Washington, D. C.
FORE W ARD
The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries has contra cted with the Bureau of Labor Statistics to obtain av rag retail pric s for se lected canned fish items. The retail prices as contained herein for s vera l types of canned tuna, canned salmon, and canned Maine sardines were collected and processed by the U. S. D partm nt of Labor in orde r to provide information on pric levels in different citi s . This issue contains the data for December 1958, and similar information will be published on a monthly basis through Jun 30, 1959 .
Collection methods were those used r gularly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for its Consumer Pric Ind x and described in its regular publications. Each city liste d here has a population of 30, 500 or over, and prices were obtain d by personal visits of agents to the retail stores in these citie s each month. Th s stor s include important chain organizations, and a s a m ple of ind p ndent stores of all sizes scattered throughout each city .
Averages include prices for all brands available in each store each month, except that separate averages were computed for nationally advertised and non-nationally a dve rtised brands of canned tuna. ince t he p rices of different brands va ry, and the same brands may not be available each month in e ve r y store, care should be taken not to i nterp ret differences in average prices from month to month as a m easure of real price change on comparable items.
Separate average prices for chain stores and independent stores are computed, and city prices are an average of these two prices , weighted by the relative sales volume of chain and independent stores in each city. Chain s to re prices are averages, of prices in each chain, weighted by the relative sales volume of the individual chain organizations. Independent store prices are unweighted average s of prices for all brands found in stores in the sample. All data s hown a r e based o n a minimum of three reporting stores , and also, in the case of chains, on reporting stores representing '8. mini mum of ab out 30 percent of the sales volume of chains in the city . A s te ris ks on t he tables indicate that although one or more prices were available, the number was insufficient to compute reliable averages . Blanks on t he tables indicate that no prices were obtai ned.
Tabulations also include the percent of chain store weight represented in the prices , the numbe r of indepe ndent store quotations obtained, and the range of ind ividual p rices.
This project is financed from funds provided by the Saltons t all Kennedy Act.
