INTRODUCTION.
Two changes in form are made in this issue of the Monthly Survey to further simplify its use: First, instead
of grouping all tables of index numbers together and all tables of numerical totals, each table of index numbers
is grouped with the table of numerical totals corresponding; second, a simplified summary of index numbers
rearranged slightly for the sake of clearness.
The form of the summary table has been changed so as to give the per cent increase or decrease for each
movement for each of the last three months compared with the month preceding. Also there is given the
percentage comparison of this year with a year ago and a comparison with the base year. It is hoped that
this summary will assist in giving a general picture of industrial activity.
Many helpful criticisms and suggestions in regard to the " Survey " have been received. Up to the present
it has been impossible to take advantage of all these, but some will be utilized in later editions. New tables,
giving more details on the foreign trade of the United States and certain foreign countries, have been added.
Further tables of this nature will be included in the later numbers. Price data on certain definite commodities
have been added to some of the tables, and this feature will also be extended in later issues. A diagram comparing the mill, or producers', price of certain commodities at present with the peak attained during the war
will be found on page 8. Also, tables showing the changes in department store trade by Federal Reserve
districts are included in this issue (pages 74 and 75).
Certain tables contained in the former issue have been omitted. Some of these, such as those dealing
with the fats and oils, will be used again when the next quarterly figures are available. The information in
certain other tables, omitted this time, will be included later.
These changes and additions in form and character are in no small measure due to the constructive criticisms which have been received. In acknowledging these suggestions, the Department of Commerce wishes
to state that the publication is still in the formative state, and further suggestions will be welcome.

SUMMARY.
The following summary is designed to show the trend in important industrial and commercial movements. In the first three columns there is given the per cent increase or decrease for each of the last three months. The fourth column gives the per cent change
compared with a year ago, while the last column gives a percentage comparison with the base year used in computing the index numbers.
The column headings refer to the last three months for which, in the majority of items, data is available. However, in cases where movements are reported only quarterly, the first three columns compare the last three quarters. Where data are credited to September, 1921,
as in the case of "farm crop prices" (p. 84), this figure is shown in the August column. Where the August or July figure is not available,
these columns are left blank, and the yearly comparison is for the latest figure compared to the same month a year ago.
The details for each item can be ascertained by reference to the proper table in the body of the bulletin.
A few items in which the movement is shown in terms of percentage (not index numbers), such as active wool machinery, underwear
production, etc., are not included in this summary.

* The preliminary report from the Bureau of the Census shows that, in 1919, the total production of knit underwear in the United States amounted to 26,517,000 dozens,
compared with 28,032,000 dozens in 1914. In terms of monthly averages, the 1919 output was at the rate of 2,209,000 which, by comparison, indicates that the normal production of the mills reporting above comprises about 40 per cent of the industry.
WORLD COTTON STATISTICS.
The Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, reports that: ''The world's production of commercial cotton, exclusive of linters,
crown in 1920, as compiled from published reports, documents, and correspondence, was approximately 18,810,000 bales of 500 pounds
net, while the consumption of cotton (exclusive of linters in the United States) for the year ending July 31, 1921, was approximately
15,520,000 bales of 500 pounds net. The total number of producing cotton spindles both active and idle is about 155,000,000."

The "total" number of looms and spindles reported in the earlier years does not represent the totals for the country but only such as furnished reports. Assuming that these were a fair sample of all machines, they furnish a basis to calculate the proportion of active machinery each year. The 1913figureswere collected by the
National Association of Wool Manufacturers.
2
These figures are for cotton crop years (beginning Aug. 1 and ending July 31). Figures opposite any one year represent the monthly average number of active
cotton spindles for the period beginning Aug. 1 of preceding year.

i The data on leather products, given in Tables 12 to 15 are based on the monthly census of hides, skins, and leather, as compiled by the Bureau of the Census.
The figures embrace returns from between 4,500 and 5,000 establishments, including packers, tanners, dealers, importers, and manufacturers of shoes, gloves, and other
leather goods. As given in the census reports, the returns on leather are shown in numbers of skins, sides, backs, butts, pounds, etc. For the present summary, these
figures have been converted either to pounds or square feet on the basis of average weights and sizes.

Except data on cement reported by the Geological Survey which is placed here for convenience.
The computed figures for production and stocks furnished by the Southern Pine Association is based on the output and stocks of 184 identical mills. The
computed production figure given bears the name relation to the normal production of the identical mills as the actual production bears to the normal output for the total
number of mills reporting each month. The same is true in the case of stocks. By normal production the Southern Pine Association means the average output for the
first 4 months of 1916. Normal stocks refer to the average stocks for the 16 months ending with April, 1916. The normal monthly production of the 184 mills is given
s 484,227 M ft., and normal stocks as 1,219,736 M.ft. The index numbers given on the opposite page are based on the computed figures for production and stocks.
• Association states that these figures represent reports from 25 mills during the period stated and constitute about 90 per cent of the total oak-flooring industry.
* Figures prior to 1921 are taken from the yearly reports of the Geological Survey. The compilation of monthly reports begins with January of this year.

Monthly figures are based on estimated total production as explained on opposite page.
The 14 products included in this table are: Pig iron, billets, slabs, sheet bars, wire rods, steel bars, plates, structural shapes, black galvanized and blue annealed
sheets, tin plate, wire nails, and black pipe.
* The Bridge Builders and Structural Society stale that reports in the earlier years were not as complete as during the last six or seven years. The total tonnages
are probably 10 to 15 per cent less than they slWuld be. .The August, 1921, production is stated as equivalent 1O 33 per cent of the entire capacity of the country.

Yearly figures represent the monthly averages of total production of all companies as compiled annually by the American Iron and Steel Institute. The institute
reports monthly productionfiguresfor 30 companies which, in 1920, produced 84.2 per cent of the total output of the country. In order to make the monthly figures
comparable, they have been calculated to a 100 per cent production on the basis of the above percentage.
2
The 14 products included in this table are: Pig iron, billets, slabs, sheet bars, wire rods, steel bars, plates, structural shapes, black galvanized and blue annealed
sheets, tin plate, wire nails, and black pipe.
3
The Bridge Builders and Structural Society state that reports in the earlier years were not as complete as during the last six or seven years. The total tonnages are
probably 10 to 15 per cent less than they should be. The August, 1921, production is stated as equivalent to 33 per cent of the entire capacity of the country.

At end of month, exclusive of Canadian roads. The American Railway Association reports the number of freight cars which are idle (surplus) and also the
number of requests for cars which can not be filled (shortage). The difference between these two figures represents the net freight car situation for the country as a whole. The
car shortages can not ordinarily be filled from the idle cars because of the uneven geographical distribution of the latter.
