(a) Base year, 1920.
(b) Wholesale prices for wheat were given per 100 kilograms and converted to £P
per ton.
(c) Although no price is given in the Abstract for 1924, the Whole Price Index for
that year points to a relatively comparable price to 1925-1927.
(d) Tithe redemption prices were given per one kilo and converted to £P per ton.
Although these prices are lower than those given in the Abstract for 1925-1927,
they follow the same price movement. The discrepancy between the two sets of
prices may be because of a lack of distinction in the Abstract figures in the
variation between town and village prices. Average price for Simpson figures was
£P 10.39 per ton of wheat. Sources: Abstract, various years; Hope-Simpson
Report, 174.

1930), 25 (hereafter Johnson-Crosbie Report).
