About half the beef is of Bavarian origin, and Austria sends a large part of the remainder, while East and West Prussian beef comes through the Berlin market. The mutton is mostly Bavarian, and some of it is of exceptional quality. The veal is either Bavarian or Austrian, whilst Bavaria and North Germany now supply nearly all the pork. Prices at Munich are high. The level of prices at Berlin being taken as 100, the index numbers for Munich are—for meat, 107 ; for other food, 109 ; for coal, 100 ; and for all commodities, 107. The index number for rent and prices combined is 107.
