 a The index number of all the groups of articles as given in the table above was 100, for the years 1867-1877. This number is exactly the same as 
 the average number for the twenty ii\ i- years from 1853-1877, during which time the new gold discoveries appear to have had an effect upon 
 
 Therefore a comparison of the aggregate prices of all commoditii in dn year with the eleven years from 1867 to 1877 is equivalent to a comparison 
 
 of the whole twenty-five years from 1853 to 1*77.

 MOVEMENT OF PRICES (SAUERBECK). 
 
 [May, 
 
 The index number for all commodities was 68, against 64 in L898, or 32 per eeni below the standard period 
 
 L867 Is77 1 L4 per cent below the ten years L878 L887, but 3 per cent above the average of the last ten years. 
 
 Is compared with I 398 the advance amounted l" l points (or 6j per cent), while the rise on L896, the lowest year 
 
 on record, was as much a - 7 points (or 1 1 1 per cent I. The rise was .smaller than v as probably expected by many 
 
 and this is explained by the fact that the averaj < I nee for the whole year applied only to materials, 
 
 ami here principally i" minerals, t<> a smaller extent to textiles, and to a very slight extent to sundry materials. 
 
 Articles of food, on the oilier hand, were in the aggregate lower an advantage loubt to consumers and 
 
 were exactly on a level with 1897, so that the advance obtained in L898 was again lost. 
 
 Four articles out of the forty-five contained in my tallies showed records of lowest prices, viz. Brazil coffee, 
 flax, coarse wool, and the import price of tea.

 In this comparison it. must be remembered that minerals had already an advance of 14 per cent in the year 
 1898 against only 3 per cent for textiles. 
 
 In the course of Last year prices of corn remained generally on a low Level, the small wheat crop of the world 
 of 1897 (283 million quarters) having been followed in L898 by the Largest on record (358 million quarters) and in 
 L899 by another good crop (324 million quarters). Meat and butter were somewhat dearer, tho latter being 
 affected by the drought in August. Sugar and the common sort of tea ruled a Little higher than in the preceding 
 year, though both articles are still on a very Low basis, the average import price of all soils of tea imported 
 having been the Lowest on record. Brazil coffee, under the influence of four large crops in succession, was Lower 
 than ever before, Santos touching 25s. per hundredweight in September, but improving again to 32s. toward the 
 end of (lie year. Metals generally readied their highest points bet ween July and < )ctober, but gave way to some, 
 extent later on, while coals obtained almost famine prices at the end of the year and early in L900. The following

 Iron has not been so high since L874, but copper and tin, although very dear, were still higher during the 
 
 speculation in 1887 >>8. 
 
 Among textiles we have to record an advance for cotton, in view of a large consumption and lower estimates 
 of the current crop, but prices during the past year were -till very Low as compared with former periods. Flax 
 touched the lowest price on record, improved gradually, and realized a sharp advance in December. Manila hemp 
 experienced great fluctuations iii conjunction with the policy of opening and again closing the port. The price, 
 was (.' 17 per ton at the end of 1897; £24 LOs. in L898; and about £64 a1 the end of last year, probably the highe t 
 figure on record since 1866. Merino wool, the production of which has declined, owing to a change in breeding 
 and to five years of drought in Australia with great mortality of sheep, advanced over 60 per cent, and has not 
 been so high since 1880, while the bulk of coarse wools occupied the lowest level on record for the greater part 
 of the year, and only Improved to some extent toward the end. Silk was considerably higher. Among sundry 
 materials, hides, tallow, petroleum, various oils, and indigo advanced to some extent. 
 
 The average price of silver was 27-rVd- per ounce, against l'iij [bl. in 1898. It stood at 27-/^1. (index number 
 44.9) at the end of 1898, and with the exception of a moderate speculative movement in April and May, the metal 
 remained remarkably steady and closed at L'7, : ', ; d. per ounce (index number 44.7). The shipments to India and 
 China were large, and Russia purchased also a larger quantity than in the previous year.

 The quarterly numbers show the average of three monthly figures, and by thus eliminating minor fluctua- 
 tions they give a more reliable comparison of the gradual changes of the various groups of commodities. They 
 indicate the low level of articles of food generally, with a falling tendency during the year, and the uninterrupted 
 rise of materials. 
 
 The following figures show in each case the average index numbers of all the forty-five commodities for 
 fen years; they give the best picture of the gradual movement of the average prices of whole periods, as the

 Should the present level of prices be maintained for some years, the average of whole periods will experience 
 a turn for the better. 
 
 The past year, on the whole, will be considered a very prosperous one. and the activity of the manufacturing 
 industries in Europe, as well as in America, was greater than at any time since 1871-1873, the period after the 
 Franco-German war. It is true that one great industry — agriculture was not prosperous, particularly in this 
 country, as prices were low for corn, moderate for wheat, and very depressed for the greater part of the year for 
 domestic wool. But the harvest was fairly good, and, as the year L898 had been a very profitable one. :i balance 
 had probably been carried over to make good any shortcomings. The manufacturing industries, on the other 
 hand, were exceedingly busy, and very prosperous in nearly all branches engineering, shipbuilding, the cotton, 
 woolen, linen, and silk industries. The working classes were fully employed, and had the great advantage of 
 higher wages, combined with low prices for food. The war in South Africa has not had an unfavorable effed 
 on trade up to the end of the year, but its influence on the gold supply has contributed to make the money 
 market still tighter, in conjunction with the great internal-trade demands in Europe and the absorption of -old 
 by the United States, India, and Argentina. No doubt speculation has contributed to the rise of some articles, 
 particularly some of the metals, but mosl of the development appears to have been thoroughly sound, and the 
 prospects for the present year are generally held to be favorable, though the -low progress of the war up to the 
 middle of February has made the lone in this country rather quieter, while the trade on the Continent has been 
 affected by coal strikes and (he continuation of dear money in some countries. 
 
 The production of gold was estimated at X.V, 1,000, 000 in Is'.t.s, and may have reached about £64,000,000 
 in L899. A decline in South Africa, owing to the war. is more than compensated by a considerable increase in 
 Australasia and a further expansion in the United States and British North America. Itisacurious fact thai 
 last year's production, both in Australia and the United States, was larger than at any time during the earlj 
 rich discoveines in the middle of the century. In 1898 the United States, according to their official return-. 
 retained about £41,000,000, and in L899 another £14,000,000. Nearly i.'i;,n<»0.000 in sovereigns had to lie 
 forwarded t<» South Africa last year, and nearly £5,000,000 were acquired by the [ndiau treasury, while a 
 strong demand for gold in Agentina set in toward the end of the year to pay for the increased value of the 
 wool clip. There is every prospect that with peace again established in South Africa gold mining will 
 considerably increase. Extra demands from India and South America, and possibly from Italy and Spain, may 
 have to be covered, but on the whole the supply will be more than sufficient for all requirements, and may 
 contribute to keep up a somewhat higher range of prices or give a fresh stimulus to the production of 
 commodities. 
 
 The arithmetical mean of the forty -live index numbers, which is 68 (against 64 in 1898), has, as in former 
 years, again been subjected to two tests: 
 
 First, by using the same index numbers of the separate articles, but calculating each article, according to its 
 importance in the United Kingdom, on the average, of the three years 1894-1*90, when the mean for 1899 is 07.0, 
 against 04.7 in 1898, 62.5 in 1896; or on the average of the five years 1*71-1*7.'), when the mean for 1899 is only 
 60.3 against 04.7 in 1898, 02.0 in 1897, and 60.2 in 1896. Measured according to quantities, the rise is smaller 
 than in the case of the ordinary index number, while in the two preceding years the advance had been larger. 
 The result is no doubt surprising, and the explanation must be sought in the fact that such important articles as 
 wheat, barley, oats, and potatoes were higher in 1897 and L898 and lower in L899, counterbalancing to some 
 extent the movements of iron, coals, and wool, while tin, copper, and hemp, which had a very great rise in 1899, 
 are articles of less importance.

 Second, by calculating the quantities in the United Kingdom at their actual values (the production on the 
 basis of my price tallies, the imports at board of trade values, and consequently a considerable portion according 
 lifferent si I of prices) and at the nominal values on the basis of the average prices from L867-1877. In this 
 case the mean is i;7.l>. against <U.<i in L898, 63.5 in L897, and 62.0 in L896.

 It has frequently been pointed out. that the board of trade values must necessarily change more slowly than 
 the actual market prices, and will in a falling period generally be too high, and in a rising period too low; but 
 anyhow the various tables contain abundant evidence that my index numbers give a fair and, within a few per 
 cent, correct illustration of the course of general wholesale prices of commodities.

 CONSTRUCTION OF THE TABLES. 
 
 The table of index numbers is based on the average prices of the eleven years 1867-1877, and the index 
 numbers have been calculated in the ordinary arithmetical way; for instance, English wheat: 
 
 5. a. 
 
 Average, 1 867-77 54 6 = 100, average point. 
 
 Average, 1855 74 8 = 137, or 37 per cent above the average point. 
 
 Average, 1894 22 11 = 41, or 59 per cent below the average point. 
 
 Average, 1899 25 S = 47, or 53 per cent below the average point. 
 
 The index numbers therefore represent simple percentages of the average point. 
 
 Certain articles which appear to have, something in common have been grouped together, with the following 
 
 result: 
 
 1. Vegetable food, corn, etc. (wheat, flo potatoes andrice) With 8 index numbers . 
 
 2. Animal food (beef, mutton, pork, bacon, and butter) With 7 index numbers . 
 
 3. Sugar coffee, and tea ' With 4 index numbers .

 Wholesale Prices, 1845 L899 Proportionate Results. 
 Deduced from (he preceding table on the basis of representing by the number loo the average prices of 
 
 the six years 1845 1850. 
 
 The construction is us follows: The basis of loo represents the average juices of the six years L845 L850,and 
 all the subsequent figures are calculated from that datum line. Thus as regards coffee (column 1). the price of 
 
 1st .Inly, 1857, was equal to 151, or 51 per cent aboi e the average prices of 1S45-1850. In order to ascertain the 
 percentage rise or fall between one date and another — as, for example, coffee comparing 1st July, L857, when 
 the figure was 151, with 1st January, 1894, when the figure was ITU, or a difference of 28, the rise per cent lias to 
 be measured with the quantity 1 51. a ml given, of course, a result of :>:', per cent as the real advance. In the course, 
 of so long a period of years since L845 some variations have inevitably arisen in the mode of quoting prices in the. 
 usual Prices Current. In all such cases, the nearest approach possible has been made to a uniform quotation 
 throughout the table. In raw cotton especially -there have been considerable changes of qualities introduced by 
 the large use of Indian and Egyptian kinds. In tea, sugar, and wool also changes have occurred in the kinds 
 most usually quoted. 
 
 [The column "Total index number" is the total for each date of all the percentage columns except that of the 
 "Hank-note circulation." The "Total index number" does not, of course, present a full and accurate representa- 
 tion of the variations of prices, inasmuch as it can not allow for the relative importance of the different articles. 
 Wheat, for example, reckons for no more in the "Total index number" than indigo; and during the years of the 
 high price of cotton and cotton fabrics the total index number is, in a measure, unduly raised by that special 
 cause. Still the total index number, read with the needful qualifications, may afford important inferences.]

 In (lie following table of relative prices of groups the prices of the year L860 are taken as a basis! LOO), 
 and the rise or fall in price from this given base is expressed in form of relative prices or percentages. By this 
 means the comparison of a large number of objects varying greatly in units of measurement as well as in price 
 is rendered possible. The relative price of a group represents a simple arithmetical average of relative prices 
 for all the articles making up the respective group. Tims, for instance, in the case of group "Food" the 
 sum of the relative prices for all the commodities making u|> this group for the year L891 .V>(»7.1 was divided 
 by the number of articles comprised in this group 53. The result <>f tins division L03.9 represents the 
 relative price for this group. 
 
 The relative price for all articles is found in a similar manner by dividing (lie sum total of all relative 
 prices by the total number of articles:
