SUMMARY FOR MARCH.
The chief outstanding features of the March industrial figures are the marked increases in iron and steel
activity, the big increase in construction, and the improvement in the automobile and accessory business.
The first two of these are fundamental industries in
which a sustained increase is bound to be of more than
ordinary importance. Production in almost all lines
is on a distinctly higher level than it was a few months
ago. The security markets are reflecting confidence
in the future.
Business men, including those in the agricultural
districts, are more optimistic than at any time in the
preceding 18 months.
In estimating the present situation, the unsettled
world conditions must be taken into account. Reconstruction in Europe is far behind what it is in this
country. Domestic conditions give every reason to
expect a steady improvement in business, but with
the present foreign situation there is little likelihood
of any immediate boom movement.
BUSINESS INDICATORS.
The diagrams on the following page have been pre$&red 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
100797°—22
1
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 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.

BUSINESS INDICATORS.
The following table gives comparative index numbers for a selected list of important business movements. It is 3lieved that this
table will prove useful, because it separates out from the large mass of material a comparatively small number of it» i 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 index numbers can be caleu >ted 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.

WHEAT FLOUR
Out of 50 commodities for which figures relative to
1919 are available for the month of March, production increased over February in 43 cases, decreased
in 5 cases, while 2 commodities remained the same.
This huge increase is partially real and partially due
to the increase of about 10 per cent in working time
over February. The substantial character of the
March production is shown in comparison with a
year ago, with 35 increases and only 13 decreases.
The principal relative production increases in March
over February occurred in the fuels, metals and
building equipment groups.
Compared with the 1919 average, 26 commodities
were produced in greater volume in March, 21 in legs
volume, and 3 at the same rate. In other words,
March production stood at about the level of the
year 1919, with fuels and building equipment showing
the highest relative increases.

Only 14 out of 50 commodities were below the 1921
average in March, while 28 were below the 1920 average. The decrease from 1920 occurred chiefly in
metals, clay products, and transportation vehicles. In
comparison with the 1913 average, 21 commodities
have increased and 10 have decreased, 5 of the decreases occurring among the metals.

March production established new high records
since the end of 1919 in sugar, anthracite coal, crude
petroleum, yellow pine and North Carolina pine
lumber, oak flooring and enamel baths and lavatories.
On the other hand, March made a new low record in
ship construction at only 2 per cent of the 1919
average.
STOCKS.
Movement of commodity stocks during March
showed little change from February. There were 14
decreases, 15 increases, and 2 without change. The
food commodities had a smaller decrease than in February—7 decreases, 4 increases, and 2 unchanged, as
against 9 decreases and 3 increases during February.
Among the other commodities there were 12 increases
and only 5 decreases—about the same as in February.
Business concerns are apparently replenishing their
stocks, confident that prices will not go much lower
and that demand will increase beyond the hand-tomouth basis prevailing for some time past. Corn and
petroleum stocks again climbed to new high levels,
while tin stocks more than doubled during the month.
Compared with a year ago, stocks in March still
showed the same proportion as in February—10 increases as against 20 decreases, not including tobacco,
which is reported only quarterly. The food group
showed 4 increases and 9 decreases and other commodities 6 increases and 11 decreases. Outside of the
food commodities, only 4 articles were below the 1919
average stocks, while coffee and flaxseed alone were
below the 1913 average.

Prices to the farmer for crops and for live stock continued to rise, especially the latter. Wholesale prices
rose slightly, due to the rise in the wholesale prices of
crops and animal products. Clothing and metals
declined slightly. The Federal Reserve Board index
for foreign comparison rose on account of the rise in
the price of exported goods, but Dun's and Bradstreet's indices declined.
10
Ketail prices continued to decline in March, all
groups showing the same trend, with a total decrease
of 2 per cent in the cost of living. The retail prices of
food and shelter declined the most.
Wholesale prices in England, France, and India rose
slightly in March, ending the declines that had been
practically continuous since the slight rise last September. In Canada and Japan prices continued to
decline.
Taking the individual wholesale prices as reported
in the table and diagram on pages 4 and 5, the
marked rise in live stock to producers is evident, while
among the crops there were two increases, one decrease,
and two unchanged. The market price of farm products showed increases in all commodities except wheat
and oats, which declined, and tobacco which remained
unchanged. In the food group increases were also
general. The clothing group, on the other hand,
reflected declines in all branches, except cotton yarns
and print cloth, which advanced, and woolen goods,
which were unchanged; the chief declines were in hides
and leather. An increase in coke was the only change
in the fuel group, while metals were irregular in a
narrow range. Declines in lumber featured the building group.
SALES.
The following table on sales of various commodities
has been prepared to give a closer aspect of business
needs—actual sales as against production, which may
represent orders booked some months before. The
sales statistics for commodities also give an indication
of future production. The separate commodities covered in this table are few and in most cases relatively
unimportant, as the sales can only be reported where
trade associations supply the data; but the figures may
be found to be of some interest. In addition to the
orders of separate commodities booked by manufacturers (included in the first group in the table), the
distributive movement of goods as a whole is shown
through various channels to the consumer. There has
also been shown the actual sales of services, such as
transportation, communication, and advertising, in
which sale and use run practically together, and also
the sale of investment and speculative securities.
Some of the items, marked by an asterisk (*), are
relatives based on values instead of quantities, and
therefore generally dependent on fluctuations in the
purchasing power of the dollar, i. e., the level of prices,
as well as the fluctuations of sales of physical goods.
Therefore, a decline during the past year does not
necessarily represent a decline in the physical amount
of sales. A rough corrected figure, eliminating the
price variation, might be obtained by dividing each
item in such series by the wholesale or retail price
index number, whichever most nearly corresponds
with the class of business done. In a few items expressed in value no correction is necessary for comparison, because there has been little or no change in the
price for the goods or services—for instance, postal,
telegraph, and telephone receipts. Bond sales on the
New York Stock Exchange are really not based on
value, because sales of bonds are not reported in their
value at the time of sale, but on their par value; therefore, bond sales represent physical quantities. On the
other hand, new issues of municipal bonds, unless for
refunding purposes, reflect the price level, as the work
for which they are issued requires a larger bond issue
when prices are high.
February sales increased in March for all the individual commodities reported except sanitary pottery,
which remained the same as in February, and clay
fire brick, which declined. Distribution movement
increased considerably and the services so far reported
for March also show the same trend. Securities sales
also increased.
Compared with a year ago, all March sales for individual commodities increased at an enormous ratio,
in most cases doubling the March, 1921, figures.
Distribution sales at retail, however, showed a decline,
due largely to the decrease in prices between the two
dates; wholesale orders increased. March postal receipts and advertising services increased over a year
ago. Sales of securities were also very much larger.

Keceipts of wool at Boston increased considerably
in March, owing to the seasonal increase in receipts
of foreign wool; domestic receipts declined. Total
imports of wool also showed the increased foreign
wool movement. Consumption of wool was 12 per
cent greater than in February and the largest since
January, 1920. Worsted machinery showed a decrease of about 15 per cent in activity from the previous month, but woolen machinery and carpet looms
were about 5 per cent more active than in February.
Prices of wool increased, yarns declined, and dress
goods and suitings remained unchanged.

Cotton consumption in March was about the same
as in January, and also about equal to the daily average for February. Stocks of cotton continued to
decline in a seasonal movement. Imports increased
slightly and exports finally recovered from their
slump with a gain of 36 per cent over February, while
exports of cotton cloth gained almost 50 per cent.
Although a less number of spindles were active than
in February, the total activity of spindles increased 9
per cent. Slight advances in price took place all
along the line in cottons, except sheetings, which
declined.
Knit underwear production continued to increase
and shipments also gained. New orders declined and
a reduction took place in the outstanding unfilled
orders at the end of March.
Silk imports continued to decline, but consumption
increased, resulting in another fall in stocks. The
price of raw silk declined 8 per cent.
Imports of burlap and of unmanufactured fibers
showed large increases over February.
METALS.
The iron aiid steel trade made a big forward movement in March, with increases of 25 and 36 per cent,
respectively, in the production of pig iron and steel
ingots. Sales of merchant pig iron doubled, and production, shipments, and unfilled orders of merchant
iron made considerable gains. Stocks in merchant
furnaces declined but steel plants increased their holdings of pig iron. Exports of iron and steel products
were 55 per cent larger than in February, and imports
also increased. Unfilled orders of the United States
Steel Corporation made a positive increase after declining regularly since July, 1920. Foundry-iron
production in Ohio continued to increase. Price
changes in iron and steel were almost negligible except
a drop of 10 cents per 100 pounds in structural steel
beams.

FUEL AND POWER.
In anticipation of the coal strike, the production of
coal and coke rose to the highest marks reached in
over a year, anthracite showing a larger production
than in any previous month since 1919. Electricpower production was about the same as in January
and December but larger than in February. The
amount of anthracite coal held by producers continued to decline, but was almost 150 per cent larger
than a year ago. Exports of both anthracite and
bituminous coal increased, while coke exports declined.
Coal prices were virtually unchanged, both wholesale
and retail, while coke was slightly higher.
Production and consumption of petroleum increased
in March to new high records, imports were the
highest on record with one exception, and stocks rose
to the highest point since the war. Exports of
gasoline rose to the highest point since January, 1921.
The report of refined petroleum products for February
showed a decline in production in each case but an
increase in stocks of each product. Gasoline consumption declined in Febraury.

Copper production rose 65 per cent in March to the
highest point since April, 1921, and exports increased
53 per cent, reaching a mark not surpassed since May,
1920. A slight decline took place in the price of electrolytic copper.
Zinc production rose 18 per cent, attaining the
highest point since December, 1920, while stocks, continuing their decline, reached the lowest point since
October, 1920. Receipts at St. Louis increased, but
shipments from St. Louis continued to decline. A
slight increase occurred in the price of zinc.
Imports of tin increased 70 per cent and resulted in
an increase of 120 per cent in stocks during March.
The price of tin declined slightly.
Lead receipts at St. Louis showed a marked increase
in March, while shipments made a slight gain. No
change occurred in the price of lead.
The following figures on the shipments of agricultural pumps are furnished by the National Association of Farm Equipment Manufacturers from data
compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
The figures are based on reports from 15 firms, except
for the item of " Total value/' on which only 14
firms reported.

AUTOMOBILES.
HIDES AND LEATHER.
Production of passenger automobiles increased 40
per cent in March over the preceding month, while the
output of trucks was 50 per cent greater. Truck
production amounted to 19,422 machines. This is
the largest output recorded in any of the nine months
for which figures are available. The passenger car
output amounted to 152,920 cars in March, which is
by far the largest for any month since last August.
Reports of shipments showed increases over February
corresponding to the increase in production.
RUBBER.
Imports of rubber declined slightly in March, but
consumption by tire manufacturers was the largest
reported since the inauguration of these statistics in
November, 1920, except for August, 1921. The
price of rubber declined slightly.
Production of both pneumatic and solid tires for
March was second only to August, 1921, while innertube production was exceeded by only three previous
months. Shipments of all kinds of tires were large,
but not as numerous as during the summer months
of 1921. Stocks of inner tubes increased to the
highest mark recorded, while pneumatic stocks were
the largest since February, 1921. Stocks of solid
tires decreased slightly.
The following table has been prepared from data
compiled by the Rubber Association of America,
showing rubber consumption for the year 1921 by
half-year periods. Over half of the rubber consumed
during the year went into pneumatic casings, with a
total of 197,244,011 pounds, while automobile tubes
accounted for 55,930,802 pounds and solid automobile tires used up 19,706,505 pounds. The chief
consumption in other lines was in rubber boots and
shoes, with 24,747,242 pounds, and in mechanical
rubber goods, with 21,778,150 pounds.
Imports of total hides and skins in March amounted
to 30,344,000 pounds, compared with 35,390,000
pounds in February. However, imports were 50 per
cent greater than at this time last year. Stocks of
hides at the end of March amounted to 350,350,000
pounds and were the lowest for any months in the
last year and a half for which reports are available.
Decrease occurred in cattle hides and sheepskins. The
price of heavy packer hides showed a sharp decline,
compared with recent months. Calfskins showed only
a slight drop in price.

Leather production for March, from trade sources,
showed a marked increase in the output of oak and
union harness leather. The total of 78,100 stuffed
sides was the largest reported since the fall of 1920.
There was a slight decline in the production of sole
leather, but an increase in skivers.
Figures compiled by the Bureau of the Census show
that stocks of leather at the end of March were the
largest for any recent month, although sole and belting
declined slightly. The production in March increased,
reaching in the case of upper leather the highest point
recorded in these monthly figures.
14
Exports of finished leather showed a marked increase in March. The total for upper leather amounted
to 8,078,000 square feet and was the largest since
May, 1920. Prices of sole leather remained unchanged in March, but chrome calf declined nearly 9
per cent.
The March production of boots and shoes totaled
29,686,011 pairs, compared to 24,900,185 pairs in
February. The following table gives the total boot
and shoe production by months since last November,
when the Bureau of the Census undertook to compile
them. The 1919 monthly average is also given for

BUILDING OPERATIONS.
Building contracts awarded in the 27 northeastern
states in March totaled $293,673,000, compared to
$177,473,000 in February and $164,092,000 in March
of last year. The total floor space in all buildings
awarded in March, exclusive of public works and public utilities, amounted tc 51,957,000 square feet. This
latter record has been exceeded only once within the
last two years.

The chief increases occurred in residential building,
with a total floor space of 30,348,000 square feet, or
84 per cent greater than March. Industrial buildings
increased 72 per cent in floor space and 126 per cent
in value, compared to February. Contracts awarded
for public buildings, educational buildings, business
buildings, social and recreational buildings, all increased in both floor space and in value, compared
with the preceding month and the same month last
year.
The accompanying diagram on the volume of contracts awarded shows the large increase in residential
building and the decline in business and industrial
building, compared to the early part of 1920.
BUILDING MATERIALS.
In general, the March production and shipments of
all building materials were larger in volume than for
recent months and much larger than a year ago.
Southern pine production increased nearly 15 per cent
over February. Western pine production increased
41 per cent. North Carolina pine output rose about
3 per cent and oak flooring increased 18 per cent.
Douglas fir and Michigan hardwoods remained practically stationary. Prices of both Southern pine and
Douglas fir declined at the important producing centers. Stocks, where reported, remained about stationary.
Production of clay fire brick increased 23 per cent
in March and slightly exceeded the output of March
last year. Shipments increased in about the same
proportion, while stocks were nearly stationary. New
orders received were slightly less than in February,
but the total unfilled orders were larger.
Silica brick showed about the same conditions as
clay fire brick, except that shipments made a smaller
relative increase.
The March production of face brick increased 84
per cent over February and compares very favorably
with the output in any month of last year. Shipments
and unfilled orders both showed large increases, while
stocks were slightly greater, compared either with
February or with March of last year.
Cement production amounted to 6,685,000 barrels,
or 56 per cent greater than in February. Shipments
amounted to 7,002,000 barrels, and were more than
double the corresponding movement in any of the
three preceding months. Stocks showed a slight decrease in March but are still larger than for any month
of 1921.
Shipments, stocks, and new orders for enamel sanitary ware all increased in March, compared with
February. Actual shipments of baths and lavatories
were from 60 to 140 per cent greater than a year ago.
With the exception of sinks, stocks were considerably
smaller than a year ago.

Increases of good size were shown both over February, 1922, and March, 1921, in the March figures of
receipts, shipments, and slaughter of cattle. Exports
of beef products were over 40 per cent ahead of both
the previous month and a year ago, while storage
holdings continued to decline and were only half as
large as in March, 1921. A decline in inspected
slaughter occurred in February and consumption of
beef was also less than January; both slaughter and
consumption were greater than in February, 1921,
however. Prices of cattle and beef advanced slightly.
Receipts and total shipments of hogs declined in
March but stocker and feeder shipments were 19 per
cent greater than in February. Slaughter declined
slightly. Exports declined but storage holdings continued to increase. Inspected slaughter and consumption both declined in February; compared with a

Receipts of wheat declined in March but shipments
increased. The visible supply again made a seasonal
decline, but was three times as large as a year ago.
Exports were 30 per cent larger than in February but
slightly smaller than in December and January and
considerably less than a year ago. Production of
wheat flour continued to rise slightly. The price of
wheat declined slightly and flour was irregular.
Corn movement was very much less than the large
movement in February but the visible supply continued to increase to a new high record. Exports also
reached a new top mark. The price of corn advanced
fractionally.
Large increases occurred in the export movement of
oats and barley, while rye declined. Prices of oats
were less than in February but increases were made
in barley and rye.
Car loadings of all grain and grain products declined
20 per cent from February, but were larger than a
year ago. Exports of grains increased 18 per cent
and were larger than any month since last September.

Exports of vegetable oils increased slightly in March,
but were far below a year ago. Imports, however,
were very heavy, the largest since April, 1920. Consumption of oleomargarine was larger than in February, but less than any other month since last July.
Stocks of cotton seed continued to decline sharply
and were about one-third as large as a year ago. Production and stocks of cottonseed oil declined seasonally and were very much less than a year ago.
The price of cottonseed oil advanced 14 per cent over
February.
Flaxseed receipts increased. Stocks declined heavily
and shipments of linseed oil rose slightly. Shipments

showed a slight increase and cold-storage holdings
were about the same. Inspected slaughter for February was less than in January and also less than a year
ago. Prices of ewes increased 16 per cent and lambs
increased 3 per cent.
Exports of condensed milk increased 25 per cent
over February, and receipts of all dairy products
showed large increases, especially eggs. Cold-storage
holdings of butter and cheese made a seasonal decline,

Prices of butter and cheese declined slightly.
Imports of sugar continued to increase but the domestic cane-crop receipts almost came to an end.
Meltings at refineries increased 29 per cent and still the
stocks of raw sugar climbed 67 per cent over the end
of February. Exports of refined sugar increased 80
per cent over February and made a new high record
since the end of 1919. Prices of sugar rose slightly.

RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION.
Surplus of idle cars continued to be reduced in
March, declining over 15 per cent during the month
and standing at less than half the December figure.
The chief decline was in coal cars on account of the
demand for coal before the strike occurred. Shortage
of cars reported decreased slightly. The number of
bad order cars also showed a slight decrease after
several months of increase. Car loadings continued
to gain and were the largest since last October.

Immigration showed a further fall as the quotas
for the fiscal year ending June 30 approach their
limit. Emigration was also very much less than in
February.

PUBLIC FINANCE.
Further progress was made in March in the reduction
of the interest bearing debt of the United States. A
considerable reduction in Liberty and Victory Loan
bonds occurred during the month, the largest in any
month since June, 1920. Customs receipts continued
to increase but total ordinary receipts for March,
comprising chiefly the first quarter's income tax
payments, were 40 per cent less than in March, 1921.
Ordinary disbursements of the Government were considerably higher than in January or February but less
than a year ago. A slight increase took place in the
amount of money held outside the Treasury and the
Federal reserve system,
BANKING AND FINANCE.
Debits to individual accounts and bank clearings
increased from 22 to 23 per cent over February in
New York City, while outside New York City the
increase was slightly less. Discounts of the Federal
reserve banks continued their steady decline, while
notes decreased slightly and reserves increased a bit.
The reserve ratio was fractionally higher than in February. Member banks of the Federal reserve showed
slight declines in both loans and deposits. The call
loan rate declined to 4.35 per cent and the commercial
paper rate was slightly lower at 4.8 per cent. Savings
deposits in the postal savings system declined slightly,
as did those in the banks of the Chicago district, but
the Philadelphia district showed an increase. New
life insurance business in March showed an increase of
19 per cent in oolicies and 18 per cent in amount of
insurance.
Business failures in March showed an increase in
respect to the number of firms, but a decrease in liabilities. Dividend and interest payments were large
Stock prices advanced about 3 per cent in March,
while sales showed a tremendous increase. Bond
prices advanced 1.6 per cent and sales increased in
almost as large a proportion as stocks. The number
of stockholders in large corporations continued to
increase during the past quarter, the increase in foreign
holders being quite regular in all companies. Brokers7
holdings of United States Steel common stock increased with the advance in the price of the stock.
Gold receipts at the mint increased slightly in
March. The Rand output for the first quarter was
only one-third of the same period last year, on account
of the strike. Imports of gold continued to increase,
while exports were very small.

Production of silver increased in March but was
still considerably less than a year ago. Imports
exceeded exports in March, thus reversing the February
condition. The price of silver declined slightly.

In spite of this condition, the foreign exchange index

of the relatively heavy weighting of the German
exchange.

MONTHLY MINERAL PRODUCTION INDEX.
There are now available for the first time monthly
figures which can give a current index of the mining
production of the United States. All important
minerals produced may be shown on a monthly basis,
except natural gas, and these products—bituminous
coal, anthracite coal, petroleum, iron ore, copper, lead,
zinc, gold and silver—represented over 88 per cent of
the total value of mineral products, according to the
census of 1909, and 87 per cent in 1919.
In forming an index of mining productivity, official
annual figures are obtainable on a prewar basis, while
monthly figures for the past two years are used from
whatever source compiled. The index is weighted
arithmetically by adjusted average values for the years
1909-13, and these years are taken as 100 in calculating relative figures.
Copper.—Annual figures through 1920 are from the
U. S. Geological Survey, representing smelter production from domestic ore. Monthly figures for 1920 are
compiled from data prepared by the Engineering and
Mining Journal and prorated to agree with the annual
figures. Monthly figures beginning with 1921 are
from the American Bureau of Metal Statistics, which
agree closely with preliminary official figures for the
year 1921; the 1921 annual figure is taken from the
American Bureau of Metal Statistics.

WEIGHTING FACTORS.
i Adding Alaska to total for United States.
Owing to data for lead, gold, and silver not being
available monthly previous to 1921, there has also
been calculated a separate index, leaving out these
products, so that a true comparison may be made
between the separate months of 1920 and the months
of 1921 and 1922.
No allowance has been made for seasonal variation
in production, as for three commodities only one year's
data are available monthly. The index shows the
actual physical output month by month.
COMPARISON WITH OTHER INDICES.
Other indices of mining production have been compiled on an annual basis, and while the present investigation was under way the Federal Reserve Board
issued a monthly production index on mining based
on the year 1919. The present index has been completed and published, because (1), it gives a combination of the annual and the monthly figures on a prewar base; (2) it includes important mining products—
gold and silver—previously not available on a monthly
base; (3) it includes new sets of monthly figures on
other commodities, such as iron ore, copper, lead
and zinc, which reflect conditions as close to the mine
as possible; and (4) it uses as weights the relative
values of the minerals as close to the mine as possible.
The Department of Commerce index of mining production runs very close to the annual indices prepared
respectively by Prof. Edmund E. Day (Harvard
University Review of Economic Statistics, Preliminary Vol. II, No. 10) and by Prof. Walter W. Stewart
RESULTS.
A glance at thefiguresin the table and charts accompanying this article shows continued development of
the mineral production of the United States before the
war. The depression in iron ore and bituminous coal
at the outbreak of the war caused the production curve
to recede in 1914, but in 1915 it was above the 1913
level again, and it continued to advance to meet our
war needs until the maximum was reached in 1918.
The slump in demand for metals after the armistice
caused a sharp decline in 1919 almost to the 1915
level, but the post-war boom, especially in petroleum
and bituminous coal, led to another increase in the
mineral output in 1920. The depression of 1921,
starting immediately at the beginning of the year,
brought production down below the pre-war average.
In comparing the monthly figures with normal, the
exceptionally large seasonal variation in iron-ore production must be taken into account. That is largely
responsible for the increase in June, 1921, while in
October the increased output of coal in the face of a
threatened railroad strike brought the production index to the highest point of the year. The seasonal
decline in iron ore was the chief factor in the November decline, and the decline in coal production was
responsible for the further recession in December, in
spite of gains in most of the other metals.
The improvement in production in 1922 has been
general in all the minerals. The gain in March, reaching the highest point since December, 1920, was partly
due to special activity in the coal mines in anticipation
21
of the strike, and the April index will show a large
drop as a result of the strike. Petroleum production
reached a new high level in March, and copper showed
a large increase over February.

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 the figures do 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:
February, 1922.—This column gives the February figures corresponding to those for March shown in the next column—in other words,
cover the previous month, and in some cases, where indicated oy a footnote, refer to the previous quarter; that is, ending
December 31, 1921.
March, 1922.—In this column are given the figures covering the month of March, or, as in the case of stocks., etc., the situation
on March 31 or April 1. In a few cases (usually where returns are reported quarterly only) thefiguresare for the quarter ending
March 31 or the condition on that date. Where this column is left blank, nofiguresfor March were available at the time of going
press (May 6).
Corresponding month, February or March, 1921.—The figures in this column present the situation exactly a year previous to those
in the "March, 1922," column (that is, generally, March, 1921), but where no figures were available for March, 1922, the February,
1921, figures have been inserted in this column for comparison with the February, 1922, figures. In the case of quarterly figures,
this column shows the corresponding quarter of 1921.
Cumulative total through latest month.—These columns set forth, for those items that can properly be cumulated, the cumulative total
for the first three months of the calendar years 1921 and 1922, respectively, except where the March, 1922, figures are lacking,
in which case the cumulative total for two months in each year is given.
Percentage increase ( + ) or decrease ( —) cumulative 1922 from 1921.—This column shows the per cent by which the cumulated total for
the first three (two in some cases) months of 1922 is greater ( + ) or less ( —) than the total for the corresponding period of 1921.
Base year or period.—For the purpose 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 prewar figures are available, 1919
is usually taken to avoid using a war year as a basis. In some cases 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 decrase from one month to the next.
Percentage increase ( + ) or decrease ( —) March from February.—The last column shows the per cent increase or decrease of the figure
for the last month compared with the preceding month.

Except imports of raw silk, unmanufactured fibers and burlap from the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. The figures
for knit underwear are secured from the Knit-Goods Manufacturers of A merica; those relating to raw silk from the Silk A ssociation of A merica. Receipts of wool at Boston
are compiled by the Boston Chamber of Commerce.

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 26,517,000 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 dozens, which, by comparison, indicates that the
normal production of the mills reporting above comprises about 40 per cent of the industry.

No allowance made for seasonal variation in computing these index numbers. Thefiguresrepresent about 85 per cent of the total iron ore production of the United
States.
» Yearlyfiguresrepresent the monthly averages of total production of all companies as compiled annually by the A merican Iron and Steel Institute. The institute reports
monthly productionfiguresfor 30 companies which, in 1920, produced 84.2 per cent of the total output of the country. In order to make the monthlyfigurescomparable,
they4 have been calculated to a 100 per cent production on the basis of the above percentage.
Based on pig iron and rolled products, as used by the Iron Trade Review. Beginning with January, 1922, figures on exports are not exactly comparable with the
precedingfiguresinasmuch as the new export classification has made it possible to include several items for which formerly no quantities were reported.

Except printing activity, from United Typothetae of A merica and printing purchases and sales from A merican Writing Paper Company. Data for paper, except exports,
are furnished by the Federal Trade Commission; exports from the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
* Printing activity based on productive hours reported by plants in 52 cities in 30 states, each department being weighted for the combined index number.
3 Purchases of printing paper and sales of printed product by about 350 concerns, doing from 20 to 25 per cent of the total commercial printing business of the country.
AS the paper industry was in a great boom in 1919, index numbers based on that year are not regarded as true indices; therefore 1918 was taken as a base.

1 Based onfigurescompiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The data embrace returns from packers, tanners, dealers, importers, and manufacturers. As given in the monthly reports by the Bureau of the Census, the returns for hides and skins are expressed in numbers of hides and skins. For the above
summary these nave been reduced to pounds on the basis of the average weights of each class. Similarly data on leather have been converted to pounds or square feet
from reports in skins, sides, backs, butts, pounds, etc.
2 From reports by the Tanners* Council; sole leather figures include estimates for firms outside the Tanners' Council, so as to represent the total for the country. Figures
and8skivers and harness do not include estimates of outside firms and are believed to represent 80 per cent of the total production.
Beginning December, 1919, these statistics cover amount of harness leather "stuffed" rather than that produced, but it is stated that the variation between these items
is small.
< Includes estimated production of firms outside Tanners' Council.
* Data from the Leather Belting Exchange, and is estimated to represent from 65 to 75 per cent of the industry.
«Includes skins with and without wool, but does not include weight of wool

Data compiled by the F. W. Dodge Co., covering small towns and rural districts as well as large cities. Prior to May, 1921, these figures covered 25 northeastern
stateo and the District of Columbia. The states are those north and east of, and including, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Tennessee, and Virginia, together
with portions of eastern Kansas and Nebraska. Beginning May, 1921, North Carolina and South Carolina were added to the list, but this addition is stated to have little
effect upon the total.

Data compiled by the F. W. Dodge Co., covering small towns and rural districts as well as large cities, except fire losses in the United States and Canada, included
here for convenience, compiled by the New York Journal of Commerce. Prior to May, 1921, the building figures covered 25 northeastern states and the District of Columbia.
The states are those north and east of, and including, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Tennessee and Virginia, together with portions of eastern Kansas and
Nebraska. Beginning May, 1921, North Carolina and South Carolina were added to the list, but this addition is stated to have little effect upon the total.
* Grand total includes military and naval buildings and miscellaneous, in addition to the groups listed in this and the preceding table (p. 72).

The figures given for production and stocks of yellow pine are computed from data furnished by the Southern Pine Association. The method of computing is first to
find the per cent which the actual production of the mills reporting is to the normal produciton of these same mills. This per cent is then applied to the normal production of 192 mills. Assuming that the mills reporting are a good sample of the industry the resulting figure in each month is equivalent to the actual production of the 192
identical mills and hence shows the trend of the industry. The same procedure is followed in the case of stocks. The normal monthly production of the 192 mills is given
as 484,065,392 feet and the normal stocks of the same mills as 1,262,450,326 feet. By normal production the Southern Pine Association means the average output for the first
4 months of 1916 and normal stocks refer to the average stocks during the 16 months ending with April, 1916.
2
The Western Pine Manufacturers1 Association has supplied figures showing the actual and normal production for the mills reporting in each of the periods shown.
From these figures the per cent of normal production is obtained in each case, and this per cent is applied to the normal production of 54 identical mills. The normal
monthly production of these 54 mills is given as 148,000,000 board feet and is estimated to represent 70 per cent of the output of the western pine territory.
8
Actual figures reported by about 20 mills each month to the California White and Sugar Pine Association; the number of mills varies from 13 to 26.

* Thefiguresgiven in these columns were obtained by applying the percentagefiguresof actual production and shipments to normal production of reporting mills as
supplied by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association to the actual production of 124 mills for May, 1920. The production in that month was 447,674,540 board feet.
5 The California Redwood Association has furnished to the Bureau of the Census thefigureson the actual production, shipments, and orders received by 7 identical
mills for each month of 1918,1919, and 1920. These 7 mills represent 40 per cent of the capacity of all listed mills for these years. For the first 4 months of 1921 reports
were furnished from 10 mills representing 56£ per cent of the capacity of all listed mills. For the remaining months of 1921 reports are available from 11 mills representing
71 per cent of the total listed capacity. The actual average monthly production of the 7 reporting mills for 1918 was 14,984,000 feet. On the basis of 40 per cent capacity of
the 1918 average monthly production of all mills is computed as 37,460,000 feet. Regarding this as normal production, there has been computed the probable production
of the total redwood capacity based on the proportion which the capacity of the reporting mills bears to the total of all mills. The columns on shipments and orders received represent a similar relationship between the actual reported figures and the total capacity of all mills.
«Actualfiguresreported by about 40 mills each month to the Michigan Hardwood Manufacturing Association; the number of mills varies from 36 to 58, but 48 is the
highest number reporting in any month since the beginning of 1919.

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 65.
The computed figures given are obtained by first determining for a given month the per cent which the actual production is of the normal production of the identical mills
2
which reported in 1919. A similar per cent of actual shipments to normal production is applied to the samefigureto obtain the computed shipment figures. The resulting
figures represent a computed production as of identical mills for each month. Thefiguresare of the same order of magnitude as the actual reported production and shipments, but avoid the rather wide variations due to different mills reporting in different months.
3
Compiled by the Northern Hemlock and Hardwood Manufacturers7 Association, representing chiefly Wisconsin and upper Michigan mills. These figures represent
aetual reports from 60 to 75 mills each month. The hardwoods cut are mostly maple, birch, and beech.
* Data from reports of the Oak Flooring Manufacturer's Association, by 25 mills, said to represent about 90 per cent of the total oakflooringindustry.

Except wholesale prices, monthly averages, from U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The sources of the other data in this table are: Clay fire and
silica brick from the Refractories Manufacturers' Association and face brick from the American Face Brick Association.
» Figures for 1921 are from reports of 68 identical mills with a monthly capacity of 78,645,942 bricks, which is estimated by the association to represent from 68 to 70
per cent of the total clay fire brick capacity of the United States. Figures for 1919,1920, and 1922 are computed to this capacity, respectively, from reports from 53, 56, and
60 mills having a monthly capacity for the years in question of 71,572,186, 73,526,103, and 73,307,190 bricks.
3
Figures for 1921 are from reports of 15 identical mills with a monthly capacity of 27,305,500 bricks, which is estimated by the association to represent from 78 to 80 per
cent of the total silica brick producing capacity of the United States. Figures for earlier years are computed to this capacity from reports of 12 identical mills with a monthl y
capacity of 25,448,833 bricks.
4
The figures on face brick include data from all firms reporting to the American Face Brick Association each month. The variation in the number of firms reporting
does not materially affect the comparison, as it has been checked on a small number of identical firms.

Data furnished by the Enameled Sanitary Ware Manufacturers' 'Association and said to represent approximately 98 per cent of the total output in the United StatesThe Association explains that orders shipped are the best current index of the industry. Orders received are likely to pyramid during periods of great activity to be followed by cancellations if the demand drops off. Stocks always increase during the winter and spring months because more efficient work at the enameling ovens can be
done in cold weather and manufacturers operate at maximum capacity as long as they can finance operations and find storage capacity for the products.
* Data furnished by Sanitary Potters' Association and include the following articles, with percentages of total orders in 1920: Siphon jets 6.5 per cent, washdowns 54 per
cent, reverse traps 4.3 per cent, small tanks 27.7 per cent, large tanks 5.2 per cent, and lavatories (not reported prior to July, 1920) 2.3 per cent.

Except price of steel beams, from the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, representing average of weekly prices for the month and placed here for
convenience.
a This index number, furnished through the courtesy of the Aberthaw Construction Co., is designed to show the relative changes in the cost of constructing a standard
concrete factory building. The company believes that the year 1914 gives a normal base and that July, 1920, represented the peak of building costs.
* The construction cost index, computed by the Engineering News Record, is based upon the costs of steel (structural shapes, Pittsburgh base), cement (f. o. b. Chicago,
exclusive of bags), lumber (southern pine, New York base), and the rates paid common labor in the steel industry. The prices are weighted on the basis of the total production4of steel, cement, and lumber, and the total supply of common labor.
Compiled by the George A. FuUer Company, reflecting wages and material costs in New York City, originally on a 1909 relative base and converted to a 1913 base. These
costs are based on buildings actually constructed by this company, as follows: Hotel building, built in 1913-14, high-grade, containing 11,500,000 cubic feet; loft office building,
built in 1909, containing 3,647,000 cubic feet; subdivided office building, built in 1909, containing 8,070,000 cubic feet.
* Compiled by the Engineering News-Record, on the basis of contracts let as reported by this publication and its construction cost index number, based on 1913 costs,
e Two-month average, May and October, 1919.
7 Reported by The Container Club and representing about 50 per cent of the paper box industry. Usually 16 firms rtport, with a minfaniiTn of 14 firms in part of 1919,
and a maximum of 18 firms in March, 1922.
e Average of last six months of year.

i Data from the American Railway Association.
* At end of month, exclusive of Canadian roads. The Association reports the number of freight cars which are idle (surplus) and also the number of requests for cars
which can not be filled (shortage). The difference between these two figures represents the net freight car situation for the country as a whole. The car shortages can not
ordinarily be filled from the idle cars because of the uneven geographical distribution of the latter.
*Includes other classes than groups listed.
* Total includes coke shipments in addition to commodity groups listed.
* Index number less than 1.
* Number of railroad freight cars in need of repairs on first day of each month. Note that 1913 is the base year, having a monthly average of 150,909 cars in need of
repairs.

This table is submitted in response to a demand for publication of the figures of sales of individual stores, which have been compiled from published reports. These
figures represent money values of sales. On account of the tremendous increase in J. C. Penney Co. sales, this store is not included in our total of 10-cent store sales given
on page 105. The index numbers of sales of 156 department stores and of 13 grocery chains were compiled by the Federal Reserve Board. Data on American
Wholesale Corp. placed here for convenience.
* Separate monthly figures not available.

i Index numbers calculated from data collected by the Federal Reserve Board in cooperation with the National Retail Dry Goods Association from about 300 department stores, showing percentage changes from month to month. The Federal Reserve Board states that the original material was in dollar amounts, except in districts
3,4,8, and 10, where only percentages were received, and the averages for the districts were computed by weighting according to the volume of business done during 1920.
The percentage changes reporter! by the Federal Reserve Board have been converted into index numbers which show the same corresponding percentage increase or
decrease.

These figures represent the number of lines of advertising carried by the leading magazines dated for the month noted.
5 Compiled from 22 identical cities: New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Boston, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Buffalo, San Francisco, Milwaukee,
Washington, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Columbus, Louisville, St. Paul, Birmingham, and Houston. For the years 1916 to 1918, no reports were
available for Boston, Louisville, Houston, and Columbus. The totals for those years were computed from the actual reports of the 18 other cities, allowing 13.85 per cent
of the total to the four missing cities, the average ratio of those cities to the total in the subsequent years.

i Wholesale prices and retail food prices from the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics; farm prices from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Markets and Crop Estimates.
i The wholesale price index number of the U. 8. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, is based on quotations of 328 commodities. These commodities are
arranged in 9 groups as given in the table. In computing this index, the price of each commodity is weighted by multiplying it by the estimated quantity of that article
marketed in the census year 1909.
»The retail food price index compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics represents the changes in the price of 22 articles of foods as reported by retail dealers in 51 of
the larger cities as of the 15th of the month.
* Farm prices of crops represent the relative average prices to farmers of the 10 leading crops on the first of each month. The live stock farm price index is computed
as of the 15th of each month.

First eight columns comprise data composing wholesale price index numbers of the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, as reclassified by the Federal
Reserve Board into the groupings as shown. The weights are the same as those used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the total of all commodities is, therefore, the same.
Data in the last three columns are original compilations of the Federal Reserve Board constructed for the purpose of international price comparisons; basic prices are
obtained from trade journals and private firms and weighted according to the 1913 volume imported and exported, respectively, for "imported goods" and "exported
goods." The total index number includes also goods produced, weighted by production in 1913, and goods consumed, weighted by consumption in 1913.

i Compiled by the Credit Clearing House from reports to it by manufacturers and wholesalers on items of credit facts from their ledgers concerning merchants or jobbers
to whom they sell. The numerical data given above show the percentage which the number of items reported relating to orders or to creation of indebtedness bears to the
totalnumber of transactions reported. As one transaction may cover both an order and an indebtedness or a payment, the sum of the percentages of orders, indebtedness
and payments will usually exceed 100 per cent. The commodities covered are largely textiles, and the individual orders are stated to average from $250 to $600, depending
on trade conditions. The year 1916 is taken as a base, as it is believed to be more nearly normal than 1919, in which orders and payments were unusually large and
indebtedness unusually small.
