Negocios por correspondencia entre Cádiz y Tenerife, 1790-1799

Abstract

This article explores some of the businesses fostered by the correspondence relationship between Eduardo and Jacobo Gough & Co. from Cádiz and the trade house of Cólogan from Tenerife, in the last decade of the 18th century: hiring of insurance policies, trade in flour and wheat, products of Indies such as indigo, sugar and cocoa, and other provisions such as salty meat. For this, the correspondence sent from Cádiz by the Gough house has been used, which is kept in the Zárate-Cólogan Collection of Archivo Histórico Provincial de Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
