In moderu Japan, it is said that the municipal market has developed greatly in comparison with the perishable food markets in Europe. As the working class increased in population in large and regional industrial eities, they had had no other resource but to lessened the standard of living. In this paper I have attempted to look at the problem of agricultural marketing process again from the point of view of the reproduction of laboring power, in some stages of merchandizing of one. Japanese capitalist society under the industrial revolution in Meiji era and postindustrial revolution in Taisho era, took the social policy from a low wage point of view. Owing to this policy, the former type of daily necessaries markets, namely, that is regarded as a necessary means of livelihood (Lebensmittel) within community, were compelled to convert into modern types of one. Here we see that these new "public" market were built by municipality, Shi-Cho-Son, and public corporation such as "Sangyo-kumiai". These our public markets plan run parallel with the historical development of modern wage earner, and realized municipal retail markets in 1981 in Osaka-City and the others and the central wholesale market law in 1923, on condition that its publicity matches the lowering standard of living of the working class conditions. We think that this angle of the criteria of the reproduction of laboring power shall bring up new problems of agricultural marketing study.
