The Gold & silver exported for India, from ye 2d of March 1673 to ye 11th of March 1674 was by entry at ye Custome house for the Port of London, Five hundred sixty & odd thousand pounds besides what was entred in the out Ports & wthout entry exported.

The company exporting so great quantities of Gold & Silver hath inhansed the price of standard silver from under five shillings the ounce to five shillings & {illeg}four pence wch is ten per cent & a twenty shillings piece of broad Gold to twenty & four shillings wch is twenty per {illeg}Cent, & Guinneys in proportion wch is so much in value above his Majesties coyne that it doth not only hinder the Bullion of Gold & Silver imported from being coiyned, but hath occasioned all the weighty Coyn to be culled out & melted into Bullion

So that there is not above fifteen or twenty millions of pounds of currant money left in the {illeg}Kingdom wch is not sufficient to manage the trade wch is reputed to be above forty millions ina year.

The free exporting of Gold & silver & laying so great impositions by Mulet on all the cCommodities & Manufactures of this Kingd– hinders the exporting thereof, wch hath brought down the prizes of Land, Lead, Tin, W{illeg}ollen & iother manufatctures.
