SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS WEEKLY SUPPLEMENT UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BUREAU OF FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC COMMERCE WASHINGTON, D. C , JANUARY 19, 1939 SUMMARY OF BUSINESS TRENDS TNDUSTRIAL activity has picked up following the curtailment over the year-end holiday period, but the seasonally corrected data indicate a rate somewhat under that prevailing prior to Christmas week. The production of steel ingots for the week of January 14 stood at 52 percent of capacity, and the schedules for the following week indicate a rate of 53 percent. This is almost double the rate a year ago, but the indicated production for the first 3 weeks of the year is lower than the average rate in December whereas, the usual.-seasonal ino\x-iaent-,, is upward. Automobile production for the second week of the year totaled 86,925 units, a moderately higher total than in the 2 preceding weeks, but less than the weekly rate in the first 3 weeks of December. Assemblies of automobiles are about onethird higher than a year ago. After allowance for the influence of the holidays, freight-car loadings have shown very little change since the middle of December. Additional data on retail trade in December confirm earlier indications of a relatively favorable movement during the preholiday period. Sales of general merchandise in rural areas showed a more-than-seasonal increase over the November figures. The index at 129 (1929-31 — 100) was only slightly below the 1937 high recorded in October of that year. The movement of commodity prices for the year to date reveal only minor changes in price relationships. Moody's index of 15 coxp.na3^itie^,/ie.filijied^fll-fgljtiyfc-.l^it.v?.t, the end. of the week was higher than in mid-December. Retail prices of department store articles, as computed by Fairchilds, have shown no important change since last July, but in December they were about 5 percent lower than at the end of 1937. Security prices have moved lower since the first of the year. The Dow-Jones average of 30 industrial stocks was off 4 percent between January 3 and January 14.
