LEIPZIG. 311 members and 11 shops, £39,000 worth of goods in the same year. Of the aggregate sales of all three societies in 1906, about £190,000 represented goods which they themselves had produced, principally bread, flour, lemonade, cheese and underwear. Dividends on purchases were paid in 1906 at the rate of 10 per cent, by the largest of the three societies, and at the rate of 9 per cent, by each of the others. That the working classes of Leipzig obtain a large proportion of their household supplies from the co-operative stores is evident from the fact that the value of each member’s purchases averaged about £19 in the three societies mentioned. Two or more branch stores of co-operative societies are to be found in every working-class district, and their influence in determining the retail prices of provisions in their respective districts is hardly questioned by the private shopkeepers, many of whom endeavour, as in other industrial^ centres in Germany, to meet the competition not only of the co-operative stores, but also of the large concerns of the " universal provider ” type, by adopting a system of dividend on purchases similar to that in use at the co-operative stores. This system, as applied by private traders, is usually known as the Rabatt markensystem, inasmuch as it involves the issue of what are called discount coupons or stamps of a certain nominal value with each article sold, such coupons being redeemable in cash or in goods at fixed intervals. Groceries and other Commodities. The retail prices ruling in Leipzig for groceries and certain other household supplies of the quality most usually consumed by working-class families are shown below for two dates, viz., October, 1905, and September, 1906, being based upon returns obtained from the workmen’s co-operative societies and from some 20 private retail concerns (one of them owning several shops) in different parts of Leipzig. Predominant Prices paid by the Working Classes in October, 1905, and September, 1906.

The coffee usually bought by workpeople is the cheapest procurable Brazilian at 11 d. to Is. Id. per lb., and is eked out by the addition of a proportion of one or other of a variety of substitutes, of which the most expensive (“ malt coffee ”) costs Ad. and the cheapest (roasted barley) about per lb. Some idea of the extent to which substitutes are used may be gathered from the records of the sales of one of the co-operative societies in 1904-05, which included 16,000 lbs. of " malt coffee” as against 74,000 lbs. of genuine coffee, while those of a second society showed 9,500 lbs, of the former to 42,000 lbs. of the latter. . ' As regards sugar, the preponderance of the white granulated variety oyer all others as an article of working-class consumption is shown by the records of
