An "effet de commerce" translates as "a negotiable instrument". A negotiable instrument evidences to the holder a debt of money and is used as his payment (i.e. a bill of exchange) The Geneva 1865 revenue showed payment of the 5 centimes tax on a bill of exchange valued between 1 and 100 francs.

Ta Blair, that makes a little more sense.
"effects of trade" was an instrument used during the renaissance but I am unable to find out, or understand much about it "Blair" In translating, you cannot depend on word by word translation to convey the proper meaning.
