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

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.

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.

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:

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

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.

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.
4 The 1912 quotations for this article, for all firms except one, are for eggs known by a different trade designation from those quoted for 1907 to 1911, inclusive. The 1911 quota
tions for all firms except one are not, therefore, entered in this table for comparison.
