The public account of the grain market relies on the market scale book and the merchants’ sealed delivery chits. A review of that source and the field notes finds a specific limit: the count can be repeated, but it does not include a chipped bronze weight kept beside the market’s standard measure.
Nima Thol checked the market scale book and the merchants’ sealed delivery chits against the field notes. The method is to put the posted price beside the amount that actually changed hands; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them. The comparison covers 66 sacks weighed before the first bell; 66 appear in the prior file. No signed correction to either entry was present when this review closed.
Nella Voss, grain measure on the morning exchange, said the source register was complete for its stated purpose. The office has not provided a separate measure for whether the morning price rise reflects a smaller harvest or a bottleneck at the lift, so the public record cannot yet show which account is more representative.
Merchants cite fewer sacks at the gate; carriers say several loads waited below the cliff lift overnight. The current record does not settle that disagreement. This report does not establish that either side misstated the evidence. It establishes that the published total is narrower than the conclusion being drawn from it.
The affected crew has tried the revised procedure under ordinary working conditions. The entry belongs to the district return file at the Lower Market Hall beside the east stair. The market clerk will publish weights from the gate and the hall on the same day. The next file should preserve the original entries and explain any change in method.
