Ahmood and Broach cotton (though most of the 

 cotton from Guzerat passes by the name of Ah- 

 mood) bore price this last season (1789), in March 

 Rs. 95 per candy, and in April Rs. 98, and fell 

 before the season closed in May, to Rs. 88 or 

 Rs. 90 ; but the price must always depend upon 

 the place where it is to be delivered. The above 

 price was at Surat, which, including the following 

 charges, raises the price from the original cost, 

 for example, at Broach.
