Aberdeen 'Fishery Statistics. 29 



The Price of Fish under War Conditions. 



These last Tables of ours bring us to the general question of the 

 price of fish under war conditions, a question which involves a great 

 many interesting points. It is, of course, only of the wholesale prices 

 in Aberdeen Market that we can speak here : the retail prices of the 

 shops are another part of the story. 



In Table U we show, month by month, the total landings of 

 trawled fish at Aberdeen, their total value, and the average wholesale 

 price per cwt., from 1912 to 1916. A supplementary Table is added 

 (U*), in which the first year of the series, 1912, is taken as a 

 standard, and the quantities, earnings, and prices of the correspond- 

 ing months in later years are expressed in percentages thereof.
