In this recorded commission speaking turn, Lederer challenges the claim that coal had a value of 35 marks for the final buyer. His objection distinguishes an asserted valuation from buyers’ willingness to purchase a given quantity:
Dies würde bedeuten, daß alle Käufer bereit gewesen wären, bei einem Preise von 35 Mk. dieselbe Menge, wie bei dem Preise von 12 Mk. zu kaufen.
English translation: This would mean that all buyers would have been willing to buy the same quantity at a price of 35 marks as at a price of 12 marks.
The intervention makes the quantity demanded essential to assessing the price claim. Its significance lies in this narrow test of the argument; the brief record supplies neither the surrounding exchange nor a broader policy position.
