The Gold & Silver exported f{illeg}or India, from ye 2d of March 16753 to ye 1eleventh of March 1674, was by entry at the Custome house for ye Port of London, Five hundred sixty & odd thousand pounds, besides what was entred in the out Ports & without entr{illeg} entry exported.

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

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

The free exporting of Gold & Silver & laying so great impositions by Mulet on all the commodities & Manufactures of this Kingdom hinders the exporting thereof; wch hath brought down the prizes of Land, Lead, Tin, Wollen & other manufactures.
