August (page 1), for which the basic figures in table and chart form are presented regularly in the weekly supplements.
As most data Covering a particular month's business are not available until from 15 to $0 days after the close of the month,
a complete picture of that month's operations cannot be presented at an early date, but the Weekly supplements give every

PRELIMINARY SUMMARY FOR AUGUST
On the basis of early figures business activity in
August was higher than in any other similar period on
record. Commercial transactions, as indicated by the
volume of checks passing through the banks for payment, were higher than were reported for any previous
August on record. Activity in steel plants, though
receding somewhat from the high level reported for the
preceding month, was greater than in any other midsummer period. The movement of merchandise
through primary channels, as reflected by the volume
of freight-car loadings, also reached a level not hitherto
attained at this time of the year.
This sustained activity in business was registered in
68342—29
1
the face of a decline in wholesale prices, which were
not only lower than in the previous month but lower
even than in August, 1928. Interest rates on time
funds were somewhat stronger than prevailed in the
preceding month and were higher also than a year ago.
Loans and discounts of Federal reserve member banks
showed practically no change from the preceding
month but were higher than a year ago. Prices for
stocks, both railroad and industrial, reached new high
averages during August, while bond prices, reflecting
the rise in interest rates, continued to show declines.
Business failures were less numerous than those reported for August of last year.

MONTHLY BUSINESS INDICATORS
The principal business indicators are shown below, all calculated on a comparable basis, the average for the years 1923 to 1925,
inclusive. Thus the table gives a bird's-eye view of the business situation in a concise form, so that trends of the principal indicators
may be seen at a glance.
Certain indicators, in which there is a marked seasonal movement, are shown with the average seasonal variations eliminated,
as noted below. In this manner a more understanding month-to-month comparison may be made.

except hides and leather, textiles, chemicals, and fuel

clay, glass, nonferrous metals, tobacco products, and vehicle factories. Employment in all industrial groups in
July was greater than was reported for the same month of

INDEXES OF BUSINESS
The index numbers presented in this table are designed to show the trend in production, prices, trade,
etc., by commodities or groups. They consist in general of weighted combinations of series, of individual relative
numbers; often the individual relative numbers are also given. The function of index and relative numbers
is explained on the inside front cover. All of the index numbers, except where noted, are based on the average
of the years 1923 to 1925, while maxima and minima are given only since 1923, thus eliminating the abnormal
period prior to 1923. Complete descriptions and figures for earlier years may be found in the following issues
of the Survey (later data being available in the latest semiannual issues): Production in the July, 1928, issue

Compiled by the Bureau of the Census. Data for individual industries have been published in previous issues of the Survey beginning with September, 1928.
Because of the fact that the products of many manufacturing establishments are used as materials by other establishments, the aggregate value of products as given above
is considerably in excess of the total value of finished products in the form in which they reach the ultimate consumer. Figures relate to manufacturing plants with
outputs valued at $5,000 and over.

i Compiled by Standard Statistics Co. (Inc.'). The indexes are weighted by the number of shares of each stock outstanding and are corrected for the value of right,
stock dividends, changes in par value, and consolidations. Weekly indexes have been averaged to give monthly data which are presented in these tables. This table rep
resents details of group averages shown in table on page 22 of the July, 1929, SURVEY and is a continuation of the table shown on pp. 20 and 21 of the August, 1929
SURVEY. Further details will appear in subsequent issues.

with explanations as to the sources and exact extent of the figures quoted. The figures given below should
always be read in connection with those explanations. Data on stocks, unfilled orders, etc., are given as of the
end of the month referred to. For explanations of relative numbers, including base periods, see introduction
