It is advisable for our service to have constant reports on what passes

in the trade and commerce between the Filipinas and Nueva España,

in order to ascertain and discover whether it continues to increase,

and what kinds of merchandise are traded, their prices, and in what

money or material. Accordingly we order the viceroys of Nueva España

to send to our royal Council of the Indias in each trading fleet,

a copy of the registers that the ships brought from those islands,

and also of those of the ships sent thither; and all shall be made

with great distinctness and clearness. [Felipe II--Madrid, January 17,

1593; and Toledo, June 9, 1596.]
