These contractors often supplied goods at high prices and of low quality. Cornwallis stopped the practice of procuring supplies through contracts and started the practice of procuring supplies through Commercial Residents and agents. These Commercial Residents fixed the prices of goods with the manufacturers and also made advances to them. Cornwallis reduced the members of the Board of Trade from eleven to five and placed it under the control of the Calcutta Council. He also issued instructions that the merchants would not be oppressed.
