The present issue of the Volume, Prices and Wages, is the Thirty-first of the series started in 1878 with ^the statistics for the period 1861 to 1876, and includes the statistics for the year 1913, and in some cases for January 1914. Considerable changes have been made in this Vohune, and it may be considered as the first of a new Series. It is divided into three Parts, viz., (I) Wholesale Prices, (II) Retail Prices, and (III) Wages. In addition to changes and rearrangement in the Tables, Charts and an Index have been added. For the first time an attempt has been made to summarise in a convenient form the movement of price ranges in the year under review and in preceding years. This publication, it may be added, will be followed by another (now in the Press), relating to Prices and Freights in India since the outbreak of war. I Wholesale Prices. — ^The sources of the statistics in Part I — ^Wholesale Prices — are, in the case of the ports, generally the market reports published by Chambers of Commerce, and in other cases, the fortnightly returns from selected markets in each province. The latter wholesale prices are those governing a wholesale transaction on the last day of each fortnight, or the nearest market day, and unless wholesale transactions have actually taken place, no prices are quoted. The prices are only quoted for those markets where the articles in question, are staples of local trade. The returns are forwarded to the Director, Agriculture and Land Records, or in the case of Madras to the Board of Revenue. After examination the returns are forwarded to this Department. It may be noted that a wholesale transaction is taken to be one in which not less than 10 maunds of food grains, seeds, grass and straw, and one maund of other articles such as turmeric, tobacco, etc., change hands. In the case of live stock, prices are quoted for a score of sheep and for a pair of bullocks. The total number of articles for which wholesale prices are quoted, as shown in Appendix jB, is 48, and there are 120 separate marts from which reports are received. Prices for 29 of these articles showing 70 marts are published fortnightly in the Supplement to the Gazette of India, and 24 articles, showing transactions in 87 separate marts, are recorded in this Volume. Annual average prices paid by the Supply and Transport Corps for articles for consumption of troops at certain selected stations in India are also given on pages 51 to 66 in Tables 13 and 14. These are “ contract prices ” and do not always correspond with the market prices of similar articles mentioned in other tables. This may be, to some extent, due to the fact that the grade of the commodities is not the same in both cases, and also to the fact that Contractors, o'ving to a steady demand for a comparatively large supply throughout the year, can afiord to sell at a cheaper price. Of the tables showing prices in India and other countries No. 9 on page 46 has been recast and the prices quoted in sterling only. Retail Prices. — The Retail Prices published in this Volume are those furnished fortnightly by District officers. They are supplied fortnightly under orders of the Government of India issued in 1872 and are the prices at the District Head-quarters. It may be noted that the districts in each Pro\duce are roughly grouped together into homogeneous circles, with special reference to their climatic character and their rainfall. Aver- ages are struck for each group as well as for each Pro%-ince, The district returns are supplied, as in the case of wholesale prices, by District officers to the Director of Agriculture and Land Records, and in the case of Madras, to the Board of Revenue. Unlike wholesale prices, they are in every case the prices in the Head- quarters of the districts and are quoted usually in Sers (of 80 tolas) per mpee. For the sake of comparison, however, with wholesale prices they have been quoted as the price (in rupees) per maund of 82-286 lbs. / These statistics of retail prices when furnished to this Department are examined ivith the prices in neighbouring districts and are also compared with the wholesale prices of the same article for the same district and the neighbouring districts. Discrepancies which occur are brought to the notice of Local authorities from time to time. Wage Statistics. — The Wage statistics in Tables 19, 20 and 21 are compiled from half-yearly returns received from District officers. They show for the previous six months of each district the monthly average wages of certain labourers and artisans. JTables 22 and 23 are compiled from returns furnished from State 'Railways, Post Offices, Workshops and Business Establishments, Collieries, Mills, etc. The Wage statistics are admittedly incomplete. Steps, however, are being taken to make them more comprehensive, as in Volume III of the Prices Enquiry Committee’s Report wliich has been recently published. Further details on the collection and compilation of these statistics of Prices and Wages will be found in Appendices E and G in Volume I of the Prices Enquiry Committee’s Report. The rise o£ wholesale prices between 1890 and 1913. f • Before analysing the rise of prices in 1913 it is convenient to summarise the general movement of price: for the last two decades. The ground has already been covered by the Prices Enquiry Committee. The ResO' lution on the Report is printed in Appendix D. The general level of wholesale prices is now 40 pei cent higher than they were two decades ago. In 1912 the general average was 41 p M cen t higher tFan in th( quinquennial 1890-94. If a smoothed average be taken, say the quinquennial lSD87r2, the rise was 37 per ceni higher than during the quinquennial 1890-94. This rise has been especially marked since 1905. The increasi in price has been greatest in the following classes of articles : — ^Hides and Skins, Food-grains, Building materials ( ii ) i.Ed Oil seeds, all cf wLich liavc liscn 40 per cent or more above the level of the neriod IRon qj • in-^cTcsting also to note that the rise has been greater in some areas than in otliers If the nvor" t t. , 1912 betota, the ,iec h.s been nbove 30 pSr eent in the Iollo«-i„g nm^VZo.trf n*h b“ 1890-94 ; Knraehi (48 per eeirt).

The average fluctuation for all India in the wholesale prices of foodgrains was a rise of 5 per cent over those of 1912. In foodgrains the highest rise was in Axhar Dal (14 per cent) and the lowest in Eagi (Eleusine Coracana) (1 per cent) ; Bajra (Pennisetum typhoi- deum), however, showed, as already noted, a decrease of 8 per cent and Jawar (Andropogon sorghum) showed no fluctuation. The so-called inferior foodgrains * are of great importance in the food supply of the country generally. There was no fluctuation in the prices of sesamum, cotton and cotton seed, but an increase in the prices of mustard and rape seed, poppy seed, ghee, jute, tobacco leaf and plough bullocics, and a decrease in those of linseed, sugar, raw (gur), sugar refined, turmeric and sheep.

Appendix E contains the statement showing the total area and export of certain principal crops in India with their seasonal conditions in each province since 1897-98. In Appendix F is given a list of Indian weights and measures used in the Volume of Prices and Wages in India with their British and Metrical equivalents. Wages from 1890. ) The general movement of wages in India has been dealt with in detail in the Prices Enquiry Committee’s Report, Volume I, Chapters III and XIII and Volume III. The general conclusions show that the income of ^ •wage-earners has generally increased considerably faster than their cost of living, which has resulted in a substantial improvement in the material condition of agricultmal and general labourers and artizans who form the majority of the wage-earning class. Taking India aTs'a whole the rise in real wages of general labourers hah been greatest in the Punjab East, Agra Provinces East and Bundelkhrmd. Next to this class the rise in real wages in India as a whole has been greatest in the case of village artisans. The rise has been highest in the Punjab East, Bundelkhund, Bihar and Agra Provinces, North and West. The third class in ■order of rise for all India is the agricultural labourer. The rise in real wages for this class has been above bO per centra the Punjab East, Agra Province East and Chota Nagpur ; between 40 and 50 per cent in Agra Province North and West, Pimjab West, Bundelkhund, Berar and Madras South. Next in order of importance come, firstly, the artizans employed in urban areas other than large cities, secondly, general labourers in cities and thirdly the city artizans. In India as a whole the rise in real wages has been lowest for domestic servants both in cities and other urban areas, and as a matter of fact in some circles there has been an actual fall in real wages, that is, the rise in nominal wages has not been so great as that in the cost of livong. To sum up, it may be said that in India, imlike most other countries, the rise of > prices has been fully met by a rise in wages in the case of skilled or unskilled labourers, not employed in Industries or on railways, and Industrial or railway labourers have in some parts of India secured an increast in wages commensurate with the rise in prices, while in others the incres ae in wages has been smaller than the 'increase in their cost of living. It is, therefore, in these latter areas that -ndustrial knd railway labourers have not profited by the rise in prices and in this respect they are therefore similar to those on fbced incomes, sucb as professional classes, and persons who depend on tbe incomes solely from shares ancTother'^securitiesI ( ’Pi ) Eatc for January 1914 c-rpro^scd in index bora (rato for January 1913 ■= 100 ) Wages in 1913 and 1914. Tile statistics of wages of skilled and unskilled labour paid in districts of British India for 1913 are not now available, as the half-yearly returns of wages submitted by district officers have been discontinued and a quinqueimial * wage census, the first of which was taken in 1911-12, was instituted in place of these half-yearly returns. From an examination of returns supplied by leading industries — cotton (Bombay), woollen (Cawnpore), jute (Bengal), paper (Bengal), rice (Bangoon), mining (Bengal), and brewing (Punjab), it has been found as shown in the margin that there has been a general rise in wages in these industries of 3 per cent in January 1914 as compared with January 1913. The greatest rise is a rise of 9 per cent each in the cotton industry in Bombay, and in the woollen mills in Upper India. The insufficiency of operatives in the cotton factories in Bomba)* has been a serious hindrance to the industry, and is due to the great demand for unskilled labour elsewhere, chiefly in the Public Works Department and at the Docks, and also to such root factors over long periods as plague, etc., which arrest the natural growth of the population at a time of considerable industrial e.vpansion. The jute industry shows a rise of 2 per cent. In the early part of the season labour was fairly plentiful. In the beginning of the hot weather the jute mills started a five-day week and the exodus of labourers, especially the weaver class, to their country homes, was in consequence even larger than in pre\'ious years. The paper industry in Bengal records no change, w'hile the coal industry shows a fall of 3 per cent. The rice milling industry in Rangoon also shows a slight fall of 4 per cent. There was no material change in tea gardens, where labour conditions remained on the whole the same as in the previous vear. The table below gives the rates for the past three years for different class of wage-earners in the chief industries.

As already noted, the rise in the wages of industrial labour has not been so great as in the case of agricultural labourers and ^'illage artisans. Money wages of industrial laboiuers, however, have over long periods increased in all industries, and the rise has generally been greater than or equal to the rise in retail prices except in the tea,t sugar and brewing industries.

Summary of the variations in prices of food-grains and salt in each qiiinqitenniian from 1861-65. A general rise of prices took place about 1860. With the suppression of the Mutiny and the transfer of ]gQ] 05 administration to the Crown, there commenced 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 (1S61— 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 comitrj'. Prices were also raised by the famine of 1861 in the Upper Doab of the province of Agra and the neighbouring districts of the Punjab and Kajputana 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 1800—70 Orissa, which extended into Bengal proper, Bihar, Madras, and the eastern part of the Central Provinces. Another notable famine — that of 1869 — affected Western Eajputana and parts of Northern India, and the extension of scarcity, towards the west and south, produced a rise of prices in Bombay, the Central Promnces, and Hyderabad. During 1871 — 75 prices were not seriously disturbed by any calamity except the scarcity in Bihar of 1874:, j and although large purchases of grain were then made by the Government and scarcity jnevailed in the adjoining districts of the United Provinces, the disturbance of prices was 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 Deccan famine three 5 'ears later. In this quinquennium occurred the great famine of 1877-78, which affected an enormous tract in Western and Southern India and extended vith diminished intensitv into the north, IfiTG— SO 4 1 * 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 — 80. 6 Speaking generally, aU crops except nee were good or abundant during these years, though there was scarcity in a portion of the Punjab in 1884 and distress in parts of Bengal and Madran ~ in 1885. Tlie rice crop was bad between 1883 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, 1880—90 famine in Ganjam (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. The high prices ruling during 1886 — 90 were still further raised in 1891-92 by prolonged drought, causing jggi g. 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 exportation 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. This quinquennium witnessed two distinct famines. The first one occurred in the latter part of 1896 and 1896 1900 extended into 1897 ; and the second, occurred in the latter half of 1899 ~ and continued, like the previous one, through the ensuing year. These famines bore a close lesemblance to each other in this that they were more or less equally intense and equally wide- spread. The fall in prices associated with the closing year of the preceding quinquennium was thus one of short duration. In September 1896 a sudden rise took place in the prices of food-grains. In November, famine prices were declared in Northern and Central India, and soon after they became general. The autumn harvest of 1897 relieved the tension somewhat, and the bumper crops of 1898 saw prices assume a rela- tively low level. But this improvement was again not sustained, for the complete failure of the south-west monsoon in 1899, followed by poor winter rains reinduced famine prices in the following year. The monsoon of 1900 was more favourable than its predecessor ; still it was not of such a character as to efface altogether the ill-effects of the previous season of drought. There was no very marked return to ordinary price levels in 1901 and 1902 as the weather conditions were generally not favourable, except perhaps for rice. But in the next 1 1901—05 years, and particularly in 1904, agricidtural conditions were distinctly good, especially in the case of the wheat crop. There was in these two years a corresponding improvement in prices of food-grains, especially of rice and wheat ; but a set-back uas experienced in 1905. The seasonal conditions of that year were marred by a partial failure of the monsoon in Northern and Western India and by heavy rain and floods in Bengal and Eastern Bengal. A sharp and rapid rise in the prices of articles of India',! produce, especially food-grains, began in 1905. 202 The rise was sustained in 1900 ns tlie spring crops of that year, except wiieat, were generally not good, and the. autumn crops were damaged more or less by excessive rain and 1000-10 floods, piarticulaily in Bengal and Eastern Bengal. Agricultural prospects were to a certain extent improved by the good winter lains which, though late, saved a part of the spring harvest of 1907 in Northern India. But as unfavourable conditions prevailed in other parts of the country, jrarticulaily in Bengal, prices remained unaffected ; and when the failure of the south-west monsoon occurred famine conditions declared themselves over a large area. The wheat and oilseeds Larvests of 1908 were very poor owing to dcficicut and badly distributed rainfall. Neither were the autumn crops good. ITre rise of prices was accentuated in 1907 and 1908 hy the wide.sprcnd failure of the crops in Northeni India. The wheat crop of 1909 showed an advance on the previous ye.rr, though the winter rains were generally deficient and the untimely rain in April damaged a quantit}' of the grain on the threshing floor in parts where the crop was reaped early. The monsoon was exceptionally favourable, and there was a considerable iu- ''reaso in tho total outturn of the staide crops. There was a phenomenal rice ciopin Burma and the two Bengals, tho extended cultivation in the latter having been stimulated by low prices of jute. As a result there was a general decline in prices in 1909. Tho timely and well distributed winter rains brought fine crops to liarvest in tho .spring of 1910. Tho monsoon of that year was on the whole favourable and the crops good. Prices continued to-fall ; but in tho case' of rice a strong demand from China operated to keep tho rates at the level of the previous year, p.nrticularl}- in Burma. Tho spring crops of 1911 were on the whole good, though frost and rust affected them in parts of North- ern and Western India, and prices continued to fall. The monsoon of that year, however, was not very favourable particularly in Northern and Western India where the autumn crops suflorcd more or less from drought, and prices of rice showed an upward tendency accentuated by strong c.vport demand. Tho spring crops of 1012 suflered through drought in Western and in parts of Northern India and pricc.s rose ; and although the monsoon of that year was not on the whole unfavourable, the strong export demand maintained the prices of rice at a high level. The rise in prices continued in 1913 and tho spring crops of that year were affected adversely by deficient rains in tho Punjab and in tho western parts of tho United Pronnocs and in the Bombay Presidency. The monsoon on tho whole was not very satisfactory. 203 APPENDIX D Resolution of the Government of Indio on the R&poit on the Enquiry into the Rise of Prices in Indict. RESOLUTION — By the Government of India, Finance Department. The rise in prices in India, though in evidence from an earlier date, began to attract general notice from about the year 1907. In 1910 the Government of India decided to undertake a full and detailed investigation of the problem, and the task was entrusted to Mr. Datta, a senior and experienced officer of the Finance Depart- ment, assisted by Mr. Findlay Shirras, late professor of Economics of the Dacca College, and Mr. S. D. Gupta of the Finance Department. Mr. Datta was instructed to tour throughout British India, to collect and analyse the relevant statistics, to ascertain the views of both the official and non-official community, and to report his conclusions to the Government of India. The specific points referred for investigation were : — (1) What has been the actual rise iu'’prices in India during the past fifteen years ? Has the rise affected all commodities alike or is it specially marked in the case of food grains ? Axe there marked differences in respect of enhancement of prices as between different areas ? (2) To what extent is the rise in prices due to what may be styled “ world factors,” and how far may it be ascribed to local conditions ? (3) Does it appear that the rise is a permanent feature or' is it only temporary ? (4) If it be more or less permanent, what are its probable economic effects on the conntry as a whole, and on the^ different sections of the community ? 2. Mr. Datta was placed on special duty in 1910. His report was received in 1913, and the complete sub- sidiary volumes of statistics, on which it is based, were finally ready by April 1914. The Government of India desire to place on record their appreciation of the care and industry which Mr. Datta and his assistants brought to bear on their arduous task. The report with its statistical appendices constitntes an almost complete survey of the progress achieved during the past 22 years. It brings together, and exhibits the inter-relation of, a mass of statistical' material, drawn from a wide variety of sources, and illustrating the many-sided evolution of the country. Whatever view may be taken of the conclusions reached in regard to individual issues arising out of the terms of reference— some of which inevitably involve controversial points of economic theory — ^the report as a whole must be recognised as a very valuable contribution to the recent economic and financial history of India. 3. The general course of prices is indicated in the following table, taken from page 29 of the report, which ^ . exhibits the variations in average wholesale * rupee prices, during enera course o ^ prices. years 1890 to 1912, of different groups of articles, for the 24 more or less homogeneous economic circles, into which, for the reasons noted in Chapter II of the report, Mr. Datta has divided India exclusive of Burma and the Native States. The figure 100 represents in this table /the average wholesale price of each group of commodities for the years 1890 to 1894, which have been selected by Mr. Datta as the standard or basic period for the purpose of estimating the fluctuations in the price level ; and the prices of each group in the different years are accordingly shown as percentages cf this figure : — Years.

It will be ^een from the above table that — (1) Apart from a slight rise in 1892-1893, the price level was fairly steady from 1890 to 1895. With a severe famine prevailing over a large part of India, the general index number rose to 106 in 1896, and 121 in 1897. The rise was practically confined to food grains, other articles of food and oilseeds. Agricultural conditions were generally favourable in the two following years, and food grains fell to about the level of the basic period. There was a considerable rise, however, under hides and skins, metals, and building materials, and the general level stood at 106 in 1898 and at 104 in 1899. ^ (2) With the advent of famine conditions in Northern India, the Central Provinces and Bombay, the general price level rose again in 1900 to 122. The proportionate increase was greatest under food grains and oilseeds, but was shared by almost all classes of commodities. In the folloTOng three years, the -prices of food grains and oilseeds fell rapidly, the index numbers for 1904 being lower than the average of the basic period. Hides and slrins and building materials continued to rise. The price of textiles (cotton) rose to 121 in 1904 ; and that of textiles (jute), after a fall in 1901-1903, to 109. The general level stood in 1904 at about the average of the years 1898-1899. (3) Prom 1905 to 1908 prices rose rapidly and continuously. The general level rose to 116 in 1905, to 129 in 1906, and 133 in 1907. The liighest point (143) was reached in 1908 when famine conditions prevailed in Northern India. The general average fell in the next 3 years, but that for 1912 was only slightly below the figure of 1908. The rise during this period extended to almost every land of commodities. 5. The table on page 30 of the report, exhibiting the quinquennial average index numbers of wholesale (rupee) prices, indicates that the increase in prices in the years Particular oommodities. 1908-1912 has been most marked in the case of hides and skins, oilseeds, food grains, and building materials, which have risen 40 per cent, or more above the level of the basic period 1890 to 1894. The quinquennium 1908-1912 includes, however, the famine year 1908 and does not there- fore accurately represent the proportionate rise in the various classes of commodities. A better index is the average of the triennium 1910-1912. During these years the proportionate increase as compared with the basic period has been greatest in the case of hides and skins (65 per cent.) ; raw cotton (58) ; raw jute (68) ; oilseeds (49) ; building materials (46). Pood grains have risen 30 per cent., cotton manufactures 31 per cent., and metals 22 per cent. 6. The report analyses in some detail the local variations in the price level. Comparing the general average Lo al variations prices in the years 1910-1912 with those for the basic period, oca van i ns. smallest uicreases (under 33 per cent.) are shorvn by the ports (except Karachi) and in Assam, where prices in the earlier years were somewhat above the general level. The rise has been greatest (38 per cent, and over) in Karaclii, parts of Madras, Berar, Sind, the Bombay Deccan and the Punjab. In the quinquennium 1908-1912 the increase has been most marked, (40 per cent, and over) in Karachi, Bundelkhand, Berar, Sind, South Madras, the north and west of the United Provinces, the North- West Prontier Province, the Punjab and the Bombay Deccan ; and has been lowest (below 35 per cent.) in the ports of Calcutta, Bombay and Madias and in Assam. The variations reflect, it is clear, the agricultural condi- tions obtaining in the different circles during the years selected for comparison with the basic period. Taken as a whole, the provincial statistics illustrate strikingly the extent to which the development of communications has tended to equalise prices throughout the country. 7. Mr. Datta traces the rise in prices above analysed in part to causes peculiar to India, and in part to causes es of the is which have influenced the price level throughout the world. Under the former head the causes suggested are a comparative shortage throughout the period under enquiry in the production of food stuffs, the increased demand for India’s food products and raw materials, both in India itself and in world markets, the development of communications internal and external, the decrease in the cost of transport, and the growth of banking and monetary facilities. Under the head of world influences he distinguishes the increased supply of gold, the development of credit, the destruction of wealth in recent wars, and the expenditure on armaments. In Mr. Datta’s view, it is in the combined action of these numerous factors that the explanation of the great rise in Indian price levels is to be found. 8. As will be shown later, the relative importance of causes which may be classed as peculiar to India, and of causes which fall rather under the head of world influences, has varied greatly in the course of the years under review ; and the latter have been on the whole the dominant factor in the upward movement of Indian prices. This movement has, nevertheless, been conditioned throughout by developments of an internal order, and amongst these Mr. Datta justly selects Tor special mention the great expansion of communications. As shown in the tables on pages 78, 79 and 82 of the report, between 1890 and 1912, the mileage of Indian railways rose from 15,865 to 31,981, the passenger and goods traffic more than trebled, and freight charges fell on the average by 28 per cent. During the same period the length of metalled roads increased from 36,400 to 51,900. This deve- lopment in the means of communication, apart from its levelling effect already referred to, has brought all parts of the country into much closer touch with foreign markets, and has thus immensely facilitated and enhanced the influence in the direction of a rise which, as will be brought out further on, these markets have exercised on Indian prices. 9. Another factor of smaller, though still considerable, efficacy, has been the improvement in banking and monetary facilities. Eelatively to the inrmense developments in rvestern countries, the Indian banldng system is still in its infaricy. Eemarkable progress has nevertheless been made of late. As indicated in paragraphs 214 to 218 of the report, the paid up capital and' reserves of the Presidency and major joint stock banks (ex- eluding tlie exchange banks) increased by 55-7 per cent, during the decade ending 1911. Private deposits avail- able for commercial enterprise in the Presidency and joint stock banks, including exchange banks, rose, from an average of about 26 crores in the five years 1890 to 1894, to an average of 61 in the quinquennium 1905 to 1909 and of 83 in the years 1910 and 1911, The increase has been exceptionally rapid since 1900. The deposits," which in that year amounted to 31 crores, rose to 51 crores in 1906, 73 in 1909, 82 in 1910, and 85 in 1911. Again* between 1890 and 1912 the value of the cheques cleared at the clearing houses in Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras increased from 138 to 517 crores. There can be no doubt that, as observed by Mr. Datta (page 83, paragraph 214, of the report), the extended use of credit has had an important effect on prices. 10. A still greater influence has been attributed in some quarters to the large additions which, as shown in the table on page 90 of the report, were made to the monetary circulation, during the years 1903-04 to 1907- 08, by the coinage of new nipees. It has been suggested that these additions were excessive, and in the long run largely contributed to, if they did not wholly cpse, the exceptionally great rise in Indian prices. The facts set forth on pages 88 to 94 of the report indicate what little foundation there is for this suggestion. As shoum on page 88 (paragraph 229), whenever the Government of India have coined more rupees, they have been com- pelled to do so by the depletion of their reserves, due to the demands of trade. In 1902-03 the percentage of the rupees held in the currenc}’’ reserve to the total circulation of currency notes was 30-6 ; in 1903-04, 30, In 1904-05, 28'7 ; in 1905-06, 30*4 ; in 1906-07, 29'2 ; while in 1911-12, when coinage was again resumed, after having been in abeyance for some years, it fell to 25T. Moreover, as Mr. Datta has clearly brought out on pages 91-92 (paragraphs 233 and 234), whilst the volume of metallic currency has expanded greatly since the year 1890, there is nothing to indicate that the increase has been larger than what has been required by the growth of business transactions. As far as can be judged from the suggestive statistics (page 93, paragraph 234) in which Mr. Datta has collated the leading data relating to external and internal trade, railway traffic, post office and treasury transactions, the capital of joint stock companies, the consumption of rice, wheat and coal, and the production of jute and cotton, the expansion of business as a whole has probably been more rapid than that of the metallic currency. The Indian currency system of to-day is, in fact, as Mr. Datta brings out (page 88, paragraph 228) really quite as automatic as it was pre-vious to the closing of the mints to the free coniage of silver. Additions to the rupee coinage are determined by the needs of the trade of the country, and the action of the Government is confined to fixing the amount of fresh coinage which it is desirable to undertake at any particular moment. If its action should prove inadequate, trade demands will force on further coinage ; if it should be excessive, the surplus rupees simply lie in the currency reserves till called forth by further trade demands. A rise in prices which is not the result of a diminished supply of commodities must necessarily be attended by an increase in the volume of currency. Both facts are different sides of one and the same phenomenon. But the suggestion above referred to reverses the true order of causation. It has been the increased demand for Indian commodi- ties and the rise in prices resulting, as will be shown later, therefrom, which has necessitated the increased coinage of rupees. 11. Amongst the other possible causes of a rise in prices which are groiiped as peculiar to India, Mr. Datta devotes special attention to the interesting, but difficult, problem of the relation between the supply of food stuffs and the demand for food as measured by the growth of population. The conclusions he anived at may best be presented in his own words ; “ Considering the growth of the population and the increase in the externa! demand ” (he observes on page 61, paragraph 156) “ the supplj’ has been short during the greater part of the period embraced in the enquiry. The demand for both internal consumption an.I exports having increased at a quicker rate than the production of food grains, it is only natural that the general level of prices of food grains over a series of years would rise, although in a particularly favourable year it might have fallen to some extent. The food supply'in India, compared with the demand, both internal and external, reached its lowest level in the quinquennium 1905-09, and this shortage of supply has doubtless contributed, in no small measure, io the unusual rise in prices during that quinquemiium.” And in the final chapter of the report, summing up the causes of the increase in the price level, he states that “ in recent years the production of food grains has not been keeping pace with population. This would explain the almost continuous rise in the price of food grains ” (page 188, paragraph 463). This result is attributed in part to unfavourable seasons, and in part to the failiure of the area under cultivation to expand fari fassu with the population ; and on pages 64 to 66 (para- graphs 169 to 175), it is suggested that the substitution of non-food for food crops has to some extent been res- pon«ible for the latter circumstance. 12. It is evident that Mr. Datta intended these generalisations to be treated as qualified by his remarks elsewhere on the effect of the extended cultivation of non-food crops, and of the increased e.xternal demand for India’s food products. Thus, on page 66 of the report, he observes that the total area which commercial crops have occupied at the expense of food grains is very small compared with the total area under cultivation of the latter, and consequently the effect of this substitution could not have been very great ; and on page 96 (paragraph 240) in discussing the imposition of an export duty on food grains, he points out that the proportion of exports to the total production is ordinarily very low, not rising even in exceptionally favourable years much above 4 per cent. An even more important qualification is supplied by his confident and evidently well-founded conclusions — ^to which fuller reference will be made beloAv — as to the generally beneficial effect of the rise in prices. The whole question, however, is one of much obscurity, and it may be convenient to bring together the leading data bearing on the problem. 13. Mr. Datta’s main statistical results, as far as this question is concerned, are presented in the follo^ving table (page 58, paragi-aph 146), winch compares the grou-th in population uith that in the area under cultivation. 206 and in tlie production of food grains. Tlie figures liave reference to tlie ofiicial year ending on tlie 31st llarcli^ and tlie average of the first quinquennium is denoted by the figure 100, the figures for the years which follow being expressed as percentages of this : — 1 Average of Average of Average of Average of 1 ! the quin- the quin- the quin- tho quin- ! quennium j quennium quennium quennium 1890-91 1895-9G 1900-01 1905-00 1911-12 1 to 1 to to to ; 1894-95 1899-00 1904-05 1909-10 Population v • 100 101-0 i 103*7 1 105-7 107-8 108 4 Total area under cultivation 100 98 103 106 108 100 Area under food grains 100 90 101 102 100 Production of food grains . 100 98 105 99 113 109 As Mr. Datta, however, is careful to point out — ^page 54 (paragraph 134) and page 226 (Appendix D, para- graph 11) — the data from wliich this table has been constructed are, with the exception of the population statis- tics, largely conjectural and uncertain. For the immense areas of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, for about one-third of the Madras Presidency, for the hill tracts in the United Prorinces, and in Assam — and, it may be added, for the Native States, which, though excluded by Mr. Datta, cannot legitimately be ruled out of account — ^neither the area under cultivation nor the area under food grains is known with any acduracy ; and for such areas Mr. Datta had no alternative but to base his statistics of cultivation on more or less arbitrary assumptions. Further attempts to estimate the total outturn of agricultural produce, even when the area is definitely ascer- tainable, are beset with insuperable difficulties. The normal jdelds per acre, the foundation of all such estimates, are notoriously untrustworthy. These yields have been revised from time to time — there has been some revision even since Mr. Datta ’s report was written — but the figures are still far from satisfactory,' and the Government of India have had for some time under consideration the substitution of a more reliable agency for the conduct of the investigations from which the yields are ultimately derived. The remaining factor in the calculation, the percentage of the yearly outturn to the normal, is a still more uncertain quantity, resting as it does bn district returns, which are little more than loose conjectures, vntiated in particular by a distinct bias in the direction of under-estimation. Finally, the whole mass of material, comprising elements of every degree of validity, has to be reduced by a complicated process of averaging and weighting, and'it is evident from a study of the de- tailed results that here, too, considerable further difficulty has been experienced and divergent methods employed. In such conditions, the sounder course from the statistical standpoint is4o dispense with the superficial and misleading appearance of completeness, and to consider what inferences are suggested by a less ambitious enquiry, which confines itself to the more trustworthy of the available statistics. 14.

These figures can, however be supplemented to some extent. As already explained, it is idle to attempt tiny exact estimate of the yield of any given acreage — and without such exactitude, no further progress can be made on purely statistical lines, when a fractional discrepancy only remains to be dealt ivith. But it is known that the cultivated area at the close of the period under review included irrigated land to a considerably greater extent than at the outset, and the consequent improvement of outturn and increased certainty of securing it, must have more than counterbalanced any slight defect in area as compared with population, if indeed any such defect has existed.

An additional factor of crucial importance is the great development of communications already referred to, and its incalculable effect in enhancing the efficiency ” of any given aggregate of food production. This principle, which is a truism of famine policy, is also applicable to the conditions of supplj’^ in normal years, and its bearing on the question of food supply must not be overlooked. — 17. As applied to a country like India, which has the world’s supplies to draw upon, the conception of an absolute shortage, which appears to underlie Mr. Datta’s whole treatment of the subject, can have no valid significance. The real problem as regards a country so situated is obviously to determine whether the purchasing power of the people generally has increased. If that has been demonstrated in the case of India, as Mr. Datta affirms, it may be confidently inferred that the Indian community has continued to provide itself, to an at least •equal extent, with the necessaries of life, which constitute its first requirement. In this connection a very rele- vant consideration is that brought out by Mr. Datta on page 189 (paragraph 455), viz., that " India has now to part with much less of her produce to meet her foreign obligations for the simple reason that her produce has risen in value in European markets.” In virtue of this rise India has been in an exceptionally favourable position for procuring from outside sources such additional supplies of food as she may have needed ; though the statistics of imports of food grains on page 97 of the report do not indicate that in fact the internal supply has required to be supplemented in any markedly increased degree. The statistical study of food production, in short, 1 x 11110 it has a certain value as suggesting a test by which to qualify conclusions independently obtained, ■cannot stand alone. In so far, however, as they admit of separate formulation, the following appear to the Government of India to be the principal inferences which can fairly be drawn from this branch of Mr. Datta’s enquiries. 18. In the first place, strictly speaking, there has been no substitution of non-food crops in the country as a whole. The food Cultivation area has grown, though the area under commercial crops has increased in a higher proportion ; and the more rapid expansion of the cultivation of jute and cotton in certain areas cannot, in view of the very small proportion of the total area which these crops occupy, have exercised any appreciable influence on the general level of food prices. Secondly, so far as trustworthy statistical evidence is available, it would appear that the area under food crops has increased in almost exact correspondence with the growth of population — a fact which must be held to imply the production on the average of a relatively larger and ntore efficient food supply, in view of the large extension of irrigation and transport facilities. The statistical data relating to acreage under food crops do not however, cover the whole ground, as information is admittedly wanting for large areas ; and, partly for this reason, and partly owing to the defective character of the information available regarding the other factors involved, no really reliable estimate of the outturn during the period under review can be framed. Thirdly, as regards export of food grains, 3Ir. Datta has clearly brought out (pages 96-97, paragraph 240) the relative insignificance of the proportion betiveen food exports and food production. Finally, analysis of the general statistics in regard to the increase of prices elicits the very significant point that there was no sustained upward movement of food prices till after 1904. Even in 1899, very shortly after a large temporarj' increase definitely attributable to failure of the rains, food prices had reverted to practically the level of the basic period 1890-1894 ; and in 1904 they fell below it. The causes of the rapid and sustained rise subsequent to this year, which is even more conspicuous in the case of a number of other commodities, must be sought for in a different and independent group of circumstances. 19. The point last mentioned leads up to a distinction, the fundamental importance of^which, though not entirely unrecognised in the report, has been overshadowed in the attempt to deal with the question of food 208 - prices as a self-contained problem. The essential fact which emerges from Jlr. Datta’s enquiry, is the di\Tsion of the history of Indian prices since 1890 into two well marked periods dominated on the whole by ni'dely differ- ent conditions. From 1890 to 1904 internal conditions were the principal factors in the detennination of the price level. Prices rose and fell in the main in accordance with changes in the agricultural conditions from .year to year. The only articles which show a continued rise during tliis period are hides and skins, the prices of which are governed by those prevailing in the world markets ; building materials ; and after 1897, metals. With these exceptions, the only indication of a permanent upward tendency in prices is the increase in the prices of exports from 1900-1901, which affected to some extent the general level in that and the four following years. "Whilst the volume of export trade expanded slowlj' between 1890-1891 and 1899-1900, the average prices of Indian exports, as shown on pages 137-138 (paragraph 334) of the report, were lower in the quinquennium 1895- 1896 to 1899-1900 than in the preceding five years. There are signs in the general foreign price level, the statis- tics regarding which are exhibited in the table on page 48, of an upward movement after 1896, but the advance shown, apart from the exceptional year 1900, was not very marked in most countries, nor does it appear to have exercised any considerable influence on Indian prices till some years after the opening of the new century. 20. With the year 1905 Indian prices entered ujjon a new phase. Prices rose rapidly to unprecedented heights, and so far there is nothing to suggest the probabilit}’- of a reversion to the levels of former years. The explanation of this remarkable phenomenon cannot be found in changes of an internal nature ; ' and examina- tion of the statistics of prices in other countries indicates clearly that the increase in Indian prices has been broadly sjmehronous with a general upward movement in price levels throughout the world, and that its origin s must accordingly be sought in causes more or less common to the whole civilised world. In the United Kingdom prices, taking the average of the Economist's and Sauerbeck’s index numbers, rose between 1903 and 1912, 25 points ; in Germany between 1902 and 1911, 35 points ; in Italy between 1902 and 1911, 21 points ; in Belgium between 1897 and 1911, 27 points ; and in the United States between 1899 and 1912, 33 points. As to the precise causes responsible for tliis phenomenon economic authorities are not as 5 mt completely agreed, but the worldwide character of the rise, and the broad parallelism between this and the upward movement of Indian prices since 1904, are indisputable. 21. The influence on the Indian price level of this notable change in world prices can be traced clearly in the statistics of foreign trade. As indicated above, the average price of exports rose to some extent between 1900-1901 and 1904-1905. But from 1903-1906 onwards the increase has been altogether unprecedented. As shown in the table on page 138 of the report, during the quinquennium 1905-1906 to 1909-1910, the value of Indian exports * exceeded by rather more than 116'6 crores, or an annual average of 23J crores, the value which would have been represented by the same quantities dealt with at the average rates prevailing during the basic period. In 1910-1911 and 1911-1912 the difference in value was even greater, being 42T2 and 48-58 crores respectively. Of these increases, cotton contributed f about 22 per cent., "jute about 28 per cent., hides and skins about 9 per cent., seeds about 13 per cent,, and grains and pulses about 9 per cent. It is to this immensely enhanced demand for Indian commodities of export that the relatively larger rise in the Indian price level as compared with that of other countries is probably to be attributed. MTule the rise since 1904 in the prices of imports, which reflect more accurately than exports the general course of world prices, has been considerable and has assisted materially to raise the Indian level, it has been proportionately much smaller than in the case of exports. I, 22. The social effects of the rise in prices during recent years have been the theme of much discussion in every country. As regards India Mr. Datta’s conclusion, as already stated, is that on the whole they have been beneficial. His views on this aspect of the enquiry are smnmarised in the following extracts from pages 184-186 and 189' of the report. “ There has undoubtedly been a real progress, an increase of wealth and a general diffusion of it, in con- sequence of an increase in the profits of agriculture, and a remarkable increase in wages greater than the cost of li^ring in almost all parts of India during the period of rising prices. There has iirdeed been a very great increase in the annual income of India. Dr. Marshall defines a country’s income as ‘ the net aggregate of commodities and capital, material and immaterial, including sermces, produced annually by the labour of the country acting upon its natural resources.’ It is bejmnd ' ; all doubt that in recent years there has taken place with the development of the resources of the . country and the growth of enterprise on the part of the community as a whole, a very conmderable increase in this annual income.” (Page 184, paragraph 439.) “ The standard of luring amongst all classes of the population, especially among landholders, traders • and lyots, has increased very considerably in recent years, and extravagance on occasions of marriage and other social ceremonies has seriously increased. The average villager lives in a better house and eats better food than did his father ; brass and other metal vessels have taken the place of coarse earthenware, and the clothing of his family in quality and quantity has im- proved. M'e may also say that the increase in passenger miles travelled predicates the existence of spare money to pay for railway fares.” (Page 185, paragraph 443.) “ The wage-earners of all classes and in all circles have secured an increase in wages commensurate with Economic egects. As cKplainod by Eatta on page 139 of the report, the table on page 13S represents the values declared and ealculated, of about 90 r>cr cent, of the exports, liecausc it nas not possible to ascertain the quantities of exports in the case of the remainder. f for the reason given in the preceding note, the percentages cannot be calculated with absolute accuracy. TJie margin of error, however, is insignlQcant. 209 the rise in the cost of living. The only exceptions are domestic servants in cities and other Urban areas in a few circles, and wage-earners employed in some industries.” (Page' 186, paragraph 445). I “ Landlords have, except in some special areas, received increased cash rents, cultivators increased profits from agriculture, and wage-earners generally have gained in consequence of their wages having increased more than prices. It is only jiersons on fixed salaries or dependent on income from seciu'ities and shares, and professional men who live upon customary fees, who have suffered from the rise in prices, ns their income, not being at all elastic, has not risen sufficiently to meet the in creased cost of living. The effects on the different sections of the community in different areas have been in tlic same direction and differ only in degree.” (Page 189, paragraph 455). 23. That there has been during the last 20 years a remarkable growth in the general prosperity of India is a fact recognised by all impartial obseiwcrs, and testified to by all the available statistical evidence. The volume of foreign trade has grown enormously. The quantities of goods carried by rail rose from 23 million tons in 1890 to 48 million in 1903, and 71 million in 1911. The number of passengers by rail increased from 114 million in 1890 to 210 million in 1903, and 390 million hi 1911 . The value of money orders issued rose from IG‘4 crores in 1890-91 to 32'1 in 1903-01, and 48'7 in 1911-12 ; and the fresh deposits in SaNUiig Banks from 2'f)8 crores in 1890-91 to 4‘6C in 1903-01, and 8‘28 in 1911-12. The absoqition of gold has been of late on an unparalleled scale, amounting between 1900 and 1911 to no less than 110 millions sterling, as against 27 millions sterling in preceding 12 years. Great strides have been made in the manufacturing and mining industries. The number of looms and spindles rose, between 1903-01 and 1911-12, in cotton mills from 41,977 and 4,900,106 respcclively, to 81,899, and 0.010,700 ; in jute mills from 18,400 aud 370,718 to 32,927 and 077,519 ; and in woollen mills from 033 and 23,800 to 772 aud 29,309 ; whilst the production of coal has about doubled since 1901. But the most striking evidence perhaps of the improving condition of the people is to be found in the statistics of the import of articles of luxury and convenience such as kcrosine oil, apparel, boots and shoes, matches and soap, which increased by 20 per cent between the basic picriod 1890-91 and 1903-01 ; and by 74 per cent between the latter year and 1911-12. On all sides there arc indications of a higher standard of living. 24. That the rise in prices has contributed to this result is indicated both by the comparatively more rapid e.xpansion under the heads above mentioned since 1901, and by analysis of the statistics of foreign trade. A countr}' necessarily hcnelits by any Bi)ecial demand for its exi)orts, and as has been shown, the demand for Indian o.xports has ex^janded immensely sinc(3 1901-05. Against the gain in this direction has to bo set the increased cost which India has had to ])ay for her imports; but Mr. Datta estimates (pages 138-139, paragraphs 335 and 336 of the report) that, allowing for the increase in the cost of imports, the annual gain to India through the onliaiiced prices obtained for her o.xports amounted during 1900-01 to 1901-05 to 3T crores, dming 1905-06 to 1909-10 to 11-7 crores. and during 1910-11 and 1911-12 to no less than 3k2 crores. It is impossible in the face of the.se figures to doubt that India ns a whole has benefited by the rise in the price level since 1904. It is a matter of greater difficulty to measure the resulting gain or loss to different sections of the community. Adequate data do not in fact exist for any ijiccisc and minute measurement of changes in real income or real cnniings. Corupari.son between the pi ices of goods produced or wages earned, and the prices of goods most commonly consumed, furnishes, however, a rough index of the effects of the rise in prices on the varioiis classes. - 25. Tlie most iinjmrtant section of the community arc the cultivators, who comprise, according to the census of 1911, (Volume I, Bait IT, Table XV) more than half the total population. iVs a rule cultivators grow their own food, and to a.^certain therefore the cliaiig^s in their real income resulting from the rise in prices comparison has to be made between their c.xpeniliture as measured by their payments for rents or laud revenue, wages and commodities purcha.sod, and I, heir income as measured by the prices secured for produce sold. The general conclusion to be drawn from tlii.s conqiarison is uuinistakcable. On tlie income side, in the quitiquennium 1908 — 1912, the wholesale price of niw jute ivas 43 per cent above the level of the basic period 1890 — 1891, that of raw cotton 45 per cent, of hides and skins 59 ])er cent, of oil-seeds 45 percent, of food grains (cereals) 42 per cent, and of food grains (pulses) 43 jier cent-. On the expenditure side, cotton manufactures, the largest item in tlic normal e.xqiendilurc of the cultivator, rose only 25 points, the cost price of salt fell by 3 per cent apart from the reduction of llic general rale of duty from Ks. 2-8-0 to Re. 1-0-0 a maiuid, metals rose 20 per cent, and sugar 9 per cent, while k'oro«inc oil .shows no groat increase. The movements of rents have varied gi'catly in different areas, and as regards tlic different classes of tenants. Grain rents, as measured by tlicir cash value, have no doubt risen proportionately to the rise in prices, but cash rents in general have lagged behind prices ; whilst the enhancements of land revenue in ryotwari areas, so far as attributable to the rise in prices have been comparatively small. Wages have risen more rapidly oven than prices. But, on the balance, tlic gain in real income is niani'c.st. 20. The valuable wage tables inopared by Mr. Datta point to a great improvement in the condition of the wage earning population. 'J'hc collection of reliable statistics of wages has always been a matter of great difficulty in India ; and Mr. Datta’s figures do not in all respects agree with tliosc of the wage census carried out in the years 1911-12. There is no reason to doubt, however, that they rejircscnt with sufficient accuracy the broad trend of wages. In many countries wages have only slowly adapted themselves to the rise in prices ; and the nccossaiy leadjusluient has been attended with much social friction. But in India circimistanccs have favoured the wage-earner. The increasing piofits of agriculture, which as shoivn in JR'. Gait’s report on the census of 1911 (Volume I, paragraph 530) have enhanced the demand for labour on the laud, the demand for 210 labour on public ^vorks, tbe expansion of tbe factory indiistr}' already referred to, and in parts tbe mortality from plague* have combined to promote a great; and rapid increase in wages duiing recent years. 27. Agricultural labourers still constitute the largest section of tbe labouring population. For many reasons changes in the real income of this class are peculiarly hard to measure. Payment in kind is still common ; there are great variations in the continuity of eniploynnent ; and in parts hereditary or customarj’^ obligations affect the rate of remuneration. But the statistics, compiled by Jlr. Datta, of cash wages paid to independent ' laboiu'ers indicate roughly the general movement of earnings since the basic period. As compared 'with this period, cash wages, by 1912, had nearly doubled. AVhen every allowance has been made for the disturbing factors above alluded to and the rise in prices, Mr. Datta’s estimate (Volmne III Statistics, page 203) of an increase of 38 per cent in real income in 1912, as compared with the basic period 1890 — 189i, seems Mly justified. 28. Equally or little less remarkable has been the rise in the real earnings of general labourers and artisans in villages, urban areas and cities. The statistics show advances in money wages ranging from 77 to 98 per cent since the basic period. The case of factory hands, however, is more complicated. Wages in factories were in the earlier years above the general level ; the rate of increase has accordingly been smaller, and has varied much, both as between different industries, and as between factories of the same Idnd in different pro\’ince 3 . In the absence of detailed family budgets, which Sir-. Datta foimd it impossible to prepare, and of information as to periods of imemployTuent and overtime, no exact comparison of nominal and real wages can be made. AA'^ages, however, have been risiirg rapidly in all factory mdustries since 1903, and it seems fairly certain that in the jute, wool, leather and mmmg industries, in the paper industry as a whole, and in the cotton mills of Calcutta, the United Prorinces and the Central Provrinces, thej'^ have risen faster than the cost of living. In the cotton mills of the Bonrbay Presidency, however, where wages in the basic period were higher than in other parts and are still relatively high, and itr those of Madras, it is doubtful whether the rise in money wages, consi- derable though it has been of late, has fully kept pace with the rise in prices. 29. linages on railways exhibit similar variations. In Sind, Gujarat and in the Bombay Deccan, where in the basic period they ruled high, rvages have possibly lagged behind prices of late. But on the whole the wage-ear-ners on railways seem to have sectrred increases in pay more than proportionate to the increase in the cost of living. The same is true for the most part of domestic servants. 30. In the case of the upper and middle classes, material is lacking for any but the most general estimate. The considerable expansion in the income tax receipts suggests, what indeed would seem to be obvious, that for the trading community the period has been one of growing prosperity. Cultivating proprietors have un- doubtedly benefited, while in the case of landlords it has to be remembered that, if rents have risen less rapidly than prices, on the other hand, as indicated by Mr. Datta on pagel45 (paragraph 345) of the report, “ the share of the increased profits taken by Government as the supreme landlord is a comparatively small part of the total increase which has accrued from the rise in prices.” Persons on fixed incomes have certainly suffered, and it is Mr. Datta’s opinion that the professional classes too have bssn adversely aSeotod, but the cir- cumstances of this section of the community do nob appear to have been made the subject of detailed statistical investigation. It may be observed, however, that in the case of the lower paid Government servants, civil and military, various measures in the direction of increased pay have been taken of recent years. 31. It has been shown that the prolonged rise in Indian prices dates from the year 1905, and that its ulti- I\iturc ooui'so of prices. mate origin must be sought in causes which have been operative ' throughout the civilised world. As the growth of communications within India has tended to equalise prices throughout the country, so the parallel development of communi- cations with foreign countries has tended more and more to bring Indian prices Into line mth those of the world in general. The prices of Indian exports are governed by those prevailing the growing influence of foreign trade, Indian prices, apart from temporary fluctuations resulting from the character of the seasons, tend to follow the same course as world prices. The problem of the future course of prices in India is one therefore to which no solution can be found in the analj'sis'of Indian conditions only. It is essentially bormd up with the question of the movement of prices throughout the world. Prices have so far shoum no sign of reverting to former levels. As regards the future, the factors involved, even tmder normal conditions of evolution, are too nmnerous, too complex, and too incalculable in their operation to warrant any definite and confident prediction : and the normal comne has now been interrupted by the catastrophe of general _ war, the total effect of which upon the highly organised western’^systems of production, trade and finance it is quite impossible to forecast. * It is important not to overcBtimate the oconomio effects oE plague wliioh, though a grave calamity aroouutctl only for a small proportion of the tot.!! deaths in the period under rer'iew, and left largo trccts of India practically miaffeotcd. Out of 132} million deaths reported iii British India between 1896 and 1913, rather less than 7 million deaths wore attributed to plague. This opportunity may bo taken of correetiiig some statements on this subject in paragraph 71, page 20, of the report : — (1) The report states that between the first official intimation of plague and the census of 1901, } million had died of the disease. The oorreot figure je about d24,000. (2) The report states that the mortality in the loan of lliiiga in 1907 was 110.20 per mille. It should have been added that the population of tiiis tmm was only 5,412, so that it cannot be taken as a general index in regard to the Province. (3) The report states that “ sinec the Black Dcatli of the l-lth century, there has never been sucli mortality from plague as in Tndia between 1S90 an d 1912.” The Government of India are not aware that authority exists for this categorical statement.
