INTRODUCTION.
This summary of statistical information as to the trend of business and industry was placed in type, and for the
month of July 1,500 copies were printed.
It was distributed to trade and commercial journals, to important business houses, trade associations, public
bodies, and economists, requesting opinion as to the usefulness of the data, and asking for constructive criticism.
An extraordinary number of replies have been received, insistent upon the importance of the preparation and distribution of the information and offering many useful suggestions. Many changes have been made in accordance
with these suggestions in this issue; but the publication is still in experimental form, and the Department is anxious
to receive still further criticism with a view to rendering the publication fully serviceable to the commercial public.
It will be noted that the order of the figures here presented has been entirely altered, that a brief summary of
the index numbers has been introduced, that graphs have been prepared, and further statistical information is given
as tends to indicate the current trend of business.
In order that the publication shall impose no cost upon the taxpayers, it is proposed that a charge of $1 per annum
shall be made for the Survey. After September 1 it will also be included with the reorganized "Commerce Reports"
at a total subscription price for the two services of $4 per annum.
The Introduction given last month is repeated for the information of those who receive the publication for the
first time.
INTRODUCTION TO JULY NUMBER.
To visualize the current trends of business and industry
monthly, the Department of Commerce has found it
necessary to condense and compile a large volume of
information. These facts have been of service to the
Department in its attempt to grasp the changing business
conditions. It is believed they may be useful to the
business public and that the figures, in some measure,
will assist in the enlargement of business judgment.
To concentrate such a mass of information in convenient form and to make it useful for study and comparison, the data have been coded into relative figures,
or index numbers, where necessary. These index numbers enable the reader to see at a glance the general
upward or downward tendency of a movement, which
can not so easily be grasped from actual figures.
STATISTICS COMPILED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.
The basic figures used in the accompanying tables are
largely those already in existence and are collected from
Government departments, trade associations, etc. In
cases where the basic data have been collected by outside
agencies the Department of Commerce assumes no responsibility for their accuracy or completeness. The figures
used, however, are in some cases those generally accepted
in business circles as sufficiently complete to represent the
current trend of the given industrial movement, and in
other instances are vouched for by the trade association.
To be of the greatest value such information must be
widely diffused and digested by the business men of the
country. It is not enough that the banks and the big
business concerns should understand the trends in business; the small manufacturer and the small dealer must
have some understanding, too, so that there may be some
semblance of unity in action. The Department hopes to
reach this audience by offering to them these data.
In preparing these figures every effort is made to
secure accuracy and completeness. On the other hand,
it is realized that timeliness is often of more value than
extreme accuracy. In certain cases it is necessary to
use preliminary figures or advance estimates in order to
avoid too great delay in publication after the end of
each month.
How
RELATIVE FIGURES ARE COMPUTED.
In computing the relative figures, the attempt has
been made to use the average of the last prewar year,
1913, as a base equal to 100. In many instances, the
basic statistics do not go back to the prewar years and,
in such cases, averages for the year 1919 have been
taken as a base. In a few cases still other base years
have been used for special reasons. These facts, together with the source of the basic data, are indicated
in the several tables. Certain commodity movements,
such as the production of cottonseed oil, cold-storage
holdings, etc., are very seasonal in character. In
calculating the index numbers no allowance has been
made for this, since it was thought better to let this
fact show in the relative figures themselves.
For those unfamiliar with the use of such relative
figures a word of explanation is necessary. Take the figures
in the first column of Tables 38 and 78 which deal with
the bank clearings in New York City as reported monthly
by Bradstreet. In 1913 the average monthly clearing
amounted to $7,886,000,000. This number is allowed
to equal 100 on our relative scale. In January, 1920,
the total bank clearings were $23,210,000,000, or equivalent to a relative number of 294, when the 1913 average
is taken as 100. In June, 1921, bank clearings in New
York City were only $16,849,000,000, or on the relative
basis only 214. The difference between 100 and any relative number gives at once the per cent increase or decrease
above or below the base year. Thus bank clearings in
January, 1920, were 194 per cent above the 1913 average,
and in June, 1921, they were 114 per cent above the
same base. In the number of business failures, as reported in column 3 of Table 38, the relative number for
January, 1920, is 43, indicating a decrease for that month
of 57 per cent below the 1913 monthly average.

i Except data on cement reported by the Geological Survey which is placed here for convenience.
Since the number of mills reporting each month varies rather widely, the average per mill is used as the only information immediately available. It is expected
that next month figures more representative of the trend of the industry will be used.
» Association states that these figures represent reports from 25 mills during the period stated and constitute about 90 per cent of the total oakflooringindustry.
« Figures prior to 1921 are taken from the yearly reports of the Geological Survey. The compilation of monthly reports begin with January of this year,
o Allowance made for seasonal variation as determined from the monthly averages for the years 1913 to 1920, inclusive.

i The Geological Survey resumed in June, 1921, the publication of monthly production data on by-product coke which was discontinued at the close of the war.
The index figures given do not adequately represent the depression in this industry because a much larger proportion of coke is now being made in by-product overs
than formerly. It is estimated that the present maximum capacity of the by-products ovens is about 3,510,000 tons per month. On the basis of 100 equal to this maximum the July output was only 37, or 63 per cent below capacity. Assuming that 85 to 90 per cent of maximum capacity represents normal production the present rate
is about 57 per cent of normal.

Figures for earlier years adjusted to represent approximate net stocks to conform with data for current months.
* Yearlyfiguresfor " Stocks at end of month" are averages of monthly figures.

The preliminary report from the Bureau of the Census shows that, in 1919, the total production of knit underwear in the United States amounted to 20,51.7,000 dozens,
compared with 28,032,000 dozens in 1914. In terms of monthly averages, the 1919 output was at the rate of 2,209,000 which, by comparison, indicates that the normal production of the mills reporting above comprises about 40 per cent of the industry.

The " t o t a l " number of looms and spindles reported in the earlier years does not represent the totals for the country but only such as furnished reports. Assuming that these were a fair sample of all machines, they furnish a basis to calculate the proportion of active machinery each year. The 1913 figures were collected by the
National Association of Wool Manufacturers.
2
These figures are for cotton crop years (beginning Aug. 1 and ending July 31), Figures opposite any one year represent months' average of active cotton spindles
for the period beginning Aug. 1 of preceding year

The data on leather products, given in Tables 7, 8, 45, and 4G, are based on the monthly census of hides, skins and leather, as compiled by the Bureau of the Census.
The figures embrace returns from between 4,500 and 5,000 establishments, including packers, tanners, dealers, importers, and manufacturers of shoes, gloves, and other
leather goods. As given in the census reports, the returns on leather are shown in numbers of skins, sides, backs, butts, pounds, etc. For the present summary, these
figures have been converted either to pounds or square feet on the basis of average weights and sizes.

Except data on cement reported by the Geological Survey which is placed here for convenience.
Since the number of mills reporting each month varies rather widely the average per mill is used by the association to express the trend in the industry.
Association states that thesefiguresrepresent reports from 25 mills during the period stated and constitute about 90 per cent of the total oak-flooring industry.

Figures prior to 1921 are taken from the yearly reports of the Geological Survey. The compilation of monthly reports begin with January of this year.

1920 LUMBER PRODUCTION.
The United States Forest Service reports that 927 large mills, representing about one-half of the annual lumber production of the
United States, cut 16,709,115,000 board feet in 1920, compared to 16,254,812,000 board feet in 1919. This is an increase of 3.4 per cent.
The total cut by all mills in 1919, as reported by the Bureau of the Census, was 34,550,000,000 board feet. The Forest Service concludes
that the 1920 cut was approximately the same as in 1919.

ZINC IN THE FIRST HALF OF 1921.
The Geological Survey reports that the smelter production of zinc from foreign and'domestic
ores for the first six months of 1921 totaled 102,525 tons, as compared with 258,108 tons in the same
months of 1920 and 205,269 tons in the last half of 1920. The stock of zinc held at smelters and in
warehouses June 30, 1921, was 94,747 tons, compared with 71,037 tons at the end of 1920 and 29,892
tons one year ago.
The apparent domestic consumption of zinc, taking into account imports and exports, amounted
to 83,965 tons in the first half of 1921, compared with 175,268 tons in the same months of 1920 and
147,783 tons in the last half of that year.
The number of retorts in operation on June 30, 1921, was 36,000, compared with 56,000 at the
end of 1920 and 75,000 on June 30, 1920.

Yearly figures represent the monthly averages of total production of all companies as compiled annually by the American Iron and Steel Institute. The
institute reports monthly production figures for 30 companies which, in 1920, produced 84.2 per cent of the total output of the country. In order to make the
monthly figures comparable, they have been calculated to a 100 per cent production on the basis ol the above percentage.

CONSUMPTION OF COAL IN THE MANUFACTURE OF COKE.
The Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, estimates
the monthly consumption of coal for the manufacture of coke as
shown in the opposite statement.
The Geological Survey says: "The depression in the coke
industry throws a flood of light on the absence of demand for coal.
The coke industry, which normally takes 15 per cent of the coal
supply of the country, is now consuming coal at the rate of less
than one-third of its requirements during the periods of greatest
business activity. In 1918, for example, the industry was consuming every month 5,000,000 tons of raw coal more than at
present."

At end of month, exclusive of Canadian roads. The American Railway Association reports the number of freight cars which are idle (surplus) and also the
