XI ROAD TO JULFA AND AZERBEI JAN 113
controls all the carriage roads to Khoi and Bayazid,
Tabriz, Urmia, Teheran, etc.
Herr Dhoedt gave me many interesting details regard-
ing trade in North Azerbeijan, and I here cite a few
figures to give some general idea of its volume and of
the goods which are articles of exchange between the two
countries. They relate only to the country between Julfa

Cotton cloths . . . 3,36o „
Hides . . . . 12,700 „
Agricultural implements and hard-

Vehicles to the value of . 38,000 „
