there was hope of an indulgence being obtained for Messrs.
m ' i an( l Company who had had a large quantity of grain in hand
bfre any embargo was proposed. In the end all difficulties were
Amoved by an opportune fall of rain.
In 1877 there was a rise in the price of grain in Persia, attributed
some to the Russo -Turkish war; and the Mujtahids, the self-consti-
tated guardians of the public interest in such matters, began to agitate
for the imposition of an embargo on export. Early in the year a prohi
bition was actually issued by the Government of Pars, but it was soon
rescinded, not without the unfortunate result of provoking a riot at
Bushehr. The moving spirits in this disturbance were two Saiyid
brothers, one of them named Agha Saiyid Sulaiman; and the principal
Wiyji sufferer'was Haji Muhammad Ja'far, apparently a British Indian
anl fc di subject, wheat belonging to whom was plundered or destroyed by the
itvesdJ moh, to the value of 1,800 Qrans, after it had been loaded on a boat,
ingot J Prompt and judicious steps were taken by the Acting Resident with the
«art Persian authorities, and the ringleaders were arrested, punished, and
obliged to make good the value of the grain lost. In March, there
being at the moment no interdict in force against the exportation of
grain, the Persian Governor of Bandar 'Abhas obliged a British subject
there, under threat of a heavy fine, to reland a consignment which he
bad shipped ; and a claim for compensation was lodged by the British
Minister at Tehran on behalf of the sufferer by this illegal act. The
Government then announced a new grain embargo, to come into force
from the 18th June; but the British Legation were able to obtain its
postponement until the 15th August in the interest of British exporters.
>
lu June 1878 the British Resident at Bushehr, at the request of some
British merchants, urged the removal of the embargo imposed in the
previous year, representing that the exportation of grain was really
unchecked, and that the only effect of the restriction was to enable the
alPe ®' local Persian officials to extort money from would-be exporters. The
at Bus^il British Cbarg6 d' Affaires at Tehran was successful in persuading the
0 oftlrf Persian Government to order the withdrawal of the embargo on an
andW ^derstanding that the amount of grain exported monthly should be
reported to the Persian Government and registered, that exportation
sbould take place at Bushehr, Bandar ^Abbas, and Big only, and that on
10 days' notice being given a fresh and absolute embargo might be
imposed. To these conditions the Governor of Bushehr added another of
J Ms own,—that not more than 8,000 bags of corn should be exported in
one month. Meanwhile the British Jndia Steam Navigation Company had
