[John Stow gives us the following account of the ' dearth without
scarcity' in London in 1573:—This yeere about Lammas [1 August],
wheate was sold at London for three shillings the bushell, but shortly
after it was raised to foure shillmgs, fiue shillings, sixe shillings, and
before Christmas to a noble [6s. 8d.] and seven shillings, which so
continued long after. Beefe was sold for twenty pence, and two and
twentie pence the stone, and all other flesh and white meats at an
excessiue price : all kinde of salt fish very deere, as fiue herrings [for]
two pence, &c. yet great plentie of fresh fish, and oft times the same
very cheape. Bay salt at three shiUings the bushell, &c. All this
dearth notwithstanding (thanks be giuen to God) there was no want
of any thing to him that wanted not money,   p. 1147, Ed. 1600.
