The import and export trade of this region in 1914 was therefore practically limited to the first seven months of the year. The imports, however, during that period were greater than usual, due largely to the fact that this city has recently been made the headquarters of an army corps and increased business was anticipated. The total value of the imports in 1914 was $1,525,720, as compared with $2,194,450 in 1913. Of the imports in 1914, goods from abroad amounted to $1,038,660 and goods from other parts of Turkey to $487,060.
