The major cause of the increase in trade was that the supplies for the
Eastern Iranian markets were imported through Bandar Abbas for the
first time, and were forwarded by Kerman to Zahidan.
Mr. E. Teviot Kerr visited Kerman in April with a view to opening a
branch at Shahdad (Khabis). He visited Shahdad but the proposal has
been dropped for the time being on account of the state of the road.
Doctor Harrison and his party visited Kerman again during October to
resume their survey of Iranian Baluchistan and Mekran. Last year they
had been forced to abandon their survey owing to the refusal of the Military
authorities at Bam to provide them with the necessary escort.

The decline in the Carpet Industry mentioned last year continued until
the rial reached its highest value in the middle of the year. Carpets were
then fetching only 60 per cent, of their normal value, many orders were
cancelled and much hardship and unemployment was caused to the weavers.
As the rial began to fall in value towards the end of the year, condi
tions improved and a number of fresh orders were received. Prices had
risen to 20 per cent, by the end of the year and the market was brighter,
although still sub-normal.
Mr. A. C. Edwards, General Manager of the Oriental Carpet Manu
facturers Limited in London visited Kerman during April and decided to
close the branch. This was done by the end of the year. Mr. Timoyanaki,
the late Manager is staying in Kerman as an independent carpet agent and
expects to continue exporting to the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers L .,
on a commission basis.
