The principal part of the exports are of the first assort- 

 ments. The three former from the Deccan, or southward ; 

 and the last from the westward, or through the Vizier's 

 dominions, is produced within fifty coss of Furruckabad, 

 in the aumildarry of the Rajah of Calpee, and very large 

 quantities of it are annually imported for the consumption 

 of the Honourable Company's provinces. 



The three latter kinds are only casually imported at 

 Mirzapore. Of these, the Misseerpore is brought in the 

 largest quantities from the westward, that place being in 

 the dominions of the Nabob Vizier ; the Gohrah comes 

 from Bundelkund, and that of Bhenom-ghur from the 

 Deccan or southward. 



The prices of cotton at Mirzapore vary almost every day. 

 Between the 1st April 1786 and 31st March 1789, the
