TERRITORY FOR TRADE

The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
commerce, of the department of com
merce. has just completed part III OF
a report on the cotton goods trade of
Turkey, n therein it is shown that
more thar $1,000, 900 worth of cotton
goods is imported into Bagdad each
year of which the United States SUP
plies practically none
Practically all of the al and about
three-fourths of the thread are now
imported from British India. Under the
heading Of piece goods are included all
the different kinds of cotton cloth inn
ported-sheetings, shirtings, prints,
ginghams. duck, khaki, etc. The prin-
cipal source of cotton goods imports
q always been England. but in re-
cent years British India has made 8.
considerable gain in this market. The
United States has been shipping cot
ton goods to points on the Persian gulf,
but did not, export any to Bagdad un-;
til 1912. when a Bagdad importer placer
a small order for drills and ducks with
a New York exporter.
Gray and white sheetings n shirt
ings constitute about three-fourths Of
the imports of cotton goods, and it has
been said that the United States can
not compete in this market for the sale
of these goods. All Bagdad importers
who have received samples from Amer
lean exporters are impressed with the
superior quality of the goods offered,
but they state that the price is too high,
and the terms too rigid. The masses
of the people are poor working classes
whose incomes are extremely small.
Cheapness is with them the principal
consideration and, generally speaking
they probably do not feel that super
Tor and more durable material, though
higher in price, is cheaper in the end.
The general imports of cotton goods
into Bagdad in 1903 were valued at SIS
2O7. 233: In 1909, at Sc, 478. 511: in 1910, at
$6,253,650: and in 1911. at 1902, S5l.
