or CANTARO, in commerce, a weight used in Italy, particularly in Leghorn, to weigh some sorts of merchandizes.—There are three sorts of cantari, or quintals; one weighs 150 pounds, another 151, and the third 160: the first serves to weigh alum and cheese; the second is for sugar, and the third for wood and cod-fish.

Cantar is also a measure of capacity used at Cochin, containing four rubis.
