The Gold & Silver exported for India, from the 2d of March 1673 to the eleventh of March 1674, was by entry at the Custome house for the Port of London, Five hundred sixty & odd thousand pounds, besides what was entred in the out Ports & without 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 & four pence which is ten per cent, & a twenty shillings piece of broad Gold to twenty & four shillings which is twenty per cent, & Guinneys in proportion, which 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; which is not sufficient to manage the trade, which is reputed to be above forty 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; which hath brought down the prizes of Land, Lead, Tin, Wollen & other manufactures.
