Released March 1963 - March 29, 1963 SELECTED ECONOMIC INDICATORS EIGHTH FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT METROPOLITAN AREAS ST. LOUIS EVANSVILLE LOUISVILLE SPRINGFIELD, MO. MEMPHIS FORT SMITH LITTLE ROCK P re p a re d by R esea rch D epartm ent F e d e ra l R e se rv e Bank of St. Louis THESE DATA are presented as an aid in following economic developments in the district's metropolitan centers. Because economic activity by its very nature is a composite of many different segments, a more meaningful picture of economic developments can be obtained by considering the entire set of indicators as a whole rather than by placing undue emphasis on any single indicator. Moreover, there may be shortcomings in each series which may create a misleading impression. All the data have been adjusted for seasonal variations. In addition, in order to smooth erratic fluctuation in the data, the electric power, department store sales, and check payments series are presented as three-month moving averages. It should be noted that the most recent index presented for each of these three indicators is an average of the last two months and is subject to revision. The index of the industrial use of electric power is Based on data provided to this Bank by the public utilities in each area. Employment data are developed by the respective State Employ ment Security Offices. Cooperating department stores in each center provide total sales figures. It should be recognized that these data relate only to department store sales and do not necessarily reflect trends and fluctuations in other categories of retail sales or of total retail sales. Check payments, or debits, are reported monthly by all or a sample of commercial banks. The date for total deposits and business loans are provided by the weekly reporting banks- in each area, the monthly figures being averages of weekly data.
