S i r : I have the honor to submit herewith for publication the fifty-

fifth annual issue of the Statistical Abstract of the United States.
This annual volume is a convenient summary of authoritative sta­
tistics showing the trends in trade and industry as well as social
progress and is extensively used by business men, economists, stat­
isticians, and students.
The present volume has been prepared in the Division of Economic
Research, under the general direction of Ernest A. Tupper, acting
chief of the division, and the more immediate charge of Martha
Hunter. The volume represents a digest of data collected hy all
statistical agencies of the National Government, as well as those of a
considerable number of private agencies and several States. M any
of these offices and agencies have been of great assistance in furnish­
ing advance data and also in the actual preparation of the tables used
in the Abstract. Special mention in this connection is due the
following offices of the Federal Government: The Bureau of the
Census, the Bureau of Fisheries, and the Bureau of Mines of the
Department of Commerce; the Bureau of Agricultural Economics
and the Weather Bureau of the Department of Agriculture; the
Bureau of Immigration and the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
Department of Labor; the Office of Education of the Department of
the Interior; the Federal Board for Vocational Education; the
Statistical Division of the Income Tax Unit of the Treasury Depart­
ment; the Veterans’ Administration; the Interstate Commerce Com­
mission; the United States Shipping Board; and the Division of
Research and Statistics of the Federal Reserve Board.
Respectfully,
W

*Based on land area.
s in comparing this percentage of increase with that shown for the decade 1910-1920, allowance should
be m ade for the fact that the period between the censuses of 1910 and 1920 was less than a full decade, and
that between the 1920 and 1930 censuses was more than a full decade. A n increase of 16.1 per cen t for 123
m onths (the time between Jan. 1,1920, and A pr. 1,1930) is equivalent to 15.7 per cent for exactly 10 years;
and the 1920 increase for 116^ months (the time between A pr. 15,1910, and Jan. 1, 1920) is equivalent to
15.4 per cent for 120 months. M aking this adjustment, the rate of increase for the decade ending in 1930
is only slightly higher than that for the preceding decade.

POPULATION— DENSITY BY STATES

No. 5 — DENSITY OF POPULATION PER SQUARE MILE, BY STATES
N ote .—T he population of continental United States has been divided b y the total land area, although it
included at each census some unorganized territory which was not canvassed b y the enumerators. For
each State or Territory the population as returned at a given census has been divided b y the land area
as constituted at the time that census was taken. The areas of Indian reservations, outside o f Indian
Territory, are included in the areas o f the several States and Territories, although the population was
not ascertained and can not be considered in figuring density of population prior to 1890. T he census of
1870 in the Southern States is considered incomplete. Population density in 1930 o f Alaska, Hawaii,
and Puerto R ico, and o f Philippine Islands, December 3t, 1918, based on gross area, and not land, area*
was as follows: Alaska, 0.1; Hawaii, 57.5; Puerto R ico, 449.5; Philippine Islands, 90.0

POPULATION BY STATES
No. 11.— POPTJIATION:

A nnual

M id y e a r

E s tim a te s

by

S ta te s

N o te .— Estimates of population from 1923 to X930 are based on the assumption that the increase
(or decrease) each year between the censuses of 1920 and 1930 is equal to the annual average change between
the two enumerations. For 1931 and 1932, the total population is estimated upon the basis of the avail­
able birth, death, immigration and emigration figures and the increase in the United States total distrib­
uted to the various States according to the per cent which each State increase was of the United States
increase between 1920 and 1930. If a State showed a decrease in population between 1920 and 1930, the 1930
census figure was used and no estimate made. For actual enumerations, 1790 to 1930, see Table 6, p. 4

No. 40.-—FAMILIES BY TENURE, AND AVERAGE POPULATION PER FAMILY
N o t e .— A family is defined as a group of persons related either b y blood or b y marriage or adoption who
live together as one household usually sharing the same table. Single persons living alone are counted
as families, however, as are a few small groups of unrelated persons sharing the same living accommoda­
tions as “ p artners/’ In the 1920 count, inmates of an institution were treated as a single family as were
also other quasi-family groups. Families not reporting tenure are included in the totals for all families.

1 Because of changes m ade in 1930 in the classification of agricultural pursuits, it is impossible to group
the 1920 occupations exactly according to the 1930 classification. It is believed, however, that the effect
of the difference in grouping on the com parability of figures here presented is negligible. Figures have
been adjusted to exclude those em ployed on turpentine farms classified in “ Agriculture” in 1920 (see N ote 5).
2 Since, in 1920, only farm laborers on general farms were distinguished as working on “ home farm ” or
“ working o u t /’ farm laborers on dairy farms, stock farms, truck farms, poultry farms, etc., who were, in
fact, working on the “ home farm ” as “ unpaid family workers" were not included in “ Farm laborers (home
farm) ” Hence, as here com piled for 1920, the number of farm laborers classified as “ Wage w o r k e r s p r o b ­
for FRASER
ably is somewhat too large, and the number classified as “ Unpaid family w orkers" somewhat too small.

2 Neither in 1920 nor in 1930 was the attempt to distinguish chauffeurs and motor truck drivers from
3
draymen, teamsters, and carriage drivers very successful.
2 Teamsters in agriculture, forestry, and the extraction of minerals are classified with the other workers
3
in those industries, respectively; drivers for bakeries and stores are classified as deliverymen in trade, and
drivers for laundries are classified as deliverymen in domestic and personal service.
2 Included with “ Draymen, teamsters, and expressmen" in 1920.
4
2 Because of indefinite returns b y census enumerators, it is probable that some stationary engineers
6
were included with locom otive engineers, and some firemen of stationary boilers with locom otive firemen

DEAF-MUTE POPULATION
G e n e r a l N o t e . —The

figures contained in this section ran not be taken as an absolute index of conditions.
T he provisions for the care of these classes are so divergent in different States, and in the same State at
different times, that the enumeration of persons in certain institutions m ay be far from reflecting the
true differences or changes in the relative number of such persons in the population at large. Moreover,
the methods o f enumeration have been changed from time to time. The difficulty o f formulating an
adequate definition, the large element o f personal judgm ent of the enumerator, and reluctance on the part
o f individuals to admit defects, all affect the accuracy o f the data

3. VITAL STATISTICS
G e n e r a l N o t e .— Vital statistics are registered b y the States in the first instance, but duplicates of the
original certificates of individual births and deaths are received and tabulated b y the Census Bureau.
Owing to the gradual expansion of the “ registration” areas (see Tables 68, 74, and 83), the number of births
and deaths for the areas as a whole are not strictly comparable but, in most cases, the rates are affected very
slightly.
General tables cover the registration area in continental United States. Hawaii and the Virgin Islands
are shown separately in certain tables. Stillbirths, shown in Table 78, are excluded from data for both
births and deaths.
Rates for the years 1920 to 1929 are based on population estimates revised to conform with the 1930 census
returns. Rates for the years 1930 and 1931 are based upon the best estimates of population available at
this time.
Beginning with 1930 the Bureau of the Census includes Mexicans with the colored in tables showing
data b y color. In such tables, for this section, Mexicans have been included with the white for 1930 and
1931 in order that the data m ay be comparable with previous years.

IMMIGRATION

No. 9 6 .— IMMIGRATION QUOTAS ALLOTTED, AND QUOTA ALIENS ADMIT­
TED: B y C o u n t r y o e R e g i o n o f B i r t h , Y e a b s E n d e d .Tt j n e 3 0
N ot e .—The immigration act of 1921 limited the number of aliens admitted annually of any nationality

subject to the quota law, to 3 per cent of the number of foreign-born persons of such nationality resident
in continental United States as determined b y the Census of 1910; the population plan of the act of 1924,
to 2 per cent according to the Census of 1890. The national origins clause of the latter act, which became
effective July 1, 1929, provided that the quota of any nationality should be computed b y applying to
150,000 the ratio between the calculated number of inhabitants in continental United States in 1920
owing their origin to the nationality concerned and the total inhabitants in the United States of all
nationalities subject to the quota law. (For estimates of white population b y countries of origin, calcu­
lated as a basis for immigration quotas, see Table 97, Statistical Abstract, 1932.) Under the act of 1924,
the minimum quota is 100. Both immigrant and nonimmigrant aliens m ay appear in quota law sta­
tistics, or aliens of both classes m ay not be counted against quotas at all

1 Quota for 1924; revisions from 1922 or 1923 allotments for certain countries were made due to changes in
boundaries or other adjustments.
2 Admissions from certain countries in excess of quota occurred in 1922 in cases involving unusual hard­
ship.
3 The total quota for 1930 and 1931 was 153,714. The change in 1932 was due to a decrease in Russia’s
quota from 2,784 to 2,701 and new allotments of 100 each for Bessarabia and Hejaz and Nejd.
* AH Ireland included with United Kingdom prior to 1925; thereafter. Northern Ireland only.
* Includes quota immigrants born in colonies, dependencies, or protectorates of European countries.

1 Figures include 1920 census data for States in which there are no Indian agencies. 2A s of Apr. 1.
3 Beginning 1930, Indians no longer under the jurisdiction of the Office of Indian Afiairs are not included.
T he decrease between 1930 and 1932 was due to the elimination of freedmen and intermarried whites of the
F ive Civilized Tribes and the inclusion of the Census Bureau figure. See note 4.
* Figures include data for the Five Civilized Tribes, as follows: 1900, 84,570; 1910, 101,278; 1920 and
1930, 101,506. The latter figure is according to the final role of M ar, 4, 1907, and includes 23,405 freedmen
and 2,582 intermarried whites. It is impossible to give a reliable estimate of living members. The 1932
figure includes 72,643 members as reported b y the Bureau of the Census.

N o t e — Prior to 1914, table covers quinquennial years and years in which considerable changes occurred

in the num ber of Regular A rm y. Figures for Officers' Reserve Corps include Regular A rm y enlisted

VETERANS’ ADMINISTRATION

147

G e n e r a l N o t e .— U nder the act of July 3, 1930, all governmental agencies affecting war veterans were
consolidated into one establishment, the Veterans’ Administration. The various forms of veterans’ relief
are summarized below.
P en sion s are awarded to veterans and dependents of veterans of all wars whose claims are based on m ili­
tary or naval service prior to April 6, 1917, and after July 2, 1921. The average payments vary according
to the age of the veteran and the war during which the service was rendered.
D om iciliary care is provided for all honorably discharged veterans who have been disabled b y disease
or wounds so as to be incapacitated for earning a living and who have no adequate means of support.
C om pensation is awarded for death or disability resulting from personal injuries received or diseases
contracted in the m ilitary or naval service on or after April 6,1917, and before July 2,1921, or for an aggra­
vation or recurrence of a preexisting disability resulting from such service. T he rates o f compensation
range from $8 per m onth fora temporary disability to $200 per m onth for double permanent total disability.
In some instances a $50 allowance for an attendant is granted in addition to other compensation.
D isability allow ance .—An amendment of July 3, 1930, provides for a disability allowance to ex-service
men who served 90 days or more during the W orld W ar and who are suffering from a permanent disability
of 25 per cent or more not acquired in service and for which compensation is not payable.
Y early renewable term insurance .-—During the period of the war and until July 2,1927, yearly renewable
term insurance ranging from $500 to $10,000 was issued. All term insurance not converted into permanent
U nited States Governm ent life insurance before July 2, 1927, lapsed. Claims upon such policies are paid
in 240 m onthly installments except where there is no beneficiary named or where the beneficiary named
dies before receiving all o f the payments, the remainder is paid in one sum.
M edical and hospital care .—In addition to compensation payments, the disabled person is furnished
reasonable Government medical, surgical, and hospital service and supplies, and appliances considered
reasonably necessary. Governm ent hospital facilities are also available for veterans of the SpanishAmerican War, the Philippine Insurrection, the Boxer Rebellion, or the W orld W ar, suffering from neuro­
psychiatric or tubercular ailments and diseases, paralysis agitans, encephalitis lethargica or am oebic dysen­
tery, or loss of sight of both eyes, whether such ailments or diseases are due to m ilitary service or otherwise.
T he administration is also authorized, as far as Government facilities permit, to furnish hospitalization and
necessary traveling expenses to veterans of any war since 1897, without regard to the nature or origin of their
disabilities. B y act of June 11, 1930, retired enlisted men of the N a vy and Marine Corps and transferred
members of the Fleet Naval Reserve and the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve were placed on an equal footing
with veterans entitled to hospitalization under previous acts.
Vocational rehabilitation .—Under the act of July 27, 1918, honorably discharged ex-service men who were
unable to carry on in a gainful occupation successfully were provided with vocational training at Govern­
ment expense. Rehabilitation activities of the bureau ceased with the close of the fiscal year 1928.
United States Governm ent life insurance. —U. S. Government life insurance is issued in any multiple of
$500, not less than $1,000 or more than $10,000, upon the payment of premiums at a net peace-time rate,
with no extra charge for administration or excess m ortality due to the hazards of war. (For forms of insur­
ance see Table 147; for rates, Table 143, Statistical Abstract 1932.) The policies carry the usual provisions
com m on to policies issued b y commercial companies, such as extended insurance, paid-up insurance, cash
surrenders, and loans. Dividends are also paid from excess of interest earnings and savings in mortality.
A djusted com pensation .—The act of M a y 19,1924, authorized the payment of adjusted compensation to all
veterans of the W orld War, excluding officers above the grade of captain in the A rm y or Marine Corps or
similar :rank in the N a vy and Coast Guard. The rate of adjusted compensation for service in excess of
60 days is $1.25 and $1 per day and the amount of credit is limited to $625 and $500 for overseas and home
service, respectively. Veterans entitled to not more than $50 are paid in cash and others are given a 20year endowment insurance policy for an amount that the adjusted service credit increased b y 25 per cent
would purchase at the age of the veteran on the birthday nearest the date of the certificate, w ith interest
at 4 per cent com pounded annually. A n amendment authorized the bureau to make loans to veterans
on adjusted-service certificates. Applications for adjusted compensation m ay be filed to January 2,1935.
R etirem ent o1 disabled em ergency officers .—The act of M a y 24? 1928, provides that all emergency officers who
served during the W orld W ar who have a permanent disability incurred in line of d u ty of 30 per cent or
more shall receive retirement pay and be entitled to the same privileges as provided for officers of the Regular
A rm y, N avy, or Marine Corps who have been retired for physical disability incurred in line of d uty.

9. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT FINANCES
General note as to bases used in com piling statistics o f receipts and expenditures o f the United States Govern m ent.— Four different bases are used in compiling both the receipts and expenditures of the Government.
These bases, in the case of receipts, are the daily Treasury statements (unrevised and revised), warrants
issued, and collections reported. The expenditures of the Government are published on the first three of
these bases and also on the basis of checks issued. Figures in the daily Treasury statements (unrevised)
which are on a current cash basis are compiled from the latest daily reports from the Treasury offices or
public depositories. Owing to the distance of some of these offices and depositories from the Treasury,
reports from them are somewhat delayed in reaching the Treasury, and consequently it is necessary to issue
the unrevised Treasury statements before they are received. In order to show the actual receipts and
expenditures for any month or year, it is necessary to take into account these delayed reports. T he figures
for actual transactions during a month or year which are calculated b y the use of these reports are said to
be on a basis of daily Treasury statements (revised). T h e unrevised figures are the basis of the Budget
estimates submitted to Congress b y the President.
It is provided b y law that warrants shall be issued b y the Secretary o f the Treasury in acknowledg­
ment of m oney received, and that warrants must be drawn b y the Secretary o f the Treasury for all dis­
bursements of money. Some of these warrants for expenditures do not represent actual payments but
are merely advances of credit to disbursing officers, who then issue checks in paym ent of Governm ent
obligations. Expenditures on the basis of warrants issued include unexpended balances to the credit of
disbursing officers at the end of the year but do not include expenditures made during the year from unex­
pended balances of the preceding year.
Expenditures on the basis of checks issued (Table 166) represent most accurately the actual expenditures
during any given year. T hey differ from expenditures shown b y daily Treasury statements (revised),
because they include checks outstanding at the end of the year and exclude unpaid checks at the beginning
of the year.
All figures for receipts and expenditures include the figures of postal surpluses or deficiencies only and
consequently leave out the gross figures of postal revenues and expenditures.

1 Totals prior to 1922 are not comparable with later years because of changes in classification of general
and special expenditures.
2 In the fiscal years 1921, 1922, and 1923, material changes were made in classification of expenditures
between legislative establishment, executive proper, and other independent offices and commissions.
3 Alien property funds included under executive proper prior to fiscal year 1922*
4 Payments for veterans’ relief made prior to Aug. 11, 1921, b y the War Risk Insurance Bureau are in­
cluded under Treasury Department, and b y the Federal Board for Vocational Education, under other
independent offices and commissions. Figures shown under Veterans’ Administration represent Veterans’
Bureau for 1922 to 1930. In 1931, Veterans' Bureau, Bureau of Pensions, and Bureau of National Homes
were consolidated into one establishment.
6 Refunds of customs and internal revenue receipts and investments of Government life insurance fund

6 Bureau of Prohibition transferred from Treasury Department to Department of Justice on July 1,1930.
7 Post Office Department expenditures for 1921 include $65,576,000 paid to the Railroad Administration.

ing payment of so-called back railway mail pay to inland carriers.

The figures represent collections b y internal revenue officers
throughout the country, including deposits b y postmasters of amounts received from sale of internal rev­
enue stamps and deposits of internal revenue collected through customs offices, and, therefore, differ
from those in Tables 160, 162, and 165 which represent the deposits of these collections in the Treasury or
depositaries during the fiscal year concerned, there being thus an overlapping of time. Certain items,
included in the totals in the last column, are shown in detail in the second part of the table

VALUE OF PROPERTY AND STATE FINANCES

No. 1 9 8 .— ASSESSED VALUATION OF PROPERTY SUBJECT TO GENERAL
PROPERTY TAX, 1931
N ote. —
Data shown are taxable values of property subject to the general property tax for the use of State

governments. Property belonging to railroads, telegraph companies, and a number of similar corpora­
tions is in some States distinguished as real or personal, but in a number of States it is treated as a single
total. In the latter case, figures for such corporations and also other property and franchise valuations
of corporations for which data were insufficient for a complete distinction of real from personal are not
shown separately but are included in the totals

MONEY
No. 8 1 9 .— STOCK OF MONET IN THE UNITED STATES, BY KINDS

Figures prior to 1890 have been revised from the best available
data, but the older records, especially from 1860 through the early 70’s, are not com plete and figures for
gold and silver those years are only estimates. Figures beginning 1890 have been com piled on the basis
of revised figures for June 30 of each year and therefore differ slightly from the m onthly circulation state­
ments. In 1927, data were revised to include minor coins beginning 1900 (no satisfactory data available
for earlier years) and gold coin and bullion held abroad for Federal reserve banks and to exclude ear­
marked gold. Gold and silver certificates and Treasury notes o f 1890 are not shown, since equivalent
amounts held in trust against them are included in gold coin and bullion and silver dollars.

N o t e .— A m ounts in th ou san d s o f dollars.

4 Figures for State banks and private banks revised.
» In 1921 returns from California, which in 1920 had shown 106 stock savings banks, included all banks
except 1 mutual savings bank with State banks, which accounts for part of the increase in State banks and
the greater part of the decrease in stock savings banks. In subsequent years returns showed separate
statistics for each class of banks.
* Average for all private banks for the 6 months ended M ay 31,1880, as reported to the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue for taxation purposes.
7 Stock savings banks included with mutual savings banks <fr State banks, in 1880 and 1885. For deposits
in savings banks for earlier years, see Table 254, p. 244.

fiscal years for others; other data are for calendar years. The last colum n should not be added to other
items, as there is much duplication between it and them. For example, savings banks and life-insurance
companies both invest their assets in the securities of corporations. On the other hand, m any forms of
savings, some o! large amount, are not listed

o t e .— Prior to 1620 data are for all cities reporting to the New York Clearing House Association;
mencing 1020 they are for 166 identical cities. The comparability of these Agrafes is affected (1) by c
ion of banks, elimii
in the number of cities i
“ , and (2) by the tendency toward consoli
'
former clearings between two or more bunks. Debits to individual account (Tables 271 and 272)
more significant measure! of volume of payment. The divisions shown in this table, with the exce;
of the New England, differ from the geographical divisions shown in most tables in the Abstract.
Eastern division includes the States comprising the Middle Atlantic division In other tables (s for
example Table 247) and Delaware, Maryland, and District of Cdtumbfe of the Soath Atlantic divM
the Southern includes the other six South Atlantic States, the East South Central and the West Sc
Central States with the exception of Oklahoma; the Middle Western includes the East North Ceii
States, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri; the Western, North Dakota. South Dakota, Nebraska, Kan
Oklahoma, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado; the Pacific, Washington, Oregon, California, Ids

1850 t o 1922, a n d b t C l a s s e s os* P r o p e r t y , 1900 t o 1922
N otb .—Estimates of national wealth for the earlier censuses were not made by precisely the same
methods used more recently and are not closely comparable. Changes in buying powez of money, as
indicated by levels of prices and wages, materially affect the comparisons (see price tables in sec. 14).
For distribution of principal classes of property by States for 1912 and 1922, see Statistical Abstract,
1932, Table 275. There have been no official estimates of wealth since 1922

14. PRICES
G e n e ra l N o te .—The wholesale price index of the Department of Labor Is based on primary market
quotations of 784 commodities beginning 1926; a smaller number of commodities was covered in earlier
years. In weighting the prices included in the index, the biennial census reports of 1923 and 1925 have
been used for most manufactured products and for other products the average for the years 1923 to 192$
where trustworthy information was available as in the case of agricultural products. Beginning with 1921L
in computing indexes for commodity groups, articles falling under more than one of the classifications
adopted were included under each classification. For example, articles produced on the farm which reach
the consumer practically unchanged in form, such as potatoes, milk, and eggs, were included among both
farm products and foods. However, in computing the index for all commodities such articles were counted
only once.
The retail food index is based on the weighted average quotations (weighted by average family consump­
tion in 1918) as of the 15th of the month, secured from retail stores in 51 cities since 1920 (from a smaller
number in earlier years) for 22 commodities from 1913 to 1920, for 43 commodities from 1921 to 1928, and
42 thereafter.
The farm price index is constructed by weighting prices paid to producers for 27 products (30 products
for 1922 to 1925). Average quotations for the period, August, 1909-July, 1914, are used as a base, and each
price series is weighted by the average annual marketings of farmers in the years 1918 to 1923.

15.—WAGES, HOURS OF LABOR, AND EMPLOYMENT
[For data relating to hours of labor and wages shown in other sections, consult the index]

No. 316.—INDEX NUMBERS OF WAGES PER HOUR

(E x c lu s iv e o f A g r ic u l­
tu re )
N o t e .—These index numbers we based on such information as afforded comparisons through a series of
years. No one series of directly comparable data extends through the entire period, although many
trades and industries are continuously represented in the table. Agricultural wages are not included in
the indexes given in this table, but are presented separately in Table $30; this separation was made because
of the seasonal character of the industry, the wide differences in methods of hiring, and the perquisites
so often forming a part of the farm wages. The figures in this table indicate the change in earnings per
hour when wage workers were actually at work, with 1913 as the base year. During the period, regular
full-time working hours have been greatly reduced; hence the figures do not apply to full-time earnings per
day or per week. Further, they do not reflect actual earnings in periods of broken time or unemployment

No. 317.—INDEX NUMBERS OF WAGES PER HOUR, COST OF IIVTNG,
AND REAL WAGES
N

o t e — The general trend of wages per hour presented in Table 316 relate to the money received per hour by
the wage earner as compensation for his work. The real measure of his wage, however, is not his money
income, but what he is able to buy with it. In the following table, therefore, index numbers relating to
wages per hour and to cost of living are brought together and from them a third index number is com­
puted showing the change in the worker’s “ real wage”

No. 339.— TRANSPORTATION OF DOMESTIC MAILS
N

Since Nov. 1, 1916, all service on steam
railroads is authorized and paid for under the space basis system; formerly, payments were based on
a system of quadrennial weighings. Railway mail space units of service vary in size and character and
may consist of a'car, a section of a car, or a closed pouch carried on a car. Some cars are railway post
offices, others are for storage only, over 20 classes of units being distinguished. The “ equated unit”
represents a calculation of the equivalent of all the different units in terms of a 60-foot car. Annual
rate of expenditure (regular authorizations) represents estimated cost for transporting normal mail traffic
over regular routes only, based on contracts outstanding at the end of each fiscal year. “ Annual cost"
includes emergency and side and transfer service. Average rates are based on “ regular authorizations’ *

N ote.—Companies engaged in interstate business are required to report both as regards interstate and
intrastate business. Prior to 1923 the classification of companies based on the amount of annual operating
revenues was as follows: Class A, over $250,000; Class B, $50,000 to $250,000; Class C, $10,000 to $50,000.
Class B now includes companies with revenues from $100,000 to $250,000 and Class C those with revenues
from $50,000 to $100,000. The smaller companies, Class D , are not covered in the table

i Total income less all expenses, including depreciation; for 1917, 1922, and 1927 does not include charges
for sinking and other reserve funds.
i Not including land-line-system plant and equipment to the value of $20,000,000 reported as cable-system
plant and equipment for 1912 and 1917. (In statistics for preceding censuses an item of $20,000,000 funded
debt, offset by the same amount for plant and equipment, was carried against ocean-cable telegraphs. This
debt being really a land-line-system debt, is eliminated from the figures for ocean-cable system in 1922
and 1927.)
*Includes land-line-system plant and equipment to the value of $20,000,000 (see note 2).
4Includes sinking fands and stock and bond discount.
6 Includes sinking and other special funds.

1The fuel equivalent for water power is calculated from the reported horsepower of installed water
wheels. Prior to 1890 data were unsatisfactory, but estimates are included in the total.
» Calculated at 26,200,000 British thermal units per ton.
1Based on the amount of coal displaced by gas, as estimated by the gas companies at the time.

N

o t e . —Data prior to 1919 are totals for central stations and electric railways as reported by Bureau of the
Census; thereafter, they are estimated totals for all plants, based on returns from about 3,500 plants in
1919 to about 3,900 in 1932, each producing 10,000 kilowatt-hours or more per month, engaged in publio
service, including central stations, electric railways, steam railroads generating electricity for traction,
and certain other plants. The capacity of plants reporting is about 95 per cent of that of all plants

ELECTRIC LIGHT AN® POWER

No. 369.— CENTRAL ELECTRIC STATIONS:

E q u ip m e n t , E m p lo y e e s , O u t p u t
Sales
N o t e . —A central electric station is one selling current to public or private consumers, or a municipal plant
supplying current for streets, public buildings, etc. Isolated or private plants operated solely for the
benefit of the owner in connection with factories, mines, stores, hotels, institutions, etc., which in the
aggregate produce great quantities of current, are not included. The business of electric street railways
is shown only so far as that portion of their business relating to the sale of current can be segregated.
Electric plants operated by the Federal or State Governments are excluded even when they sell current
to private consumers. One central electric station often sells current to another, so that there is consid­
erable duplication in total sales. Net sales are considerably less than current generated because of wire
losses, self consumption, etc.

W ATER POWEB

No. 864.— DEVELOPED AND POTENTIAL WATEB POWEB
Data for developed water power cover capacity of actual installation
of water wheels and turbines in plants of 100 horsepower or more. The figures for potential power are
estimates showing the 24-hour horsepower available 90 per cent of the time and 60 per cent of the time
at an over-all efficiency of 70 per cent at all developed and undeveloped sites. These figures for potential
power are not directly comparable with those for developed power, because developed power is usually
given in terms of the capacity of installed water wheels or turbines, which may be several times the poten­
tial power available 90 per cent of the time. Probably with complete development of the water-power
resources of the whole country the installed capacity would amount to 80,000,000 horsepower or more

N ote.—In thousands of horsepower.

Potential water
power available—

Developed water power (capacity of actual installation)

iThe figures for 1921 are based only on price of 5-passenger open cars of a given chassis. Thus, if
this model sold for less than $1,000, the total production of cars with the same chassis is included in the
“ under $1,000” class, even though dosed models sold for over $1,000. In 1922 and later years actual f. o. b.
prices of open and dosed models are considered separately and the cars induded under proper classification.

20.— TRANSPORTATION AIR AND LAND—STEAM AND
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS, EXPRESS COMPANIES, AND
CIVIL AERONAUTICS
[B a ta i n tliia s e c t io n r e la t e to c o n t in e n t a l U n it e d S ta tes u n l e s s o t h e r w i s e M a ted ]
o t e ,— The total steam railroad mileage o f the United States includes: (a ) Regular inter­
state carriers (and their nonoperating subsidiaries) reporting to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
(6) switching and terminal railroads, also reporting to the commission ; and (c) private railroads (defineq
by the commission as “ circular” because they report on brief circulars and as “ unofficial” ). Except in
certain mileage data the circular and unofficial companies are not included in any o I the statistics. The
switching and terminal roads were formerly included with operating railways, but are now separated, and]
data Tor them do not appear in most of the tables.
Nonoperating subsidiaries indude proprietary companies, which are covered b y the reports of operating
carriers, and lessor companies which nave no traffic and whose imports appear only in statistics of capitali­
zation, dividends, and investment.
Operating railways are divided into three classes, according to the amount o f gross operating revenue in
1919: Class I, having more than $1,000,000 of such revenue; Class II, from $100,000 to $1,000,000; and Class
III, less than $100,000. During recent years more detailed reports are required from Class I carriers than
from smaller companies. The basis of the figures in each table is indicated by notes. Omission of Class
and Class
railroads affects very little the comparability of statistics with those of earlier years as
regards most items, since the bulk of the business is done by Class I.
The Interstate Commerce Commission divides railroads geographically into three districts and eight
subsidiary regions. Each railroad is treated as a unit and placed wholly in some one district or region.
Broadly speaking, the eastern district includes territory east o f Chicago and north of the Ohio and Potomao
Rivers; southern district, territory east of the Mississippi River and south of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers;
and western district the remainder of the country.
Class I companies make monthly reports and the yearly totals from these become available earlier than
the sometimes slightly corrected totals from the final annual reports. The latest figures in these tables!
are in many cases from the monthly reports.

No. 406,— PERSONS KILLED AND INJURED IN RAILWAY ACCIDENTS
N ote.—For various reasons, including the fact that returns were required under different acts, the statistics
are not strictly comparable. Prior to 1921, train accidents were those causing damage to railway prop­
erty in excess o f $150 or any damage and a resulting casualty. Thereafter they were considered as such
when the damage exceeded $150 with or without a casualty. Where the damage isless than $150 and
there is a reportable casualty it is classified as a train-service accident. Figures for years 1911-1915 in­
clude industrial and other nontrain accidents to employees only, and for years 1908-1910 do not cover
switching and terminal roads. Otherwise the statement covers all reportable accidents

This table does not include the electric operations of steam railway companies. Many electric
railway companies also engage in other operations, especially in the sale o f current for light and power;
wherever possible, such light and power business has been excluded, but for numerous companies this
is impossible. No distinction can be made in the statistics between purely urban street railways and
suburban and interurban lines. The insignificant amount of business still conducted by cable and
animal traction is included, as well as some operations conducted by primarily electric railways by!
means of steam traction and gasoline engine cars. In the trackage statistics of this table, each track of a
double or multiple line is counted separately. Mileage figures expressed in nearest mile

as merged and not included in the number reported.
* Compressed air.
* Includes 1.26 miles of nonelectric track in 1922,1.20 miles in 1927.
4 Complete data not available. In 1927 a number of composite companies included the value of electric!
railway road and equipment in the value of their entire plant and equipment reported on their combined I
balance sheet on the light and power schedule and advised that this could not be separated. Statistics for
Central Light and Power Stations include their combined figures.

General note as to units of measurement.—“ Cargo tonnage” represents weight of cargo in long tons (2,240
pounds) or short tons (2.000 pounds). A11 other tonnage figures refer to capacity of vessels. The terms
gross and net tonnage refer to space measurement, 100 cubic feet being called 1 ton. Gross tonnage is the
capacity of the entire space within the frames and the ceiling of the hull, together with those closed-in
spaces above deck available for cargo, stores, passengers or crew, with certain minor Exemptions. Net
or registered tonnage is what remains after deducting from the gross tonnage the spaces occupied by the
propelling machinery, fuel, crew quarters, master’s cabin, and navigation spaces. It represents substan­
tially space available for cargo and passengers. The net tonnage capacity of a ship recorded as ‘ 'entered
with cargo” may bear little relation to actual weight of cargo. Dead-weight tonnage is the weight in
long tons required to depress a vessel from light water line (that is, with only the machinery and equip­
ment on board) to load line. It is therefore the weight of the cargo, fuel, etc., which a vessel is designed
to carry with safety. Displacement tonnage (naval vessels) has reference to weight of the vessel itself
With its normal equipment, fuel, etc.

1Includes the following, with figures for 1931: Harbor traffic of New York, Philadelphia, and San Fran­
cisco (40,623,000 tons); local traffic of other seaports (24,469,000); local traffic of lake ports (5,722,000).
aExcluding St. Marys Falls Canal traffic (44,614,000 tons in 1931) and additional Detroit River traffic
(21,798,000 tons in 1931), both of which are already counted in Great Lakes traffic; also excluding duplica­
tions relating to rivers and canals themselves.
1Principally coastwise and lake traffic passing through canals and connecting channels, other than the
St. Marys Falls Canal and the Detroit River.
1Estimated from data in this table on the assumption that all the duplications deducted from the grand
total represent duplications in domestic traffic; there are, however, some minor rases of duplication con­
nected with foreign traffic.

INTERNAL WATERWAYS

No. 4 2 1 .— COMMERCE 0 7 PRINCIPAL UNITED STATES OCEAN POSTS, 1931
N o t e —In thousands of short tons of 2,000 pounds. la addition to the commerce here shown, many of
the ports have (1) commerce with ports on internal riven and canals; (2) purely local port traffic, including
in the case of New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, what is caned intraport traffic between parts
of a harbor for which separate statistics are maintained. These forms of traffic, although the aggregate
tonnage is large, are of much less economic importance than foreign and coastwise traffic

1 Sailing vessels, canal boats, and barges.
* Doc. 31.
'
* The decrease of tonnage arises principally from the registered tonnage having been corrected in 1818,
1829, and 1830 by striking off all vessels the registers o f which were granted prior to 1815, which were sup­
posed by the collectors to have been lost at sea, captured, etc.
,
* Sept. 30.
* Including Puerto Rioo in all years shown and Virgin Islands beginning 1920.
®Including Hawaii and Alaska.
7 Motor vessels included in steam in 1910.

EXPORTED

N ote .—Agricultural production prior to 1009 is the estimated value of farm products, excluding crops fed
to livestock; beginning 1909 it is gross income, excluding feed, seed, and waste. Value added b y manufac­
ture represents manufactures. Value of mine products in 1909 and 1019 are census figures, in 1929 census
data plus petroleum products, while estimates for other years are based on data of the Bureau of Mines.
As the figures are not adjusted for price changes the increase or decrease in absolute values from period

Ho. 464.—INDEXES OF CHANGES IN QUANTITY, UNIT VALUS (PBICS), AND
TOTAL VALUE OF EXPORTS OF UNITED STATES MERCHANDISE AND
GENERAL IMPOSTS
N ote.—The purpose of them indexes is to eliminate the effect of price changes upon the total value of trade.
They have been constructed by the so-called ideal formula, the essential feature of whichis the use of the
quantities of the several articles for each pair of years compared as weighting factors of their unit values.
About 265 commodities were included in the direct calculations for exports and 100 in those for Imports.
It was then assumed that the price movement for commodities not included in thecalculation wasthe
same as for those selected. For exports, the value of each economic class was adjusted by the computed
price index for that class and included in the aggregative totals from which the quantity indexes were
calculated. For imports, it was assumed that the prices of articles not covered had moved as those covered
save only that in making the adjustment the effect of abnormal price movements of heavily weighted
commodities was first eliminated. In constructing the indexes the data for 1919 were linked directly to
1913 and each subsequent year was compared with that preceding. The resulting year-to-year percentages
were made into a series by the chain method

Ho. 456.— MERCHANDISE TRADE OF CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES WITH
FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND OUTLYING TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS
o t e .— This table differs as to its geographic basis from all other foreign trade tables in this
section and in other publications: (l)In the case of other tables the data represent the trade of the “ cus­
toms area,” which includes continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, with all foreign
countries, including the Philippine and Virgin Islands. The data do not oover trade between continental
United States and the three territories of Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. (2) The present table takes
continental United States as the basis. In the totals, trade between it and Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto
Rico is included while the trade of these three Territories with foreign countries is excluded. Trade of
continental United States with Guam and American Samoa is also included. Practically all other
nations calculate their foreign trade in the manner followed in the present table; that is, totaling the trade
of the home country with foreign countries and with all outlying areas, prior to 1901 Alaska was our only
outlying area. Therefore, our foreign trade statistics for 1900 and earlier years very nearly represent the
trade of continental United States with foreign countries. Data are for years ended June 30, through
1918; thereafter, for years ended Dec. 31

N ote .—All figures in thousands of dollars. Since 1922 there is an understatement of the value of free
goods in the figures for general imports resulting from the following facts: (1) Wheat imported (practi­
cally ail coming from Canada) for 1022 to 1928 was all reported as dutiable when first entered, but most of
it was subsequently used for milling-in-bond for export and in that case no duty is collected: (2) carpet
wool for 1922 to 1932 was nearly all reported as dutiable when first entered but most of it is subsequently
used for making carpets in which case no duty is collected. These shifts affect the general total and the
totals for the economic classes of crude materials, and crude foodstuffs in Table464. The following table
shows for these classes approximately the proportions free and dutiable since 1924 after adjusting for these
shifts. It also shows approximate adjusted figures of free and dutiable imports from Canada. The shift
of carpet wool from dutiable to free likewise affects somewhat the proportions free and dutiable in imports
from countries supplying carpet wool (principally United Kingdom, China, Argentina, Chile, and
India), but no adjustments have been made for such countries or for continent totals. See Table 526 of the
1930 Statistical Abstract for adjustments for 1922, 1923 and 1924.

FOREIGN COMMERCE

No. 476.— EXPORTS (INCLUDING REEXPORTS) AND GENERAL IMPORTS
OF MERCHANDISE, BY PRINCIPAL CUSTOMS DISTRICTS
]
N

o t e .— A l l fig u r e s i n t h o u s a n d s o f d o lla rs .
Fiscal years to and including 1915; thereafter, calendar
years. Figures represent specie values except for exports for years 1865 and 1870-1878. Areas of districts
were rearranged July 1,1913. Prior to that date some of the districts were more restricted. However,
in most cases, this change only slightly affects the comparability of the figures. Prior to 1914 the
statistics given in the table for Buffalo include the (former) districts of Buffalo Creek and Niagaras
those for Michigan include the (former) districts of Superior, Huron, and Detroit; a n d those for
Massachusetts a n d Maryland were the former districts of Boston a n d Baltimore, respectively. See
also headnote, Table 475

G e n e r a l N o t e .— In t h e general foreign-trade statistics o f the United States presented in the preceding
section, the Philippines and Virgin Islands are treated as foreign countries and their trade with the United
States is included while their trade w ith other countries is not included. On the other hand, Puerto R ico,
Hawaii, and Alaska are treated as integral parts of the United States, so that trade between them and
continental United States is not included, while trade between them and foreign countries is included;
each of these three territories appears as a separate custom s district. N either trade of Am erican Samoa
and Guam with foreign countries nor shipments between them and United States are included in the
general tables on foreign trade. See also Table 456, p. 400.
T he tables in this section present the total foreign trade of each of the United States territories and
possessions and show separately the trade w ith Continental United States (unless otherwise indicated)
and with foreign countries, including other U nited States territories and possessions.

DRAINAGE
No. 505.-—DRAINAGE:
N

S u m m ary f o r

th e

U n ite d

S ta te s

o t e .— T h e statistics for drainage on farms in the first part of this table were collected from the individual
farmers while those for drainage enterprises were obtained from a special canvass of organized drainage
enterprises. A farm m ay have artificial drainage without being connected with any general enterprise;
conversely, a general enterprise may facilitate the ultimate removal of water from a farm which has itself
no artificial drainage. Drainage enterprises comprise public corporations and local improvem ent districts
established under State laws relating to drainage, commercial enterprises draining land for sale, other
organizations engaged in extensive land drainage work, and tracts of 500 acres or more drained b y individ­
ual farm owners. T he enterprises m ay include timbered and other unim proved land not yet in farms.
The canvass of drainage enterprises did not include any of the northeastern States, and no enterprises
were found in Alabama or W est Virginia, and in 1919 none also in Virginia,

1 Revised estimates as of Jan. 1,1925.
2 For definition of urban and rural population, see headnote, Table 7, p. 6.
a The 1930 farm population comprises all persons living on farms without regard to occupation; the 1920
figures include also those farm laborers (and their families) who, while not living on farms, lived outside the
limits of any incorporated place. A further difference is due to the fact that the 1920 census was taken in
January, while the 1930 census was taken in April, when the number of persons on farms is appreciably
larger. F or farm population by States see Table 10, p. 8.
4 Farm population figures were obtained on the farm schedule in the Agricultural Census of 1925, while
in 1920 and 1930 they were obtained from the population schedule. Owing to the different m ethod of col­
lecting the information, the 1925 figures are not here presented for comparison with the 1920 and 1930 returns
pending a further analysis of the data,
6These figures include the value of fences, tile drains, and other incidental im provem ents on the land,
excluding only the value of buildings.
a D om estic animals, chickens, and bees.

No. 538.— ESTIMATED FARM VALUE OF PRODUCTS, GROSS INCOME, AND
CASH INCOME: B y C o m m o d i t i e s

Farm values of crops and animal products are obtained b y m ultiplying State quantities b y State
average prices. Prices used in most cases are weighted averages—for animal products, calendar-year
averages; for crops, averages for the period during which the crop is marketed. Gross income represents
value of farm production sold plus value of production retained for use in the farm home, excluding, in
the case of crops, amounts retained for feed and seed and amounts unfit for sale and consumption. Cash
income excludes products used in the farm home

N o t e .—A ll figures in thousands of pounds.

Production, except Census data, is estimated and is for calen­
dar years. Pulled w ool is included beginning 1900 and was probably included for 1870 to 1899, though
the exact basis of the estimates for these years is not known. Figures for 1839, 1849, and 1859 include
only fleece. Exports and imports for 1839 are for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30; for 1849 and 1859, fiscal
years ended June 30; subsequently, calendar years. Imports and foreign exports prior to 1914 and domes­
tic exports include hair of the camel, Angora goat, alpaca, and other like animals

No. 5 8 5 ,— COTTON AND COTTONSEED:

A re a , P r o d u c tio n , a n d F arm V a lu e ,
B y States
N o t e .— C otton production excludes lmters. Figures for production o f cotton and cottonseed in some
States differ slightly from Census figures on ginnings due to gincings in one State of cotton grown in
another. W here figures are not shown for the individual States, separate data are not available for the
entire period but are included in the United States totals. Yields and prices for the periods are sim ple
averages of the figures for the individual years. Tons are of 2,000 pounds. Acreage and yield per acre
for all years have been revised b y the Department of Agriculture and minor adjustments made in cotton
production for Alabama, Caliiornia, Florida, N orth Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and the United States
total. For the States named cottonseed production and value of cotton and cottonseed have been revised
b y the Bureau of Foreign and Dom estic Commerce pending revision of these items b y the Departm ent
of Agriculture.

round as half bales); these items prior to 1914, and net imports, all years, are in thousands of 500-pound
bales, gross weight. Production statistics relate to the growth year indicated in the stub. Other sta­
tistics for the most part relate to the 12-month period roughly corresponding to the marketing of the
crop; there have been minor variations from time to time in the periods covered, but consum ption,
exports, and imports, beginning 1914, and prices, beginning 1910, are for the 12 months ended July 31
following the year indicated in the stub. Prices for 1902 to 1909 represent the price o f the average grade
marketed in New Orleans up to April 1 of the following year; from 1910 to date the average price on the
farm of all lint cotton throughout the country

1 Figures are based upon partial information only, from incomplete reports. Reliable data are not avail­
able prior to organized protection.
2 Figures do not take into account the vast amount of intangible and indirect damage resulting from
forest fires, such as that through decay or damaged timbers, replacements of desirable species of trees b y
less desirable but more fire-resistant ones, soil deterioration and erosion, loss of wild life, uncertain stream
flow, interrupted tourist traffic, and the like.
s The increase in total acreage is prim arily nonforest land.

N o t e .— Figures for 1919 and 1929 have been revised to make them comparable except for 1919 where data

for revision were not available, and for certain States for 1929 where revision would result in disclosure of
individual operations. Therefore, the totals for the United States are less than the sum of the figures for
the States for both years and for geographic divisions for 1919; also the totals for m ost of the geographic
divisions for 1929 are less than the sum of the figures for the States

N o te . — Figures for 1919 and 1929 for the limestone, sandstone, abrasive materials, and silica industries
are not strictly comparable, owing to the inclusion or exclusion of data for 1929 not similarly treated for
1919. For the limestone industry, data for quarrying operations of lime and cement manufacturers are
included in the figures for 1929 but not in those for 1919. For the sandstone industry, data for enter­
prises whose product was ground into glass or m olding sand, or used as refractory materials (siliceous
mica schist and ganister), etc., are included in the figures for 1919 b u t excluded from those for 1929 and
included in the figures for the glass-sand, molding-sand, abrasive-materials, or silica industries, according
to the nature and purpose of the final product. Data for diatomaceous earth are included in the figures
for abrasive materials in 1919 and in those for silica in 1929

Production
figures include continental United States and Alaska. Owing to the varying stages of production, the
stocks in different classes of hands, the redistribution o f copper previously purchased, the recovery and
use of old copper, etc., calculations o f consum ption are somewhat uncertain. T he American Bureau
of M etal Statistics presents consum ption estimates rather w idely different from those given below. C on­
sum ption as shown represents the quantity of copper withdrawn on domestic account, but not actual
dom estic consum ption, as no account is taken of consumers’ stocks

N o t e .— A ll quantities except ore produced in millions and tenths of millions of pounds.

N o t e .—The London price is converted to the basis of the ounce 1,000 fine and converted to American

m oney throughout at par of exchange, notwithstanding the fact that from 1918 to 1924, and in 1931 and
1932 the pound sterling was depreciated as compared to the dollar. During these periods of depre­
ciation the commercial ratio is computed on the basis of the N ew Y ork average price; the value of line
silver (371M grains) in the dollar is com puted on the basis of the N ew York average price beginning 1918*
For other years computations are on the basis of the London quotations, which were at all times close to
the N ew York quotations

32.—MANUFACTURES
[Data in this section relate to continental United States. For additional statistics regarding food manufactur­
ing industries and mineral manufacturing industries see sections on Farm Animals and Animal Products,
Farm Crops and Foodstuffs, and Mining and Mineral Products 1
G e n e r a l N ote .— Prior to 1899 census statistics of manufactures were collected decennially and from
then to 1919 every five years. Beginning with 1921 data are being collected every tw o years. F or the
census of 1899 and previous censuses data were collected for both factories and hand and neighborhood
industries. For the census years 1904 to 1919, inclusive, factories having products valued at $500 or more
were included, but the statistics beginning 1921 (except as to certain major items shown for that year in
Table 727 only), relate only to establishments having products valued at $5,000 or more. However, in 1921,
establishments having products valued at $500 or more but less than $5,000, while constituting 21.6 percent
of the total number of establishments, em ployed only six-tenths of 1 per cent of the total number o f wage
earners, and had an output of only three-tenths of 1 per cent of the total value of products.
The statistics for automobile repairing, collected for 1914 and 1919, have been excluded from Tables 726
to 730. Data for “ Coffee and spices, roasting and grinding,” have been included, except for 1925, for which
year such data were not tabulated for the United States as a whole; and data for “ Poultry killing, dressing,
and packing, wholesale” are included for all years except 1927, for which year this industry was not can­
vassed. In Table 726, data for central-administrative-office employees have been excluded for 1923 and
later years. The figures for 1914, 1919, and 1921, however, include such data.
Figures for wages, cost of materials, etc., and value of products are greatly affected b y changes in the
buying power of m oney or, in other words, by the general levels of prices and wages. Figures o f total
cost of materials, etc., and total value of products for m any individual industries, for all groups of indus­
tries, and especially for all industries combined, involve much duplication. This is due to the use o f prod­
ucts o f a given establishment as material for another in the same or a different industry.

1 T o make the percentages for the number o f establishments com parable, those for all 6 years have been
based on the number of establishments reporting products valued at $5,000 or more. T he percentages for
wage earners and value of products, however, have not been similarly adjusted, the com parability o f these
percentages having been affected very slightly b y the omission of small establishments in 1923, 1925, and
1929.
i N o data for establishments with products under $5,000 in value have been tabulated for 1923,1925, and
1929.
aT he data for the 53,999 establishments in the “ Less than $5,000” class are not included in other
tables showing statistics for 1921.
* Figures include data for the $500,000 to $1,000,000 class.
s Data included with the $100,000 to $500,000 class.

MANUFACTURES, BY SPECIFIED INDUSTRIES

S u m m ary f o r I n d iv id u a l I n d u s t r ie s

N o t e .—The figures given in this table do not represent exactly the numbers of wage earners, values of
products, etc., assignable to the classes of com m odities from which the industries derive their names,
as it is necessary for census purposes to classify each establishment as a whole in som e one industry,
according to its product of chief value, although in many cases a single establishment manufactures
two or more classes of commodities. The figures for cost of materials and value of products for each
group and each subgroup include considerable duplication due to the use of the products of one in­
dustry as the materials for another, and in some cases similar duplication occurs within an industry.
N o data for horse Dower were collected for 1931. For totals for all industries and for 16 great groups see
Table 729. Five census years have been shown for all industries that reported $200,000,000 or more in
value of products or over 50,000 wage earners in 1929, and three census years for other industries, except as
indicated b y footnotes

1 Because of a change in classification, no comparable figures can be shown for earlier years,
s Owing to a change in classification data for 1931 are not strictly comparable with data for prior years.
i T he separation of the industry “ Paper and p u lp ” into the “ Paper” and “ Pulp (wood and other fiber)"
industries for 1927 resulted in counting as 2 establishments each mill which manufactured both paper
and pulp and in a duplication in the statistics as com bined. The figures for 1927 to 1931, are, therefore,
not strictly comparable with those for earlier years. Figures in italics have been adjusted for comparison
with 1926 and 1923, counting as a single unit mills manufacturing both pulp and paper.
8 Figures shown for paper represent the com bined total for paper and pulp,

1 Because of a change in classification, no comparable figures can be shown for earlier years.
^ Establishments classified in the “ Jewelers’ findings and materials” industry for 1931 were, for the
most part, classified in the “ Jewelry” industry in prior years: figures for the latter industry for 1931 are,
therefore, not strictly comparable with those for prior years. Figures shown in italics have been adjusted
for comparison with those for 1931.
is Prior to 1931 this industry covered radio apparatus and tubes included for 1931 in a new classification,
“ R adio apparatus and phonographs.” Figures for 1931 are, therefore, not comparable with those for
prior years; figures shown in italics have been adjusted for comparison with those for prior years.
2 For 1929 and 1931 certain establishments, formerly classified in this industry were included in a new
0
industry classification “ Machine-tool accessories and machinists’ precision tools and instruments.”
Figures for 1929 and 1931 are, therefore, not strictly comparable with those for prior years. Figures in italics
have been adjusted for comparison with those for later years.
2 Includes for 1931 “ Iron and steel, processed,” formerly treated as a separate industry in the “ Iron
1
and steel”
FRASER group. Figures for prior years have not been revised to include such data.

No. 7 3 3 .— INDEXES OF PRODUCTION OF MANUFACTURES AND
MINERALS
N o t e .— The manufactures index covers 49 industries and the minerals index 8, prior to 1932.

Indexes for
1932 exclude copper, data for which are not available for that year, and are, therefore, not strictly com ­
parable with figures for earlier years. Both indexes have been adjusted for seasonal variations and for the
number of working days in the month
[Monthly average 1923-1925 = 100]

COTTON M ANUFACTURES

No. 7 5 1 .— COTTON SPINDLES, COTTON CONSUMPTION, AND STOCKS
N o t e .—T h e

statistics for 1915 to 1932 relate to the 12 months ended July 31 and those for prior years to
the 12 m onths ended A ug. 31. South refers to cotton growing States. Consum ption is expressed in
running bales, counting round as half bales, except that all figures, 1840 to 1870, inclusive, and foreign
cotton in all years are in equivalent 500-pound bales. T he number of active spindles represents spindles
operated for any tim e, however short, during the year, and is therefore an unsatisfactory measure of
activity of the industry

NOTE.—All figures in thousands of pounds. Figures represent the equivalent in unstemmed leaf tobacco,
of stemmed leaf or scraps, cuttings, and clippings. In the following table the tobacco used in the manufac­
ture of cigars and cigarettes was converted on the basis of 3 pounds o f stemmed leaf or scraps, etc,, to 4
pounds of unstemmed beginning 1915 (conversion prior to 1915 was at the ratio of 3 to 5) and of tobacco
and snuff beginning 1903. For 1896 to 1902, tobacco used in manufactured tobacco and snuff was shown
only under tw o heads, namely “ lea f" and “ scraps." It is probable that stemmed leaf was included
with unstemmed tobacco under the head of “ leaf" without the one kind being converted to the equivalent
in the other. The conversion ratio of 3 to 4 was applied on ly to “ scraps" for these years. Data exclude
tobacco used in bonded manufacturing warehouses. See Table 768

No. 7 7 0 — INDEXES OF VALUE OF SALES OF MAIL-ORDER HOUSES AND
5-AND-10-CENT CHAIN STORES
N o te .— Indexes for mail-order houses cover tw o companies throughout. The number o f chain-store
companies reporting varied from year to year, b u t in commuting the indexes adjustment has been made
for these variations. N o adjustment has been made, however, to eliminate the influence of increase in
the number of stores operated b y the individual companies, Which accounts for a considerable part of
the increase in the indexes. In the m onthly indexes for both mail-order houses and chain stores, allowance
has been made for the varying number of business day& in the different months; the chain-store indexes
have also been adjusted for seasonal variations. Sales are much affected b y changes in price levels

No, .7 75;— BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED IN PRINCIPAL CITIES
Figures cover new buildings and repairs to old buildings, but exclude data for installation permits
(those for installing boilers, signs, etc.) which are not strictly building operations. These permits are
rather numerous, but in value they are of small amount. T he number figures represent the number of
buildings covered b y permits issued (new construction and repairs, etc.), rather than the number of
permits. T h e cities shown had a population of 50,000 or over in 1930. The estimated cost of new build*
mgs only, authorized in 257 identical cities since 1921 is as follows- .1921, $1,573,0Q0,0\K); 1922, $2,489,000,000;
.
1923, $3,072,000,000; 1924, *3,208,000,000; 1925, $3,805,000,000; 1926, $3,567,000,000; 1927, $3,138,000,000; 1928,

APPROXIMATE WEIGHT OF PETROLEUM AND PRODUCTS

In the United States petroleum and its products are measured by bulk, not
weight. Whether handled in containers or without them the quantities are cus­
tomarily reduced to the equivalent o f barrels of 42 United States gallons (barrel
thus equals 158.984 liters). In many foreign countries these commodities are
measured by weight. T he specific gravity of the different grades of crude petro­
leum and o f the finished products varies materially. On the basis of approximate
averages the Department of Commerce in converting foreign weight statistics
to gallons or barrels of 42 gallons uses the factors shown in the following table:
