PRELIMINARY SUMMARY FOR AUGUST
Commercial transactions for the first weeks of August, as reflected by bank debits, outside New York
City, were smaller than for the preceding period and
the corresponding number of weeks in 1929. The
value of new building contracts, although greater than
the preceding period, were lower than a year ago.
The activity of steel plants showed no change from
the last of July but was considerably lower than during
August last year. Detroit employment, reflecting the
automobile industry, showed declines from both comparative periods. Loans and discounts of Federal
Reserve member banks registered little change from
July, but were below the level of the end of August,
1929. Interest rates at the end of August on call
money were higher than July, while rates on time
money were less. Both rates were lower than a year
ago. Wholesale prices of commodities, as measured
by'Fisher's index, declined from the preceding month
11289—30
1
and were considerably lower than a year ago. Prices
for wheat and cotton declined while iron and steel
prices showed little change during the month.
Bond prices during August continued to rise and
showed gains over the preceding month and August
a year ago. Stock prices on the other hand showed
little difference from the previous month. Brokers'
loans at the end of August were lower than at the end
of July and a year ago. The Federal Reserve ratio
continued at about the same level as at the end of
July and was considerably above last year. Business
failures during August were less numerous than during the preceding month.
The production of lumber fell off when compared
with the month of August, 1929, as did bituminous
coal and crude petroleum output. Freight car loadings showed little change from July, but were lower
than last year.

MONTHLY BUSINESS INDICATORS
The principal business indicators are shown below, all calculated on a comparable basis, the average for the years 1923 to 1925,
inclusive. Thus the table gives a bird's-eye view of the business situation in a concise form, so that trends of the principal indicators
may be seen at a glance.
Certain indicators, in which there is a marked seasonal movement, are shown with the average seasonal variations eliminated,
as noted below. In this manner a more understanding month-to-month comparison may be made.

PRODUCTION
DISTRIBUTION
Industrial production in July, according to the
weighted index of the Federal Reserve Board, showed
a decline from both the preceding month and the
corresponding month in 1929. The output of manufactured commodities and minerals likewise declined
from both periods after adjustments for seasonal
variations were made. In manufacturing, declines
from June were registered in all major groups except
textiles which showed a gain. In the output of minerals all groups declined from both the preceding period
and the month of July, 1929.
Wholesale trade in July was generally lower than
during July, 1929, declines occurring in the sales of
groceries, dry goods, hardware, and drugs. For the
period of January 1 to July 31, 1930, the sales of dry
goods showed a decline of 20 per cent, hardware 14
per cent, and drugs 7 per cent from the corresponding
period a year ago. The sales of groceries during this
period, due to constant demand, showed only a small
loss when compared with the first seven months
of last year. Retail trade in July, as measured by
department-store sales in 265 cities, recorded a decline

equal to those of the preceding month, but when compared with the imports of July, 1929, a considerable
decline was noted.
Consumption of cotton by mills declined both from
June and from a year ago, exports and stocks showing
similar comparisons. For the first seven months of
the calendar year of 1930 consumption and exports
were considerably below the 1929 period. Ginning
Imports and deliveries of silk during July

INDEXES OF BUSINESS
The index numbers presented in this table are designed to show the trend in production, prices, trade,
etc., by commodities or groups. They consist in general of weighted combinations of series of individual relative
numbers; often the individual relative numbers are also given. The function of index and relative numbers
is explained on the inside front cover. All of the index numbers, except where noted, are based on the average
of the years 1923 to 1925, while maxima and minima are given only since 1923, thus eliminating the abnormal
period prior to 1923. Complete descriptions and figures for earlier years may be found in the following issues
of the Survey (later data being available in the latest semiannual issues): Production in the July, 1928, issue
(No. 83), pages 18 to 22; stocks in the August, 1928, issue (No. 84), pages 20 to 22; new orders in the September,
