It is seen that those of the second kind had become more numerous, 

 those of the first fewer. In the case of all the kinds of co-operative socie- 

 ties which have been enumerated the prevalent t3*pe is that of a limited 

 liability society, except in the case of collective cellars which are held b}- 

 unlimited liabilit}- societies in forty out of forty-three cases. 



Of all the co-operative societies existing at the end of 1914 only 807 

 reported on their business. Owing to the mobilization of their staffs 215 

 made no report. 



Co-operative Societies for the Purchase and Sale of Merchandise. 



At the end of 1914 there were fifty-one consumers' co-operative socie- 

 ties and twenty co-operative granaries. During 1915 there were fourteen 

 new adhesions, so that at the end of the 3'ear there were eighty-five socie- 

 ties, sevent^'-five having limitec^and ten unlimited liability. Of this num- 

 ber only forty-eight reported on their business in 1914.
