December 1958-December 1959 Wholesale prices appeared to atab!Use in 1959, when price Increases for the nonagricultural or Industrial commodities only slightly outweighed a decline In prices for farm products and processed foods. The small advance of 0.3 percent over prices In 1958 was well below the annual average rise In each of the previous 3 years. The increase of 1.7 percent In prices for industrial comsmdltles resulted from the econo mic recovery In 1959, whereas the decline of 4.8 percent in prices for farm products and processed foods developed chiefly when hog production reached a cyclical peak during the year, and meat supplies Increased sharply. Industrial prices In 1959 were influenced by an upsurge In producer and consumer demand created by expanding production, domestic investment, Inventory accumulation, and expenditures for consumer commodities (especially durable goods) and services. Pressures on supplies and on prices were Intensified during the first half of the year when the strong upward trend in inventory accwulatlon gained extra momentum In anticipation of a steel strike during the summer. In addition to strong demand, costs were rising. Price Increases for materials occurred at each stage of manufacture. They were sizable, particularly during the first half of the year, for the crude materials for further processing, including such basic commodities as hides, fuels, crude natural rubber, scrap metals, and wastepaper. On the average, unit labor costs (labor com pensation per unit of production) rose for the fourth successive year In 1959. 1/ Construction costs and corporate profits advanced to record levels. Taxes and rates for local services were rising. Transportation rates were relatively unchanged In 1959 but only after a steady uptrend since 1956. Major price developments in 1959, particularly In the first half of the year, resembled those In 1955, when the economy was also showing a strong recovery from recession and similar economic and market Influences were at play. Average prices rose only slightly In both years, but Industrial prices increased appreciably after some leveling out In the previous recession year. At the same time, prices of agricultural products dropped almost 5 percent. Average wholesale prices would have risen much more both in 1955 and in 1959 except for the effect on agricultural prices of a similar near cyclical peak in hog slaughter, pork production, and In cattle nus&ers. Thus, In 1955, and again in 1959, hog slaughter and pork production reached a peacetime record, and beef production was on an uptrend; supplies of livestock and moats rose substantially; and prices dropped sharply. Thia was the most important influence in these years on the overall trend of prices for farm products and processed foods. 1 / Private nonfarm. Sec Annual Release, Comparison of Indexes of Labor and Honlabor Payments, Prices, and Output Per Man-Hour. 1947-59. U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, August I960. I Industrial Prices The rise in industrial prices tapered off during the latter half ef 1959, when long and virtually industrywide work stoppages in basic steel and copper production 2/ and a steeply declin ing trend in housing starts adversely affected production and employment in a gradually broadening area of the economy. The strong expansion in business activity of the previous 12 months was halted after the second quarter of the year, and pressures en facilities were eased. The effecL on prices is particularly well illustrated in the case of durable goods, for which west of the drop in production and demand occurred. Prices leveled off or declined intermit tently during the latter half of 1959 for durable manufactures and materials used in them--the crude materials and materials at the intermediate and finished stages of processing. As 1959 drew to a close, prices for construction materials as a group edged off, especially compared with a year earlier, when construction was booming and prices remained firm even during the normally slack winter season. Despite price declines toward the close of the year, the average price rise for the year was greatest in durable goods in general and construction materials as a special group. Among specific durable commodity areas, prices (annual averages) rose most in 1959 for machinery and motive products, metals, and lumber. Average prices rose significantly also among some of the Industrial nondurable commodities, such as crude natural rubber, wastepaper, hides, skins, and leather; and coLton textiles and apparel. Prices declined principally for petroleum and iLs products. Durable c diLies The average price rise for machinery and motive products in 1959 (2.1 percent) was actually the smallest average annual Increase since 1954, but it continued the steady uptrend of the past 14 years. In Lhls commodity group, prices rose most for machinery and equipment, such as construction, electrical, metalworking, and "general purpose"— i.e., pumps and compressors, industrial furnaces and ovens, and industrial material handling equipment, among others. Influenced by continuous growth in expenditures for producers' durable equipment, prices continued upward throughout the year for these groups of machinery. Prices for agricultural machinery Increased in the first half of the year, declined slightly, when new orders and sales dropped off along with declining farm income,but recovered to a level almost 1 percent above a year earlier by December. A substantial recovery from relatively low 1958 levels was made in motor vehicle produc tion and sales in 1959. Nevertheless, the 1959 totals did not equal those of the 3 years preceding 1958, and with the introduction of new 1960 models in October 1959, average prices for standard passenger cars and motor Lrucks declined slightly. In earlier years, prices had usually risen semewhat with the Introduction of new models In the fall. By December, average prices for motor vehicles were 1 percent below a year earlier, but average prices for the year, which reflect prices of the 1959 as well as the 1960 models, remained well above corresponding indexes for 1958— 2.2 per cent. This was, nevertheless, the smallest annual average increase in moLor vehicle prices since 1954. The relatively stable or slightly lower prices of 1960 models reflect to some degree the fact that for many models no significant changes were made in engineering and design. In addition, the 1959 automobile market was unsettled by continued competition with foreign make cars and the introduction in the fall of domestic compact cars. 2 / The steel strike began on July 15, and production was resumed under an injunction, in accordance with the Taft-Hartley Act (Labor— Management Relations Act, 1947, P.L. 101, 80th Cong., 1st Sess.) on November 7. The work stoppage in copper was virtually industrywide by the last week in August 1959, and continued throughout the year. 2 After a snail decline In 1958, the price rise far metals and metal products In 1959 averaged about the sane as in 1957, approximately 2 percent— substantially less than the Increases of 1955 and 1956 when expenditures for business capital goods were accelerating sharply. The alltine peak in average prices was reached In November 1959, when the price Index for netals and netal products stood at 155.8 percent of the 1947-49 average--the highest price level relative to this base period of any of the connodlty groups In the Wholesale Price Index. As In nost years of rising prices for netals and sharply fluctuating netal market condi tions, the prices for scrap netals, which are exceedingly sensitive to changes In demand and supply, increased the nost. Thus, 1959 prices for iron and steel scrap averaged 6.8 percent above those of 1958, and non ferrous scrap prices were13.4 percent higher than In 1958. Tn general, prices for nonferrous netals and products increased more than those for the ferrous. In facL, prices for steel nlll products moved little during the year, the nost recent industrywide price increase having taken effect In August 1958. In December 1959, reported prices for domestically produced steel nlll products were the sane as a year earlier, even though heavy anticipatory buying of Iron and steel and their products took place In the first half of the year before the strike in July, and stocks were rapidly reduced in the last half when the strike was underway. In contrast, the acceleration of copper purchases in anticipation of a midyear work stoppage in the copper Industry served to bid up prices, already under the Influence of heavy demand resulting fron the high level of domestic uses. Copper prices rose 8.6 percent between January and June 1959. During July and August, a more optimistic view of labor-management negotiations as well as the record levels of production and stocks resulted In a 4.7-percent drop. After operations were suspended in most ofthe domestic copper industry in August, prices rose again. Prices of primary copper increased from 29 cents a pound in December 1958 and January 1959 to 33 cents by the end of the year--the highest price since early 1957. Prices for mill shapes and wire and cable followed the trend of primary copper prices and by December 1959 were between 3 and 7 percent above a year earlier. Prices for lumber and wood products in 1959 were Influenced primarily by a record volume of expenditures for residential building. The dollar volume of housing put in place held up throughout most of the year, even after housing starts began to drop sharply In July. In addition, other less important wood-using activities expanded during the recovery from the 1957-58 recession. The 6.9-percent increase in average annual prices for lumber and wood products from 1958 exceeded the 1958-59 price rise for all other commodity groups in the Wholesale Price Index, except for hides, skins, leather, and leather products. Host of the rise occurred in the first half of the year, as construction activity gained momentum. By June, the index for lumber and wood products reached a record 128.9, slightly exceeding the previous peak in 1956, and 10.7 percent above the figure for June 1958. Price declines during the latter half of 1959, the period when lumber prices normally drop somewhat, nevertheless left the index in December about 4 percent above a year earlier. Nondurable commodities The 13.6»percent average advance in prices for hides, skins, leather, and leather products was the largest since 1951, during the Korean Conflict period. Tn 1959, as in 1951, a sharp reduc tion in the number of cattle and calves slaughtered, and consequently in the supply of hides and leather, occurred simultaneously with a strong Increase in demand. The 1959 index average--114.3 (1947-49a100)--was the highest on record, with the exception of Lhe 120.3 reached in 1951. Prices for Lextiles and apparel also responded to Increased demand in 1959, when, in addition, production was limited to 5-day working schedules in some Important sectors of the industry, so that Inventories tended to remain relatively low. The doisinant Influence in the 1959 price uptrend was the sharply advancing cost of coLLon fabrics, particularly cotton broadwoven goods, for which prices rose continuously throughout, the year. However, the 1959 price rise occurred for virtually all kinds of lextiles and apparel, and was Lhe only one of any consequence since 1951, after which the average price level receded appreciably. The posL-World War IT low (93.1 percent of the 1947-49 average) was reached in November 1958. After that prices rose 3.9 percent to the 1959 peak (96.7) in December. This was still below prices shorlly after World War II in the 1947-49 period (100) and in the Korean Conflict year 1951 (110.6). 3 During the latter two perieds #f relatively high prices for textiles and apparel, the industry net extraordinarily heavy demand with capacity utilization of plant, a large proportion of which was relatively obsolete.. Production costs were soaring. But, because business was booking also, the longrun Instabilities and uncertainties In the highlv competitive industries encompassed In textile and apparel production were temporarily abated. Prices for rubber and rubber products as a group averaged about tho same as in 1958, masking strong price Increases and declines for some Important rubber cenewdlties. Prices for tires and tubes In December averaged 13.5 percent lower than a year earlier chiefly because the prices of first line tires had been reduced In the summer to attract buyers of lower quality tires in the tire replacement market. At the same time, prices for crude natural rubber had Increased 37.2 percent. Synthetic rubber prices continued the relative stability of the past several years. The strong price uptrend for crude natural rubber marked a reversal from the declines of the previous 3 years. It resulted from sharply rising consumption In the United States and a sub stantial increase In purchases by the Communist countries. In addition, world production did not quite match consumption In 1959, although both were at record levels. Prices for wastepaper rise and fall sharply with shifts in business activity. Wastepaper prices rose 27.4 percent on an annual average basis from 1958 to 1959 in the major Eastern market. Increased demand for its end-products such as paperboard and roofing boosted prices for wastepaper beginning in the latter half of 1958 as recovery from recession got underway. Although business expansion tended to generate Increased supplies, seasonal difficulties in collection In the early part of 1959 gave added impetus to the upward price movement, resulting in a rise of over 20 percent In the wastepaper index by the end of the first quarter. Expanded inventories and collections as the year progressed as well as some slackening In business activity led to a drop by the end of the year which nevertheless left the wastepaper index more than 14 percent above the level of a year ago. On the other hand, prices moved up less than 1 percent, on the average, in 1959, for paper and con verted paper and paperboard products, despite broadly expanding uses and requirements and record high production during the year. Overcapacity in most parts of the industry, and, in some cases, competition from substitute products tendered price increases despite higher production costs. Among the few price declines for industrial commodities in 1959, the most significant were for petroleum products. With the exception of an unusually sharp increase in prices for these coHOdities in 1957, when the Sues Canal was closed and export and domestic demand rose precipi tously, prices were on a general downtrend after 1956. This decline was associated not only with a reduction in export demand, but also with a slower rate of increase in total domestic needs in the face of surplus and increasing refining capacity. The process of substituting petroleum pro ducts for coal in household heating and for railroad fuel had been largely completed by the middle of the decade and some of the sizable gains in consumption of natural gas have been at the expense of refined products. In addition, in 1959, heightened industrial demand for fuel in the first half of the year was substantially reduced in the last half during the steel strike. The average price decline from 1958 of almost 1 percent for petroleum and products (including a 3.4-percent drop for crude oil) occurred even though production controls by state regulatory bodies continued and mandatory import quotas of crude and residual oil were introduced beginning with the second quarter of 1959. Gasoline, the most important segment of the petroleum and products group of commodities priced for the WPI, accounted for a substantial share of the 1959 price decline for the group, especially in the latter half of the year when gasoline prices dropped to the lowest level in almost a decade. Prices for most other petroleum products, and for crude petroleum, declined also in 1959. 4 Agricultural and Fuad Prices Thu average price Index fur f a n pruduets la 1959, at 89.1 percent uf the 1947-49 average represented a 6.1 percent drup frua 1958 and was lever than In vest pastwar years.

This difference In relative pusltlun between the tve Indexes, cempared with 1947-49, resulted In part from bumper f a n craps In recent years, and the auch greater Increases In preductlvlty In agriculture than fur the n u n f a n secter uf the ecuneay. 3/ In general, except fur textile pruduets and apparel, f a n pruduets are the unly aajur cuapenent In the Vhelesale Price Index fur which prices have declined In the pestvar perlud; and saeng the aajur greups fur which prices have risen, the grevp uf prucessed feuds has shewn the saallest Increase. In 1959, the chief cause ef the price declines fur the f a n pruduets and prucessed feuds was a sharp rise In the supplies ef llvesteck and neats. Prices fur suae ether cuanudltles declined appreciably also--e.g., eggs; fresh, dried, canned, and frusen fruits; and the fats and ells.

By December 1959, price decreases frua a year earlier ranged frua 2.3 percent fur fresh fruits td abuut 25 percent fur dried fruits and fur frusen fruits and juices. The sharp price declines fur the latter tve types ef pru cessed fruits resulted chiefly frua a substantial Increase In the eutput uf dried prunes and raisins in 1959 ever the relatively small vuluae preduced In 1958, and a recurd pack uf frusen erange euneentrate.

Because of its broad scope, it is often used as a general purpose index. However, it is made up of many special groupings or combinations which serve special purposes. In addition, a number of separate special purpose indexes are issued. 2/ "Wholesale,*' as used in the title of the index, refers to sales in quantities, not prices received by wholesalers, jobbers, or distributors. The index does not measure the price movements of retail transactions, transactions for services (except gas and electricity), construction, real estate, transportation, and securities. Although the sample of priced items does not include printing and publishing, the values for the commodity segment of the industry were included in the weight universe for the first time in 1958. These values were assigned to the pulp, paper, and allied products major group, since the sample of priced items for that group will be expanded to include commodities from the printing and publishing industry. However, the prices of many of the raw and finished materials used in construction or in printing and publishing--lumber, bricks, structural steel, millwork, paper, etc.--are reflected in the index. Selection of Sample The price universe for the index is comprised of all commodities produced or imported for sale in the United States. A sample of approximately 1,900 priced items is chosen to furnish an adequate measure of average price changes in the primary markets of the United States. A relatively small sample of priced items would serve this purpose reasonably well. A larger sample is chosen in order to measure price change for the many subgroupings of the index used for special purposes. The monthly Wholesale Price Index, therefore, is based upon a sample of commodities, a sample of specifications for the commodities, and a sample of reporting sources for the specifications. These samples are selected after consultation with trade associations or with other representatives of industry. Generally, the commodities chosen include those with the largest shipment values as shown by the industrial censuses, although commodities with smaller shipment values are included if their price movements are sufficiently unlike those of other commodities. The commodities selected are rather broadly defined in the Census of Manufactures. For example, "jelly, pure, grape" and "unalloyed copper plate, sheet, and strip" are designa tions of Census product codes (7-digit). In order to assure that the measure of price changes reflects only price movement without reflecting the influence of changes in quantity, quality, terms of delivery, or type of buyer, it is necessary to define the items specifically, such as: "Jelly, pure, grape, 10 oz. jar, 2 dozen jars to case, in lots of more than 25 cases, manufacturer to jobber, f.o.b. distribution point, per case," and "copper sheet, cold rolled, 16 oz., 24 inches x 96 inches, in lots of 5,000 to 10,000 lb., manufacturer to distributor*8 warehouse, f.o.b. mill with freight allowed, per pound." 1/ For a detailed description of the Wholesale Price Index, see Techniques of Preparing Major BLS Statistical Series (BLS Bull. 1168), chap. 10. 2 / Refer to page 16. 7 Thus, a sample of specifications is chosen to represent the commodity. The specifi cation describes the characteristics of the commodity which define quality and other price determining factors. The specifications chosen are usually those which describe the largest dollar volume of sales for the commodity. Finally, the reporter sample is selected to give representation by size of company and by geographic distribution of the industry whenever necessary. In all cases, a minimum of three reporters is sought to permit publication of both prices and item indexes. Above this minimum, the number of reporters selected depends on the variability of pricing practices among individual fins, on the number of f i n s producing the item, and on the geo graphic distribution of the industry. Prices The prices used in constructing the index are those which apply as nearly as possible to the first significant commercial transaction in the United States. Later trans actions for the same item at other stages in the distribution cycle are not included. However, as raw materials are transformed into semifinished and finished goods, they are represented according to their importance in primary markets. Most prices are obtained by mail directly from the manufacturer or other producer. A few are reported by trade associations, and some are taken from authoritative trade publi cations or from other Government agencies which collect price quotations as part of their regular work. Table 4 of this volume shows the number of price series from each type of source as of January 1959. Data for 1947-58 are shown in Bulletin 1257, Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes, 1958. Prices obtained from manufacturers or other producers are subject to the applicable trade and quantity discounts. 3/ Cash and seasonal discounts are deducted from the price when it is determined that most buyers avail themselves of the reduced prices. Excise taxes are excluded from the price. Closeout sales prices are normally not used. Free deals or allow ances are reflected when possible in arriving at the net price to be included in the index calculation. Nominal prices are used when they are indicative of the market situation and no other price is available. Before 1952, prices were monthly averages of 1-day-a-week prices. Thereafter, prices have been for the most part, those of the Tuesday of the week which includes the 15th of the month. However, for some commodities, another day may be selected as a more represen tative trading day, e.g., many farm products are priced as of Monday. Whenever possible, commodities are priced at the production point or at the central marketing point. Prices at delivery point are used only when it is the practice of the industry to quote prices on a delivered basis. The index is intended to measure price changes between two periods of time, without reflecting the influence of changes in quality, quantity, terms of delivery, level of distri bution, unit priced, or source of price. To accomplish this, the commodities included in the index are defined by precise specifications and the index calculations between two periods of time are based on the relative changes in prices of items with identical or nearly identical specifications. 3/ For a description of the study of discounts used in the Wholesale Price Index, see Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes. 1958 (BLS Bull. 1257), Supplementary Inquiry on Wholesale Price Reports, p. 10. 8 Substitutions of Items Adherence to specification is especially difficult in a period when there are many changes in the goods marketed, including new items coming on the market and old items disappearing. This is particularly true of manufactured products, such as machinery, house hold appliances, and furniture. It is also true for nonmanufactured products. Fruits, for example, are marketed in different size containers or grading standards are changed; steel scrap is sold subject to different delivery terms; market grades of livestock are changed. When new commodities are introduced or when specifications of existing commodities are changed, every effort is made to see that only price changes influence the index. The method of introducing an altered article or a change in selling terms is called a substitu tion. A substitution may be made by direct comparison or by linking. Each time a change in specification occurs, the Bureau appraises the significance of the change to ascertain whether an actual price change accompanied the specification change. When it can be determined that the specification change was minor and did not involve price-making factors, the substitution is made by direct comparison. This means that any price change between the old and the new item is reflected in the index. When changes in specification are major and no information can be obtained relative to an actual price change, the substitution is made by linking and no change is reflected in the index. This means that the difference in price level is not permitted to affect the index level. Prices before and after the link, however, are not comparable and the decimal part of the code number is changed to show noncomparability. See page 13 for further explanation. Some durable goods, such as automobiles, have periodic model changes. Price increases of these goods caused by the addition of features formerly sold at extra cost are not reflected in the index. Neither does the index show the effect of price decreases which are achieved by dropping equipment which was formerly a standard feature of such a product. When there are no additions or substitutions of equipment and the new model is reasonably comparable with the old model, a direct comparison is made between the prices of the old and the new models, and the difference in price is reflected in the index. If it is determined that a major change was made in the specification but that no real price change occurred other than that attributed to the specification change, the sub stitution is made by linking. The addition or deletion of items from the index, the addition or the deletion of a company from a composite series, or the change in thesource of a price is made by linking and no change is reflected in the index level. When a company that has been reporting prices for a commodity of a specified description discontinues production of that specific item or when the specification becomes unimportant in production value, the Bureau collects price data for a similar item or for one which has replaced the original. This substituted item may or may not vary considerably from the discontinued model. Prices are obtained for both the new and the discontinued series for a 1-month overlap period. If production of an item has been discontinued before its successor is on the market, the Bureau obtains an estimated overlap period price for linking. By means of this overlap price, the change between any two successive periods can be measured for identical specifications. change. Often, it can be established that a real price change accompanied the specification In such cases, the price in the link month of substitution is estimated so that the 9 amount of the actual price change is reflected in the index J>ut any price difference which is due to quality change is not reflected. 4/ Collection of Data The initial collection of data for each commodity specification from each reporting source is usually made by means of a personal visit to the reporting company. At that time, detailed information is obtained concerning the pricing structure of the industry and that for the commodity. This includes information such as: 1. Price-making factors for the commodity. 2. Distribution of sales to the various classes of buyers. 3. The type and amount of discounts or allowances to each class of buyer. 4. The normal size of sale (quantity) to each class of buyer. 5. The terms of delivery to each class of buyer. 6. The usual method of effecting a price change. 7. Applicable excise tax. 8. The market area served for each commodity and for each class of buyer. 9. Type of packaging for each commodity. 10. Means of delivery for each commodity. After regular reporting has been established, prices are collected by mail, usually on a monthly basis, by means of a shuttle schedule. Reporting companies are asked to report all changes in list price, excise tax, discounts or allowances, description of the commodity specification, terms of delivery, and class of buyer. This is necessary in order to insure the reflection in the index of all real price changes but to exclude the effect of a change in quality or a change in the selling terms for the commodity. Weight Universe The Wholesale Price Index is calculated as a weighted average of price changes. The Weights represent the total net selling value of commodities produced and processed in this 4/ For exasiple: The September price for a specification for a machinery item used in the calculation of the index was $2,347.50. In October, a new model of the machine was introduced, priced at $2,562.60. The new model had a more powerful motor and larger tires valued at $186.20 more than the value of those used on the former model. For linking, the September price of the new model was estimated at $2,533.70 ($2,347.50 September price of former model plus $186.20 increase in value of motor and tires). The price comparison between September and October was based on the estimated September price of $2,533.70 and the reported October price of $2,562.60. Thus a 1.1-percent price increase was reflected in the October index, but the change in price, owing to the quality improvement (more powerful motor and larger tires) was not reflected. 10 country (or imported for consumption), and flowing into primary markets. 5/ The values are f.o.b. production point and are exclusive of excise taxes. The value of interplant transfers, military products, and goods sold at retail directly from producing establishments are also excluded. The weight universe includes values from industries classified as manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, quarrying, well operation, and gas and electricity public utilities. It includes values for goods competitive with those produced in the producing sector of the economy, such as waste and scrap materials. All systematic production is included but individually priced items, such as works of art, are excluded. Civilian goods normally purchased by the Government are included, but production of military goods is excluded. Sales by the Government are excluded because the Wholesale Price Index refers to the private producingsector of the economy. However, Government sales of electric power are included because they are considered competitive with free market sales. The import values include imports from foreign countries, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, and estimates of important items from Hawaii and Alaska. In the next weight revision when 1958 value data will be introduced, the net selling value of commodities produced or processed in Alaska and Hawaii will be included as domestic values, and imports into those States from foreign countries will be classified as imports. Each commodity price series in the index is representative of a class of prices and is assigned its own weight (the shipment value of the commodity), plus the weights of other commodities not directly priced in the index but whose prices are known or assumed to move similarly. Thus, for some commodities--such as ships and railroad rolling stock, and some machinery, which is largely custom made--it is not possible to obtain direct measures of price movement. The weights for such items are assigned to other commodities or groups of commodities for which prices are available. Usually, this assignment is made to priced commodities which have a similar manufacturing process. In so doing, it is assumed that the movements of prices for these commodities are more accurately estimated by changes in prices of items to which their weights are assigned than they would be by changes in the all commodities index. Weights based upon the industrial censuses for 1947 were used in the index from January 1947 through December 1954. Adjustments were made in January 1955 to aline the major group weight totals with the 1952-53 average shipment values. The new weights introduced in January 1958 were based upon the industrial censuses for 1954. 6/ Each time the results of a comprehensive industrial Census become available, the weighting structure of the index is revised. The next weight revision will incorporate data from the 1958 Censuses of Manufactures and Mineral Industries. New weights are introduced in December. The reweighted indexes after December are made comparable with indexes for earlier periods by a process of linking . 5/ The revised Wholesale Price Inde^ introduced in January 1952, but calculated retroactively to 1947, represented a changed concept in weighting structure. Priced items in the former index (1926=100) were weighted only by their own market value (quantity marketed times price). 6/ For a description of the January 1958 weight revision, see BLS Bull. 1257, op. cit., p. 14. Index Formula The index is based on the formula: (I)r ^ = J ^ ^ a ^ i / where the (P©)'s are prices in the base period, (?i)vs are prices in the current period, and the (9a)*s are quantities of commodities implicit in the value data. In practice, the index is calculated on a variation of this formula as a weighted average of price relatives for each item: \ £ -J ____ _ Ri “ Ri - l E qaPi - l f ___ -F T T 7 E qapi - l where the (R i-1) is the index for the preceding period, the (Pi-l)'s are prices in the preceding period, and the (4a)'s and (P^j's are the same as in formula (1). Thus, in each current calculation of the index, the effective weights which are applied to monthly price relatives are average values of transactions in 1934, adjusted for price change to the preceding period. It should be noted that when substitute specifications are used in the index calculation, this formula is not a precise representation. The price relative Pi /^i-l becomes P^ / Rt-l, where the Pi and the Pi-i are prices of the substitute in the current and preceding periods, respectively. That part of the price change due to the specification substitution is therefore not reflected in the index movement. It may be noted further that when index weights are revised, the indicated calculation within the brackets £ / V i -1 E v i- i for the first calculation of the index after revision is based on the revised weight structure, while the index for the preceding period (R£_^) is the result of calculations before weight revision. The weight adjustment, therefore, is not reflected in the index movement except insofar as it affects future calculations. Publication and Correction Policy Publication of Prices and Indexes The Wholesale Price Index data are published in four forms: 1. Monthly press releases and reports. 2. Annual or other periodic bulletins. 3. Tabulations of historical series. 4. Tables in the Monthly Labor Review. The first publication of wholesale price data in the press releases and reports are considered preliminary and are so identified. This is necessary because individual reports are often not received in time to be included in the first calculation. Preliminary publica tion is limited to index numbers. Preliminary prices are not published. Final publication of monthly indexes and prices accompany the publication of preliminary indexes for the succeeding period. Annual average indexes for groups, subgroups, product classes, and special groupings are published as preliminary as soon as possible after December data have 12 become final. Annual average indexes and prices are published as final in the bulletins on Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes covering 1 or more years. Monthly prices published by the Bureau are averages of prices obtained directly from reporting firms or from secondary sources, such as trade or Government publications. Monthly price* are not published: (1) When the average price is based on reports from fewer than three companies; (2) for seasonal commodities for those months in which they are not on the market; and (3) if such publication might disclose the activities of an individual firm. Annual average prices for other-than-seasonal items are based on 10 or more monthly figures published for the same specification. Annual average prices for seasonal items may be based on fewer than 10 published monthly figures. Annual average indexes are based on the published monthly indexes. New indexes generally are not introduced into publications until at least a year's data are available. New indexes for individual commodities or for commodity groupings are introduced only once a year--in the final January calculation, and with January of the year of introduction as the base period. When prices are obtained for earlier periods, item indexes are calculated and are available on request. Comparability of Prices and Indexes Noncomparability in the price series is shown in the code number by the addition of digits after a decimal (e.g., 01-31-01.01). Each successive break in tnn same series is numbered consecutively (e.g., 01-31-01.02. 01-31-01.03. etc.). Such prices are not comparable with prices quoted for earlier periods because there has been a break in the series resulting from a change in the reporter sample, a modification in the specification, or a change in the unit of quotation, or in the delivery terms. However, the price indexes for the individual commodities are adjusted so that they are continuous and comparable, regardless of breaks in the series of prices. Specifications. Specification changes during 1959 are shown for each major group in the appropriate section of this bulletin. The specifications represent the composite of the several reporter series included in the average price. Where a specification lists more than one class of buyer or more than one delivery term, the reporter series are not identical. One company's price may be to the jobber, f.o.b. plant; another company's price may be to the wholesaler, f.o.b. plant with freight allowance. The published specification is made broad enough to cover all of the series included in the average price. A specification change not accompanied by a code change indicates that the change was of a minor nature and prices are comparable before and after the change. Sometimes the decimal part of a code number may be changed and no change in specification is indicated. In this case, a change has been made in source of the price by adding or dropping a reporter series, or the use of an additional discount, previously in effect but not used, has been initiated in the calculation of the index. Prices before and after the change are not comparable. Correcting Errors in Published Price Indexes and Prices Sometimes an error in a reported price or in a calculation is found after the prices and indexes have been issued as final. Corrections of previously published prices and indexes are made under the following circumstances: Corrections in Prices or Item Indexes. A correction of less than 1 percent in a price or in an item index is not published. An error of 1 percent or more in a price or in an item index is corrected and a corrected figure is published in the next subsequent release which normally carries the series affected. When corrections are made in prices, correspond ing corrections are made in the item indexes. 13 Corrections in Summary Level Indexes. A correction which would cause a change of not more than one-tenth of an index point in any grouping index is not published. Adjustment for such errors is made in calculating the current indexes in the release immediately follow ing the discovery of the error by showing the full amount of the change in the current period A correction which would require a change of two-tenths or more of an index point in a group, subgroup, product class, stage of processing, durability of product, or any other special index but not more than one-tenth of an index point in the all commodities index is made in the published figures for the grouping and carried with appropriate explanation in the release immediately following the discovery of the error. An error of no more than one-tenth of an index point in the all commodities index is not corrected but adjustment for the error is made in the calculation of the current month index. An error which affects the published all commodities index by two-tenths or more of an index point is very rare. If such as error does occur, the Bureau considers the statistical, economic, and other factors involved to determine whether to correct the previously published index or to adjust for the error in calculating the current index number. Relative Importance of Wholesale Price Index Components The relative importance of an item represents its basic value weight used in the index multiplied by the relative of price change between the weight date to a later date (December 1958, for example) and the result expressed as a percentage of the total for all commodities or for the major group. Changes in relative importance of an item result from (1) weight revisions such as those of January 1955 and January 1958; (2) minor weight adjustments to take account of the addition of new items or the deletion of an item; and (3) different rates of price change among the various items. If there were no weight revisions or adjustments, and if the prices of all items changed at the same rate, their relative importance in the index would not change. The relative importance figure for a commodity represents the value of the commodity itself plus the value of imputed commodities (unpriced commodities assumed to have price movements similar to those of the priced item). Table A shows the relative importance of the major groups after each of the three latest comprehensive weight revisions. Data for items based on the 1954 values introduced in January 1958 are shown in table 5 of this bulletin. Data for items based on earlier weight revisions may be found in earlier bulletins. 7/ Table 5 of this bulletin shows relative importance of items in the Wholesale Price Index as of December 1958 and December 1959 based on the 1954 values introduced in January 1958 but incorporating changes made as of January 1959. Changes are described in the separate chapters of this bulletin. In addition, table 5 shows relative importance as of December 1959 based on 1954 values introduced in January 1958 but incorporating changes made in January 1960 These changes are described in the February 1960 monthly report, Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes.

Index numbers for 1959 appear in the summary section of this bulletin. Construction Materials Index. This index, formerly titled Building Materials, consists of a grouping of selected components of the comprehensive Wholesale Price Index. From 1947 through 1957, it is combined with special weights relating to the use of the included commodities in construction. Beginning in January 1958, the weighting structure was changed to conform to that of the comprehensive Wholesale Price Index. The composition of this index is described in an earlier publieation.12/ Index numbers for 1959 appear in the summary section of this bulletin. The special index for all foods (1947-49-100) has been extended back to 1926 by linking with the former index for foods; and the special index for construction materials has been extended back to 1926 by linking with the former index for building materials. The total steel mill products index has been extended back to 1939 by linking with the combined movement of the steel mill products items in the former index. These data are available on request. The "links" were made by M a n s of conversion factors based on the old and the new series as of January 1947. 8 / BLS Bull. 1214, op. cit., pp. 15-22. 9/ BLS Bull. 1235, op. cit., pp. 11-14. 10/ BLS

It took the weight of rayon marquisette (code 03-33-11) which was discontinued in January 1959. This change did not affect the relative importance of items in the product class. Fur coats (code 03-51-32) was discontinued in April 1959 and the weight was moved by an estimated price based on the price for fur stoles. The number of items by subgroups as of January 1959 was as follows: Code Grouping 03 03-1 03-2 03-3 03-4 03-5 03-6 03-7 Textile products and apparel — -----Cotton products---------- ------------------— --- ------Wool products---- ------------— --*------------ ----------Manmade fiber textile p roducts----------------------Silk p roducts----- -— ------------------ ----------------A p p a r e l ...................................................

FUEL, POWER, AND LIGHTING MATERIALS Description of Fuel, Power, and Lighting Materials Group Index 1/ There were no major changes in the group in 1959. In order to adapt the data to calcula tion by the electronic computer, seroes appearing in the fourth digit of all commodity codes were changed to "l." Thus, all itesM in subgroups 05-2 (coke) and 05-4 (electric power) were recoded. Liquefied petroleum gas, Houston (code 05-32-02) was discontinued in April 1959. The weight was assigned to liquefied petroleum gas, Oklahoma (code 05-32-03). The number of items by subgroups as of January 1959 was as follows: Code 05 05-1 05-2 05-3 05-4 05-5 Grouping Fuel, power, and lighting materials--------- -— ------C o a l .................................................

CHEMICALS AND ALLIED PRODUCTS GROUP INDEX Description of Chemicals and Allied Products Group Index If A number of important changes were made in this group index in January 1959. In order to adapt the data to calculation by the electronic computer, zeroes appearing in the fourth digit of all commodity codes were changed to 1. Thus all items in subgroup 06-4 (fats and oils, inedible) were recoded. In addition to the introduction and deletion of series described below, the specifica tions for a number of commodities were revised to a more representative grade and the specifica tions for dyes were rewritten to include the new color index classification of the Society of Colorists. The series for shellac and turpentine were transferred to the organic chemicals product class from the paint materials product class. Methyl ethyl ketone, formerly classified in the organic chemicals product class, was reinstated but transferred to the paint materials product class. The series for calcium carbonate, pentaerythritol, and xylene were introduced into the paint materials product class but were also retained in the industrial chemicals classification. Ammonium nitrate was Introduced into the explosives product class but was also retained in the fertilizer materials classification. Weights, however, were not duplicated. There was no change in the sample of items priced for prepared paints but the weights for the individual series were revised. The series for hydrogen peroxide (code 06-31-39) was discontinued and its weight was assigned to move with the product class. For other commodities, weight assignments were made by a reassignment for weights in the entire product class. Changes in the list of commodities are shown in the following table: Commodity Code Hydrofluoric acid ---- — ----Alumina, calcined ------- ---Acrylonitrile ---------------Benzene hexachleride -------Coal tar p i t c h ---- — -----— Dodeeylbenzene — -— -- — ----Dioetyl phthalate — --- -— — 06-11-04 06-11-10 06-12-12 06-12-26 06-12-36 06-12-38 06-12-42 06-12-53 06-12-54 06-12-58 06-12-59 06-12-60 06-12-62 06-12-64 06-12-74 January January January January January January January January January January January January January January January 1959 1959 1959 1959 1959 1959 1959 1959 1959 1959 1959 1959 1959 1959 1959 Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced Introduced 06-12-88 06-12-90 January 1959 January 1959 Introduced Introduced Dye, Dye, Dye, Dye, Dye, C.I.

In order to adapt the data to calcula tion by the electronic computer, zeroes appearing in the fourth digit of all commodity codes were changed to "1." Thus, all items in subgroups 09-1 (woodpulp) and 09-2 (wastepaper) were recoded. In January 1959, the two series for insulation board (codes 09-61-01 and 09-61-02) were discontinued. They were replaced by three new series for insulation board (codes 09-61-03, 09-61-05, and 09-61-07). The changes in relative importance caused by the change in sample are shown in the following table: Percent of all items in total index (based on 1954 values) Commodity 1 / Code 09-61 09-61-01 09-61-02 09-61-03 09-61-05 09-61-07 Insulation Insulation Insulation Insulation Insulation Insulation — board — -- — — — — — — board -— -- — -- — ---- ---b o a r d --- ------ — — — — board, 25/32 inch -— — — — board, 1 i n c h -- --- — — — board, ceiling tile, 1/2 inch Dec. 1958 revised weights Dee. 1958 former weights Dec. 1957 former weights 0.121 — — .052 .033 .036 0.121 .061 .060 — — -- 0.119 .060 .059 — — -- 1/ See page 198 for complete specifications* The number of items by subgroups as of January 1959 was as follows: Code 09 09-1 09-2 09-3 09-4 09-5 09-6 Grouping Pulp, paper, and allied products — -----Woodpulp..................................................

Date of change SECTION 10. METALS AND METAL PRODUCTS Description of Mstsls and Metal Products Group Index 1/ There wore no major changes In the group in 1959. In order to adapt the data to calcula tion by the electronic computer, zeroes appearing in the fourth digit of all commodity codes were changed to "1." Thus, all items in subgroup 10-3 (metal containers) were recoded. The title of subgroup 10-5 (plumbing equipment) was changed to "Plumbing fixtures and brass fittings." There was no break in the series and the data are comparable. In January 1959, prices for steel scrap at San Francisco replaced prices at Los Angeles.
