1767-Feb.-13: Market indicators from Saint-Marc showed a stable but high price for colonial exports, with cotton trading at 200 livres. Essential metropolitan imports remained expensive, with Moissac flour reaching a price of 90 livres per hundredweight. In the Cap-Français market, superior quality white sugar was reported to have sold for as high as 64 livres in the previous month. These economic statistics allowed colonial residents to track the fluctuating value of their agricultural surplus and the cost of European provisions.
