Retail Prices and Cost of Living Retail food prices are issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics biweekly in the form of press releases, and monthly in a printed pamphlet; prices of coal are published monthly in the pamphlet with food prices; prices of gas and electricity have been collected and published semiannually, as of June and December, the months of the cost-of-living surveys, but it is now planned to collect them quarterly, for periods corresponding to the changed dates of the cost-of-living surveys (see note below on cost of living). Com parative index numbers of retail food prices in the United States and certain 14 PUBLICATIONS OF BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS foreign countries are published quarterly. With a few exceptions, all of the data on retail prices are published in the Monthly Labor Review. The latest detailed report on retail prices published by the Bureau in bulletin form (No. 495) covered the period 1890 to 1928. Data on cost of living have been collected by the Bureau for many years semi annually, as of June and December, and published in a printed pamphlet and in the Monthly Labor Review, preceded by a press release giving summary figures. The printed report has also included a tabulation of comparative index numbers of cost of living in the United States and certain foreign countries. The Bureau now hopes to be able to make the cost-ofliving surveys quarterly instead of semiannually as heretofore. The latest survey was as of March 1935. A study of food costs in various cities. (M.
