Report of a Mission to Yarkund in 1873 : vol.1 |
( 503 )
Market begins at 8 o'clock and remains in full swing till mid-day, from which time till sun-down the numbers decrease.
The numbers given represent the crowd as it would actually be during the most busy time, but there is a constant influx and efflux from the city, so that comers and goers would bring
the number up to something over 30,000.
The trade represented is a purely lochl one, and has nothing to do with the exchanges and transfers of merchandise in the larger sense.
