The Gold and Silver Exported for India, from the second of March 1673. to the eleventh of March 1674. was by Entry at the Custom-house, for the Port of London, Five hundred sixty and odd thousand pounds, besides what was Entered in the Out Ports, and without Entry Exported.  
The Company Exporting so great quantities of Gold and Silver, hath enhanced the price of Standard Silver, from under Five shillings the Ounce, to Five shillings and four pence, which is Ten per Cent. and a Twenty shillings piece of broad Gold to Twenty and four shillings, which is Twenty per Cent. and Guinneys in proportion, which is so much in Value above his Majesty's Coin, that it doth not only hinder the Bullion of Gold and Silver, Imported, from being Coined, but hath occasioned all the weighty Coin to be Culled out and melted into Bullion.  
So that there is not above Fifteen or Twenty pound of Currant money in One hundred pound, when the light and clipped money is taken out.  
It is thought there is not above Four or Five millions of 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 and Silver, and laying so great Impositions by Mulct, on all the Commodities and Manufactures of this Kingdom, hinders the Exporting thereof; which hath brought down the prizes of Land, Led, Tin, Wool, and all Woollen and other Manufactures.
