For what Parts the Exchange is made.

THE Price of Exchange of Monies from one Country to another is usually made from and to the most eminent Cities or Towns, in each Place or Country where Commerce and Trade is held between Mer∣chants in Exchange of Monies; and the Trade ceasing at any Town, the Price currant for Exchange for that Town ceases with it: As for instance, when the English Merchant-Ad∣venturers had their Factors and Company at Delft, then there was a Price currant of Ex∣change from London to Delft; but the Com∣pany removing from Delft to Rotterdam, where they are at present, there is now no Price currant of Exchange from London to Delft, but from London to Rotterdam.
