INdeed in general their ships have carried little or
no cargo, on the Company's account from India to China; so that
their loss by giving up the Tonnage to individuals would be none.
Where the Merchants to have their Goods carried freight free and
at the Comapnies risk from India to China, it is impossible to say
how much this trade from India to China would increase.
Besides Cotton and Opium, the Merchants send from the Malabar
Coast (exclusive of what goes from other parts of India) pepper
sandal wood, Ivory, Shark Fins, , Bezaar, Incencse, Pearl
Bar Gold, Gold and Silver coins, & a great variety of other articles annually,
in which the Company could not trade without great
loss, as the collection of most of these article require such a minute
as can only be paid by individuals who are early initiated
in the separate branches of it & who have gained by local
knowledge, an experience which none but those absolutely used
to the business can have. If the above plan took place, not only
all those exports would serve as remittances by our ships to
China, but also all the Tin, Gold dust, Wax , Pepper, and cargoes
of the Malay Traders & the Gentlemen both British and Foreigners
