Ratio of Mean Predominant Price in Germany to Mean Predominant Price in England, taken as 100. 119 105 88 140 75 122 137 123 123 124 135 * Mean of Colonial or Foreign and Danish, t British or home-killed. X Foreign or Colonial. The predominant prices for England are cited from p. xxiii of the Report on the Enquiry into Prices, &c., in the Towns of the United Kingdom. As about 40 per cent, of all meat consumed in the British Isles is Foreign or Colonial, and the percentage of foreign meat for working-class consumption is certainly higher, it has been thought sufficient to take the average of the predominant prices of the two classes of meat in each case for comparison with the German figures. The price of " Foreign ” or Colonial butter has been similarly combined with that of Danish. The German prices are cited from the Table on p. above, It will be seen from the index numbers, or ratios of German prices to English, in the last column that the prices paid by the German working classes in October, 1905, were, in most cases, from 20 to 40 per cent, higher than the prices paid by the English working classes at the same period. But there were two very striking exceptions, viz., the prices paid for milk and for potatoes. For milk the German price was only 2\d. to 2Jd. a quart, as against 3d. to 4d. in England, a difference amounting to 25 per cent, of the English price. In the case of potatoes the predominant prices in Germany ranged from 2\d. to 3d. per 7 lbs., in England from 2^d. to 3\d. The difference is over 12 per cent, of the English price. Of the remaining commodities, butter was about 5 per cent, dearer in Germany, beef, pork, bacon and coal from 20 to 25 per cent, dearer, mutton, wheaten flour, and paraffin oil oo to 40 per cent, dearer. If we take the arithmetic mean of the above numbers' as a rough index to the relative price levels of the two countries, for commodities common to both, it is 117 for Germany, as compared with 100 in England. It does not follow, however, that this ratio fairly represents the relative prices paid in the two countries for the necessaries of existence. In the Report on the United Kingdom, the price levels of different towns were compared by the amount required to purchase the groceries, meat and coal in an approximate average working-man’s budget. It seems fair to apply the same principle to the present case, and to ask, if the average British working-man went to live in Germany, and tried to live there as nearly as possible in the same way as he had previously lived in England, purchasing the same food in the same quantities, how much more would he have to pay ? An attempt has been made to answer this question in the following comparative budgets / 2 30088
