bool choghak. On leaving Candahar for Quetta, I laid in a stock of 

 needles, little looking-glasses, pewter rings and wooden combs ; and again 

 on leaving Kalat-i-Naseer for Shikarpoor, I was obliged to lay in a stock 

 of pieces of coarse native white cotton cloth. For a whole piece I 

 used to get a sheep ; and eggs, fowls, milk, butter, &c. were only purchas- 

 able by the yard of cloth. In the autumn of 1841, even in the Ghiljaee 

 country, melons were sold for equal weight of wheat, and grapes for 

 three times their weight in wheat. 



On the army first arriving at Candahar, the wild hill Afghans who 

 got paid for the supplies they sold in Company's rupees, took them to 

 the town shroffs, and paid one and two annas batta to get them changed 

 for the " Kalamah-dar" or Candaharee rupee, thus giving eighteen 

 annas for eleven or twelve ; not being able to count, they talked of having 

 a " kid-skin" of rupees.
