PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 These additional references supplement the " Select list of refer- 
 ences on the cost of living and prices" published in the spring of 
 1910. That such a supplement was needed is very forcibly shown by 
 the fact that the additional references make up a list fully as long 
 as the original list, notwithstanding that our rule of exclusion was 
 more rigidly enforced. The interest in the subject is universal. Not 
 only have national, state, and provincial govermments published docu- 
 ments on the subject, but some of the most valuable studies have been 
 prepared by municipalities; for example, Amsterdam (item 463), 
 Dresden (383), Halle (394), Moscow (468), St. Petersburg (469), 
 Paris (21), Stockholm (479), and Trieste (349a and b). These offer 
 concrete examples of actual conditions with statistics of special inter- 
 est to the serious student. 
 
 For the United States, the recent publications of the Bureau of 
 Labor are of the greatest importance, especially the new " Retail 
 prices and cost of living series," which gives in one place the informa- 
 tion formerly scattered through various numbers of the Bulletin. 
 The four volume report of the " Investigation relative to wages and 
 prices of commodities," issued by the Select committee of the Senate 
 on wages and prices of commodities, in 1911, still remains one of the 
 most useful sources of information. Mention should also be made of 
 the Export made by the Board of Trade of London on " Cost of living 
 in American towns " (reprinted as 62d Cong., 1st. sess. Senate Docu- 
 ment 22). The latest statistics on the population and food supply 
 of the United States will be found in the Abstract of the thirteenth 
 census recently published by the Bureau of the Census. In connec- 
 tion with this subject, Mr. E. Dana Durand, the Director of the 
 Census, has prepared a paper with the title " Significant results of 
 the census " which will probably be published in an early number of 
 the Century magazine. It deals with the failure of agricultural 
 products to keep pace with the increase of the population. 
 
 In this supplement two new features have been introduced with a 
 special view to aiding investigators. One is a list of the sources 
 where current prices of commodities are to be found, and the other 
 is a tabular statement of the sources of the Index numbers of all the 
 more important countries.

VI PEEFATOEY NOTE 
 
 Just before going to press we note a n^w index number for 
 United States published in the New York Times Annalist, based on 
 twenty-five food commodities representing a theoretical family s to 
 budget. J, 
 
 I take special pleasure in acknowledging the hearty cooj^eration 
 the officials of the Bureau of Labor, particularly ]Miss ^I- A. - 
 thews, the Librarian, and of Dr. H. J. Harris, formerly of the Bureau 
 of Labor, and now Chief of the Division of Documents in the Library 
 of Congress. Dr. Harris was instrumental in securing a number o 
 valuable additions to the list of sources of current prices of com- 
 modities.

 ber (1885=100) the coefficient and weighted index. Facing

 Soetbeer, Adolf. Soetbeer's Index numbers covering 114 
 articles, from 1841 to 1885, subsequently extended to 1891, 
 by Dr. Heinz. Included in Taussig's translation of Soetbeer's 
 work which is printed as Appendix D. of 50th Cong., 1st 
 sess., Senate ex. doc. 34 (serial no. 2504), p. 57-280, for index 
 numbers, see p. 229-255; also printed as ap Appendix xvi 
 to the Appendix of the final report of the [British] Royal 
 commission on gold and silver. London, 1888, p. 139- 
 244. (Sessional papers, 1888, v. 45. C. 5512-1.) Aver- 
 age prices of 100 articles at Hamburg during the period from 
 1851 to 1885 with corresponding index numbers, as ascer- 
 tained by the Bureau of trade statistics at Hamburg, fol- 
 lowed by similar figures for 14 British manufactured articles 
 and a table covering all 114 articles. No exact continuation 
 of Soetbeer's figures has been possible owing to the change 
 in relations between Hamburg and the German Empire which 
 took place in 1888. Two numbers have, however, been con- 
 structed on the basis of the Hamburg prices. First by Dr. 
 Heinz which is now continued from year to year in 
 Hamburgs Handel und Schifffalirt, published by the Han- 
 delsstatistisches Bureau of Hamburg, second by Prof. Conrad 
 of Halle, covering 47 articles, published in Jahrbiicher fur 
 Nationalokonomie und Statistik, (1907-1912) 3d ser. v. 24: 
 638-651, V. 34: 793-806, v. 38: 64-78, v. 39: 676-691, v. 42: 
 48-64. The first series of the index numbers covers the period 
 extending from 1847 to 1901, afterwards continued at intervals 
 to date.

 GERMANY— Continued. 
 
 Beginning with the Feb. 1879 number of the "Monatshefte zur 
 Statistik des Deutschen Reichs," pubUshed by the Statistisches 
 Amt, monthly index numbers covering 28 articles, afterwards 
 increased to 45, have been published. 
 
 The "Monatshefte" formed part of the "Statistik des 
 Deutschen Reichs" from 1877-1884, after the latter date it 
 was published separately until 1891, when it was continued 
 by the "Monatliche Nachweise iiber den auswartigen Handel 
 Deutschlands " and the "Vierteljahrshefte zur Statistik des 
 Deutschen Reichs" in each of which the index numbers are 
 to be found. While wholesale and retail prices are both given 
 the index numbers are confined to the wholesale prices. In 
 later issues of the "Vierteljahrshefte" the tables become very 
 comprehensive, including in the case of wheat flour the daily 
 market price in the chief markets of the world and for the 
 more important food products the prices in upward of 30 
 German cities. 
 
 The foregoing are published in condensed form in the "Sta- 
 tistisches Jahrbuch fiir des Deutschen Reichs, " pubhshed by 
 the same bureau.

 years 1865-1885 was published by R. H. Inglis-Palgrave in 
 the Report of the Royal commission appointed to inquire 
 into the depression of trade and industry, 1886. See 3d
