2. Various. Among hujbandtnen, from is. to ig, 

 6d. per day. 



3. Manufafturers get perhaps from is. 6d. to 2s. 

 and 2S. 6d. per day. How far manufacturers wacres 

 have affefted thofe of labourers, or vice verfa, is hard 

 to fay. The proportions are much as formerly. 



4. Small advances in thofe periods ; but perhaps 

 on the average about one-fixth, and thofe- moftly 

 within the lafl twenty years. 



5. The variations in the prices of labour, in con- 

 tiguous places, are fmall, and mud neceffarily remain 

 fo; for fuch variations being fubjeOs of common 

 converfation, and knowledge, are uniformly regu- 

 lated by fuch knowledge, &c. 



6. A confiderable rife, doubtlefs Icfs in corn, till 

 of late J but raoflly in butcher's meat, fay one-third; 

 in butter, one-third; in cheefe, one-third; in malt, 

 near one-half; in groceries, fay fugar, one-third ; 

 candles and foap, one-fourth. The rife gradual, but 

 moftly within ten or fifteen years. 



7. Tafk-work is common, but not uniform. It is 

 difficult to flate an average advance, it being fo much 

 in proportion to agility and induftry; perhaps one- 

 fourth more earning by tnjk than day icork may be 

 fiiirly affumed: but tafk work gives latitude to irre*- 

 gular working and improper expence. 



8. Increafrag the fize of farms has not been fup- 

 pofed to dccreafe population fo much as common 



notion
