102 report of the scottish commission 



In Denmark. In Scotland. 



Pigs caii be sent almost any 

 day to a factory. 



Price is known before con- 

 signment. 



Pigs have to go to market on the 

 sale day — whether convenient or 

 not. 



The price depends on a chance 

 supply of pigs, a chance .itten- 

 dance of buyers, and sometimes, it 

 is believed, a chance that buyers 

 have an understanding not to bid 

 against each other. 



It is pretty clear that much more expense is incurred in Scot- 

 land in converting a pig into bacon ready for the consumer than is 

 incurred in Denmark.
