Appendix III.
DISTRICT MARKETS, 20TH JANUARY 1874.
Tara Sing's Report.
I started on the 1st January to visit the bazaars in the Kashghar circuit.
I halted, on the night of the 1st, at the village of Yandúma about 10 miles distant from Yangi-Shahr; this is a village of some 60 houses; as far as this point I had travelled on the Aksu road.
2nd January. I reached "Shumba Bazar" about 20 miles from Yandúma; the name of the village where this bazaar is held is Jewatchi; there are about 80 houses in this village, which is in the district of Kizzil-úi; there are two serais here for travellers.
In the Kizzil-úi district there are altogether about 790 houses.
3rd January. There was a bazaar held at Jewatchi: stalls were temporarily occupied as follows:—
30 Bakers. 6 Carpenters.
4 Iron-smiths. 30 Cutlery, &c., spices.
30 Agents for buying cotton. 20 Sellers of fruit, &c.
15 Sheep butchers. 10 Purchasers of country cloth.
2 Beef ditto. 5 Basket sellers.
10 Sellers of hats. 6 Tinkers.
10 Ditto of boots.
In addition many hawkers of silk, cotton, thread, &c.
There are only ten permanent shops in this place, and on the evening of the bazaar-day the whole of the stalls are vacated.
About 6,000 men assembled on bazaar-day.
Men collect from Kashghar, Faizabad, Artush, Yangi Hissar, and a few men from Yarkand.
Sale during one Bazaar-day.
Tangas.

The above represents an average day's business on bazaar days at Shumba Bazaar.
The revenue of the Kizzil-ús district is as follows:—One-tenth of the produce of grain of all kinds = 38,000 charaks. With every 30 charaks of grain the Hakim will claim one donkey load of straw, or an equivalent amounting to 1 tanga 36 puls; this represents 12,664 loads, or 21,785 tangas 26 puls.
