Dear all:

What does the words in bold mean in the following passage? It is from the book The Asian Trade Revolution of the Seventeenth Century, by Niels Steensgaard, p. 140:

In practice this principle was modified at the moment trade was opened up between the factories themselves, but in the English material there are only faint traces of a distinction between capitals issued with returns in mind and a permanent circulating capital, and no traces of any conscious endeavour to build up a permanent circulating capital.

Many thanks in advance.
