Miscellaneous item exchange - Elephant exchange

Japanese: 雑物替 - ぞうもつがえ

This was one of the methods of trade in Nagasaki during the mid-Edo period. In essence, it was the same as the previous shiromonogae (exchange of substitute goods) and surplus sales. From 1729 (Kyoho 14), after the transaction of 30 Chinese ships with a fixed price of 4,000 kanme of silver, miscellaneous goods exchange was carried out at an average of 30 kanme of silver per ship. 40% of the price was copper (80% of the fixed price transaction was copper) and 60% was marine products. A miscellaneous goods exchange office was set up in Imauomachi, but in 1733 it was absorbed into the fixed price transaction (fixed price trade law), and the miscellaneous goods exchange office became a branch of the Nagasaki exchange office (payment office).

江戸中期の長崎貿易の取引方法の一つ。実質はそれまでの代物替（しろものがえ），有余売と同じで，1729年(享保14)から唐船30艘，銀4000貫目の定高（さだめだか）取引後，1艘平均銀30貫目分の雑物替がなされた。対価として4割を銅(定高取引は8割が銅)，6割を海産物で渡すもので，今魚町に雑物替会所が設けられたが，33年定高取引(定高貿易法)に吸収され，雑物替会所も長崎会所の一部局(払方会所)となった。
