Aggregate average of ~ years, S7,42.
The circumstance which have produced the
principal fluctuations, are given US as follows,
by the gentleman who has so carefully preserv-
ed The record: "From 1894, TO go, scarcity in
France and England; from go 10 1900, export
10 England; 1906 to 1901, scarcity IN England;
1904 aud s, scarcity in Spain; 1903 and g,
long embargo; 1909, 10, and III, Peninsular
war; 1912, rs, and ~, war with England; 1876
and IL, scarcity in England" To this we may
add the cause Of an adj during the latter
par, of 1928, viz scarcity in Europe, particu>
larly in England. The state Of the currency in
1914 and rs Of course had an efrc: on the pri-
ces of those years. 1t deserves. 10 be consider
ed also, that The quantity Of circulating medi.
um and the value Of all sorts Of merchandise
have HuCtuated. We have calculated the aver
age price OF each year, and the aggregate aver
age Of the whole time. The highest yearly
average was that Of 1896, viz. Sl2,5o; the low,
es, that Of 1926, viz. S4,55. The lowest price
in March, 1921, VIZ. S3,75; and the highest
price in March, 1896, VIZ. BIS. lr one in
stance the price remained without any change
for eleventh months, but in very many others
