Fisher1 s formula is fthe best1 measure of general exchange value if we desire to compare two years only, and not a series of years each with the other; his correlative formulas for prices, and quantities are f the best* only if we are interested in the same quantitles in both cases ... The geometric average with constant weights (or weights changed only occasionally) appears to be f ideally1 better than Fisher1 s formula if we desire to compare a series of years each with the other* In addition, the geometric average has the practical advantage that fewer data and half the labor are required for its computation. The accuracy of the geometric mean combined with relative ease in calculation make it superior for most purposes to Fisher's index. SILBERLING, Norman J.

His general price level index is a composite of wholesale commodity prices, wages, cost of living and rents. Its accuracy is checked by dividing it into the estimated total of checks against bank deposits (the latter as a measure of payments of all kinds in exchange of goods, property and services) and comparing the result (being thus an estimate of total quantity of trade) with two measures of trade activity recently calculated by the author. Professor ^isher will be interested in the acceptance of his factor-reversal test implied in this procedure. Abstract by B.D. Mudget, AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW, XIV, Dec. 1924, ?• 596.

Federal Reserve Bank, Mr. Snyder has prepared this index of the rate of turnover of bank deposits. The two curves show a close correspondence and seem to substantiate his former conclusion that the variations in business activity are probably not more than % above or below normal, Abstract by B.

Group indexes are constructed for (l) productive activity, (2) primary distribution, (3) distribution to consumers, (4.) general business activity, and (5) financial activity; and finally a weighted composite of all. General explanations are given of methods of measuring trend and Seasonal and, where necessary, of allowing for influence of price changes. A full account of methods of computation with complete data is promised later. Abstract by Bruce J),ftxdgett,AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW, XIV, June, 1924, P- 400.
