The Gold exported for India from the 2.^d of March 1673 to the 11^th of March. 1674 was by Entry at the Custome house for the port of London five hundred Sixty odd thousand pounds beside was exported without Entry & in out Ports. The Comp.^a exporting so great quantities of Gold & Silver has inhanc'd the price of Standard Silver from under 5^s the ounce to 5.^s 4^d w^ch is ten ꝑCent & a 20^s pce of broad mony to 24^s w^ch is 20 ꝑCent. & Guin.^ee in ꝑportion w^ch is so much value above his Majestie's Coin that it doth not only hinder the Bullion of Gold & Silver being Coin'd but hath occasion'd all the weighty Coin to be Culled & Melted into Bullion so that theres not above 15 or 20 pounds of Currant money in £ 100.- when the light & Clipt is taken out.

It is thought there's not above 4 or 5 Millions of mony left in this kingdome w^ch is not Sufficient to manage the trade w^ch is reputed to be above 40 Mill.^s ꝑ Year. The Free Exporting of Gold & Silver & laying so great Impositions by Mulet on all the Commodoties & Manufact.^ures of this kingdome hindreth the Exporting thereof w^ch hath brought down the price of Land, Lead, Tin, Wool & all Wollen Manufact^ures & others.
