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

and Tabriz and do not include the road through Khoi ; for

Tabriz the corresponding figures are twenty times as

large. From March 21 to November 3o, 1905, the imports

from Russia to Persia via Julfa were as follows :-

Flour .   .   .   .   16,000 batman 1

Loaf sugar   .   . 523,000   „

Soft sugar   .   .   .   22,100   „

Tea .   .   .   •   5, 200   »

Petroleum .   .   18,10o „

Iron and other metals   .   •   9)533   »

Millstones   49,912   

Cotton cloths .   .   .   3,36o   

Hides   .   .   .   .   12,700   „
Agricultural implements and hard-

ware to the value of   .   .   24,5o0 kran

Vehicles to the value of   .   38,000 „

along like wheels with four buffaloes.

During the same period 109,225 batman of dried fruits,

0 • chiefly kishmish, and 33,500 batman of cotton to the value

of 280,000 kran, were exported from Persia to Russia.

;

Besides these goods various smaller parcels pass in both

directions.

Russia had obtained from the Persian Government a

concession for the construction of a road from Julfa to

Tabriz, and had handed over the concession to a syndicate,

which commenced work in March and expected to have

finished by the end of the year. Three Russian engineers

were posted in the Persian Julfa to superintend the work.

They cannot have been distinguished by any particular

technical ability, for where the road runs through a narrow
