According to his grandson John (Matthew) Ziffo, he was "the biggest shipowner in Greece [around 1850], owning about 20 sailing vessels, probably not larger than 600 or 700 tons each. They traded between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Adriatic ports: often venturing as far as London and Liverpool, carrying wheat, barley and other grain from Russia and Rumania, which countries were then the only ones that supplied, in large quantities, Western Europe with her requirements...Then the crash came; the Crimean War which on a smaller scale had the same disastrous after-effects as the Great War, and thousands were ruined, amongst others, John Ralli."

Notes:

The brothers Theodore A. Ralli and John A. Ralli, according to John (Matthew) Ziffo, John A's grandson, were the richest Rallis. "They set up in 1848, the year of the Crimean War. Theodore was established in Vienna; when he retired to Athens he bought a lot of valuable land, built the finest house in Athens of all white marble, in the Omonia Square which after his death was occupied by the British Legation. England paid rent for many years, £500 in gold, and ultimately bought it. I believe it is still [in 1933] occupied by the British Ambassador. He owned the plots on which now stand Schliemann's Museum, the Hotel Grande Bretagne, the Royal Stables, etc."
