Analyzes the persistence of the obligatory distribution of merchandise after its abolition in 1780, based on sources in the Departmental Archive in Cuzco. These illegal distributions were different from the earlier legal ones, mainly because a key element was missing : locally-made cloth. Analyzes too the involvement of leading Cuzco families in the system before 1780, stressing their commercial and family relations with the corregidores (local authorities) of the southem Andes. After 1780, these same families were scarcely involved with the development of illegal distributions, which prevented their regaining their previous dominant position, based precisely on distributions and the production of textiles (and cereals). The illicit distributions are examined as only one thread in a network of commercial and economic activities pursued by the officials of the Cuzco and Puno intendancies.
