London Market Records and Bond Prices in Late 18th Century
A fragmentary London market report lists high water at London Bridge, stock and annuity prices, bank and insurance quotes, and various government and imperial securities. Notable items include South Sea stock and annuities, Royal Exchange Assurance, African copper, and Exchequer orders with percentages ranging around three and two percent. The entry reads as a collection of quotes with several typographical oddities and decimal-like figures.
