At Ally gurh from 1804 to 1832. 



621 



about 173 grains, or equal to 86^ sicca weight of present standard 

 weight of 180 grains troy, so that one seer equals about two pounch 

 and a quarter, troy weight. 



In the present scarcity throughout the Upper Provinces, and south- 

 ern parts of India, this table will not be, perhaps, uninteresting, to 

 those who are desirous to make comparisons of the prices of grain in 

 other parts of the country, and I hope may elicit information of a 

 similar kind, and thereby embody a fund of knowledge that may be 

 found hereafter useful to Government and individuals.

[The statement above alluded to, was so voluminous, containing the prices of 

 ■wheat and grain for every month of each year, that it was impossible to set it up 

 for the pages of the Journal ; and it has, therefore, been neglected until now, 

 when it occurred that the average prices of each year, and the average variation 

 of price during the twelve months, might in themselves form an useful table for 

 record. — Ed.]
