, Bahrain, who is in close touch with
the local and mainland affairs, will be glad to answer any
enquiries regarding trade from merchants in the United Kingdom
through the Commercial Intelligence Branch of the Board of
Trade. Enquiries from India should be made through the
Director General of Commercial Intelligence at Calcutta. Time
would probably be saved by addressing the latter official
direct, as information on most ordinary matters is available
in his records.
SHIPPING,
There is a regular weekly mail service from India and
bi-weekly to India. As reported previously owing to the
abolition of the British Post Office at Bushire,, the practice
of sending mails to India by up-steamers via Bushire has
ceased. Thus the number of mails to India reduced from 6 to 2«
This somewhat adversely affects the commercial community,
GENERAL REMARKS ,
Motor roads suitable for cars and lorries exist over
the greater part of the islands. There are about 200 motor
cars of various makes and motor cars are xai available on hire.
Mot or boats ply regularly between Bahrain and Qatar on the
mainland and also run between Bajirain and Qatif and Ojair.
