This bulletin, continuing the regular series on Retail Prices and Cost of Living, gives the actual sale prices during 1915 of 29 articles of food, 8 textiles, 2 kinds of anthracite coal, 1 bituminous coal, and gas. The prices per loaf of bread, together with the scaling weights before baking, are also shown in Table B. To enable the reader to see the percentage changes in prices more readily, the money prices of 26 articles of food and of stove, chest nut, and bituminous coal are reduced to relative prices, the average prices for 1915 being taken as 100. Individual relative prices for 15 of the 26 food commodities have been computed for the period 1907 to 1913, and for these commodities general weighted relative prices or index numbers have been calculated for that period, the price of each article being weighted according to the quantity consumed in the average workingman’s family, as shown in the Eighteenth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labor. Beginning with 1914, satis factory prices and weights for two other food commodities, chuck roast and plate boiling beef, have been obtained, and these additional articles are included in the relative prices and the index numbers for 1914 and 1915. For all the months of 1915 the weighted index numbers for the five geographical divisions and for the United States have been constructed from the actual prices of 21 different food commodities. The 4 commodities added to the former list are cheese, rice, tea, and coffee. While relative prices were made from the actual money prices of onions, beans, prunes, raisins, and canned salmon, these prices were not used in making the weighted price index num ber because no weights could be ascribed to them. No relative prices were computed for 3 articles for which actual prices are quoted in Table A of this report. These articles are 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; storage eggs, for which quotations are secured for only four months of each year; and oranges, the sizes of which vary from one season to another. 5 6 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS. The actual prices per pound of bread and the corresponding rela tive prices have not up to the present time been calculated, because some of the bread weights reported by bakers have not, until recently, been entirely satisfactory. It is believed that the scaling weights of bread are now sufficiently accurate, and hereafter the price of bread will be quoted by the pound, relative prices for bread will be cal culated, and bread prices will be included in the retail price indexes. Actual prices of eight kinds of dry goods, of three kinds of coal, and of manufactured and natural gas are given. The coal prices are reduced to relatives, but are not included in the retail price index numbers. It is greatly to be desired that the retail price index should be extended to include dry goods used for clothing and house furnishings, fuel, and rents, as well as a larger number of foods, but this can not be done until acceptable weights can be found for each new article to be added to the present list. The money prices at retail are shown for food, dry goods, and fuel in Tables A, D, E,'and F. Relative prices for the most important foods are presented in sum mary form in Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4, and for coal in Table 6, the more striking changes in prices being discussed in the text. BETATL PEICES, 1907 TO DEOEMBEB, 1915. 1 SUMMARY. FOOD. Table 1 presents the individual relative prices and the combined index numbers of 15 food commodities for the period 1907 to 1913, and of 17 food commodities for 1914 and 1915. The combined relative price or index number for 1915 is made up, as explained above, from the average prices of 21 articles of food, but in making the index number for 1914 only the prices of the 17 articles reported for both years were compared, in order to get the percentage the 1914 prices were of the 1915 prices. In the same manner the index num ber for 1913 was made by comparing the prices of the 15 commodities reported for 1913 with the identical articles reported in 1914, and so on year by year back to 1907.

[Average price for 1915—100.] A4 As 9 10 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS. Examination of Table 1 and the accompanying Charts Al to A5 reveals the fact that the prices of all articles reported for the period, except potatoes, have increased considerably between 1907 and 1915. Four articles—sirloin steak, round steak, rib roast, and milk—show a continuous rise in prices throughout the period up to 1915, when all four declined. Nine articles—pork chops, bacon, ham, lard, hens, eggs, butter, flour, and corn meal—slumped in price in 1911 after a pronounced rise. The slump was followed by a rapid recovery of prices in most instances. Flour and corn meal were somewhat un stable in price after 1911. Potatoes show violent and capricious price movements throughout, indicating that the quantities of pota toes marketed each year vary greatly. Sugar prices also vary capri ciously though not so violently as potato prices. Comparing prices in 1915 with prices in 1914, only three articles— flour, com meal, and sugar—were higher in 1915 than in 1914, and these three articles reached a higher point in 1915 than in any of the preceding eight years. Eleven articles reached their highest point in 1914. Flour, however, was 20 per cent and sugar 11 per cent higher in 1915 than in 1914. The index number for 1914 for the 17 com modities reported in both years shows that prices in that year were 1 per cent higher than in 1915. Table 1 above shows on the last line the change in the relative price of all articles of food combined, from year to year, 1907 to 1915. Table 2, next presented, gives the change month by month, for all articles combined, during the year 1915.

The accompanying Chart B enables one to follow the fluctuations month by month from January, 1912, more readily than can be done from the table of relative prices. In using this chart it must be remembered that all prices were obtained on the 15th of each month. Thus prices for August, 1914, reflect the panicky conditions following the outbreak of the war in Europe.

[Average price for 1915=100.] b o RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1915. 19 It will be noticed that some articles rise during certain months and fall during certain other months each year with considerable regu larity, attaining maximum and minimum prices in nearly the same months. So marked are the seasonal changes in prices that the curve tracing monthly price fluctuations for the 15 food commodities combined (Chart Bl) is a distinctly seasonal curve rising rapidly during the summer months, attaining a maximum in the autumn, and falling again rapidly to a minimum in the spring months. The shape of these retail price curves upsets many prevailing notions about price movements. The newspapers and trade journals convey the impression that the European war is the dominating influence now controlling all price changes of all commodities. It is true that retail food prices increased greatly immediately after the outbreak of war, and it seems probable that they have been maintained at a higher level ever since as a consequence of the increased demand abroad for our foodstuffs. A study of Table 3 and Charts Bl to B6, however, will convince anyone that with the exception of sugar, flour, and possibly corn meal the prices of the principal articles of food since October, 1914, have been mainly governed by local and seasonal conditions and not by the extraordinary exigencies brought about by war. The price of sugar shot up 52 per cent from July 15 to August 15, 1914. The elimination of beet sugar coming from Germany, Austria, and Russia from the American sugar market has kept sugar prices high during 1915. While flour did not jump in price so spectacularly as sugar, the cutting down of the area devoted to wheat growing in western Europe and the cutting off of Russian wheat from western Europe, resulting from the war, have so increased the demand for American wheat and flour that flour prices have advanced even more than sugar prices. Beef prices increased suddenly at the beginning of the war, but. soon fell again, since which they have behaved normally. Sirloin steak, round steak, and rib roast fluctuated nearly in unison through out the four-year period 1912 to 1915, attaining the highest points in July and-August and falling to the lowest in November and Decem ber, 1912 and 1913, and in March and December, 1915. A brief study of Chart B2, by comparing prices of the three kinds of fresh beef month by month, shows that beef prices were generally lower in 1915 than in 1914 in the same months, that they were lower in the spring months, did not rise so high in the summer months, and were appre ciably lower in the last month of the year. Table 1 and Chart A show very clearly that all kinds of fresh beef were cheaper in 1915 than in 1914. Prices of pork products, except lard, behave, as would be expected, much like prices of fresh beef. Pork chops show more violent fluc tuations tlian any other meat, having jumped 14 points, or about 13 20 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS. per cent between July and August, 1914, then falling rapidly 28 points, or nearly 23 per cent, by December. During 1915 the price ranged from 88 per cent of the year's average in February and March to 114 per cent in October. Chart A4 shows decidedly lower prices of pork chops, ham, and bacon in 1915 as compared with 1914. The prices of eggs fluctuate with extraordinary regularity through a wide range, touching the lowest points in March, April, and May, and reaching the highest points in November and December. The wide fluctuations in prices of eggs and potatoes made it advisable to show the price curves of these two commodities together on the same section of Chart B. The widest range in egg prices occurred in 1913, when prices rose from 74 per cent of the 1915 average in April to 146 per cent of this average in November. The price of hens is closely related to the price of eggs, generally rising when eggs fall and falling when eggs rise in price. The price curve for hens is much less regular and covers a much narrower range than the price curve for eggs. The prices of butter move with a considerable degree of unison in the same direction as egg prices, though the supply of butter is much more stable and, therefore, the prices do not fluctuate so widely as do the prices of eggs. Chart A3 shows clearly that butter has approximately the same periods of scarcity and of plenty as eggs. Milk also is a distinctly seasonal commodity, although its prices fluctuate over a very narrow range. Potatoes, the sole representative of fresh vegetables for which com parable prices have been obtained from 1907 on, show a riotous disre gard of law and order in their price changes. From April to November, 1912, potato prices fell more than 50 per cent, from 204 per cent of the 1915 average price to 101 per cent of the same average. In April, 1912, potatoes reached the record high price for the four years, 1912 to 1915. The following April they had fallen to a record low price which remained the low-price record for potatoes until November, 1914. The low point in 1915 was reached in September. The high points for 1913 were reached in July and September, for 1914 in July, and for 1915 in December. It will be noted that changes in the prices of potatoes come at unforetellable times, the high month of one year becoming the low month of another year. Not only is this so, but the high points in different years differ astonishingly. The difference between the lowest and highest prices in 1913 was much less than the difference between the highest price in 1913 and the highest price in 1912 or even m 1914. YEARLY AND MONTHLY PRICE CHANGES, BY GEOGRAPHICAL DIVISIONS. Table 4 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 1915, and for each month from January, 1912, to Decem RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1915. 21 ber, 1915; the per cent of increase and decrease in 1915 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 prices of the several articles weighted according to the average consumption in workingmen’s families (as shown by the bureau’s investigation of 1901) in each particular geographical division and in the United States as a whole, and are computed with the average price for the year 1915 as the base. As stated above, relative prices were computed for the period 1907 to 1913 for 15 articles. For 1914, relative prices were computed for two other articles, chuok roast and plate boiling beef, and these two articles were included in the index numbers beginning with 1914. For 1915, relative prices were computed for nine additional artioles— cheese, rice, onions, beans, prunes, raisins, coffee, tea, and canned salmon. However, as the bureau has figures from which weights can be established for only cheese, rice, coffee, and tea, only these articles are included in the weighted index numbers for 1915. 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 81 per cent of the average price in 1915, that in 1908 it was 83 per cent of the average price in 1915, etc.; the second col umn shows that the price in 1915 was 23 per cent higher than the price in 1907, that the price in 1908 was 20 per cent higher than the price in 1915, etc.; and the third column shows that the price in 1908 was 2 per cent higher than the price in 1907, that the price in 1909 was 4 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 Bulletin 156, 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, 1915, the relative prices for these two dates, viz, 81 and 107, respectively, should be divided by the relative price for 1907, thus giving 100 per cenj> for 1907, and 132 per cent for December, 1915, on the 1907 base, showing 32 per cent increase in price in December, 1915, over the average price for 1907. 22 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

DEALERS’ COMMENTS ON PRICE CHANGES. 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 July to December follow. The name of the city but not of the dealer is shown. July. A t l a n t a .—All fresh fruits and vegetables are extremely low in price, the lowest the writer has ever known during his 12 years’ ex perience in the business. There has been a great reduction in the price of package lard, No. 5 to No. 10 tin, and there has been a very great increase in the demand and use of cheaper cuts of meat—brisket, stew meats and that character. In our opinion, if it were not for the European war taking great quantities of the meat, the more select cuts of meat would also be reduced in price. A good sign for this place is we have about twice as many trucks as usual. C h a r l e s t o n , S. C.—Supply of milk short on account of dairy herds being recently tested for tuberculosis, and about 21$ per cent reacted, but supply will be normal in next 30 days. D a l l a s .—You will notice that teas have advanced. They are scarce and hard to get at any price. Meats of all kinds have advanced on us, but we have not put our price up in proportion to the advance. E l P a s o .—I think milk will go up to 13 cents per quart Septem ber 1. There is a milk famine here. We have to depend on dry feed all the year here. F a l l R i v e r .—Decrease in price of flour caused by break in flour market during June. Abundant supply of new potatoes has forced the price down. Increase in eggs, native eggs getting scarce. Now keeping storage eggs again. Los A n g e l e s .—Lower wheat market resulted in lower prices of flour. Eggs becoming scarce is the reason of higher prices. Large quantities of potatoes coming in making prices reasonably lower. M e m p h is .—Beef has advanced, not on account of the demand but on account of the scarcity of same this time of the year. Pork loins have also advanced but not enough to raise the retail price. M i l w a u k e e .—Old potatoes 10 cents a peck or 30 cents a bushel. Little call for them at any price. Potato market looks like 15 cents a peck or 60 cents a bushel for new before end of the week. N e w Y o r k .—Ceylon tea will be a little better in price, the market firm and price way up. The war had something to do with the tea market. P h il a d e l p h ia .—Lambs are $1 a hundred lower. Beef, $1 a hun dred higher. RETAIL PRICES, 19<W TO DECEMBER, 1915. 25 August. F a l l R i v e r .—Increase in price of eggs. Fresh, near-by, growing scarce. Decrease in wholesale price of butter and sugar. L o u is v il l e .—Our potato crop in this section is the finest crop ever known. Some of the gardeners tell me they are only bringing 90 cents per barrel. We don’t have many sales for hens just now, mostly spring chickens. Hens will not be in demand until later in the season. Hens are sold in the early spring, fall, and winter. N e w Y o r k .—The market on potatoes and onions just now is overflooded, also all other vegetables. That is the reason we sell potatoes for 1cent a pound and onions are 2 cents a pound, 3 pounds for 5 cents. P h il a d e l p h ia .—Pork loins are higher. The price has caused a fall off in the sales. Pork loins $2 a hundred higher, beef, $1 a hundred higher. September. B u t t e .—We are calling your attention to the market conditions as follows: Pork and its products are weak, with hams and lard cheaper. Flour will be cheaper as soon as new wheat is on the market and is sufficiently matured to offer for fancy flour. Storage eggs will be on the market the end of this month. Butter is getting higher and will be materially advanced in the near future. Potatoes are matur ing and prices going down. Sugar is weak, with a slight drop to the retail trade. Oranges are very high and nothing in the market but Valencias, it being the off season. C in c in n a t i .—Flour market very weak, will see lower prices for next month. Butter firm, will be higher. Packers have withdrawn from the market, no quotations to be had on any goods packed. No Florida oranges in market. C l e v e l a n d .—Wholesale price on pork loins has advanced to 19$ and 20$ cents per pound. Wholesale price on hams and bacon 1 to 2 cents per pound off. F a l l R iv e r .—Increase: Eggs, near-by, getting scarce. Storage advance. Decrease: Lard, price dropped by wholesalers. Flour, caused by break in wheat. Sugar, claimed to be caused by sharp competition among refiners. J a c k s o n v il l e .—Prices are cut to pieces by foreign merchants, 75 per cent of goods being sold at and below cost. “ Bum” condi tions in every food shop. L it t l e R o c k .—Eggs have advanced about 5 cents per dozen. Sugar has declined about 70 points. Oranges have advanced about $1 per box. P h il a d e l p h ia .—Pork loins are 20 cents a pound wholesale. We looked for a drop in price owing to the hot weather of the last two weeks, but it never came. 26 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OP LABOR STATISTICS. October. B a l t im o r e .—Sugar retailed for a few days only 10 pounds for 50 cents, but a certain reaction took place and had to advance to 55 cents. Strictly fresh eggs are very scarce and look for a further advance. B o sto n .—Pork has gone up 3 cents owing to the wholesalers’ claim to the scarcity. Eggs are advanced always this time of the year. B u f f a l o .—You will notice difference on eggs, 41 cents for the best which are fresh laid. Hennery eggs are scarce just now. D a l l a s .—Prices on all commodities are soaring at this time. Fresh meats and lambs are going out of sight. F a l l R iv e r .—Increase: Eggs, fresh, near-by, hard to get now. Potatoes, native—car potatoes being short, natives took a sudden jump. Decrease: Sugar, price reduced by refineries. M e m p h is .—The present outlook is in favor for an advance in everything in the grocery line. N e w O r l e a n s .—In the last 30 days there has been a sharp advance in a jobbing or wholesale way on nearly every article of foodstuff handled by the retail grocer. Some retail dealers having stocks have not advanced their prices, but will have to do so as soon as stocks are exhausted. Can advance no intelligent reason for their advances. P h il a d e l p h ia .—There has been quite a decided advance in the price of strictly fresh eggs, due to the hens molting, natural condi tions, but I find the trade is never ready for it. P it t sb u r g h .—All meats are at a moderate price outside lamb and pork. Prices have jumped to the extreme limit, each 2£ cents higher than last month. Think it is on account of the quarantine on live stock in Chicago stockyards. November. C h a r l e s t o n , S. C.—Refined sugar has advanced on account of the advance in raws. F a l l R iv e r .—Increase: Ham, lard, butter, sugar—prices ad vanced by packers, brokers, and refineries. Eggs, native, very scarce. Storage advanced by handlers. Potatoes, natives, advanced by farmers. Decrease in flour caused partly by use of new wheat. M in n e a p o l is .—Eggs and butter are soaring high at this season and probably will be an advance yet for some time. Sugar was low at one time for a few days but has come back pretty nearly to its former high price. O m a h a .—Fresh eggs very scarce. No new beet sugar before Jan uary. Beans, Michigans, late, selling Califomias, high freight rate. Raisins, short crop, no competition abroad. P h il a d e l p h ia .—The egg market has developed an extreme scarcity since last report. The hens have laid very steadily since last spring and are laid out and that with the molting period will account for the scarcity. RETAIL PRICES, 190*7 TO DECEMBER, 1915. 27 P i t t s b u r g h .—Prices are moderate on all fresh meats again, but smoked meat is still jumping in its price. December. B i r m i n g h a m .—Increase in price of milk owing to scarcity of product. Milk also low in fat account of increased price of feed. B u t t e .—Oranges are selling cheaper as we buy for less. F a l l R iv e r .—Flour market stiffened. Millers asked higher prices for immediate shipment. Sugar refiners advanced quotations. Eggs, strictly fresh, supply greater than demand on account of the extremely high prices of the past month. N e w O r l e a n s .—Pure lard and meal were selling in a jobbing way at lower figures in early part of this month, hence the lower prices. Flour, beans, and potatoes, though costing the retail grocer more than this time last month, are being retailed at same prices. O m a h a . —Oranges, small sizes very scarce. We are selling 100 size as cheap as 150 size. S t . L o u is .—Milk has been quite scarce for the past three months. 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, July to December, 1915, and for comparative purposes for the corresponding dates of 1914, where available. Comparisons of weights on December 15, 1915, and on December 15, 1914, are available for 27S brands, and of that number the weight of 17 brands was heavier on December 15, 1915, than on the corresponding date in 1914, the weight of 58 brands was unchanged, and the weight of 203 brands was lighter. The weights of wheat bread, shown in Table B of this report, were reported from representative bakeries in each dty. 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. The following remarks accompanied bakers’ reports of bread weights during the last six months of 1915: Avgust. S t . P a u l .— H igh cost of flour forces cut in size of loaf. S a l t L a k e C i t y .—By lowering the percentage to the retailer we were able to increase the weight of 5-cent loaves. September. D e t r o it .—As soon as we can use the new spring wheat flour which will be about October 1, reduction of 1 cent on small and 1 cent'on large loaves will be made. 28 BULLETIN OP THE BUREAU OP LABOR STATISTICS. October. C i n c i n n a t i .—The slight reduction of flour prices enables us to increase our bread weights. D e t r o i t . —Change in price due to using new flour this month which is considerably lower in price than old flour. L o u i s v i l l e . —We are getting cheaper flour now so have increased the weight. December. M i l w a u k e e .—Have added one-half ounce to each loaf on account of drop in price of flour. N e w O r l e a n s .—Flour has advanced since last report. S c r a n t o n .—We have steam ovens, bread holds weight. We are scaling heavy to hold trade, losing money. COAL. Prior to 1914, retail prices of coal for household use were secured quarterly by the bureau, on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15, but beginning with 1914 prices were secured semiannually, on January 15 and July 15. The table which follows gives, for each of the geographical divi sions, the per cent of increase ,or decrease in the price of coal from July 15, 1914, to July 15, 1915. Three kinds of coal are included— Pennsylvania anthracite, white ash, stove size; Pennsylvania anthra cite, white ash, chestnut size; and bituminous. The comparisons are of coal for household use and sold in ton lots. Table E shows actual prices of the three classes of coal above named in ton lots and in half-ton lots.

Omaha, Nebr.: From $1.15 to $1 for manufactured gas. Portland, Oreg.: From $0,886 to $0,907 for manufactured gas. Salt Lake City, Utah: From $1.30 to $0.90 for gas for illuminating purposes. Seattle, Wash.: From $1 to $1.25 for manufactured gas. SCOPE OF STUDY AND METHOD OF OBTAINING PRICES. This report presents for each of 44 of the most important industrial cities in the various sections of the United States the retail prices of the principal articles of food, the weight and prices of the principal brands of wheat bread, the retail prices of eight articles of dry goods, the retail prices of anthracite and bituminous coal, and of gas for household use. The retail prices of food in El Paso, Tex., as shown in this report, begin with November 15, 1914, and the prices for Butte, Mont., begin with January 15, 1915. Data are furnished to the bureau by approximately 725 retail stores, 150 bakeries, 215 retail coal dealers, 65 gas companies, and 205 dry-goods companies. Excellent results have followed the use of the form books for report ing prices. Ninety-six per cent of the reports for January to Decem ber, 1915, requested 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 Baltimore, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Manchester, Newark, Philadelphia, Springfield, and Washington. Almost every coal firm, gas company, and dry-goods merchant 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, six smaller cities were included as being Industrially important in those sections. The six cities are Butte, Mont.; El Paso, Tex.; Fall River, Mas?.; Schenectady, N. Y.; Scranton, Pa.; and Springfield, 111. Charleston, W. Va., was included in the bureau’s study of retail prices from May 15,1914, to June 15,1915, but owing to the difficulty RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1915. 31 of securing sufficient meat quotations from that city it became neces sary to discontinue the publication of prices from that city. 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 continental United States. The 44 cities for which prices were secured have been grouped into five geographical divisions, as follows: North Atlantic division: Boston, Mass. Buffalo, N. Y. Fall River, Mass. Manchester, N. H.

The present report gives retail prices of the principal articles of food in 44 industrial cities in the United States for July to Decem ber, 1915, and for comparative purposes the prices on the corre sponding dates of 1914. Summaries are also presented covering the nine years from 1907 to 1915.1 i Previous investigations of retail prices have been made and published by the Bureau of Labor Statis tics, as follows: Eighteenth Annual Report, 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 No. 77 (July, 1908), covering 1907; Bulletin No. 105 (August, 1912), covering 1907 to 1911; Bulletin No. 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 No. 113 (March, 1913), covering November and December, 1912; Bulletin No. 115 (April, 1913), covering January and Feb ruary, 1913; Bulletin No. 125 (June, 1913), covering March and April, 1913; Bulletin No. 132 (August, 1913), covering May and June, 1913; Bulletin No. 136 (September, 1913), covering July and August, 1913; Bul letin No. 138 (December, 1913), covering September and October, 1913; Bulletin No. 140 (February, 1914), covering November and December, 1913; Bulletin No. 156 (March, 1915), covering January to December, 1914; and Bulletin No. 184 (November, 1915), covering January to June, 1915. 32 BULLETIN OP THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS. The 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, German, and Scandinavian wage earners. Practically all of the stores included are neighborhood stores, as such stores more nearly represent the trade of workingmen’s families. A compara tively few “ down-town” stores are included. “ Chain stores” (a number of stores in one city owned or controlled by one firm) are not included, except in a few cities where such stores are so numerous that they form a very important factor in the city’s trade. So-called “ cut-rate” 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 comparison of prices between cities widely separated or between localities where qualities and market conditions vary greatly. For no article is it possible 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 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, eggs, and potatoes than in other articles. In Bulletin No. 184, quotations were given for canned com, peas, and tomatoes, from January to June, 1915, but the publication of prices of these articles has been discontinued owing to the impossi bility of following the same or equivalent grades from month to month in a sufficient number of stores. 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 five cuts of beef, as follows: Sirloin steak, round steak, rib roast, chuck roast, and plate boiling beef. Methods of cutting beef vary considerably in different cities and to some extent this affects retail prices. RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1915. 33 The majority of firms that furnished quotations for cuts of meat quoted in this report buy “ straight cattle” 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 fore quarter. 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. These ribs are sold either as roast or porterhouse steak. If 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. II, 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 quotation 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 35432°— B u ll. 197— 16-------3 34 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS. 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. Fore quarters 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 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. “ Ribs” are usually separated from chucks by cutting across the backbone between the fifth and sixth ribs, counting from the front backward. “ Ribs’9 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 prior to 1914. Plates include the fore-quarter 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. No relative prices have been computed for plate prior to 1914. 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 always identical in a store throughout 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 Scandinavian 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. RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1915. 35 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 slicod bacon and therefore have quoted bacon by the piece and hava 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 oases 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 Iamb, 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. 36 BULLETIN OP THE BUREAU OP LABOR STATISTICS. Canned salmon. Quotations on canncd salmon 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 brand or grade has been entered in connection with the price. Where a merchant has quoted a brand manufactured especially for his trade or which carries his firm name the description entered is “ special brand” in order not to dis close the identity of the firm furnishing information to the bureau. The brand or grade selected for quotations is that sold largely in the stores reporting prices and upon whicii quotations can bo secured from month to month. Salmon comes in two-sized cans, large and small. The net weight of the large can is usually 15 to 16 ounccs and of the small can from 7\ to 8 ounces. The net weight as given on the can is entered in connection with the price. Prices are for a single-can sale, except in a fow instances where the two-can sale predominates in family trade. 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 describod as “ drawn” or “ not drawn.” In a fow 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. E o 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 RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1915. 37 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 “ storage” during the spring months was eggs “ iced in transit” and not eggs that had been in storage. No relative prices have been computed 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 importance. 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 scale, 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 cases the price as quoted on the most usual unit of sale has been reduced 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 “ tub” butter, or in bricks, termed “ print” butter. When print butter is put up in cartons it is often termed “ package” butter. 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. Cheese. The quotations for cheese represent the kind known as “ full cream” or “ whole milk.” The cheese quoted is principally New York or Wisconsin, but in the western division some quotations have been furnished on local cheese, such as Oregon, California, and Utah. Where a store carries cheese from more than one State at different prices, quotations are given on cheese from one State only. All prices are on the pound basis. Milk. All quotations are by the quart and are for milk regularly delivered to customers. 38 BULLETIN OP THE BUREAU OP LABOB STATISTICS. 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 state ment indicating whether the milk is sold “ raw” or “ pasteurized.” 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 oases 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. 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 three firms in Indianapolis and by the sixteenthbarrel bag from an occasional firm in a few of the cities. The weight of the various-sized 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 24£ 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 brfind 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” in order not to disclose the identity of the firm furnishing information to the bureau. Corn meal. The com meal for which prices are given is bulk or bag meal, and not fancy meal in cartons or packages. . 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. RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1915. 39 The price of corn meal is quoted in this report on a 1-pound basis. These figures have been derived from the price charged by the dealer for the quantity of com meal most in demand among his cus tomers and represent a great variety of units of sale. In New Eng land cities and in 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 cents’ worth. In most southern cities sales of 10 pounds or more predominate, whil in the cities of the far West reports on any other unit than 10 pounds are exceptional. No prices for com meal are reported for Scranton as it is little used and is sold mostly in cartons. Rice. Practically all the quotations are on domestic rice grown princi pally in Louisiana and Texas. Prices are on the full grain only. The rice for which prices are given is mostly loose rice, with occa sional quotations on the pound package where the package forms the bulk of sales. Although prices are quoted on the pound basis, in many, if not most, cases the usual quantity sold is greater than 1 pound. 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 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. 40 BULLETIN OF THE BTJBEAU OF LABOB STATISTICS. Onions. The quotations on onions are for the variety in common use. In most localities the yellow onion predominates, but in some cities the red onion forms the bulk of sales. New onions from the South, of other varieties, have been quoted when they replace the yellow or red onions. The unit of sale varies with different firms, being pound, quart, or one-fourth peck. When new onions come into the market the unit of sale frequently changes from quart or one-fourth peck to the pound basis. Beans. All quotations for beans are for the article commonly known as “ navy” or “ pea” beans. The prices quoted are on the pound or on the quart basis, both units of sale prevailing in nearly all cities. In many cases where prices are given on the pound basis the usual quantity sold is greater than 1 pound. Oranges. Quotations are given on both California and Florida oranges where they are sold. Very few quotations on Florida oranges have been furnished to the bureau from the North Central division and no Florida oranges are quoted in the Western division. All quotations are on the basis of 1 dozen, and the size of the oranges quoted has been entered in connection with each quotation. As the sizes sold frequently change even within the same store, no relative prices are computed for this article in the report of the bureau. Prunes. The prunes for which prices are given are mostly California prunes, although in the Western division quotations are also given on Oregon or Italian prunes. All quotations are on the loose prunes, on a pound basis, although in many, if not in most cases, the sales are for quan tities greater than 1 pound. Quotations are given on the size of prunes having the heaviest sales in the stores reporting prices. The size is entered in connection with the price. Raisins. The raisins for which prices are given are the seeded raisins, in packages. The net weight of these packages varies from 15 to 16 ounces in the “ pound” package and from 10 to 12 ounces in the smaller package. The net weight is entered in connection with the price. Sugar. AH quotations are for granulated sugar and are on a pound basis. These prices per pound in most cases have been derived from prices RETAIL PRICES, 1907. TO DECEMBER, 1915, 41 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. Coffee. The coffee for which prices are given is pure roasted coffee, mostly in bulk, with quotations from a few firms on package coffee, where loose coffee has a relatively small sale. The quotations from each firm are for a definite grade throughout the period for which prices are quoted, except as indicated. Where a merchant has quoted a brand or blend manufactured especially for his trade, or which carries his firm name, the coffee has been entered as “ special blend,” in order not to disclose the identity of the firm furnishing information to the bureau. All quotations are on the pound basis. Tea. The tea for which prices are given is principally loose, with quota tions from some firms on package tea where the loose tea has com paratively little sale. Quotations throughout the period for which prices are quoted are on the tea having the heaviest sale in each store. Many quotations are on mixed or blended tea. Most quotations are on the pound basis. In the package tea, however, many quotations are on a smaller quantity, and the net weight of the package is entered in connection with the price. 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 15th of each month from January to December, 1915, and, where available, corresponding information for the same months of 1914 is shown for comparison. This scaling weight is the weight of the loaf before baking. While it would be highly desirable to present the weight of the loaf as actually purchased by the consumer, the complications involved in the relation of tne 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 uncertainty 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 delivery to the con sumer, the loss by evaporation also being partly determined by the 42 BULLETIN OF THE BUBEAU OF LABOR STATISTICS. 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 14$ ounces. As noted above, however, the range of loss varies widely. From Table B 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. 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. With few exceptions, the most representative bakeries in every city included in this report have promptly furnished to the bureau informa tion concerning bread weights on the 15th of each month. DRY GOODS. In this report prices are given of eight articles of dry goods: Calico, percale, apron gingham, dress gingham, muslin, sheeting, sheets, and outing flannel. The prices shown are the retail prices at which these articles were sold on October 15, 1915, in the 44 cities covered by this report. For purposes of comparison the prices on May 15, 1915, the date of the last previous report, have been entered. The merchants who kindly furnished the information for this report were, in most instances, personally visited by agents of the bureau, and the stores selected are large and representative depart ment stores. Stores regularly handling large lines of the goods mentioned above were considered representative for the purposes of the report. In some cities this includes all the large department stores. Stores dealing largely in mill ends or seconds are not included. The prices quoted are the regular retail prices, and in no case “ cut rate” or “ special sale” prices, or prices on mill ends or seconds. The articles upon which prices are quoted are goods which main tain the same standard of quality from year to year. The varieties shown are those having a large sale in the store from which prices are quoted. Mill or brand names are shown in connection with the prices, except in a few cases where a brand is manufactured especially for one firm or carries a firm name. In such cases the description entered is “ private brand” in order not to disclose the identity of the firm furnishing information to the bureau. EETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1915. 43 All quotations on piece goods aie on the yard basis and the width is given in the tabulation. Prices on sheets are per sheet and, with a few exceptions, are on the 81 by 90 size. The size is entered in con nection with the price. COAL. This report shows the increase in retail prices of coal during the period since 1907 and gives actual prices of coal on July 15, 1915. For comparative purposes prices are also entered for the correspond ing date in 1914. 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 Colo rado anthracite and subbituminous or black lignite. In most cases prices are quoted for sales “ in ton lots” and “ in half-ton lots,” but bituminous coal is quoted in Memphis and New Orleans “ in 10barrel lots” of 1,800 pounds and “ in 5-barrel lots” of 900 pounds, and in Pittsburgh “ in 25-bushel lots” of 1,900 pounds and “ in 14bushel lots” of 1,064 pounds and “ in 15-bushel lots” of 1,140 pounds. 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. Bituminous 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 bitu minous 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 October 15,1915, and for purposes of comparison the prices on April 15, 1915, 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 domestic purposes. The 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 * Previous reports, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, containing data relative to retail prices of coal for household use, are Bulletins Nos. 105,106,108,110,113,115, 125,132,136,138,140, 156, and 184 44 BULLETIN OP THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS. 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. Table A.—Retail prices of the principal articles of food on (he 15th of each month, July to December, 1914, and July to December, 1915, by cities and by firms {pp. 47 to 292).—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 29 principal articles of food. Prices are quoted for the 15th of each month, July to December, 1915, and for comparative purposes prices on the corre sponding dates in 1914 have been entered. When the 15th fell on Sunday or on a holiday, the prices quoted were for the 16th of the month. 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 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, 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 preceding reports, covering the period from 1907 to June, 1915. Three articles are included in this table which are not carried into the tables showing relative prices of food; these articles are storage eggs, leg of lamb (“ yearling” ), and oranges. Table B.—Bread weights: Scaling weight (weight of dough before baking), in ounces, of the principal brand’s of wheat bread on the 15th of each month, July to December, 1914, and July to December, 1915, by cities and byfirms and brands (pp. 293 to SOI).—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, July to December, 1915, and for comparative purposes weights on the corresponding dates in 1914 have been entered where available. When the 15th fell on Sunday or on a holiday, the weights quoted were for the 16th of the month. 1 Previous reports, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, containing data relative to prices of gas for household use, are Bulletins Nos. 105,106,108,110,113,115,125,132,136,138,140,156, and 184. RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1915. 45 Weight quotations were secured from several representative bakeries 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 0.—Relative retail prices of the principal articles of food, 1907 to December, 1915, by geographical divisions (pp. 802 to 324).— This table shows for each of 26 principal articles of food the rela tive price for each year from 1907 to 1915, and for each month from January, 1912, to December, 1915. Relative prices are not shown for chuck roast and plate boiling beef previous to January, 1914, nor for cheese, rice, onions, beans, prunes, raisins, coffee, tea, and canned salmon, prior to January, 1915. Relative prices for leg of lamb, storage eggs, and oranges have not been computed, as explained on page 5. A relative price of any article is the per cent which the price of that article at any certain date is ol 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 1915. 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 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 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 for merly 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, Bulletin No. 156. Table D.—Retail prices of 8 articles of dry goods on May 16 and October 16, 1916, by cities and by firms (pp. 825 to 852).—This table shows the prices of 8 articles of dry goods in the 44 cities covered by this report. Quotations are given for May 15 and October 15, 1915. The 8 articles included in the table are articles in common use in the normal household, and the brands selected for quotations are those which maintain the same quality from year to year. Calico i3 little used in some cities, but has considerable sale in others. Where there is a variation in the price of light and dark prints of the same brand of calico it is noted in the tabulation. Quotations were secured from the representative department stores in each city. To avoid identification, firm names are not shown, but 46 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS. each firm has been given a number which will enable one to follow the prices quoted from time to time. Table E.—Retail prices of coal, for household me, on July 15,1914, and July 15,1915, by cities and byfirms (pp. 858 to 869).—This table shows prices of coal in the cities for which retail prices of food are shown. Prices are quoted for Pennsylvania anthracite white-ash coal, stove size, Pennsylvania anthracite white-ash coal, chestnut size, and bituminous coal for July 15, 1915, and for comparative purposes prices on the corresponding date in 1914 have been entered. In some cities practically no bituminous coal is used for household purposes, and in others practically no Pennsylvania anthracite whiteash 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 subbituminous or black lignite and other varieties of coal are quoted. Prices in most cases are quoted for coal in “ 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. Table F.—Net price per 1,000 cubic feet of gas for household use on April 15, 1915, and on October 15, 1915, by cities and by companies (p. 870).—The price of gas shown in this table is secured by the bureau semiannually, on April 15 and October 15. Net prices for gas for household use are shown in this report for October 15, 1915, and for purposes of comparison prices on April 15, 1915, are also given. Prices for October 15, 1915, are reported for manufactured gas from 51 companies in 38 cities, for natural gas from 13 companies in 9 cities, and for mixed manufactured and natural gas from 2 companies in 1 city.
