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 June, 1912, retail prices of coal, for household use, from 1907 to June, 1912, and net prices of gas, for household use, from 1907 to June, 1912. Part II presents general tables showing actual prices of the prin cipal articles of food, weights of the principal brands of wheat bread and actual prices of coal for the first six months of 1911 and the first six months of 1912. EXPLANATION OF TABLES. This report includes five general tables, as follows: Table I.— Retail prices of the principal articles of food on the 15th of each month, January to June, 1911, and January to June, 1912, by cities and by firms. Table II.— Bread weights: Scaling weight (weight of dough before baking), in ounces, of the principal brands of wheat bread on the 15th of each month, January to June, 1911, and January to June, 1912, by cities and by firms and brands. Table III.— Per cent of increase or decrease in retail prices of the principal articles of food: Price on the 15th of January, February, March, April, May, and June, 1912, compared with price on the corre sponding date in 1911, by cities and by articles. Table IV.— Relative retail prices of the principal articles of food, January, 1911, to June, 1912, by geographical divisions. Table V.— Retail prices of coal, for household use, on the 15th of each month, January and April, 1911, and January and April, 1912, by cities and by firms. Table /.— Retail prices of the principal articles of food on the 15th of each month, January to June, 1911, and January to June, 1912, by cities and by firms (pp. 10 to 1JJ)).—This table includes 39 of the 5 6 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR. most important industrial cities in the various sections of the United States. For each city prices are quoted for 18 principal articles of food. Prices are quoted for the 15th of each month, January to June, 1912, and for comparative purposes prices on the correspond ing dates in 1911 have been entered. When the 15th fell on Sunday or on a holiday the prices quoted were for either the 14th or the 16th of the month. Prices for storage eggs are quoted only for January and February of each year. The 39 cities are arranged in alphabetical order, and under the various cities the 18 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 period covered 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. Price quotations were secured from several firms in each city. In order to avoid identification, names of firms are not disclosed, but each firm has been given a number which enables one to follow the prices quoted throughout the period for which a firm has been fur nishing price quotations, either for the present report or for the pre ceding report in this series, covering the period 1907 to 1911. Three articles are included in this table which are not carried into the tables showing relative prices of food. These articles are chuck roast, leg of lamb (yearling), and storage eggs. Table II.— Bread weights: Scaling weight {weight of dough before baking) in ounces of the 'principal brands o f wheat bread on the 15th of each month, January to June, 1911, and January to June, 1912, by cities and by firms and brands {pp. 11+1 to 151).— This table shows the scaling weight in ounces of the principal brands of wheat bread in the cities covered by this report. The weights are quoted for the 15th of each month, January to June, 1912, and for comparative pur poses weights on the corresponding date in 1911, where obtainable, have been entered. When the 15th fell on Sunday or on a holiday the weights quoted were for either the 14th or the 16th of the month. Weight quotations were secured from several representative bakeries in each city. In order to avoid identification, names of firms and brands are not disclosed, but each firm has been given a number and each brand reported by a firm has been designated by a letter. Table III.— Per cent of increase or decrease in retail prices o f the prin cipal articles o f food: Price on the 15th of January, February, March, April, May, and June, 1912, compared with price on the corresponding date in 1911, by cities and by articles {pp. 152 to 171).— This table shows for each of the 39 cities the per cent of increase or decrease in price of each of 15 principal articles of food. The price on January RETAIL PRICES, 1890 TO J U N E , 1912---- GENERAL TABLES. 7 15, 1912, is compared with the price on January 15, 1911; the price on February 15, 1912, is compared with the price on February 15, 1911, etc. No relative prices are shown for three articles for which actual prices are quoted in Table I. These articles are chuck roast, for which quotations were not secured prior to January, 1912; leg of lamb, which is the article generally known to the trade as “ year ling,” but the age of the sheep varies, as reported by some firms, with different seasons of the year; and storage eggs, for which only a com paratively few quotations were secured prior to January, 1912. In order to arrive at the per cent of change in the price of an article, the percentage of change in price as quoted by each dealer was com puted, the percentages for the various firms were added and this sum divided by the number of firms reporting for the city. Table IV .— Relative retail prices of the 'principal articles o f food, January, 1911, to June, 1912, by geographical divisions (pp. 171 to 178).— This table shows for each of 15 principal articles of food the relative price for each month from January, 1911, to June, 1912. Relative prices are not shown for chuck roast, leg of lamb, and storage eggs for reasons stated in the explanation of Table III. Data corresponding to that shown in this table are presented for each year from 1890 to 1911 in General Table II of the preceding report published in this series (Bulletin No. 105). 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 the price of the same article at a date or 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 10year period is used as the base for the reason that an average price for a number of years more nearly represents average or normal con ditions 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. BULLETIN OF THE BUEEAU OF LABOK. 8 The many changes in firms furnishing prices and also the changes in grades and brands of articles make several steps necessary in order to arrive at the relative price of an article for a geographical division or for the United States. The methods followed during the years 1890 to 1911 are explained in the preceding report published in this series (Bulletin No. 105), and the reader is referred to that report. The method followed for January to June, 1912, is exactly the same as that for the years 1904 to 1911, excepting that monthly quotations instead of averages for the year are compared firm by firm. The 39 cities for which prices were secured have been grouped into five geographical divisions as follows: North Atlantic division: North Central division— Concluded. Boston, Mass. Detroit, M ich.

Table V.— Retail prices of coal, j or household use, on the 15th of each month, January and April, 1911, and January and April, 1912, by cities and by firms (pp. 179 to 205).—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 are shown, with the exception of Atlanta, Ga.; Charleston, S. C.; Portland, Oreg.; and Scranton, Pa. Prices are quoted for the 15th of January and April, 1912, and for compara tive purposes prices on the corresponding dates in 1911 have been entered. When the 15th fell on Sunday, or on a holiday, the prices quoted were for either the 14th or the 16th of the month. In some cities practically no bituminous coal is used for household purposes and in others practically no Pennsylvania anthracite coal is used. In RETAIL PRICES, 1890 TO J U N E , 1912---- GENERAL TABLES. 9 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 100-pound lots when sold in small quantities. In connection with prices the number of pounds per ton, half ton, and bushel is also shown. 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 indentification, firm names are not disclosed, but each firm has been given a number which enables one to follow the prices quoted throughout the period for which a firm has been furnishing price quotations, either for the present report or for the preceding report published in this series (Bulletin No. 105). The prices quoted are for coal delivered to consumers, but do not include charges for storing ton and half-ton lots in cellar or coal bin, where an extra handling is necessary, except as noted in connection with the price quotation.
