JUNE, 1922
RETAIL PRICES, 1913 TO DECEMBER, 1922.
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY.
Although prices for the United States are given in this bulletin by
years as early as 1890, prices for individual cities are shown only for
1922.
As the year 1913 is the base for the computation of all the relative
figures and index numbers printed in this bulletin, average prices for
that year are shown for each city in addition to the average prices for
1922.
Average prices for individual cities from 1913 to 1921 are published
in Bulletins Nos. 270, 300, and 315 of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The trend in the retail cost of all articles of food combined shows a
decrease of 8 per cent for the year 1922 as compared with the cost in
1921. The retail prices of coal in December, 1922, as compared with
December, 1921, show an increase of 3 per cent for anthracite and 9
per cent for bituminous. The retail prices of dry goods for 1922 show
that most of the 10 articles for which prices are secured were highest
in December. Prices of electricity for household use are shown for 32
cities for specified months from 1914 to 1922. In the cities having a
sliding scale based on consumption, changes are shown both for the
quantities charged for at each rate and for the change in price. The
peak price for gas reached in May, 1921, was 39 per cent above the
price m April, 1913. In December, 1922, the price had decreased 4
per cent from the peak.

MONTHLY AND YEARLY PRICE CHANCES IN THE UNITED STATES, 1913 TO 1922.
The retail price movement during the period 1913 to 1922 for the
United States is shown in Tables 1, 2, and A, and in Charts 1 to 25,
27, and 28.1 Charts have been constructed only for the 23 articles of
food shown in Table A for which monthly prices have been secured
since January, 1913. Average money prices are also given in Table A
for each of 21 other food articles for which prices were not obtained as
early as 1913. These are shown from the months when first secured
up to. and including December, 1922.

The tables and charts showing several or all of the articles of food
combined are made from weighted aggregates of actual money prices
in order that each commodity may have an influence equal only to its
relative importance in the consumption of the average family, as
ascertained in the investigation of 1901. The average price per unit
of each commodity for each month has been multiplied by the num
ber of units of that commodity consumed annually by tile average
family. These products have been added, giving an aggregate or
total cost. From January, 1913, to December, 1920, 22 articles of
food were used. The aggregates for each month and for each year,
1913 to 1920, have been divided by the aggregate for 1913, giving a
series of percentages which show the percentage change in the retail
cost of these food commodities on the basis of 1913 equals 100 per
cent. These percentages showing changes in the cost of a group of
commodities are called index numbers. Beginning with January,
1921, 43 articles have been used in computing the cost of food.
The change in the cost of the 43 articles between December, 1920, and
each month of 1921, has been found, and this percentage of change
has been applied to the index number for December, 1920, as based on
22 articles. This preserves the continuity of the index number,
although the number of articles on which it is based have been
increased, and the weighting of each article changed to the quantity
of consumption ascertained in the investigation of 1918-19.

. SUMMARY OF PRICE'CHANGES.
3
products thus obtained for each month represents what the average
family would spend for a year’s supply of these foods if purchased at
the retail prices of each specified month. For example, the average
price of sinoin steak in December, 1920, was 39.7 cents. The annual
amount of sirloin steak consumed by the average family was 70 pounds.
Multiplying 39.7 cents by 70 gives $27.79, which represents the amount
spent for sirloin steak in a year, if the year’s supply had been bought
in December. By a similar process the amount spent in December
for each of the other articles was computed. These products have
then been added and the total obtained represents the cost of a year’s
supply of these 22 food articles if bought in December, 1920. For
purposes of comparison, the consumption of these articles is assumed
to remain the same for the entire period 1913 to 1920, and by a process
similar to that illustrated for December, 1920, the expenditure of the
average family has been computed for each month. The totals
obtained for each month have been divided by $343.94, the average
cost of these 22 articles for the United States m the year 1913. For
example, the total for December, 1920, was $611.69, which divided by
$343.94 gives 177.85 per cent. This number 177.85 represents the
relation between the cost in December, 1920, and the average cost for
the year 1913, and shows an increase, in whole numbers, of 78 per cent
in the cost in December as compared with the average cost for the
year 1913. Thus the ratio of the year 1913 to the month of December,
1920, is 100 to 178, which two numbers (100 and 178) are called index
numbers.
Beginning with January, 1921, 43 articles of food 4 have been used
in determining the average family expenditure. The method of
computing the cost of a year’s supply for 43 articles of food is the same
as that shown above for the 22 articles. The quantities of each of
these 43 articles of food consumed by the average family were ascer
tained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in an investigation conducted
in 1918-19.
The following method has been used in computing index numbers
for each month and for the years 1921 and 1922. It was assumed that
the total cost of the 43 articles would have shown the same percentage
of change from 1913 to December, 1920, as was shown oy the 22
articles. Therefore, the index number for the 22 articles in Decem
ber, 1920, was accepted as the index number for the 43 articles. The
money cost of 43 articles in December, 1920, was $461.51. The ratio
of the money cost to the relative cost was 177.85 to $461.51, or 0.3854.
The actual money cost of the market basket of 43 articles for each
month has then been multiplied by 0.3854 and index numbers
obtained which are comparable with the index numbers obtained for
months prior to January, 1921, on 22 articles.
As will be seen in Table 1 and in Chart 1, the retail cost of all articles
of food, combined, reached the peak in July, 1920. In December,
1922, the cost of these articles had decreased 33 per cent from the

RETAIL PRICES, 1913 TO DECEMBER, 1922.
Cereals, m eats, and dairy products.
Table 2 shows the trend in the retail cost of three groups of food
commodities— cereals, meats, and dairy products. From January,
1913, to December, 1920, inclusive, these groups have been com
posed of articles selected from the 22 foods5 for which the bureau
had figures showing the average family consumption. For the
months of 1921 and 1922 these groups include all of the articles pre
viously used, and 6 additional articles.6
The average price for each article has been multiplied by the
figure representing the proportion that that food bears to the total
food budget. The products thus obtained for the several commodijties within each group have been totaled, and from these totals index
numbers have been computed, using the totals of the year 1913 as
the base, or 100.
For the period 1913 to 1920 the weights have been those of the
'1901 investigation of this bureau, and for 1921 and 1922 the weights
have been those of the 1918 investigation. Although beginning
with January, 1921, the number of articles in each group have been
increased and different consumption figures used, the index numbers
for each group have been so computed as to be comparable with
index numbers from January, 1913, to December, 1920. The method
employed in determining the cost of these groups of food makes the
percentage changes in each group comparable with those in each
other group.
The articles within these groups are as follows:
Cereals.—Bread, flour, corn meal, rice, rolled oats, corn flakes,
Cream of Wheat, and marcaroni.
Meats.—Sirloin steak, round steak, rib roast, chuck roast, plate
beef, pork chops, bacon, ham, hens, and leg of lamb.
Dairy products.—Butter, cheese, fresh milk, and evaporated milk.
The percentage changes in the cost of these three groups of food
are shown in graphic form in Chart 2.
6 See footnote 2 on p . 2.
6 T h e six articles ad d ed t o these groups in 1921 are leg of la m b , evaporated m ilk , rolled oats, c o m flakes,
C rea m o f W h e a t , a n d m acaroni.

SUMMARY OF PRICE CHANGES.

Sirloin steak, round steak, rib roast, chuck roast, and plate beef•
With the exception of plate beef the retail prices of these cuts of
beef show the same general trend in 1922. After a comparatively
steady increase for the first six months prices gradually declined to
December. The prices in December, 1922, as compared with Decem
ber, 1921, show the following increases: Sirloin steak, 4 per cent; round
steak, 2 per cent; rib roast, 2 per cent; and chuck roast, 1 per cent.
The trend in the retail price of plate beef shows very little change
during the year. The price in December, 1922, as compared with
December, 1921, shows a decrease of 1 per cent.
Charts 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 show the monthly trend in the retail prices
of sirloin steak, round steak, rib roast, chuck roast, and plate beef
since 1913. The relative figures from which these charts nave been
drawn appear in Table A.
Pork chops, bacon, ham, and lard.
The trend in the price of pork chops for 1922 shows the normal
seasonal fluctuations. From October, when the highest price of the
year was reached, there was a rapid decline, the price in December
being 3 per cent lower than in December, 1921. The average price
for the year, 1922, was 5 per cent lower than the average price for the
year 1921.
’ The trend in the price of ham for 1922 shows a wider range than
does the trend in the price of bacon. The prices for both were lowest
in January.
The increase from January to the highest price of the year was 18
per cent for ham and 9 per cent for bacon.
The average price for the year 1922, as compared with the average
for 1921, showed no change in the price of ham, while bacon showed
a decrease of 7 per cent.
The trend in the price of lard showed less variation in price than in
any year since 1915 excepting 1918. The prices in 1918 were approxi
mately 111 per cent higher than in 1913, while those in 1922 were
only 8 per cent higher than in 1913.
Charts 8, 9, 10, and 11 show the monthly trend in the retail prices
of pork chops, bacon, ham, and lard since 1913. The relative figures
from which these charts have been drawn appear in Table A.
Leg o f lamb.
The average retail price of lamb for the year 1922 shows an increase
of 9 per cent over the average for 1921. This is the only article for
which prices have been secured since 1913 showing an increase in
1922 over the preceding year. During the 10-year period the average
price of only one year— 1920, the year of the peak—shows a higher
average price than is shown for 1922.
Chart 12 shows the monthly trend in the retail price of leg of lamb
since 1913. The relative figures from which this chart has been
drawn appear in Table A.
Hens.
The trend in the price of hens in 1922 has shown a comparatively
steady decline, the average price for the year being 9 per cent lower
than the average price for 1921.
Chart 13 shows the monthly trend in the retail price of hens since
1913. The relative figures from which this chart has been drawn
appear in Table A.

RETAIL PRICES, 1913 TO DECEMBER, 1922.

The retail price of corn meal decreased steadily and rapidly from
the fall of 1920 to January, 1922, after which there was very little
change. The average price in 1922 was 13 per cent lower than the
average price in 1921.

is always a great difference in the price of old and new potatoes.

lower than the average price for 1921. In December, 1922, the

M O N T H L Y A N D Y E A R L Y P R IC E C H A N G E S , B Y C IT IE S , 1913 TO 1922.
The trend in the retail cost oh food from January, 1913, to Decem
ber, 1922, is shown for each of 39 cities 7 in Table 3 (pp. 36 to 43).
Index numbers showing the trend in the cost of all articles of food
combined are not shown for 12 other cities for which prices are shown
in Table B because prices were first secured from these cities on dif
ferent dates later than 1913.7 These index numbers are obtained by
the same method as that explained for the United States, on page 2.
In Table 4, which follows, the average expenditure for each city in
1913 has been taken as the base for that city. B y subtracting 100
from the index numbers in any month, the percentage increase since
1913 may be obtained for any city. For example, the index number
for Atlanta for December, 1922, was 144. Therefore, the percentage
increase in the retail cost of all food articles combined, in Atlanta, m
December, 1922, as compared with the average cost in the year 1913,
was 44 per cent. If the index number is less than 100, the percent
age decrease since 1913 is found by subtracting the index number
from 100. Should the percentage change as compared with some
other date than the year 1913 be desired, it is necessary to divide the
index number for the date compared by the index number of the
base selected and then subtract 100 from the result, or, if the result
is less than 100, subtract the result from 100.
Charts 26 and 27 show how nearly the percentage changes in the
retail cost of food in the different sections of the country have fol
lowed the same general trend.*

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 semi
annually, on January 15 and July 15 until in 1920, when prices
were secured monthly, beginning with June.
Table 7 gives, for the United States as a whole, average and
relative prices of Pennsylvania white ash anthracite coal, both in
stove and chestnut sizes, and of bituminous coal on January 15 and
July 15 of each year, 1913 to 1919, and on January 15, 1920, and on
the fifteenth of each month from June, 1920, to December, 1922.
From the prices quoted in the various cities averages have been made
for the United States. The prices given for the United States
are based on the ton of 2,000 pounds. In those cities where the
rices were quoted on other than the 2,000-pound ton these prices
ave been converted to the 2,000-pound base and included in the
averages. All coals included in the averages have been those used
for household purposes. The relative figures have been determined
by the following method: From the prices of each kind of coal in
January and July of the year 1913 an average has been made. The
average prices in January and July of eacn year have then been
divided by the average price for 1913.

Previous to 1916 prices were secured from gas companies on
April 15 and October 15 of each year. Prom 1916 to 1920 prices
were secured but once a year, on April 15, and for purposes o f com
parison only the April prices are shown for the years 1907 to 1920.
For 1921 prices have been secured on May 15, September 15, and
December 15, and for 1922 on March 15, June 15, September 15, and
December 15.
Table 8 gives average and relative prices of manufactured gas for
33 cities, taken collectively, on April 15 of each year from 1907 to
1912, and for 43 cities, taken collectively, on April 15 of each year
1913 to 1920, and the 15th of each specified month in 1921 and 1922.
For the determination of the relative figures, each of the average
prices from 1907 to 1922 has been divided by the average price in
April, 1913. As may be seen in the table the average price of manu
factured gas was higher from 1907 to 1910 than it was in 1913. In
1911 and from 1914 to 1917 the price was lower than it was in 1913.
Beginning with April, 1918, there was a steady increase, to the
peak shown in May, 1921. The price in May, 1921, was 39 per cent
higher than in April, 1913. In December, 1922, the price was 34 per
cent higher than in April, 1913.

prices for food are scheduled. In most of the cities represented there
is only one gas company, but in Boston, New York, Pittsburgh,
Scranton, and Washington, where there is more than one firm, an
average price has been computed. Prices are shown for manufac
tured and natural gas and for manufactured and natural gas, mixed.
Table E (p. 163) shows the average net prices for the first 1,000
cubic feet o f gas for household use on April 15 of each year, 1907 to
1920, and the 15th of each specified month in 1921 and 1922, by cities.
Prices of gas by cities are shown in this bulletin for the years 1907
to 1922, in order that the trend in prices may be followed for the
entire period for which prices have been secured.

1922.
Since 1915, when a city has been added to the list of cities report
ing prices of food, prices of the 10 articles of dry goods specified
above have been secured from that city for the next reporting month
following the date when prices of food were secured.
As may be seen in Table F (pp. 164 to 166), prices of most of the
10 articles of dry goods were higher in August, 1920, than in any
other’month for which prices have been secured. For the year 1922,
the prices for most articles were highest in December.

Retail prices are shown, therefore, for 39 cities from the beginning
of 1913 and for the remaining 12 cities from the dates above given.
Retail prices for electricity are shown for 19 cities beginning with
December, 1914, and for 13 cities beginning with December, 1917.
Prices for the other 19 cities have been secured for only a short time
and are not included in this bulletin.
FOOD.
Retail prices of food are secured from retail dealers through
monthly reports of actual selling prices on the 15th of each month.
The stores are selected by agents of the bureau from those patronized
by wage earners. Prices are secured from every type of store— the
neighborhood store, the down-town store, the department store, and
the chain store. Some of these stores are credit and delivery, some
cash and carry, and some cash and delivery. Effort is made to secure
quotations on similar grades of commodities in the different cities.
There are, however, some local customs which must be considered
when any comparison is made of the prices in the different cities.
For example, the method of cutting sirloin steak in Boston, Mass.,
Manchester, N . H ., Philadelphia, Pa., Providence, R. I., and Portland,
Me., differs from that in other cities. The cut known as ‘ ‘ sirloin” in
these five cities would be known in other cities as “ porterhouse.”
There is in these cities, owing to the methods of dividing the round
from the loin, no cut that corresponds to that of sirloin in the other
cities. There is also a greater amount of trimming demanded by the
retail trade in these cities than in others. This is particularly true
of Providence, R. I. Diagrams are given on pages 61 to 64 of this
bulletin which show the methods of cutting beef in New York, Provi
dence, Chicago, and New Orleans. In any comparison of prices in one
city with those in another, due consideration should be given to the
following facts:
1.
The trade demands and is furnished more expensive grades of
articles in some cities than in others.
, 2. The cities for which prices are shown in this report are widely
separated; some are in localities near the source of supply, while
others are a greater distance from it, making it necessary to include
in the prices a greater amount for transportation.
3.
Methods and costs of doing business vary greatly in different
localities, due to the demands of customers and to rentals, wages, and
other fixed charges or expenses.
The number of firms is apportioned according to the industrial
importance of each city. A t the present time for three cities, New
York, Chicago, and Philadelphia, there are 30 quotations secured for
each article of food, for the other larger cities, from 20 to 25 quota
tions, and for the smaller cities, from 10 to 15 quotations. The total
number of firms quoting prices on one or more articles of food is
approximately 2,000. Quite naturally firms are not constant, but
when one firm drops out permanently another firm, similar in kind, is
selected to replace it. Moreover, as the industrial section of a city
changes, firms are added or dropped to preserve the character of
price quotations.
58
RETAIL PRICES, 1913 TO DECEMBER, 1922.
A t the beginning of the year 1913, monthly prices were secured
from 39 cities 1 for each of 19 articles of food.1 Since 1913, the
0
1
number of commodities has been increased, as has been the number
of cities for which prices are quoted. Beginning with 1915, prices
were secured for nine additional articles— cheese, rice, coffee, tea,
salmon, onions, navy beans, prunes, and raisins. B y correspondence
with retail dealers and by personal visits of agents of the bureau,
monthly prices of cheese, rice, coffee, and tea for the years 1913 and
1914 have been secured from records. This gives a total of 23 arti
cles for which monthly prices have been secured from January, 1913,
to December, 1918. Beginning with January, 1919, monthly prices
were secured for 15 additional food articles.1 Prices on storage eggs
2
were secured only for January, February, November, and December
of each year until 1919, when prices were also secured for October.
Average monthly money prices for each of these articles, by cities,
have been computed from the individual firm quotations. From the
monthly averages yearly averages have been computed. Individual
firm quotations are not shown in this bulletin. Average money
prices for the United States have been computed from the prices as
reported to the bureau by retail dealers in 51 cities by dividing the
sum of all prices for each article by the total number of firms reporting
prices of each article.
Relative prices of 23 food articles, obtained by comparing the
prices in each month from January, 1913, to December, 1922, with
the average price in the year 1913, are shown, month by month, for
the United States. A comparison of the yearly average price of
each article with the average price in the year 1913 is also shown.
For each city average and relative prices are given in this bulletin for
each month of 1922 and for the year 1922 only.1
3
From the average retail prices of 22 articles of food,1 and the aver
4
age family consumption of each of these articles, an average family
expenditure has been computed for each month from January, 1913,
to December, 1920, by cities, and for the United States. Beginning
with January, 1921, 43 articles of food have been included in the
average family expenditure. Each article is weighted according to
its importance in the food consumption of the family. For each
city the average price of the unit of each article of food is multiplied
by the number of units consumed by the average family. The
products give the average expenditure for each article, and the sum
of these products gives the cost of the food market basket in the given
city. For the United States, an average price of each article is com
puted from the individual firm quotations in all the cities. The
average price of each article is then multiplied by the average con
sumption of each article in the United States. Weighting the food

lamb, hens, flour, corn meal, eggs, butter, milk, bread, potatoes, and sugar. The prices for 1913, however,
were not published for bread until the March, 1918, issue of the M onthly L a b or R e v ie w ; for lamb until
the August, 1918, issue of the M onthly L a b or R e v ie w ; for chuck roast and plate beef until the
March, 1919, issue of the M onthly L ab or R e v ie w .
12 Evaporated milk, oleomargarine, nut margarine, Crisco, rolled oats, corn flakes, Cream of Wheat,
macaroni, cabbage, baked beans, canned corn, canned peas, canned tomatoes, bananas, and oranges.

1921, in Bulletin No. 270, pp. 70 to 441, Bulletin No. 300, pp. 90 to 160, and Bulletin No. 315, pp. 97 to 167.
14 The following are tne 22 articles, weighted according to the consumption of the average family:
Sirloin steak, round steak, rib roast, chuck roast, plate boiling beef, pork chops, bacon, ham, lard, hens,
flour, corn meal, eggs, butter, milk, bread, potatoes, sugar, cheese, rice coffee, and tea. These are all the
articles, with the exception of lamb, for which monthly prices were secured m 1913. The bureau has no
figures which show the consumption of lamb.
SCOPE OF STUDY AND METHOD OF OBTAINING PRICES.
59
articles in this way according to the quantities consumed gives each
article its proper influence on the prices of food articles taken together.
Not only do foods vary in consequence in relation to each other in
each section, but they have a different significance in different sec
tions. For example, on account of the greater quantity of potatoes
consumed in the North Central section, a change m the price of pota
toes is of more consequence in that geographical section than in the
other sections.
For convenience, the 51 cities from which price quotations are
secured are grouped below by geographical sections.

1 In cities where most of the sales on bananas are by the pound rather than by the dozen, the weightings
as given in the above table have been multiplied by 3 and have then been applied to the prices on the pound.
B y giving to each article a weighting equal to its relative impor
tance in the consumption of the average familv, the total expenditure
for certain articles of food on a given date forms a proper basis of
comparison with the expenditure for the same articles of food on any
other date, and for the purpose of showing the movement in retail
prices it is assumed that this relative importance remained the same
through the whole period, 1913 to 1921. In this bulletin the average
family expenditure in each city in the year 1913 has been taken as
the base for that city, and index numbers have been computed for
each month, January, 1913, to December, 1922, and for each year,
1914 to 1922. These index numbers show the trend in the retail
cost of all foods combined in each individual city as compared with
the average cost in that city in the year 1913.
Below are given brief descriptions of the articles of food for which
prices are secured.
FRESH BEEF.
In this bulletin prices are given for the following five cuts of beef:
Sirloin steak, round steak, rib roast, chuck roast, and plate boiling
beef.
As previously stated, methods of cutting beef vary considerably in
different cities and affect retail prices. Prices are also affected by
the grade or quality of meat and by the custom of trimming bone
and i at from cuts before weighing. This custom varies from trimming
off almost all bone and fat in some cities to little or none in others
and gives a varying proportion of the side of beef which goes to the
consumer. The same name is often applied in different cities to
entirely different cuts. The bureau has been able to obtain diagrams
showing the specific methods of cutting beef by the New York style
and by the Providence, Chicago/and New Orleans styles, and these
diagrams are given in addition to the diagram which may be used
for general reference. As may be seen in the diagrams on pages 61
to 63, which show the methods of cutting beef in Chicago, New York,
and Providence, the cut known as trimmed steak or “ sirloin steak7
7
(numbers 3 and 4) in Providence is known in New York as u porter

'*3s of the New Orleans
method
manner of cutting the
shoulder. The shoulder is lifted from the carcass and cut into
steaks. This part of the carcass is designated by the term “ Seven
steaks,” on account of the shape of the shoulder blade, when cut.
Another feature is that in separating the sirloin from the round the
bone is followed. This gives a larger sirloin and smaller round than
in most cities.
A majority of the firms that furnish quotations for cuts, as quoted
in this report, buy meat by the whole, half, or quarter carcass.
Some of them also buy rounds, loins, or ribs of beef. These are
bought when there is a great demand for round, sirloin, or porter
house steak, or for prime rib roast, or when there is little demand for
cuts such as brisket, chuck, neck, and plate.
The carcass is divided into halves or sides by sawing and chopping
through the center of the backbone. The half or side is separated
into the hind quarter and the fore quarter by cutting through from
the belly between two ribs to and through the backbone. The cut
varies in different cities and may be between any two ribs from the
ninth to the thirteenth, or immediately after the thirteenth rib,
counting from the rib in the shoulder and brisket which corresponds
to the collar bone in the human being.
The hind quarter is usually separated into cuts, loin and round,
by cutting either as shown by the heavy line A B in the diagram or as
shown by the line X C B as shown in the general diagram on page 65.
Owing to the methods of quartering as described above, the loin
of beef in some cities has from one to four ribs in it. These ribs
are sold as roast or as porterhouse or club steak. If sold as steak
the ribs are usually removed before weighing.
The loin is cut into sirloin and porterhouse steaks and flank. The
cut commonly known as “ sirloin” steak, for which prices are quoted
in all except four cities, is cut parallel to the whole cut surface of the
thick or butt end of the loin and includes all cuts with any part of
the hip bone in them. These cuts are known as “ rump” steak in
Fall River, Mass. The other cuts of the loin of beef, those from the
small end next to the ribs, with no part of the hip bone in them,
are commonly known as “ porterhouse,” but in Boston, Mass., Man
chester, N. H ., Philadelphia, Pa., and Providence, R. I., these steaks
are cut obliquely, giving more meat surface than in perpendicular
cuts. They are called “ sirloin” steak, and the prices quoted for
these four cities are for these cuts. There is in these four cities, owing
to methods of dividing the round from the loin, no cut that corre
sponds to “ sirloin” in other cities.
The round of beef is divided into two cuts or pieces, round and
rump, as shown in the diagrams.
The round has the leg bone in it and consists of the round and the
shank. “ W hole” or “ top” round steaks are cut from the round.
Whole round steak is cut through parallel to the full cut surface of
round and includes top round, bottom round, and a cut of the leg
bone of the thickness of the steak.'
Top round is a cut from the inside of the leg. It extends through
.to the leg bone and to the tissue or membrane which marks the nat
ural division between the inside and the outside of the leg. It is
tender and palatable, while the bottom or outside is muscular, firm,
SCOPE OF STUDY AND METHOD OF OBTAINING PRICES.

tough, and dry. In almost all markets in which “ top ” is cut it does
not include a cut of the bone, but in a few markets it includes a cut
of the bone and a very small part of the bottom round. Markets
that sell top round steak sell the bottom for pot roast or Hamburg
steak, or use it for sausage meat.
The rump is from the top of the hip near the tail bone, includes part
of the hip bone, and is called rump roast in almost all cities, and
bouillon or butcher’s roast in a few cities.
The fore quarter is divided into rib, chuck, plate, and shank. The
shank is removed by cutting through the shoulder joint or by cutting
and sawing through the leg bone below that joint. The plate is sepa
rated from the rib and the chuck by cutting through the ribs, begin
ning near the middle of the rib next to the cut which separates the
half or side of beef into the hind quarter and fore quarter and running
parallel to the backbone to the point where the shank was removed.
The nearer the line or cut to the backbone the shorter the rib of beef,
the more desirable the cuts of roast beef, and the higher priced.
The rib of beef is usually separated from the chuck by cutting be
tween the fifth and sixth ribs to and through the backbone, counting
from the rib in the shoulder nearest the neck. It usually includes
eight ribs, two of which have the thin back part of the shoulder blade
in them. The cuts of rib roast for which prices are quoted do not
have any part of the shoulder blade in them, are called prime rib
roast, and sell for 10 to 12 cents per pound more than the two ribs or
cuts with part of the shoulder blade in them. Some markets in some
cities cut rib roast short and trim off part of the backbone before
weighing.
The chuck extends from the point where the rib of beef and chuck
are separated to and including the neck. The prices quoted for
chuck roast are for the best cut, which is next to the butt end of the
rib of beef. In some markets the chuck is cut into steak, for which
there is considerable demand, as it is cheaper than sirloin, porterhouse,
or round.
The plate includes the fore-quarter flank or navel and the brisket.
The flank or 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. The prices quoted for plate
boiling beef are for the best cut of plate, which is from near the navel
and extends to the point where the plate is separated from the rib
and the chuck.
In many cities no bone or fat is trimmed from sirloin, porterhouse,
or round steak before weighing, while in others the trimming varies
from cutting off a very small portion to cutting off approximately all
bone and fat before the steaks are weighed. Steaks are usually
trimmed more before weighing in cities in the North Atlantic States
than elsewhere. In almost all cities rib roast is trimmed after
weighing by cutting off part of the backbone and by ribbing, or cut
ting out ribs. Markets in cities where steaks and roasts are trimmed
after weighing sell bone and fat twice, first to purchasers of steak
and roast, and second to buyers of scraps, bone, and suet.
PORK
CH OPS.
The quotations are for loin chops and not for rib chops or for
chops from the thick end of a “ loin of pork.”

RETAIL PRICES/ 1913 TO DECEMBER, 19*32.
BACON.
Prices are reported by each dealer for 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 some cities the dealers sell relatively little sliced bacon, and
therefore have quoted prices for bacon by the piece. These prices
of piece bacon have not been included in the city averages for the
sliced bacon, but have been included in the average for the United
States for bacon.
HAM.
Prices are reported by each dealer for 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 sliced ham, but in a few
cities some of the dealers sell relatively little sliced ham, and there
fore have quoted prices for whole ham. In such cities the average is
computed on the prices for whole ham.
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. The prices for whole ham have been included in the
average price of ham for the United States.
LARD.
A ll 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 “ tu b ” lard (lard sold in bulk). Some quota
tions, however, are for lard in pails, with a few quotations on “ bricks,”
which are usually 1 pound in weight. Tub lard is quoted by the
pound. Where lard is sold by the pail, the price is quoted per pail,
the net weight being given in each case, and the price quoted has been
reduced to the pound basis.
LEG OF LAMB, YEARLING.
The prices quoted in this bulletin are for the article generally
known to the trade as “ yearling.” The age of the sheep (“ year
ling” ) varies from approximately 9 to 18 months.
•
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,” or
“ stewing” or “ fricassee” chickens.
The quotations are in most cases for “ dressed” hens, although a
few dealers reported prices for “ live” hens. Dressed hens are

described as “ drawn7 or “ not drawn.” Most of the quotations are
7
given for hens “ not drawn.” In a few cities hens are sold “ full
dressed” ; that is, drawn and with head and feet off.
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 oi 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 when
both are on the market. The trade terms used to describe the eggs
for which quotations are given vary with the locality.
Prices are given for storage eggs in January, February, November,
and December only of each year up to 1919, after which time prices
are also given for October. These months represent the season
when practically all the storage eggs are sold.
BUTTER.
The quotations for butter represent the grade of butter known on
the market as “ creamery extra.”
Creamery extra is sold in two ways— in bulk, otherwise known as
“ tu b ” butter, or in bricks, termed “ print” butter.
The demands for print or for tub butter seem to rest on local
preferences. In some cities the price is the same for both; in others,
the price of print butter is slightly higher than that of tub butter.
In some of the Pacific coast cities butter is occasionally 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.
MILK.
All quotations are by the quart and are for milk regularly delivered
to customers.
In connection with each quotation is a statement that the milk
is sold bottled, and also a statement indicating whether the milk
is “ 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, a bill being
rendered monthly for the quantity actually served. Sometimes a
slight reduction is made for cash payment when the bill is rendered.
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.
70
RETAIL PRICES, -1913 TO DECEMBER,, 1922.
BREAD.
Prices for bread are given on the pound scaling weight prior to the
year 1918. In December, 1917, the Food Administration adopted
standard weight loaves, and beginning with January, 1918, it has
been possible to quote prices for a pound baked loaf. For all loaves
weighing other than a pound, baked, the price per pound has been
computed. In order to compare the average price of bread in any
month of the years 1918 and 1919 with the price in any month of a
previous year, it has been necessary to convert the prices in the
previous months, which are for 16 ounces of dough, to prices for
18 ounces of dough, as this is the average scaling weight for a baked
loaf weighing a pound. These figures appear in the tables in parallel
columns. The relative figures for bread have been based on the
prices of the baked loaf.
Prices of fancy, special, graham, rye, and restaurant breads have
been excluded.
FLOUR.
Flour is quoted by the eighth-barrel bag in the majority of the
cities. In the western cities, however, most of the quotations are for
the fourth-barrel, while in certain southern cities— Jacksonville,
Charleston, Mobile, New Orleans, Norfolk, and Richmond— a major
ity of the sales are for quantities less than the eighth-barrel. There
are, in a few of the cities, some quotations by the pound. On what
ever quantity the quotations have been given, all prices have been
reduced to the pound basis. During the year 1918 prices for standard
war flour were included.1
5
CORN MEAL.
The corn meal for which prices are given is usually in bulk. How
ever, some quotations are on meal in cartons or packages. The price
of com 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 customers and
represents a great variety of units of sale. In the New England
and other northern cities the amounts sold are usually small. ' In
most southern and western cities sales of 10 pounds or more pre
dominate*
RICE.
Practically all the quotations are for domestic rice grown princi
pally in Louisiana and Texas. Prices are for the full grain only, and
are given for loose rice or for rice in pound packages where the pack
age rice constitutes the bulk of the sales.
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.”

STUDY AND METHOD OF OBTAINING PRICES.
71
New potatoes have been quoted by the dealer only when they
form the bulk of his sales. The peck, or fractional part of a peck,
is the unit of sale for many cities, although in many eastern cities
potatoes are sold by the pound. In the W est potatoes are usually
sold by the 100-pound lot, but during the summer there is a demand
for smaller quantities. Ail prices, however, have been reduced to
the pound basis.
SUGAR.
Prices are for granulated sugar. Until 1917, in a number of cities,
the 25-cent, 50-cent, and $1 lots represented the unit of sale, but
since the latter part of 1917 practically all quotations have been
given on the pound basis.
COFFEE.
The coffee for which prices are given is pure roasted coffee, either
in bulk or in packages. Prices of package coffee are quoted only
where loose coffee has a relatively small sale.
TEA.
The tea for which prices are given is either loose or in packages.
Prices of package tea are given where the loose tea has comparatively
little sale. Most of the sales are for package tea. Many quotations
are for mixed or blended tea.
Most quotations are on the pound basis. In the package tea,
however, many quotations are for a smaller quantity, from which
pound prices have been computed.
CANNED SALMON.
Salmon is canned in three styles of cans, 1 pound tails, 1 pound
flats, and ^ pound flats. The shape of the can does not signify„any
particular grade or quality of fish. The net weight of the large
can is usually 15 or 16 ounces, and of the small can from 7J to 8
ounces. All prices have been reduced to the pound basis.
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,
or other varieties, have been quoted when they replace the yellow
or red onions.
Although the unit of sale varies with different firms, more onions
are sold by the. pound then by the quart or the one-fourth peck.
When new onions come into the market the unit of sale frequently
changes from the quart or the one-fourth peck to the pound basis.
BEANS.
All quotations for beans are for the article commonly known as
“ n a v y ” or “ pea” beans. The prices quoted are by the pound.
Prices, when given on the quart basis, have been reduced to the
pound.
72
RETAIL PRICES, 1913 TO DECEMBER, 19*22,
PRUNES.
The prunes for which prices are given, are mostly California prunes,
although in the western division quotations are also given onOregon
or Italian prunes. A ll quotations are on the loose prunes.
Quotations are given on the size of prunes having the heaviest
sales in the stores reporting prices.
RAISINS.
The raisins for which the most of the prices are given are the seeded
raisins in packages. In some cases prices of seedless raisins have
been given. 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 majority of the quotations are given on the
pound, package. The prices of the smaller packages have been con
verted to the pound basis.
“
EVAPORATED MILK.
The prices given for evaporated milk are for the unsweetened, in
the 15 to 16 ounce can.
OLEOMARGARINE.
In many cities there is as much oleomargarine as butter used,
while in the W est scarcely any butter substitutes are sold. Under
the term “ oleomargarine/7 as used in this bulletin, are included but
ter substitutes made from animal fat, although some grades include
small quantities of vegetable oils for purposes of coloring and cheap
ness. Prices are given by the pound.
NUT MARGARINE.
Under this term are included butter substitutes made from vege
table oils only. Prices are given for standard grades-and are quoted
by the pound.
CRISCO.
Prices are secured for Crisco as representative of a vegetable oil
which is used as a substutite for lard. Quotations are given mostly
on the 1-pound can. When otherwise quoted, the prices are reduced
to the pound basis.
ROLLED OATS.
Prices are quoted for standard brands both in bulk and in the
package. When quoted for bulk the priee is usually given by the
pound. Prices are most frequently quoted for the 20-ounce package,
although some sales are for the 3-pound-7-ounce package. Prices
by the package have been reduced to the pound basis.
CORN FLAKES.
Prices are quoted for standard brands in the 8-ounce package, and
are published for this quantity.

MACARONI.
Macaroni is sold in several different sized packages, ranging from
7 to 16 ounces, but on whatever size of package the quotation has
been given the price has been reduced to the pound basis by using
the net weight of the package as reported by dealers.
CABBAGE.
Prices are quoted bv the pound. This method of sale is rapidly
replacing the sale by the head. Cabbage varies in quality and con
dition, but there are no designated grades. The new crop in the
spring and summer comes in at a much higher price than the old
cabbage, but no higher proportionately than onions or potatoes.
BAKED BEANS.
Prices are quoted on standard brands and for the No. 2 size can
(1 pound, 4 ounces).
CANNED CORN.
According to quality com is graded into fancy, standard, and sub
standard. Standard grade constitutes the bulk of the corn canned,
and it is fairly uniform in quality and price. The prices quoted are
for the standard grade in the No. 2 can (1 pound, 4 ounces).
CANNED PEAS.
According to size, color, and maturity, peas are graded into fancy,
standard, and substandard. Prices as given in this bulletin are for
recognized brands of the standard grade and are for the No. 2 size
can (1 pound, 4 ounces).
CANNED TOMATOES.
Tomatoes are graded into fancy and standard. The standard in
the No. 2 size can is sold in nearly all cities. In the East, the No. 3
can is used extensively, while in the W est the No.
can is sold
almost exclusively. In the West, fruit is packed in the No.
size
can. This accounts for this same size being used for tomatoes.
When the production of tomatoes in the East is small, these No.
cans from the W est come upon the Eastern markets. Prices are
given in most cities for the No. 2 can. However, in those cities
where the No. 3 can or the No.
can is most generally sold, the
average has been computed for this size. In the averages for the
United States, however, only prices for the No. 2 can have been
included.

RETAIL PRICES, 1913 TO DECEMBER, 1922.
BANANAS.
Prices are quoted in most cities by the dozen. In many cities,
however, bananas are sold by weight and the prices are quoted by
the pound. For these cities, the average has been made on the
ound basis, but in the average for the United States only prices
y the dozen have been included. The prices are quoted on the
best bananas in the bunch.
E
ORANGES.
Quotations are given on the size which constitutes the bulk of the
sales and are given each month on the same size, as nearly as it is
possible for the retailer to keep this size in stock. Both Florida
and California oranges are included. Prices are quoted by the
dozen.
COAL.
This bulletin shows the average retail prices of coal on January
15 and July 15 of each year, 1913 to 1919, January 15, 1920, and the
15th of each month, June, 1920, to December, 1922, for the United
States. Prices are given by cities for the 15th of each month of 1921.
In addition to the average prices, relative prices, based on the aver
age price in the year 1913, are given for the United States.1 The
6
uices shown for each city are those quoted on coal for retail trade
or household use. From the individual firm quotations average
prices for each city have been computed. Prices are shown for Penn
sylvania white ash anthracite, both in stove and chestnut sizes, and
for Colorado, Arkansas, and New Mexico anthracite in those cities
where these coals are more generally sold than is the Pennsylvania coal.
The prices shown for bituminous coal are averages for the several
kinds used. The coal dealers in each city were asked to quote prices
on the kinds of bituminous coal usually sold for household use.
The prices quoted are for coal delivered to consumers, but do not
include charges for storing the coal in cellar or coal bin where an
extra handling was necessary.
Prices for coal are shown only for the cities from which prices of
food are secured by this bureau. Practically all sales are made on
the basis of a 2,000-pound “ ton lot.” Baltimore, Charleston, Phila
delphia, Pittsburgh, and Washington are the only cities selling coal
by the 2,240-pound ton. All other cities have quoted prices for a
2,000-pound ton, and, unless otherwise specified, average prices by
cities are shown in this bulletin for the 2,000-pound ton, All prices
reported for other than the 2,000-pound ton have been converted
to this base for the purpose of computing averages for the United
States.
J
GAS.
This bulletin gives prices for gas on April 15 of each year, 1907 to
1920, and for May 15, September 15, and December 15, 1921, and
March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15, 1922, by individ
ual cities and for the United States.
For those cities where prices were secured from more than one
company, an average has been computed from the individual firm

quotations. W ith the exception of the following five cities, how
ever, there is in each city only one company distributing gas for
household use: Boston, New York, Pittsburgh, Scranton, and
Washington. In addition to the average prices, relative prices,
based on the average price in the year 1913, are given for the United
States.
The prices given are for the first 1,000 cubic feet and 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 quantity including the first 1,000 cubic feet has been
quoted. Prices are shown for manufactured gas in 44 cities and for
natural gas in 9 cities. In Los Angeles, Calif., prices are quoted on
manufactured and natural gas, mixed.
ELECTRICITY.
This bulletin gives prices for electricity in December, 1914 to 1917,
June and December, 1918 to 1920, May, September, and December,
1921, and March, June, September, and December, 1922, by cities.
For 19 cities, prices are shown for the entire period, and for 13 cities
beginning with December, 1917.
Prices per kilowatt hour are shown together with the quantity of
consumption to which each rate applies. Where the rate applies to
a variable quantity, determined by the installation or consumption
of the customer, an explanation of the method used in determining
the number of kilowatt hours payable at each rate follows the table.
DRY GOODS.
In this bulletin 1 retail prices are given for the following 10 arti
7
cles 1 of dry goods: Calico, percale, apron gingham, dress gingham,
8
muslin, sheeting, sheets, outing flannel, wool flannel, and cotton
blankets. For the United States prices are shown for May 15 and
October 15 of each year, 1915 to 1921, for February 15 and August 15,
1919, 1920, and 1921, and for March 15, June 15, September 15, and
December 15, 1922. Prices are shown by cities for the 15th of
March, June, September, and December, 1922.
The dry goods stores from which this information is received were
selected by agents of the bureau and are, for the most part, large
department stores. Retail prices on each specific date have been
quoted by the firms on regularly prepared schedules sent out by the
bureau. Average prices for each city have been computed for each
article from these individual firm quotations. Prices of standard
brands only have been included in these averages. In no case do
the prices include those for “ seconds” or “ mill ends,” and neither
“ cut-rate” prices nor “ special-sale” prices are included.

RETAIL PRICES, 3M3 TO DECEMBER, 1922.
EXPLANATION OF TABLES,
Table A .— Average and relative retail prices of specified food articles
fo r the United States, 1913 to 1922, by months and years {pp. 78 to
88 ).— This table gives for the United States as a whole both average
and relative prices for each of 23 food articles, by months, 1913 to
1922, and only average prices for 5 other articles carried since 1915
and for 15 additional articles for which prices were first secured in
1919, Prices for one other article are not secured monthly.
In this bulletin comparisons are made with the year 1913 as the
base, because this was the last year of normal pre-war prices.
The relative prices for each article, as published in this table, for
each month prior to January, 1918, have been obtained by converting
those previously published in Bulletin No. 228, on the 1916 base to
relatives on the 1913 base. Since January, 1918, the relatives have
been obtained by dividing the average prices for each month by the
average money price of each article in the year 1913.
Until 1918 average prices for bread were computed by the pound,
scaling weight, that is, a pound of dough as weighed by the baker
before baking. In December, 1917, the Food Administration adopted
standard weights for baked loaves. Since January, 1918, the prices
of bread are shown for the pound, baked weight, and prices for pre
vious months based on 16 ounces of dough have been converted to
prices for 18 ounces of dough, as 18 ounces is the average scaling
weight for a baked loaf weighing a pound.
Table B .—Average retail prices of specified food articles in 1913 and
1922 and fo r each month o f1922fo r each o f51 cities {pp . 89 to 139).— For
each city the average money prices of each article in each month
have been computed by adding all prices reported in each city for
each article and by dividing this sum by the total number of firms
in each city reporting on each article. An average has been made of
the monthly averages in each city for the determination of the yearly
average price of each article.
Table C.— Relative retail prices o f 23 food articles: 1922 and each
month of 1922 compared with 1913, fo r each of 39 cities (pp . 11^0 to
159).— The relative prices for each article in each city have been
obtained by dividing the average money price for each article in each
month of 1922 and lor the year 1922 by the average money price of
each article in the year 1913.
The index numbers for each month and for the year 1922, showing
the trend in the retail cost of all articles of food combined as com
pared with the cost for the year 1913, have been based on the average
family expenditure for 43 foods. Although the average family ex
penditure for each month and year, 1913 to 1920, has been based on
22 foods, the index numbers for 1921 and 1922 have been so computed
as to be comparable with the index numbers from January, 1913, to
December, 1920. The same method of computing the average family
expenditure has been followed as used for Table 1, explained on page
4. Index numbers could be shown only for the cities from which
prices were secured in 1913.

for Pennsylvania white-ash coal, both in stove and chestnut sizes,
and for bituminous coal. Average prices are also shown for Colo
rado, Arkansas, and New Mexico anthracite in those cities where
these coals are sold. Prices on other than the 2,000-pound ton have
been so specified by note.
Table E.— Net price o f gas fo r household use per 1,000 cubic feet on
A pril 15 o f each year, 1907 to 1920, and on May 15 September 15, and
December 15, 1921, and March 15, June 15, September 15, and Decem
ber 15, 1922 by cities (p. 162).— In this table prices are shown
,
,
by cities for manufactured gas, natural gas, and manufactured and
natural gas mixed. From the prices quoted by individual gas firms,
city averages have been computed for those cities where more than
one company reported. All prices are net and are quoted for the
first 1,000 cubic feet.
Table F.— Net price per kilowatt hour o f electricity fo r household use
in December, 191% to 1917, June and December, 1918 to 1920, May,
September, and December, 1921, and March June, September, and
December, 1922, by cities (pp. 164 to 166). — In this table prices are
,
shown for 19 cities from 1914 to 1922 and for 13 cities from 1917 to
1922.
For those cities having a sliding scale based on the consumption
prices are shown for the rates used for domestic purposes. In several
of the cities the consumption is expressed in hours of demand. Since
the demand is determined by a different method in each city, an
explanation of these methods is given following the table.
Table G.— Average retail prices o f specified articles o f dry goods on
March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15, 1922, by cities
(pp. 169 to 175).— From the prices quoted by individual dry goods
firms averages have been computed for each of 10 articles of dry
goods in each city. Prices on standard brands only have been.,
included in the averages.

DETERMINATION OF DEM AND.
In Buffalo, from December, 1914, to December, 1922, there has
been no change in the method of determining the number of kilowatt
hours to be paid for at each rate. The demand consists of two parts—■
lighting, 25 per cent of the total installation, but never less than 250
watts; and power,
per cent of the capacity of any electric range,
water heater, or other appliance of 1,000 watts or over and 25 per
cent of the rated capacity of motors exceeding one-half horsepower
but less than 1 horsepower. The installation is determined by
inspection of premises.
2\
In Chicago, from December, 1914, to December, 1922, the equiva
lent in kilowatt hours7to 30 hours7use of demand has been estimated
as follows: For a rated capacity of 475 to 574 watts, 11 kilowatt hours;
575 to 674 watts, 12 kilowatt hours; 675 to 774 watts, 13 kilowatt hours;
and 775 to 874 watts, 14 kilowatt hours. Although the equivalent
in kilowatt hours to 30 hours7use of demand of from 1 to 1,500 watts
is given on the printed tariff, the equivalent is here shown only for
installations of from 475 to 874 watts; the connected load of the
average workingman’s home being, as a rule, within this range.
In Cincinnati, from December, 1917, to December, 1922, the
demand has been estimated as being 70 per cent of the connected
load, excluding appliances.
In Cleveland, from December, 1914, to December, 1916, inclusive,
Company A determined the demand by inspection as being 40 per
cent of the connected load. From December, 1917, to December,
1919, there was a fixed number of kilowatt hours to be paid for at
the primary rate by all customers, after which there was a flat rate
for all current consumed.
In Houston, from December, 1914, to December, 1922, the demand
has been estimated as 50 per cent of the connected load, each socket
opening being rated at 50 watts.
In Indianapolis the determination of demand has been the same
for both companies. From December, 1917, to March, 1922, the
first block of demand for these companies was for 1.5 kilowatt hours
per socket for not less than 10 sockets, 1 kilowatt hour per socket
for the next 10 sockets, and 0.5 kilowatt hour per socket for excess
sockets.
From April 1, 1922, to July 1, 1922, the first block of demand
consisted of the first 5 kilowatt hours for each of the first 5 active
rooms plus the first 3 kilowatt hours for each additional room, but
not less than 15 kilowatt hours per month. Beginning July 1, 1922,
a fixed number of kilowatt hours is to be paid for at each rate.
In New York the demand for Company C from December, 1914,
to December, 1922, when not determined by meter, has been com
puted at 50 per cent of total installation in residences, each standard
socket being rated at 50 watts and all other outleys being rated at
their actual kilowatt capacity.
In Pittsburgh from December, 1919, to December, 1922, the
demand has been determined by inspection. The first 10 outlets
have been rated at 30 watts each, the next 20 outlets at 20 watts
each,., and each additional outlet at 10 watts. Household utensils
and appliances of not over 660 watts each have been excluded.
168
RETAIL PRICES, 1913 TO DECEMBER, 1922.
In Portland, Oreg., from Jane 16, 1917, to December, 1922, the
demand for Company A has been estimated as one-third of the con
nected lighting load. Ranges, heating devices, and small power up
to rated capacity of 2 kilowatts are not included.
From December, 1914, to December, 1916, inclusive, the demand
for Company B, when not based on actual measurement, was esti
mated at one-third of the connected load. No demand was estab
lished at less than 233 watts. Since December, 1917, the present
schedule has been in effect.
In St. Louis the first block of demand for Company A from Decem
ber, 1917, to October, 1919, consisted of the first 4 kilowatt hours per
month for each of the first 4 active rooms and the first
kilowatt
hours for each additional active room. The second block consisted
of additional energy until a total of 7 kilowatt hours per month per
active room had been consumed, after which the third rate became
effective. Since October 31, 1919, the first block has consisted of
first 5 kilowatt hours per month for each of the first 5 active rooms,
and the first 2J kilowatt hours for each additional active room. The
second block has been for additional energy until a total of 9 kilowatt

APPENDIX A,— PURCHASING PO W ER OF UNION W A G ES AS M EASU RED
IN FO OD , 1907 TO 1922.
Because of the increasing interest in real wages, or the purchasing
power of the wage, the two following tables, which present union
wages in relation to the retail price of food, are shown. This is of
interest because food constitutes by far the largest single item of the
average family expenditure. The figures for food represent the cost
of all articles,1 weighted according to the average family consumption
2
of each article. Prices from 51 cities are included in the 1922 index
number for food. The figures for union wages include 91 trades taken
in 58 cities in 1918, 93 trades taken in 61 cities in 1919, 95 trades
taken in 66 cities in 1920, and 91 trades taken in 66 cities in 1921 and
1922. Union wages and retail prices of food were secured from 48
identical cities in 1918, 1919, 1920, 1921, and 1922. The figures given
are relatives, which show the percentage changes as compared with
1913.

As shown in Table 1, the number of full-time hours per week has
decreased 6 per cent since 1913 and 9 per cent since 1907. Rates of
wages per hour have increased 93 per cent since 1913 and 115 per cent
since 1907. Rates of wages per week show an increase of 83 per cent
since 1913 and of 99 per cent since 1907. The retail price of foods,3
however, has increased 42 per cent since 1913 and 73 per cent since
1907.
* Figures for 1921 and 1922 have been based on 43 foods, and from 1913 to 1920 on 22 foods. Index num bers
for 1907 to 1913 have been based upon fewer articles, but the relatives have been so com puted as to be com
parable with one another.

Table 2 shows that an hour’s wage in 1921 purchased 134 per cent
as much food as in 1913 and a week’s wage 126 per cent as much. In

per cent as much food as in 1913. An hour’s wage in 1922 purchased
125 per cent as much food as it did in 1907 and a week’s wage 115 per

APPENDIX B.— C O M PAR ISO N S OF W H O L E S A L E 3 AN D RETAIL 4 PRICES OF
CERTAIN FO OD ARTICLES, 1913 T O 1922.
The following tables and charts are presented in order to compare
the price fluctuations at wholesale and retail of several similar or
nearly identical food articles. It is difficult to obtain strictly com
parable information, and conclusions must be not too hastily drawn
from *the information here presented. The wholesale prices shown
are averages for the month, while the retail prices are those on the
15th of each month.
The differential in no instance represents the gross margin of dif
ference between the wholesale price and the retail price on the
identical article. That is, a particular article at wholesale is not
followed into the retail trade and the price secured on this identical
article. These differentials do, however, show with substantial ac
curacy the relation of wholesale prices and of retail prices for the
same or similar food articles. The fact that the prices quoted are
not prices on the identical articles at wholesale and retail and do not
refer to precisely the same date or period, does not render the com
* The wholesale prices shown are those com piled each m onth b y this bureau from quotations given in
standard trade journals, and from quotations sent direct to the bureau b y manufacturers, wholesalers,
boards of trade, and Feaerajl and State bureaus. As far as possible, the quotations for the various com
m odities are secured in their prim ary markets and represent in m ost instances the prices paid b y the whole
sale trade. These prices have been published in the M o n t h l y L a b o r R e v i e w and in wholesale price
bulletins of this bureau.
4 The retail prices are averages com puted from reports sent to this bureau each m onth b y retail dealers.
These prices have been published in the M onthly L a b o r R e v ie w and appear in Table B of this bulletin
under the cities for which the prices are quoted.

parisons useless or invalid. While it is true that in no instance does
the difference between the wholesale price and the retail price repre
sent the “ gross profit” or even the margin of difference between the
price at wholesale and the price at retail on an identical commodity,
as a pound of bacon, ham, or butter followed from the wholesaler to
the retailer, the differentials are significant and well worth careful
study.
Even where the comparisons are made on articles wdiich are so
closely related at wholesale and at retail as butter, corn meal, or sugar,
the difference between the wholesale price and the retail price must not
be considered as showing even in a general way the profit of the re
tailer. As the wholesale prices are those paid by the wholesaler rather
than those received by the wholesaler, this difference must not only
help to provide for the operating expenses of the wholesaler, but it
must also include the transportation costs from the wholesaler to the
retailer and the retailer's cost of doing business. For the retailer,
alone, it must help provide for interest on capital invested, rent, clerk
hire, ice, delivery, heat, taxes, bad debts, and depreciated and spoiled
food. No attempt has been made to ascertain either the whole
saler's or retailer dealer's net profit.
Relative prices for the several articles, based on the average price
in 1 9 1 3 as 100 , are also shown in the tables in order that percentage
changes may be more easily followed.
The following is a list of the tables and charts comparing wholesale
and retail prices from 1 9 1 3 to 1 9 2 2 :

Chicago.

APPENDIX C.—RETAIL PRICES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
The following table shows the trend in the retail cost of food in
the principal foreign countries since July, 1914. For purposes of
comparison the figures are also given in this table for the United
States. July, 1914, was selected as the base for this table-instead
of the average for the year 1913, which is used in the other tables
published in this bulletin, because of the fact that satisfactory infor
mation for some of the foreign countries was not available for 1913.
For Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden,
and the city of Rome, Italy, the index numbers are reproduced as
published in the original sources. W ith three exceptions all these
are shown on the July, 1914, base in the source from which the infor
mation is taken. The index numbers for Belgium are computed on
April, 1914, as the base period, those for Germany on the average of
October, 1913, January, April, and July, 1914, while those for Rome
are based on the first half of 1914. The index numbers here shown
for the remaining countries have been obtained by dividing the index
for each month specified in the table by the index for July, 1914, or
the nearest period thereto, as published. As shown in the table, the
number of articles included in the index numbers for the different
countries differs widely. These results should not, therefore, be con
sidered as closely comparable one with another. In a few instances,
also, the figures here shown are not absolutely comparable from
month to month over the entire period, owing to slight changes in
the list of commodities included at successive dates.
