Oats and trade notes amid wartime shipping bustle
The report details oats imported from Holland and destined for England to feed the Allied army in Germany, with shipments expected to carry them home. It lists ships entering and leaving by the London port, robberies in Fleet Street, and various religious notices, auctions, and a lengthy advertisement for biblical texts and library offerings. It mentions Newgate-like trials and local civic matters in York and London, with multiple dates, vessels, and prices interwoven in a dense 18th century market panorama.
