There
There is a great probability that with the
facilities offered by transporters of 'Iraq entering into
this business, in conjunction with the merchants of Baghdad
and Azerbaijan, great advantages will result to both
countries irom the opening of the trade route through the
lowanduz (Jorge connecting iersia with the markets of the
world*
A recent innovation has been the introduction of
through Bills of lading between European Ports and any
destination in Persia. These Bills are negotiable at once
and by using them a consignor at a continental port obtains
a document covering the carriage of a consignment by sea,
rail and road to any town in iersia, thus avoiding the
employment of Agents en route, the consignee paying 80$
cash against the
Bill of Lading
A document confirming the goods which a ship has received.
and the balance of 80$,
plus charges, on receipt of the goods at final destination.
The merchant in Persia therefore knows exactly
what his goods will cost him at destination and pays there,
and is freed from all charges ana commissions en route,
and also from a great deal of correspondence and cost of
telegrams, and is saved also the cost of commission on
drafts on exchange to various points.
These facilities are of the greatest value to the
Persian merchant and could be greatly developed by improved
trading relations between Persia and 'Iraq. The opening
of the Bowanduz-R^yat route from 'Iraq will enable these
facilities to be used to a very great extent, and the
merchants using them will be free from the almost complete
monopoly which now forces them into the hands of Russian
agencies for handling the exports and imports of Korthern
Persia.
