In regard to the above, the deficiency in the
actual Customs receipts can be_attributed partly to
the world trade depression (which has now reached an
acute stage), and partly to the local effects of
several pearling seasons when the local Taaiirs have
been unatle to dispose of their stocks, or to collect
the proceeds of their disposals. This may be partly
their own fault, as the Taajirs, who had been enjoying
considerable prosperity were warned that in future
prices would rail; but the warning does not seem uo
have been heeded, and consequently certam^local
Taaiirs felt compelled to go as iar as^Baris to sell
their pearls, where they met with varying success.
Thus there is a very definite lack o^ ready money
available for general trading.
But the most important factor in
Customs receipts has been the decline
sale prices oi the staple commodities
The following comparison should be oi
the decline of
