1767-Jan.-21: Commercial reports from Port-au-Prince and Léogane indicated a stabilization of commodity prices for colonial exports. White sugar in Port-au-Prince was valued between 46 and 52 livres, while cotton remained steady at 190 to 200 livres. In Léogane, prices for mixed indigo were recorded at 6 livres 10 sous, reflecting the ongoing productivity of the western plains. These periodic economic updates allowed planters and merchants to coordinate the sale of their produce across the island’s primary markets.
