Messrs. A. M. Karagheusian.
Messrs. B. Kazanjian.
Messrs. S. Telfyan,
all represented in Kerman by Armenians.
The Swiss Firm of—
Messrs. A. E. Wetli has now joined up for purpose of carpet export
with Messrs. Whitmann of New York. It is now represented by
the Head of the firm Mr. A. E. Wetli.
Persian exporters of carpets are few, the chief being
Messrs. Dilmaghani and Company, who have been acting with Messrs.
Wetli.
Messrs. Kazwini and Company, who purchase for an American firm
in New York.
Exports to the United Kingdom consist mainly of Tribal carpets.
The Kerman carpet has been ruined by designs imported from America
carpets which are washed in acids in America to give them a silky glow and are
then clipped for sale. The acids ruin the durability.
The export of gums notably tragacynth has not been successful though the
present low prices ruling may make export a better proposition. The Kerman
Tragacynth is inferior in quality and quantity to the Hamadan Kermanshah
product. Pistachio nuts were exported mainly from Sirjan and Eafsinjan and
are a paying crop but trees take 8 to 10 years to give results and some 20 to 30
years to come to full maturity.
Banking and Influence of Trade on Banking. —The Manager of the Imperial
Bank of Persia States that the diminution in the import trade resulted in a
weakening in the competition for the increased supply of exchange accruing from
the growing export of carpets and Bunking profits benefitted proportionately.
The demand for financial accommodation was unabated but in view of the
general trade depression it was necessary to exercise considerable caution.
There was steady trade increase between Kerman and Yezd on account of
Henna.
The second six months brought a demand for bills on Meshed as a result of
the demand for tribal rugs from that place. It is understood that these were to
h* exported to Constantinople.
The market for shawls, which mainly go to Tehran and Tabriz, was quiet
and consequently exchange on Tehran was not so plentiful as usual.
. Exchange on Bandar Abbas depends upon spring and autumn imports and
in the winter upon exports of cotton and pistachio nuts from Rafsinjan.
The market for gum tragacynth fell off.
Excellent rains last season produced improved grain crops and plentiful
herbage so that the cost of living fell considerably reacting on the landlords
wno were compelled to restrict their patronage of the import in luxury trade.
Trade while dull and lifeless has resulted in no failures during the year.
The exchange during the year varied from Krans 303 to 358 per 100 Rs.
