SUMMARY FOR JULY.
In spite of serious labor difficulties and other disturbing factors, which under many conditions would
have seriously upset industry, there was still further
progress made in July and August. This is another
proof of the favorable underlying factors upon which
the recent business revival rests. The figures contained in this bulletin show clearly that the rate of
progress in industry and trade was perceptibly slackened in July. A part of this is to be attributed to the
uncertainties created in the minds of business men
by the coal and railroad strikes. In a few instances
actual shortage of fuel was responsible for a smaller
output, although this shortage was not serious until
after the end of July. A part of the decrease in the
rate of business activity in July and August is always
attributable to seasonal conditions. However, if it
had not been for the labor troubles it is probable that
this decline would have been far less marked.
Production records in most industries were lower in
July than in June, but the extent of the real progress
made by business is shown by a comparison of the July
figures with those of a year ago. In almost every instance production is on a much higher level than in 1921.
The iron and steel industry held its own in July
with production records two or three times as great
as a year ago. Bituminous production in July was
only about half the month's normal output, while
anthracite production throughout the strike has been
practically negligible. New high records for consumption and stocks of crude petroleum were made in
9047 °—22
1
July, while production has been exceeded by only
one month in the past,
The building industry continued to gain In July
although there were evidences of the usual midsummer
decline. Contracts let in the first seven months of
this year are 78 per cent greater in volume than for
the same period last year.
Car loading declined slightly in July, but they were
far greater than a year ago. Unemployment has
practically disappeared, and in its place there are
reports of labor shortage. Prices increased again in
July, continuing the movement begun last January,
In most instances the rise in July was not very great.
Activity on the New York stock exchange continued to be marked, although the volume of sales
declined in July compared to June, The market has
been more active in August, with prices continuing
to rise. A part of this activity in the market is no
doubt due to the general feeling of confidence in the
immediate future, but the abundance of money to be
had at comparatively low rates is also, no doubt, a
factor in the strength of the market.
There is reason to suppose that the economic losses
occasioned by the coal and railroad strikes will make
themselves felt for some months to come. Fundamental disturbances to basic industries of that kind can not
take place without having to be Daid tor in i t e V ^ i ' . n
Perhaps the most favorable feature o^ the oresrr" ^ 1

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 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 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.

INDEX OF MINING PRODUCTION.
A further advance occurred in the index of mineral
production hi July as compiled by the Department of
Commerce. This was due largely to an increase in
the movement of iron ore. The increases in petroleum
and zinc production were also important factors. All
minerals, except bituminous coal, copper, and silver,
gamed in July compared with June. The combined
index for July was 105.8, compared with 97.2 hi June,
using the average for 1909-1913 as 100.

INDEX OF CROP MARKETINGS.
The index of crop marketings compiled by the Department of Commerce showed a slight seasonal
increase in July. The index number for July stands
at 79.4, compared to 75.4 in June and 102.1 in July
last year. In July, 1920, the index was 72.0. The

smaller marketings of other cereals, contributed to the

completed and shows a further increase over the preceding months. The index number for June is 126.9,
compared with 122.1 in May; 92.3 in June, 1921 and
112.7 in June, 1920. The marketings of all species of
lumber increased in June, compared with May except
redwood and the hardwoods, maple, birch and
beech. The figures so far available indicate that the
forestry production index will show a distinct decline
in July.

PRICES.
There was a general tendency toward higher prices
in July. The wholesale index of the Department of
Labor rose 5 points for the month, making the index
number 155, compared with 100 as the 1913 average.
There has been a steady rise in this index since January, 1922, when it reached its low point of 138.
During the seven months of this year there has been a
total increase of over 12 per cent.
The principal increase in July occurred in the group
of fuel and lighting commodities, which rose nearly 13
per cent, compared with June. There was a rise of 4
points in the index of farm products. All other
groups of the Department of Labor index rose in July,
except chemicals and drugs and house furnishing
goods, each of which declined slightly, and miscellaneous commodities which showed no change.
On the other hand, Bradstreet's wholesale index
showed practically no change during July and Dun7s
index number declined one point, although up to this
time both of these index numbers have been rising
each month. The retail food index of the Department of Labor rose one point in July, making the total
142, compared with 100 as the 1913 average.
The index numbers of farm prices as compiled by
the Department of Agriculture show little change in
July. A decline of one point brought the index of
crop prices at the farm to 118, compared to 100 in
1913, while the livestock index remained at 119, the
same as in June.
The cost of living index, compiled by the National
Industrial Conference Board, showed a slight increase
in July.
The prices of individual commodities, as given in the
table and chart on pages 4 and 5, showed increases in
all groups in July. Of the 60 commodities listed 31
showed advances, 18 declined, and 11 showed no
change. The largest relative number of increases
occurred in the groups of farm products and foods.
The largest absolute advance for any of the commodities listed occurred in coke, which rose 59 per
cent, compared with June. Calfskins increased 22
per cent, sugar rose 12 per cent, and sheep 17 per cent.
The largest declines in price occurred in crude petroleum which dropped 14.5 per cent and in sulphuric
acid which was 11.3 per cent lower.
SALES.
The effect of the unsettled business conditions and
the usual summer dullness combined to reduce the
volume of sales during July. Of the 14 individual
commodities for which July figures are given in the
accompanying table only two, sanitary pottery and
leather belting, showed an increase over June. How-
ever, with the exception of sales of fine cotton goods
every one of these commodities showed a large increase
over July a year ago. In some instances this increase
was more than 100 per cent. Eight of the 14 commodities showed sales greater than the 1919 average.
Distribution movements continued to maintain or
increase their recent improved conditions. Advertising, postal receipts, and security sales were all lower
than in June, due partly at least to seasonal influences.

Imports of wool in July increased over the low
figure reported for June. Receipts of wool in the
Boston market during July showed a very large increase compared to recent months. The total of
71,307,000 pounds was nearly double the receipts in
June, and larger than for any other single month in
the last two years and over. Large increases occurred in the receipts of both domestic and foreign
wool. On the whole, the activity of woolen and
worsted machinery showed a slight decline, compared with June, and in most instances we*e considerably less than a year ago. Little change was
noted in the prices either of raw or of manufactured
wool compared with the preceding month.

Unfortunately, no comparable figures on the consumption of wool by textile mills are available for
recent months. This is due to the fact that the
American Woolen Company and one or two smaller
firms have failed to furnish their figures. The
Bureau of the Census has compiled reports for the
months of April, May and June of this year and
last, excluding those firms which have not reported.
The figures are given below and have been compiled
from returns made by 612 manufacturers in May and
617 in June, but do not include data for the American
Consumption of cotton by textile mills declined
to 458,548 bales in July or almost 50,000 bales less
than in June. Exports of raw cotton also declined
to 373,742 bales, the lowest figure in the past year with
the exception of February. A part of this decline is
clearly attributable to the seasonal effect of the crop
year end.
Imports of cotton were also smaller than in any
recent month, but considerably larger than a year
ago. Stocks of cotton at mills and warehouses continued their seasonal decline. The total stocks in
both positions at the end of July amounted to
2,703,000 bales, compared to 3,268,000 bales a month
before, and 4,834,000 bales at the end of July last year.
Exports of cotton cloth in July totaled 60,238,000
square yards, a decline of 4.2 per cent from the June
figure, but considerably larger than a year ago.
Exports for the first seven months of this year were
26 per cent greater than in the same period of 1921.
The number of active cotton spindles increased in
July, but there was a decline of nearly 8 per cent in
the number of active spindle hours.
Prices of both cotton and cotton goods rose slightly
in July compared to June.
In the manufactured field there was a decline in the
production of both knit underwear and fine cotton
cloth. There was a very large decline in the sales
of fine cotton cloth, although both orders and shipments of underwear increased.
The consumption of raw silk declined compared
with May and June, while stocks increased. The consumption of raw silk in the first seven months of 1922
have been about 9 per cent less than in the same
months of last year. The price of raw silk in New
York declined during July.

The Bureau of the Census has announced its preliminary summary of the carpet and rug industry for
the year 1921. This is one of the first reports from
the biennial census of manufactures as authorized by
Congress. Seventy establishments reported in 1921,
compared to 75 in 1919. The total quantity of products as measured in square yards showed little change
compared with 1919, although the value was distinctly lower.
The following table summarizes a few of the important figures. More details can be obtained from
the Bureau's preliminary statement:

The movement of iron ore on the Soo Canal in
July totaled 8,943,000 tons, an increase of 35 per cent
over June, and more than double the movement in
July, 1921. During the four months in which the
canal has been open to traffic the movement of ore
this year has been 23 per cent greater than a year ago.
Pig iron production registered another small increase of
less than 2 per cent over June. The total output for
July was 2,400,000 tons. Steel ingot production for
July, prorated to 100 per cent, exceeded 2,843,000
tons, a decline of 5.6 per cent compared with June,
but 200 per cent greater than in July last year. For
the seven months of 1922 pig iron production has
exceeded the output in the same months of 1921 by
53 per cent and steel ingots are 63 per cent in excess.

Reports on merchant pig iron showed a marked
drop in production, sales and unfilled orders, while
shipments were slightly greater than in June. Stocks
of pig iron both at merchant furnaces and at steel
plants as reported by the Association declined 20 per
cent or more in July. Unfilled orders of the U. S.
Steel Corporation continued to increase, reaching a
total of 5,776,000 tons in July. A year ago unfilled
orders totalled 4,830,000, and at their recent low point
in November they amounted to 4,251,000 tons.
Foundry production as reported by the Ohio State
Foundrymens' Association increased 15 per cent over
June.
Exports of iron and steel again declined, reaching
the lowest figure in the last 8 months except for the
short month of February.
Prices of all iron and steel products tended upward
in July although in no case was the increase very
great. Our quotations showed a slight deorease in
basic, valley furnace iron.
The locomotive industry continued to increase
both its shipments and unfilled orders in July. Domestic shipments of locomotives increased 82 per
cent and unfilled orders were 44 per cent greater.
Domestic orders for freight cars also increased about
5 per cent compared with June. Sales of structural
steel declined compared to recent months, but for the
seven months of this year they are 141 per cent
greater than in the same period last year. Production, sales and stocks of sheets showed a marked
decline compared with a month ago. Sales of sheets
fell off 47 per cent compared with June.
The Bureau of the Census has issued a preliminary
statement with regard to the locomotive industry in
1921. Nineteen establishments reported in 1921,
compared to 17 in 1919. The number of persons employed decreased 37.4 per cent compared to 1919,
while salaries and wages declined 44.6 per cent. The
number of steam locomotives manufactured in 1921
was 2,031, valued at $78,271,128, compared with
3,251 in 1919, valued at $130,892,650.
Copper production in July totaled 91,317,000
pounds or nearly 5 per cent less than the revised production figure of 95,633,000 pounds in June. Production so far this year has exceeded last by about
32 per cent. Exports of copper were also slightly
less than in June, but far larger than a year ago.
Zinc production in July amounted to 63,834,000
pounds, an increase of 12 per cent over June and the
largest output for any month since the end of 1920.
Stocks declined slightly during the month, while
receipts and shipments at St. Louis were approximately 40 per cent less than in June. The price rose
about 5 per cent.
Stocks of tin increased over 50 per cent in July.
There was no change in price. Lead shipments and
receipts at St. Louis both showed a pronounced decline
in Julv.

FUELS.
The output of bituminous coal in July amounted
to only 17,003,000 tons, compared to 22,309,000 tons
in June and 30,394,000 tons in July last year. The
July production is the lowest for any month during
the strike except for April, when production was only
15,780,000 tons. The July drop was due largely to
transportation difficulties in the limited non-union
territory which was producing. The total production
of bituminous coal in the 7 months of 1922 was
about 23,000,000 tons, or 10 per cent, less than in the
same period of 1921.

1921 is about 30,000,000 tons below last year. This
represents a decrease of 58 per cent and forms about
one-third of the average annual output of the anthracite mines. There is no possibility of making up all
of this loss and there will have to be considerable
substitution of bituminous or other fuels during the
coming winter. Anthracite storage declined about 40
per cent in July and is now less than one-fifth of
the average stocks carried in 1921.
Coke production also declined in July, both in
beehive and by-product. Exports of coal and coke
declined further, as might be expected. Coal prices,
so far as quotations are available, show only moderate
increases in July. The price of coke advanced nearly
60 per cent during the month.
The production of crude petroleum in July was
approximately 1,000,000 barrels greater than in June.
The output of 46,593,000 barrels ranks as the second
largest month on record, being exceeded only by
March, 1922. Stocks of crude increased more than
5,700,000 barrels, and at 261,478,000 barrels, establishes another new record for the industry. Consumption also exceeded all past records with a total
of 51,387,000 barrels, an increase of 6.6 per cent over
June. Imports showed a slight decline. The price
of Kansas-Oklahoma crude dropped from $2.25 to
$1.93 per barrel. The number of new oil wells completed during the month was 1,798, an increase of
nearly 9 per cent over June. *

Gasoline production in June, the latest figures
available, showed a further increase and established
another new record in this industry. Domestic consumption also made a new high record at 506,964,000
16
gallons. Stocks, on the other hand, declined slightly,
but at 824,966,000 gallons they were only 30,000,000
gallons below the peak reached last April.
The production of other important petroleum
products, including kerosene, gas and fuel oil, and
lubricating oil showed slight increases in June, while
stocks remained relatively stable.
production of passenger cars totaled 223, 201 compared
with the maximum monthly output for the industry
of 263,008 reached in June. In July last year the
production totaled 165,574 cars. Truck production
in July this year totaled 21,243 machines compared to
25,982 in June, and 10,766 in July, 1921.

The cost of building continued to rise during July,
reaching new high marks for the year. The index
numbers available indicate that building costs are
from 60 to 80 per cent above the corresponding figures
for 1913. Building contracts awarded in July in the
27 northwestern states showed a decline in the number
of square feet of floor space compared to recent
months. The total of 51,705,000 square feet represents a drop of nearly 15 per cent compared with the
maximum of 60,256,000 square feet awarded in June.

PAPER AND PULP.
The production of newsprint declined about 5 per
cent in July. The output amounted to 120,839 short
tons. Shipments from the mills and consumption
by publishers each declined in about the same proportion as production. Stocks increased, particularly those in the hands of and in transit to publishers. Prices showed little change but with a slight
rise in the spot market for domestic paper. Both
the production and stocks of other principal kinds
of paper decreased. The same was true of the production, shipment and consumption and stocks of
wood pulp, both mechanical and chemical.
Paper purchases by printers also showed a marked
decline in June compared to May. Printing activity
was also less in the former month.
The production of material for paper box containers, both corrugated and solid fiber board, showed
marked increases in July. This industry showed the
highest rate of activity for any month since the fall
of 1920.

The July figure is the smallest recorded since
February. All classes of buildings, except industrial
buildings and hospitals and institutions shared in this
loss, although the most important was the decline of
over 7,000,000 square feet in residential building. The
total value of the contracts awarded in the same territory, however, showed an increase over June. This
17
was largely accounted for by the large increase in
contracts let for public works and public utilities.
From its nature, such construction can not be expressed in square feet, but in value only. The total
value of all contracts awarded in July was $350,081,000
of which $108,951,000 was for residential construction,
$79,162,000 for public works and utilities, $40,690,000
for educational building, while $44,020,000 were for
business buildings, and $31,883,000 for industrial
structures.
For the first seven months of this year contracts
awarded in the territory covered have totaled
342,295,000 square feet, compared to 196,729,000
square feet in the corresponding months of last year.
This is an increase of 74 per cent. Residential building has increased 87 per cent, business building has
been 78 per cent larger, and industrial building 61 per
cent greater, while educational buildings increased
72,5 per cent in floor space, compared with the same
months of last year.
Fire losses showed a marked increase in July with a
total of $36,668,000 or 50 per cent more than in June.
BUILDING MATERIAL.
The production of all species of lumber except North
Carolina pine showed a seasonal decline in July. The
most marked decline, amounting to 28.7 per cent, was
in Michigan softwoods, chiefly hemlock, Southern pine
production was 10.6 per cent less than in June, and
Douglas fir dropped to 2.6 per cent. Shipments also
declined, except for Michigan hardwoods and North
Carolina pine.
In the flooring industry there was a further slight
increase in the production of oak, but maple flooring
showed a decline of 12 per cent. Shipment and orders
booked, as well as unfilled orders on hand, all declined
in July as compared with June.
Production of all kinds of brick reported to the department showed slight declines in July. Shipments
and stocks of face brick both declined, but there was a
slight increase in unfilled orders. The price of common brick remained steady in the New York districts,
but rose in Chicago.
Cement production again increased in July, with a
total output of 11,557,000 barrels. Shipments for the
month totaled 13,850,000 barrels. Both figures mark
the peak movement of this commodity for the period
since monthly figures have been available.
In the sanitary enamel ware industry there was a
marked decline both in orders shipped and in orders
received compared with the high point reached in
June. Even after these reductions of from 14 to 25
per cent, orders in July were from 50 to 100 per cent
above the 1919 monthly average.
Orders received for sanitary pottery increased approximately 33 per cent in July compared with June.

NAVAL STORES.
The net receipts of turpentine at the three principal
ports in July were slightly greater than in June, but
smaller than for the same month last year. Rosin receipts showed a slight decline from the high mark
reached in the preceding month. Stocks of both commodities increased, but turpentine in storage is far
below the quantity at this time last year. Rosin
stocks, on the other hand, exceed those of a year ago.
FERTILIZER.
The Bureau of the Census has completed the first of
its semiannual reports on sulphuric acid and acid phosphate used in the manufacture of fertilizer. The data
were compiled from the reports of 198 establishments
of which 69 manufactured sulphuric acid. These
establishments represent practically all of the fertilizer
industry other than the dry mixing plants.
The following table gives the production, sales and

Exports of wheat and flour in July were equivalent
to 19,098,000 bushels, an increase of nearly 5 per cent
over June, and the largest for any month, since last
November. Exports for the first seven months of
this year are about 45 per cent less than for same
period of 1921. Receipts of wheat at the principal
markets totaled 39,534,000 bushels, compared to
20,997,000 bushels in June and 61,994,000 bushels
in July, 1921. Prices of wheat showed an increase
for No. 1 northern in July at Chicago but a slight
decline for red winter. Flour prices showed a corresponding fluctuation.
Exports of corn including meal amounted to
14,395,000 bushels in July, a marked increase over
the preceding two months. Exports of corn for the
seven months of 1922 have been about 63 per cent
greater than a year ago. Receipts at the principal
markets declined in July but shipments increased.
Grindings by starch and glucose manufacturers showed
a slight decline. The price of No. 2 corn at Chicago
advanced in July.
Exports of oats declined from the high mark
reached in June, but are still far above the average
per month. Exports so far this year, including meal,
have totaled 20,601,000 bushels, compared to only
3,888,000 in the same months of last year. This is
an increase of 430 per cent.
Exports of barley showed a large increase over
June and were the largest for any month since last
November. Exports of rye were much smaller than
in either May or June.
The total exports of all cereals in July were equal
to 43,438,000 bushels, or approximately the same as
in June. Measured in this way, our cereal exports
so far this year are 3 per cent less than a year ago.
The domestic movements of rice were all slightly
less than in June. Stocks showed a further decline.
827,966,000 pounds on August 1, 1922, compared to
861,636,000 a month before, and 922,059,000 pounds
at the same time last year. Both production and
consumption of pork killed under Federal inspection
increased in June compared to May. Prices of hogs
declined slightly in Chicago, according to our quotations, while fresh pork loins made a substantial increase.

Receipts, shipments, and slaughter of both cattle
and hogs showed material seasonal declines in July.
But in each instance the movement for July this year
is significantly greater than in the corresponding month
of last year. Exports of beef products totaled
15,281,000 pounds in July, a decline of about 5 per
cent below the June figure and less than in July last
year. Cold-storage holdings of beef also declined and
were only a little more than half as large as on August
1, 1921. Both the production and consumption of
beef products increased slightly in June, the latest
figures available. Prices of cattle and beef showed
substantial increases in July.

OTHER FOODSTUFFS.
The total landings of fish in July as reported by the
Bureau of Fisheries totaled 18,738,000 pounds, a substantial increase over recent months. Cold-storage
holdings of fish also increased.
Receipts of poultry at five markets were slightly
larger than in June, but cold-storage holdings declined, although still substantially above those of a
year ago. Receipts of eggs at five markets showed
the usual seasonal decline, but were above those of o
July last year. Eggs in storage on August 1 totaled
10,225,000 cases, compared to 7,605,000 cases on the
same date last year.
Exports of condensed and evaporated milk showed
a very heavy decline in July. The total of only
8,823,000 pounds is the smallest for any month since
before the war.
Cold storage holdings of butter and cheese showed
marked seasonal increases in July. The stocks of
both commodities are well above those held at this
time a year ago.
Meltings of raw sugar in July showed only a slight
decline from the high records attained in recent
months. Domestic stocks of raw increased during
the month. July exports of refined sugar were only a
little more than half as great as in June and were the
smallest for any month since last February. Receipts of raw at Cuban ports fell off in July as did the
export movement from Cuba. Cuban stocks continued to decline.

WATER TRANSPORTATION.
Traffic through the Panama Canal in June showed
a marked decline compared with April and May. To
a considerable extent this decline is seasonal. The
movement this year, however, is substantially larger
than for the corresponding month last year. Traffic
on the Sault Ste. Marie Canal increased over 2,000,000
tons in July and is approximately that much greater
than it was in July, 1921.
RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION.
There was a marked drop in the number of surplus
idle freight cars during July. The total number of
idle cars at the end of July was 174,927 compared
with 339,225 at the end of June, a decrease of 48 per
cent. Idle box cars decreased 64 per cent. There
was a corresponding increase in the number of cars
requested which could not be supplied. The shortage
of box cars at the end of July totaled 16,550, compared
to only 1,397 at the end of June.
The weekly average car loadings for July were
slightly lower than in June although considerably
higher than a year ago. The decrease compared with
June occurred chiefly in coal loadings although there
were smaller declines in live stock, forest products
and miscellaneous loadings.
Total operating railroad revenue for June amounted
to $473,785,000, which was a substantial increase over
the two preceding months. Operating expenses
totaled $363,984,000, the largest for any month of
this year. The net operating income in June
amounted to $76,594,000, which with the exception
of March, is the largest for any month this year.
The total net operating income for the six months
of this year shows an increase of 140 per cent over
the corresponding months of 1921.
The number of Pullman passengers carried in July
was less than in June, but greater than in preceding
months of this year.

COMBINED INDEX NUMBERS OF RAW MATERIAL PRODUCTION.
In the past four issues of the Survey of Current Business there have been published a series of index numbers designed to show the trend of production or
marketing of the chief classes of raw materials produced in the United States. These four classes of
products—minerals, animals, crops, and forestry—
are combined below in an index of the aggregate production of raw materials.
The year 1919 is used as a basis for this combined
index, as three out of the four separate indices were
compiled on that base. The mineral production index,
which was based on a five-year pre-war average (19091913), must be changed to a 1919 base* for this
purpose.
of Current Business, are the weights to be taken for
the year 1919.

For purposes of weighting, the value of each product
as reported by the census of 1919 has been taken, and
where the value of an individual product is not given
separately, the individual value has been arrived at
by prorating the combined total in accordance with
the proportionate values of these products as reported
by the Geological Survey for 1919. By this method, all
the items are weighted on a comparable base—the
value at the mine. Actual values reported by the
census and by the Geological Survey in 1919, together with weights used in the index, are shown
below:

RESULTS.
The large proportion which the crops bear of the
total raw materials—almost half the total value,
even after excluding large duplications with animal
values—is reflected in the total index number. The
year 1920, part of which was in a boom time, shows up
lower than 1919 in raw material marketings because
crop marketings were lower, while in 1921, when
mining and forestry were in a great depression, the
large marketing of crops raised the index number over
the 1919 base.

COMBINED INDEX.
To obtain proper weights to combine the four
groups the value of the marketable production in
1019 of each group was taken as a basis. For minerals, the total production was taken for this purpose.
For animals, the total production was arrived at by
adding to the products already used in the animal
index the production of a few animal products of
small value whose figures were not available monthly.
For crops the same figures as were used in the crop
index were taken, as the few marketable crops omitted
would have no appreciable effect on the total index.
For forestry, the total marketable production, as
stated in the description of the forestry index, was
taken.
The following table shows for each group of raw
materials the value of products (a) on which the
detailed indices were based (b) on the whole group,
including such large duplications as hay and grain fed
to animals, (c) on the marketable production, as well
as the final weights used:

The total raw material index is subject to seasonal
variation and again depends largely on the seasonal
movement of crops. From August through January
the index is usually above the yearly normal, while other
months are usually below. October is generally the high
point. The index for 1922 since January has shown an
increased output over each corresponding month of
1920, but for March, April and June, 1921, the index
numbers exceed those for the same months of this year.

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:
June, 1922.—This column gives the June figures corresponding to those for July shown in the next column—in other words, cover
the previous month, and in some cases, where indicated by a footnote, refer to the previous quarter; that is. ending March 31,
1922.
July, 1922.—In this column are given the figures covering the month of July, or, as in the case of stocks, etc., the situation on July
31 or August 1. In a few cases (usually where returns are reported quarterly only) the figures are for the quarter ending June 30
or the condition on that date. Where this column is left blank, no figures for July were available at the time of going to press
(September 7).
Corresponding month, June or July, 1921.—Thefiguresin this column present the situation exactly a year previous to those in the
"July, 1922, " column (that is, generally July, 1921), but where no figures were available for July, 1922, the June, 1921. figures
have been inserted in this column for comparison with the June, 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 seven months of the calendar years 1921 and 1922, respectively, except where the July, 1922, figures are lacking, in
which case the cumulative total for six months in each year is given1.
Percentage increase ( + ) or decrease ( —) cumulative 1922 from 1921.—This column shows the per cent by which the cumulated total for
the first seven months of 1922 is greater ( + ) or less ( —) than the total for the corresponding period of 1921.
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 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 decrease from one month to the next.
Percentage increase ( + ) or decrease ( —) July from June.—The last column shows the per cent increase or decrease of the figure for the
last month compared with the preceding month.
