Remarks.
The Bills drawn from the 15th December 1790, to June 1791, inclusively, have been sold at 36⁴⁄₁₁ ninetieths of a dollar per guilder, payable in sixty days—or in ninety, with interest for thirty days.
Those drawn in October and November, 1791, have been sold at the same rate of Exchange, for cash; or on a credit not exceeding ninety days—the purchaser paying interest for the whole term of the credit.
The terms, upon which the Bills in April, 1792, have been disposed of, were a credit of six months; the first two months without interest, and the last four months with an allowance of six per cent by the purchaser—the rate of exchange as before.
In July, August and October, 1792, the rate of exchange was 40 cents and seven mills per guilder; one moiety to be paid in two, and the other moiety, in four months, with interest from the time of each sale.
In November and December 1792, the exchange was 36⁴⁄₁₁ ninetieths of a dollar.

Secretary of the Treasury.
