After a difficult installation at the end of Louis XlVth's reign, the Merchants Exchange Court at Montauban offers a continous series of tens of thousands of cases up to the Revolution. Through them appear commercial relationships and pratices that are often hidden from view in normal times by the obstacle of verbal agreements. They throw much light on such questions as the zones of influence of commercial centers, land and river traffic, and daily life of participants.
