176 DANTZIG. mean of the prices of the different cuts of beef at October, 1906, is found to be 8d., and that of the different cuts of pork about 8%d. per lb., and it is worthy of note that these prices are practically identical with the mean prices of beef and pork in Dantzig in 1906, as ascertained by the Prussian Government and cited further back on the authority of the Statistiches Jahrbuch für das Deutsche Reich. It may be stated in conclusion that the meat prices shown in the table are based on returns from private dealers only, and do not take into consideration the low prices at which meat officially condemned by the slaughterhouse authorities as inferior can be bought at the Municipal Meat-stall provided for the purpose of selling such meat, i.e., at the Freibank. Some 99 tons of meat forming parts of the carcases of animals found, on inspection, to be suffering from some disease, were sold at the Freibank in Dantzig in 1904, after precautions had been taken (by boiling or otherwise) to render the meat safe for human consumption. People who w T ere unable or unwilling to pay the usual shop prices were able to buy beef at the Freibank for 3d. to 4d. per lb., and pork at about 5\d. Where the beef has been boiled, a portion of the liquor is supplied with the meat.
