WASHINGTON, June 2, 1905.—'The
Upward march of wholesale prices con
tinuee. All the principal commodities
controlled by the industrial trusts ad
vanced in cost during the year 1904.
Farm products, foods of practically all
kinds, building materials, cloths and
clothing were all higher at the end of
1904 than in the preceding year, and
some were higher than at any time foi
a period of fifteen years. These and
other interesting facts are put out in a
bulletin just issued by the Bureau of
labor.
'All the agitation against the Beef
Trust, the issuance of injunctions and
: the reporting of indictments against its
officers, ‘have had no influence on the
restless upward trend of prices of food
; supplies controlled by this gigantic trust.
The cost of choice steers last year, for
instance, was about 50 per cent, greater
than it was in 1896. The relative price
of steers during 1904, as compared with j
the average price for the same eoinmo- !
dity during the ten year period. 1890-99,
increased 9.7 per cent. The averages in
other farm products over the average
wholesale prices for the same ten year
period are shown in the following per
centages of increase: Western sheep,
718: native sheep, 10.3; hay. 12.5; hogs,
16.5; barley, 16.9; hides, 24.4; corn, 32.6;
rye, 33.4; oats, 35.8; wheat, 38.3; cot
ton, 55.9; hops, 96.2. The one item in
the list of farm products to show a .de
crease in: the price during this period is
flaxseed, which is 4 per cent, cheaper.
The average increase in the cost of all
farm products was 26.2 per cent.
The wholesale price of a number of
food products last year reached the high
est point touched during fifteen years. |
The cost of Vienna bread' in the New j
York and Washington market was higher
last year than at any time since 1889.
The same thing is true regarding boots
and1 shoes, carpets, cotton flannels, and
cotton thread. Other commodities of
large consumption reached the highest
wholesale prices last )-ear since 1889.
They were overcoatings of kersey stand
ard. bleeched sheetings, brown sheetings, j
women’s dress goods, such as cashmere,
cotton warp and all wool shawls.
Coal was higher in January, 1904, than
Bt any other time during the period under
consideration, and in November last pe
troleum oil reached' new high figures.
Building materials such as brick, white
quartered oak and tar were higher in
1904 than at any time since 1889. The
same statement applies to bedroom fur- 1
niture, kite-lien chairs and smoking to
bacco.
Further considering the 1904 prices as
compared With the average price for the
ten year period. 1890-99, it is found that
last year potatoes were 46.3 per cent,
above the average price; herring, 44.4 per
cent, above; eggs, 35 per cent above; yel
low meal. 31.1 per cent, above; rys flour,
31.1 per cent, above; codfish* 30.4 per
cent above, currants, 30.1 per cent,
above; white meal, 27.8 per cent, above;
winter wheat Hour, 25.5 per pent, above;
spring wheat flour, 25.2 per cent, above.
During this period there were a few de
clines in prices. California raisins drop
ped 1.8 per cent.; New York butter. 2A
per cent.; vinegar, 11 per cent.; dried ap
ples, 39 per cent.; and spieee, 50 per
cent.
