides, skins, and furs, cattle and sheep, grain, pig-iron, lead and tin, hunting-dogs and slaves.

Wadaï sends to the coast at Bengazi a biennial caravan, accompanied by a large number of slaves. The chief articles of legitimate traffic are elephants' teeth and ostrich feathers.

He thrust the offending volume into a crevice of his chair. "Laurel," he added, "what is the outport of St. Petersburg?" "Cronstadt," she answered, after a violent searching of her memory.
