6th Kay 1937.
Sir,
With reference to your Circular despatch of
November 4th 1936 (W.14409/92/50 ), I have the honour to
transmit herewith a return,extracted from the monthly Bulletins
des Douanes,of Iranian imports and exports during the three
months September 22nd 1936 to December 21st 1936. Comparative
figures for the preceding three months, and for the correspond
ing three months of last year,are also given.
2 . ija compared with the corresponding period of last
year,the returns show a decrease in imports from the united
Kingdom arid Japan, and an increase in imports from G-ermany#
Imports of cotton piece goods from the united Kingdom
increased considerably ,wix;h corresponding decreases in imports
from Japan and the Union of Soviet Socialist Hepublics*
British woollens also made further progress,but not so much
as those from Germany and Japan,
3 . Exports to the Soviet Ui ion were higher,particu
larly raw cotton and livestock. Germany took large quantities
of carded wool; this raoy be due to the fact that raw wool is
mainly earmarked for the Soviet union. Sxports of carpets to
the United Kingdom increased,probably to forestall the carpet
monopoly.
4 # i am sending copies of this despatch to the Depart
ment of overseas Trade .unnumbered,and to the Foreign Secretary
to the Govermaeiit of India o.78.
I have the honour to be with the highest respect,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
The Right Honourable
Anthony Kden M.C. ,M»P.,

THIS FORKIGH OF FIGS.

Copies of correspondence sent by the British Legation at Tehran (including Commercial Secretary F A G Gray, and Envoys Extraordinary & Ministers Plenipotentiary, Horace James Seymour, Reader William Bullard), distributing and providing comment on Persian [Iranian] foreign trade statistics, generally in the form of quarterly returns.
