Ruo Industry Has Suffered.

Persia's rug industry has suffered
materially as result Of the closing
Q fthe bazars at Tabriz and other Per
sian cities. The difficulties of trans.
portation on the highways of Persia
and the lessened American demand
for luxuries have contributed in no
small measure to the depressed con-
dition of the Persian rug trade. Prices
have fallen recently by one-third and
rug exports have fallen off by one.

only between five and ten cents
