arrangement with the Governor.

in Kerman on the 25th May and left for Tehran on the 29th May.
The Rt. Revd. W. J. Thompson, Bishop in Iran, visited Kerman in April
and from the 2nd to 28th July.
Lieut. P. G. B. McNalty, I.A., a language student, arrived on the 7th
October and left on the 29th November for Shiraz.
III. BRITISH INTERESTS.
Trade .—British products enjoy a high reputation among Iranians, but
so long as the present f seal policy of the Iranian Government remains it is
practically impossible for local merchants to have any direct commercial
dealings with the United Kingdom or other parts of the British Empire ; the
restrictions on foreign exchange are an effective bar. Notwithstanding
these difficulties small quantities of British goods continue to find their way
to Kerman from time to time, chiefly through the monopoly companies.
There is a boom in bicycles as a form of locomotion. A large number of
new machines have appeared in this district during the past year and a fair
proportion of these are the British made ii Hercules costing ria s 600
(£7/]0/-) ; the remainder are of German manufacture selling at rials 500
(£6/5/-). ’
There is a risk demand for foreign piecegoods and Horncks’ products
were on sale at the Government cloth shop, but the majori y o impor e
piece goods are of Japanese and Russian manufacture.
Most of the tea consumed is Indian grown.
With the exception of carpets to London, which is now the recognised
eentre for the European markets, exports from this district to the U. iA.
and India are negligible.
