§ MR. J. K. CROSSThe latest trade statistics received from the Persian Gulf political Residency are for the year 1882, and show that the imports of Bushire were 102 lakhs, and the exports 65 lakhs. We have no Reports from Bagdad and Bussorah; but no doubt the Foreign Office will obtain them for my hon. Friend if he wishes it.
