It will be seen by this contrast, that in the years 

 from 1796 to 1799, when the exports by sea from 

 Dantzic and Elbing were 1,493,480 quarters, the 

 expenses of conveyance, from Warsaw to the port of 

 shipment, with the profit or commission of the mer- 

 chants, was 16*. lid. In the years from 1803 to 

 1806, when the exports were 1,660,352 quarters, 

 the conveyance and profit of the merchants was 

 18*. lid. per quarter. 



Since the great decline of prices, which began in 

 1819, it appears that the average prices at Dantzic 

 are so near to those at Cracow and Warsaw, that the 

 rate of freight which has been actually paid, is greater 

 than the differences between them. In the four years 

 from 1821 to 1824, when the whole quantity shipped 

 from Dantzic and Elbing has been no more than 

 299,000 quarters, the difference in price between Cra- 

 cow and Dantzic has been only 8*. 6d. and between 

 Warsaw and Dantzic only 4*. 8d.
