Economic Conditions.

Reference para 68 (a), the Consular Liaison Officer has
continued his campaign against hoarders but owing to the
dispersion of hoarded stocks he has r^ot succeeded in obtaining
much grain.
During the period under report there has been little food
available from the Government ambars except dates and rice which
has been issued in small quantities. The number of private
bread shops in the town has increased from six to fourteen which
seems to indicate that more wheat is being released to private
purchasers.
A mining company has been formed in Kerman under the name
of ’Shirkat-i-Zagal-i-Sang’ (the coal company) with a contract
with the Central Government to mine coal for ten years from the
Koh-i-Badumnieh about 7 farsakhs North West of Kerman. Some
coal has already been sold in Kerman at Rials 200/- per kharwar
which is below the present price of wood.
Reference para 69, coupons for cheap meals under the Anglo-
Iranian Relief Fund Scheme have been issued to 1400 people, and
by the- end of February over 1300 people were being fed daily.
Some stocks have been obtained below the estimated expenditure
and another 100 coupons will be issued immediately. It is
exp^eqted that a further saving will be possible enabling an
e^trension of tiie Relief Scheme. d > / €3a ^^ ^7 * & %
