Abstract

Taking Cadiz as a case study, this article analyses the changes that took place in the provisioning areas of the Spanish periphery in the second half of the Eighteenth Century and the beginnings of the Nineteenth Century and poses that public regulation of wheat and flour markets through granaries and maximum prices didn’t prevent grain merchants from playing an important role in supplying the population. It is based on two main primary sources: the accounts of the town granary and of those of the British factory at Cadiz.
