Errata in July 1957 SURVEY, National Income Number
Page 29: table 45, line 1, figure for fourth quarter should read "426.0".




Pages 30 and 31: table 51, figures in line 11 are combined totals for lines 10, 11, and 12.
Figures in lines 16 and 17 should be transposed. Combined totals for
lines 17,18, and 19 will be the figures in line 17 after correcting for transpositions.

BUSINESS STATISTICS
THEISTATISTICS here are a continuation of the data published in BUSINESS STATISTICS, the 1955 Statistical Supplement to the SURVEY OF
!
CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $2.00) contains monthly data for the years 1951 through 1954 and monthly averages for earlier years
back to 1929 insofar as available; it also provides a description of each series and references to sources of monthly figures prior to 1951. Series
added or significantly revised since publication of the 1955 Supplement are indicated by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (f), respectively. Except
as otherwise stated, the terms "unadjusted" and "adjusted" refer to adjustment for seasonal variation.
Statistics originating in Government agencies are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. Data from private sources are provided
through the courtesy of the compilers, and are subject to their copyrights.
[Averages for the year 1955 are provided in the July 1956 issue of the SURVEY]
Unless otherwise stated, statistics through 1954 and
