WASHSWOTON : (
INTRODUCTION.
The SURVEY 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*7 (p. 38). The present quarterly issue
contains the complete figures for 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 three times
each month to those subscribers who request them.
The leaflets are usually mailed on Saturdays, the first
being issued about the 15th of the month, giving such
information as has been received up to that time.
Further sets of sheets are mailed in the two following
weeks, each giving those figures received during the
current week. The information contained in these
leaflets is also published in "Commerce Reports/'
issued weekly by the 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,.
The source of each item in the detailed tables is
given in footnotes, and a list of all sources of information will be found at the end of this bulletin (pp. 217 to
220). In cases where the original figures 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 trade associations or other agencies.
IHDEX INTTMBEBS.
To facilitate comparison between different items and
render the trend of a movement more apparent, index
or relative numbers have been calculated. The 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 the actual figures.
In computing these index numbers the last pre-war
year, 1913, or in some instances a five-year average,
1909-1913, has been used as a base equal to 100
wherever possible. In many instances comparable
figures for the pre-war 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 con*
ditioas in the industry, and some more representative
period has been chosen. In a few cases other base
periods are used for special reasons. In all cases the
base period is clearly indicated.
The index numfeers 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 index number will be greater than
100 and vice versa. The difference between 100 and
the index number will give at once the per cent increase
or decrease compared with the base period. Thus an
index number of 115 means an increase of 15 per cent
over the base period, while an index number of 80
means a decrease of 20 per cent from the base.
Index numbers may also be used to calculate th®
approximate percentage increase or decrease in a movement froni one period to the next. Thus if an index
number at one month is 120 and for a later month it
is 144 there has been an increase of 20 per cent.
BUSINESS JOTOICATOBS.
The diagrams on page 2 have been prepared to
facilitate comparisons between a few of the 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 what part of the
diagram it is located in; 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 has an index number of 400 in one month
and it increases 10 per cent, its index number will be
440, and on an ordinary chart the next month would
be plotted 40 scale points higher than the preceding
month. Another movement with an index number
of, say 50? also increases 10 per cent, making its index
number 55. On the ordinary (arithmetic) scale this
item would rise only 5 points, whereas the previous
item rose 40 points, yet each showed the same percentage increase. The ratio charts avoid this difficulty and give to each of the two movements exactly
the same vertical riso, and hence the slopes of the two
lines are directly comparable. The ratio charts compare percentage changes, while the arithmetic charts
compare absolute changes.

SUMMARY FOR DECEMBER.
Industrial activity, in general, declined in December from the previous month, due, at least in part, to
seasonal conditions. Declines from December, 1922,
occurred in the output of pig iron, steel ingots,
anthracite coal, bituminous coal, cotton consumption,
and unfilled steel orders, while the output of such
basic items as petroleum, lumber, copper, zinc, automobiles, new building construction, and locomotives
registered increases over a year ago. The index of
unfilled orders based on 1920 as 100 increased to 58
for December as compared with 53 for the previous
month and 75 a year ago.
Retail sales of mail-order houses, department stores,
and 10-cent chains increased seasonally in December.
For the year 1923 mail-order sales increased 27 per
cent over the previous year while 10-cent sales made
an increase of 18 per cent. Wholesale trade in all of
79692°—24
1
the important lines declined seasonally but was on
about the same level as a year ago. Both wholesale
prices and retail food prices declined one point in
December. The cost-of-living index at 165, based on
July, 1914, as 100, showed no change for December.
Business failures increased seasonally in December
but the defaulted liabilities totaling §539,000,000 in
1923 were 14 per cent below the previous year.
Check transactions as indicated by clearings and bank
debits increased over November, while interest rates
eased in December. Employment in 1,428 factories
totaled 1,986,000 workers, as against 2,016,000 in
November.
The surplus of railroad cars rose to an excess of
312,338 cars, while weekly loadings of freight cars
were less in December than in either the preceding
month or a year ago.

BUSINESS INDICATORS.
The following table gives comparative index 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 masa of material a comparatively email number of itema which aro often
regarded as indicative of business in general.
The table haB been divided into two parts, the first containing those items for which index numbers can be 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 index 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 index numbers, compared to previous months does
reflect the present tendency in each item and will give a basis for business judgment.

fnv.t chart showing the comparison of bank debits as
actually reported and aftor corrections have been
miido for seasonal variations; while in the second
chart the comparison between wholesale prices and
bank debits with seasonal variations eliminated is
given. On page 25 is given a special table showing,

The diagram on page 21 shows the total amount of
new business in the two principal classes of life
insurance by years from 1913 to 1923 as reported by
40 companies and the relation between new sales of
ordinary insurance and wholesale prices. The next
chart shows on a different scale the course of new
business in group insurance and its relation to wholesale prices and corporation dividends. This species
of life insurance, first written in 1912, was designed to
ailow employers to purchase insurance in favor of
their employees at wholesale rates and without the
T^rT
t
°f
& medical
examination. At the end
oi 1J23 there were about 2,000,000 persons protected
by this form of insurance.
Business failures increased seasonally in December,
but in point of defaulted liabilities were less than *
year ago. A total of 18,714 firms failed during * e
year as against 23,676 in 1922, while .defaulted
Mies aggregated S539,387,000, as compared *&

DEBITS TO INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS—A STUDY IN SEASONAL MOVEMENTS.
the five-jrear average index for each month of the
year, as obtained from an arithmetic average of the
five index numbers for each calendar month, derived
from data covering the five-year period 1919 to 1923.
This average may be called the type-month index.
In the table entitled, "Indexes of Seasonal Tendencies7' is given for each district the seasonal index
peculiar to it. the computation of each index-series
having been effected by using as a base for each district the monthly average of sixty months given in
the table above mentioned. From this base as 100
the type-month indexes in the first table were recomputed, giving as a resultant the seasonal index series
for each district.
Using the seasonal index for each Federal Reserve
District as a corrector, the table on the following
page wiis computed by dividing the actual index
numbers published in the October Survey by the
seasonal index peculiar to each month. Thus the
table on page 25 shows the course of bank debits to
individual accounts by Federal Reserve Districts from
1919 to 1923, after due allowance has been made foi
seasonal variations.
In the October "Survey of Current Business" (No.
26), there were published, based on 1919 as 100, indexes
of debits to individual accounts by Federal Reserve
Districts, as well as for 59 of the more important
clearing-house centers. Since the publication of this
table comparable data have been issued as soon as
available in subsequent numbers, in order that this
statistical measure of industrial activity 'may be kept
current, and on page 19 are given the indexes for
January, 1924, with comparative months.
Because of many requests from readers of the "Survey," the Department of Commerce has undertaken
and here publishes the results of a stud}7 designed to
show the course of bank debits by Federal Reserve
Districts with corrections made for seasonal variations. It is not intended that this study supersede
the index numbers published in the October "Survey"
and which since have been carried forward, but rather
supplement those series. Thus in subsequent issues
the data as originally published and as given on page
19 of this number, will be continued.
In the table below entitled " Debits—Monthly Average Indexes," is given by Federal Reserve Districts,

PAGES TO SAVE IN EARLY ISSUES.
Many readers have found that their file of back
numbers of the "Survey of Current Business'7 has
become quite bulky arid, as most of the data in previous issues are brought up to date and often revised
in the latest quarterly number, previous numbers
can to a large extent be eliminated* However,
certain special tables are contained in most of the
earlier numbers which have not been repeated in their
entirety in subsequent issues* In order that these
pages m&y be saved for a complete record, the following list has been prepared. 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. The list of pages to save, omitting quarterly numbers, is given below. Further details regarding individual items are given in the sections following,
describing special data, discontinued data, and
monthly data prior to 1921.

HAW MATERIALS.
Domestic.
A new index of commodity stocks has been prepared by the Department of Commerce, in which
foodstuffs are included and divisions made for the
various commodities into four great groups—-raw foodstuffs, other raw materials, manufactured foodstuffs,
and other manufactured articles.
This index is thus not only more complete than the
index previously published, comprising 45 commodities
as against 31 in the old index, but reveals the different
movements in these four major groups, which are of
distinct importance to the business man.
The index of stocks of commodities is weighted by
the relative value of the supply of each commodity
in 1919, ascertained by adding to the value of the
amount marketed or manufactured, the value of the
amount imported, where imports are of any consequence. For manufactured products the values given
for domestic supply are those shown in the census
reports on manufactures for 1919, while for raw materials the domestic supply figures are those used in
the indexes of production and marketings of the various raw materials. The following table shows how
the weights were arrived at in tens of millions of
dollars:
Fish represents cold-storage holdings of fish on the 15th of
each month as reported by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
Coffee represents visible supply of coffee for the United

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 series
of individual index numbers, and often the individual index numbers making up the series are also given. The
base year of all the index numbers is 1919, except prices which are on a 1913 base, and unfilled orders, on a
1920 base. The function of index numbers is explained on the inside front cover. A condensed form of this
table is given on page 7*

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 index numbers for the last four months
and for two corresponding months of a year ago. In many lines thefiguresdo not lend themselves readily to statistical uniformity,
due to lateness of their publication or publication at other than monthly intervals; therefore the following explanations of the
various headings are offered to make clear such distinctions and in general to facilitate the use of the table:
November, 1928.—This column gives the November figures corresponding to those for December shown in the next column—
in other words, cover the previous month.
December, 1928.—In this column are given the figures covering the month of December, or, as in the case of stocks, etc., the
situation on December 30 or January 1.
• , « .A *.
m
Corresponding month, November, 1922, or December, 1922— Thefiguresin this column present the situation exactly a year previous to'those in the "December, 1923," column (that is, generally December, 1922), but where no figures are available
for December, 1923, the November, 1922,figureshave been inserted in this column for comparison with the November,
1923, figures.
Cumulative total through latest month.—These columns set forth, for those items that properly can be cumulated, the cumulative totals for the calendar years 1922 and 1923, respectively, except where the December, 1923, figures are lacking, in
which case the cumulative total for eleven months in each year is given.
Percentage increase (+) or decrease ( - ) cumulative, 1923 from 1922.—-This column shows the per cent by which the cumulated
total for the twelve months ending December, 1923, is greater (+) or less (—) than the total for the corresponding period
ended December, 1922.
Base year or period.—For purposes of comparison with a previous more or less normal period, all items, so far as possible, are
related to such a period by* index 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 base, and if no pre-war figures
are available, 1919 is usually taken to avoid using a war year as a basis. In some c ases it will be noted that figures were
not available prior to 1920 or even 1921, and that sometimes a month, or an average of a few months, has to be used
rather than a year's average. Also, for some industries, 1919 would not be a proper base on account of extraordinary
conditions in the industry and therefore some more representative year has been chosen.
Index numbers.—In order to visualize the trend of each movement, index or relative numbers are given for the last four months
and for two corresponding months of a year ago. These index numbers are computed by allowing the monthly average
for the base period, usually 1913 or 1919, to equal 100. If the movement for a current month is greater than the base
the index number will be greater than 100. If the converse is true the index number will be less than 100. The difference
between 100 and any index number gives at once the per cent increase or decrease compared with the base period. Index
numbers may also be used to compute the approximate per cent increase or decrease from one month to the next.
Percentage increase (-f) or decrease (—) December from November.—The last column shows the per cent increase or decrease
of tlie figure for the last month compared with the preceding month.

} Compiled by the National Association of Finishers of Cotton Fabric* from reports from the greater part of their membership, estimated to cover approximately the foliwing percentages of the industry: White goods, 72 per cent; dyed goods, 62 per cent; printed goods, 30 per cent. Many plants were unable to give details as to classes of
oocls. so that the total column does not always agree with the sum of the component classes.
;1 The goods are billed as completed; hence this approximates a production figure.
Average for 11 months.

of the 7 reporting mills for 1918 was 14,984,000 feet. On the basis of 40 per cent capacity, the 19IS average monthly production of all-mills is computed as 37.4tiO,000 feet.
•Regarding this as normal production, there has been computed the probable production ol the total redwood capacity based on the proportion which capacity of the reporting
niiUs bears to the total of all mills. The columns on shipments and orders received represent a similar relationship between the actual reported figures and tiie total capacity
of all mills.
1
Figures in this column represent the total cut of 10 species of lumber—yellow pine, Douglas fir, hemlock, western pine, redwood, maple, birch, beech, white fir. and
IT pine—representing over 70 per cent of the total cut of lumber in tiio United States. Annual figures for 1»13 and 1914 arc from actual reports to the u. 5. Departsugar
went of Agriculture, Forest Service, and from 1915 through 1920 are computed on the basis of actual reports to the Forest Service. Monthly figures for 1920 are obtained by prorating the cut of each species as reported by the associations whose figures are carried in these columns to the Forest Service totals. For subsequent months prorating is
done on an approximate average for the years 1917 to 1920.

Orders, indebtedness, and prompt payments compiled by the Credit Clearing House from reports to it by manufacturers and wholesalers on items of credit from their
ledgers concerning merchants or jobbers to whom they sell. The commodities covered are largely textiles, and the individual orders are stated
to average from f250 to $500,
depending on trade conditions. As one transaction may cover both an order and an indebtedness or payment, the sum of the percentages o r ordors, indebtedness, and payments will usually exceed 100 por cent. The year 1916 is taken as a base, as it is bolieved to be more nearly normal than 1919, in which orders and payments were unusually
larse3 and indebtedness unusuallv small.
Delinquent accounts, electrical trade, are compiled by the National Electrical Credit Association, from reports to its constituent regional associations by electrical manu3

* Daily average for the last period (7 or 8 days) of the month, exclusive of Canadian roads. Tho Association reports tho number of freight cars which are idle (surplus)
and also tho number of requests for cars which can not be filled (shortage). The difference between these two figures represents the net freight-car situation for tho country
as a whole. The car shortages can not ordinarily be filled from tho idle cars because of the uneven geographical distribution of tho latter.
* Includes othor classes than groups listed.
* Total includes coke shipments in addition to commodity groups listed.
