The products within the Presidency being comparatively few, the 

 external trade consists chiefly of Foreign merchandise, imported by sea, 

 and brought from the interior. Piece-goods compose the Company's staple 

 export. The inland trade of the Coromandel Coast, and the Northern 

 Circars, is carried on through the various passes leading into the Mahratta 

 country. Hydrabad is partly supplied with merchandise of various kinds 

 from Masulipatam, and partly from Surat. Previous to the last Mysore 

 war, a market at Fort St. George was held only one day in the week ; at 

 present it is held daily, for the convenience of merchants in Mysore, and 

 from various parts of the Deckan; to which places, Bengal manufactures are 

 transported principally by land carriage. 



Port Regulations. — A notification shall be sent by the Collector of 

 Customs, through the Master-Attendant, to the Commanders of all ships 

 coming into the roads, requiring them to transmit a true and complete 

 manifest of all the goods and merchandise laden on board, agreeably to an 

 established printed form; which, if necessary, shall be verified on oath.
