Trade and Commerce.
Bandar A bhas. —Tijade on the whole may be said to have been dull,
but there was some improvement, as is generally the case, during the cold
Iweather.
Foreign competition, particularly Russian, has been active and the
reluctance on the part of merchants up-country to place fresh orders for
goods until the situation became clearer at-times resulted in a considerable
falling-oil' in the forwarding business, which is the chief occupation of local
importers.
The total volume of the trade for the year 1927-28 (Persian year 1306),
the latest for which statistics are available, amounted to Krans 04,748 174
(£1,340,820) against Krans 69,944,089 (£1,439,070) during the preceding
year.
This district, it might be mentioned, comprises for Customs purposes
the ports of BANDAR ABBAS, JASK, CHARBAR, TIAB (MINAB) and
K1SHIM.
There was a falling off in both imports and exports.
The value of imports totalled Krans 47,095,910 (£975.272) of which
merchandise worth Krans 42,302,147 (£876,000) or almost 90 per cent was
introduced through the port of BANDAR ABBAS itself.
The value of exports amounted to Krans 17,652,264 (£365.545) showing
a drop of about ten per cent, on that for 1926-27.
Hie principal commodities of the import trade affected were cotton
piece-goods, yarn and soft and loaf sugar.
The import trade from India was worth Krans 27,515,876 (£569,800)
and consisted chiefly of cotton piece-goods and yarn. She held the'first
place in these two lines in the local market, but will have to contend in future
witli Russian competition, especially in cotton prints which are now finding
great favour owing to their cheapness.
The extent of India's purchases of Persian produce amounted to Krans
10,768,422 (£222,905) or about 60 per cent, of the total exports from
rl^rsia.
1 he exports to India comprised chiefly raw cotton, carpets, pistachio
nuts, dried fruits and dates.
