Table 6.-Comparison of Canton and Bombay Prices of Cotton. A Bombay patent bale weights 3 cwt.; 24 bales are consequently equal to a candy of 7 cwt. A Calcutta bale of cotton weighs 2 piculs, and 5 bales make a ton of 50 feet measurement. At Calcutta, cotton is sold at sicca rupees per bazar maund. In lieu of a table of comparative prices, the following rule will suffice:

To convert sicca rupees per bazar maund into taels per picul at the exchange of 205 sicca rupees per $100,-Multiply the sicca rupees by the decimals .57, and the result will be very nearly correct. Thus, 12 sicca rupees per bazar maund, multiplied by .57, gives 6.84 taels per picul.

To convert taels per picul into sicca rupees per bazar maund, at the same exchange.— Add to the number of taels. Thus, T. 6.84 per picul, add ths, or T. 5.13 = Sicca

Note. The above calculations are made on the supposition that one candy of cotton weighs here 5.88 piculs. A tael is equal to 3 rupees, at the exchange of 216 rupees per $100.
