Owing to recent troubles in Russia the goods mentioned in the above-
mentioned agreement were not received at Bandar Abbas in November, 1905,
as was stipulated, but arrived later. It is reported that Russian manu
factured chintzes and other woollen cloths to the value of about 24,000
tumnns (about Rs. 60,000) were brought to Bandar Abbas by Russian
steamers and sent to Kixman to the Parsis and local Persian merchants of
Kirman and Yazd. A Russian steamer service company is also reported to
have been established in the

It is said that the (hintzes brought by the Russian steamers and delivered
at Bandar Abbas were not of the same quality as the samples mentioned
in the agreement, and the merchants here complained of the matter to the
Russian Consul, but the result is not known.
Some 400 cases of Russian loaf sugar from Bandar Abbas and some
400 tins of kerosene oil from Meshed, with a quantity of Russian tea, were
also imported into Kirman during the year under report. The Russian
tea is not liked by the Persians, in consequence of which the trader who
imported it is said to regret his enterprise.

the year under report than it had been in the previous one. It happened
twice during this year that there being a great demand for carpets in
Constantinople and America the value of the Kirman and Afshar carpets
rose, and the carpet merchants of Kirman profited handsomely by the
occasion.
The well-known carpet merchant, Agha Muhammad HajI, Tehrani of
Kirman who took his caravan of carpets a second time to India via the
Nushki-Sistan trade route, and who is still in India, appears to have failed
in his enterprise. There appears to be no very great opening for a Persian
