It has ofteu heen discussed, iii private couversations, wliether \ve ought 

 iu Denmark, as it has beeu done ahroad, to go over to the sale of Icilled 

 iustead of living fish. This is not what I here propose. We should, decided-

 cannot be bronght to market in living state. Even thongh the}^ turn out 

 to be of second quality, we learu from tlie Gerinau statistics that tliis is 

 to a high degree compeusated for by their number and cheap price.
