880 Munich. A detailed record of the town’s meat consumption has been kept for many years by the Municipal Statistical Office. The following Table takes the analysis back to 1896 :— Meat Consumption per head from 1896 to 1905. Ox beef Other beef ... Veal Pork Other meat “ Imported meat” * Total 1896. lb. 44 7 3T9 42-7 49 7 5T 6-8 180-9 1897 1898. 1899. lb. 438 352 44 9 42-9 6-2 6-8 179-8 lb. 45-1 34-3 44-0 38-9 6-6 53 174-2 lb. 45-1 323 42 9 44-0 5-7 9-9 1900. lb. 42-7 32 8 42 5 48-0 5-5 8-6 179-9 180-1 1901. lb. 400 34-3 42-0 420 5-7 8-6 172-6 1902. lb. 39 4 34-3 39-6 37-4 5-9 10-3 1903. j 1904 1905. 166-9 lb 40 31- 35- 42- 5- 11- 166-8 lb. 39-4 27 9 32 6 46-0 5-3 141 lb. 36 3 30-6 332 36 7 5-7 15 2 165-3 157-7 * i.e., brought into the town ready for sale and not slaughtered in the public abattoir. This “ imported ” meat includes cured and preserved as well as fresh meat. The decrease in the consumption of ox beef, veal, and pork is the most significant feature of this comparison. If the comparison be carried back a further 10 years, the decrease in respect of ox beef and veal is still greater. While, however, the meat consumption oí the town was still 153*1 lb. per head of the entire population in 1906, there is no doubt that the consumption per head of the working classes is much less. Returns of lhe weekly expenditure of 150 working-class families, representing 623 persons, obtained for this inquiry, showed a weekly consumption per head of 29 ounces, which would be equivalent to an annual amount of 94 lb. The consumption of beef was relatively large, viz., 53 per cent, of the whole, and greatly exceeds that of North German towns. The consumption of veal, 11 per cent, of the whole, was also large, while that of pork and bacon, viz., 14 per cent., was relatively smaller than is shown by North German returns of meat consumption. Predominant Prices paid hy the Working Classes in October, 1905, und June, 1906. Description of Cut. Predominant price per lb. October, 1905. June, 1906.
