     Tyn which will remain in the kings hands at the end of the                                         contract} 9630

So great a stock of Tyn with what will be further raised in Cornwall must of necessity clog the markets & beat down the price of Tyn so low that after the contract ceases it will scarce sell for more then 40£ per Tonn nor be sold in less then 10 or 12 years time.

If 963 Tuns per annum could be sold at 40£ pr Tunn the ~ ~ ~ ~ present value of the annuity for ten years would be 283510£. From which if the charges of warehouse room & selling be deducted there will scarce remain 280000£. Which being deducted from the 522381£ leaves the Kings loss by the contract 242381£, or in round numbers, about 250000£, that is about 35000£ per annum at a medium.
