town, which was likewise defended by a strong Peman land force; and.

1684-94. Meanwhile the tone of the Persian Government, who bad recently
suffered from the hostility of the Portugese, became more friendly; and,
even before Grantham's arrival in the Gulf, advances had been made to
the English by the Ptimad-ud-Dauleh, the Persian prime minister. The
nature of these overtures may be inferred from the reply, which was that,
on condition of the English share of the customs being regularly paid and
of Persian goods being shipped exclusively in English bottoms, the
Company would undertake to send first-rate vessels and sufficient stocks
and to maintain the trade with Persia in a flourishing condition. Tn these
more favourable circumstances it was ordered by the Court, in 1684, that

to watch over the interests of the Company at that place, and that an
effort should be made to secure a preference over their Dutch competitors
in the exportation of Kirman wool; and in 1686 further instructions
were given to the local agents to request special encouragement from the
Shah for English shipping, and to suggest the grant of a contract to the
Company for all the silk and Kirman w T ool formerly taken by the Dutch.
In the latter year also, an order for the protection of English trade and a
confirmation of the privileges enjoyed by the English at Bandar 'Abbas
were obtained, notwithstanding Dutch intrigues, by the Company's

from his province to be reduced to 7 00 maunds a year. A gratuity to the
