RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1914.1
FOOD.
In order that the course of prices of each of the various articles
through a series of years may be studied, relative prices have been
computed for each of 15 articles included in this investigation.
These relative prices for the several articles have also been combined,
so that the course of prices of food as a whole may be seen. The 15
articles represent approximately two-thirds of the expenditure for
food by the average workingman’s family, as shown in the Eighteenth
Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labor.
N q relative prices were computed for three articles for which
actual prices are quoted in General Table I of this report. These
articles are chuck roast, for which quotations were not secured
prior to January, 1912; leg of lamb, generally known to the trade
as “ yearling,” but which term, with some firms, includes sheep of
varying ages at different seasons of the year; and storage eggs, for
which quotations are secured for only four months in each year.
The following table shows the trend of prices of food during the
year 1914:

In the first column of this table are given the relative prices of
the 15 articles of food weighted according to the average consump
tion in workingmen’s families. These figures show that the highest
point during 1914 was reached in September, when the price of all
food was 7.1 per cent higher than the average price for 1913, and
the lowest point was reached in April, when the price was 3.5 per
cent lower than the average price in 1913.
The other columns of the table show the trend of prices of each
article. Except for lard and such articles as are affected by seasonal
changes the highest price during the year was either in August or
September.
The next table shows the trend of prices from 1907 to 1914 by
years. As in the preceding table, the different columns show the
relative prices of all food combined and of each article separately.
In all food combined and in most of the articles, the highest price
was reached in 1914, while the lowest price prevailed in 1907. This
however, is not true of all articles. Flour, for instance, was 5.3 per
cent higher in 1909 than in 1914. Sugar, which reached a remarkably
high point, 145.3 per cent, in August, 1914, wTas 8.6 per cent higher
for the year 1911 than for the year 1914. In fact, sugar was higher
in 1910, 1911, and 1912 than it was in 1914.

The next table shows, for each of the geographical divisions and for
the United States as a whole, the relative retail prices of food for each
year, 1907 to 1914, for every alternate month from January, 1907, to
November, 1910, and for each month from January, 1911, to Decem
ber, 1914; the per cent of increase and decrease in 1914 as compared
with each specified year and month; and the per cent of increase or
decrease in each year as compared with the year preceding and in
each month compared with the month preceding.
The relative prices shown in the table are the relative priccs of the
15 articles weighted according to the average consumption in work
ingmen's families (as shown by the Bureau’s investigation of 1901) in
the particular geographical division or in the United States as a whole,
and are computed with the average price for the year 1913 as the base.

The first section of the table deals with prices in the North Atlantic
division. For instance, the first column shows that the price of food
in 1907 was 83.3 per cent of the average price in 1913, that in 1908 it
was 85.3 per cent of the average price for 1913, etc; the second col
umn shows that the price in 1914 was 22.4 per cent higher than the
price in 1907, that the price in 1914 was 19.6 per cent higher than the
price in 1908, etc.; and the third column shows that the price in 1908
was 2.4 per cent higher than the price in 1907, that the price in 1909
was 3.5 per cent higher than the price in 1908, etc. Similar data are
shown in other sections of the table for other geographical divisions,
and in the last section data are given for the United States as a whole.
While the percentage change in prices can not be measured by sub
tracting relative prices without shifting the base, yet, as explained on
page 369 (Appendix A) of this report, it is easily possible to com
pare prices for any dates for which comparison is not already shown
by dividing the relative prices to be compared by the relative price of

the period or date which is desired as the base. For instance, if it is
desired to measure the difference in price in the North Atlantic divi
sion from 1907 to December, 1914, the relative prices for these two
dates, viz, 83.3 and 105.2, respectively, should be divided by the
relative price for 1907, giving 100 per cent for 1907, and 126.3 per cent
for December, 1914, on the 1907 base, showing 26.3 per cent increase
in price in December, 1914, over the average price for 1907.
Relative price tables as used in previous bulletins of the Bureau are
given in Appendix B of this report.
The relative retail prices in the United States, considered as a whole,
of each of the 15 principal articles of food for the 8 years, 1907 to
1914, inclusive, are presented in the table which follows. General
Table III of this report shows similar data for each of the five geo
graphical divisions. This table shows yearly prices for 1907 to 1914,
and prices each month from January, 1911, to December, 1914.

B U L L E T IN OF T H E BU REA U OF LABOR STATISTICS.
In the above table, as in the preceding table of relative prices, the
average price for 1913 is the base, or 100. The figures in the column
for round steak, for example, indicate that if the average price of
round steak for 1913 be considered 100, the price in 1912 was 89.2, or
10.8 per cent below the average for 1913; the price in 1910 was 77.8,
or 22.2 per cent below the average for 1913; the price in 1907 was
68, or 32 per cent below the average price for 1913, etc.
In connection with the price quotations furnished the Bureau of
Labor Statistics each month, the retail merchants are invited to
state “ the cause of any material advance or decline in the price of
any article since the middle of last month.,, Some of the statements
of the opinions of the retail merchants accompanying price reports
for January to December follow. The name of the city but not of
the dealer is shown.
January.
B a l t i m o r e . —Eggs declined last week, but on account of cold weather the market
advanced 4 cents a dozen during this week.
B a l t i m o r e . —Advance of 4 cents per dozen—cold wave. Receipts very light.
(Eggs.)
D a l l a s . —Outlook
for an early spring cause eggs and butter to be somewhat
cheaper.
P h i l a d e l p h i a . —I did not quote storage eggs, as time limit has expired on April
eggs, and June eggs are not satisfactory, so that the dealers have practically cut them
out.
P o r t l a n d .—Storage eggs very poor, practically all cleared up. Ranch eggs cheaper.
S t . L o u i s .— M ilk v e r y p le n tifu l, sales dragging on a c c o u n t of p rice .

B o s t o n . —Wholesale price of beef advanced 4 cent. No Argentine received this
week.
C h a r l e s t o n , S. C.—Meats are still scarce, but prices have advanced in proportion
to scarcity. Market normal.

D a l l a s . —Irish

have cut up some Argentine beef. It seems to give very good
results, but I can not see how we can use frozen beef in the summer.
I n d i a n a p o l i s . —Chickens have advanced 2 cents a pound, temporarily, owing to
extreme cold weather.
Los A n g e l e s . —On February 9 my retail price on eggs was 45 cents and on Feb
ruary 14, 25 cents, a drop of 20 cents per dozen in five days—an unusual occurrence.
Never experienced such a drop since I have been in business, 13 years.
Los A n g e l e s . —The seasonable rains and warm weather have made the difference
in price of butter and eggs since the report of January 15. The daily receipts being
much larger than a month ago.
N e w a r k . —Foreign butter coming in the market has slumped prices.
P h i l a d e l p h i a . —Open weather during January and February favorable for young
pullets and increase of supply is cause for drop in eggs. Quite a serious drop in price
of butter (5 cents) since last report. There seems to be an increased supply and an
indifferent demand.

Farmers having good crops.

March.
I n d i a n a p o l i s —The price of hens has gone up, due to the scarcity of same. It is
almost impossible to get them on account of the hatching season.
M i l w a u k e e . —The reason of decline in egg prices is oversupply.
P h i l a d e l p h i a .—Potatoes are somewhat higher at present on account of weather
conditions. Heavy snow, and farmers and shippers being unable to get their stock
to market. Eggs would also be possibly 6 cents per dozen or more lower if the roads
were passable.
P h i l a d e l p h i a . —The break in egg market is seasonable. The break is late this
year, owing to weather conditions. Look for lower prices if weather moderates.
P i t t s b u r g h . —Scarcity of stock and strict Government laws. (Hens.)
April.
B a l t i m o r e . —Jewish
holidays; and fowl scarce.
C h ic a g o . —Beef got extremely high in last two weeks, so we are compelled to
raise prices in the future.
D a l l a s . —We have raised the price of round steak 2 cents on account of the great
demand for round steaks. We have to sell the plain steaks a little cheaper.
L o s A n g e l e s .— B ee f has d ro p p ed J c e n t, th e first drop in tw o years b y th e w hole

seems to be well pleased.
P i t t s b u r g h . —Big demand for Holy Week and Jewish holidays this week. (liens.)
W a s h i n g t o n . —Native beef cattle supply very light and consequently costing
higher. South American beef on market but not desirable and generally unsatis

S. C . —Good cattle scarce and very high.
W. V a . —Packers are selling meat from 2 to 2| cents higher per 100
pounds.
N e w Y o r k . —You will notice an advance in price, due to the large shipments of
beef for the Navy. There is very little meat in the local markets and that’s the
reason of this advance, which think will not last very long.
P i t t s b u r g h .—Butter has been advancing. No reason for it, as there is an abun
dance of milk on market.
June.
C h a r l e s t o n , W . Y a .—Cause of higher prices on eggs is scarcity; very few coming
from country now.
C i n c in n a t i. —Sides of beef have advanced 2 to
cents. Quality fair.
D e t r o i t . —You will notice a change of prices on sirloin steak, as this time of year
steak is consumed so fast. Hind-quarter meat move3 faster than the front-quarter

B U L L E T IN OF T H E BU REAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
S t . L o u i s . —Crops in our milk territory ruined with drought, army worms, Hessian
fly, and chinch bugs.
W a s h i n g t o n . —Native beef would undoubtedly be from 2 to 3 cents higher if we
were not receiving large shipments of foreign beef.
July.
B o s t o n . —Everything in provisions, including vegetables, has been very high all
the season.
C h a r l e s t o n , W. Ya .—Owing to the increased cost of fresh meats, we had to increase
price of fresh meat cuts.
C h ic a g o . —Some cuts of meat are a little higher, and it is a very rare thing to obtain
owing to the scarcity of the choice steers, such as we use. Spring lambs are the same.
We are paying more than ever, with no drop in sight, as per advice from packers.
C i n c in n a t i.— Market on all fresh meats advanced. Wholesale price—sides. of
beef, 14J ; veal, 14J ; lambs, 1 8 ; loins of pork, 1 7 -1 7 J . Poultry firm; hens cost
2 1 - 2 2 ; spring chickens, 4 0 cents pound, with head on and entrails in.
D a l l a s . —We are paying 13J and 14 cents for beef, but have not changed our prices
as I think it will decline in a week or two. We do not like to change our prices so
much.
F a l l R i v e r . —Beef advanced 1 cent a pound wholesale.
Lamb, during last of
June, advanced to about the highest point known in these parts, 19 cents pound
wholesale. Since last report potatoes advanced to 65 cents per peck, for three weeks,
native potatoes bringing $ 2 .2 5 wholesale on July 10. Declined to $ 1 .2 0 July 15.
Sugar also advancing, 3 0 points since last report.

N e w a r k . —Expect

of all meats advanced 2 and 4 cents.
N e w O r l e a n s . —Local or Louisiana stock of potatoes is about exhausted and
northern goods not coming in yet. Hence higher prices.
P i t t s b u r g h . —Old hens are very scarce and high. I suppose on account of har
vesting and high price of beef.
P i t t s b u r g h . —All meats are now away up in “ G,” with indications to go higher.
The following increases have taken effect, viz: Beef, $ 1 .5 0 per hundredweight;
lambs, $1 per hundredweight; calves, $1 per hundredweight; hogs, $1 per hundred
weight. Scarcity of stock seems to be the cause of the increase; also the warm weather,
as it seems the people do not want anything but nice steaks and chops.
S t . L o u i s . —Weather conditions worst possible. No winter feed in sight. No
pasture all summer. (Milk.)
S a n F r a n c i s c o . —Milk very plentiful at present, but expect demand to soon
exceed the supply.
S a n F r a n c i s c o . —The price of beef wholesale has dropped about 1 cent a pound,
but the margin of profit has been so small that we have not been able to lower the
prices on above cuts, and have used the difference to offset the raise in wholesale
prices on veal, pork, mutton, and lamb.
S p r i n g f i e l d . —Milk scarce. Pasture all dry. All cows on dry feed. Looks like
a milk famine.
S p r i n g f i e l d . —The raise of 2 cents per pound on pork chops caused by a 3|-cent
advance on pork loins wholesale.
S p r i n g f i e l d . —The change in price of bacon is because the packers have raised
the price of bacon, and beef has gone up a little.

August.
B i r m in g h a m . —We believe the Government should thoroughly investigate the ad
vance in price of staples, especially sugar, meat, and flour. Wholesale price on sugar
here to-day 8 cents.
B o s t o n . —Sugar advanced from 4.45 August 4, 5.45 August 11, to 7.62 [cents per
pound] August 18. Beef, lamb, and pork also advanced.
BosTon.—Sugar has advanced. Vegetables are cheap. Flour has advanced. No
reason. There is wheat enough in this United States to supply everybody. What is
the reason of flour going higher? The same on sugar.
C h a r l e s t o n , S. C . —Still hold to old prices. If prices for old cattle keep going
up, our prices must follow. Sales poor on account of poor quality of cattle at high
prices.
C h a r l e s t o n , W. V a . —The cause of advance in prices is that the wholesale prices
are advanced on us.
C h a r l e s t o n , W. V a . —The dry season has caused an advance in price of butter;
scarcity or decrease in supply the cause of advance in eggs; excitement because of the
wars in foreign nations the cause of advance in sugar and flour.
C h ic a g o . —We are selling sugar less than jobbers are asking, as we believe this is only
a scare market and have enough to ford us over.
C h ic a g o . —There is a very large shortage in fresh meats at the stockyards, and it is
hard to get what you want; never saw anything like it right now, and can not under
stand it, as no exporting is being done, and we all looked for a decline instead of a
raise, and it is hurting business right now.
C l e v e l a n d . —Sugar cost me at this date $8 per hundredweight by the barrel.
D a l l a s . —Prices are sure soaring in Dallas on everything in the grocery line and
meat. They claim the war is doing it.
D a l l a s . —We are paying 31 cents a pound for pork loins.
D e n v e r . —Sugar advanced $3 in 10 days, wholesale price.
D e n v e r . —Sugar, war prices, but sold September, 1911, at $7.50; August, 1912, at
$6.50. Meats show very little raise by the retailer. Canned goods have not been
raised to the consumer so far by us.
J a c k s o n v i l l e . —Groceries have advanced, sugar, flour, hams, and bacon, but I have
a large stock and have not raised my prices, but most grocers have.
J a c k s o n v i l l e . —Small strips of breakfast bacon cost us now 23 cents in Baltimore.
(Date of last invoice, Aug. 14,1914.)
J a c k s o n v i l l e . —From present indications we will be compelled to raise our prices,
as wholesale prices are rapidly advancing.
L i t t l e R o c k . —Rough meats, such as chucks and plate, are 2 to 2J cents per pound
higher at wholesale. Price pork loins are: Fresh pork loins, wholesale price, 23 cents
per pound; frozen pork loins are 20 and 21 cents. We are retailing pork chops for 30
cents per pound and pork roast at 25 cents. Pork shoulders are retailing at 20 cents.
M e m p h is . —All pork products have advanced in the last four weeks, so that I was
compelled to advance my prices on same.
M e m p h is . —Seems to us that the packers have taken undue advantage of the war
scare. Frozen pork loins that were selling in Memphis last week for 16 cents sold
yesterday for 22 cents. The whole line has taken a boost in about the same order.
Sugar was wholesaling last Friday at $4.75; is worth $8 to-day.
M i l w a u k e e .— Note price on sugar. We are selling it at what the jobber is asking
for it at wholesale. Outlook is for 10-cent sugar.
M i n n e a p o l i s . —Suppose the speculation in wheat the cause of flour going up, and
the decline in the amount of eggs coming in to the market the cause of eggs going
up. The scarcity of butter the same. Sugar speculation.

BULLETIN OF TH E BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
Newark.—Steers cost 16 cents a pound, pork loins 23 cents a pound, hams 20J cents
a pound, and lambs 19 cents a pound.
N e w O r l e a n s .—Beef, veal, and pork very scarce on this market. Some packing
companies receiving local meat, which is very poor grade. Not much fed stock
received.
N e w O r l e a n s . —Pork loins have advanced to 22 cents on frozen stock and 24 cents
on fresh loins. Can not understand the reason for this advance.
N e w Y o r k . —Sugar refiners ask 7\ cents for loose granulated, £ cent more for 3J
packets. We look for higher prices. Flour advancing gradually.
N e w Y o r k . —Good beef is very hard to get at present, very high and scarce. City
cut pork loins were up to 24 cents per pound for several days last week. Western
are somewhat cheaper.
P h i l a d e l p h i a . —Sugar is worth $7.50 wholesale to-day, which should make our sell
ing price at least 8 cents. Flour is worth to-day 95 cents. We are selling flour and
sugar at less than what we would have to pay for them to-day.
P r o v i d e n c e . —The wholesale rate on meat in this market has been going higher for
the last three months, and we were forced to raise our prices.
S t . L o u i s . —Sugar we are selling a little below cost to-day, being Saturday. Monday
we must sell 12 pounds for $1. Cost of sugar here is 8J. Navy beans have gone up
from $2.35 to $3.50 per bushel. Gold Medal flour to-day is $6.25 per barrel wholesale.
S a l t L a k e C i t y . —Sugar has gone up to $7.75 and $7.95 per hundredweight to us.
Within five days was $5.05 and $5.25.
S a l t L a k e C i t y . —You will notice an advance on all pork, both fresh and cured.
Butter, eggs, and flour all on the up grade. The war scare has raised the prices of nearly
all the necessities.
S a n F r a n c i s c o . —Sugar has made rapid advances in the past two weeks, from $4.50
to $7.75.
S c r a n t o n . —During the past 10 days prices on flour, butter, sugar, and potted meats
have advanced beyond all reason. Sugar almost double. Local produce (vegetables
and fruits) are good and cheap.
S p r i n g f i e l d . —The only cause I can see for raise on pork is the packers. They
went from 16J to 24 cents in one day and a half in face of decline in live hogs.
S p r i n g f i e l d . —The change in pork chops loin is because the packers have raised
from 20 to 25 cents per pound and lambs are 14 and 15 cents per pound.
S p r i n g f i e l d . —Fresh pork loins advanced from 17 cents per pound to 26 cents whole
sale inside of four days. Bacon and all other meats went up in proportion. I am
getting 30 cents for fresh chops and 25 cents for frozen.
September.

Fresh vegetables still extremely plentiful, cheapness of apples affecting other

Trade is encouraging, buying the less expensive cuts of meats more and more.

for it, and we can’t see the reason for it in the face of the Government report on the
wheat crop.

which have been fed a little corn are bringing 12J to 13|- cents per pound.

due to the very high wholesale prices. (Meat.) Pork was 25 cents per pound whole

P r o v i d e n c e . —Instead of strictly corn-fed beef I am using partly grass-fed beef.
This accounts for reduction in price from last month.
S t . L o u i s . —We have advanced the price on milk on account of the extreme hot and
dry summer in our dairying department and the shortage in crops.

other meats since the war broke out.

S p r i n g f i e l d . —The prices on beef have dropped a little on account of the cattle
that we are now getting being grass fed. Pork is still too high, according to what the
packers pay for live hogs. They are charging 18 cents wholesale for pork loins.

C h ic a g o . —One of the large flour mills predicts that flour will go up soon on account
of large export orders that are coming in, and the same applies to eggs, I am told. On
sugar we can buy much cheaper from the smaller jobber than from the larger ones.
The larger jobber does not care about it either. Say they can not meet their prices
on the sugar. This is unusual, especially as sugar has been for some time on the de
cline.
L i t t l e R o c k . —Please note prices of hogs, 7 and 8 cents; pork loins, 1 8 cents; bacon,
28 cents; ham, 2 0 cents by the 100 pounds. These prices are a hold-up on the public
and should be investigated as the loss on hogs is about 1 cent net.
Los A n g e l e s . —The price of local ranch eggs, extra fancy, has advanced quite
sharply the past week owing to the supply not being nearly equal to the demand.
It is probably only for a short time at that high rate. Sugar has declined materially
the past week.
L o u i s v i l l e . —Business is very quiet with indications that prices will be lower—
the stagnation prevails in all lines of trade.
N e w Y o r k . —You will notice that prices are not higher than they were a month
ago. There is lots of goods on hand, and quite a lot coming from Argentina. You will
see a very low market in beef.
P h i l a d e l p h i a . —The supply of fresh eggs is very short owing to hens moulting, so
that advance is seasonable. I find considerable complaint among shippers of high
price of feed, claiming even at the prices that there is nothing in keeping hens, and
unless there would be a change in price soon that it would not pay to continue. If
that would become general there would be quite a shortage on near-by or local supplies.
Just a straw to show which way the wind is blowing.

in the price of beef was the cause of the drop of rib roast.

BREAD WEIGHTS.
This report shows, together with prices, the scaling weight (weight
of dough before baking), in ounces, of the principal brands of baker’s
wheat bread as reported by representative bakeries in each of the
cities on the 15th of each month, January to December, 1914, and for
comparative purposes for the corresponding dates of 1913, where
available. Comparisons of weights on December 15, 1914, and on
December 15, 1913, are available for 228 brands, and of that number
the weight of 6 brands was heavier on December 15,1914, than on the
corresponding date in 1913, the weight of 89 brands was unchanged,
and the weight of 133 brands was lighter.
The weights of wheat bread shown in General Table II of this report
were reported from 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.

COAL*
Retail prices of coal for household use have been secured by the
Bureau quarterly, on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15,
but beginning with 1914 prices were secured semiannually on January
15 and July 15. Data showing retail prices of coal for the years prior
to 1914 will include quotations for January 15 and July 15 only.
The table which follows gives, for each of the geographical divi
sions, the per cent of increase or decrease in the prices of coal from
January 15, 1913, to January 15, 1914, and from July 15, 1913, to
July 15, 1914. Three kinds of coal are included— Pennsylvania an
thracite white ash, stove size; Pennsylvania anthracite white ash,
chestnut size; and bituminous. The comparisons are of coal for
household use and sold in ton lots. General Table IV shows actual
prices of the three classes of coal above namsd in ton lots and in
half-ton lots.

SCOPE OF STUDY AND METHOD OF OBTAINING PRICES.
This report presents for each of 44 of the most important indus
trial cities in the various sections of the United States the retail
prices of the principal articles of food, the weight and price of the
principal brands of wheat bread, the retail price of anthracite and
bituminous coal, and the net price of gas for household use. The
retail prices of food in Charleston, W . Va., and Springfield, 111., as
shown in this report, begin with May 15, 1914, the prices in Schenec
tady, N. Y., begin with June 15, 1914, and the prices for El Paso,
Tex., begin with November 15, 1914. No prices of coal were secured
for Charleston, W. Va., for the reason that for family consumption
natural gas is used to the exclusion of coal.
Data are furnished to the Bureau by approximately 725 retail
stores, 150 bakeries, 215 retail coal dealers, and 65 gas companies.
Excellent results have followed the use of the form books for report
ing prices. Ninety-three out of a possible 100 per cent of reports
for January to December, 1914, from retail merchants, dairymen, and
bakers were received. A large number of firms have not required
even a letter of reminder during the six months. A number of
merchants have also stated that the stub record of prices was of
considerable value to them, as it is an easy method of preserving a
record of prices each month from year to year. In several cities
practically every report requested from merchants, dairymen, and
bakers has been received each month; this is notably true for Boston,
Denver, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Louisville, New Haven, New
York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Scranton, and Washington. Almost
every coal firm and gas company from whom price statements were
requested has also responded to the request.
The 44 cities included in this report are important industrial cities,
representing 33 States. In a general way the city selected in each
section of the country was the city having the largest population in
that section; but, in addition, 6 smaller cities were included as being
industrially important in those sections. The 6 cities are Charleston,
W. Va., El Paso, Tex., Fall River, Mass., Schenectady, N. Y ., Scranton,
Pa., and Springfield, 111. Within the 44 cities live one-fifth of the
total number of people, two-fifths of the urban population, and
approximately one-third of the total number engaged in gainful
occupations (not including those in agricultural pursuits) in conti
nental United States.

FOOD.
The present report gives retail prices of tho principal articles of
food in 44 industrial cities in the United States for January to
December, 1914, and for comparative purposes the prices on the cor
responding dates of 1913. Prices are shown for two additional cities
for May to December, ono additional city for Juno to December, and
one additional city for November and December, 1914. Summaries
aro also presented covering the eight years from 1907 to December,
1914, inclusive.1
Tho retail dealers who kindly furnished the information for this
report were selected through personal visits of agents of the Bureau
and are those selling largely to the families of American, English,
Irish, Gorman, and Scandinavian wage earners. Practically all of the
i Previous investigations of retail prices have been made and published b y the Bureau o f Labor Statistics,
as follows: Eighteenth Annual R eport, covering 1890 to 1903; Bulletin No. 59 (July, 1905), covering 1904;
Bulletin No. 65 (July, 1906), covering 1905; Bulletin No. 71 (July, 1907), covering 1906; Bulletin N o. 77 (July,
1908), covering 1907; Bulletin No. 105 (August, 1912), covering 1907 to 1911; Bulletin N o. 106 (August,
1912), covering January to June, 1912; Bulletin No. 108 (October, 1912), covering July and August, 1912;
Bulletin No. 110 (December, 1912), covering September and October, 1912; Bulletin N o. 113 (March, 1913),
covering Novem ber and December, 1912; Bulletin No. 115 (A pril, 1913), covering January and February,

1914), covering November and December, 1913.
RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1914.
29
stores included are neighborhood stores, as such stores more nearly
represent the trade of workingmen's families. A comparatively few
“ down-town” stores are included. “ Chain stores77 (a number of
stores in one city owned or controlled by one firm) are not included,
except in a very few cities where such stores are so numerous that
they form a very important factor in the city's trade. So-callcd
“ cut-rate77 stores are not included. The stores selected, with a very
few exceptions, deliver all purchases when requested.
After the agent of the Bureau had selected a store, arrangements
were made for the retail merchant to send to the Bureau a statement
of prices of the various commodities on the 15th of each month
thereafter. Return visits to the various firms are made by agents
of the Bureau whenever it is necessary to make personal inquiries
concerning the monthly price quotations.
The grade of articles quoted is that sold in each city in stores
patronized largely by the families of American, English, Irish,
German, and Scandinavian wage earners.
It is manifestly unfair to attempt any comparisons of prices
between cities widely separated or between localities where qualities,
market conditions, and freight rates vary greatly. For almost every
article it is absolutely impossible to quote prices on an identical
grade throughout the 44 cities, as the grade varies not only from city
to city but also from firm to firm within the same city, and even
varies to some extent from month to month within the same store.
Stores which vary in a marked degree the grade of articles handled
from day to day or from month to month have not been included, but
in every store there is necessarily some variation in grade. This
variation is usually more marked in fresh meats and eggs than in
other articles.
Brief descriptions of the articles and the necessary explanations
concerning each article are here presented.
Fresh beef.
In the present report prices are quoted for four cuts of beef, as
follows: Sirloin steak, round steak, rib roast, and chuck roast.
Methods of cutting beef vary considerably in different cities and to
some extent this affects retail prices.
The majority of the firms that furnished quotations for cuts of meat
quoted in this report buy “ straight cattle77 or carcass beef; that is,
whole carcass separated into sides (halves) as distinguished from
special cuts, such as loins, ribs, or rounds. A side or half consists of a
hind quarter and a forequarter. In separating a side or half into
quarters no ribs are cut to the hind quarter in some cities, while in
other cities the side is cut leaving 1, 2, 3, or 4 ribs on the hind quarter.
SO
BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
These ribs are sold either as roast or porterhouse steak. I f sold as
steak, the rib is usually removed before weighing.
The hind quarter is separated into “ loin” and “ round” either by
cutting from the top of the hip near the end of the backbone through
the rump to the hip joint and then through to the front of the leg
above the stifle joint or by cutting from the leg at the stifle joint
along the leg bone to the hip joint and then through the rump to the
top of the hip at or near the tail bone. The second method gives a
larger loin and a smaller round than does the first method.
The loin of beef is cut into steaks. The cuts commonly known as
“ sirloin” steak for which prices are quoted in most cities are cut
parallel to the full cut surface of the thick or butt end of the loin,
and include all cuts of the loin with any part of the hip bone in them.
The other cuts of the loin, or those from the small or thin end, are
commonly known as “ porterhouse” steak in most cities.
Emphasis should be placed upon the fact that, according to the
method of cutting followed in Boston, Mass., Manchester, N. H.,
Philadelphia, Pa., and Providence, R. I., no cut corresponds to the
cut known as sirloin in other cities. In these four cities the cut
known as sirloin corresponds to the cut described above as porter
house, and in this report the quotations of prices for the cities just
named are for the cut known locally as sirloin. The cut commonly
known as sirloin is sold in Fall River, Mass., under the name of
“ rump” steak, and in this report the prices quoted for that city are
for the article known locally as “ rump” steak.
The round of beef is separated at the hip joint into the rump and
the round. The rump has part of the hip bone in it and is called
rump, bouillon, or butchers’ roast.
The round has the leg bone in it. The great majority of the prices
quoted for round steak are for “ whole” round; that is, for a cut that
includes the top round, bottom round, and bone. Quotations from
a few firms are for “ top round, bone out,” or “ top round, bone in.”
Top round is cut from the inside of the leg or round and extends about
half through the round to the leg bone, and to the tissue or membrane
which marks the natural division between the inside and outside of
the leg. The inside is tender while the outside is muscular and more
or less tough. Some firms cut the top round to include the leg bone
and a small part of the bottom round. Firms that sell top round
usually sell the bottom or outside for pot roast or Hamburg steak.
In many cities no bone or fat is trimmed from either sirloin or round
steak before weighing, while in others some bone and fat or all bone
and fat are cut off before steaks are weighed.
Forequarters include ribs, chucks, plates, and shanks. The shank
is removed by cutting through the shoulder joint or by sawing through
the leg bone below the shoulder joint. The plate is separated from
RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1914.
31
the ribs and chuck by cutting through the ribs on a line beginning
about the middle of the rib next to the hind quarter and running
parallel to the backbone to the point where the shank is removed.
If the line or cut be nearer the backbone, the ribs are short, more
desirable, and higher priced.
“ R ibs” are usually separated from chucks by cutting across the
backbone between the fifth and sixth ribs, counting from the front
backward. “ R ibs” usually include about eight ribs, two of which
have part of the shoulder blade in them.
The prices quoted for rib roast are for cuts of ribs that do not have
any part of the shoulder blade in them. Some firms in some cities
cut rib roast short and trim off part of the chine bone before weighing.
Chucks extend from the point where ribs and chucks are separated
to the neck. Chuck roast as quoted in this report includes five ribs
and part of the shoulder blade. The prices quoted are for the best
cut, which is next to the butt end of the ribs. No relative prices
have been computed for chuck roast.
Plates include the forequarter flank or navel and the brisket. The
flank or the navel extends from about the eighth rib to the hindquarter flank, and the brisket extends from about the eighth to the
first rib and includes all the breastbone.
All quotations for fresh beef in this report are on the basis of 1
pound, but of course in many, if not most, cases the usual sale is in
quantities of more than 1 pound.
As stated elsewhere, the grade of beef quoted is not identical
throughout the 44 cities, nor is the grade identical in a store through
out the period for which prices are quoted, but the article quoted is
the best grade of meat on sale at the date of each quotation in the
store selected, and the stores selected were those patronized largely
by the families of American, English, Irish, German, and Scandi
navian wage earners.
Pork chops.
The quotations are for loin chops.
Prices are quoted on the pound basis, but many of the sales are for
quantities larger than 1 pound.
Bacon.
Prices are reported by each dealer on the best grade of smoked
bacon that he sells in any considerable quantity to families of wage
earners.
No fancy bacon ready sliced in glass jars or other small packages
is quoted.
The prices quoted are in most cases for bacon sliced when sold, but
in a number of cities some of the dealers sell relatively little sliced
32
BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
bacon and therefore have quoted bacon by the piece and have reported
the usual range of weight of such pieces.
Prices are quoted on the pound basis, but many sales are of quanti
ties larger than a pound.
Ham.
Prices are reported by each dealer on the best grade of smoked
ham that he sells in any considerable quantity to families of wage
earners.
The prices quoted are in most cases for ham sliced when sold, but
in a number of cities some of the dealers sell relatively little sliced
ham and therefore have quoted whole hams and have in most cases
reported the usual range of weight of such hams.
Some of the firms that sell sliced ham cut only four or five slices
from the middle of the ham and sell the ends without slicing. On
the other hand, some dealers slice practically all the ham and in such
cases the prices quoted are for the best slices from the middle of the
ham.
Prices are quoted on the pound basis, but in many, if not most,
cases the usual quantity sold is greater than 1 pound.
Lard.
All quotations are for “ pure” lard with the exception of a few for
“ pure leaf.” No “ compound” lard is quoted. The great majority
of quotations are for “ tub” lard (lard sold in bulk). Some quota
tions, however, are for lard in pails. Tub lard is quoted by the
pound. In many cases tub lard is. customarily sold in quantities of
2 or more pounds, and in all such cases the price quoted in this report
is reduced to the pound basis. Where lard is sold by the pail, the
price is quoted per pail, the net weight being given in each case.
Leg of lamb, yearling.
The prices quoted in this report 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 the report
of the Bureau.
Hens.
Prices are quoted for “ hens” at least a year old, such as are usually
sold for roasting or stewing, and in some cities for stewing only.
In some localities the term used for these hens is either “ fowls,”
“ stewing,” or “ fricassee” chickens.
The quotations are in most cases for “ dressed” hens, although a
few dealers reported prices for “ live” hens. Dressed hens are
described as “ drawn” or “ not drawn.” In a few cities hens are
sold “ full dressed” ; that is, drawn and with head and feet off.
Throughout all cities reporting the basis of sale is 1 pound.
RETAIL PRICES, 1C07 TO DECEM BER, 1014.
33
Flour, wheat.
Flour is quoted by the eighth-barrel bag for about 30 of the cities,
by the eighth-barrel bag with a few firms quoting fourth-barrel bags
in a few cities, by the fourth-barrel bag with an occasional firm
quoting half-barrel bags for some of the Pacific coast cities, by the
20-pound bag by two firms in Indianapolis, and by the sixteenthbarrel bag from an occasional firm in a few of the cities. The weight
of the various size bags varies slightly in different localities; the half
barrel bag weighs from 96 to 98 pounds, the fourth-barrel bag from
48 to 49 pounds, and the eighth-barrel bag from 23 to 24J pounds.
These weights are in some instances net and in others gross. Great
quantities of flour are sold in sixteenth and in thirty-second barrel
bags, particularly in the eastern cities, but the eighth-barrel bag is a
very popular size in most of the cities for which prices were secured,
and for ready comparison that size has been quoted where possible.
In a few of the cities the price of flour is “ protected” ; that is, the
flour manufacturer fixes a minimum selling price for the retailer.
The quotations from each firm are for a definite brand, or brands
of equivalent grade, throughout the period for which prices are
quoted, except as indicated. The name of the brand quoted has
been entered in connection with the price. Where a merchant has
quoted a brand manufactured especially for his trade or which car
ries his firm name the flour has been entered as “ special brand/7 in
order not to disclose the identity of the firm furnishing information
to the Bureau.
Corn meal.
The corn meal for which prices are given is bulk or bag meal, and
not fancy meal in cartons or packages except in a few cities where
the bulk of sales are of package meal. The color of the meal han
dled varies, generally speaking, according to the locality, yellow
being sold as a rule in cities of the North, white in southern cities,
and both white and yellow in Denver, Salt Lake City, and the cities
on the Pacific coast.
The price of corn meal is quoted in this report on a 1-pound basis.
These figures have been derived from the price charged b y the
dealer for the quantity of corn meal most in demand among his cus
tomers and represent a great variety of units of sale. In New Eng
land and other northern cities the amounts sold are usually small,
being as a rule from 2 to 5 pounds, the 5 cents’ worth, or the 10
cents7 worth. In most southern cities sales of 10 pounds or more
predominate, while in the cities of the far West reports on any other
unit than 10 pounds are exceptional.
58294°—Bull. 156—15------3
84
BULLETIN OF THE B tB E A U OF LABOR STATISTICS.
E g g s.
Prices of eggs are reported from grocery stores with the exception
of a few instances in which quotations have been secured from dairy
firms. The prices quoted are for “ strictly fresh” eggs of the highest
grade handled by the firm on the date of each quotation, excluding
fancy eggs or eggs selected for size and color. Many of the firms
represented in this study carry both fresh and storage eggs whenever
both are on the market, and some firms at certain seasons do not
carry any “ strictly fresh" eggs. The trade terms used to describe
the eggs for which quotations are given vary with the locality. On
the Atlantic coast, for example, common descriptive terms are
“ near-by,” “ State,” “ eastern,” and “ western” ; in the Middle West,
“ near-by” and “ country” ; in certain southern cities, “ near-by”
and “ Tennessee” ; and on the Pacific coast, “ ranch” and “ eastern,
fresh.”
Some quotations for “ storage” eggs were secured for the period
1907 to 1911, but the number was insufficient for purposes of publi
cation. Prices were quoted in Bulletin No. 106, Part II, for storage
eggs for the months of January and February, 1912, and in the suc
ceeding bulletins covering the months of January and February and
November and December of each year, prices for storage eggs are
quoted. Some few firms quoted storage eggs for the spring, summer,
and fall months, but those quotations were not entered in the reports,
as it appeared that in some cases, at least, the article quoted as “ stor
age” during the spring months was eggs “ iced in transit” and not
eggs that had been in storage. No relative prices have been com
puted for storage eggs.
All prices in the table are quoted on the dozen basis, and in most
cities included in this study the dozen is the only unit of sale of impor
tance. In New York City, however, purchases by the 25 cents’ worth
are common, and in the Pacific coast cities two dozen becomes at
times the prevailing unit of sale, owing to the fact that it is a common
practice to make a special rate on this quantity (as, for example, 65
cents per two dozen when the price is 35 cents per dozen). In such
ceases the price as quoted on the most usual unit of sale has been re
duced to the rate per dozen.
Butter.
The quotations for butter represent the grade of butter known on
the market as “ creamery extra.” Dairy butter and brands desig
nated as specials or fancy have not been included.
Creamery extras are sold in two ways: In bulk, otherwise known
as “ tu b” butter, or in bricks, termed “ print” butter. When print
butter is put up in cartons it is often termed “ package” butter.
RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1914.
35
The demands for print or tub butter seem to rest on local prefer
ences. In some cities the price is the same for both; in others print
butter is quoted at 1 or 2 cents higher than tub.
All prices in the table are quoted on the pound basis.
In some of the Pacific coast cities butter is usually sold in 2-pound
prints, locally known as “ squares,” but all such quotations have been
reduced to the 1-pound basis.
Potatoes.
All quotations for potatoes are for the article known in many
localities as “ Irish” potatoes, which signifies the “ white” potato in
contradistinction to the “ sweet.” The extensive variety of Irish
potatoes on the market and the fact that retailers do not confine
their buying to one variety have made it impracticable to quote vari
eties or grades.
New potatoes have been quoted only when they form the bulk
of the sales. This is usually when new potatoes grown in or near
the locality are plentiful, as the price of new potatoes shipped from
a distance is generally prohibitive to the mass of trade in the stores
reporting.
The peck, or a fractional part of a peck, is the unit of sale for
practically all eastern cities except New York. In the West potatoes
are sold by weight, using the 100-pound lot as a basis. In the west
ern cities reporting there is a demand during the summer for smaller
quantities than the 100-pound lot, which results in sales of 25 cents’ ,
50 cents’ , and 1 dollar’s worth.
In New York the unit of sale for Irish potatoes varies materially
from store to store, and also in some cases from month to month
within the same store. For example, in New York the amount sold
for a quart varies from 2\ to 4 pounds, and within the same store
the number of pounds of new potatoes sold for a quart is generally
less than the number of pounds of old potatoes sold for a quart.
Prices for New York, except when quoted by the peck, are reduced
to a pound basis, but the usual unit of sale is also shown for each
store.
Sugar,
All quotations are for granulated sugar and are on a pound basis.
These prices per pound in most cases have been derived from prices
as reported by the dealers on the quantities most in demand. Such
quantities vary in the cities represented. The common units of
sale in most cities are 25-cent, 50-cent, and $1 lots. In certain
cities, notably New York and Philadelphia, smaller quantities are
reported as the usual units of sale.

M ilk .
All quotations are by tlie quart and are for milk regularly deliv
ered to customers.
In connection with each quotation is a statement as to whether
the milk is sold bottled or dipped from the can as sold, and also a
statement indicating whether the milk is sold “ raw” or “ pasteur
ized.”
All quotations are from dairies, either the original producer or a
milk dealer, and none are from grocers.
The method of sale is in some cases by the quart, and a bill is
rendered monthly for the quantity actually served. In other cases a
certain number of tickets, each exchangeable for 1 quart of milk, is
sold for $1, usually with a slight gain to the consumer. Thus, if
milk is 9 cents per quart, 12 tickets may be sold for $1. Some of
the dairies in the Pacific coast cities charge a definite sum monthly
for a quart of milk each day, the price being the same for each
calendar month.
BREAD WEIGHTS.
The weights of wheat bread, tabulated separately by cities, firms,
and brands, are the weights at which the respective breads were
scaled on the loth of each month from January to December, 1914,
and, where available, corresponding information for the same months
of 1913 is shown for comparison. This scaling weight is the weight
of the loaf before baking. While it would be highly desirable to pre
sent the weight of the loaf as actually purchased by the consumer,
the complications involved in the relation of the scaled weight to the
weight of the bread when it passes over the retailer’s counter were
found to be such that it was impossible to do so. The loss of
weight in baking varies with the formula, with the style of loaf,
and with the temperature of the oven. A further element of un
certainty affecting weights enters before the consumer actually gets
the loaf. The weight, of course, varies with the time intervening
between the removal of the loaf from the oven and its final dis
tribution to the consumer, the loss by evaporation also being partly
determined by the conditions under which the bread is kept and by
the state of the atmosphere.
The customary loss in baking is variously estimated by bakers,
but it may be said that a loaf scaled at 18 ounces will when sold, if
handled under ordinary conditions, weigh not far from 16 ounces,
and a loaf scaled at 16 ounces will, when baked and cooled, weigh
about 14J ounces. As noted above, however, the range of loss
varies widely.
From General Table II of this report for each city all fancy, special,
graham, rye, and restaurant breads are excluded. All wrapped and
so-called “ French” breads are so designated.
BE TAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1914.
37
In the use of these data it must be borne clearly in mind that
weight is only one factor entering into the bread question as an
element in the study of prices. The quality of materials used varies
widely and is likely to be reflected in the weight at which the loaf is
scaled.
It is hoped that at some future time it may be possible to present
baked weights as well as scaled weights; but, as already explained,
this was impracticable in the present report.
The most representative bakeries in every city included in this
report have promptly furnished to the Bureau information concern
ing bread weights on the 15th of each month.
COAL.
This report shows the increase in retail prices of coal during the
period since 1907 and gives actual prices of coal on January 15 and
on July 15, 1914. For comparative purposes prices are also entered
for the corresponding dates in 1913. The prices shown are those
quoted for retail trade for household use. The table of prices
shows Pennsylvania anthracite white-ash coal both in stove size
and in chestnut size; bituminous coal of several kinds; and in a few
cities other varieties, such as Colorado anthracite. Prices are quoted
for sales “ in ton lots,” and “ in half-ton lots.” The prices were
quoted by coal dealers, who supplied the information at the request
of the Bureau. In some cities practically all sales for household use
were of anthracite coal, and in other cities of bituminous coal. Bi
tuminous coal is reported only for cities in which there is considerable
demand for bituminous for household use. The coal dealers in
each city were asked to quote prices on the kind of bituminous
coal usually sold for household use. The prices quoted are for
coal delivered to consumers, but do not include charges for storing
the coal in cellar or coal bin where an extra handling was necessary,
except as noted in connection with the price quotation.1
GAS.
This report gives prices of gas for household use on April 15 and
October 15, 1914, and for purposes of comparison the prices on Octo
ber 15, 1913, the date of the last previous report, have been entered.
The prices quoted are the net rates charged for gas for household use
as distinguished from use by manufacturing plants and industrial
establishments. Where a sliding scale of prices, based on amount
consumed, was reported, the price for the smallest quantity has been
quoted, except in Salt Lake City, where the quotation has been noted,
as the smallest quantity is less than the amount usually consumed for

o f coal for household use, are Bulletins Nos. 105, 106, 108, 110, 113, 115, 125, 132, 136,138, and 140.

domestic purposes. Tlie prices are the same for gas for illuminating,
cooking, and heating purposes, except as noted in the table. Prices
are in most cases for manufactured gas, but natural gas has also been
quoted where that is in general use. The data were furnished by
the gas companies, who kindly responded to the Bureau’s request for
this information.1
EXPLANATION OF TABLES.
This report includes four general tables, as follows:
Table I.— Retail prices of the principal articles of food on the 15th
of each month, January to December, 1913, and January to Decem
ber, 1914, by cities and hy firms. This table is in two sections, A
and B.
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 December, 1913, and January to Decem
ber, 1914, by cities and by firms and brands. This table is in two
sections, A and B.
Table III.— Relative retail prices of the principal articles of food,
1907 to December, 1914, by geographical divisions.
Table IV.— Retail prices of coal, for household use, on January
15 and July 15, 1913, and January 15 and July 15, 1914, by cities
and by firms.
Table I.— Retail prices of the principal articles o f food on the 15th
o f each month, January to December, 1918, and January to December,
1914, by cities and by firms {pp. 1+1 to 293).— This table includes 44 of
the most important industrial cities in the various sections of the
United States. For each city prices are quoted for 18 principal arti
cles of food. Prices are quoted for the 15th of each month, January
to December, 1914, and for comparative purposes prices on the cor
responding date in 1913 have been entered. When the 15th fell on
Sunday or on a holiday, the prices quoted were for the 16th of the
month.
For convenience this table is divided into two sections: A shows
prices for the period from January to August of 1913 and 1914; B
shows prices for the period from September to December of 1913
and 1914.
The 44 cities are arranged in alphabetical order, and under the
various cities the 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
i Previous reports, published b y the Bureau of Labor Statistics, containing data relative to prices o f
gas for household use, are Bulletins Nos. 105, 106, 10S, 110, 113, 115, 125, 132,136, 138, and 140.

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- shown, but
each firm has been given a number, wThich 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
preceding reports, covering the period from 1907 to December, 1913.
Three articles are included in this table which are not carried into
the tables showing relative prices of food; these articles are chuck
roast, storage eggs, and leg of lamb (yearling).
Table II.— Bread weights: Scaling weight (weight o f dough before
baking), in ounces, o f the 'principal brands o f wheat bread on the loth
o f each month, January to December, 1913, and January to December,
1914, by cities and by firms and brands (pp. 294 to 320).— 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 December, 1914, and for com
parative purposes weights on the corresponding dates in 1913 have
been entered wThere available. When the 15th fell on Sunday or on
a holiday, the weights quoted were for the 16th of the month.
For convenience this table is divided into two sections: A shows
scaling weights for the period from January to August of 1913 and
1914; B shows scaling weights for the period from September to
December of 1913 and 1914.
Weight quotations were secured from several representative bak
eries in each city. In order to avoid identification, names of firms
and brands are not shown, but each firm has been given a number
and each brand reported by a firm has been designated by a letter.
Table III.— Relative retail prices o f the principal articles o f food, 1907
to December, 1914j by geographical divisions (pp. 321 to 335).— This
table shows for each of 15 principal articles of food the relative price
for each year from 1907 to 1914, inclusive, and for each month from
January, 1911, to December, 1914. Relative prices are not shown
for chuck roast, leg of lamb, and storage eggs for reasons stated on
page 5.
As explained on a previous page, a relative price 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 1913.
The value of the relative price is that it enables the reader to
measure more readily the course of prices of a single article and also
40
BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
to follow tho course of prices of groups of articles. The relative
price also permits tho continuation of a price series when for any
reason quotations from one firm are discontinued 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 in this
report are fully explained in Appendix A.
Table IV .— Retail prices of cool, for household use, on January 15
and July 15, 1913, and January 15 and July 15, 1914, by cities and
by firms (pp. 336 to 355).— This table shows prices of coal in the cities
for which retail prices of food are shown. Prices are quoted for
Pennsylvania anthracite coal, stove size, Pennsylvania anthracite
coal, chestnut size, and bituminous coal for January 15 and July 15,
1914, and for comparative purposes prices on the corresponding
dates in 1913 have been entered. In some cities practically no
bituminous coal is used for household purposes, and in others prac
tically no Pennsylvania anthracite coal is used. Bituminous coal is
reported only for cities in which there is considerable demand for
bituminous for household use. In a few cities Colorado anthracite
and in one or two cities lignite and other varieties of coal are quoted.
Prices in most cases are quoted for coal in li ton lots” and in “ half
ton lots.” In connection with prices the number of pounds per ton
and per half ton is also shown.
The quotations were furnished by coal dealers in each city, who
responded to a request from the Bureau for this information. To
avoid identification, firm names are not shown, 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 preceding reports.
The prices quoted are for coal delivered to consumers, but do not
include charges for storing the coal in cellar or coal bin where an
extra handling is necessary, except as noted in connection with the
price quotation.

1 The prices are for the article generally know n to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep ( “ year
lin g ” ) varies from approxim ately 9 to 18 m onths. Owing to the fact that, in some firms, the age varies
considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ rela tive" prices are computed for this article in this
report.

lin g” ) 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 com puted 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 ( “ year
ling” ) 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 com puted for this article in this
report.

1The prices are for the 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
considerably with different seasons of the year, no “ relative” prices are com puted for this article in this
report.
