here weekly? lout I understand that the Company^ chief objec
tion to this is insufficiency of cargo for export, though
this argument is fallacious if we compare this port with Lingah f

** St rick line steamers used formerly to land their Bahrain
cargo at Bunder ^bbas; but since the Persian Authorities have
demanded full import duty on such cargo the steamers have call
ed here direct from England, a procedure which greatly benefits j
local merchants. It is noteworthy that both the Strick and
the Hansa Lines bring here more cargo from the Continent of
Europe than comes from England, and the continental suppliers*
invoices are in English, and their quotations are c.i.f. Bah ram
One cannot help thinking that English merchants are losing a
good market by not competing.
