ORIENTAL COMMERCE. 



Captain Elmore says, if you do not make any sale at Mocha, you do 

 not pay any port charges ; but if you sell any thing, even one bag of rice, 

 you become liable to pay the whole, as if you had sold the entire cargo ; 

 but if your sales are likely to he but trifling, settle with your broker, and be 

 very clear and positive w ith him not to pay any port charges, nor presents 

 to the Xeriff; or else you must put what cargo you sell on board some ship 

 iu the roads, who is landing goods, and have them sent on shore as his 

 cargo. 



If bound to Judda, you should procure a pilot here, agreeing with hrm 

 for the run; which will be from 50 to 100 Mocha dollars for the trip there 

 and back, besides a suit of clothes at J udda.

In delivery of rice, out of every tomand of rice, you give, as is cus- 

 tomary, half a measure to the Governor; and for every 12 tomands, to the 

 different coolies, 1 measure : besides this exorbitant demand, the Governor 

 takes from the merchant who buys the rice, 5 measures out of every tomand 

 for himself, and 2 measures for the coolies. 



Phovisions and lii' frkshmexts ore plentiful and good, as well as 

 extremely reasonable: — a fat sheep, or a milch goat and kid, for a dolkr; 

 12 fowls for the same; beef, Ud. per lb. Fish, of many. kinds, are cheap 

 and excellent. New cheese and fresh butter are daily brought to market 

 from a place called Musa, about 20 miles inland. In summer there b plenty 

 of various fruits, all of which are reasonable. Good water is scarce ; that 

 frora the town wells is brackish, and disagrees with strangers ; that brought 

 from Musa is at all times indifferent.
