_Red cloth_, of a coarse kind, and brings an equally high price with the kerseymere we had with us. Salisbury flannels would sell very well. _Red shawls._ As turbans, and a few having fine borders, which are sold to the chiefs. Our imitation shawls would be highly prized: the more red they had in them, the better. _Copper pots and kettles_, tinned inside. _Brass basin._ If a little ornamented, so much the better. Flat ones are preferred. _Looking-glasses._ In stamped brass and other gaudy frames; and a small kind in little brass boxes called Lamma in Tripoli, are much admired. _Swords._ Very long, straight, and double edged; bought greedily by the Tuarick. _Guns and pistols._ Seldom taken, as they are not easily carried in bales. _Morgoom._ Which is the long striped carpet, made by the Arabs near Tripoli, and at Mesurāta on the sea-coast. _Turkey carpets or rugs_, of about six or eight feet in length and three in breadth, called Sejaada. _Kaftans_, of silk and cotton in stripes, or red cloth, as gaudy and cheap as possible: these meet with a ready sale. _Caps_, of the manufactory of Tunis, long, and having large tassels hanging from the crown. _Bornoose._ Large red mantles, some ornamented with silk or gold lace. _Horses_, which, if tall, will sell very readily for fifteen, or even in some places twenty negresses. Though the purchasers take the trouble to look at their teeth, they scarcely know a colt from an old horse. All animals of an imposing appearance, and long legs, are eagerly purchased. _Glass armlets_, of black and blue, made at Venice. _Powder_, flints, and lead in bullets, sell quickly. _Muslins._ For the chiefs to make shirts or turbans. _Bales of linen._ Thread, and gold thread, which the natives sometimes spin, mixing it with their cotton cloths. _Sundries._ Such as files, chisels, and hammers; a few perfumes, little boxes, and toys; all of which can be procured in Europe for a mere trifle. Nearly the whole of these articles are brought from Tripoli or Egypt, and are very dear even in Morzouk. We had none of these goods, which alone are objects of trade in the interior. _In Exchange for which the Traders bring from Soudan,_ _Slaves._ Chiefly females, the males not being worth so much money by nearly one-third, or sometimes one-half; are the principal goods brought by the dealers. _Zebed_ (civet.) Obtained from the cats which are kept in cages, and are at stated periods irritated to such a degree, that a profuse perspiration takes place, and the perfume is secreted in some folds under the tail; which, by securing the animal, they scrape off, and preserve in small boxes made of hide. A savage old cat will produce ten or twelve dollars’ worth in three heats. Their price is enormous, some being sold for three or four slaves.
