QJii, This and other minor articles of diet (except dal) can probably,
in part at all events, be imported into Shiraz, if large quantities are likely
to be reouired. Ghi is not by any means universally used ; the poorer
classes both in town and country cannot afford it ; it is one of the most
valuable of the products brought into the towns for sale by nomads and
is also largely bought by pedlars in exchange for cloth, etc., being readily
portable There is however no large reserve of it available as a rule, and
any exceptional demand would send up the price rapidly ; it is usually of
excellent quality, and can generally be bought much cheaper south than
north of Shiraz.
