Summary (also from the next page)

On 14th 1500, a list of trade goods was made. Several textile products were mentioned, including bleached Guinea linen and bleached Salampores. 1,000 pieces of fine bleached Parcalles were received that year, along with 1,000 pieces of bleached Allegias from Coromandel, 1,000 pieces of bleached red Chelas, 1,000 pieces of blue Radaphons, and 2,000 pieces of sailcloth, mostly black.

500 pieces of Sarasses were painted according to Japanese samples. The Thomese ray skins, which usually gave good profits, could not be sent in too large quantities. They needed to be well-protected from moisture and packed tightly, as the slightest dampness could ruin and infect an entire package.

From Persia, 3 to 4,000 pieces of black prepared goatskin leather from Esfahan were listed. From Surat, 150 to 200 picols of good Catchie were recorded. They didn't request any Putchock since Japan was still well-stocked and there was little demand. It was noted that if none was sent for 1 or 2 years, it would find a better market and return to its previous price. That year it sold for 17 Tael per picol.

From Siam, they had not yet received their annual order, which consisted of:

  • 70 to 80,000 pieces of various deerskins
  • 6,000 pieces of large cowhides
  • 3,000 picols of sappanwood
  • 3 to 4,000 pieces of buffalo horns
  • 8 to 10,000 pieces of Aijnemonne and Onico ray skins
  • 12 picols of wax for office use
