INTRODUCTION
The SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS is designed to
present each month a picture of the business situation
by setting forth the principal facts regarding the various lines of trade and industry. At quarterly intervals
detailed tables are published giving, for each item,
monthly figures for the past two years and yearly comparisons, where available, back to 1913. In the intervening months the more important comparisons onlv
are given in the "Trend of business movements1'
which is omitted from the present issue.
The present quarterly issue contains the complete
figures for the monthly movements since January,
1922, and the monthly averages for earlier years as far
as the data are available.
ADVANCE SHEETS
Realizing that current statistics are highly perishable and that to be of use they must reach the"business
man at the earliest possible moment, the department
has arranged to distribute advance leaflets almost
every weeE, whenever sufficient material is available,
to those subscribers who request them. The leaflets
are usually mailed on Thursdays, and give such information as has been received during the preceding
week. The information contained in these leaflets is
also reprinted in " Commerce Reports/' issued weekly
by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
The complete bulletin is distributed as quickly as it
can be completed and printed,
BASIC DATA

The figures reported in the accompanying tables are
very largely those already in existence. The chief
function of the department is to bring together these
data which, if available at all, are scattered in hundreds of different publications. A portion of these
data are collected by Government departments, other
figures are compiled by technical journals, and still
others are reported by trade associations.
RELATIVE NUMBERS
To facilitate comparison between different items and
render the trend ofa movement more apparent, relative numbers (often called "index numbers," a term
referring more particularly to a special kind of number
described below) have been calculated. The relative
numbers enable the reader to see at a glance the
general upward or downward tendency 01 a movement which can not so easily be grasped from the
actual figures.
In computing these relative numbers the last prewar year, 1913, or in some instances a five-year average, 1909-1913, has been used as a base equal to 100
wherever possible. In many instances, comparable
figures for the pre-war years are not available, and in
such cases the year 1919 has usually been taken as
the base. For some industries 1919 can not be
regarded as a proper base, due to extraordinary conditions in the industry, and some more representative

period has been chosen. In a few cases other base
periods are used for special reasons. In all cases the
base period is clearly mdicated.
The relative numbers are computed by allowing the
monthly average for the base year or period to equal
100. li the movement for a current month is greater
than the base, the relative number will be gretaer than
100, and vice versa. The difference between 100 and
the relative number will give at o»ce the per cent
increase or decrease compared with the base period.
Thus a relative number of 115 means an increase of 15
per cent over the base period, while a relative number
of 80 means a decrease of 20 per cent from the base.
Relative numbers may also be used to calculate the
approximate percentage increase or decrease in a movement from one period to the next. Thus, if a relative
number at one month is 120 and for a later month it
is 144 there has been an increase of 20 per cent.
INDEX NUMBERS

When two or more series of relative numbers are
combined by a system of weightings the resulting
series is dominated an index number. The index
number, by combining manv relative numbers, is
designed to show the trend oi an entire group of industries or for the country as a whole, instead of for
the single commodity or industry which the relative
number covers. Comparisons with the base year or
with other periods are made in the same manner as in
the case of relative numbers.
BUSINESS INDICATORS
The diagrams on page 2 have been prepared to
facilitate comparisons between a few of the more
important business movements. The lines are plotted
on what are known as ratio charts (logarithmic scale).
These charts show the percentage increase and allow
direct comparisons between the slope of one curve and
that of any other curve regardless of its location on
the diagram; that is, a 10 per cent increase in an
item is given the same vertical movement whether its
curve is near the bottom or near the top of the chart.
The difference between this and the ordinary form
of a chart can be made clear by an example. If a
certain item, having a relative number of 400 in one
month, increases 10 per cent in the following month,
its relative number will be 440, and on an ordinary
chart would be plotted 40 equidistant scale points
higher than the preceding month. Another movement with a relative number of, say, 50, also increases
10 per cent, making its relative number 55. On the
ordinary (arithmetic) scale this item would rise only 5
equidistant points, whereas the previous item rose 40
points, yet each showed the same percentage increase,
The ratio charts avoid this difficulty and give to each
of the two movements exactly the same vertical rise
and hence the slopes of the two lines are directly
comparable. The ratio charts compare percentage
changes, while the arithmetic charts compare absolute
changes.

This issue presents practically complete data for the month of September and also, on page 26, items covering October
received up to November 14. As most data covering a particular month's business are not available until from 15 to 30 days
after the close of the month, a complete picture of that month's operations, including relative numbers, cumulative totals,
text, and charts, can not be presented in printed form under 45 days after its close, but the advance leaflets described above
give considerable information as early as 15 days after its close, and present almost every week the latest data available*
Summary for October based upon early items is given on page 1.

PRELIMINARY SUMMARY FOR OCTOBER
Early reports on industrial and commercial conditions in October indicate greater activity than in the
previous month. Increased output was noted in the
iron and steel, zinc, cement, and cotton-weaving industries. Awards for new building construction were
larger than in September or a year ago while the mill
consumption of silk although considerably over October, 1923, was slightly below the September level.
Unfilled steel orders again increased while the forward
business of locomotive manufacturers was also larger
on October 31 than on September 30. Bookings of
fabricated structural steel declined seasonally but were
larger than a year ago.
Sales by mail-order houses and 10-cent chains increased in October over both the previous month and
a year ago. Car loadings were larger than in October,*
1923, while postal receipts in the 50 largest cities increased over both the preceding month and a year ago,
14424°—24f

Wholesale prices and retail food prices increased over
September.
The dollar volume of business, as indicated by October check transactions, was larger than in either the
preceding month or a year ago. Investments of Federal reserve banks continued to mount while rediscounted bills of member banks declined. Loans and
discounts of member banks outstanding at the end of
October indicated greater accommodation than at the
end of the previous month or a year ago.
Prices of industrial stocks averaged higher than ir
September while railroad shares were lower* Earlj
November registered higher prices for both classes o
securities. Interest rates in October showed relatively
little change from the September levels. The numbe
of failures in October was larger than in September o
a year ago while defaulted liabilities of failing firms
though larger than in September, were considerabl
below a year ago.

BUSINESS INDICATORS
The following table gives comparative relative numbers for a selected list of important business movement*. It Is believed
that this table will prove useful, because it separates out from the large mass of material a comparatively nniall number of items
which are often regarded as indicative of business in general.
The table has "been divided into two parts, the first containing those items for which relative numbers can be calculated, UMHR
1913 as a base. The second:part contains items for which comparable duta bark to 1913 are not available. This latter group of
relative numbers is calculated by letting the 1919 monthly average equal 100* Care should therefore be itxerciHed in comparing the
absolute value of the two sets of data. In either group, however, the upward or downward trend of the relative numbers, compared
to previous months> does-reflect the present tendency in each item ami will give a basin for business judgment.
Where available at the time of going to press, November 14, October indicators have been included, thus bringing this table
up to date. It should be noted that the charts on page 2 9how September data as the latest plotted.

COURSE OF BUSINESS IN SEPTEMBER
GENERAL SUMMARY
Manufacturing activity during September was in
general on a higher level than in August. Increases
were registered in the ouiput of pig iron, steel ingots,
automobiles, rubber tires^ coal, both bituminous and
anthracite, lead, gold, wheat flour, sole leather, boots
and shoes, and in the mill consumption of silk, wool,
and cotton. Production declines from the previous
month were recorded in zinc, petroleum, copper, lumber, sugar, locomotives, and cigarettes.
New awards for building construction in September
declined slightly from the August totals, the decreaso
being due to smaller awards for residential building.
Mail-order sales increased seasonally in September
while ten-cent chains . recorded smaller business.
Bank debits and clearings were larger for the country
outside of New York City than in August while check
transactions in New York were in smaller volume,



both movements being considerably abovo a year
ago, however. Commercial interest rates continued
to average lower irhile call loan rates exhibited a
stiffening tendency. Factory employment increased
in September while wholesale prices declined. Defaulted liabilities of failing irms were smaller in September than in August, but larger than a year ago.
Carloadings, although below a year ago, were
larger than in August, while loadings of miscellaneous
merchandise and grain and grain products exhibited
increases over both periods. Imports of merchandise
into the United States increased 13 per cent over the
August total, while exports from tho United States
made an advance of 29 per cent over August. Imports of gold in September declined from the previous
month and a year ago, while gold exports were larger
than those of either comparative period.

SUMMARY OF INDEXES OF BUSINESS
PRODUCTION

Production of manufactures in September, as measured by the index of 64 commodities, based on the
1919 monthly average as 100, stood at 113 as compared with 108 for August and 113 for a year ago.
Groups sharing in the general advance over the August
output included textiles, iron and steel, leather, chemicals, tobacco, and miscellaneous manufactures, while
foodstuffs, lumber, stone, clay, and glass, and nonferrous metals recorded declines from the August
totals.
The weighted index of mineral production at 131
for September based upon the 1919 monthly average
as 100, companies with 126 for August and 138 for a
year ago. Declines in the output of individual
minerals from September, 1923, were recorded in
petroleum, bituminous coal, iron ore, zinc, while increases over a year ago were registered in anthracite
coal, copper, lead, gold, and silver. With respect to
the output of minerals in the previous month, the
September production of petroleum, iron ore, copper,
and zinc was smaller.
The movement of crops to market, as indicated by
the weighted index, based on 1919 average monthly
marketings as 100, stood at 193 for September as
against 129 for August and ,144 a year ago, the inincrease in the general index over a year ago being



due to larger marketings of grain and cotton and cotton products.
The index of animal marketings stood at 110 in
September as against 108 for Augu3t and 108 a year
ago, increases being noted over a year ago in the movement to market of all animal products except hogs,
eggs, and fish.
The production of forest products as seen from the
combined index based on 1919 as 100 stood at 117 for
September as compared with 122 for August and 124
a year ago, all products of the forest sharing in the
general decline from a year ago.
COMMODITY STOCKS
Stocks of commodities held by manufacturers at the
end of September, as measured by the combined
weighted index of 45 basic commodities, relative to
average monthly stocks in 1919 as 100, stood at 136
as compared with 134 on August 31 and 118 on September 30, 1923, after due adjustment for normal
seasonal tendencies. Stocks of raw foodstuffs, manufactured foodstuffs, and other manufactured commodities, at the end of September, were larger, than the
inventories for these commodities a year ago, while
raw materials for manufacture, at 18 per cent% above
the 1919 average, showed no change from the holdings
of a year ago.

9
SALES

Manufacturers' sales tended to broaden in September. The unfilled order index for eight basic commodities, representing principally the iron, steel, and building industries and based upon the year 1920 as 100
stood at 46 on September 30 as compared with 58 a
year ago.
The index of wholesale trade, based upon the 1919
monthly average as 100, stood at 92 for September as
compared with 83 for August and 91 a year ago, the
principal increases over the trade of September, 1923,
occurring in groceries, drugs, and dry goods, with
declines rioted in shoes and meats.
Sales of mail-order houses, as measured by the index
of four houses, based on 1919 as 100, were computed at
106 for September as against 74 for August and 92 a
year ago, while the index of sales of five 10-cent chain
systems stood at 169 for September as compared with
172 for August and 151 a year ago.
PRICES

Prices received by producers of farm products as
measured by the new monthly index of the Department
of Agriculture and based upon the average prices during the period 1909 to 1914 as 100, stood at 129 for
September as against 137 for August and 130 a year
ago. All classes of agricultural produce except grains
and meat animals exhibited a decline from a year ago,
while the principal declines from the previous month
occurred in the prices of fruits and vegetables, and of
the cotton and cottonseed groupings.

The wholesale price index of tho Department of
Labor, based on 1913 average prices as 100, stood at
149 for September as against 150 for August and 154
for a year ago, the decline in tho index from the previous month being due to lower prices for farm products, cloths and clothing, fuel and lighting, and metals
and metal products, with increases in foods, chemicals,
and miscellaneous goods. As regrouped by the Fudcral
Reserve Board, this index shows agricultural products
at 164 compared with 195 in August and 103 a yoar ago,
animal products at 123 against 123 in August and 131
a year ago, forest products at 180 against 175 and 196,
and mineral products unchanged at 166 as against 176
a year ago. The group price index for raw products
at 152 compares with 154 for August and 158 tor a year
ago, while the indexes for prices of producers* goods at
130 compare with 131 and 139 and for consumers' goods
at 158 compare with 156 in August and 158 a yoar ago.
Commercial wholesale price indexes increased in
September over the previous month.
The Federal Reserve Board's indexes of wholesale
prices for international comparison showed a decline
for the United States from 158 to 156; a decline in tho
British index from 173 to 172 ; a decline in tho French
index from 442 to 435; and a decline in Canadian
prices from 149 to 146.
Retail prices of food as measured by the index of the
Department of Labor advanced 2 per cont in September over the previous month, the index for that month
at 147 comparing with 144 for August and 149 a year
ago. The cost of living index advanced from 163 to
164 and compares with 163 for September a year ago.

Mail-order sales by the two leading systems advanced in a seasonal movement, the September volume
being 21 per cent larger than a year ago. Thus far
this year the aggregate sales volume totaled $257,970,000, an increase of 7 per cent over the same period of
1923. Sales by four leading ten-cent chains declined
but were 13 per cent larger than a year ago, this
increase being in some measure due to the increase in
the number of unit stores. During the first nine
months of 1924 the four chains recorded sales amounting 8242,504,000, an increase of 12 per cent over the
same period of 1923.

The computed figures given are obtained by first determining for a given month the per cent which the actual production is of the normal production of the identical j^fjj

» Debits to individual accounts are collected b y the Federal Reserve Board from about 150 of the larger clearing-house centers. These data represent check transactions
more fully than clearings inasmuch as all checks debited to individual accounts are included and not merely those passing through the clearing house. The figures given
are mnbincd from weekly totals, the first and last weeks of tho month being prorated.
• Figures on bank clearings, showing volume of check transactions passing through the clearing house, compiled b y Bradstreets. Clearings outside N e w York
represent 117 cities each year, estimates for some of the smaller cities being necessary in earlier years to complete the data.
