Four East Indiamen Loss Feared In Typhoon Seas
The Courier reports fears for four East Indiamen after a March ship from China described a heavy typhoon near the Chinese seas. Barrosa and others, including Wesford Elphinstone and Anne, were expected to be there when misfortune occurred. Insurance at Lloyds is said to be excessive. A Liverpool letter dated July 21 notes vessels arriving from Maranham and uncertain Pernambuco restoration, while Lisbon reports doubt. Market funds fell as many sold to realize profits, then recovered. Consols for August stood at 824 at noon.
