V . — Statistical Account of Anup shelter. 
A short account of this town and the neighbouring country may prove interest- 
ing, as having been at one time the emporium of a considerable trade in indigo, 
cotton, and wood. The town is situated on the west bank of the Ganges, very con- 
veniently for carrying on a trade with the Dudb and Rohilkhand districts, and 
there can be little doubt of its being again brought to notice in the mercantile 
world.

There are 14 Chaokiddrs in the town, receiving 42 rupees per month ; and 893 
havelis or tenements. „ , 
There is a trade and manufacture in coarse and fine cloth, blankets, boats, 
hackeries, soap, shoes, jamddni , cotton, and indigo ; and a considerable trade 
in the produce of the neighbouring country, and of wood and bamboos at the 
ghaut. The trade in former times must have been considerable : the dak mun - 
shi informs me lie used to receive 200 rupees per month ol postage, and now it 
seldom amounts to more than 3 or 4 rupees.
