INTRODUCTION.
To visualize the current trends of business and industry
monthly, the Department of Commerce has found it
necessary to condense and compile a large volume of
information. These facts have been of service to the
Department in its attempt to grasp the changing business
conditions. It is believed they may be useful to the
business public and that the figures, in some measure,
will assist in the enlargement of business judgment.
To concentrate such a mass of information in convenient form and to make it useful for study and comparison, the data have been coded into relative figures,
or index numbers, where necessary. These index numbers enable the reader to see at a glance the general
upward or downward tendency of a movement, which
can not so easily be grasped from actual figures.
STATISTICS COMPILED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.
The basic figures used in the accompanying tables are
largely those already in existence and are collected from
Government departments, trade associations, etc. In
cases where the basic data have been collected by outside
agencies the Department of Commerce assumes no responsibility for their accuracy or completeness. The figures
used, however, are in some cases those generally accepted
in business circles as sufficiently complete to represent the
current trend of the given industrial movement, and in
other instances are vouched for by the trade association.
To be of value such information must be widely diffused
and digested by the business men of the country. It is
not enough that the banks and the big business concerns
should understand the trends in business; the small
manufacturer and the small dealer must have some
understanding, too, so that there may be some semblance
of unity in action. The Department hopes to reach this
audience by offering to them these data.
In preparing these figures every effort is made to
secure accuracy and completeness. On the other hand,
it is realized that timeliness is often of more value than
extreme accuracy. In certain cases it is necessary to
use preliminary figures or advance estimates in order to
avoid too great delay in publication after the end of
each month.
How
RELATIVE FIGURES ARE COMPUTED.
In computing the relative figures, the attempt has
been made to use the average of the last prewar year,
1913, as a base equal to 100. In many instances the
basic statistics do not go back to the prewar years and,
in such cases, averages for the year 1919 have been
taken as a base. In a few cases still other base years
have been used for special reasons. These facts, together with the source of the basic data, are indicated
in the several tables. Certain commodity movements,
such as the production of cottonseed oil, cold-storage
holdings, etc., are very seasonal in character. In
calculating the index numbers no allowance has been
made for this, since it was thought better to let this
fact show in the relative figures themselves.
For those unfamiliar with the use of such relative
figures a word of explanation is necessary. Take the
figures in the first column of Table 2, which deals with
the bank clearings in New York City as reported monthly
by Bradstreet. In 1913 the average monthly clearing
amounted to $7,886,000,000. This number is allowed
to equal 100 on our relative scale. In January, 1920,
the total bank clearings were $23,210,000,000, or equivalent to a relative number of 294, when the 1913 average
is taken as 100. In June, 1921, bank clearings in New
York City were only $16,849,000,000, or on the relative
basis only 214. By subtracting 100 from any relative
number we obtain at once the per cent increase or decrease
above or below the base year. Thus bank clearings in
January, 1920, were 194 per cent above the 1913 average,
and in June, 1921, they were 114 per cent above the
same base. In the number of business failures, as reported in column 3 of Table 2, the relative number for
January, 1920, is 43, indicating a decrease for that month
of 57 per cent below the 1913 monthly average.
