The trade of the country not having been yet opened a year since 
the inhabitants had deserted the place, no proper estimate can be 
formed of the quantity of exports and imports ; but it is on the in- 
crease every month, and is now about one fourth of the quantity 
that was exported and imported in the most flourishing time of 
Hydefs government. The son of the person who had then charge 
of the custom-house, states the following particulars of the trade at 
that period. In one year there were imported 1500 bullock-loads of 
cotton wool ; 50 bullock loads of cotton thread; £30 bullock loads of 
raw silk; 7000 bullock loads of salt; foreign goods from Madras 
300 bullock loads. At the same time were exported of betel-nut 
4000 bullock loads, and of pepper 400 bullock loads. 
From the quantity of the raw materials some estimate may be Extent of the 
formed of the extent of the Manufactures: 1500 bullock loads of 
cotton wool, and 50 of cotton thread, make rather more than 5100 
hundredweight, worth about SlfiO/. and £30 bullock loads of raw 
silk make 47,437ilb. worth about £7,000/.
