WASHINGTON :
INTRODUCTION
The SUBVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS is designed to
present each month a picture of the business situation
by setting forth the principal facts regarding the various lines of trade and industry. At quarterly intervals
detailed tables are published giving, for each item,
monthly figures for the past two years and yearly comparisons, where available, back to 1913. In the intervening months the more important comparisons only
are given in the table entitled "Trend of business
movements" (p. 37),
The present quarterly issue contains the complete
figures lor the monthly movements since September,
1921, and the monthly averages for earlier years as far
as the data are available.
ADVANCE SHEETS
Realizing that current statistics are highly perishable and that to be of use they must reach the business
man at the earliest possible moment, the department
has arranged to distribute advance leaflets almost
every week, whenever sufficient material is available,
to those subscribers who request them. The leaflets
are usually mailed on Wednesdays, and give such information as has been received during the preceding
week. The information contained in these leaflets is
also published in " Commerce Reports/' issued weekly
by tne Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
The complete bulletin is distributed as quickly as it
can be completed and printed.
BASIC DATA
The figures reported in the accompanying tables are
very largely those already in existence. The chief
function of the department is to bring together these
data which, if available at all, are scattered in hundreds of different publications. A portion of these
data are collected by Government departments, other
figures are compiled by technical journals, and still
others are reported by trade associations.
RELATIVE NUMBERS
To facilitate comparison between different items and
render the trend of a movement more apparent, relative
numbers (often called " index numbers/' a term referring
more particularly to a special kind of number described below) have been calculated. The relative
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 the actual figures.
In computing these relative numbers the last prewar year, 1913, or in some instances a five-year average, 1909-1913, has been used as a base equal to 100
wnerever possible. In many instances comparable
figures for the prewar years are not available, and in
such cases the year 1919 has usually been taken as
the base. For some industries 1919 can not be
regarded as a proper base, due to extraordinary conditions in the* industry, and some more representative
period has been chosen. Tn a few cases other base
periods are used for specia. reasons. In all cases the
base period is clearly mdicj ted.
The relative numbers are computed by allowing the
monthly average for the base year or period to equal
100. If the movement for a current month is greater
than the base, the relative number will be greater than
100, and vice versa. The difference between 100 and
the relative number will give at once the per cent
increase or decrease compared with the base period.
Thus a relative number of 115 means an increase of 15
per cent over the base period, while a relative number
of 80 means a decrease of 20 per cent from the base.
Relative numbers may also be used to calculate the
approximate percentage increase or decrease in a movement from one period to the next. Thus, if a relative
number at one month is 120 and for a later month it
is 144 there has been an increase of 20 per cent.
INDEX NUMBERS
When two or more series of relative numbers are
combined by a system of weightings the resulting
series is denominated an index number. The index
number, by combining many relative numbers, is
designed to show the trend of an entire group of industries or for the country as a whole, instead of for
the single commodity or industry which the relative
number covers. Comparisons with the base year or
with other periods are made in the same manner as in
the case of relative numbers.
BUSINESS INDICATORS
The diagrams on page 2 have been prepared to
facilitate comparisons between a few of tne more
important business movements. The lines are plotted
on what are known as ratio charts (logarithmic scale).
These charts show the percentage increase and allow
direct comparisons between the slope of one curve and
that of any other curve regardless of its location on
the diagram; that is, a 10 per cent increase in an item
is given the same vertical movement whether its curve
is near the bottom or near the top of the chart.
The difference between this and the ordinary form
of a chart can be made clear by an example. If a
certain item, having a relative number of 400 in one
month, increases 10 per cent in the following month,
its relative number will be 440, and on an ordinary
chart would be plotted 40 equidistant scale points
higher than the preceding month. Another movement
with a relative number of, say, 50, also increases 10
per cent, making its relative number 55. On the ordinary (arithmetic) scale this item would rise only 5
equidistant points, whereas the previous item rose 40
points, yet eacli showed the same percentage increase.
The ratio charts avoid this difficulty and give to each
of the two movements exactly the same vertical rise,
and hence the slopes of the two lines are directly
comparable. The ratio charts compare percentage
changes, while the arithmetic charts compare absolute
changes.
This issue presents practically complete data for the month of June and also, on page 31, items covering July
received up to August 14. As most data covering a particular month's business are not available until from 15 to 30 days
after the close of the month, a complete picture of that month's operations, including relative numbers, cumulative totals,
text, and charts, can not be presented in printed form under 4.5 days after its close, but the advance leaflets described above
give considerable information as early as 15 days after its close and present almost every week the latest data available*
Summary for July based upon early items is given on page 2.

PRELIMINARY SUMMARY FOR JULY
Early reports from basic industries indicate smaller
production in July than in June, with decreases noted
in the output of pig iron, steel ingots, zinc, locomotives,
and ships. The output of cement and the consumption of raw silk increased over June, however. Compared with a year ago, smaller output was also recorded except for the output of cement and ships and
the consumption of silk. Unfilled orders on the books
of locomotive manufacturers and of the United States
&tccl Corporation both declined from the end of June,
and fewer iron furnaces were in blast.
Awards for building construction in July declined
ironi June and were also lower than a year ago, in
both floor space and value. Stocks of silk and cement
reduced during July, while zinc stocks increased,
all were higher than a year ago.
1774°—24f

Sales of mail-order houses made a seasonal decline
from June and decreased from a year ago. Sales of
10-cent chains, however, increased over both periods.
Business failures increased over June in both number
and liabilities and increases also occurred over a year
ago. Loadings of freight cars were less than in July,
1923. Postal receipts were larger than a year ago.
Wholesale prices on August 1, as shown by both Dun's
and Bradstreet's index numbers, increased over July 1.
Interest rates again declined for both call money
and commercial paper. Stock sales increased and
prices of both stocks and bonds averaged higher than
in June. Dividend and interest payments disbursed
in July exceeded those of a year ago.

BUSINESS INDICATORS
The following table gives comparative relative numbers for a selected list of important business movements. It is believed
that this table will prove useful, because it separates out from the large mass of material a comparatively small number of items
which are often regarded as indicative of business in general.
The table has been divided into two parts, the first containing those items for which relative numbers can bo calculated, using
1913 as a base. The second part contains items for which comparable data back to 1913 are not available. This latter group of
relative numbers is calculated by letting the 1919 monthly average equal 100. Care should therefore be exercised in comparing the
absolute value of the two sets of data. In either group, however, the upward or downward trend of the relative numbers, compared
to previous months, does reflect the present tendency in each item and will give a basis for business judgment.
Where available at the time of going to press, Angusi 14, July indicators have been included, thus bringing this table up to
date. It should be noted that the charts on page 2 show June data as the latest plotted.

over June of last year for loans and discounts, for
investments and for deposits. A further reduction
occurred in interest rates in June, the average for the
month declining to 2J^ per cent for call loans and

GOLD AND SILVER
Domestic receipts of gold at the mint declined from
May, 1924 and June, 1923, and the output of gold
by the Rand mines also declined from both periods.
Imports and exports of gold both declined from May,
the import balance declining from 840,500,000 to
$25,000,000.
Silver production declined from April but increased
over a year ago. Imports and exports of silver were
26
both smaller than in May, the export balance of
$4,000,000 being reduced to $3,800,000 in June. The
price of silver advanced in both New York and London.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND TRADE
Foreign exchange rates of the principal European
currencies declined in June, except for Netherlands
and the Scandinavian countries, which showed no
change. The exchanges of the South American
countries also declined in terms of the dollar, as did
India, while Canada and Japan increased. The
general index of foreign exchange stood at 60 per
cent of par, as against 62 per cent in May.
Declines from both the previous month and a
year ago took place in imports and in exports for
June. The export balance of about $32,000,000 in
May was almost unchanged for June.

PAGES TO SAVE IN EARLY ISSUES
Continuing and revising t]ie data first presented in
the February, 1924, issue (No. 30) of the SURVEY OF
CUKREKT BUSINESS there is given belcw the list of
pages which may be saved from early issues in order
to secure a complete list of data not subsequently
published. This list does not include the quarterly
issues, as beginning with the May, 1922, issue (No. 9),
three or four months have been taken from the earlier
figures each quarter, and it is thus advisable to keep
each quarterly number from that time. Further details regarding individual items are given in the

INDEXES OF BUSINESS
The index numbers presented in this table are designed to show the trend in production prices, trade,
etc., in various groups of industry and commerce; They consist in general of weighted combinations of aeries
of individual relative numbers; often the individual relative numbers making up the series are also given. The
base year of all the index and relative numbers is 1919, except prices which are on a 1913 base, and unfilled
orders, on a 1920 base. The function of index and relative numbers is explained on the inside front cover.
A condensed form of this table is given on page 13.

TREND OF BUSINESS * MOVEMENTS
The following table contains a summary of the monthly figures, designed to show the trend in important industrial and commercial movements. The numerical data for the latest months are given and in addition relative numbers for the: last four months
i general 1
... _
May, 192/h—This column gives the May figures corresponding to those for June shown in the next column—in other words,
cover the previous month.
June, 1924.—In this column are given the figures covering the month of June, or, as in the nise of stocks, etc., the situation
on June 30 or July 1.
Corresponding month. May, 1923', or June, 1923.—The figures in this column present the situation exactly a year previous
to those in the May, 1924," column (that is, general^ June, 1023), but where no figures are available for June, 1924,
the May, 1923, figures have been inserted in this column for comparison with the May, 191M, figured.
Cumulative total from January 1 through latest month.—These columns set forth, for those items that properly ran bo cumulated,
the cumulative totals for the six months ending June, 1923 and 1924, respectively, except where the June, 1924, figures
are lacking, in which case the cumulative totals for the first five months of 1923 and 1924 arc given.
Percentage increase (+) or decrease (—) cumulative, 1924 from 19JS.—Tin's column shows the per cent by which the cumulated
total for the six months ending June, 1924, is greater (+) or less (—) than the total for the corresponding period cmicd
June, 1923.
Base year or period.—For purposes of comparison with a previous more or less normal period, all items, ?a far ns posMble, are
related to such a period by relative numbers. The period taken for each item, called the base, is the monthly average of
the year or period stated in this column. Wherever possible, the year 1913 is taken as a ba^e, and if no pre-war figures
are available, 1919 is usually taken to avoid using a war year as a basis. In some ca^cs it will lie notvd that fipurrs were
not available prior to 1920 or even 1921, and that sometimes a month, or an average of « few mouthy has to bo used
rather than a year's average. Also, for some industries, 1919 would not bo a proper base on account of extraordinary
conditions in the industry and therefore some more representative year has been chosen.
Relative numbers.—In order to visualize the trend of each movement, relative numbers (FOCI explanation on inside front rover)
are given for the last four months and for two corresponding months of a year ago. These relative numbers are computed
by allowing the monthly average for the base period, usually 1913 or 1919, to equal 10U. If the movement for a current
month is greater than the base the relative number will be greater than 100. If the converse is true the relative number
will be less than 100. The difference between 100 and any relative number gives at once the pi r cent increase or decrease
compared with the base period. Relative numbers may* also be used to compute the approximate per cent increase or
decrease from one month to the next.
Percentage increase (+) or decrease (—) June from May, and Jtine, 1924, from June, 1923.—The last two columns show
the per cent increase or decrease of the figure for the last month compared with the preceding month and the corresponding month last year.

tesburg, Miss. The 1913 monthly average, on which the inde^ numbers are bas^d, is $2-101 per thousand feet.
Exports of yellow pine lumber from XI. 8. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Monthly data for tbo first throe months of 102L and

Data computed from reports on actual production and shipments as furnished by the North Carolina Pine Association, Inc., for mills varying in number from 31 to 56.
computed figures given are obtained by first determining for a given month the per cent which the actual production w of tho normal production of the identical uiilU
tms. This per cent is then applied to an arbitrary figure of 70,000,000 board feet, which represents the approximate monthly averago normal production ol the milk
ti reported in 1919. A similar per cont of actual shipments to normal production is applied to the same figure to obtain tho computed shipment figures. The resulting
ss represent a computed production as of identical mills for each month. Tho figures aro of the same order of magnitudo as tho actuM reported production and ship•t> but avoid the rather wide variations due to different tnilb reportiug in different inontb3.
