part of their goods in the hands of an agent, and of purchasing their
new investments at the different weekly markets in the country.
Three quarters of the returns from Bangalore to JSagara are made
in cash.
From Seringapatam the imports to Bangalore are black pepper,
sandal-wood, and cardamoms: the return is made in every kind of
cloth manufactured here, with all the kinds of goods brought
from the lower Carnatic, to a far greater value than that of the
goods imported from Seringapatam.
From Gubi and its neighbourhood, in the centre of the Raja's
dominions, are imported pepper, betel-nut, and coco-nuts. The mer-
chants of Bangalore make the purchases at the weekly markets, and
carry with them chiefly money; but also turmeric, the produce of
this place; and oxen from Hosso-cotay, and Colar.
To Chatrakal (Chittledroog) the merchants of Bangalore send the
manfactures of the place, and in return receive country blankets.
The dealers carry their own goods from one place to the other, and
generally return with the produce in cash.
From Doda Balla-pura occasional traders bring fine red cotton
cloth manufactured there, and take back the produce in money.
From Namagundla, beyond Nandi-durga, are brought Jagory, raw
sugar, and sugar-candy, which are also sold for cash.
The places east from Bangalore, such as Colar, and Nursapura,
send money, and procure betel-nut and black pepper.
Betel-nut is the principal article of trade at Bangalore, and is of
two kinds; the best, called Deshavara, comes from the Nagara dis-
trict ; the inferior quality is called JVallagram, and comes from Gubi,
and all the places south from Sira, and north from Madura. This
last is chiefly reserved for country use; but the Deshavara is
