These prices were determined by the court which basically was town board and court in one. I was surprised they bothered to set prices til I  found this note from a Revolutionary War soldier talking about his pay for service
Job Broughton, rank Private.,
"For my services as a minute man I was promised $8 per month, full rations for myself and my wife. The rations got best, as for the money I never got it, and if I had it would have taken
$500 to buy a half pint of whiskey."  (TL NOTE no mention made about when he was interviewed but  it must have been after 1809 since the court was still using shilllings and he said dollars)
