U. S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
WHOLE NO. 184.

WASHINGTON.

NOVEMBER, 1915.

RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO JUNE, 1915.1
FOOD.

In order that the course of prices of each of the various articles
through a series of years may be studied, relative prices have been
computed for each of 172 articles included in this investigation.
These relative prices for the several articles have also been combined,
so that the course of prices of food as a whole may be seen. The 17
articles represent approximately two-thirds of the expenditure for
food by the average workingman’s family, as shown in the Eighteenth
Annual Keport of the Commissioner of Labor.
No relative prices were computed for 15 articles for which actual
prices are quoted in General Table I 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 cheese, rice, beans, coffee, tea,
canned corn, canned peas, canned tomatoes, canned salmon, onions,
primes, raisins, and oranges, for which quotations have been secured
for only six months.
In the last line of the first table below are given relative prices of the
17 articles of food weighted according to the average consumption in
workingmen’s families. These figures show a decline of 4 per cent in
prices from January to June, and lower prices in each month, except­
ing January, than for the year 1914.
Considering the 17 articles separately, eight articles advanced in
price from January to June; seven articles declined in price, the
decline in the price of three of these being due to seasonal changes:
and for two articles the price showed no change.
1 This report summarizes data published in previous retail-price reports of the bureau (Bulletins Nos. 105,
196, 108,110, 113, 115,125,132,136,138, 140, and 156), and thus furnishes a comparison of retail prices of food
from 1907 to June, 1915. Actual retail prices of the principal articles of food and actual bread weights ar3
shown in this report for the 15th of January, February, March, April, May, and June, 1915, and for purposes
of comparison for corresponding dates in 1914. For explanation of the scope of this report and of the method
of collecting data see page 24 et seq.
2 For 1907 to 1913, inclusive, the relative prices included 15 articles, chuck roast and plate boiling beef
being added beginning with January, 1914.

While the price of all articles combined and weighted according to
the average consumption in workingmen’s families was 9 per cent
higher in June, 1912, than in June, 1911, the advance in price from
June, 1912, to June, 1915, was very slight, only 1 per cent, and there
was no change from June, 1914, to June, 1915. For the articles taken
separately, 11 declined in price from June, 1914, to June, 1915, but

there was so marked an advance in flour and sugar as to offset the
decline in other articles.

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

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 82 per cent of the average price in 1914, that in 1908 it
was 84 per cent of the average price for 1914, etc.; the second col­
umn shows that the price in 1914 was 22 per cent higher than the
price in 1907, that the price in 1914 was 19 per cent higher than the
price in 1908, 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 June, 1915, the relative prices for these two dates,
viz, 82 and 97, respectively, should be divided by the relative price
for 1907, thus giving 100 per cent for 1907, and 118 per cent for
June, 1915, on the 1907 base, showing 18 per cent increase in price
in June, 1915, over the average price for 1907.
The relative retail prices in the United States, considered as a whole,
of each of the 171 principal articles of food for the 8J years, 1907 to
June, 1915, inclusive, are presented in the table which follows.
General Table III of this report shows similar data for each of the
five geographical divisions. This table shows yearly prices for 1907
to 1914, and prices each month from January, 1912, to June, 1915.
1 For 1907 to 1913, inclusive, the relative prices included 15 articles, chuck roast and plate boiling beef
being added beginning with January, 1914.

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

In the above table, as in the preceding table of relative prices, the
average price for 1914 is the base, or 100. The figures in the column
for round steak, for example, indicate that if the average price of
round steak for 1914 be considered 100, the price in 1913 was 95, or
5 per cent below the average for 1914; the price in 1910 was 74
or 26 per cent below the average for 1914; the price in 1907 was 64
or 36 per cent below the average price for 1914, etc.
In connection with the price quotations furnished the Bureau of
Labor Statistics each month, the retail merchants are invited to
state “ the cause of any material advance or decline in the price of
any article since the middle of last month.” Some of the statements
of the opinions of the retail merchants accompanying price reports
for January to June follow. The name of the city but not of the
dealer is shown.
January.

B a l t im o r e .—Fresh eggs have been very scarce during the season, but in the last
week the receipts have been more liberal, and a decline of 8 cents occurred in one
day. Flour is solely controlled by the wheat market.
B o st o n . —Flour is very high. Beans are going up. I know of no reason.
B u t t e .—Wish to record considerable advance in all grades of flour due to sudden
rise in price of wheat. Advance in price of flour since December 15, 1914, has been
more than $1 per barrel.
D e n v e r .—General opinion the rise in flour caused by the demand for export wheat.
D e t r o it .—Flour higher on account of the war. New-laid eggs are very scarce.
E l P a s o .— F lour has advanced on account of higher prices in wheat.

Sugar is some­

what down, b u t not enough to justify selling cheaper.
J a c k s o n v il l e .—We are now selling flour below actual cost, and will be compelled
to raise the price unless there should be a decline soon. The cost on rice is getting
very close to our selling price, i. e. 4J-5 cents. Tennessee eggs are not coming in plen­
tiful and Florida eggs are also scarce. We may have to resort to storage later on.
K a n s a s Ci t y . —The Consumers’ League and the Board of Health are making such
a fight for pure milk and clean milk and are making such rigid laws for the dairymen,
which if enforced, will, I believe, raise the price of milk to 10 cents per quart within
the next sixty days.
L ittle R o c k .—Dressed hens are cheaper this month; slow sale and a good many
on the market. Packing-house pork loins are selling 4 cents per pound cheaper than
a month ago.
L o u is v il l e .—The only wide fluctuation is on flour, due to export demand.
M e m p h is .—Since the middle of last month there has been a decided advance in
the price of flour. No doubt on account of the European war. Eggs are very scarce
and strictly fresh ones are very hard to obtain.
P h il a d e l p h ia . —During the past month eggs have been exceedingly scarce, even
for the season, and sold readily at 60 cents per dozen. But last week the supply
increased a little more than the demand and the prices weakened—to-day we are sell­
ing at 45 cents, and if the open mild weather continues, would not be surprised to see
quite a decided break in price.
P h il a d e l p h ia . —Gold Medal flour advanced from $6.55 to $7.10 in one week. From
January 4 to January 11, 1915, fresh eggs dropped 15 cents per dozen in five days.
P it t s b u r g h . —The only decline in meat is in pork; cause in my opinion hogs held
back on account of the hoof-and-mouth disease some time ago. This also threw the
packers behind. Now the market supply is greater than the demand and is the cause




RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO JUNE, 1915.

17

of lower prices. The changes in bee! are only that one cut will sell better than another,
so we have to lower or raise in order to sell that which gets behind.
R ichmond.—Owing to advance in wheat, flour is much higher.
Sa lt L a k e Ci t y .—California oranges are very cheap here now, owing to a local
scrap between several of our larger dealers; all sizes, 96, 126, 150, 176, 200, being sold
to us wholesale at $2 per case. We handle no Florida oranges.
February.

A t l a n t a .—Price

variations are due to market fluctuations.
Cl e v e l a n d . —Flour price was caused by rise of wholesale dealers.
F a ll R i v e r .—Decrease: Bacon and ham, price reduced by wholesalers; eggs, fresh
near-by, increase of supply, hens beginning to lay. Increase: Flour, advance in price
by flour agent; sugar, advance in price by refineries claimed to be caused by inability
to procure raw sugar fast enough from Cuba and other foreign ports.
Ja c k s o n v il l e .—Florida eggs are now coming in more plentiful. The price has
declined and the quality is excellent. City ordinance requires us to sell potatoes by
weight and not by measure. When customers call for a peck they get 15 pounds.
M e m p h is .—There has been some change on pork as there are a good many country
hogs coming in now.
M i l w a u k e e .—Surplus of milk produced, and consumption reduced by hard times.
(Supply and demand.)
N e w H a v e n .—Price of wheat is what made flour so dear.
O m a h a . —The war in Europe is the cause of the advance of beans, sugar, and flour.
R ic h m o n d .—Flour has naturally followed wheat, but we, like lots of other mer­
chants, are, by having a supply on hand, selling flour at or below the wholesale market.
The same may be said of granulated sugar. To-day it is quoted at $5.90 per cwt. bulk
basis. Fresh eggs are plentiful to a degree, therefore there is a reduction in the price
of 8 cents.
St . L o u is . —Sugar has advanced $1 per hundred, the cause given to us the Cuban
crops are being ruined by too much rain for the cane crops. Flour advance of $1.50
per barrel, the cause shipping to foreign trade. Eggs more plentiful, 8 cents per dozen
lower.
S c r a n t o n .—Eggs lower, due to advanced season which means a larger supply.
Sp r in g f ie l d . —High prices of wheat, claimed on account of war, raises the prices on
flour and sugar.
March.

Cl e v e l a n d .—On

March 17 I paid for beet granulated sugar $6.30 by the barrel.
Cane sugar was quoted $6.40, but I did not raise the retail price because I expect a drop.
F a ll R i v e r .—Near-by strictly fresh eggs have decreased in price so as to make
them as cheap as storage eggs. We now handle only eggs brought in by the farmer.
Sugar price advanced by refineries.
Ja c k s o n v il l e .—Since our last report eggs declined to 20 cents and we sold them
for that for about three weeks, but now they are scarce again and consequently higher.
L ittle R o c k .—Flour has declined. Sugar has advanced is the reason for changes
in price. Flour has not declined enough to justify this price, but competition is keen
enough to cause the drop.
P h il a d e l p h ia .—The decline in price of eggs is seasonable. There seems to be an
unusual quantity of butter for the time of year. That with a lessened demand is cause
for decline.
April.

E l P a s o . —Flour went higher in April than it has been in a long time, and the
quality in most brands did not hold up, possibly on account of using inferior wheat
or reducing the grades and using more seconds in the first grade. Meal is always
affected by the price of flour.
6131°—Bull. 184—16----- 2

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

F all R i v e r .—Decrease, lard and butter—price reduced by wholesalers.
Pota­
toes, handling only natives. Decrease in price of car potatoes to reduce price to
unload before these potatoes became unsalable. Increase: Eggs, fresh western and
native now same price. Natives have increased a trifle, as they have ceased to
accommodate. Sugar, price advanced by refineries.
Little R o c k .—Price on oranges has advanced 50 cents per box.
L ittle R o c k .—Flour has advanced. Northern onions not much good.
TexasBermudas are what most all grocers are selling now. Oranges have advanced in
price is reason of raise.
O m a h a .—Reasons for change in price of the following articles: Eggs, being stored;
butter, scarcity of cream; canned vegetables, cleaning up old stock.
Philadelphia.—Sheep are out of sight. We paid $16 per hundredweight. We
can not cut cost out of sheep at those prices, and do not believe will buy again until
prices drop.
P i t t s b u r g h .—Supply and demand; hens are laying pretty freely, farmers don't
care to sell, busy with spring work. (Eggs.)
May.

A t l a n t a . —We

use native beef and the supply has been larger. We are now
dependent on western loins of pork. Are now getting larger supply of eggs.
B u t t e .—Potatoes, old, have taken a sharp advance and due to go higher. Cali­
fornia has used about all surplus stock in hands of the growers.
Jacksonville.—Prices on sugar, flour, and provisions seem to be stiff. Tea is
on the upward march also.
Kansas Ci t y .—Flour has advanced 15 cents per 100 pounds, so naturally I must
advance also.
Minneapolis.—Butter has been more plentiful and more off grade, which has a
tendency to pull the price down. More demand for cheese probably has been the
cause for advance.
Philadelphia.—Pork loins are advanced and hams are slightly higher. They
always raise the smoked goods about this time each year.
Springfield.—We find in case of the war that sugar, flour, and beans are consid­
erably higher, with chance of higher flour and sugar.
June.

A t l a n t a .—There has been a decline on flour and an increase on sugar in the whole­
sale market. I have increased eggs on account of having to make good so many bad
ones. The wholesale market is about normal.
B o s t o n .—Legs of lamb quoted higher, on account of extremely high price of
lamb at wholesale. No Florida oranges in stock at present.
C h a r l e s t o n , S. C . —Demand poor. Supply plentiful. (Milk.)
D a l l a s .—With the arrival of new wheat, flour is declining. Old potatoes being
nearly off the market, are higher.
D e n v e r .—Old potatoes out of the market. We are quoting California and
Texas now.
F a ll R i v e r .—Decrease: Flour, caused by break in flour market. Increase: Eggs,
selling only native, fresh supply getting slightly less; potatoes, have dropped old
potatoes, now selling only new.
Ja c k s o n v il l e .—Do not quote oranges, because we are unable to secure good fruit
at present. Last we had (about two weeks ago) were small, but good.
L ittle R o c k .—Pork is much higher. Packers claim they are very scarce, not
many coming to the market.
L ittle R o c k .—Eggs higher, on account of candling out bad ones.




RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO JUNE, 1915.

19

Los A n g e l e s .—A decline in flour, due to market conditions. A reduction in
eggs, due to a bountiful supply. Advance in butter, due to scarcity of milk. A
decline in potatoes, due to large supply of local new ones.
N e w O r l e a n s .—Note advance in retail price of granulated sugar. While the
wholesale or jobbing price of granulated sugar has not changed very much in the last
90 days, I found that selling this sugar at the rate of 16 pounds for $1 was a continu­
ous loss, so that in the beginning of June I changed my price to 14 pounds for $1. I
think I am selling near the same amount.
O m a h a .—Flour, enormous crop of new wheat. Eggs, storing season over. Pota­
toes, new ones from the south. Sugar, preserving fruits. Onions, home-grown now
on market.
P it t s b u r g h . —Pork has taken a decrease of 5 cents per pound, owing to the warm
weather, when pork is fiot in demand. We have a hard time now getting yearling
lambs, as they are not on the market.
St. L o u is .—Flour has this day declined 50 cents on the barrel, but my prices
decline the following day. Sugar has advanced, but my price is the same, on account
of large supplies on hand.
S alt L a k e Ci t y .—Wholesale price advanced 5 cents on mutton, yearling. Market
short of old potatoes.

BREAD WEIGHTS.

This report shows, together with prices, the scaling weight (weight
of dough before baking), in ounces, of the principal brands of baker’s
wheat bread as reported by representative bakeries in each of the
cities on the 15th of each month, January to June, 1915, and for com­
parative purposes for the corresponding dates of 1914, where avail­
able. Comparisons of weights on June 15, 1915, and on June 15,
1914, are available for 260 brands, and of that number the weight of
1 brand was heavier on June 15, 1915, than on the corresponding
date in 1914, the weight of 22 brands was unchanged, and the weight
of 237 brands was lighter.
The weights of wheat bread, shown in General Table II of this
report, were reported from representative bakeries in each city. In
order to avoid identification, names of firms and brands are not dis­
closed, but each firm has been given a number and each brand re­
ported by a firm has been designated by a letter.
The following remarks accompanied bakers' reports of bread
weights during the first six months of 1915:

COAL.

Retail prices of coal for household use have been 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. Data showing retail prices of coal for the years prior
to 1914 will include quotations for January 15 and July 15 only.
The table which follows gives, for each of the geographical divi­
sions, the per cent of increase or decrease in the price of coal from
January 15, 1914, to January 15, 1915. Three kinds of coal are
-included—Pennsylvania anthracite white ash, stove size; Pennsyl­
vania anthracite white ash, chestnut size; and bituminous. The
comparisons are of coal for household use and sold in ton lots. Gen­
eral Table IV shows actual prices of the three classes of coal above
named in ton lots and in half-ton lots.

GAS.

The price of gas 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
April 15, 1915, and for purposes of comparison prices on October 15,
1914, are also given. Prices for April 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 3 companies in one city.
But one company reported a change in price between October 15,
1914, and April 15, 1915, as follows: Portland, Oreg., from $0.90 to
$0,886 for manufactured gas.
The net price per 1,000 cubic feet charged on October 15, 1914, and
on April 15, 1915, by each of the companies reporting is shown in the

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

SCOPE OF STUDY AND METHOD OF OBTAINING PRICES.

This report presents for each of 45 of the most important indus­
trial cities in the various sections of the United States the retail
prices of the principal articles of food, the weight and price of the
principal brands of wheat bread, the retail price of anthracite and
bituminous coal, the net price of gas for household use, and the
retail prices of eight articles of dry goods. The retail prices of food
in Charleston, W. Va., and Springfield, 111., as shown in this report,
begin with May 15, 1914, the prices in Schenectady, N. Y.,
begin with June 15, 1914, the prices for El Paso, Tex., begin with
November 15, 1914, and the prices for Butte, Mont., begin with
January 15, 1915. No prices for coal were secured for Charleston,
W. Va., for the reason that for family consumption natural gas is
used to the exclusion of coal. Quotations on dry goods are shown
for May 15 only, but quotations will be secured for May 15 and
October 15 of each year beginning with 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
reporting prices. Ninety-five out of a possible 100 per cent of
reports for January to June, 1915, from retail merchants, dairymen,
and bakers were received. A large number of firms have not re­
quired 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, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Manchester, Newark, Provi­
dence, Schenectady, 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 45 cities included in this report are important industrial cities,
representing 34 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, seven smaller cities were included as
being industrially important in those sections. The seven cities are
Butte, Mont.; Charleston, W. Va.; El Paso, Tex.; Fall River, Mass.;
Schenectady, N. Y .; Scranton, Pa.; and Springfield, 111. Within the
45 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.

FOOD.

The present report gives retail prices of the principal articles of
food in 45 industrial cities in the United States for January to June,
1915, and for comparative purposes the prices on the corresponding
dates of 1914. Summaries are also presented covering the eight and
one-half years from 1907 to June 1915, inclusive.1
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 “ dowii-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 very 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,
market conditions, and freight rates vary greatly. For almost every
article it is absolutely impossible to quote prices on an identical
grade throughout the 45 cities, as the grade varies not only from city
to city but also from firm to firm within the same city, and even
varies to some extent from month to month within the same store.
Stores which vary in a marked degree the grade of articles handled
from day to day or from month to month have not been included, but
in every store there is necessarily some variation in grade. This
variation is usually more marked in fresh meats and eggs than in
other articles.
Brief descriptions of the articles and the necessary explanations
concerning each article are here presented.
Fresh beef.

In the present report prices are quoted for 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.
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.




RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO JUNE, 1915.

27

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. EL,
Philadelphia, Pa., and Providence, R. I., no cut corresponds to the
cut known as sirloin in other cities. In these four cities the cut
known as sirloin corresponds to the cut described above as porter­
house, and in this report the quotations of prices for the cities just
named are for the cut known locally as sirloin. The cut commonly
known as sirloin is sold in Fall River, Mass., under the name of
“ rump” steak, and in this report the prices quoted for that city are
for the article known locally as “ rump” steak.
The round of beef is separated at the hip joint into the rump and
the round*. The rump has part of the hip bone in it and is called
rump, bouillon, or butchers’ roast.
The round has the leg bone in it. The great majority of the prices
quoted for round steak are for “ whole” round; that is, for a cut that
includes the top round, bottom round, and bone. Quotations from
a few firms are for “ top round, bone out,” or “ top round, bone in.”
Top round is cut from the inside of the leg or round and extends about
half through the round to the leg bone and to the tissue or membrane
which marks the natural division between the inside and outside of
the leg. The inside is tender, .while the outside is muscular and more
or less tough. Some firms cut the top round to include the leg bone
and a small part of the bottom round. Firms that sell top round
usually sell the bottom or outside for pot roast or Hamburg steak.
In many cities no bone or fat is trimmed from either sirloin or
round steak before weighing, while in others some bone and fat or
all bone and fat are cut off before steaks are weighed.
Fore quarters include ribs, chucks, plates, and shanks. The shank
is removed by cutting through the shoulder joint or by sawing through




28

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

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” 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 45 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.
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.




RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO JUNE, 1915.

29

The prices quoted are in most cases for bacon sliced when sold, but
in a number of cities some of the dealers sell relatively little sliced
bacon and therefore have quoted bacon by the piece and have reported
the usual range of weight of such pieces.
Prices are quoted on the pound basis, but many sales axe 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.

AH quotations are for “ pure” lard with the exception of a few for
“ pure leaf.” No “ compound” lard is quoted. The great majority
of quotations are for “ tub” lard (lard sold in bulk). Some quota­
tions, however, are for lard in pails. Tub lard is quoted by the
pound. In many cases tub lard is customarily sold in quantities of
2 or more pounds, and in all such cases the price quoted in this report
is reduced to the pound basis. Where lard is sold by the pail, the
price is quoted per pail, the net weight being given in each case.
Leg of 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, th.Q age varies considerably with different seasons of the
year, no “ relative” prices are computed for this article in the report
of the bureau.
Hens.

Prices are quoted for “ hens” at least a year old, such as are usually
sold for roasting or stewing, and in some cities for stewing only.
In some localities the term used for these hens is either “ fowls/’
“ stewing,” or “ fricassee” chickens.




30

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

The quotations are in most cases for “ dressed” hens, although a
few dealers reported prices for “ live” hens.. Dressed hens are
described as “ drawn” or “ not drawn.” In a few cities hens are
sold “ full dressed” ; that is, drawn and with head and feet off.
Throughout all cities reporting, the basis of sale is 1 pound.
Flour, wheat.

Flour is quoted by the eighth-barrel bag for about 30 of the cities,
by the eighth-barrel bag with a few firms quoting fourth-barrel bags
in a few cities, by the fourth-barrel bag with an occasional firm
quoting half-barrel bags for some of the Pacific coast cities, by the
20-pound bag by two firms in Indianapolis, and by the sixteenthbarrel bag from an occasional firm in a few of the cities. The weight
of the various-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 24J pounds.
These weights are in some instances net and in others gross. Great
quantities of flour are sold in sixteenth and in thirty-second barrel
bags, particularly in the eastern cities, but the eighth-barrel bag is a
very popular size in most of the cities for which prices were secured,
and for ready comparison that size has been quoted where possible.
In a few of the cities the price of flour is “ protected” ; that is, the
flour manufacturer fixes a minimum selling price for the retailer.
The quotations from each firm are for a definite brand, or brands
of equivalent grade, throughout the period for which prices are
quoted, except as indicated. The name of the brand quoted has
been entered in connection with the price. Where a merchant has
quoted a brand manufactured especially for his trade or which car­
ries his firm name the flour has been entered as “ special brand,” in
order not to disclose the identity of the firm furnishing information
to the bureau.
Corn meal.

The corn meal for which prices are given is bulk or bag meal, and
not fancy meal in cartons or packages except in a few cities where
the bulk of sales are of package meal. The color of the meal han­
dled varies, generally speaking, according to the locality, yellow
being sold as a rule in cities of the North, white in southern cities,
and both white and yellow in Denver, Salt Lake City, and the cities
on the Pacific coast.
The price of corn meal is quoted in this report on a 1-pound basis.
These figures have been derived from the price charged by the
dealer for the quantity of corn meal most in demand among his cus­
tomers and represent a great variety of units of sale. In New Eng­
land and other northern cities the amounts sold are usually small,
being as a rule from 2 to 5 pounds, the 5 cents’ worth, or the 10



RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO JUNE, 1915.

31

cents’ worth. In most southern cities sales of 10 pounds or more
predominate, while in the cities of the far West reports on any other
unit than 10 pounds are exceptional.
Eggs.

Prices of eggs are reported from grocery stores with the exception
of a few instances in which quotations have been secured from dairy
firms. The prices quoted are for “ strictly fresh” eggs of the highest
grade handled by the firm on the date of each quotation, excluding
fancy eggs or eggs selected for size and color, Many of the firms
represented in this study carry both fresh and storage eggs whenever
both are on the market, and some firms at certain seasons do not
carry any “ strictly fresh” eggs. The trade terms used to describe
the eggs for which quotations are given vary with the locality. On
the Atlantic coast, for example, common descriptive terms are
“ near-by,” “ State,” “ eastern,” and “ western” ; in the Middle West,
“ near-by” and “ country” ; in certain southern cities, “ near-by”
and “ Tennessee” ; and on the Pacific coast, “ ranch” and “ eastern,
fresh.”
Some quotations for “ storage” eggs were secured for the period
1907 to 1911, but the number was insufficient for purposes of publi­
cation. Prices were quoted in Bulletin No. 106, Part II, for storage
eggs for the months of January and February, 1912, and in the suc­
ceeding bulletins covering the months of January and February and
November and December of each year, prices for storage eggs are
quoted. Some few firms quoted storage eggs for the spring, summer,
and fall months, but those quotations were not entered in the reports,
as it appeared that in some cases, at least, the article quoted as “ stor­
age” during the spring months was eggs “ iced in transit” and not
eggs that had been in storage. No relative prices have been com­
puted for storage eggs.
All prices in the table are quoted on the dozen basis, and in most
cities included in this study the dozen is the only unit of sale of impor­
tance. In New York City, however, purchases by the 25 cents’ worth
are common, and in the Pacific coast cities two dozen becomes at
times the prevailing unit of sale, owing to the fact that it is a common
practice to make a special rate on this quantity (as, for example, 65
cents per two dozen when the price is 35 cents per dozen). In such
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.




32

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

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.
Potatoes.

All quotations for potatoes are for the article known in many
localities as “ Irish” potatoes, which signifies the “ white” potato in
contradistinction to the “ sweet.” The extensive variety of Irish
potatoes on the market and the fact that retailers do not confine
their buying to one variety have made it impracticable to quote vari­
eties or grades.
New potatoes have been quoted only when they form the bulk
of the sales. This is usually when new potatoes grown in or near
the locality are plentiful, as the price of new potatoes shipped from
a distance is generally prohibitive to the mass of trade in the stores
reporting.
The peck, or a fractional part of a peck, is the unit of sale for
practically all eastern cities except New York. In the West potatoes
are sold by weight, using the 100-pound lot as a basis. In the west­
ern cities reporting there is a demand during the summer for smaller
quantities than the 100-pound lot, which results in sales of 25 cents’ ,
50 cents’, and 1 dollar’s worth.
In New York the unit of sale for Irish potatoes varies materially
from store to store, and also in some cases from month to month
within the same store. For example, in New York the amount sold
for a quart varies from 2\ to 4 pounds, and within the same store
the number of pounds of new potatoes sold for a quart is generally
less than the number of pounds of old potatoes sold for a quart.
Prices for New York, except when quoted by the peck, are reduced
to a pound basis, but the usual unit of sale is also shown for each
store.
Sugar.

All quotations are for granulated sugar and are on a pound basis.
These prices per pound in most cases have been derived from prices
as reported by the dealers on the quantities most in demand. Such
quantities vary in the cities represented. The common units of
sale in most cities are 25-cent, 50-cent, and $1 lots. In certain
cities, notably New York and Philadelphia, smaller quantities are
reported as the usual units of sale.



RETAIL PBICES, 1907 TO JUNE, 1915.

33

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.
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.
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.
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.

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
Canned goods.

Quotations on canned goods 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 disclose 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 which quotations can be secured from month
to month.
Prices are usually for a single-can sale, except where two-can or
three-can sales predominate in family trade.
The net weights of the canned goods covered by this report are as
follows:
Com.—The net weight of canned com is usually 20 ounces, but
the weight published on the label varies and is therefore entered in
connection with the price.
Peas.—Prices are reported on peas in cans of three sizes, the net
weights of which are usually 20, 15, and 11 ounces, respectively.
However, the weights published on the labels vary on the 20-ounce
can from 18 to 22 ounces, and on the 11-ounce can from 10 to 12
ounces. The weights given on the cans are entered in connection with
the prices.
Tomatoes.—Canned tomatoes come in various-sized cans, and
quotations are given on the sizes most sold in stores reporting prices.
The popular size can is No. 3, which varies in weight from 2 pounds to
2 pounds 5 ounces. A few quotations are given on smaller cans.
The net weight as printed on the label is entered in connection with
the price.
Salmon.—Canned salmon comes in two-sized cans, large and small.
The net weight of the large can is usually 15 to 16 ounces 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.
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.



RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO JUN E, 1915.

35

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.
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.
As the size of the oranges sold frequently changes even within
the same store, the size has been entered in connection with each
quotation. All quotations are on the basis of 1 dozen.
Mflk.

All quotations are by the quart and are for milk regularly delivered
to customers.
In connection with each quotation is a statement as to whether the
milk is sold bottled or dipped from the can as sold, and also a state­
ment indicating whether th# 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 cases
a certain number of tickets, each exchangeable for 1 quart of milk, is
sold for $1, usually with a slight gain to the consumer. Thus, if milk
is 9 cents per quart, 12 tickets may be sold for $1. Some of the
dairies in the Pacific coast cities charge a definite sum monthly for a
quart of milk each day, the price being the same for each calendar
month.
BREAD WEIGHTS.

The weights of wheat bread, tabulated separately by cities, firms,
and brands, are the weights at which the respective breads were
scaled on the 15th of each month from January to June, 1915, and




36

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

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 the scaled weight to the
weight of the bread when it passes over the retailer’s counter were
found to be such that it was impossible to do so. The loss of weight
in baking varies with the formula, with the style of loaf, and with the
temperature of the oven. A further element of 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 final sale to the con­
sumer, the loss by evaporation also being partly determined by the
conditions under which the bread is kept and by the state of the
atmosphere.
The customary loss in baking is variously estimated, by bakers,
but it may be said that a loaf scaled at 18 ounces will, when sold, if
handled under ordinary conditions, weigh not far from 16 ounces, and
a loaf scaled at 16 ounces will, when baked and cooled, weigh about
14 J ounces. As noted above, however, the range of loss varies
widely.
From General Table II of this report for each city all fancy, special,
graham, rye, and restaurant breads are excluded. All wapped and
so-called “ French” breads are so designated.
In tho use of these data it must be borne clearly in mind that
weight is only one factor entering into the bread question as an
element in the study of prices. The quality of materials used varies
widely and is likely to be reflected in the weight at which the loaf is
scaled.
It is hoped that at some future time it may be possible to present
baked weights as well as scaled weights; but, as already explained,
this was impracticable in the present report.
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.
COAL.

This report shows the increase in retail prices of coal during the
period since 1907 and gives actual prices of coal on January 15, 1915.
For comparative purposes prices are also entered for the correspond­
ing date in 1914. Tho 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. Prices are



RETAIL PRICES, 190*7 TO JUNE, 1915.

37

quoted for sales ‘ ‘in ton lots” and “ in half-ton lots.” The prices
were quoted by coal dealers who supplied the information at the
request of the bureau. In some cities practically all sales for house­
hold use were of anthracite coal and in other cities of bituminous coal.
Bituminous coal is reported only for cities in which there is consider­
able demand for bituminous for household use. The coal dealers in
each city were asked to quote prices on the kind of bituminous coal
usually sold for household use. The prices quoted are for coal de­
livered to consumers, but do not include charges for storing the coal
in cellar or coal bin where an extra handling was necessary, except as
noted in connection with the price quotation.1
GAS.

This report gives prices of gas for household use on April 15, 1915,
and for purposes of comparison the prices on October 15, 1914, the
date of the last previous report, have been entered. The prices
quoted are the net rates charged for gas for household use as dis­
tinguished from use by manufacturing plants and industrial estab­
lishments. Where a sliding scale of prices, based on amount con­
sumed, 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
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.2
DRY GOODS.

Beginning with this report prices are given of eight articles of dry
goods: calico, percale, apron gingham, dress gingham, muslin, sheet­
ing, sheets, and outing flannel. The prices shown are the retail prices
at which these articles were sold on the 15th of May, 1915, in the 45
cities covered by this report.
The merchants who kindly furnished the information for this re­
port were, in most instances, personally visited by agents of the bu­
reau, and the stores selected are large and representative department
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.
1 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, and 156.
2 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, and 156.




38

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS*.

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 wnich 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.
All quotations on piece goods are 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.
The bureau desires to publish prices on white wool flannel, such as
is used in making infants’ garments, also for wool serge and cotton
blankets. Quotations for May 15th have already been secured on
these articles, but it may be impossible to secure quotations on iden­
tical grades for future dates, owing to the fact that the same varieties
may not be carried from year to year by the same firms, For this
reason quotations on these three articles will not be published until
a later date, if at all.
Some inquiries were made in regard to woolen blankets, but as few
quotations could be furnished on the same grade of blankets from
year to' year and as the price of the strictly all-wool blankets is pro­
hibitive to medium trade, the bureau did not request prices on this
article for the report.
An effort was made by the bureau to secure quotations on shoes,
but as the fashions in shoes change so frequently that only a few
styles remain the same from year to year, and as the varieties which
remain fixed as to style may change in quality, it was found to be
impossible to secure quotations showing an accurate trend of-prices
except on a few high-priced shoes which are not used to any extent
by medium trade.
The bureau also made inquiry in regard to retail prices of knit
underwear and hosiery, but owing to frequent changes in styles,
quality, and weave, it was found impossible to follow any varieties.
EXPLANATION OF TABLES.

This report includes five general tables, as follows:
Table I.—Retail prices of the principal articles of food on the 15th
of each month, January to June, 1914, and January to June 1915,
by cities and by firms.
Table II.—Bread weights: Scaling weight (weight of dough before
baking), in ounces, of the principal brands of wheat bread on the 15th

of each, mouth, January to June, 1914, and January to June, 1915,
by cities and by firms and brands.
Table III.—Relative retail prices of the principal articles of food,
1907 to June, 1915, by geographical divisions.
Table IV.—Retail prices of coal, for household use, on January
15, 1914, and January 15, 1915, by cities and by firms.
Table V.—Retail prices of eight articles of dry goods on May 15,
1915, by cities and by firms.
Table 7.—Retail 'prices o f the 'principal articles o f food on the 15th
o f each month, January to June, 1914, and January to June, 1915,
by cities and byfirms (pp. 4® to 323).—This table includes 45 of the most
important industrial cities in the various sections of the United
States. For each city prices are quoted for 32 principal articles of
food. Prices are quoted for the 15th of each month, January to
June, 1915, and for comparative purposes prices on the correspond­
ing 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 45 cities are arranged in alphabetical order, and under the
various cities the articles follow a uniform order, beginning with
fresh meats. Quotations for plate boiling beef from January, 1912,
to December, 1914, will be found in the appendix, pages 397 to 413.
The particular grade or description of each article is shown in con­
nection with the price quotations. Great care was taken to secure
prices throughout the period covered for an article of as nearly uni­
form 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 December, 1914.
Fifteen 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 cheese, rice, beans, coffee,
tea, canned com, canned peas, canned tomatoes, canned salmon,
onions, prunes, raisins, and oranges.
Table II.—Bread weights: Scaling weight (weight of dough before
baking), in ounces, of the principal brands of wheat bread on the 15th
of each month, January to June, 1914, and January to June, 1915, by
cities and by firms and brands (pp. 324 to 334)-—This table shows the
scaling weight, in ounces, of the principal brands of wheat bread in
the cities covered by this report. The weights are quoted for the
15th of each month, January to June, 1915, and for comparative
purposes weights on the corresponding dates in 1914 have been



40

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

entered where available. When the 15th fell on Sunday or on a
holiday, the weights quoted were for the 16th of the month.
Weight quotations were secured from several representative
bakeries in each city. In order to avoid identification, names of
firms and brands are not shown, but each firm has been given a num­
ber and each brand reported by a firm has been designated by a
letter.
Table 111.—Relative retail prices of the principal articles of food, 1907
to June, 1915, by geographical divisions (pp. 835 to 850).—This table
shows for each of 17 principal articles of food the relative price for
each year from 1907 to June, 1915, inclusive, and for each month
from January, 1912, to June, 1915. Relative prices are not shown
for chuck roast and plate boiling beef previous to January, 1914, and
relative prices for leg of lamb, storage eggs, and cheese, rice, beans,
coffee, tea, canned com, canned peas, canned tomatoes, canned
salmon, onions, prunes, raisins and oranges are not included in this
table. The reasons are stated on page 5.
As explained on a previous page, a relative price of any article is
the per cent which the price of that article at any certain date is of
the price of the same article at a date or period which has been
selected as the base or standard.
The base selected for this compilation of retail prices is the average
price for 1914.
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
formerly quoted, equally well represents the trend of the general
market.
The many changes in firms furnishing prices and also the changes
in grades and brands of articles make several steps necessary in
order to arrive at the relative price of an article for a geographical
division or for the United States. The methods followed in this
report are fully explained in Appendix A, Bulletin No. 156.
Table IV.—Retail prices of coal, for household use, on January 15,
1914, and January 15,1915, by cities and byfirms (pp. 351 to 367).—This
table shows prices of coal in the cities for which retail prices of food
are shown. Prices are quoted for Pennsylvania anthracite coal,
stove size, Pennsylvania anthracite coal, chestnut cize, and bitumi­
nous coal for January 15, 1915, and for comparative purposes prices
on the corresponding dates in 1914 have been entered. In some
cities practically no bituminous coal is used for household purposes,



RETAIL PRICES, 1907 TO JUKE, 1915.

41

and in others practically no Pennsylvania anthracite coal is used.
Bituminous coal is reported only for cities in which there is consid­
erable 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 V.—Retail prices of 8 articles of dry goods on May 15, 1915,
by cities and by firms (pp. 368 to 395).—This table shows the prices of
8 articles of dry goods in the 45 cities covered by this report. Quota­
tions are given for May 15, 1915, only, but quotations for October 15,
1915, will be included in the next bulletin on retail prices issued by
the bureau, and succeeding bulletins will contain prices on these two
dates for following years.
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 is
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
each firm has been given a number which will enable one to follow
the prices quoted from time to time.
