CHAPTER
XIV.

A JOURNEY FROM MADRAS THROUGH

Raw-silk, for the use of the manufacturers above the Ghats is
imported from China and Bengal; and from Muscat a kind of red
dye, called Munjisht, which I believe is a species of madder.

Sugar is imported from Bengal <md China, and oil and Ghee (boiled
butter) from Surat.

Much of the cloth used in the country is brought from above the
Ghats; partly by the merchants of this place, and partly by those
of Bangalore and Cuddapa.
