DANTZIG. 173 charged there are lower than those for which similar articles can be bought at the shops. Prices at Dantzig are low. Taking the predominant prices at Berlin as 100, the index numbers for Dantzig are 98 for meat, 97 for other food, and 102 for coal, the general figure for prices being 98. Combining this figure with the index number for rent, a result of 88 is obtained, as compared with 100 for Berlin. Groceries and other Commodities. The following Table shows the predominant prices of certain household provisions other than butchers’ meat as charged by retail dealers in Dantzig at October, 1905, and October, 1906. Each price is based on the quotations of several dealers, among the latter being included the workmen’s co-operative society and stall holders in the municipal market. The makers of the returns were asked to give in each case the price of that quality of the article which was most generally bought by workpeople, but it would appear that, except in the case of coffee and sugar, the quality bought by workpeople is not cheaper than that bought by the middle classes.

The most general prices of coffee range from 8|¿. to about Is. od. per lb., and the quality usually bought by workpeople is that labelled “ Santos costing 84d per lb., a price lower than is paid for the article sold under that name m any of the other 32 towns covered by the present inquiry. The sugar used by working-class families for all purposes, including the sweetening of coffee, is a fine-grained variety of white granulated known locally as Streuzucker bacon, in the form with which we are most familiar with it m the United Kingdom- the rasher-is scarcely known in Dantzig, or, for that matter, in Germany richness to'otheÍdSies^íncluding vegetaMes^and^h^latterlsAlmost invariably boiled. The bread most generally eaten is the grey rje loaf, n Inch is reputed to weigh about 2-2 lbs. avoirdupois, and is sold for 2o pfenmge or about U. Fluctuations in the price of bread take the form of fluctuation in the weight of the loaf, the price of which remains the same. In October 190o the threepenny loaf weighed about one ounce more than m October 1906 Both Scotch and Silesian coals are used for domestic purposes, and of thetmo the former is the cheaper and more generally bought by workpeople.
