The said products have been valued at the above-written prices at the rate of respected current akçe. If these prices are deemed suitable, they must be confirmed; and as the prices of these provisions are demanded from different offices every year, they must be returned to our council after being registered to be given upon request. For these reasons, it is appropriate to relegate the matter to the Sanjak Administrative Council. The 17th of Tishrîn Awwal (1)317 (30th of October 1901).
