GOVERMENT OF BAHRAIN
Office of the Adviser to
the Government, Bahrain.
Bated 20th Shahbhaan, '45/23rd Feby *27
TRADE
Imports for the year 1926 shew a decrease
under 1925, covering all kinds of cargo, except
loaf sugar, which has nearly doubled in value.
"R. E." cargo shows 8.8$ of receipts as against
8.2$ in 1925, also cotton yarns (for the local
sail weaving industry) shew a substantial increase.
This industry is carried on at several coast
villages and is gradually increasing. Locally
weaved sails and cloths are sold at the weekly
public markets at Manama.
This decrease is generally attributed
to a moderate pearling season in the year 1925
and cheaper world prices for the pearls gained,
which results in tightness of money, and
consequent inability to purchase more expensive
commodities. This is most marked in rice and
cotton piei?egoods; and it is noticed that
merchants do not now carry large stocks,
particularly of the dearer kinds of rice.
