The fish consumed by the working classes is usually only herrings, salt or pickled; the latter cost under Id. each, whilst salt herrings are somewhat cheaper and cost about 6|d. a dozen. Fresh herrings are obtainable usually only for a few weeks ; during that period they are sold by weight, usually at Id. per lb. A special Crefeld delicacy is “ fresh sea- mussels,” which are advertised by many of the cheaper restaurants. Horseflesh is much eaten (there are four or five horse butchers in the town), and the price has risen greatly during the last two years, the usual price being about 5d. per lb., as compared with 2fd. two years ago, whilst the best cut (the fillet) costs about 6|d. Prices in Crefeld were, on the whole, at about the same general level as in Berlin, though the prices levels for the chief groups of commodities differed considerably. Taking prices in the capital as 100, the corresponding figures for Crefeld would be 102 for food other than meat, 113 for meat, and 71 for coal, while for all commodities taken together the figure is the same as in Berlin, whilst the index number for rent and prices com! ined is 90.
