[London : James Whiston,
1684-1686?]
Description based on: Monday December 15th, 1684; caption title.
Printed in three columns.
For want of due information of the supposed standing, ebbing and flowing of the market: when, and where to buy and sell at currant [sic] prices, how to detect the diversity of frauds, &c. some are much prejudiced, &c. Nor is it oft-times their interest to be seen in proposing, or concluding bargins [sic]. For accommodation, the author, James Whiston, moderator to merchants, &c. is every change-time on the Royal Exchange, to be heard of at his house in Water-lane near the custom-House; who to his imployers [sic] advantage, is ready to buy, or sell all sorts and quantities of goods; and to serve them in any merchandizing occurrences, &c. Who faithfully prints and delivers these in the French tongue every Monday where desired, for six pence a piece, or five shilling the quarter.--at bottom of page verso.
This London-based commercial paper by James Whiston recorded the prices of various commodities and carried little, if any, foreign or domestic news; its appeal was to those wishing to know prices for goods offered to the merchant community of London (cf. McLeod).
