PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 The prevailing high prices of commodities and the consequent high 
 cost of living have been the subject of widespread discussion in this 
 and other countries. This list attempts to direct attention to the lit- 
 erature of the subject contained in the Library of Congress. Matter 
 relating to conditions in the United States has received the first 
 consideration, but all the more important foreign countries are 
 represented. 
 
 In arranging the material, general discussions have been placed at 
 the beginning and some attempt has been made to separate discussions 
 on the Cost of living from those relating more strictly to Prices. As 
 a comparative treatment of prices is hardly practicable without the 
 use of Index Numbers, references to the latter have been included in 
 this section. Most treatises on political economy devote some space to 
 prices and index numbers, but references to these have not as a rule 
 been included in the list. To the reader desiring an elementary dis- 
 cussion of prices or exchange values the following ax'e suggested: 
 J. B. Clark, Essentials of economic theory, chap, vi, vii; E. T. Ely, 
 Outline of economics, rev. ed., chap, xi, xii; A. S. Johnson, Intro- 
 duction to economics, chap, ii, iii, iv, xv; J. L. Laughlin, Elements 
 of political economy, Book 2, and chap, xxm; J. S. Mill, Principles 
 of political economy. Book 3; J. S. Nicholson, Principles of political 
 economy, v. 2, bk. 3, consult index of v. 1 and 3; H. R. Seager, Intro- 
 duction to economics, 3d ed., chap, v, xv, xvi; E. R. A. Seligman, 
 Principles of economics, 1909, Book 4, chap, xxviii. The last includes 
 a lucid description of Index numbers and the brief select list of refer- 
 ences on this subject at the head of the chapter will furnish enough 
 material for all except specialists. For extended research see Kem- 
 merer, Laughlin, and Walsh. 
 
 References relating to the United States are placed immediately after 
 the general discussions and then follows in alphabetical order the 
 material relating specifically to foreign countries, the references on 
 the cost of living being in each case separated from those on prices. 
 
 The influence of the increased gold supply of the world oh prices has 
 occupied a large space in the discussions, and the last section of the list 
 is devoted to references on Gold in relation to prices. 
 
 Just as Prices imply Index numbers so discussions of the Cost of 
 living imply Family budgets. These are both brought out in the sub- 
 ject index, which also affords a clue to material on certain important

 commodities and such special aspects of the subject as the History of 
 prices, Purchasing power of Money, Standard of living, Tariff and 
 prices, Theory of prices, and Trusts and prices. 
 
 In the case of certain serials only the last volumes of sets are noted. 
 
 The subject of this list has been under investigation by a Select com- 
 mittee of the United States Senate on wages and prices of commodi- 
 ties. A report of the Committee is to be published shortly. The 
 General Court of Massachusetts has also appointed a Commission on 
 the cost of living. This report also will be printed in full. An 
 abstract from it has been issued as a Senate document. It was received 
 too late for insertion in its proper place in the list and is therefore 
 entered here: 
 
 Massachusetts. Oeneral court. Report of the Massachusetts commission on the 
 high cost of living. May 6, 1910. 13 pp. 8°. (TJ. S., Gist Congress, 2d ses- 
 sion. Senate doc. no. 523.) 
 
 The following was in use at the time the list was compiled and could 
 not be examined in time for inclusion in the list. It is too important 
 to omit and is therefore also entered here: 
 
 Bureau of economic research. Quarterly bulletin. No. 1, July, 1900; No. 2, Octo- 
 ber, 1900. 
 Ne7v York, 1900. Slno». 8°. 
 
 Compiled under the direction of John K. Commons. 
 
 Contents.— No. 1. Comparative prices, freight rates, stock quotations for the years 
 1878 to 1900, shown by percentage or index numbers. No. 2. Wholesale prices by 
 monthly and quarterly averages, 1896 to 1900 and 1878 to 1882. Shown by index 
 numbers and diagrams.

 "Presents the results of an investigation prosecuted in every 
 section of our country into the cost of living of workingmen's 
 families and the retail prices of the principal staple articles of 
 food consumed by such families. This investigation covered 
 two subjects, distinct in character, yet closely allied; that into 
 cost of living covered the year 1901 , and its object was to deter- 
 mine the cost of housing, fuel, lighting, food, clothing, etc., in 
 the average workingman's family in the United States, while 
 that into retail prices covered the period from 1890 to 1903 and 
 had for its object the collection of data which would show the 
 extent of increase or decrease in the retail prices of the staple 
 articles of food during the period and thus render it possible to 
 determine, approximately at least, the changes in cost of living 
 in the several years covered."

 Materials toward the elucidation of the economic conditions 
 
 affecting the precious metals and the question of standards.
