NOTES ON CERTAIN FIRMS IN BASRAH .—Haji Abdul Uasool Bebhani. —Deals
in Crystal Sugar from Tate^s and Loaf Sugar from Antwerp and Marseilles; his cargo came
by Strick' , s boats, Hamburg-Ameriea steamers and with transhipment at Bombay. All the
Antwerp Sugar came in German steamers. He ordered his sugar either through Gray
Mackenzie or Strick Scott and the price was a c.i.f. one, and, therefore, he had nothing to do
with how the cargo was sent.
His sugar from Marseilles came either by Strick’s or BucknalFs boats and this also refers
to Tate's sugar.
His Tea, which comes from Calcutta, is brought entirely by B. I. boats, and the Tea that
is purchased from Bombay comes either by B. 1. Bombay and Persia or the Arab Line of
steamers.
His Coffee came from London, bought through Basrah firms and arrived by Strick s or
BucknaiPs boats.
Haji Mohammed Ali Behda&hty .—Does practically the same business as the former
gentleman and he confirms all that he has said.
Eaji Abdul Basool Cochigani .—Deals mostly in enamel ware, earthenware, glassware and
haberdashery; he bought all these from Germany or Austria, seeing samples at Wonckhaus
and Company's office and placed all his orders through this firm.
When he first commenced business with the German firm, he used to place orders with
them and they never required him to deposit any money or give a f- campiala ; he would
pay them by instalments after receipt of the goods and only after their sale later on, the
German firm started the system of taking “compialas'” and he used to give them these
documents—payment at 6 months date; the ‘' campialas ” being dated on the receipt of the
goods by him. The Germans did not press for payment when a u campiala " became due. He
(H. A. Rasool Cochingani) used to pay something to account and sign a further a cam
piala }> for the balance. Before the Germans started in the Gulf and Basrah, he used to buy his
requirements in India. The goods were sometimes British, and sometimes German or Austrian.
The British goods, as a rule, were of better quality, but, being more expensive, he had no profit
in selling, and, once the Germans came into the Gulf, there was no chance for British goods to
compete with what he could buy through Wonckhaus. He had no trouble with the German
Steamer Line over shortage, etc., as this did not concern him : _ Wonckhaus and Company
handed him the goods and, if there was any shortage in a package it concerned W oncknaus and
Company, not himself.
The goods purchased by him from Wonckhaus cost, delivered to his godown, Basrah,
about the same price for similar articles bought in Bombay, y-o.6. Bombay.
Bah jet Fkmye.—Imports Sugar, Coffee (American) and Wines and Spirits, Hardware and
Haberdashery.
The Sugar was Tate's Crystal sugar and this was bought in London and came by
Strick or Bucknall Line. He also bought Sugar from Austria and Germany, placing is
orders through British firms. This sugar used to reach him from Hamburg by German
Line. He bought c.i.f. and had no interest in what steamer the cargo came by. Me
presumes this was because the freight was cheaper by German than by British steamers.
He also bought Belgian sugar through British firms in Basrah This came from
Antwerp always by German Line, presumably owing to the fact that the firms, with whom e
placed his orders, found it cheaper to ship by German than by English boats.
His business in Tate's Crystals was very small, as their price always compared very
unfavourably with that of Austria and Germany. His clients in Basrah and Mesopotamia,
always wanted the cheapest article. In his opinion, the quality of Tate s Crystal is equal
to but not better than, what he bought from Austria or Germany ; when he says equal no
anaWsis was made, but all his buyers look to is the shape of the Crystal and the colour, which
must be a good white. If Tate's Crystals could be sold at the same price as those from
Austria and Germany, he considers that it would have an equal chance in the trade.
His reason for trading in American Coffee, instead of in Indian Coffee, is that the price
was generally lower and^he preferred to pay less and wait a little longer for the completion
of his orders. _
For good Whiskies he went to England, but, as a large proportion of the P oore ' “
here, such as Arab boatmen, lightermen, fellahs, etc., wuld not pay hjh pr^
place his orders in Germany for cheap brands at a price which enabled him to sell here Irom
5s 9 to Ks lil per case/against Rs. 17 to Rs. *0 per ease, which he had to ask for bcotch
Whiskies.
He used to bring a quantity of cane furniture, glassware, enamelware, and hardware
from Austria and Germany always by German steamers, and coul se ere a a p 0
something like Rs. 15 to Rs. 20 per cent., while, if he brought similar goods from England, he
3 not have sold them at a profit. The quality of these German and Austrian goods is not
equal to similar goods from England, but out here buyers want cheapness and do not caie
anything about quality.
