Q I Stow's Annales, p. 130^. 



• The high prices of 1594 and 1595 were occafioned 

 partly by bad ''eafons, and partly by exccflive eiportation. 

 The iifual price of butter feems to have been Ji/: fee Stow in 

 thefs years. 



> Ait thepricesof wheat and malt, noted now and hence- 

 forward at WIndfor, are obtained from the books of Eton 

 -college. They are the averafje prices paid at Wind.'br mar- 

 ket at l.ady day and Micbaelmafsfor '.'ibej!qunl:lics^ the tas 

 ■being dedudled from tlie price of the malt : f.nd as the quar- 

 ■ter in that market contained nine Winchcfter bufhels til! 



the year 1793. one ninth muft be deduced in order to have 

 the price of the Wincheller quarter. Sir Frederic 'JdeR 

 calculates that the average value of all the wheat fit for 

 bread is eight ninths of the value of the beft wheat ; and, 

 aHuming the fame proportion for barley, he has, upon that 

 principle, conllruflcd tables, by which the price of wheat 

 on the average of 201 years (159.?-! 795) appears to be 

 £1 :l8:6i, and that of malt £1 :3:4j- by the Winchcfter 

 bufliel. {state/ thif tor, f. iii,//. kxjbuin.]
