RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1915.
INTRODUCTION.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Table 3 gives the individual relative prices for the whole United
States of the several articles for which comparable money prices could
be obtained for the years 1907 to 1915, and for each month beginning
with January, 1912. 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.

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

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

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.

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.

RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO DECEMBER, 1915.

The table which follows compares for each of the given geographical
divisions and for the United States as a whole relative prices in each
year, 1907 to 1915, and relative prices in July of each year, with the
average price for 1915 of three kinds of coal—Pennsylvania anthra­
cite, white ash, stove size; Pennsylvania anthracite, white ash, chest­
nut size; and bituminous. Bituminous coal is reported only for
cities in which there is considerable demand for bituminous coal for
household use. The comparisons are of coal for household use as
sold in ton lots.

Omaha, Nebr.: From $1.15 to $1 for manufactured gas.
Portland, Oreg.: From $0,886 to $0,907 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.

FOOD.

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.

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,

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

of coal for household use, are Bulletins Nos. 105,106,108,110,113,115, 125,132,136,138,140, 156, and 184

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.
