Uravakonda weekly market and cotton-weaving trade centre

high confidence
1905 Madras District Gazetteer, p. 166: 'It is the commercial centre of this end of the taluk and in its turn trades with Bellary... it is the principal home of the cotton-weaving industry in the taluk.' p. 70 ranks Uravakonda among the district's four best-attended weekly markets after Hindupur. Imperial Gazetteer of India, Madras Vol. I (1908), pp. 495-496: 'The main street is wide and regular... Uravakonda is the commercial centre of this portion of the Gooty taluk, and is also known for its weaving.' NOTE: the gazetteer mentions a stone well east of the town called the 'Mallisetti bhavi'; although '-setti' is a merchant title, the source states 'Local tradition knows nothing of Mallisetti except that he was some desayi' (a revenue headman title), so NO merchant-endowment claim is made for it here.
