1767-Feb.-05: Market data for Port-au-Prince showed that white sugar was trading between 42 and 50 livres, while prices for other grades of sugar lacked a fixed regulated rate. Blue indigo was valued between 7 livres and 7 livres 10 sous, reflecting the commodity’s continued importance to the Western Province’s export economy. These price reports allowed enslavers to track the value of their agricultural output relative to other colonial hubs. The economic stability of the early 1760s was underpinned by these consistent maritime trade cycles and price benchmarks.
