Mr. Savage, when the winter should be over, from Kirman to Mashhad,

; but difficulties connected with
inland duties and the generally disturbed state of the country prevented
its execution. Muhammad Taqi Khan was for a time in revolt at Shiraz,
and it appeared that his proceedings might result in bad debts to the
Company, notably in the case of the Kalantar of Shiraz, who owed them
400 Tumans and who was now blinded and despoiled of his goods on
suspicion of sympat hising with the rebellious governor. In this year dates
to the value of Rs. 2,142 are mentioned as having been sold by the

After the warehouses at Kirman had been cleared by sales, 141 bales
of broadcloth and 1,000 pieces of perpets were sent there in March 1747 ;
this left no broadcloth at all in stock at Bandar 'Abbas, and the
Agent and Council requested that a supply might be sent them immediately

having in this year ordered a large
quantity of Kirman wool exclusive of previous indents, the Company's
servants at Bandar 'Abbas stated that they would endeavour to obtain
it through Mr. Graves, but that they were not sanguine of success because,
" from the oppression of the Government, the people are obliged to sell
u their goats in the market to raise money for their tax, & the villages
" circumjacent had been plundered and their O oats destroyed." From this
remark it would seem that the so-called "wool"of Kirman, at the
time such an important article of export, was in reality goats '-hair:
a supposition which seems to be corroborated by the fact that the favour
ite quality was neither black nor white, but " red."

at Bandar 'Abbas was so short
of cash that 2,000 maunds of copper were sent to Barkah * for sale^
though no advices had been received thence.
In 1749 the Court of the Company were pleased to order " a provision
of fiftv thousand pounds weight of Carmenia Wool, as much of it red as
may be procurable, and as cheep as possible, without any limitation as to
" price," and orders were given accordingly to the Agent and Council at
Bandar 'Abbas. Copper was still a leading export from Perf;ia, but there
is nothing to show from what source it was obtained.
In 1751 the prospects of trade were not encouraging, owing to the
anarchy that then prevailed throughout Persia and to rumourc of a renewal
