The Data
These data are presented as an aid for the analysis of
economic developments in the Central Mississippi Valley.
T h e emphasis is on economic activity in the metropolitan
areas and five states completely or partially within the
Eighth Federal Reserve D istrict.
Because of the com­
plexity of the economic process, a more meaningful analysis
can be made by considering the entire set of indicators for
a particular area rather than relying on any single one.
Moreover, there may be technical shortcomings in some
series.
A ll area data are presented in both unadjusted and adjusted-for-seasonal-variation form. Index numbers are on a
1957-59 base. In addition, in order to smooth erratic fluc­
tuations, the index of check payments is an average of the
indexes for three months and is centered on the middle month.
Basic employment data are developed by the respective
State Employment Security Offices.
Th e data for total loans and total deposits of member
banks are averages of data for the last Wednesday of the
preceding month, the Wednesday preceding the 15th of the
current month, and the last Wednesday of the current month.

Check payments are reported monthly by all or a sample
of commercial banks in each area.
Check payments are
debits to demand deposit accounts, except interbank and U.S.
Government accounts, and the index is also adjusted for
number of trading days in each month.

The consolidated employment indexes are based on com­
bined data from the metropolitan areas.
The consolidated
index for check payments is based on reports from the 8
metropolitan areas and 11 other centers and includes 138
respondent banks. The consolidated banking indexes include
all member banks in the Eighth Federal Reserve D istrict.

National data are from reports of the Department of Labor
and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Basic state personal income figures are obtained from
Business Week, and farm cash receipts data are developed by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Footnotes for charts:
1. A ll member banks
2. Three-month moving averages (except latest month, which
is a two-month average)

3. Annual figures are totals for the year.
are cumulative (year to date).
4. Millions of dollars

Monthly figures

Explanatory Comments

All employment data for the metropolitan areas of St. Louis,
Louisville, Memphis, Evansville, and Springfield and for the states of
Arkansas and Tennessee have been revised to a 1969 benchmark level.
New seasonal adjustment factors have been computed for bank loan and
deposit data for the United States and for all metropolitan areas.
Personal income data for Arkansas and Tennessee and total employment
data and the unemployment rate for the United States have also been
revised.
Revised data are not yet available for all metropolitan
areas and states included in this release. Therefore, the pages
entitled "Eight Central Mississippi Valley Metropolitan Areas" and
"State Summary" are not included.
