The Langerode transported 35000 rijksdaalders towards Semarang to buy 2000 last rice and 20000 towards Tegal for another 1000 last. It was expected to buy a last for 17 rijksdaalders; due to the dryness the costs of a last were 29 rijksdaalders and while it was impossible to become a last for 21 rijksdaalders there were none rice bought at Semarang.
