A general rise of prices took place about i860. With the suppression of the Mutiny 1861—65 transfer of the administration to the Crown, there com- menced a new era of commercial and industrial activity. The resources of the country -were developed by the construction of roads and railways, the improvement of harbours, and the extension of irrigation. The cotton famine caused by the American War of Secession (1861 — 65) gave a great impetus to the cultivation of cotton in India, which, while the war lasted, brought large profits to the cultivator and the merchant. The influx of the precious metals which had begun about the time of the Mutiny was thus further stimulated, and from about the second year of the war a great rise of prices took place throughout the cotton-growing districts of Western and Central India, as also in a smaller degree in other parts of the country. Prices were also raised by the famine of 1861 in the Upper Doab of the province of I Agra and the neighbouring districts of the Panjab and Rajputana and by the scarcity in Cutch. On the collapse of the inflation caused by the American war, prices would have fallen but for the great famine of 1866 in Orissa, which extended into 1866—70. Bengal proper, Bihar, Madras, and the eastern part of the Central Provinces. Another notable famine— that of 1869 — affected Western Rajputana and parts of Northern India, and the. extension of scarcity, towards the west and south, produced a rise of prices in Bombay, the Central Provinces, and Hyderabad, During 1871 — 75 prices were not seriously disturbed by any calamity except the scarcity in Bihar of 1874, and although large purchases of grain were 1871—75. made by the Government and scarcity Iprevailed in the adjoining districts of the United Provinces, the disturbance of prices wa-s not widely felt. The export trade in rice expanded greatly in 1872-73, and was on a large scale throughout the decade 1871 — 80. It showed greater contraction in 1874, the year of the Bihar famine, than in the Deccsin famine three years later. In this quinquennium occurred the great famine of 1877-78 which affected an enormous tract in Western and Southern India and extended with diminished 1876-So. intensity into the North, causing a general rise of prices of food- grains all over India. The export trade in wheat, which had begun in a small way after the opening of the Suez Canal In 1870, received a check in the years 1878—1880. Speaking generally, all crops except rice were good or abundant during these years, though there was scarcity in a portion of the Panjab in 1884 and 1881—85. distress in parts of Bengal and Madras in 1885. The rice crop was bad between 188.'? and 1885 owing to drought and floods, but wheat was plentiful, and the average price for all grains was low. It is difficult to find adequate reasons for the great rise in prices which took place during these five years, for the 1889 famine in Gan jam 1886-90. (accompanied by distress in Orissa and scarcity in Bihar) -was only of local importance, and prices had already reached their highest point In 1888. The export trade in food-grains was not larger than in the preceding quinquennium. 2 EXPLANATORY NOTE— ra«W. The high prices ruling during 1886 — 90 were still further raised in 1891-92 by prolonged 1891—95 drought, causing scarcity and distress in Madras, Bombay, the Deccan, Bihar, and Upper Burma, A strong Indian demand for rice was coupled with large exports, and at the same time there was an unprecedented export- ation of wheat owing to the failure of crops in Europe, so that Indian prices rose almost to famine levels. With better seasons prices fell, but the lowest point reached in 1891 — 95 was still above the average level of the previous quinquennium, and, as in that period, the importation of silver for coinage continued on a large scale until the closure of the mints in June 1893. The year 1 896-97 was one of intense and widespread famine. The climatic conditions jgpg.g^ the autumn were generally most unfavourable, and it was certain by the end of November that famine must supervene over a great extent of the country. It w'as most severe in the North-West Provinces and Oudh, and in the Ceritral Provinces, w'here the calamity was seriously aggravated by the fact that in these territories there had been ttvo previous years of short harvest. The winter rains, however, did good to the greater part of Madras, Bengal, Western India, and Rajputana, and also the greater part of the Panjab. The prices of food had been higher than usual in Northern and Central India before the failure of the autumn rains ; but they had been moderate in Bengal Madras, and Bombay up to September 1896. In September 1896 prices rose suddenly and in October famine prices were reached in Northern and Central India, though in Bengal Madras, and Bombay the highest level was not reached till some months later. For the years from 1897-98 onwards the chief reasons for the fluctuations in the price of 1897-1906. principal food-grains are given in the tabular statement below. 1897-98.

From i 85 i to Retail prices of salt. n n ^ / • • t 1 1 1078 there was no change in most provinces. In I'jyS the duty was reduced from R3-4-0 a maund in Bengal to R2-14-0, and the duty on Rajputana salt from R3-0-0 to R2-8-0. This change reduced the retail prices of salt in Bengal, the United Provinces, the Panjab, and Assam ; but about the same time the duty levied on salt in Sind was raised from Ro-8-0 to R2-8-0 and in Bombay from R 1*13-0 to R2-8-0, so that prices rose very largely in Sind and considerably in Bombay. Since 1878 the retail prices of salt all over India except Burma have uniformly responded to changes in duty. In 1882 the rate df duty was reduced generally to R2 per maund which was raised again to R2-8-0 in i888. The reductions to R2 again in 1903 and to Ri-8-0 in 1905 had an immediate effect in bringing down retail prices. The salt tax was reduced with effect from the 20th March 1907 for the third year in succession to R t a maund throughout the whole of India. In Burma the salt revenue system is somewhat different. In the years 1888, 1889 and 1890 increases in the rates of composition duty were made with a view to raising the incidence of the tax to the same level as in India, and the prices rose considerably in those three years. Since 1890 there has been little change in the retail prices. PART I ►: NOTE RETAIL PRICES OF FOOD-GRAINS AND SALT Prior to 1873 prices of food-grains were officially recorded in different provinces, but Records of prices statistics Were not collected on any uniforni plan, nor brought together in an accessible form. Under orders of the Government of India issued in 1872 a fortnightly return of retail prices for the commoner food-grains and salt in each district was instituted, and these returns have been regularly published in the Supplement to the Gazette of India since 1873* In 1878 a small volume was published, giving yearly average prices for food-grains for the period 1861 — 1876 in certain districts which were selected as typical. In 1884 the figures in the earlier volumes were revised, prices for the period 1876 — 1883 were added, and a new volume was published. Since that date a statement of the average prices of each year beginning from 1861 has been published annually in the volume entitled “Prices and Wages in India”. Throughout the period from 1872 additions to the record have been made from time to time by increasing the number of stations from which reports regarding certain grains were required, and also by adding one kind of grain “ Kangni” to the list. The following statement shows the grains for which prices are now recorded in each province and the year from which the record begins : Rice Wheat Barley Jawar or Cholum 1 Bajra or Cumbu 1 Mama or Ragi Kangni Gram or Kadalai Maize Arhar ddl Salt Upper Burma . 1887 1887 i 1892 1 i 1887 CO 00 1889 1887 Lower » 1861 1861 ... it ... ... ... 1861 II 1887 1861 Eastern Bengal and Assam.

It is advisable to note that not only do pnces in India. money prices vary inversely to quantity prices, but that the percentages of the rise or fall of prices according to the two methods of notation are Price for Baluchistan only (J) A ser is equal to 2'o61b n ear y >4 EXPLANATORY NOTE AND SUMMARY OF TABLES quite different. Thus if the number of sers obtainable for a rupee is halved, decreases by 50 per cent, the money price is doubled, i.e., rises cent per cent ; but if the grain becomes cheaper, for example, if the quantity of sers sold for a rupee increases by 50 per cent, the corresponding money price is only 33 per cent lower. Tables Nos. i— 11 shew the annual average prices of each of the ten commoner kinds of Arrangement of the tables, foo^-grains and of salt. The prices quoted are the averages of the half-monthly prices reported during the year. The districts in each province are grouped together with reference to their climatic character and rainfall, and averages are struck for each group as well as for each province. Old Tables 12— 22 giving average prices for each of the food-grains dealt with in the previous tables and for salt in each quinquennium since 1861 and Tables Nos. 23 — '33 showing the variations in the quinquennial average prices taking’the average prices of the quinquennium rSyi — 75 as lop hitherto published in previous issues, have been omitted. Table No. 12 shews the annual average prices of the most important food-grains at twenty-three stations, which have been selected with a view to giving a fair indication of the general level of prices throughout each province. Table No. 13 shews the variations of these prices, the prices of the year 1873 being taken as 100. The year 1873 marks the beginning of the great change in the relative value of gold and silver and the character of the seasons was in this year generally normal. These variations represent the relative changes in money prices and are in inverse ratio to the quantity prices. A note explaining in brief the variations in prices of food-grains and salt since 1861 has been inserted at the beginning of this volume.

The articles, though few in number, represent in their aggregate value a large share of the total import trade. On the average of the last three years the imports of cotton-goods (yarn and manufactures), of metals, and sugar represent 56 per cent of the whole imports into India. In consequence of the development of the Indian coal-fields, foreign coal is no longer a considerable item in the import trade; and the rapid increase in the imports of kerosene oil, which began in about 1888, has been checked by the competition of oil produced in Burma. The prices quoted from 1843—1858 are taken from the Exchange Price Current. From 1859 onwards the quotations are taken for Calcutta from the Price Cut rent and Market Report of 122 EXPLANATORY NOTE AND SUMMARY OF TABLES the Bengal Chamber of Commerce, The price of coal at Bombay is taken from the Bombay' Market Report, and of gold from the Calcutta Price Current and Money Market Report, and the prices of sugar, Mauritius, and silk are reported monthly by the Commissioner of Customs, Bombay. The prices quoted are those for the first week of January and July in each year, or where quotations are not available for these weeks, for the nearest period.

By far the most important class of labour is agricultural, and the record obtained entirely fails to give a reliable indication of the remimeration of the labourers. This result is due to the inherent difficulties of the problem, and the practical impossibility of getting the untrained reporting agency to make the necessary allowances for the varying conditions of employ- ment. Payment in kind is commonly practised, either for the entire wage, or as a supple- ment to cash wages, p.nd the supplements vary according to the season and the nature of the employment. The regularity of employment also varies greatly, and employment is practically nowhere continuous throughout the year. The most common expedient for avoiding these, and other difficulties, is to return cash wages for labourers employed in towns or their neighbourhood, which are in no way typical of the rates prevailing throughout the district. The same difficulties are also encountered in collecting information as to the wages earned by village artizans, and the results are further vitiated by assuming that masons, carpenters, and blacksmiths necessarily earn the same wages. The wages of horse- keepers are recorded with the least inaccuracy, but even if they are taken as typical of the wages of domestic service generally, the class represented is unimportant. The selection of the districts, for which figures are published in the tables, is also faulty, as the districts are not typical of tracts having similar economic conditions, but are those originally selected according to their climatic character and rainfall for making returns of the prices of food-grains. Measures are now being taken to replace the present faulty returns by more scientific methods of investigation, whose object will be to ascertain the standard rates of wages in each district or homogeneous tract, and to observe permanent changes in those standard rates as distinct from short period fluctuations. Tables Nos. 31 and 32 are a record of wages paid in certain State Railways and Govern- ment Establishments as well as in some Industrial Establishments in various parts of the country. The figures in tables Nos. 28, 29 and 30 are compiled from the half-yearly reports receiv- ed from District Officers. The figures in table No. 31 are reported annually by the Director General of Post Office, the Railway Board, the Irrigation Department of the Government oi Bengal, and the Accountant General, Military Department ; and those in table No. 32 are supplied by the owners or managers of the different industrial concerns.
