BULLETIN OF THE
U. S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS
WASHINGTON
NO. 473
JANUARY, 1929
WHOLESALE PRICES, 1913 TO 1927
INTRODUCTION
An annual bulletin on wholesale prices has been published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics since 1900. In that year was issued a
report1 designed to bring up to date the record of prices in the report
of the United States Senate Committee on Finance for the years
1840 to 1891, published in 1893.2 Subsequent annual reports were
included in the March issues of the bimonthly bulletin of the bureau
for the years 1902 to 1911, inclusive, and were published separately
thereafter. Statistics of wholesale prices have also appeared in the
Labor Review since its inception in July, 1915, and in a pamphlet
monthly since March, 1922. In the present bulletin prices are
brought up to the end of 1927, and in addition all index numbers have
been shifted to the year 1926 as the base instead of the year 1913 used
in preceding bulletins on wholesale prices.
Beginning with the 1921 bulletin, an important change was made in
the grouping of commodities. In preceding reports of the bureau
the plan was followed of arbitrarily confining an article to a particular
group, regardless of its fitness for inclusion also under other group
designations. In the bulletin for 1921 articles properly falling under
more than one of the classifications adopted were included under each
classification. For example, structural steel, nails, and certain other
metal products used in building were placed in the group of building
materials as well as in that of metals and metal products. Similarly,
food articles produced on the farm which reach the consumer prac
tically unchanged in form, such as potatoes, eggs, and milk, were
included both among farm products and among foods. In com
puting the general index number for all commodities, however, such
articles were counted only once, thereby avoiding duplication in the
final result. This plan has been continued in the present bulletin.
Besides the inclusion of certain articles in more than one group, a
rearrangement of commodities within the several groups to provide

In addition to the above groups, index numbers are shown for nonagricultural commodities in comparison with farm products. There
is also given a series of index numbers of raw materials, semimanu
factured articles, and finished products, in which all commodities
have been distributed among these three groups.
METHOD OF COMPUTING INDEX NUMBERS
In constructing the index numbers shown in the present bulletin
the year 1926 was selected as the base period. This choice was made
because of the fact that 1926 was the last completed year when the
work of revising its series of wholesale price index numbers was
undertaken by the bureau in the summer of 1927, and it therefore
furnished the most dependable standard for measuring price changes.
Moreover, taken as a whole, market conditions in 1926 were regarded
as fairly close to normal for the postwar period.
For individual commodities index numbers were obtained in all
cases by dividing the monthly or yearly average prices by the average
price in 1926 and multiplying the result by 100. For groups of com
modities index numbers were calculated as follows: The average
price in 1926 of each article in the group was first multiplied by the
average of the estimated quantities of that article marketed in the
years 1923 and 1925, these years being the latest for which complete
census information was available. For farm products the average
3
METHOD OF COMPUTING INDEX NUMBERS
of 1923, 1924, and 1925 was used, since dependable information for
all three years was obtainable. The products of prices times quantities
marketed were then added to give the approximate value in exchange
in 1926 of all articles in the group. Similar weighted aggregates of
prices were made for all other years from 1923 to 1927 and for all
months of that period in the manner described above. These group
aggregates were then converted into index numbers by dividing the
aggregate for each year or month by the aggregate for 1926 and
multiplying the result by 100. The index numbers for any group
are thus seen to be percentages of the 1926 aggregate for that group.
If, during the period of 15 years covered by the index numbers,
there had been no changes in the list of commodities, or in their relative
importance, the percentage changes in the cost of the different com
modity groups would be accurately measured by dividing the aggre
gates for all years and months by the corresponding aggregates for
1926. However, articles have been added or dropped from time to
time as circumstances demanded, while substitution of one article for
another at a different price has been necessary in numerous instances.
Also, many commodities have greatly increased or decreased in impor
tance within the period. Therefore a method had to be adopted that
would allow for variations in the number and importance of com
modities. This method consists in computing two separate aggregates
for any year or month in which a change occurs, the first aggregate
being made strictly comparable with the aggregate for the preceding
year or month and the second aggregate strictly comparable with the
succeeding year or month. In this way comparison between any
two consecutive years or months is limited to aggregates made up
of identical articles and weighting factors.
The following statement relative to grains in the group of farm
products will serve to illustrate the method employed, two sets of
weighting factors having been used for the year 1923.

WHOLESALE PRICES, 1913 TO 1927
In the foregoing illustration the index number for 1924, with 1926
as the base period, was found by direct comparison of similar weighted
price aggregates to be 100.6. The ratio of the aggregate for 1923 with
1923-1925 weights ($1,410,740,000) to the aggregate for 1924 with
1923-1925 weights ($1,612,757,000) is 100 to 114.32. Therefore the
index number for 1923 on 1924 as the base period is 100 divided by
114.32, or 87.5. Multiplying 87.5 by 100.6 (the index number for
1924 on 1926 as the base period) gives 88.0 as the index number
for 1923 on the 1926 base.
Turning next to the years 1922 and 1923 in comparison, with
1921-1923 weights, we find the ratio is 100 to 103.48. Therefore the
index number for 1922 on 1923 as the base period is 100 divided by
103.48, or 96.6. Multiplying 96.6 by 88.0 (established as the index
number for 1923 on 1926 as the base period) gives 85.0 as the index
number for 1922 on the 1926 base. Index numbers for all other years
of the period have been computed in like manner as the above example.
The weighting factors used in computing the piesent series of
index numbers back to 1913 are as follows: For the year 1913 the
mean of 1909 and 1914 data; for 1914 to 1919, inclusive, the mean of
1914 and 1919 data; for 1919 to 1921, inclusive, the mean of 1919
and 1921 data; for 1921 to 1923, inclusive, the mean of 1921 and
1923 data; and for 1923 to 1927, inclusive, the mean of 1923 and 1925
data. In certain cases, where census or other reliable data were
lacking, estimates based on the best information available have been
resorted to. While the figuies used must in many cases be regarded
as mere approximations, they are believed sufficient to insure to each
commodity its proper influence during the period covered. Cases of
change in the list of commodities have been handled in the same man
ner as changes in weighting factors.
To ascertain the quantities of the various commodities marketed
during the years covered by the index numbers, every available source
of information, official and private, was drawn upon. In the case of
articles consumed to a large extent by the producer, as corn, oats,
hay, etc., only the portion actually marketed, as near as could be
determined, was taken. A similar plan w^as followed with regard to
semimanufactured articles, such as cotton and worsted yarns, pig
iron, and steel billets, which often are carried into further processes
of manufacture in establishments where produced. The quantity
of the article sold was ascertained as nearly as possible and used to
weigh the prices. Appendix A of this bulletin shows the weights
used for the years 1923 to 1927, together with the 550 commodities
included in the weighted index numbers. In addition to these 550
commodities the present bulletin contains prices of a number of
articles not used in constructing the index numbers.
In some instances the prices shown in the present bulletin are
composites made by averaging several quotations. Examples of such
composites are leather harness, suit cases and traveling bags, anthra
cite and bituminous coal, manufactured gas, plows, automobiles,
sewing machines, cookstoves, brick, Portland cement, prepared
fertilizers, furniture, and automobile tires.
In all cases simple
averages of the prices obtained from different sources were made.
No attempt to weight the different elements entering into any com
posite price was made, since in most cases it would be a physical
impossibility to ascertain the quantity of the article sold at the reported
5
COMMODITIES INCLUDED
price. In a few instances, where the reported prices were regarded
as truly representative, the composite price was made from only
three quotations, but in no case from less than three. To preserve
the continuity of the information, care was taken that the quotations
for any month be obtained from the same sources and on articles of
the same description as the month before. These composite prices
are believed to furnish a more accurate barometer of price changes
than would prices based on a single source of information.
COMMODITIES INCLUDED IN THE PRESENT BULLETIN
In the selection of commodities for inclusion in the bureau's reports
on wholesale prices it has been the aim to choose only important and
representative articles in each group. To this end, in addition to
utilizing all available information from official sources, careful inquiry
has been made in the principal market centers to determine which
articles within the general class or group enter to the largest extent
into exchange from year to year. In the case of butter and several
other articles the quotations have been enlarged in recent years by
the addition of lower priced grades that were found to constitute
a considerable part of the volume of sales. In the case of commodities
classed as chemicals or drugs, where a range of prices was found, the
lower quotations were selected because these quotations are believed
to represent the prices of larger lots, while the higher quotations
represent the prices of smaller lots. The sources from which the 550
price quotations used in the weighted index for the past two years
have been drawn are as follows:

So far as possible the quotations for the various commodities have
been secured in their primary markets. For example, the prices
quoted for livestock and most animal products, as well as for most
grains, are for Chicago; cotton prices are for Galveston and New
Orleans; wool prices are for Boston; flour prices are mainly for Kansas
City and Minneapolis; iron and steel prices are for Pittsburgh, etc.

WHOLESALE PRICES, 1913 TO 1927
The prices are, in all instances where this information could be
obtained, based on first-hand transactions. Thus the cattle and
other livestock prices used are those paid by slaughterhouses to the
commission man acting for the producer. Grain prices are those
ruling on the floor of the exchange for grain shipped in by country
elevators. Cotton and wool prices are for sales made to manufac
turers. Cotton and woolen goods prices are in most instances those
quoted by manufacturers to wholesalers, jobbers, and manufacturers
of wearing apparel. Butter and egg prices are for consignments to the
wholesale trade. Fluid milk prices are those to producers for milk
delivered on city platform. Flour prices are those made by millers
to large wholesale dealers, jobbers, and bakers. Leather prices are
those from tanners to manufacturers. Pig iron prices are those to
foundry operators and large steel makers. Steel prices are those to
jobbers or large manufacturing consumers.
For commodities of great importance more than one price series
has been included in the present bulletin. In no case, however, is
an article of a particular description represented by more than one
series of quotations for the same market. For most articles weekly
prices have been secured. In a large number of instances, particu
larly since the beginning of 1918, it has been possible to obtain
average monthly prices from daily quotations. For those commodi
ties whose prices are quite stable, such as certain textiles and building
materials, only first-of-the-month prices have been taken. For
commodities included in the weighted index numbers these details
are summarized for 1926 and 1927 as follows:

It is obvious that in order to arrive at a strictly scientific average
price for any period one must know the precise quantity marketed
and the price at which each unit of the quantity was sold. It is
manifestly impossible to obtain such detail, and even if it were possible
the labor cost involved in such a compilation would be prohibitive.
The method employed here, which is the one usually employed in
computing average prices, is believed to yield results quite satis
factory for all practical purposes.
WHOLESALE PRICES, 1913 TO 1927

WHOLESALE PRICES IN 1927 AND IN PREVIOUS YEARS
Wholesale prices in general moved within comparatively narrow
limits in 1927. Exceptions to the rule were found among farm
products and hides and leather products, where considerable varia
tions occurred during the year. Grains advanced sharply in spring
and early summer but declined in fall. The average for the year
was slightly above the 1926 average. Beef steers steadily increased
in price during most of the year, weakening somewhat in M ay and
again in December. Hog prices declined in the first half of the year,
advancing in summer and fall and declining again in the last three
months. December prices were much below those of January.
Lambs were fairly stable in price, with increases in spring and declines
in summer and at the close of the year. Livestock prices as a whole
were lowest in June, when grains were highest, and highest in October,
when grains were comparatively low. The average for the group
was slightly below that of 1926. In the group of other farm products,
cotton and milk averaged slightly higher than in the preceding year,
while eggs, hay, potatoes, and wool were lower. Farm products, as
a whole, were somewhat lower than in 1926.
Among foods there were marked variations during the year in the
prices of butter, cheese, fresh and cured meats, coffee, flour, corn
meal, fruits, and sugar. Prices in this group averaged about 3 per
cent lower than in 1926. Hides and leather products steadily
advanced after February, hides and skins leading and leather following,
with shoes and other leather products lagging in the rate of increase.
Prices of hides and skins were nearly 30 per cent higher at the end of
the year than at the beginning, while leather was 22 per cent higher
and boots and shoes were 7 per cent higher. Compared with the
average for the preceding year, prices in the group increased 8 per
cent in 1927.
Cotton textiles increased from January to September, but declined
thereafter. Silk and rayon steadily decreased after April, with the
yearly average 12 per cent below that of the year before. Woolen
and worsted goods showed only minor price variations, while other
textiles, including binder twine, burlap, manila hemp, jute, and sisal,
declined in spring and summer and reacted in fall and winter. All
textile products, taken as a whole, showed a 4 per cent decrease from
the price level of the preceding year.
Prices of anthracite coal averaged lower than in 1926, while bitu
minous coal was slightly higher. Coke and manufactured gas prices
were somewhat lower. Petroleum products showed the greatest
price decline of all, the average for the year being 27 per cent below
the 1926 average. Metals and metal products as a whole varied but
little in price from the previous year, iron and steel and nonferrous
metals being cheaper and automobiles and other machinery and tools
being higher than in 1926. Appreciable decreases were recorded for
building materials, including lumber, brick, cement, and paint
materials. Chemicals and drugs also were cheaper than in 1926,
drugs and mixed fertilizers taking the lead in price declines. Furni
ture showed an appreciable decrease from the year before, with house
furnishings exhibiting a smaller decrease. In the group of miscella
neous commodities cattle-feed prices were 17 per cent higher than in
1926, while prices of crude rubber and automobile tires were from 12

WHOLESALE PRICES, 1913 TO 1927
to 14 per cent lower. Paper and pulp also were cheaper than in the
preceding year. All commodities, considered in the aggregate, were
4.6 per cent lower in 1927 than in 1926.
The table which follows shows for each of the 10 commodity
groups and for all commodities as a whole the number of commodities
or separate commodity units included in the weighted index and the
number that increased or decreased in 1927 as compared with the
year previous:

From this table it will be seen that, of the 550 commodities or price
series included in the weighted index for 1926 and 1927, increases in
average price were reported for 179 series and decreases for 312 series.
In the case of 45 series no change in average prices was shown, while
in the case of 14 series comparable prices for the two years could not
be obtained. Detailed information concerning price changes of
individual commodities will be found in the table on pages 61 to 238
of this bulletin.
Index numbers for the several groups of commodities for the years
from 1913 to 1927 are shown in Table 5. As has been explained, in
computing these index numbers the year 1926 was taken as the base
period. To assist in the comparison afforded by the index numbers
there is also shown the per cent of increase or decrease in prices for
each year as compared with the next preceding year.

AVERAGE W HOLESALE PRICES OF IM PO RTAN T
CO M M O D ITIES, 1913 TO 1927
The average wholesale prices of individual commodities for each
year from 1913 to 1927 and for each month of 1926 and 1927 are shown
in detail in Table 9. Yearly figures from 1890 to 1912 and monthly
figures for the years from 1913 to 1926 have, wherever this information
has been collected by the bureau, been published in previous bulle
tins.1 Table 9 contains, in addition to the average money prices,
the relative price for each year or month as compared with the price
in 1926; that is, the per cent that the average price in each year or
month is of the average price in 1926. These relative prices have
been computed from ‘average prices carried to four decimal places,
while the average prices, as here published, have been rounded off
to three decimal places. In some instances, therefore, the relative
prices show changes not reflected in the average prices.
In many instances it has been found that the price of bread per loaf
is not affected by slight changes in the price of flour, but the weight
of the loaf is changed instead. For this reason the prices of bread
shown in the table are based on a pound of dough before baking, and
not on the baked loaf. In the case of flour, the prices shown for
1918 are necessarily restricted to the grade established by the United
States Food Administration regulations which became effective with
the beginning of that year.
For each commodity the average price for the year was computed
by dividing the sum of the quotations by the number of quotations.
Where a range of prices was found, except in the case of chemicals
and drugs as elsewhere stated, the mean price for each date was taken
and the sum of such means was divided by their number to obtain
the average price for the year. For example, the sum of the 52 mean
weekly prices of No. 2 hard wheat at Kansas City obtained for 1927
was found to be $71,324. This total divided by 52 gives $1,372 as the
average price for 1927. For monthly averages a similar plan was
followed in cases where prices on a particular day of each week were
used. For many commodities, however, monthly averages based on
daily quotations have been obtainable. First-of-the-month prices
have been used for a limited number of articles whose prices are quite
stable.
In computing the averages shown in the table, the net cash price
was used for textiles and all other articles subject to large and varying
discounts. In the case of a few commodities, such as plain wire, nails,
steel plates, steel sheets, etc., the prices of which are subject to a small
discount for cash within 10 days, no deduction has been made. A
series of charts showing percentage price changes for a number of
selected articles of special importance accompanies the table. As in
the table, the change in each case is measured by the average price
in 1926.

APPENDIX A
The weights used in constructing the revised index numbers of
wholesale prices computed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics are
contained in the table which follows. As explained on pages 2 to
5 of the present bulletin, these weights apply to the years 1923 to
1925 and have been adjusted in earlier years to conform to the
varying importance of commodities. The figures are taken from
census reports, supplemented by information from other Government
sources and from trade associations, etc. In each case the figures
represent, as nearly as could be determined, the average yearly quantity
of the article sold in the markets in the years 1923 to 1925. For
commodities represented by more than one series of price quotations,
the total quantity marketed has been apportioned among the several
markets or the several grades of the commodity in proportion to
their relative importance. In addition to the weighting factors, the
1926 base prices are shown for the various commodities included in
the index numbers.

Revised Index Numbers of Wholesale Prices, 1890 to 1927
In the following table the revised index numbers of wholesale
prices computed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics have been ex
tended back to 1890, the earliest year for which wholesale prices
were collected by the bureau. In addition to the shift of the base
period from 1913 to 1926, the revision consists of a rearrangement of
commodities in certain of the groups, as formerly published, to con
form to the latest classification adopted by the bureau. While
results here given for years prior to 1913 are necessarily based on a
smaller number of commodities than are the result for years since
1913, they may be considered comparable for all practical purposes.

Index Numbers of Wholesale Prices In Certain Foreign Countries
In the following table the more important index numbers of whole
sale prices in foreign countries and those of the United States Bureau
of Labor Statistics have been brought together in order that the
trend of prices in the several countries may be compared. The base
periods here shown are those appearing in the sources from which the
information has been drawn. Only general comparisons can be
made from these figures, since, in addition to differences in the base
periods, there are important differences in the composition of the
index numbers themselves.
