Royal entertainment and stock market notes in London
Yesterday in Weymouth a royal entertainment pleased the nobility with superb decorations and a ball lasting past six. At the India House a guest list included Cornwallis and Mornington, with ships and packets moved under orders. The Bank of England advanced one and a half million to Wes-Jodia merchants and planned large specie issues to aid Hamburg trade. Sugar prices fell forty percent, Liverpool docks overflowed, and cargoes from Jamaica arrived, including sugar hogsheads and coffee. Meanwhile, a Madrid edict directs payment of Spanish bills in specie, a Dutch prison escape attempt occurred in Norwich, and heavy rains pressed farmers to dry grain.
