CAMELS AND HORSES. 
J 95 
A camel, laden or unladen . . 5000 wadas. 
There is no duty on goods, and, whether the 
camels are laden with rich burnouses or salt, it is 
all the same thing. 
Camels are very cheap in this country, and 
the best of all will not fetcli more than 40,000 
wadas, or about sixteen Spanish dollars. The 
Shereef is to purchase ours, four of them for 120,000 
wadas ; they cost about three times the sum in 
Mourzuk. Horses are not quite so cheap ; the best 
will fetch 100,000 wadas. # The exchange here is the 
same as in Kanou ; 2500 wadas is the value of the 
large dollar, or douro ghaleet, as it is called amongst 
the Moorish and Arab merchants.
