piece goods are reported to be less popular in the Tehran bazaar at
present, as the repeated price reductions create suspicions that the Japa
nese may adopt some of the less desirable tactics of the Eussian trading
establishments about which complaints were recently made, and merchants
are afraid of incurring losses, and are tending to withhold orders. It is
said that during August Japanese piece goods were offered at 10 per cent,
below recent prices, and that merchants refused to accept them.

Bank of Persia’s Mohammerah Market Eeport of the 12th July about the
future of Mohammerah and Bander Shahpur. We were given it by Eldrid

to believe the statement that Bander Shahpur would be scrapped.

Report, dated the 12th July 1933..
New Customs’ Premises.
Plans have been drawn up and submitted this week to Teheran for
the construction of new Customs Offices and godowns on the present site.
The buildings are to be semi circular in shape with go-downs underneath
and offices above and are estimated to cost Rials 7,500,000. Rumour has
it that the work will be carried out under the supervision of A. P. O. C.,
engineers. A jetty is also to be built to enable ships to come along side.
Apparently the idea of the Government is to be in a position to levy port
dues as at present ships discharge in mid-stream which is Iraq water, a
subject which has caused considerable controversy between the Govern
ments of Persia and Iraq for some time past. It is also rumoured a rail
way line to Ahwaz will be constructed the site for the station being behind
the Bank Bungalows. The Port of Bunder Shapoor has apparently proved
to be of little value and will apparently ultimately be scrapped. The
present Customs premises are totally inadequate for the volume of mercnan-
dise imported and exported at this port.
