Bagdad Is Important as a Distributing Center.

Attention is directed to the Importance of Bagdad as a distributing center for cotton and woolen textiles. Bagda<T]supplles the Tigris valley as far north-as Mosul and vicinity, also the Euphrates valley to the northwest as far as Der-el-Xor. To the northeast very large quantities are sent into Persia via Kermanshah and Hamadan. All this business is supplied and controlled by merchants in Bagdad.
