Trade in Silver and Other Commodities, 1650 - 1750

"Manila had no purpose other than the trade in silver and silk"

"When the Portuguese go from Macao in China to Japan, they carry much withe silk, gold, musk, and porcelain; and they bring from thence nothing but silver. They have a great carrack which goes there every year and she brings from thence every year above six hundred thousand cruzados [approximately 17,000 kilograms]. And all this silver ... they employ to their great advantage in China".
