lio A VOYAGE TO Book VIÍ. 



common among- the men^ occasions a great de^ 

 mand for leaf iobacco. The limpions are made 

 of Guayaquil tobacco mixed Avith some of that 

 brouii:ht from the Havannah to Panama; but that 

 used in smoaUiiii;- comes from Santa Mayobamba, 

 Jaen de Bracamaros, LluUa, and Chillaos, where it 

 grows in the greatest plenty, and is best adapted to 

 that purpose. 



All the timber used in building houses, refitting 

 Miips, or building small barks at Callao, is brought 

 from Guayaquil, together with the cacao ; but the 

 consumption of the latter is here very small, the 

 Paraguay tea being more generally used. The tim- 

 ber trade is carried on by the masters of ships, who 

 bring it hither on their own account, as we have 

 already observed in describing Guayaquil, and de- 

 positing it in store-houses at Callao, sell it as oppor- 

 tunity oilers. 



TiiE coasts of Nasca and Pisco send to Lima 

 Avine, brandy, raisins, olives and oil : and the king- 

 dom of <^hili, wheat, iionr, lard, leather, cordage, 

 wine?, dried fruits, and some gold. Besides these 

 all sorts of goods are also laid up at Callao, in stores- 

 houses built for that purpose; »ome on account of 

 the owners who remit them, others for masters of 

 ships who purchase them on the spot where they 

 grow, or are made. Every Monday during the 

 whole year there is a fair at Callao, w hith.er the pro- 

 prietors and dealers resort from all ])arts ; and the 

 goods arc carried according to tlie buyers' direction 

 on droves of nudes kept there for that purpose by the 

 masters of the warehouses, and whose profit wholly 

 consists ill the hire of these beasts. 



The provisions brought to Lima are not only 

 gufiicient to supply its numerous inhabitants, but 

 great quantities of all kinds are sent to Quito, and 

 its jurisdiction, to Valles and Panama. Copper and 

 tin in by.rs arc brought from Coipiiiubo; from the 



mountain!»
