LOCAL AFFAIRS.
(a) As the result of the virtual standstill to which business
has come in the local and up-country markets, sales of the products
of the Etemadiyeh Mill. Bushire, have decreased to vanishing point
and the Mill is now said to hold accumulations of stock amounting to
80Q90Q metres. The number of shifts in the Mill has in consequence
been decreased and 250 hands have been thrown out of work. There is
a prospect of further substantial reductions being made in the near
future in the sc P le of labour employed.
(b) The precipitate decline in the black market price of
sugar led to the refusal of Kadkhudas and other recognised agents to
accept the Government sugar ration for the.month of ohahrivar. The
price of Government sugar per b p g is only Rials 2000, but since an
approximately similar amount per bag has to go to meet the demands of
the usual array of petty intermediate officials, no margin of
potential profit from the subsequent sale in the black market of the
Government sugar would have been left, the black market price per bag
at the time having dropped to Rials 4000, with a few quotations at an
even lower figure. With a later increase in the black market figure,
however, the agents intimated that they would be willing ta accept
the Government ration.
