Considering the above, the year 1351 shews a de
crease under 1350 in most^commodities, which is consis
tent withthe trade position. The marked decrease,
however, in sugar and^tea may be accounted for by a
^ falling-off in the exp'ort trade in these two commodi-
t) ties, for this exrfort trade accounted for the greater
'Dart of the imports, when the tea and sugar were expor
ted hence to the mainland of xj^abia, and re-exported
thence possibly to certain Persian ports, I am informed
It appears that an almost prohibitive import duty is
impose- on tea and sugar, which, supported by a strict
/’ (1* patrol of the sea-coast, makes this Persian iirrnbrt
, ( trade very difficult for the merchants; but of course
this arrangement enures in favour of the well-known
Russian trade agreement and assists the U.S.S.R. in
exporting its^ tea and sugar into Persianterritories
from the Uorth; and consequently the southern import
suffers accordingly.
