Part I of this report presents a summary of the. complete report
and covers retail prices of the principal articles of food from 1890 to
1911, retail prices of coal, for household use, from 1907 to 1911, and
net prices of gas, for household use, from 1907 to 1911.
Part II presents general tables showing actual prices of the prin
cipal articles of food, of coal, and of gas for the years 1907 to 1911.
EXPLAN ATIO N OF TABLES.
This report includes five general tables, as follows:
Table I.— Retail prices of the principal articles of food every
second month, 1907 to 1910, and every month during 1911, by cities
and by firms.
Table II.— Relative retail prices of the principal articles of food,
1890 to 1911, by geographical divisions.
Table III.— Retail prices of coal, for household use, on the 15th
of January, April, July, and October, 1907 to 1911, by cities and by
firms.
Table IV .— Relative retail prices of coal, for household use, 1907
to 1911, by cities.
Table V.— Net price, per 1,000 cubic feet, of gas, for household use,
on the 15th of April, 1907 to 1911, by cities and by companies.
Table L — Retail prices o f the principal articles o f food every second
month, 1907 to 1910, and every month during 1911, by cities and by
firms (pp. 11 to 330).— This table includes 39 of the most important
industrial cities in the various sections of the United States. For
each city prices are quoted for 16 principal articles of food. Price
quotations were secured for each of the articles from several firms
within each city on or about the 15th of January, March, May, July,
DigitizedSeptember,
for FRASER and November, 1907 to 1910, inclusive, and on or about

the loth of each mouth during 3911. This table shows tliese price
quotations in detail and also averages for each of the five years. The
average price? for the year is a simple average found by adding
together six quotations and dividing by six for each of the years 1907
to 193 0, inclusive, when quotations won? secured for every second
month, and by adding together 12 quotations and dividing by 12 for
the year 1911, when quotations were secured for every month.
The 39 cities arc arranged in alphabetical order, and under the
various cities the 16 articles follow a uniform order, beginning with
fresh meats. The particular grade or description of each article is
shown in connection with the price quotations. Great care was
taken to secure prices throughout the five-year period for an article
of as nearly uniform grade or quality as possible within each store, as
changes in quality are of course reflected in prices.
Quotations were secured and are presented in this table from more
firms in each city for the years 1910 and 1911 than for the years 1907
to 1909.
The price quotations were secured from the retail merchants by
agents of the Bureau of Labor for the period from January, 1907, to
the time of the agent’s visit in the summer or autumn of 1911. At
the same time that the price quotations for preceding dates were
secured the agent arranged for the retail merchant to furnish quo
tations direct to the Bureau on the loth of each succeeding month
upon a form furnished by the Bureau. As these monthly price
reports have been received by the Bureau the quotations have been
carefully examined, and where questions have arisen the matter has
been cleared up either by correspondence or by return visits of agents
of the Bureau. The retail merchants assisted the agents in every
possible way in tracing prices back through the earlier years of the
period, and the hearty and prompt response to the request for monthly
price reports has far surpassed any expectations.
In order to avoid identification, names of firms arc not disclosed,
but each firm has been given a number which enables one to follow
the prices quoted throughout the period by any firm.
Table II.— Relative retail 'prices o f the principal articles o f food, 1S90
to 1911, by geographical divisions (pp. 351 to 858).— This table shows
for each of 15 principal articles of food the relative price for each
year from 1S90 to 1911, inclusive, and also for each month of 1911.
No relative prices for leg of lamb (yearling) are included in this table,
for, as explained in Part I, page 42, the age of the sheep (yearling)
varies from approximately 9 to 18 months, and, with some firms,
the age varies considerably with different seasons of the year.
As explained in Part I of this report, a relative price, or an index
number, as it is technically called, of any article is the per cent which
the price of that article at any certain date is of tiie price of the same
EE TAIL PRICES, 1890 TO 1911---- GENERAL TABLES.

article at a date or a period which has been selected as the base or
standard.
The base selected for this compilation of retail prices is'the average
price for the 10-year period, 1890 to 1899. This base period is the
same as was used in the preceding Bulletins on retail prices and
wages and hours of labor and in the several presentations of whole
sale prices in the Bulletins of this Bureau. The average for the 10-year
period is used as the base for the reason that an average price for a
number of yearn more nearly represents average or normal conditions
than does the price for a single year, because of unusual conditions
that may prevail in any one year.
The value of the relative price is that it enables the reader to follow
more readily the course of prices of a single article, and when these
relative prices are combined to follow the course of prices of groups
of articles. The relative price also permits the continuation of a
price series when, for any reason, quotations from one firm are dis
continued and quotations from another firm for a different quality
or brand of article are secured instead, which article, though differing
somewhat from the one formerly quoted, equally well represents the
trend of the general market.
Several steps were necessary in order to arrive at the relative prices
for an article for a geographical division or for the United States, as
follows: For the period from 1890 to 1903, during which time
there were no changes in firms furnishing quotations of prices, (1) A
relative price for each of the 14 years was computed for each sched
ule or statement of prices from a firm by calculating the per cent
which the average price for each year was of the average price for
the 10-year period from 1890 to 1899, this period from 1890 to 1899
having been selected as the base, or 100. (2) After the relative prices
were computed for all of the firms quoting prices for an article,
the relatives were added and the sum divided by the number of firms,
which produced the relative prices for the city. (3) The relative
prices for all of the cities within a geographical division were added
and the sum divided by the number of cities included, which pro
duced the relative prices for the geographical division. (4) The rela
tive prices for all of the cities included in the study were added and
the sum divided by the number of cities, which produced the relative
prices for the United States.
The many changes in firms furnishing prices, and also the changes
in grades and brands of articles, made additional steps advisable in
computing the relative prices for the period since 1903, and the
method used for 1904, for instance, was as follows: (1) For all firms
added in connection with the 1904 work, prices were also secured for
the preceding year. (2) For each schedule or statement of prices tiie
per cent which the average price for 1904 was of the average price for
8
B U LLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR.
1903 was computed. This produced the relative price in 1904 with
the preceding year as the base, or 100. (3) After these percentages
were computed for all of the firms quoting prices for an article,
they were added and the sum divided by the number of firms, which
produced the percentages for the city, or the relative prices for
the city (with the preceding year as the base, or 100), (4) The
percentages for all of the cities within a geographical division were
added and the sum divided by the number of cities included, which
produced the percentages for the geographical division or the relative
prices for the geographical division (with the preceding year as the
base, or 100). (5) The relative prices for all of the cities included in
the study were added and the sum divided by the number of cide3
which produced the percentages for the United States or the relative
prices for the United States (with the preceding year as the base or
100). (6) After these percentages for a geographical division were
computed, the relative prices on the 1890 to 1899 base were found by
applying the percentage to the relative price (with the 10-year period,
1890 to 1899, as the base) for the previous year. Thus, if the 1904
price of wheat flour was 115.87 per cent of the 1903 price in the North
Atlantic division and the 1903 relative price on the 1890 to 1899 base
was 102.1, tlie price for 1904 on the 1890 to 1899 base would be 115.87
per cent of 102.1, or 118.3. (7) After the percentages for the United
States were computed the relative prices on the 1890 to 1899 base
were computed in the same manner as for a geographical division.
In computing relative prices for the months of 1911 the actual
prices for each month were compared with the average price for 1910.
The relative prices shown in this table differ to some extent from
those shown in Bulletin No. 77 for the reason that fewer cities are
included. It was not possible for the Bureau at the present time to
include the original number of cities, but the cities included are
represented by a larger number of price quotations than were for
merly shown.
The 39 cities for which prices were secured have been grouped into
five geographical divisions as follows:
North Atlantic division:
Boston, Mass.
Buffalo, X. Y.

Table II I.— Retail prices of coal, for household use, on the loth o f
January, A pril, July, and October, 1907 to 1911, by cit ies and by firms
(pp. 359 to 44&)'— This table shows prices of Pennsylvania anthracite
coal, stove size; Pennsylvania anthracite coal, chestnut size; and
bituminous coal in all the cities for which retail prices of food arc
shown, with the exception of Atlanta, Ga., Charleston, S. C., Port
land, Oreg., and Scranton, Pa. In some cities practically no bitu
minous coal is used for household purposes, and in others practically
no Pcnnsjdvania anthracite coal is used. In a few cities Colorado coal
is quoted and in one or two cities Welsh and other varieties of coal
are quoted.
Prices are quoted for coal in ton lots, in half-ton lots, and in bushel
lots, or in 100-pound lots viicn sold in small quantities. In connec
tion with prices the number of pounds per ton, half ton, and bushel
is also shown. In addition to the price quotations for each quarter, a
yearly average has been computed by dividing the sum of the four
quarterly quotations by.four. The prices quoted arc for coal delivered
to consumers, but do not include charges for storing ton and lialf-ton
lots in cellar or coal bin where an extra handling is necessary, except
where noted in connection with the price quotation.
The price quotations were furnished by coal dealers in each city,
who kindly responded to a request from the Bureau for this informa
tion. In order to avoid identification firm names are not disclosed,
but each firm has been given a number, which enables one to follow
the prices quoted throughout the period by any firm.
No prices for coal have been included in previous reports on retail
prices issued by the Bureau of Labor.
Table IV .— Relative retail prices o f coal, for household use, 1907 to
1911, by cities (p. 450).— This table show's for ton lots of Pennsyl
vania anthracite stove coal, of Pennsylvania anthracite chestnut
coal, and of bituminous coal the relative price each year from
1907 to 1911. The relative prices vrero computed using the average
price for the year 1907 as the base, or 100.

industrial establishments. The prices are the same for gas for
illuminating, cooking, and heating purposes, except as noted in the
table.
The data were furnished by the gas companies, who kindly re
sponded to the Bureau’s request for this information.
No prices for gas have been included in previous reports on retail
prices issued by the Bureau of Labor.

1 The prices are for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the ago
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices arc computed for this article in
this report.

i The prices are for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The ago of the Sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the age
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices arc computed for this article
in this report.

1 The prices arc for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
( “ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the age
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.

1 Tho prices are for tho article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep (“ year
ling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the age varies con
siderably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article in this report.

iT he prices are for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the age
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.

1 The prices are for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firmsj the age
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.

varies considerably with dillerent, seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article in
this report.

1 The prices are for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the age
varies considerably with diilerent seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.

1 The prices arc for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the age
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.

1 The prices are for the article generally knowm to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
( “ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the' fact that, in some firms, the age
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.

iThe prices are for tho article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the age
varies considerably with different seasons of tho year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.

1 Quotations from this weekly are taken because no record of selling price per pound for the years 1907
to 1911 was preserved by any of the firms visited. The firms stated, however, that the prices published
in the Commercial Bulletin correctly represented the prices at which they sold sugar.

1 The prices are for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the age
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices arc computed for this article
in this report.

1 The prices are for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the* fact that, in some firms, the age
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.

1 The prices are for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the age
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article in
this report.

1 The prices are for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the ago
varies considerably wiih different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.

i The prices are for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
(“ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the ago
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.

1 The prices are for the article generally known to the trade as ‘ ’yearling ” The age of the sheep
( “ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the ago
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.

1 The prices arc for the article generally known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep
( “ yearling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the age
varies considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article
in this report.
