months only throughout the year. In spite of this however the cargo handled
compares very favourably, as regards quantity, with that of the previous year.
One striking feature of the transport during 1915 is the use of this route for the
conveyance of goods to Hamadan and ICermanshah, which, in normal times s
take the Basrah-Baghdad route. From enquiries made in the North, it is
fairly well established that the majority, or very considerable portion of'cargo
which has gone over this route to Hamadan and Kermanshah, has been passed
on to Baghdad. This cargo comprises for the most part, tea, and piece goods.
Owing to the demand for transport, rates have been correspondingly highj
having reached Krans 13 per Shah maund for Ispahan, and 19 Krans for
Hamadan cargo (£37 and £55 per ton).
