1942 Supplement
to the Survey of Current Business
Foreword
The Biennial Supplement to the SURVEY of CURRENT BUSINESS presents the historical record
of the statistical series carried in the regular monthly issues of the SURVEY. It carries all
revisions of the data, many of which could not be shown in the monthly issues, and provides
complete descriptive notes explaining the precise coverage and import of each series and indicating where earlier revised data may be obtained.
This SUPPLEMENT shows monthly statistics for 4 years, 1938 throu^i 1941, and also annual
statistics, where available, ex tend ing, back to 1913. Comparable monthly figures prior to 1938
for virtually all series are available either from earlier SUPPLEMENTS (dated 1932, 1936, 1938,
and 1940) or from special tables in the monthly issues of the SURVEY. References to such data
are given for each series in the descriptive notes beginning on page 177. The 1940 and 1938
SUPPLEMENTS are available for purchase at the o f f i c e of the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing O f f i c e , Washington, D. C. The sale supplies of the 1932 and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS
are exhausted, but copies are available for reference in the numerous Government depository
libraries throughout the country.
The monthly issues of the SURVEY carry forward beyond 1941 the statistical series contained in this volume. In addition, prompt publication of the more important data is provided
by the Weekly Supplement to the SURVEY. Under present war conditions, however, it will be
necessary to suspend temporarily many of the series* Material of military significance can
not be published* Since production of many consumer cotimodities has been discontinued in whole
or in part, data relating to a number of such commodities will likewise be dropped* Ihe series
that will be temporarily omitted in current issues of the SURVEY include all detailed foreign
trade statistics, indexes of production, employment, and pay rolls in war industries, and data
for metals, rubber, and other commodities related to war production.
Ihe r e g u l a r monthly issues of the SURVEY contain, in addition to current data for the
statistical series, a review of economic trends and analyses of relevant subjects in the form
of special articles.
The continuing cooperation o f the various agencies, listed on pages 261 and 262, which
supply the statistical data contained in the SURVEY is gratefully acknowledged.
The preparation of tables with the descriptive notes contained in this 1942 SUPPLEMENT
was under the immediate supervision of Martha H. Porter of the Division of Research and Statistics*

Division of Research and Statistics,

Footnotes on Time Series
Page 6
•* Compiled by the U, S. Department of Commerce, bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce. The series presented here represent a revision of the data which were published in the 1940
SUPPLEMENT. The latest revision was occasioned principally by
the adjustment of the monthly data to the Bureau's preliminary
annual estimate of national income for 1941 and the revised annual estimates for earlier years. The revisions included also
two changes in concept: (1) Entrepreneurial income was substituted for entrepreneurial withdrawals, the former distinction
between entrepreneurial withdrawals and entrepreneurial savings
being abandoned; and (2) the value of changes in agricultural
inventories was incorporated as a component of agricultural net
income. Although the method of adjusting the indexes has been
altered, the end result has not been materially changed. Also
the indexes have been shifted to a 1935-39 base. Monthly data
for the years 1929-37 are available on request.
For apportioning the annual estimates on a monthly basis and
for maintaining the series currently, a wide variety of monthly
figures and indexes, prepared by governmental and nongovernmental
agencies, are employed. Monthly reports of the U. S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Interstate Commerce Commission, Work Projects
Administration, Social Security Board, and other agencies, and
since January 1940, quarterly estimates of salaries of noneducational employees of State arid local governments prepared by
the Bureau of the Census, were used in making estimates of the
compensation of employees. The Journal of Commerce series of
dividends and interest paid were used for these items. Rental
data of the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the National
Industrial Conference Board were used for estimating net rents
and royalties. Entrepreneurial income was based largely on data
from the U. S. Bureau olF Agricultural Economics and on pay-roll
trends and monthly indexes of average earnings.
The paucity of source material does not permit equally satisfactory results for all groups and necessitates the use of indirect
means of deriving estimates in many fields. Estimates of salaries and wages are prepared individually for industries which account for over 85 percent of total salary and wage payments.
However, the coverage of the available material varies widely
among the industries which are included. Satisfactory monthly
trends arc available for wages in the mining and manufacturing
industries and for total pay rolls in contract construction,
agriculture, trade, communications, electric power and manufactured gas, certain branches of the finance and service industries,
steam and electric railroads, and for governmental pay rolls,
and work-relief wages. For other industries no direct information on monthly pay rolls is available and recourse must be had
to related series which can in many instances be checked by reference to periodic censuses. Satisfactory data on relief and
social insurance benefits are supplied monthly by the Social
Security Board.
The series on dividends and interest is believed to reflect
month-to-month changes in this type of disbursement wivth a fair
degree of accuracy. As a component of consumer income, the value of the series is limited since a large proportion of this
type of income flows directly into the hands of institutional
investors where it is not immediately available to ultimate consumers.
Agriculture is the only field in which it is possible to obtain satisfactory cur rent indicators of the month-to-month
changes in entrepreneurial income. Moreover, estimates of monthly income from rents and royalties must be based upon scanty information and rather broad assumptions.
A bulletin has been prepared by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce entitled "Monthly Income Payments in the United
States, 1929-40" which describes in greater detail the sources
and methods used in compiling the series.
2
The seasonally adjusted monthly indexes have been constructed by first computing seasonally adjusted dollar figures for
total income, total salaries and wages, and total nonagricultural income and reducing these adjusted dollar figures to a 193539 index base. The data shown as "monthly averages" are annual
indexes computed from annual dollar totals.
In the computation ol the seasonally adjusted dollar figures
for salaries and wages, separate seasonal indexes were worked
out and applied to the dollar figures for the following components: Durable goods and nondurable goods manufacturing industries, except for 1941 as stated below; the major components of
the mining industries; Federally sponsored construction activity
and non-Federal contract construction; agricultural wages; retail and wholesale trade; railroad pay rolls; combined pay rolls
491208 O - 42 - 12
for other transportation and electric light and power; salaries
and wages of persons engaged in public education and of aJl
other government employees; and work-relief wages. In other
industries either the seasonal fluctuations in employment and
pay rolls are minor in character or no adequate current information is available on payrolls. Dollar figures without adjustment for these industries are combined with the adjusted dollar
figures for the seasonally corrected components to obtain seasonally adjusted figures for all salaries and wages,
Of the non-wage items, seasonally adjusted data are computed
only for dividends and interest, the agricultural component of
the entrepreneurial income scries, and direct relief payments.
The ratio-to-moving~averagc method of seasonal adjustment has
been used except for dividends and interest and agricultural
income. In most instances separate indexes of seasonal variations were computed for the 1929-33 and the 1934-40 periods.
For dividends and interest and government benefit payments to
farmers, a smoothing process, essentially a 12-month moving
average, is used. The net income of farm operators is adjusted
on the basis of indexes supplied by the Department of Agriculture.
In 1941 it was necessary to modify the seasonal adjustments,
since normal seasonal patterns no longer prevail in many industries. Seasonal indexes were fixed at 100 beginning January
1941 for the metals and metal products industries other than
automobiles (beginning September 1941 for the automobile industry) and for a group of nondurable goods industries in which
wage trends were markedly out of line with usual seasonal patterns. For these groups, the unadjusted figures were carried
over without adjustment into the computation of the seasonally
adjusted indexes. Separate seasonal indexes were computed to
adjust data for other durable goods and other nondurable goods
industries beginning January 1941 and for the automobile industry for the January-August 1941 period.

War veterans on their adjusted service certificates and, beginning July 1936, adjusted service certificate payments less
prior loans are included. These latter itetrs account for the
sharp rise in this type of income in 1931 and 1936. Loans and
payments to veterans on their adjusted service certificates were
carried as a separate item in an earlier series (cf. October
1938 SURVEY).

Computed by the V, S. Depart/Dent of Agriculture, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, for the purpose of measuring the cash income derived by farmers from the sale of farm products. The indexes are based on estimates of monthly cash income from all marketings, and do not include Government rental and benefit payments.
178
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Estimates of monthly cash income are derived from estimated
monthly marketings of farm commodities and the farm prices of
these commodities. Certain adjustments have been made in the
basic marketing data, and when so adjusted the estimates of income measure the total income from crops and from livestock and
livestock products.
In adjusting the series for seasonal variations each commodity
is adjusted separately by the "ratio-to-moving-average" method.
Shifting seasonal factors are used for those commodities in
which there has been a definite change in the time of marketing.
This gradually changing seasonal adjustment corrects for the
growing tendency in recent years for farmers to market many of
their farm products earlier than was formerly the case. This
tendency has been particularly pronounced in the movement of
wheat, cotton, and tobacco from farms.
Data shown as "monthly averages" are annual indexes based on
annual estimates which include, for years prior to 1940, revisions which have not as yet been extended to the monthly estimates of cash farm income from marketings upon which the monthly
indexes are based; the annual indexes may also differ from the
averages of the seasonally adjusted monthly indexes because of
the method of seasonal correction used. Monthly data for 1936
and 1937 are available in the 1940 SUPPLEUENT; no comparable
monthly data are available prior to 1936.
A more complete description of the monthly indexes may be obtained from the April 1940 Department of Agriculture release entitled "U. S. Monthly Estimates of Cash Income from Farm Marketings and Government Payments, January 1936 to January 1939."
Compiled by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, Division of Research and Statistics, based on 85 individual monthly series directly representing all principal groups
of industries in manufacturing and mining. The index presented
here represents a complete revision of the data shown in the 1940
SUPPLEMENT and is designed to provide a broader and more accurate measure of current changes in the physical volume of industrial output. Many new series were developed to obtain coverage
in important industries not previously represented, particularly
the machinery, rayon textile, manufactured food, chemical, and
armament industries. In addition, a number of individual series,
such as those on production of lumber and paper, were replaced by
new scries or were extensively revised. The exceptional volume
of output under the defense program necessitated the addition
of data for production at Government arsenals, quartermaster depots, and shipyards.
Some of the series are based on actual-units of physical production, or volume of consumption or shipments of materials;
others, covering industries for which units of volume are not
available, represent production estimates based on man-hours or
machinery activity adjusted, respectively, for changes in output per man-hour and for long-term changes in machinery efficiency as indicated by Census or other bench-mark data. Each
series is adjusted for differences in the number of working days
in the month, where necessary, and is then converted into relatives in terms of the average of the base period 1935-39 as 100.
Data shown as "monthly averages "are in many cases based on annual data. In constructing the seasonally adjusted indexes, the
relatives for each series are adjusted for seasonal variations
by the ratio-to-freehand curve method which was discussed at
length in the Federal Reserve Bulletin for June 1941. The seasonal factors reflect changes from time to time in the seasonal
pattern.
Because recent conditions have obliterated seasonal movements
in many industries, the seasonal factors have been fixed at 100
for the following series beginning with the month indicated:
aircraft, January 1939; machinery, October 1940; cotton consumption and zinc mining, November 1940; nonferrous metals, most
components, November or December 1940; iron and steel, railroad
cars, locomotives, shipbuilding, rayon, wool textiles, and coke,
December 1940; rubber consumption under rubber products, July
1941; silk, August 1941; the two automobile series, September
1941.
In compiling the composite indexes (both adjusted and unadjusted for seasonal variations) for industries, groups of industries, and for industrial production as a whole, the individual
series are weighted according to their relative importance as
measured by the value added by manufacture shown in the Census
of Manufactures and by the value of production for minerals
shown in the Minerals Yearbook. In order to give representation
to manufacruring industries for which no monthly data are available, many series used were weighted not only according to their
own relative importance, but also to some extent for other closely
related industries.
To allow for shifts in the relative importance of the various
industries since 1923, weights derived from data for 1923 and
from data for 1937 were used respectively in computing composite
indexes for the period 1923 to 1929 and for the period 1929 to
date, composites for 1929 being thus obtained with both 1923 and
1937 weights.
Indexes with 1923 weights were then chained to
the indexes with 1937 weights for extending the series back to
1923. For the years 1919 to 1922, figures from the old index
on a 1923-25 base were chained to the new scries.
Monthly indexes for 1919-37 for industrial production (combined index), manufactures, durable goods, and nondurable goods
and for 1936 and 1937 for iron and steel, transportation equipment, aircraft, automobile bodies, parts, and assembly and nonferrous metals are shown in table 24, pp. 24 and 25 of the September 1941 SUUVSY; monthly indexes for 1936 and 1937 for other
industrial groups and industries (with the exception of zinc
and the combined indexes for minerals and metals) are available
in table 31, pp. 14-17, of the August 1941 SURVEY. A complete
description of the indexes, together with monthly data for all
series from the earliest date available are presented in a publication entitled "New Federal Reserve Index of Industrial Production," issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, based on a sample of approximately 1,200 reporting firms which account for nelarly 40 percent
of total manufacturing.
The index of new orders received by manufacturers includes
the shipment figures of companies which specifically state that
they fill orders promptly upon receipt,' and the new order
figures reported by companies which do not fill orders as received. Dollar values of new orders and shipments reported
are on a net basis, i.e., total new orders less cancellations
and shipments less discounts, returns, allowances, etc. Aircraft, automobiles, and shipbuilding are not directly represented in the new orders index.
The index of manufacturers' shipments does not measure changes
in the net flow of goods from manufacturing industry as a whole,
since shipments from one manufacturer to another are necessarily
included in the total. The net movement can be approximated
only by considering the shipment figures in relation to changes
in the inventory index.
In evaluating movements in the inventory index, two points
should be kept in mind. First, the inventory index has a rather
narrow range of variation from month to month, because stocks
on hand at any one time are much larger than a month's output.
Hence, a sizable change in a production or shipment index resulting entirely from an inventory movement will be reflected
by a rather small change in the inventory index. Second, since
the index series measure dollar value rather than quantity
aggregates, price as well as quantity fluctuations influence
the movement of the indexes. However, inventory value reacts
more quickly to changes in quantity than to changes in the price
level.
The indexes for total manufacturing, total durable, and nondurable goods industries are weighted aggregates of the indexes
computed for the major industry groups. The series on new orders was weighted according to value of product for each industry group in the 1937 Census of Manufactures, with necessary
adjustments in industry group weights to approximate the relative importance of the various industries in the base month of
the index series, January 1939.
The index was computed on a
daily average basis excluding Sundays and six holidays. The
shipments indexes are adjusted throughout to value of shipments calculated for all industrial groups from the 1939 Census
of Manufactures, Composite indexes were derived from component
industrial group indexes by weighting the latter according to
the proportion of the relevant shipment total contributed by
each group in 1939.
The index was placed on a daily average
basis excluding Sundays and principal holidays,
Indexes of inventories, as of the end of the month, were computed using average monthly inventory values in 1939 as bases.
Census of Manufactures data for 1939 were used as benchmarks
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
in arriving at the base vaiue figures. Since all plants reporting to the Census do not report inventories, the Census
data were adjusted to include those not reporting. Statistics
of income data from the Bureau of Internal Revenue were used
as a base for the rubber, petroleum, and tobacco sub-groups,
a more complete coverage for these industries being obtained
thereby. Composite indexes were derived from component industrial group indexes by weighting the latter according to the
proportion of the relevant inventory total held by each group
in the average 1939 month.
For a more detailed description of the series see pp. 7-12 of
the September 1940 SURVEY. The shipments and inventories indexes have been completely revised since that issue of the
SURVEY, but the methods followed in the revision are essentially
the same as those used in deriving the original series. A more
complete coverage was attained by the inclusion of all late and
revised schedules sent in by manufacturers together with back
data received from new cooperators. In addition, the base period
was broadened to cover the full year 1939 and the weights for the
component indexes correspondingly improved.

The base was obtained by averaging the inventory values at
the beginning (end of preceeding) and end of each month id 1939
and them computing an average of the 12 monthly figures; the
"average month" used as the base, therefore, differs slightly
from the average of the 12 month-end figures for 1939 shown in
the table.

Compiled by the National Industrial Conference Board to
show the trend of living costs of wage-earners* families in urban
communities. The indexes given for 1914, 1915, 1916, and 1917
are as of July of each year; 1918 figures are an average of the
2 months June and November; 1919, of the 3 months March, July,
and November; thereafter, the annual data are averages of 12
monthly figures. Up to March 1922, the prices used are as of
the 1st of the month except for food, which is based on the retail food index of the U. S. Department of Labor for the 15th
of the month. Subsequently, all prices are as of the 15th (or
approximately the 15th) of the month indicated. From August 1933
to January 1935 the Department of Labor computed its index on a
biweekly basis, and for the purposes of the Conference Board
the index nearest the 15th was used, excepting those months when
two reporting periods were about equidistant from the 15tht when
an average of the two was used. Beginning January 1935, the index of retail cost of food was revised by the Department of Labor occasioning the revision by the Conference Board of the combined index, and the computation of the food index was made as
of the Tuesday nearest the 15th of each month. Since June 1941,
the food index is a composite of the Conference Board's indexes for 56 cities, combined on the basis of population weights.
Prices of 44 items of food are collected by the Board as of the
15th of each month.
The index is based on a representative list of retail prices
and rejits with the number of cities in which prices are collected varying for the different items (for recent years, clothing,
93 cities; food, 51-56; fuel and light —coal, 95; gas and electricity, 174; and housing, 173). The combined index is an arithmetic average of weighted relatives, using the 1923 average as
the base. The weights are based on postwar household expenditures of wage-earners* families, as determined from studies made
in several different cities by various agencies, extending over
the period 1921-29.
For the five classifications in the index the weights are:
foods, 33; housing, 20;; clothing, 12; fuel and light, 5; and
sundries, 30. In the last group, household furnishings and
reading materials are given the heaviest weights ( . percent
54
each), recreation is weighted 4.2 percent, and tobacco, 3.6 percent. Other items included in the miscellaneous grcup are
organization dues, medical care, carfare, drugs and toilet
articles, and candy.
For all the groups except housing, the individual items contained in each group are weighted according to consumption, as
indicated by the composite results of the family budget studies.
For housing, the index is based on the average rents of houses
and apartments of the kind occupied by wage earners (4 or 5 rooms,
with bath, unheated, except in a few instances where heated
apartments are the prevailing type). The basic data are obtained
from real estate boards, Chambers of Commerce, real estate agents,
social agencies, and individuals who are in close touch with the
rental situation in their localities.

In the collection of price data and the computation of indexes, the Conference Board does not us£ a uniform procedure
throughout but employs several methods. A detailed description
of this index, together with monthly data for earlier years, is
presented in "The Cost of Living in the United States, 1914-36,"
pp. 13-42, published by the National Industrial Conference Board.
Revised monthly data for 1935-37 for the combined index and for
food are available in table 5, p. 18, of the January 1941 SURVEY;
earlier monthly data for these series and monthly data prior to
1938 for other groups are shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS
and on pp. 19-20 of the December 1936 SURVEY.

Compiled by the V, S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, to measure the change in the cost of the goods purchased at retail and services used by families of wage earners
and lower-salaried workers in large cities. From the beginning
of 1935 through December 1939, the indexes were computed from
price data for 33 large cities; in 1940, one city was added, making a total of 34 large cities now covered. Food cost indexes
are computed monthly for 51 large cities. During 1935 prices
for other goods and services were collected in March, July, and
October, during 1936 in January, April, September, and December,
and since then they have been collected quarterly. In October
1940, the Bureau began computing monthly indexes ©f total living
costs for 20 cities (since October, 1941 for 21 cities) based on
a more limited list of items than are priced quarterly, except
for foods and fuel for which the full list of items is priced
each month (food in 51 cities and coal, gas, and electricity in
34 cities). These monthly indexes are linked to the quarterly
indexes and are subject to revision after each quarterly pricing
period. All prices are taken as of the middle of the month.
Estimated all-items indexes for the intervening months between
pricing periods prior to September 1940 have been made from food,
coal, electricity, and gas prices and assuming an even rate of
change in Hie cost of all other groups between quarters.
Since 1935 the index has covered price changes for about 200
commodities and services customarily purchased by moderateincome families (with more than one quality for more important
items). Rents are collected for all types of dwellings occupied
by wage earners and lower-salaried workers. The food cost indexes currently compiled include 54 foods. With the exception
of the experimental list of foods used in 1935-39, the present
food cost index includes a greater number of items than any earlier food cost index computed by the Bureau. As compared with
the indexes prior to 1935, the most notable difference is the
increase in the number of fresh fruits and vegetables priced.
In 1935( the pricing of children's clothing was virtually eliminated as it was found that prices of children's clothes follow
very closely the movement of adults' clothing of similar type.
The rent sample was systematically revised to give representation
to each rental range and type of dwelling, proportional to that
obtaining in the entire city. Fuel oil, briquettes and ice were
added to the fuel group. Radios, light bulbs, washing machines,
vacuum cleaners, and electric refrigerators, which were not included in the housefurnishings group before 1935, now form almost 40 percent of the weight in that group. In 1935 automobiles
and items necessary for their operation and upkeep were included
in the miscellaneous group index and comprise almost one-fifth
of the group. The miscellaneous group, in addition to transportation, includes medical care, household operation, movies, tobacco products, and personal services.
The war program and the consequent shortage of goods has made
it necessary to adjust the cost-of-living index to take account
of rationing and the disappearance from the market of some goods
formerly purchased by families of wage earners and low-salaried
workers. In January 1942, new automobiles and new tires were
dropped from the index. Used automobiles and used, recapped,
and retreaded tires were added, with weights representing the
best available estimates of the extent to which they were being
purchased in January and February. The relative importance of
automobile repairs and public transportation costs was increased
in computing the index. Further changes in consumer purchasing
habits will be reflected in the construction of the cost-of-living
index.
The weights used to combine price ratios for the individual
goods and services into subgroups by cities represent the relative importance of each of the goods and services in the actual
spending of moderate-income families in each city as determined
by the Bureau's survey of family expenditures in the period 103436. The weights differ from city to city, except for clothing
and house furnishings for which weights were derived from expenditures by regions. They were computed so as to represent all
goods and services classified in each group rather than only the
items priced. Aggregate costs are computed for each group of
items in each city for each pricing period and the group cost
added to obtain the all-items cost for the city. These costs
are then related to the costs in the base period, 1935-39, to

obtain the indexes. The individual city group costs are combined into a 11-cities averages with weights based on the 1930
population of the given metropolitan area and other cities in
the same region and size class. The resulting average costs
are then related to similar average weighted costs in the base
period 1935-39 to obtain the indexes shown in the above table.
In the combined index for 33 cities in 1935-39, food averaged
33.9 percent; clothing, 10.5 percent; rent, 18.1; fuel, electricity and ice, 6.4; housefurnishings, 4.2; and miscellaneous,
26. 9 percent of the all-items indexes. These percentages change
from period to period because prices in the different groups
increase or decrease at different rates. A complete series, beginning in 1913, has been obtained by linking the original costof-living index series, based on a smaller number of commodities and cities, to the current index series which began in 1935.
Annual average food indexes have been computed by averaging the
monthly indexes for each year. Annual averages for other groups
are secured by obtaining a weighted averagd of the c6st of those
groups at each pricing period affecting the year, taking into
consideration the indexes for the last period of the preceding
year and the first period of the following year.
For a more complete description of the indexes and data for
individual cities, see pp. 367*404 of the August 1940 issue of
the Monthly Labor Review of the tf. S. Department of Labor or
the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin 699 entitled
"Changes in Cost of Living in Large Cities in the United States,
1913-41." Data for all pricing periods for all items except
food appear in table 19, p. 18 of the May 1941 SURVEY. Monthly
data beginning in 1923 for the food index, which was formerly
shown in the SURVEY under retail prices, appear in table 51, p.
18, of the November 1940 SURVEY; earlier monthly data beginning
in 1913 are available upon request. Estimated monthly data for
the combined index beginning in 1913 are also available upon request.

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, to indicate the variations in the prices
received by farmers for farm products marketed. The prices, as
collected by the Department of Agriculture, are those received
by farmers at local markets throughout the country. The indexes
are as of the 15th of each month.
The series includes 34 major farm products and 13 commercial
truck crops. The 47 commodities included are grouped as follows: Grains, 6; meat animals, 5; dairy products, 4; chickens
and eggs, 2; fruits, 5; truck crops, 13; cotton and cottonseed,
2; and miscellaneous, 10. The index numbers for each group of
commodities are weighted in proportion to that group's contribution
to total cash farm income. The 7 specific groups included in the
general series ar*4 an eighth miscellaneous group are combined
to form the general series by giving each group a weight in proportion to its contribution to cash farm income from agricultural products in the period 1924-29. For the 8 groups, the weights
used are as follows: Chickens and eggs, 8; cotton and cottonseed,
15; dairy products, 15; fruits, 6; grains, 15; meat animals, 25;
truck crops, 3; and miscellaneous, 13. Data for truck crops are
first available for the year 1924 and are included as a separate
item in the total index since that date. The 1924-29 average
for truck crops was computed equal to 100; the average was then
raised to the level of the index of all groups for the same period. Prior to the inclusion of truck crops as a separate item,
the miscellaneous group had a weight of 16 in the total index.
The truck crop index as constructed is adjusted for seasonal
variation in that the index for any month is a percentage of the
6 corresponding months in the base period. Other series are not
seasonally adjusted. The index for meat animals has been revised, the State prices now being weighted according to the volume of marketings from each State instead of the estimated number
of animals on farms as of January 1 in each State, as formerly,
to obtain the United States average.
Monthly data for 1926-37 appear in the 1940, 1938, and 1936
SUPPLEMENTS and on p. 20 of the November 1934 issue of the SURVEY,
except for revisions in monthly figures for 1935-37 for truck
crops and for all years prior to 1937 for meat animals, which
are available on request. For earlier monthly figures back to
1910 and for a complete description of the index numbers, consult "Index Numbers of Prices Received by Farmers for Farm Products, 1910 to 1934," a mimeographed report of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Computed by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, and represent retail prices, as of the 15th of the
indicated month, for Pennsylvania anthracite, white ash, chestnut
size, in 25 cities, and bituminous coal, various sizes, in 38
cities through March 1940, 37 cities for June-October 1940, 36
cities for November 1940, and in 35 cities thereafter. Monthly
data on the present basis are available from January 1929 to July
1935 when quarterly collections of data were initiated with January, April, July, and October selected as the months for pricing.
In September 1936 the representative month for each quarter was
shifted to March, June, September, and December. Since September 1940 prices are collected monthly. Prices are for curb delivery of the kind of coal sold to wage earners. Extra charges
for handling are not included.
For the anthracite series, the weights used in combining the
prices are based upon the distribution by rail and tidewater to
each city during the 12-month period from August 1, 1935 to July
31, 1936. These are shown on p. 19 of the October 1936 "Retail
Price Bulletin," published by the U. S. Department of Labor.
Indexes of the retail price of bituminous coal represent the unweighted average of prices in the number of cities noted above*
A series based on weighted average prices is being developed by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics and will be presented in the
SURVEY when available. Price averages for the period October 1922
to September 1925, inclusive, are taken as 100 for both series,
the last quarter of 1922 being substituted for the last quarter
of 1925 to eliminate the abnormally high prices which resulted
from the 1925-26 strike in the Pennsylvania anthracite, mines.
Earlier monthly data appear in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS
and in table 44, p. 20 of the October 1937 SURVEY.

Compiled by Fairchild Publications, and represents prices
collected as of the 1st of each month on 105 nonstyle items
(foods are excluded) from 49 retail-trade organizations, including independent and chain department stores, mail-order
organizations, and specialty stores. Thirty-two cities are
represented by the stores reporting, exclusive of the mail-order
and chain-store concerns, which represent a larger number of
cities as they are national in character. The number of stores
represented has not been reported.
In computing the index an aggregate price for each item is
first obtained. Quotations from each organization are totaled
into subgroups for all the stores. These in turn are related
to those of the base period, January 3, 1931 (December 31, 1930
as carried in the SURVEY). To obtain the group and the composite
indexes, the relatives are then weighted according to their average relative importance as determined by the amount of business
done each year in a representative group of stores. The weights
are changed from year to year.
Figures are available monthly from January 1931 forward. Note
that the figures given for each month are those reported by the
compilers for the first of the following month; that is, the
January figure published here is actually reported for February
1; thus, the base index of January 3, 1931, is here given as
December 31, 1930.
Earlier monthly data appear in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS and on p. 19 of the December 1932 issue of the SURVEY. In
addition to the group indexes here shown, the original reports
also include indexes for 26 subgroups.

Computed by the U, S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The indexes are based on prices secured weekly (in
most cases), and weighted according to the importance of each
article in the country's markets. The number of commodities
covered by the index has changed from time to time but the indexes are so constructed as to be comparable throughout the entire period. From January 1926 through December 1937, 784 individual price series were included in the index. The number
of series included was gradually increased to 889 by January
1941. Prior to 1926 a smaller number of commodities was covered.
The 889 items are grouped into 10 major classifications, and
also into certain economic classes. In addition, indexes are
computed for the group designated **A11 commodities other than
farm products, " representing in general the movement of nonagricultural commodities and processed foods, and for the group
"All commodities other than farm products and foods," which reflects the trend in prices of industrial commodities. In computing the indexes for the 10 commodity groups, articles falling
under more than one of the classifications adopted are included
under each classification, but in the combined index for all
commodities, such articles are counted only once, thereby avoiding duplication in the final result.

Compiled by the F. ff. Dodge Corporation from verified field
reports of individual project contracts in the 37 States (including small towns and rural districts as well as large cities)
east of the Rocky Mountains.
Data include new construction, addition, and alteration projects,
the minimum cost of which varies from $5,000 in earlier years
to as low as $2,000 in most years since 1929 (in 1932 the minimum
was $1,000 and in 1933 and 1934, $500). No maintenance work is
included. A negligible volume of farm building construction is
included. Force-account work is generally included, except
when executed with mass-purchased materials not earmarked for
specific projects at time of purchase. The percentage of all
contract construction represented by the F. W. Dodge Corporation
coverage is not known. Of the total volume of all construction
in the United States, including new, work-relief, and maintenance
(both contract and force-account), as estimated by the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce since 1929, these itemized
data for the 37 States represented about two-fifths in the period
1929-31 and in recent years, but in the years 1932-38 the percentage was about one-third, owing to the large amount of forceaccount government work during this period. Of the total volume
of new construction (both contract and force-account), as estimated by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, the F. W,
Dodge Corporation's 37-State recorded total represented from
50 to 55 percent for the years 1929-35, and nearly 60 percent
since then.
The comparability of the figures for number of residential
building projects and total projects is seriously affected be
tween 1936 and 1937 by a change in the method of counting residential projects. Beginning with 1937, data for residential projects represent the number of individual buildings, each house
or apartment building in a housing development or project being
counted separately. The earlier data represent the actual number
of projects whether a project covered a single building or a group
of buildings.
Monthly averages for 1937 comparable with the
earlier data shown in italics are as follows: Total number of
projects, 12,039; number pf residential projects, 7,614.
Some minor changes were made in project classification beginning
in 1937. Floor area and valuation figures for the affected
series (total and miscellaneous, nonresidental building, educational and science and social and recreational buildings, public
works and utilities) have been revised back to 1925. Data on
number of projects have not been revised but the differences are
not sufficient to seriously affect the comparability of the series
involved.

As far as possible quotations for the various commodities are
secured at their primary markets and are based on first-hand
transactions. Although weekly prices are used in most cases,
commodities with fairly stable prices, such as furniture and
certain building materials, are taken as of the first of the
month. The average price for the year for a given commodity
is obtained by dividing the sum of the quotations for the year
by the number of quotations.

In Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin No. 572, p. 14, annual
indexes back to 1801 are given. Although this series prior to
1890 is derived by linking together several indexes that are not

the long-term trends of wholesale prices.

Computed by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
from indexes compiled by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics and the V. S. Department of Agriculture,
Bureau of Agricultural Economics. For the index in teirms of
wholesale prices, The Department of Labor's series on purchasing
power of the wholesale-price dollar was converted from a 1926 to
a 1935-39 base. The other series were obtained by taking the
reciprocals of the Department of Labor's index of cost of living
and index of retail food prices and the Department of Agriculture's
index of prices received by farmers, and converting the reciprocals to relatives with the 1935-39 average as the base; the
original indexes from which these series were computed are shown
on pp. 16 and 17. Monthly data for years prior to 1938 are

The data for floor area as published by the F.W. Dodge Corporation

^ Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The indexes are based on cities varying in number
from 257 in 1929 to approximately 3,000 in 1941. Prior to 1933,
only cities with populations of 25,000 or more were included;
in 1933 the 10,000-25,000 population group was added; in 1936
cities having a population of 2,500 or more were included; and
beginning 1938, a small group having populations of from 1,000
to 2,500 was added. The reports are received from all cities
with a population of 50,000 or more. The completeness of coverage
of the remaining cities decreases directly with the size of the
city.
The indexes are derived by the link relative method to overcome
the limitations of a shifting sample.
Except for the shift in base from 1929 = 100 to 1935-39 = 100
and the inclusion in the basic data of reports for delinquent
cities for the year 1940, the series are the same as those
published in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and monthly issues of the SURVEY
through December 1941. Monthly figures beginning September 1929
are shown in table 8, p. 18 of the March 1942 SURVEY, Basic data
from which the indexes are derived appear in "Building Construction", a publication of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Compiled by the U. S, Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics. These estimates represent the total number of new
housekeeping dwelling units upon which construction was started
in all urban areas. The basic data used are the building permit
reports received from ci ties and towns having a population of
2,500 or over, the number of cities reporting varying from 1,500
in 1936 to 2,400 at the end of 1941. Beginning with 1940, places
of this size as indicated by the 1940 Census of Population are
included. Data for years prior to 1940 are based on urban areas
as defined by the 1930 Census of Population.
Reports are received from all cities having a population of
50,000 or over. The cities of 25,000 to 50,000 population
reporting in 1941 included 97 percent of the total population
of all cities of this size. For cities of 10,000 to 25,000 the
corresponding coverage fig jre was 86 percent; for cities of 5,000
to 10,000 it was more than 60 percent, and for cities of 2,500
to 5,000 it was 50 percent.
The aggregate urban coverage at
the end of 1941 was over 90 percent, having increased from
about 88 percent in 1936.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has made a preliminary revision
in the estimates of new urban dwelling units for years prior to
1940 to cover urban area^t as defined by results of the 1940
Census,
However, the revised data are not as yet available in
detail and revisions will not be completed until final data
are available from the 1940 Census of Housing to which the
Bureau's data will be adjusted. The preliminary revised estimates
of new urban dwelling unit 3, 1936-39, covering areas included in
the urban classification in the 1940 Census, comparable with
data for 1940 and 1941 here shown are as follows: 1936, 211.000;
1937, 218,000; 1938, 262 000; 1939, 359,000. For a further
discussion of revision^ in the d a t a and preliminary annual
estimates back to 1920 c f new dwelling units in all nonfarm
areas, including rural non arm as well as urban, see the Monthly
Labor Review for AprH ant May 1942,
The method employe;;': .a c imating the number of family-dwelling
units provided in the poj ilation groups, where the coverage is
incomplete, is detailed ir the Monthly Labor Review for January
1938.
Data on a quarterly bas: s for 1936 and 1937 are shown in the
1940 SUPPLEMENT.
When the revision of the data referred to
above is completed, the revised series will be published in a
monthly issue of the SURVEY.
Actual data for the number of new family-dwell ing units have
been compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics from building
permit reports for a varying number of cities beginning with 1921
and are published in the following reports: "Building Permits
in Principal Cities in the United States," "Building Construction," and the '"Monthly Labor Review*'.

Data are compiled by the Engineering News-Record and represent heavy engineer in? construction contracts awarded for
public (Federal, State, and municipal) and private projects,
The published figures, however, do not represent the value of
all contracts let, but those above a certain amount. According
to the compilers they pr ibably account for 60 percent of the
total new construction market other than small residential.
Larger housing projects, both public and private, apartments
and hotels arc included. Maintenance and operation expenditures
are not included.
The minimum cost of construction projects
included is as follows: For waterworks, excavation, drainage,
and irrigation—1913 through June 1932 and January 1937 to date,
$15,000; July 1932 through December 1935, $10,500; January 1935
through December 1936, $ 4 0 0 Other public works (not specified
1,0.
above)—1913 through June 1932 and January 1937 to date, $25,000;
July 1932 through December 1935, $17,500; January through December 1936, $23,000. Industrial buildings—1913 through June
1932 and January 1937 to date, $40,000; July 1932 through December 1935, $28,000; January through December 1936, $37,000.
Other buildings—1913 through June 1932 and January 1937 to date,
$150,000; July 1932 through December 1935, $105,000; January
through December 1936, $140,000, The reports of the Engineering
News-Record show in addition to total awards a breakdown by
classes of construction and each class by States and geographic
divisions. Weekly data are also available.
Note that these monthly totals are combinations of 4- and 5week periods.
The reporting week ends on Tuesday, but in computing the 4- and 5-week totals given in this volume, the compilers have combined the weekly figures on the basis of the
weeks ended on Thursday within the month. This results in some
slight distortion in the figures for certain months,
Monthly data for 1923-37 are available in the 1Q40, 1938,
1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS (revisions for 1931-July, $223,248,000;

Compiled by the Portland Cement Association, Chicago, and
represent the yardage of concrete pavement awards for roads,
streets and alleys, and airports in Continental United States.
Annual averages shown here are based on annual totals published
by the Association in the "Cement and Concrete Reference Book.'*
Monthlydata are from the Association's monthly reports. Totals
of the monthly data differ in some years from the annual totals.
The discrepancies arise from the fact that at the end of the
year the Association's district offices adjust their totals to
show the yardage actually awarded. Adjustments are made to exclude projects which were awarded during the year but were later
rescinded and to increase or decrease the yardage where some
change has been made after the initial award; also to include
data for some States not included in the monthly figures. The
month-to-month reports are received only from the States in
which the Association has district offices. Data from the other
States are obtained once a year or, at the most, twice a year and
are not allocable by months; in some cases, data for the States
not covered by the Association are included in the December
figures, or in July and December figures, if 6 months reports
were received. This accounts for the large awards for airports
in July, 1941, and the relatively high awards in December of
certain years. In other cases the data are included only in the
annual totals.
Large adjustments were made in the annual totals as follows:
In 1938 some 48,000 square yards were added to airports and in
1939 some 180,000 square yards (monthly data for airports for
1939 are too incomplete to be of value and are shown merely to
indicate the amount included in the total); in 1941 approximately 731,000 square yards were added to roads and approximately
901,000 square yards to the total awards. In all other items
and years for which monthly data are shown the adjustments have
been relatively small, amounting in recent years to less than
1 percent.
Monthlydata (slightly revised since first published for "total"
yardage and for "roads" beginning 1923 are shown in the 1940 and
earlier SUPPLEMENTS. Monthly data beginning 1934 for "streets
and alleys" (shown as two separate items in the 1938 SUPPLEMENT)
are shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS. Monthly averages
shown in the 1940 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS are based upon totals
of the monthly figures.

Compiled by the Federal Works Agency, Public Roads Administration, and are condition figures, as of the end of each month,
for highway work administered by the Bureau. Through December
1930 the figures are based solely upon the regular annual
appropriations of Federal aid for highway construction; subsequent
month-end figures include these and condition figures based
upon funds provided by various emergency construction authorizations.
Federal-aid funds were first authorized for grade-crossing
projects beginning with the fiscal year 1938; these have been
included in the totals for grade-crossing projects. Funds under
this appropriation arc not matched by State funds.
Data include projects on the Federal-aid highway system (both
inside and outside municipalities), projects in municipalities.

and secondary (or feeder) projects. Federal-aid funds were first
authorized for secondary (or feeder) road projects beginning
with the fiscal year 1938; these have been added to the regular
Federal-aid highway series.
The Federal-a id Act; of June 16, 1916, provided funds for
highway construction.
The data for Federal-aid highway construction prior to 1924, which are available only at the Public
Roads Administration, are incomplete and, therefore, are not comparable with those shown in the SURVEY.

Data are compiled by the Aberthaw Construction Co., and are
based upon the cost of constructing an 8-story reinforced-concrete industrial structure built by the company in Connecticut
in 1914, in which cement, steel, sand, gravel, lumber, and glass
constituted the major items. The index does not include data
for home-office overhead or for profit on the job, but is confined strictly to the cost of labor, materials, plant, tools,
insurance, etc., actually required for the construction of the
building.
Any improvements in design of the original building
are not considered, nor are any substitutions made for materials
which form a part of the building.
The data are brought up to date the first day of each quarter
(prior to 1929 the first day of each month) by preparing a complete new estimate of the original structure as of the current
date, which takes into account changes in prices of building
materials, variations in labor rates (standard union rates), and,
as far as may be determined, labor efficiency. The monthly figures and the quarterly figures (which are as of the first of
January, April, July, and October) are here moved back to the
end of the preceding month.
Monthly data for 1923^-28 and quarterly data for 1929-37 are
shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the American Appraisal Company on the basis of
a detailed bill of quantities of material and labor required
for typical frame, brick-wood frame, brick-steel frame and reinforced concrete buildings, with allowances for contractor's
overhead and profit, in 30 representative cities throughout the
United States. Workmen's compensation and liability insurance,
unemployment insurance and old-age pension factors are included
in the labor portion of the revised set-up. The material and
labor costs are recomputed monthly in accordance with normal
average prices and wages for the various kinds and grades of materials and classes of building trades as verified or adjusted
to normal from personal investigation of appraisers and information as to actual costs from clients and others. These computations automatically result in weighted averages for the individual buildings. Arithmetic averages are computed for the individual buildings and cities to obtain the city and national
average. The latter covers 24 cities prior to 1925 and 30 cities s ince tha t t ime.
The indexes cover the material, labor, and contractor's over*head and profit entering into the structural portion of the
buildings, but do not include the fixtures such as plumbing,
heating, lighting, and elevators.
The index is based on 1913 price levels as 100, and reflects
changes in subsequent average price levels, but does not reflect
the extreme costs resulting from overtime wages and bonuses during "boom periods" or sacrifice prices and omissions of overhead
costs and profits during "depression periods." Therefore, the
indexes do not represent the high and low extremes of individual
actual costs. As these index figures are based on 1913 as 100
for each individual location, they thus indicate the trend in
each city and not the trend between the various locations. The
company stresses the fact that these averages merely represent
a trend; that actual costs vary widely between different buildings and different regions, and are therefore not applicable to
specific buildings.
These indexes have been revised since publication of tho 1940
SUPPLEMENT so that data shown therein and in previous SUPPLEMENTS are not comparable with figures here shown. The revised
indexes have been computed on an annual basis only for years
prior to 1939.
The original reports include indexes foff each
of 22 typical cities, 4 of which are presented here.

Compiled by the Associated General Contractors of America,
Inc., combining indexes of wages and materials in the proportion
of 40 percent for the former and 60 percent for the latter,
which, according to the 1935 Census of Business for the Construction Industry, is approximately correct. In 1935, according to
this census, combined labor and material costs accounted for
about 75 percent of the total of all expenditures for building
construction. Wages used in computing this index are for hodcarriers and cotrmon laborers, and the material prices are those
for sand, gravel, crushed stone, Portland cement, common brick,
lumber (all weighted equally), hollow tile (1/2), and structural
and reinforcing steel (both together weighted 1/2).
Wages and
prices are reported by the 12 district offices of the association located in New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Detroit, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, and Boston, as of the 15th of each month. The
value of the materiai items included in the index represented
about 45 percent of the total cost of all building materials
used in 1929, according to the 1930 Census of the Construction
Industry.

Compiled by£. H, Boeckh & Associates, Znc,, consulting valuation engineers, Cincinnati, Ohio. Indexes are prepared for
20 areas, of which 4 have been selected for use in the SURVEY
to represent the trends in different parts of the country. The
indexes are computed as of the first of e-jich month and are here
reported as of the end of the preceding month. In addition to
the types of building construction givon, indexes are also prepared for commercial and factory buildings of frame, steel, and
brick and wood, and for apartments, hotels, and office buildings
of brick and wood. The areas covered, in addition to the four
shown in the SURVEY, are Baltimore. Birn.inghani, Puston, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Kansas City, Los
Angeles, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, tittsburgh, and
Seattle.
Basic cost data on materials are obtained from local building
material dealers, in connection with the company's cost pricing
service. Prevailing rates of wages are obtained primarily from
contractors and building trade associations. Actual wage rates
are used, rather than nominal rates, and rates ®f both common
and skilled labor are included. An arbitrary labor-efficiency
correction is used, based on the organization's study of labor
conditions in each area. Weights are based on studies of ac^jaJ
building costs by the organization and vary with *;ne different
types of structure.
Monthly data in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS fire shown as of
the first of each month as reported. In the monthly SURVEY since
September 1940 and in the present volume, they are srown as of
the end of the preceding month. Therefore, the ninthly averages
beginning 1934 do not agree with those shown in earJber SUPPLEMENTS
and the monthly data in the earlier SUPPLEMENTS shouJd be shifrted
back one month before using them in conjunction with *"he present
series. Data shown for years prior to 1934 are annual «"'ara{?»^
furnished by the compilers. Monthly data in the 1940 and 1938
SUPPLEMENTS are substantially correct except for brick residences
for 1934-35 which have been revised and which are available on
request. No monthly data are available prior to 1934.
* The Engineering News-Record index of construction costs is
comprised of (1) the base price of structural steel shapes at
Pittsburgh; (2) consumers' net price of cement exclusive of bags,
f.o.b. Chicago; (3) lumber, which through 1934 was 12 x 12 long
leaf yellow pine, wholesale, at New York, and beginning 1935 is
2 x 4 S4S pine and fir in carload lots (ENR 20-eities average);
(4) common labor rate paid in the steel industry for 1913-20
and since 1920 the average common labor rate (ENR 20-cities
average of wage rates in force).
The original weights were computed according to the relative importance of the 4 components in 1913. In arriving at the weights,
average production of steel and cement in the years 1913, 1916,
and 1919, average production of lumber for 1913 and 1916, and the
number of common industrial laborers, according to the 1910 Census, were placed on a dollar value basis using 1913 average prices
as compiled by ENR wherever possible. It should be noted that
these data, shown in the following table, represent total production and not amounts used in the construction industry.

According to the Engineering News-Record, these figures were
used as a guide, but were adjusted to their importance in the
construction industry with the aid of experienced construction
men. To carry the index forward on the aggregative basis, an
expenditure of approximately $100 was assumed to be spent on
the above listed items. This showed the amounts of each item
that could be purchased for $100 in the above proportions in
1913.
Purchases of similar quantities of these 4 items were
assumed to be made at each successive period.
The expenditure of $100, at 1913 prices, for the proper quantities of each item are given below, and it may be noted that
the "adjustment" mentioned above is an important factor.

For the lumber series prior to 1935 (12 by 12 long leaf yellow
pine) the weight was 600 board feet. In linking the two lumber
series, the 1936 average value of lumber of the old type as included in the index was first determined (quantity weight, 600
board feet times the average price for the year). The equivalent
1936 average value of the new type was represented by 1,088
board feet of lumber, which quantity is now used as the weighting factor.
Since the total in the base year equals approximately $100,
comparisons with the base year can be made directly; that is,
the total cost of the same quantity of the same items at any
future date, in terms of dollars and cents, is automatically a
percentage of the 1913 base.
Monthly data shown in the 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS
represent cost indexes as of the first of the month. These data
have been moved back to the end of the preceding month in the
1940 and present SUPPLEMENT, and annual averages for 1914-35
will not agree with those shown in earlier SUPPLEMENTS.
In addition to this construction cost index, the Engineering
News-Re cord also compiles an index of building cost which substitutes the trend of skilled labor for the common labor trend
used in the construction cost index; otherwise, the quantity
weights are identical.
The trends of the two indexes reflect
the divergent movements of wage rates for common and skilled
labor; since 31932, rates for the former have increased more
rapidly than those for the latter.

Data are compiled by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration from reports received from Home Owners' Loan Corporation
fieldmen in approximately 80 representative cities, one-third
reporting each month in rotation. The house on which costs are
reported is a detached 6-room home of 24,000 cubic feet volumeliving room, dining room, kitchen, and lavatory on the first
floor; 3 bedrooms and bath on the second floor. The exterior
is wide-board siding with brick and stucco as features of design.
Best quality materials and workmanship are used throughout.
The house is not completed ready for occupancy.
It includes
all fundamental structural elements, an attached 1-car garage,
an unfinished cellar, an unfinished attic, a fireplace, essential heating, plumbing, and electric wiring equipment, and complete insulation. It does not include wallpaper or other wall
or ceiling finish on interior plastered surface, lighting fixtures, refrigerators, water heaters, ranges, screens, weather
stripping, and window shades. Reported costs do not include land,
surveying, landscaping, architects* fees, building permits, financing charges, and sales costs.
To the reported total costs of materials and labor is added
14 percent to cover compensation insurance, contractor's overhead and transportation of materials, and builder's profit.
In figuring costs, current prices on the same building materials list are obtained every 3 months from the same dealers, and
current wage rates are obtained from the same reputable contractors and operative builders. Cities in the New York, Indianapolis, Des Moines, and Portland Federal Home Loan Bank districts
report in January, April, July, and October of each year; those
in the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Little Rock, and Los Angeles districts report in February, May, August, and November; and those
in the Boston, Winston-Salem, Chicago, and Topeka districts report in March, June, September, and December, To the average
cost for each month for the reporting cities in that month is
added the cost for the previous month from the prior reporting
cities and the cost of the subsequent month for the third reporting group. The arithmetic average of the 3 reporting groups
is taken as the average cost for the middle month for the country as a whole. The indexes are computed by relating this average to the average for 1935-39. No data are available prior to
1936, the base period having been obtained by computing an estimate for 1935.
A detailed description of the index and specifications for
the standard house appeared in the January and February 1936
issues of the Federal Home Loan Bank Review.
Monthly data beginning 1936 appear in table 28, p. 26 of the
October 1941 SURVEY.

Compiled by the Federal Housing Administration and represent gross mortgages accepted for insurance and the cumulative
total of premium paying mortgages insured under Title II, section 203, and Title VI, section 603, of the National Housing Act,
as amended.
Section 203 of Title II provides for the insuring of mortgages
on one-to-four-family homes.
Insuring operations under this
section began January 1935, Section 603 of Title VI makes eligible for Defense Housing Insurance by the Federal Housing Administration, mortgages on residential properties in defense areas
designated by the President. This title of the National Housing
Act was not passed until March 28, 1941. Consequently, no data
were included in mortgages accepted for insurance until April
1941 and premium paying mortgages under the Title do not appear
in the data until June 1941.
The series on gross mortgages accepted for insurance on small
homes includes commitments made during the month to mortgagees
for individual mortgage borrowers, but does not include conditional commitments to builders of homes being constructed for
sale. These commitments to insure are issued for specified periods necessary for completion of the building and the closing
of mortgage papers. Some of these commitments, therefore, may
lapse or be withdrawn by the mortgagee. The series is, however,
a more sensitive indicator of activity than that on mortgages
which are finally closed and premium-paying.
The cumulative series on premium-paying m o r t g a g e s includes
only those on properties on which final inspection of the complete home has been made and the mortgage papers closed, at which
time the first payment of premiums is made by the mortgagor and
transmitted to the Federal Housing Administration by the mortgagee. This series represents the closest approximation of the
amount of insurance outstanding as of any date, but includes no
deduction for amortization payments to principal made by mortgagors. In other words, the data represent the cumulative volume of business written rather than the balance of loans outstanding. Monthly figures on premium-paying mortgages may be
derived from this series by subtraction.
Monthly releases of the Federal Housing Administration give,
in addition to the series shown, separate figures on total mortgages selected for insurance under section 203 of Title II and
603 of Title VI of the Act, as well as totals on insurance of
mortgages on "Rental housing projects," under 207 and 210 of
Title II and "Property improvements loans" insured under Title
I of the Act as amended, none of which are included in the above

Estimated by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration
from reports of approximately 3,000 cooperating Federal, Statemember, and nonmember associations whose assets represent about
65 percent of the total assets of all savings and loan associations. Data represent the estimated amount of new loans made
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
by ail savings and loan associations, broken down both by purpose of the loan and by class of association originating the
loans.
Mortgage loans on homes represent loans on homes for one to
four families. Loans for all other purposes include loans on
homes for more than 4 families, loans f o r business purposes
(loans on land, business buildings, etc. ), and miscellaneous
purposes. The larger portion of this group is loans for multifamily dwellings.
Data are raised to an estimated total lending activity on the
basis of the proportion which the reporting associations' assets
bear to total assets. IReporting associations are considered to
be representative of both active and inactive associations. By
estimating separately for certain States and for each type, allowances are made for the marked differences in the activity of
the same type of association in different States and also for
differences in coverage and lending activity of new and converted Federal associations, and insured and non-insured State
members.
Monthly data for 1936-37 may be found in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT.

Compiled by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration.
Data represent the estimated total amount of the balance of
mortgage loans outstanding for all Federal savings and loan
associations. The estimates are based upon the mortgage loan
balances reported each month by about 1,400 Federal savings and
loan associations holding more than 95 percent of all Federal
savings and loan associations' assets.
Monthly data for 1936-37 are shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT.

Compiled by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration.
Data represent the amount of Home Loan Bank advances to member
institutions, excluding; interbank transactions, Companatively
small revisions have been made in the monthly data beginning
1933 as shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS. The revised
data are available on request.

Compiled by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration.
The Home Owners' Loan Corporation, established June 12D 1933,
refinanced the mortgages of distressed urban home owners0 During the 3-year period ended June 12, 1936, the Home Owners' Loan
Corporation refinanced 1,018,171 loans involving $3,093,439,271.
Subsequent to the completion of refinancing operations a number
of purchase loans have been granted in the sale of Home Owners*
Loan Corporation acquired properties, and additional advances
have been made to original mortgagors for such purposes as taxes,
insurance, and reconditioning. The balance of loans outstanding
presented herein represents the cumulative total of original
loans and advances from which the cumulative total of repayments
has been deducted in each month. The latter includes an adjustment for loans transferred as properties to the "property account." No reserve for losses on loans has been deducted.
The "Home and mortgage loans" shown under assets of governmental corporations and credit agencies on p. 76 include in addition to loans of the Home Owners* Loan Corporation, loans of
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Mortgage Company, Federal
National Mortgage Association and the United States Housing
Authority.
Monthly data beginning 1934 are shown in the 1940 and 1938
SUPPLEMENTS. Available data for 1933 are as follows: August,
$197,000; September, $3,818,000; October, $18,332,000; November,
$57,652,000; and December, $132,386,000.
^ Compiled by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration. The
index measures the number of properties currently being acquired
through foreclosure expressed as a percentage of the average
1935-39 month, with adjustment for normal seasonal variation.
Although nonresidential and multifamily foreclosures comprise
about 15 percent of the totals used, this index, according to
the compilers, is essentially a gauge of the ability of home
owners to meet their obligations.
The indexes for the years 1934 to date were developed from
sample data reported monthly by counties, cities, townships, or
other governmental divisions varying in number from 1,000 to
approximately 1,800 and possessing from 60 to 75 percent of all
nonfarm dwellings. The larger coverage applies in recent years.
Because of the inadequacy of available material, only annual
indexes were computed for the years prior to 1934.
Monthly data beginning 1934 appear in table 29,^ p. 26, of
the October 1941 SURVEY.

Compiled by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, Actuarial Bureau Committee. Data represent net fire and lightning
losses for buildings £ind contents reported to the committee to
which 30 percent is added beginning 1936 for unreported and uninsured losses. Prior to 1936, 25 percent was added for this
purpose. Data do not include losses for automobiles and other
classes of property written under marine forms, tornado, inlandmarine, earthquake, sprinkler-leakage, explosion, war-risk, touristfloater, registered-mail, parcel-post, riot, and civil-commotion
insurance. Reinsurances in national board companies also
185
are excluded. The monthly figures shown here in italics, which
are available only since the beginning of 1929, are estimates
based upon reports by agents at the time fires occur and can only be used as a general indication of the trend of fire losses.
The annual figures are based on annual surveys which represent
the final adjustments on losses. The annual surveys vary from
yearly totals of the monthly figures to a considerable extent
in most years. Unadjusted monthly data beginning with 1929 are
shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by L. D. H. Weld, Director of Research, McCannErickson, Inc., and reported in the weekly issues of Printers1
Ink. The farm-paper index is based on commercial linage in the
national farm publications and a representative group of State
and sectional papers as reported in Printers* Ink since 1925;
for earlier years, the data were taken from the individual publications. The coverage of this series cannot be accurately estimated. The magazine index is based on magazine linage for the
United States as published by Printers' Ink which covers approximately 80 to 85 percent of total linage in all magazines. Magazine linage is counted as of the month in which the publication
is released, and not as of the date given on the cover which is
often for the following month. In both of these series, allowance is made for the linage of fifth issues of weeklies in those
months in which S Issues occur, and a similar adjustment is made
in farm papers for biweeklies when 3 issues appear in certain
months. Adjustment is also made in farm papers for mergers and
for changes in the number of issues per month of a given publication. The newspaper index is based on total advertising linage in newspapers in 52 cities as reported by Media Records,
Inc., for the period 1928 to date; prior to 1928 the figures for
23 cities as reported by Editor and Publisher were used. The
coverage cannot be accurately estimated. For this series the
data are placed on a 30-day month basis, with allowance for the
varying number of Sundays per month, For the outdoor advertising index, the data used are compiled by the Outdoor Advertising
Association of America. The estimated coverage of the figures
amounts to over 50 percent of the total outdoor advertising of
the country.
The monthly radio index based on gross cost of chain time for
the National and Columbia Broadcasting Companies has been discontinued, but radio advertising is still included in the monthly
index of general advertising activity.
After making the adjustments in the basic datd referred to
above, the data are corrected for seasonal variations by using
the "ratio-to-12-month-moving-average" method and are reduced
to relatives on the 1928-32 base. In the combined index the resulting relatives are weighted according to the estimated amount
spent on each type of medium in the base period and averaged
geometrically. There is no adjustment for long-time growth in
the series presented here. The combined index adjusted for longtime growth is described in Printers* Ink of October 13, 1939.
Two of the basic series (without adjustments], are regularly
shown in the SURVEY. These are magazine and newspaper linage.
For radio advertising, the data used in this inde,e differ from
the dollar figures shown on this page, which include data for
the Mutual Broadcasting System.
Monthly data for 1934-37 appear in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS. For the combined index, farm papers, magazines, and newspapers from 1922-33 and for the index of radio advertising from
1928-33, see p. 19 of the July 1935 issue of the SURVEY, Figures
prior to 1933 for the outdoor-advertising index which have not
been shown in the SURVEY are available upon request. These figures are given on p. 90 of the May 9, 1935, issue of Printers'
Ink. For a more complete description of the indexes refer to

* Compiled by Publishers' Information Bureau, Inc. (formerly
National Advertising Records, Inc.). Figures represent the cost
of facilities of the National Broadcasting and the Columbia
Broadcasting Systems and include similar data for the Mutual
Broadcasting System beginning with October 1935. The total cost
of facilities of the Mutual Broadcasting System (exclusive of
supplementary stations) for 1935 was $497,000. Since January
1936 the data for the Mutual Broadcasting System include the
cost of. facilities of the supplementary stations. "Gasoline and
oil" figures shown here for the first time were formerly included in figures for "automobiles and accessories." Revisions
have been made in "electrical household equipment," "housefurnishings and kitchen supplies," and in the "all other'* groups by
186
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
transferring the cost of advertising lamps and electrical appliances from " housefurnishings " to "electrical household equipment," and silverware from "all other " to "housefurnishings. "
These groups are now comparable with the magazine classifications
shown on p. 30. Since amounts reported for " of f ice furnishings
and supplies" for radio advertising have been negligible since
1936, data for that group, formerly shown separately, have been
included in "all other. "
Except for the revised classifications, as indicated above,
monthly data beginning with May 1932, the earliest month for
which the present series are available, are correct in the 1940
and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS and, except for minor revisions, in table
38, p, 20, of the September 1937 SURVEY. Data for the revised
classifications were not compiled by months for years prior to
1938.

Compiled by Publishers' Information Bureau, Inc. (formerly
National Advertising Records, Inc.). The figures represent the
cost of advertising in national magazines for the classes shown,
with space cost based on the one-time (or single insertion) rate
with no account taken of lower advertising rates due to longer
period contracts, "Gasoline and oil" figures shown here for the
first time were formerly included in figures for "automobiles
and accessories. " The monthly figures for 1932 as given by Publishers ' Information Bureau, Inc., do not in all instances check
with the yearly totals as shown, due to the fact that transfers
between classes, which were not allocated to the monthly figures,
were made in the yearly totals. These shifts, however, were not
large enough to cause any serious deviation in the monthly data.
Data for "gasoline and oil" and revised figures for "automobiles
and accessories" arc not available by months prior to 1938. For
monthly data for these groups combined and for all other series
beginning with January 1932, the earliest month for which the
present series are available, see the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS

Compiled by Printers' Ink and represents magazine advertising linage for the United States. It is estimated that the data
include from 80 to 85 percent of all magazine linage. The series
is regarded by the compilers and leading advertisers as a satisfactory measure of the trend of total advertising effort. A
former series based on identical magazines was published by 4year periods, establishing a trend through 1929, but for subsequent periods this series was unsatisfactory because of the increase in the number of magazines included in the comparative
4-year summary, By 1933 all magazines reporting to Printers'
Ink were included in the comparative table. In order to make
the present series comparable over the full period, all linage
reported to the compilers, whether or not included in the comparative totals, was added for each month. With the inclusion
of all magazines, the series takes in new magazines as they are
published, and thereby gives recognition to changes in advertising preference. Monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in the
1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS and on p. 20 of the October
1933 issue.

General advertising is the advertising of specific products on
general sale, as distinguished from the advertising of retail
stores, and au tomotive or financial advertising. A series on
department store advertising is also available from the original
source. The application of this definition is uniform in all
cities measured by Media Records, Inc. For monthly data beginning 1928 see the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
The New York Evening Post series on newspaper advertising in
22 cities is available for the period from 1916 through January
1933.

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census.
Currently, data are based on reports received from
about 390 establishments operating approximately 1,090 public
warehouses.
The number has declined steadily from 1930 (when
more than 650 establishments operating nearly 1,500 warehouses
reported) through 1933.
The decline in the number of firms reporting has been allowed for by stating the figures on a ratio
basis, and it is believed that the series is representative for
the entire period covered. Storage of household nnd cold-storage goods arc excluded from the compilations. Monthly figures
beginning 1928 are in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
Detailed figures by geographic divisions, States, and metropolitan areas are £iven in the original report.

Compiled by the U. S. Post Office Department. The figures
were determined by ascertaining the weight and distance carried
for air-mail dispatched monthly on each route and then consolidating the route totals to obtain monthly totals for all routes
combined. Pound-mile performance is obtained by multiplying
each pound of mail by the distance it travels from its point of
origin to its destination.
Monthly data beginning 1931 appear in the 1940, 1938, and 1936
SUPPLEMENTS. The figures for 1931 are given in the footnote on
p. 172 of the 1938 SUPPLEMENT.

Compiled by the U. S. Post Office Department. The 50 cities
included in the monthly reports represented, in the fiscal year
1941, about 22 percent of the total value of money orders issued,
and nearly 57.percent of the total value of money orders paid.
Money orders paid include, in addition to those both issued and
paid in the 50 cities, those presented for payment but issued at
any of t;he other post offices in the United States or the 21
foreign countries, mostly in North America and the West Indies,
to which domestic postage rates apply. For this reason, money
orders paid in the 50 cities represent a much larger percentage
of the total than do money orders issued in these same cities.
The 50 cities included are as follows: New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, St, Louis, Kansas City, Detroit, Cleveland, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Washington, Buffalo, St. Paul,
Indianapolis, Atlanta, Newark, Denver, Dallas, Seattle, Onaha,

Compiled by the V. S. Post Office Department and represents
receipts from: (a) Sales of stamps, stamped envelopes, newspaper wrappers, and postal cards; (b) second-class postage paid
in money; (c) first-, second-, third-, and fourth-class postage
paid in money under permit; (d) receipts from box rents. For
the country as a whole, receipts from these items represent
nearly 100 percent of total ordinary postal revenues. The 50
selected cities cover the largest cities in the country; since
1923 these cities account for approximately one-half of total
revenues for the entire country. For the 50 industrial cities
(none of which are included in the other class) the trend of
revenue is more sensitive to change due to special conditions
that exist in such cities during different stages of the business
cycle. For this reason the relationship between receipts of
these cities and total receipts for the country fluctuates widely.
The comparability of these series is affected by variations in
postal rates and these changes (for class 1 mail only) have been,
briefly, as follows: November 3, 1917, the rates were increased
by the War Revenue Act from 2 to 3 cents for first-class mail
other than drop letters (for which the rate was advanced from
1 to 2 cents) and from 1 to 2 cents for postal cards. These
rates remained in effect until July 1, 1919, when the original
rates were restored. However, the amounts derived from the increases in postage and reflected in postal receipts represented
war-tax revenue that accrued to the Treasury and not to the Post
Office Department. On July 6, 1932, letter postage was advanced
from 2 to 3 cents, and that rate still prevails except for local
delivery letters, for which the rate was reduced to 2 cents,
effective July 1, 1933,
Monthly deta prior to 1936 given in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and

Compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. The series presented here beginning
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
1935 represent estimates of sales of retail stores as defined by the Census of Business and are adjusted to Census totals
for 1935 and 1939.
The figures for 1929 and 1933 are based on
Census data for those years, adjusted for comparability with
the Census of 1935 and 1939.
Monthly sales beginning January
1935 of all retail stores were derived by adding estimates made
for 10 component groups, selected on the basis of Census classifications by kind of business. To estimate sales of these groups
of stores, 21 separate basic series were used. These were
weighted on the basis of sales by kind of business and type of
operation as shown by the Census in 1935 and 1939 together with
estimates for the intervening years. Of the 21 series used, 11
represent the sales of independent retailers based on monthly
reports to the Bureau of the Census; 4 cover chain-store sales,
grocery, men's wear, variety, and drug, reported directly to
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Other basic series
are the Federal Reserve index of department store sales, which
beginning January 1941 Includes store sales of Montgomery Ward
and Sears Roebuck, used as a separate series prior to that date,
a series based on catalog sales of mail-order houses, and 3 series based on estimates of total sales of specific commodities
by ail retail stores. The last 3, namely, new passenger car
sales, used car financing, and gasoline sales were used to estimate sales of filling stations and automotive stores.
Indexes for each kind of business were computed on a dailyaverage basis by dividing the monthly aggregate sales of each
group by the number of working days and expressing the sales
per working day as a relative of the daily average sales for
the 5 years 1935-39. To adjust these indexes for seasonal variation, the daily average index for each kind of business for
each month was divided by the corresponding seasonal adjustment
factor, computed from the estimates of daily average sales for
that kind of business by the 12-month moving average method.
Moving seasonals we re used in only a few cases because not
enough years were available to estimate changes through time
with confidence.
Indexes of average daily sales of all retail
stores, with and without seasonal adjustment, were obtained by
weighting each kind of business by the ratio of its sales in the
5 years 1935-39 to sales of all retail stores in the same period.
Aggregate sales of durable goods stores were obtained by adding dollar sales for (1) automotive stores (excluding garages),
( ) household furnishings (including furniture, household ap2
pliances, and radio) stores, (3) building materials (including
lumber) and hardware dealers, and (4) jewelry stores, included
in "other retail stores'* group. Daily average indexes with and
without seasonal adjustment, were computed by weighting the indexes for each of these 4 classifications by the proportion
which sales of the given class bore to sales of all 4 classes
of stores in the 1935-39 base period. Sales of nondurable goods
stores were derived by a similar process, that is, by combining
with appropriate weights the sales indexes of the remaining kinds
of business.
General merchandise stores were thus included in
the nondurable goods stores.
For a detailed description of the methods and sources used in
compiling the series and monthly data for 1935-37 for the total
dollar sales and for all series of indexes, see the October 1941
issue of the Survey of Current Business, pp. 18-25. Monthly
dollar sales for 1935-37 for all durable goods and nondurable
goods stores and for the kind-of-business groups are available
on pp. 24 and 25 of the' August 1942 SURVEY.
^ Computed by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, and portrays the trend of consumer
purchases of new passenger automobiles which, it is estimated,
account for from 6 to 8 percent of the total retail trade of the
country. The index gives only a partial indication of the trend
of total business of automobile dealers, since only about onehalf of such business is represented by new passenger-car sales.
The unit sales figures upon which this index is built are those
reported each month to the Automobile Manufacturers Association
by individual manufacturers who produce more than 95 percent of
all passenger cars. The figures are obtained by the Bureau in
total only, and since a dollar value was desired, it was necessary to determine an "average realized price" to be used in converting the total monthly unit sales figures into dollar-volume
figures. To obtain such a price, the registration figures, which
are available by make of car, are used. The retail price of
the standard sedan (for 2 makes the coach is used, as it is the
most popular model) of each make of car is multiplied by the
month's total registrations for that make, and the sum of such
products divided by total registrations of all makes for the
month gives the desired "average realized price." This price
factor is then multiplied by total unit sales to obtain a dollarvalue figure. The total value for the month is then reduced to
a daily average basis, giving equal weight to all days.
187
The series presented here represent a revision of the data
which were published in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT. The seasonally
corrected index has been completely revised and both the unadjusted and adjusted series have been computed on a new base period, using the monthly average for vvie years 1935-39 as 100
instead of the former base, 1929-31. ^he revision of the seasonally adjusted index has been made primarily to allow for the
effect of the changing date of new model introduction which has
drastically altered the seasonal pattern, Formerly, new models
were introduced around the beginning of the year so that constant seasonal adjustment factors were used for the period 192834 when the sales of passenger cars followed a fairly regular
seasonal pattern. Since 1935, new models have been introduced
as early as September in 1941 and as late as November in 1936.
A changing seasonal pattern, therefore, was required to describe
this phenomenon. Seasonal factors were adjusted beginning August 1941 to take into account the effect of restricted production.
A detailed description of the technique and methods employed
in making the revisions, together with the monthly unadjusted and
adjusted figures from January 1928, appear on pp. 18-20 of the
August 1 s ?ii issue of the SURVEY. The methods used in computing
the unadjusted index are given in the April 1934 issue of the
SURVEY, pp. 16-19.

Compiled by Chain Store Age from reports of 5 grocery chains,
6 variety store chains, 2 drug chains, 2 shoe chains, and 3 apparel chains through 1935. Beginning in January 1936, one shoe
chain and one apparel chain were added, making 20 in all. These
reporting chains, according to Chain Store Age, account for
about one - third of the total chain business in these fields.
Indexes are computed for each of the 5 groups mentioned above,
one of which is shown in the SURVEY, together with the composite
index.
In computing the index, dally average sales by groups
are calculated each month and related to the average for the same
month in 1929, 1930, and 1931. (For ex^npli:, daily average sales
in January 1936 are expressed as a percentage of daily average
sales in the 3 months January 1929, January 1930, and January
1931). A fairly satisfactory adjustment for seasonal variation
results from this operation. An adjus' >ient is also made for the
shifting date of Easter. For the conposii« index the total of
the daily average sales by groups is used, instead of weighting
each set of group relatives to obtain a weighted average composite. Before combining the daily averages for the groups, adjustment is made to secure an approximately parallel relationship
between groups each month. In reducing the monthly data to a
daily average basis, allowance is made for Sundays and for the
6 holidays most commonly observed in variety, shoe, and apparel
chains, but no such allowance is made in the index for drug
chains. The indexes are available only back to January 1932.
See the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS for the monthly figures
for 1932-37.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, The series are based on data
supplied by a sample group of representative firms doing more
than two-thirds of the business in this field. The index was
computed by the link-relative method from aggregate sales figures for the calendar month with May 1940 arbitrarily set as the
base point. The series was then converted to a 1935-39 base by
dividing through by the average of the relatives of those years.
Correction for seasonal variation was made by the "ratio-to-movingaverage" method with slight adjustments for the shifting importance of seasonal levels. For a complete description of the
index together with data from July 1934, see pp. 10 and 11 of
the November 1940 SURVEY.
3
Computed by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, from the reports of 9 grocery
store chains. Two of the firms in the original sample of 10 are
now operated by one organization in the sample. According to
the Census of Business, the approximately 25, 600 outlets operated
by these concerns in 1939 represented about 65 percent of all
chain grocery units, and accounted for approximately 70 percent
of all chain grocery-store sales. Representation is given to
all regions of the United States in proportion to the census
distribution. The index is not designed to measure the sales
of all grocery stores, since the trend of sales by independent
grocers varies somewhat from that of chain organizations.
The monthly index numbers are derived from average daily sales.
To convert the sales figures to an average daily sales basis,
the number of working days in each month has been calculated.
The days in the week are weighted as follows:
Monday, 0.6;
Tuesday, 0.7; Wednesday, 0.7; Friday, 1.0; Saturday, 2.3; total,
188
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
6. The number of working days in any one month was then calculated by adding the weights of all the business days in that
month. When a holiday falls on the first working day of a month,
six-tenths of a day (the weight of Monday) is subtracted from
that month and added to the preceding month.
The trend of the index closely follows that of the country's
total grocery chain-store sales reported by the Census of Business from 1929 to 1933.
However, from 1933 to 1935 the index
showed a slight downward bias which has been corrected by adjusting the index to the census trend. No adjustment was necessary
from 1935 to 1939 since the trend again closely coincided with
that of the census.
Seasonal adjustment factors were computed by using the "ratioto-moving-average" method. For a more complete description of
the index, see pp. 14-16 of the May 1937 issue of the SURVEY.
The base of the index has been revised from 1929-31 to 1935-39.
No further revisions have been made. The revised monthly figures
for 1929-37 are available on request.
y
Computed by the U. S, Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, to provide a measure of the sales
of a typical variety store. The index is computed from monthly
sales of an identical group of stores received from the following limited-price variety chains: W, T. Grant, H. L. Green, S.
S. Kresge, S. H. Kress, G. C. Murphy, J. J. Newberry, and F. W,
Woolworth. About 90 percent of the volume of the limited-price
variety store is sold through chain organizations, and the abovementioned organizations operate about 70 percent of the total
chain units and account for more than 80 percent of the volume
of all variety store sales. The individual store units comprising the sample give representation to every section of the country and to every State; the sample weights rather heavily those
cities between 10,000 and 100,000 population, and gives relatively light weight to towns of less than 1 , 0 .
000
The series presented here represent a revision of the data
which were published in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT. The seasonally adjusted index has been completely revised and both the adjusted
and unadjusted series have been recomputed from a 1929-31 base
period to a 1935-39 base. The revision of the adjusted series
has been made primarily to allow for seasonal shifts which have
taken place since the series was initiated in 1934, and also includes new correction factors for the shifting date of Easter
derived from data which have become available since the original
series was presented. No change has been made in the reporting
sample of stores or the method of compilation of the unadjusted
index aside from the change of base period. In computing the
index, each firm's monthly sales were reduced to daily averages,
related to the 1935-39 base, and weighted according to the total
sales of the several firms in 1932.
For a more complete description of the revision in the series
together with monthly unadjusted and adjusted indexes from January 1929, see pp. 9 and 10 of the August 1940 SURVEY, The methods used in computing the unadjusted index are given in the March
1934 SURVEY, pp. 17-20.

Data on variety chain-store sales and stores operated are
reported directly to the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, by the several chain systems.
All of the companies for which data are shown fall within the
classification popularly known as *' 10-cent stores'*; none of the
companies, however, limit their sales to 10-cent items. All
sales data are for calendar months.
Data for S. S. Kresge Company are for sales and stores in the
United States only and include concession sales (usually total
sales of concessionnaire hut in a few minor instances net receipts are used). Monthly data for 1934-37 are available in the
1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS and for 1923-28, in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT. Data beginning 1929 published in the 1932 and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS include stores in the United States and Canada (the first
Canadian store was opened in May 1 2 ) monthly data for 192999:
33 for United States stores only are available on request.
For S. H. Kress and Company, data include sales and stores
operated in both the United States and Hawaii. Data for F. W.
Woolworth include stores operated in the United States, Canada,
and Cuba. Data for McCrory Stores Corporation include concession sales. Both this company and G. C. Murphy Company operate
stores only in the United States*
Monthly data for years prior to 1938 for S. H. Kress Company,
McCrory Stores Corporation, G. C. Murphy Company, F. W. Woolworth
Company, as shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936t and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS
are correct except for minor revisions in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT
and revisions in sales for G. C, Murphy Company as follows:
December 1933, $3,631,000; December 1934, $4,516,000.

Reported directly to the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, by the two chain systems. The
monthly figures beginning January 1923, as shown in the 1940,
1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are correct except for minor
revisions.
The comparability of the J. C. Penney Company*s
monthly figures in 1929 is affected by the inclusion of the undistributed sales of the J. B. Byars Company for the first 5
months in the sales figure for June 1929.
This company was
absorbed by the J. C. Penney Company in February 1929. Approx-,
imately 113 stores were included in the Byars chain.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Collections represent the ratio of
total collections during the month to total amount of accounts
outstanding at the beginning of that month. Reported dollar collections used in computing installment ratios for the most part
include down payments on current installment sales. Since January 1934 the series are based on open accounts of approximately
400 department stores, and installment accounts of approximately
300 stores, as reported by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System.
The reporting stores are well distributed
throughout the 12 districts of the Federal Reserve System, Most
of the monthly reviews published by the various Federal Reserve
banks carry this information in detailed form. See also Retail
Credit Survey, 1936 (Domestic Commerce Series, No. 98).
Data
for 1933 are from the Retail Credit Survey made by the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce and are based on the open accounts
of 174 department stores and the installment accounts of 131
stores. Despite the smaller number of stores in 1933, the series
appear to be comparable; the ratios for the 1935 Retail Credit
Survey, based on the same number of stores as in 1933, show only
minor variations from the ratios reported by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Earlier monthly data appear in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS.
Indexes for accounts receivable appear in this SUPPLEMENT for
the first time. Data are as of the end of the month and are
from the same sources as for collections.
Indexes are computed
for each Federal Reserve district and the regional indexes are
weighted to obtain the combined index for the United States
shown here. The weights are based on the regional distribution
of total department store receivables outstanding at the end of
1939, as indicated by the Census of Business for 1939.
The indexes are without adjustment for seasonal variation. Regional
data for both collections and accounts receivable are published
in monthly releases by the Bureau.

Compiled by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, Division of Research and Statistics, and is based on
dollar sales of a sample of department stores located for the
most part in the larger cities of the country. Prior to 1941
this sample included over 400 independent stores which accounted
for more than one-half of total department store business. Beginning in 1941 the sample was expanded to cover about 1,300
stores, including many retail outlets of the large mail-order
houses, and the index has been carried forward on the basis of
year-to-year changes shown by this group of stores which account
for probably three*fourths of department store sales. In 1939,
department store sales amounted to approximately 11 per cent of
all retail sales, according to the Census of Business for 1939.
The index is based on daily average dollar sales, related to
the 1923-25 daily average, and adjusted for seasonal variation.
In computing daily averages of monthly figures, allowances are
made for changes from month to month in the number of Saturdays
and Sundays and for the 6 most commonly observed national holidays.
The seasonal adjustment factors are computed by the "ratio-tomoving-average" method. The adjustment for the changing date of
Easter is made by altering the seasonal factors for March and
April; thus, in 1934 when Easter fell on April l f all Easter
business was done in March and, accordingly, the seasonal adjustment factor for March was raised three points, and the April factor lowered three points.
A weekly index of department stores sales, available back to
the beginning of 1937, is also compiled by the Board of Governors, and is published regularly in the WEEKLY SUPPLEMENT to the
SURVEY. This index, computed on the basis of the 1935-39 average
as 100, is based on a smaller number of stores but shows changes
closely similar to those indicated by the monthly index. The
weekly index is not adjusted for seasonal variation.
For monthly data back to 1919 for both the adjusted and unadjusted indexes, see the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS, and p. 19 of
the September 1936 issue of the SURVEY, except for revisions in
the adjusted indexes as follows: 1933—August, 75; October, 69;
1934—July, 72; August, 77; 1935-October, 79; November, 81;
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
1936—October, 91; November, 93; 1937—September, 93, October,

available in the Federal Reserve Bulletin of April 192S (pp.
236-242), and in a revised statement published by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
y
Computed by the Federal Reserve banks for the specified districts. The methods used in constructing the indexes are generally similar to those used in the index of department-store sales
for the United States except for Atlanta and Kichmond which used
the chain method rather than the "fixed-base** method. For the
methods used by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System in computing the present total index for the United
States, see footnote 3 for this page. Practically identical samples are used for all of the indexes except Atlanta, Richmond and
San Francisco. However, a few substitutions or additions have
been made from time to time and a few stores dropped out. For
the San Francisco district, adjustment of the city figures which
make up the total has been made to levels indicated by Census of
Distribution data for 1929, 1933, 1935, and 1939. Similarly,
data for Atlanta were adjusted to the levels of sales indicated
by Census figures for 1929, 1933, and 1935. For these two districts and for Richmond, city or regional data were combined into
a district index by weights based on Census data. For Atlanta,
stores in the reporting group are predominately department stores.
Philadelphia and San Francisco include branches of national
chains in their samples, With the exception of Kansas City and
Minneapolis, the monthly sales are reduced to daily averages and
for all except Kansas City, indexes are computed both with and
without adjustment for seasonal variations. The method of adjustment used in all cases is that of " ratio- to-moving-average. "
Allowance for the changing date of Easter is also made in each
district index except Kansas City. The annual figures shown for
the Atlanta, Chicago, and St. Louis indexes are based on yearly
sales; for the others, the annual figures are averages of the
monthly indexes. The indexes for Minneapolis district are based
on department-store sales in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, and
Superior only.
Earlier monthly data for Atlanta and Minneapolis indexes (revised to a 1935-39 base ;;ince publication of the 1940 SUPPLEMENT)
are shown, respectively, in table 23, p, 16, of the December 1 4

SURVEY and table 20, p. 18, of the May 1941 issue; earlier monthly data for the Kichmond, San Francisco and Philadelphia indexes are on pp. 25 and 26 of the August 1942 Survey; earlier monthly data for Chicago and St. Louis will be published ai:;o in a
monthly issue of the SURVEY. Earlier monthly data for other
districts are available as follows: Cleveland — unadjusted! index

Currently computed by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, from data compiled by the
Federal Reserve banks located in this district. Indexes for
each of the 12 Federal IReserve districts were formerly compiled
by the Federal Reserve Board, but were discontinued after December 1930. However, the indexes were kept up to date by the
SURVEY until new indexes were computed by all of the Federal
Reserve banks except Boston, as outlined in footnote 4 for this
page. For the Boston district, the old index computed by the
Federal Reserve Board has been carried forward by using data
compiled by the Federal Reserve bank in this district and published in its regular monthly bulletin. Such figures show percentage changes of the current month as compared with the corresponding month a year ago in sales of an identical group of
stores. A given percentage change, when applied to the index
for the corresponding month a year ago gives the index lor the
latest month* Prior to December 1930 the index for this district, as compiled by the Federal Reserve Board, was adjusted
for the number of working days, for the varying number of Saturdays and Sundays, for seasonal variations, and for the changing
date of Easter; since that time, these adjustments have not been
made. Monthly indexes ifor earlier years were shown in the 1940,
1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Computed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and represents the ratio of installment sales to total sales in a given
month. Data were received from approximately 25 stores in 1941
189
and about 20 stores in earlier years. Monthly data back to 1925
appear in the 1940, 1938t 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
Computed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, Division of Research and Statistics* Data are based on
the dollar value, at selling prices, of department-store stocks
at the end of the month. Reports are currently received from
about 350 stores, a smaller sample than that reporting sales*
Methods used in computing the indexes are the same as those used
in computing the indexes of department-store sales for the United
States except that month-end figures are used, and not daily
averages. (See footnote 3 for pp, 35 and 3 . For monthly un6)
adjusted figures prior to 1938 see the 1940, 1938, 1936, and

Reported directly to the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, by the two companies.
Sales shown are total sales for calendar months, and include both
catalog and store sales, trie number of stores of the two companies has increased very considerably in the period covered.
Monthly figures back to January 1923 are shown in the 1940, 1938,
1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
" Constructed by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Since the number of reports
received from independent stores doing business in small communities is insufficient, the indexes are computed from data supplied
by large mail-order houses and a chain-store system which also
serves the rural population.
The companies which cooperate in
supplying figures are: Chicago Mail Order House, Montgomery
Ward & Company, Sears, Roebuck & Company, and J. C. Penney Company.
Although the figures obtained provide a fairly large sample of
rural sales, it should be noted that this sample is not entirely
representative. The character of the business done by small independent rural stores is not identical with that of the large
companies, and the trend of their sales may differ from that of
the larger units* Despite its obvious limitations, however, the
index should provide a better indication of the volume of rural
purchasing of general merchandise than is provided by the sales
of a limited number of individual companies.
For the three mail-order companies, only catalog sales (the
bulk of which go to persons in communities of less than 10,000
population) are used; the sales of local retail stores maintained
by two of these companies are excluded from the index, because
it is believed that they represent too large a volume of urban
trade.
Total sales of the four companies (as used in the index) represent about one-fourth of all general merchandise sales in places
of less than 30,000 population, according to the 1935 Census of
Distribution
Figures are provided by the J, C, Penney Company, comparing
sales for each month with sales of the same stores in the corresponding month of the preceding year, thus making it possible to
eliminate the effect of expansion in the number of stores.
In constructing the index, daily average sales of the four
firms in the four regions are related to the 1929-31 average,
adjusted for seasonal variation through 1933 by the "ratio-tomoving-average" method and beginning with 1934, by the linkrelative method* The relatives for the four companies are
weighted to obtain regional indexes in accordance with the proportion of total sales represented by each in the base years,
and averaged arithmetically.
For sales of the J. C, Penney
Company, allowance is made in adjusting the data to a dailyaverage basis for the varying sales importance of the different
days of the week, for Sundays, and for 6 legal holidays. For
mail-order sales, allowance is made for Sundays and for 1/2 day
Saturday for 2 mail-order companies and 1 full Saturday for the
third* No adjustment is made for the changing date of Easter.
The composite index for the country as a whole is computed from
the total sales figures of each of the four firms, rather than
by weighting and combining the regional indexes* For the total
index, a more complete description appears on p. 20 of the December 1 3 SURVEY and for the regional indexes, on p. 14 of the
94
September 1936 issue.
Earlier monthly figures unadjusted for seasonal variations
will be found in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS, on p* 20 of the
December 1934 issue (total index), and on p. 14 of the September
1936 issue (regional indexes). For the adjusted figures beginning 1934, see table 37, p. 17, of the August 1939 issue. Data
prior to 1934 are correct in the issues referred to for the unad j usted indexes.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Data represent the estimated number of persons
working at any time duri" * the week ended nearest the middle, of
each month. The estimates are based in large part on industrial
censuses and on regular reports of employers to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics and to other Government agencies, as well as
employers' monthly reports in connection with unemployment compensation and quarterly reports in connection withhold age and
survivor's insurance. " "Total nonagricultural employment" shows
the estimated total number of persons engaged in gainful work in
the United States in nonngricultural industries, excluding military and naval personnel, persons employed on W. P. A. or N. Y.
A, projects, and enrollees in C. C. C. Camps.
The series on
"employees in nonagricultural establishments " exclude also proprietors and firm members, self-employed persons, casual workers,
and persons in domestic service. Data for the military and naval forces, which are excluded from the other employment estimates, include persons inducted into the Federal service by Act
of Congress, as well as the regular military and naval forces.
The data have been adjusted to conform with the 1939 Census
levels of employees in manufacturing concerns engaged in clerical, distribution, or construction activities, and retail trade
employment, and to the figures shown by the 1930 Census of Occupations for the number of nonagricultural gainful workers less
the number shown to have been unemployed for one week or more at
the time of the Census.
Comparable monthly data beginning 1929 for mining, construction, transportation and public utilities, government, military
and naval forces, and beginning 1935 for trade, are shown in
table 11, p. 17, of the March 1941 SURVEY. Data for other series shown in this table were subsequently revised. The revised
figures are available on request,

The nonagricultural employment estimates are adjusted for
seasonal variations by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, based on the unadjusted estimates of the U. S,
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Each of the
63 separate series which comprise the unadjusted total was adjusted separately if the series was found to have seasonal variation.
The adjusted series were then coinbined into groups and
totals comparable with those published for the unadjusted series,
including data for three groups not shown in the SURVEY on the

* Compiled by the V, S, Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, and are based upon reports from representative firms
covering approximately 50 industries from 1919 through 1922, approximately 60 industries from 1923 through 1930, and beginning
with 1931, about 90 industries. The indexes for all industries,
for durable-goods and nondurable-goods industries, and for aluminum manufactures (not shown separately here) have been adjusted to preliminary 1939 Census of Manufactures data. Indexes for
the aircraft industry and the transportation equipment group
have been adjusted on the basis of a complete survey of the aircraft industry made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for August
1940. The indexes for all other industries, except automobiles,
have been adjusted to conform with Census levels for the years
through 1937 (adjustment of these indexes to the 1939 Census
has not yet been completed).
Similar adjustments have been
made for the combined indexes for each of the 13 groups, and the
2 sub-groups under textiles, into which these industries are
classified.
The indexes for all manufacturing combined are
raised or lowered to the levels indicated for all industries
covered by the Federal Census of Manufactures and not merely
to those covered in the Bureau of Labor Statistics* survey. The
indexes for the groups likewise represent all of the industries
covered by the Federal Census and not merely the industries surveyed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics* indexes of employment and pay rolls in the automobile
industry were not adjusted to conform with 1935 and 1937 Census
totals as the reports to the Bureau by cooperating automobile
firms covered broader activities than were represented by Census
totals. Because of this the Bureau brought the Census transportation group figures to a comparable basis before revising the
group indexes.
The durable-goods indexes represent the industries in the following groups:
Iron and steel and the^ir products, not including machinery; machinery, not including transportation equipment; transportation equipment; nonferrous metals
and their products; lumber and allied products; and the stone,
clay, and glass products groups. The nondurable-goods indexes
represent all other manufacturing industries.
The establishments supplying monthly data to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics employ approximately 55 percent of all factory
wage earners of the country, and their combined reports indicate
the short-time trend in employment and pay rolls. Since the
indexes are adjusted to Federal Census of Manufactures d a t a
they also accurately reflect the long-time trend. The monthly
returns cover the pay period ending nearest the 15th of each
month. If the pay period reported covers more than 1 week, the
total earnings reported are reduced to the equivalent of 1 week's
earnings.
The combined index for the various groups and the
combined index for all groups are weighted according to the importance of the component industries and industry groups as
shown by the number of employees (for employment) and by the
amount of the pay roll (for pay rolls) in the base period, 192325, and are without seasonal adjustment. The combined index for
the industry groups given in this table include some Indus t ries
that are not shown separately. The base period used for these
indexes is the average for the 3 years 1923-25 taken as 100.
For a detailed description of the construction of these indexes and the first adjustment to the Federal Census of Manufactures for 1919 to 1931 refer to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Bulletin 610, "Revised Indexes of Factory Employment and
Pay Rolls, 1919-1933. " Since the publication of Bulletin 610,
however, the index numbers of factory employment and pay rolls
beginning with January 1931 have been further adjusted by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics to conform with the levels indicated
by the annual averages shown for the Federal Census of Manufactures data for 1933, 1935, 1937, and, in a few instances as
stated above, 1939.
These adjustments, although fundamentally
similar to that described in Bulletin 610, are a refinement over
the former method and are described in two mimeographed releases
dated September 1938 and September 1939, respectively, published
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics under the title of "Revised
Index Numbers of Factory Employment and Pay Rolls" and in the
mimeographed release of May 1940 entitled "Indexes of Factory
Employment and Pay Rolls." Because of changes in the composition
of certain industry groups at the 1933 and 1935 Censuses, it was
necessary for the Bureau of Labor Statistics to recompute the
indexes published in Bulletin 610 for total manufacturing and
for several of the industry groups back to 1919, and for the
durable- and nondurable-goods groups, and certain industry groups
back to 1923.
These revised indexes supersede those shown in
Bulletin 610 and are published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
in the mimeographed releases dated September 1938 and September
1939, entitled "Revised Index Numbers of Factory Employment and
Pay Rolls,*1
(See last paragraph of this note for the revised
indexes that are published in various issues of the SURVEY.) No
changes were made in the composition of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics* industries, groups, or total when the indexes were
adjusted to conform with the Census of Manufactures data for
1937.
In addition to the periodic adjustment of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics* indexes of employment and pay roils to conform with
Federal Census trends when complete data become available, revisions are made from time to time where a recheck of the basic
material shows that inclusion of late reports, the reallocation
of establishments from one industry classification to another,
the correction of mechanical errors, or the addition of data for
new firms, would affect the previously published monthly movement.
Series added in the SURVEY since the 1940 SUPPLEMENT include
machine tools, aircraft, and shipbuilding. For monthly data for
1923-37 for machine tools and shipbuilding and 1931-37 for aircraft, see tables 39 and 40, pp. 15 and 16, of the October 1 4 0

Compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia from
original reports collected monthly by the bank in cooperation
with the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The reports for Delaware cover one pay-roll period ending nearest
the 15th of the month, and all pay-roll data are reduced to a
weekly basis. The indexes, in a continuous series from 1923 to
date, are based upon reports from about 90 manufacturing plants
representing 36 industries.
The employment index represents
about 60 percent of the wage earners engaged in manufacturing
industries reported for the State in the Federal Census cf Manufactures for 1939; the pay-roll index represents approximately
66 percent of the wage p^yments. The indexes are constructed by
the use of the link-relative method from the combined totals for
the State, and are not weighted. The indexes are not adjusted
for seasonal variations, but they have been adjusted to conform
with the levels indicated by the data for wage earners and wages
of the Federal Census of Manufactures from 1923 through 1937.
The index for average we:ekly earnings also are constructed by the
link-relative method from dollar figures derived by dividing the
total pay roll for all reporting establishments in the State by
the average number of wage earners working during the pay-roll
period. These indexes, likewise, are not adjusted for seasonal
variations. Data for average weekly earnings are not collected
at the Federal Census of Manufactures'; therefore, no adjustment
has been made in the indexes since first constructed. The base
period used for all of the indexes is the average for the 3 years
1923-25 taken as 100.
Monthly data prior to 1938 previously published in the SURVEY
are comparable as follows: Employment and pay rolls for 1936
and 1937 in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; employment beginning with 1931
and pay rolls beginning with 1932 on p. 14 of the March 1940
SURVEY; employment and pay rolls for 1930 and pay rolls for 1931
on p. 20 of the March 1935 SURVEY; employment and pay roJLLs for
1928 and 1929 on p. 19 of the September 1933 SURVEY and for 1923
through 1927 in the 1 3 ! SUPPLEMENT. Monthly data prior to 1938

for average weekly cannings are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936,,
and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
Compiled by the Illinois Department of Labor, based upon
monthly reports from a sample group of 2,500 manufacturing establishments which report employment data for wage earners (production workers only) for the pay-roll period ending nearest the
15th of each month.
The total number of employees covered by
the reports from which the data for these indexes are obtained
is estimated to represent approximately 50 percent of tha total
number of persons employed in all Illinois manufacturing industries during the period since 1930. The reports prior to 1930
cover a somewhat smaller sample. While most firms report regularly each month, there is some variation in the sample from
month to month. The indexes for both Illinois and Chicsgo are
computed by the use of link relatives based on a comparison for
identical firms for 2 consecutive months. The indexes sire not
adjusted for seasonal variations and are not weighted.

The employment and pay-roll indexes for Illinois are revised to
Census trends as shown in the Census of Manufactures for the
years 1923 through 1935. No adjustment has been made to the 1937
and the 1939 Census dataa The method of revision used was similar to that formerly followed by the U. S. Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, commonly referred to as the increment
or straight line adjustment method. No similar revisions have
been made for the employment and pay-roll indexes for Chicago.
The indexes of average weekly earnings (Illinois only) are
computed by the fixed-base method and represent the relation of
average weekly earnings in the particular month to the average
weekly earnings for the 60-month period in the base years, 193539, which average was $24.96,
Earlier monthly employment and pay-roll indexes beginning 1923
for Illinois are available upon request. Monthly indexes on a
1935-39 base for average weekly earnings in Illinois and for
Chicago employment and pay rolls for 1935-37 may be obtained by
multiplying the indexes on a 1925-27 base, shown in the 1940 and
1938 SUPPLEMENTS, by the following conversion factors: Illinoisaverage weekly earnings, 1.1362; Chicago—employment, 1,3553;
pay rolls, 1,7073. The indexes on the old base for years prior
to 1935 should not be concerted as Census figures indicate a
downward bias in the data.
y
Compiled by the Iowa Bureau of Labor through June 1937 and,
since that date, carried forward by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce by the use of month- to-month percentage changes
for identical firms reported by that office. Currently the index is based upon monthly reports from approximately 420 concerns
engaged in manufacturing, trade, and public service (not governmental work) and various other nonmanufacturing industries, which
currently represent about 78,000 workers (executives only excluded) in the State, Approximately 73 percent, or 57,000 workers, are employed in the manufacturing industries and the remaining 27 percent in nonmanufacturing industries. Prior to October
1940 the sample consisted of about 300 concerns. Firms are requested to report the number of persons on their pay rolls as of
the 15th of the month or the closest prior pay day. The indexes
are constructed by the link-relative method and are based upon
reports of a list of firms which are identical for periods of 2
consecutive months. They are unweighted and have not been adjusted for seasonal variations or to the trends shown by the
Federal Census of Manufactures. The base period for these indexes is the average for the 3 years 1923-25 taken as 100.
Monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in the 1940, 1938, and
1936 SUPPLEMENTS and on p. 20 of the December 1936 SURVEY.
^ Compiled by the Commissioner of Labor and Statistics, Baltimore, Md. , based upon monthly reports from a representative list
of manufacturing establishments submitting pay-roll information
for 1 week ending nearest the 15th of the month. Data are for
factory wage earners only. The industry indexes are month-tomonth relatives, which in turn are compounded into chain relatives. The indexes are not adjusted for seasonal variations or
to the trends shown by the Federal Census of Manufactures. The
composite indexes are weighted by the relative importance of the
component industries as reported by the 1929 Federal Census of
Manufactures. The base period used for the indexes is the average for the 3 years 1929-31, Figures for Maryland (including 23
counties and Baltimore City), for the week ending nearest December 15, 1941, represented reports from 664 establishments
covering 43 industries, which employed 174,691 wage earners whose
combined weekly earnings amounted to $6,327,695. Based upon the
1939 Federal Census of Manufactures, the employment index for
that year represented about 70 percent of all the wage earners
engaged in manufacturing industries reported for the State, and
the pay-roll index represented 81 percent of the wage payments.
Figures for the Baltimore industrial area (including Baltimore
City and those parts of Baltimore, Anne Arundel, and Howard counties which directly affect the industrial life of Baltimore City)
for the week ending nearest December 15, 1941 represented reports from 470 establishments covering 41 industries, which employed 136,992 wage earners whose combined weekly earning?
amounted to $5,251,300. Based upon the 1939 Federal Census of
Manufactures, the employment index for that year represented 67
percent of all the wage earners engaged in manufacturing industries reported for that area, and the pay-roll index represented
76 percent of the wage payments.
Monthly data for Maryland, 1926-37, and for the Baltimore industrial area, 1929-37, are shown in the 1940, 1938, and 1936
SUPPLEMENTS, and on pp. 18 and 19 of the December 1932 SURVEY,
except for. revisions as follows: Maryland—employment, April
1937, 108.7; pay rolls, May 1937, 127.7; Baltimore — pay rolls,
February 1937, 108.7. Indexes of employment and pay rolls for
Maryland for 1924 and 1925, which have not been published on the
1929-31 base in the above SURVEYS, are available upon request.

1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY
6
Compiled by the Massachusetts Department of Labor and Industries, based upon data collected by that office in cooperation
with the U. S, Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
from a representative list of manufacturing establishments reporting regularly each month and submitting pay-roll information
for the week ending nearest the 15th of the month. Approximately
2,050 manufacturing establishments are covered by the reports,
or a representation of about 23 percent. These establishments
employed during the week of the 15th of December 1941, 4 2 9 4
6,4
wage earners, or about 75 percent of the total factory workers in
the State, and the amount paid for weekly wages was $14,451,056.
All workers in productive departments are included, but not executives or salaried officers, strictly supervisory employees,
technical or professional personnel.
The index numbers are computed by the link-relative method and
are adjusted to the annual State Census of Manufactures through
1938.
The index numbers since 1938, for both employment and
total amount paid in wages, are derived from weekly pay-roll figures reported directly to the compilers; theretofore, the total
amount of pay roll was derived from a computation of employment
times average weekly earnings, the latter figures being reported
directly. The indexes are unweighted and no adjustment is made
for seasonal variations. The base period used for these indexes
is the average for the 3 years 1925-27 taken as 100.
Comparable monthly indexes for 1926-36 for employment and pay
rolls and for 1926-34 for average weekly earnings are available
in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS, on p. 19 of the August
1933 SURVEY, and p. 18 of the December 1932 SURVEY. Revised
monthly indexes for 1937 for all series and also for 1935 and
1936 for weekly earnings, and indexes for 1925 are available
upon request.

Compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia on the
basis of original reports collected monthly by the bank from 1923
to 1926, and since 1926 by the New Jersey Bureau of Statistics
and records of the Department of Labor. The reports cover 1 payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month, and all spayroll data are reduced to a weekly basis* The indexes are based
upon reports from approximately 830 manufacturing plants representing 56 industries. The employment index represents about 60
percent of the wage earners engaged in manufacturing industries
reported for the State in the Federal Census of Manufactures for
1939, and the pay-roll index represents approximately 68 percent
of the wage payments. The indexes are constructed by the linkrelative method from the combined totals for the State, and are
not weighted. The indexes are not adjusted for seasonal variations, but they have been ad justed to conform with the levels indicated by the data for wage earners and wages of the Federal
Census of Manufactures from 1923 through 1937. The indexes for
average weekly earnings also are constructed by the link-relative
method from dollar figures derived by dividing the total pay roll
for all reporting establishments in the State by the average
number of wage earners working during the pay-roll period. These
indexes, likewise, are not adjusted for seasonal variations.
Data for average weekly earnings are not collected at the Federal
Census of Manufactures; therefore, no adjustment has been made
in the indexes since first constructed. The base period used for
all of the indexes is the average for the 3 years 1923-25 taken
as 100.
Monthly data prior to 1938 previously published in the SURVEY
are comparable as follows: Employment and pay rolls for 1936 and
1937 in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; employment beginning 1931, and pay
rolls beginning 1932 on p. 14 of the March 1940 SURVEY; employment and pay rolls for 1930 and pay rolls for 1931 on p. 20 of
the March 1935 SURVEY; employment and pay rolls for 1928 and 1929
on p. 19 of the September 1933 SURVEY; and employment and pay
rolls, 1923 through 1927 in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT. Monthly data
prior to 1938 i'or average weekly earnings are shown in the 1940,
1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the New York State Department of Labor, based
upon monthly rftports from a representative list of manufacturers
who employ approximately half of all factory workers in the
State. The reports cover 1 week nearest the 15th of the month.
The index has been revised to include shop workers only, excluding office workers. Executives and salesmen are also omitted
from the reports, and administrative and sales offices located
away from the plants are not covered. Foremen are included with
the shop. The list of reporting firms was expanded at the time
of revision.
In the expanded sample the clothing industries,
which were not adequately represented in the old index, appear
in approximately the same proportion that they would if 100 percent coverage of all industries were possible. The base has been
advanced to 1935-39 = 100* Average weekly earnings are computed
by dividing the aggregate of pay rolls by the aggregate of employees. Index numbers are computed by the fixed*base, fixedlist method; they are unweighted and are without adjustment for
seasonal variations.

Compiled by the Ohio State University. Bureau of Business
Research, based upon monthly reports from a representative list
of manufacturing establishments supplied by the U. S. Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The reports cover the pay
period ended nearest the 15th of the month. In December 1941 the
reporting plants employed approximately 600,000 wage earners.
Estimated on the basis of the 1939 Federal Census of Manufactures, the index for that year represented about 65 percent of
all factory wage earners of the State. The indexes are constructed by the link-relative method. They are not weighted, are
not adjusted for seasonal variations, and are not adjusted to the
level as shown by the Federal Census of Manufactures* The employment index is the same index which was formerly published in
the SURVEY with the exception that the base has been shifted from
average month 1926 = 100 to average month 1935:39 = 100.
Monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in table 7, p. 17, of the
March 1942 SURVEY.
10
Compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia from
original reports collected monthly by the bank in cooperation
with the 0. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Pennsylvania
Department of Labor and Industry. The reports cover 1 pay-roll
period ending nearest the 15th of the month, and all pay-roll
data are reduced to a weekly basis. The indexes, in a continuous
series from 1923 to date, are based upon reports from over 2,800
manufacturing plants representing 68 major industries. Estimated
upon the basis of the 1939 Federal Census of Manufactures, the
employment index for that year represented about 71 percent of
the wage earners in manufacturing industries reported for the
State, and the pay-roll index represented approximately 79 percent of the wage payments. The indexes are constructed by the
use of the fixed-base method, and are weighted according to the
relative importance of each industry to all manufacturing industries in the State. The indexes are not adjusted for seasonal variations, but they have been adjusted to conform with the
levels indicated by the data for wage earners and wages of the
Federal Census of Manufactures from 1923 through 1937. The indexes for average weekly earnings also are constructed by the
link-relative method from dollar figures derived by dividing the
total pay roll for all reporting establishments in the State by
the average number of wage earners working during the pay-roll
period. These indexes, likewise, are not adjusted for seasonal
variations* Data for average weekly earnings are not collected
at the Federal Census of Manufactures; therefore, no adjustment
has been madei in the indexes since first constructed. The base
period used for all of the indexes is the average for the 3 years
1923-25 taken as 100.
Monthly data prior to 1938 previously published in the SURVEY
are comparable as follows: Emplo^yment and pay rolls for 1936 and
1937 in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT except for a revision in employment
for December 1937, 68.4; employment and pay rolls beginning with
1932 on p. 14 of the March 19*0 SURVEY, for 1930 and 1931 on p.
20 of the March 1935 SURVEY, and 1923 through 1929 on p. 19 of
the September 1933 SURVEY; average weekly earnings are shown in
the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the Industrial Commission of Wisconsin, based
upon monthly reports from representative manufacturers in Wisconsin who submit pay-roll information for 1 week ending nearest
the 15th of the month. Wage earners only are included. Data for
the canning and preserving industry and for railroad repair shops
have been excluded from the figures for Wisconsin for all years.
The employment and pay-roll indexes for Wisconsin from August
1929 through July-1937are weighted relatives of total employment
and total weekly pay rolls in the current month to total employment and total weekly pay rolls in the base period (1925-27) for
the same manufacturing establishments for any single month.
Since July 1937, the index numbers are relatives of computed
total employment anc$ computed total weekly pay rolls for the
current month to total employment and total weekly pay rolls for
the base period (1925-27).
The computed totals of employment
and pay rolls for each current month are obtained by applying
monthly percentage changes shown by data of the reporting establishments in each line of industry to the respective computed
totals for the previous month,
The indexes have been adjusted to conform with data on wage
earners and wages for Wisconsin manufacturing industries reported by the Federal Census of Manufactures for the years 1925-29;
index numbers computed from data of reporting establishments were
not adjusted for 1931-35; for 1937 indexes were adjusted to an estimate obtained from data on "covered workers*'as reported under the
Wisconsin Unemployment Reserves and Compensation Act. The indexes
are not adjusted for seasonal variations. Reporting establishments
in July 1939 covered about 80 percent of total wage earners and 83
percent of total pay rolls in manufacturing industries reported for
the year by the 1939 Federal Census of Manufactures.
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OP CURRENT BUSINESS
Average weekly earnings of wage earners in Wisconsin manufacturing industries are computed by the Commission based on estimates of aggregate employment and aggregate pay rolls in manufacturing. The index numbers are computed by the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce by relating dollar figures on average weekly earnings in a given month or year to the average weekly earnings for the base period, 1925-27.
Indexes for the city of Milwaukee from August 1929 through July
1937 are unweighted relatives of total employment and total weekly pay rolls in the current month to total employment and total
weekly pay rolls in the base period for the same manufacturing
establishments. Since July 1937, the index numbers are computed
by linking the unweighted monthly percentage changes in employment and pay rolls shown by data of reporting establishments.
There are no establishments in the canning and preserving industry reporting employment and pay-roll data in the city of Milwaukee. Data for railroad repair shops have been excluded from the
Milwaukee data since February 1938; prior to that time, data for
1 railroad repair shop were included in the Milwaukee figures.
The indexes are not adjusted to conform with trends shown by data
for manufacturing industries reported by the Federal Census of
Manufactures and they are not adjusted for seasonal variations.
The number of wage earners employed by manufacturing establishments reporting for July 1939 was 88 percent of the average for
the year reported by the Federal Census of Manufactures; the
total weekly pay roll of the same reporting establishments was
90 percent of the average annual weekly pay roll as reported by
the Census.
Comparable monthly data prior to 1938 for the revised series
for employment and pay rolls and average weekly earnings in Wisconsin are available upon request. Comparable monthly data for
the period August 1929 through 1938 for Milwaukee are shown in
the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS, and on p. 18 of the Eecember 1932 SURVEY. The indexes for employment from January 1926
through July 1929 in the December 1932 SURVEY are not strictly
comparable with the indexes for subsequent months and for this
reason are no longer published by the Industrial Commission of
Wisconsin.

Compiled by the Bureau of Business Research, Ohio State University, from special tabulations supplied by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, United States Department of Labor. The tabulations
are based on reports of employment and pay rolls from manufacturing establishments located in the Cleveland metropolitan area.
Figures are reported fox 1 week ending nearest the 15th of the
month. Data are for wage earners, including working foremen, and
gang and straw bosses. Indexes of employment and pay rolls for
the year 1941 are based on reports from about 570 firms enipioying an average of 125,000 wage earners whose total average weekly
earnings were $4,628,900. In 1939, the employment indexes (covering 79,900 wage earners) represented 57 percent of all wage
earners reported in the 1939 Federal Census of Manufactures as
being engaged in manufacturing industries in the Cleveland industrial area. The indexes are computed by the link-relative method
based on comparison of identical firms for 2 consecutive months,
are not adjusted for seasonal variations or to the trend as indicated by the Federal Census of Manufactures, and are not
weighted by industry weights. The indexes are computed on a
1935-39 base.
Monthly data for employment beginning 1921 and pay rolls beginning March 1931 are available on request.
The employment index shown here has been substituted for the
index compiled by the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, formerly
included in the SURVEY, in order to have comparable series for
employment and pay rolls. No index of pay rolls is computed
by the Chamber of Commerce.
y
Compiled by the Detroit Board of Commerce, based upon monthly
returns from 62 representative manufacturing establishments covering an area which approximates Wayne County. The reports are
for the number of men employed on the last day of each month.
Based upon the 1939 Federal Census of Manufactures, the wage
earners employed for that year represented about 70 percent of
all the factory worker:; in that area. Data have not been adjusted to the trends shown by the Federal Census of Manufactures,
but a comparison revealed that they were reasonably consistent.
The index numbers are computed by the fixed-base, fixed-list
method; they are not adjusted for seasonal variations, and are
not weighted. The indexes are based upon the average for 156
weekly reports for the 3 years 1923-25 taken as 100.

Compiled by the New York State Department of Labor, based
upon monthly reports from representative lists of manufacturers who employ approximately 25 percent of factory workers in New
York City. Beginning with 1935 the reports cover 1 week nearest
the 15th of the month, and for prior years the weeks including
the 15th of the month. These reports include employees in both
office and shop. Executives and salesmen are omitted from the
reports, and administrative and sales offices located away from
the plants are not covered. Foremen are included with the shop.
The list of reporting firms has remained theoretically identical
since the fixed list was established in January 1917, excepting
one general revision made in January 1930.
Index numbers are
computed by the fixed-base, fixed-list method; they are unweighted and are without adjustment for seasonal variations. The base
period used is the average for the 3 years 1925-27. These indexes are in the process of revision to a 1935-39 base. Comparable
monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936,
and, except pay rolls, in the 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. Earlier monthly

Compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia from
original reports collected monthly by the bank in cooperation
with the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Pennsylvania
Department of Labor and Industry. The reports represent the
Philadelphia industrial area (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties), and cover 1 pay-roll period
ending nearest the 15th of the month. All pay-roll figures are
reduced to a weekly basis. The indexes, in a continuous series
from 1923 to date, are based upon reports from about 1,100 manufacturing plants representing 78 major industries. Th© employment index represented about 64 percent of the wage earners
engaged in manufacturing industries reported for that area in
the Federal Census of Manufactures for 1939, and the pay-roll
index represented approximately 71 percent of the wage payments.
The indexes are constructed by the use of the fixed-base method
from the combined totals for the area as a whole, and are not
weighted. The indexes are not adjusted for seasonal variations,
but they have been adjusted to conform with the levels indicated
by the data for wage earners and wages of the Federal Census of
Manufactures from 1923 through 1937.
The base period used for
all of the indexes is the average for the 3 years 1923-25 taken
as 100.
Monthly data prior to 1938 previously published in the SURVEY
are comparable as follows:
Employment and pay rolls for 1936
and 1937 in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT except for a revision in employment in October 1936, 92,7; employment and pay rolls beginning
1932 on p. 14 of the March 1940 SURVEY, for 1930 and 1931 on p.

Compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia from
original reports collected monthly by the bank in cooperation
with the U. S, Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Pennsylvania
Department of Labor and Industry. The reports represent the
Pittsburgh industrial area (Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler,
Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland Counties) and cover 1 pay-roll period ending nearest the 15th of the month. All
pay-roll figures are reduced to a weekly basis. The indexes, in
a continuous series from 1923 to date, are based upon reports
from nearly 470 manufacturing plants representing 59 major industries. The employment index represents about 76 percent of the
wage earners engaged in manufacturing industries reported for
that area in the Federal Census of Manufactures for 1939, and
the pay-roll index represents approximately 79 percent of the
wage payments. The indexes are constructed by the use of the
fixed-base method from the combined totals for the area as a
whole, and are not weighted. The indexes are not adjusted for
seasonal variations, but they have been adjusted to conform with
the levels indicated by the data for wage earners and wages of
the Federal Census of Manufactures from 1923 through 1937.
The
base period used for all of the indexes is the average for the
3 years 1923-25 as 100.
Monthly data prior to 1938 previously published in the SURVEY .

The St. Louis metropolitan district index of factory employment is computed monthly by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics, from the reports of about 600 manufacturing
establishments in the district. Factory wage earners employed in
these establishments represented 70 percent of all such employees
in the district according to the Census of Manufactures, 1939.
The index represents the employment of factory wage earners in
approximately all manufacturing industries in St. Louis.
The area used is the St. Louis metropolitan district as defined
by the Census of Population, 1930. The district includes St.
Louis City and parts of St. Louis and St, Charles counties in
Missouri and parts of Madison and St. Clair counties in Illinois.
The index represents all full- and part-time wage earners employed during the pay-roll period ending nearest the middle of
each month.
In order to avoid showing exaggerated changes in
employment due to the rapidly expanding aircraft and ordnance
firms in the unweighted sample, such establishments were weighted
separately in the index. The index has been adjusted to the 1939
Census of Manufactures.
Monthly data for 1937 are available on request.

Compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia from
original reports collected monthly by the bank in cooperation
with the U, S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The reports represent
the Wilmington industrial area (New Castle County) and cover 1
pay-roll period ending nearest the 15th of the month. All payroll figures are reduced to a weekly basis. The indexes, in a
continuous series from 1923 to date, are based upon reports from
approximately 75 manufacturing plants representing 34 major industries. The employment index represents about 70 percent of
the wage earners engaged in manufacturing industries reported for
that area in the Federal Census of Manufactures for 1939, and the
pay-roll index represents approximately 73 percent of the wage
payments. The indexes are constructed by the use of the fixedbase method from the combined totals for the area as a whole,
and are not weighted. The indexes are not adjusted for seasonal
variations, but they have been adjusted to conform with the
levels indicated by the data for wage earners and wages of the
Federal Census of Manufactures from 1923 through 1937. The base
period used for all of the indexes is the average for the 3 years
1923-25 taken as 100.
Monthly data prior to 1938 previously published in the SURVEY
are comparable as follows:
Employment and pay roils for 1936
and 1937 in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; employment beginning 1931 and
pay rolls beginning 1930 on p, 14 of the March 1940 SURVEY; employment 1923 through 1930 and pay rolls 1923 through 1929 on p.
20 of the November 1936 SURVEY.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, and, with the exception of information for the
anthracite-mining industry (which is obtained through the Anthracite Institute), are based upon monthly reports received directly
from reporting firms or through State bureaus. The returns cover
the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
If the pay
period reported covers more than 1 week, the total -earnings reported are reduced to the equivalent of 1 week's earnings. The
industry indexes are month-to-month link relatives, which, in
turn, are compounded into chain relatives; they are not adjusted
for seasonal variations, and with the exception of the composite
index for retail trade, are unweighted.
Pertinent information relative to each of the nonmanufacturing
industries is shown in separate notes. Since the number of
establishments and the amount of employment vary from month to
month, the figures quoted in these notes for the number of reporting establishments and the percentage that the number of
persons employed by them is of the total employment in the industry, are estimates based upon data reported in December 1941.
The base period used for the indexes of employment and pay rolls
for all of the nonmanufacturing industries is the 12-month average for the year 1929.
Basic statistics (not index numbers) for employment and pay
rolls by States for the nonmanufacturing industries shown in this
SUPPLEMENT and data by months and by States for the brokerage,
insurance, and building-construction industries, not shown in
this SUPPLEMENT and for which index numbers are not available,
are shown in the "Monthly Labor Review" and a bulletin entitled
"Employment arid Pay Rolls," published monthly by the U. S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics through December 1941 and semiannually (June
and December) beginning 1942.
For references to comparable monthly data prior to 1938, see
note 12 for this page and notes 2, 3, and 4 for p. 46.

Data for anthracite mining, as previously stated, are obtained through the Anthracite Institute, and cover approximately
90 mines situated in Pennsylvania; employees represent about 80
percent of the estimated wage earners in the industry. The wage
earners in approximately 1,200 bituminous-coal mines reporting
comprise about: 67 percent of the estimated total employed in the
industry; approximately 400 metal mines report about 91 percent
of the estimated total; and in approximately 1,100 quarries and
nonmetallic mines the sample includes about 85 percent of the
estimated total. In the crude-petroleum industry, reports were
received from approximately 500 establishments employing about
39,000 workers; Federal Census data are not available for this
industry, consequently the approximate coverage can not be supplied. Employment data for all mining industries represent wage
earners only, excluding clerical workers, executives, managerial,
supervisory, technical, or professional personnel, except for
the crude-petroleum producing industry, in which employees engaged in rig building and the drilling of new wells are excluded, but the clerical field force is included.
The indexes for anthracite and bituminous-coal-mining industries have been adjusted to conform with the trends indicated by
the annual data for wage earners and wages for these industries
available from the Federal Census of Mines for 1929 and 1935.
Since Census data for these two industries are not available for
years between 1929 and 1935, a 7-year adjustment method was used
to bring the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' indexes for 1935
into conformity with the movements indicated by Census data over
the period.
Comparable monthly data for 1936 and 1937 are shown in the 1940
SUPPLEMENT, and prior to 1936 for the mining industries, except
anthracite and bituminous-coal mining, are shown in the 1938,
1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS; anthracite and bituminous-coal mining
are shown on p. 19 of the August 1938 SURVEY. See also note 11

Reports are received from about 13,000 public utility establishments representing all employees, excluding corporation officers and executives. The coverage for electric light and power
is about 95 percent of the industry; street railways and busses,
about 65 percent; and telephone and telegraph, about 75 percent.
Data for the 3 public utilities have been adjusted to conform
in general with the Census of Electrical Industries for 1932 and
1937 and supersede those formerly published in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT. In the electric light and power and street railway industries, the revisions resulted from changes in the composition of
the sample used, as well as from adjustments to Census data. The
indexes for electric light and power relate to commercial establishments only and exclude manufactured gas which had been included in the former electric light and power and manufactured
gas industry. The composition of the street railway and busses
industry (formerly entitled electric-railroad and motor-bus operation and maintenance) has been supplemented by the inclusion
of data for electric-railroad repair shops. The indexes cover,
in general, both private and municipal street railway companies
and affiliated, subsidiary, or successor trolley-bus and motorbus companies.
For earlier monthly data see table 19, p. 17, of the April 1940
SURVEY, except for street railways and busses beginning 1932,
which were subsequently revised as shown in table 27, p. 17, of
the May 1940 issue. See also note 11 for p. 45.
^ Reports for dyeing and cleaning plants and for laundries
include plant operatives, drivers, or route men, engineers, firemen, porters, janitors, watchmen, and elevator operators. Office
employees, executives, managerial, supervisory, technical or
professional personnel, clerical workers, and employees in
agencies are excluded. Reports from approximately 900 dyeing
and cleaning plants cover about 27 percent of the estimated number of workers in the United States total for this industry, and
reports from approximately 1,300 laundries about 34 percent.
The indexes for dyeing and cleaning establishments and for laundries have been adjusted to conform with the trends indicated
by the annual data for wage earners and wages for these industries available from the U. S. Bureau of the Census for 1929,
1931, and 1935.
These indexes, which had previously been adjusted to the 1931 Census levels, had not been adjusted to 1933
Census data due to the incompleteness of the Census survey for
that year. Reports from approximately 2,000 year-round hotels
cover about 50 percent of all employees, except corporation officers and executives, estimated as the total employed in yearround hotels having 25 or more guest rooms; indexes have been
adjusted to conform with the trends indicated by the annual data
for wage earners and wages (cash payments only, not including
value of board, room, and tips) for this industry available from
the U. S. Bureau of the Census for 1929, 1933, and 1935.
Comparable monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in the 1940
SUPPLEMENT and on p. 19 of the August 1938 SURVEY. See also note

Reports for retail and wholesale trade cover all employees
except corporation officers, executives, and other employees
whose duties are mainly supervisory. Reports from approximately
50,500 retail establishments cover about 31 percent of the estimated total workers engaged in this industry; reports from approximately 14,800 wholesale concerns represent about 23 percent
of the estimated total employees in wholesale trade. The indexes
for wholesale trade have been adjusted to conform with the trend
of the U. S. Census for 1929 and 1933.
The retail trade indexes shown here represent a revision of
the data in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT. They have been adjusted to
conform in general with the levels indicated by the Census of
Retail Distribution of 1929, 1933, and 1935. Separate indexes
have been computed for 28 individual lines of trade, 7 groups,
and the total* Indexes otF employment and pay rolls were computed
by lines of trade, and adjusted to conform with the various censuses. The group indexes were computed by weighting the indexes
for the component lines in the group, the weight factors representing total employment or weekly pay rolls in £he indeas base
period, 1929. These group indexes were then adjusted to Census
trends where necessary arid weighted by the 1929 group weights to
secure total retail trade indexes. Data for second-hand stores,
restaurants, and garages are not included.
Comparable monthly data prior to 1938 for wholesale trade are
shown in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS, and on p. 20 of
the March 1935 SURVEY. (See 1929 figures in footnote at bottom
of p. 20, March 1935 SUIRVEY. ) Earlier monthly data for retail
trade are shown in table 19, p. 17 of the April 1940 SURVEY.

Compiled by the Ohio State University, Bureau of Business
Research, based upon monthly reports from firms engaged in general private building construction, supplied by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Reports are for the
week including the 15th of the month and cover all skilled and
unskilled wage earners, foremen and gang bosses who work sit the
site, erecting, altering or repairing privately-financed buildings (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.). The indexes
are based upon reports from over 1,300 firms which in December
1941 employed approximately 15,000 wage earners. The indexes are
constructed by the link-relative method. They are not weighted,
and are not adjusted for seasonal variations. This is the same
index that was formerly published in the SUPPLEMENT except that
the base period has been shifted from the average month 1926 = 100
to the monthly average 1935-39 = 100.
Comparable monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in table 7, p,
17, of the March 1942 SURVEY.

Compiled by the Federal Works Agency, Public Roads Administration, and represent the number of persons employed on various
classes of road work under the supervision of Federal and State
agencies. Prior to 1940 the figures cover only persons, other
than supervisory and engineering, engaged directly on road work;
beginning with January 1940, the total includes also data for
State engineering, supervisory, and administrative employment
which are not shown separately in the SURVEY. The figures for
road construction represent those employed on Federal (national
forest and national park), Federal-aid, State, and State-aid
roads; those for maintenance are for persons employed on State
roads only. Data represent the average number of persons reported during the month on each project. Comparable data for the
series shown here are available by months for States, and employment,for the? various clashes of road construction mentioned above
also are published by the Public Roads Administration by months
and by States.
Comparable monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in the 1940,
1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS and on p. 19 of the June 1933 SURVEY.

Compiled by the V. S. Civil Service Commission and represent
the number of civil employees in the executive branch of the
Federal Government, including administrative personnel paid from
emergency relief appropriations. Figures include both permanent
and temporary employees and occupants of classified positions
(subject to competitive examination under civil-service law) and
unclassified positions (excepted from competitive examination by
law and Executive Order). Figures do not include project personnel paid from emergency irelief appropriations, enrollees of the
Civilian Conservation Corps, military (uniformed) personnel or
employees of the judicial and legislative branches of the Federal
Government, or the employees of the District of Columbia Government, The data through May 1937 (in italics), except for 1918,
are for the number of persons having Federal appointments on the
last day of the month regardless of whether or not they received
any pay in the month in which they were reported; beginning June
1937 data are for the num'ber of emplpyees who receive pay during
the last pay-roll period of the month, and all employees who are
on leave without pay, on furlough, on a dollar per year basis, or
who serve without pay, are eliminated. For comparison, figures
195
for June 1937 on the former basis were 841,664 total civil
employees and 115,409 civil employees in the District of Columbia, and for July 1937, 826,500 total civil employees and
114,359 civil employees in the District of Columbia, Data for
years prior to 1926 in this table are not "monthly averages" for
the year as indicated, but represent the number of civil employees as of a specified date as indicated in notes 8, 9, and 10*
The monthly averages for the years 1925 through 1936 and for
1938-41 were computed from the monthly figures; an average for
the entire year 1937 was not computed in this table because of
the break in the series. The statistics shown here, classified
according to department or office, permanent and temporary, and
a separate class for those "Outside District of Columbia" subdivided into permanent and temporary, are published by the U. S.
Civil Service Commission,
Monthly data for 1932-37 (except for minor revisions for JulyDecember 1937) are available in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS; data by months prior to 1932 may be obtained upon request

those on the pay roll at the middle of the month. Statistics
for the separate classes of employees (executives, officials,
etc.) are not available prior to July 1921, and for this reason
figures for the years 1913 to 1921 comparable with those for
later years shown here cannot be compiled. Data for total employment (including all classes) for years prior to 1922 are
published by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Index numbers

(executives, officials, etc.) but which exclude the switching
and terminal companies of such railways, also are shown in this
SUPPLEMENT.
Comparable monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in the 1940,

more than 650 daily papers, labor papers, and trade journals, as
well as from all Government labor boards. Letters are sent to
representatives of parties in the disputes asking for detailed
and authentic information to substantiate these published reports.
Since answers to some of these letters are not received promptly,
the figures given for the late months are not final. Strikes involving fewer than 6 workers or lasting less than 1 day are not
included. The term "strike"is here used in the generic sense to
include all stoppages of work because of labor disputes, whether
initiated by the employers (lockouts) or by the workers. The
data represent the number of strikes beginning in month, and
those in progress during the month. Other series showing data
for strikes "ended in the month, " as well as analyses by industries, States, number of workers involved, causes, results, duration, and methods of regulating settlements, are published by
the U. S. Department of Labor in the "Monthly Labor Reviaw, "

placement activities, contains the applications of all persons
who are currently considered by the employment office as available for referral to job openings. Data on placements cover all
verified acceptances by an employer of a person for a job as a
direct result of employment service activities. Placements as
shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT beginning October 1938 covered only
"complete" placements, that is, placements in which all job
placement steps, including registration, had been taken. The
data as shown here have been revised to include also placements
classified separately for October 1938 to December 1941 as
"supplementary" because of the omission of one or more of the
steps (in most cases registration) necessary for a complete
placement. The placements classified as *'supplementary" were
largely in agricultural jobs.
Monthly data for 1936 and 1937 for all series under placement
activities are shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; 1934 and 1935 data
for active file and placements are available in the 1938 SUPPLEMENT; monthly data prior to 1936 for new and renewed applications
and for the period July-December 1933 for placements are available on request.
The figures for unemployment activities include, except as
noted, operations in all States, the District of Columbia, Alaska,
and Hawaii, in which benefits were payable. However, any interpretation made of these data must take into consideration variations in the number of States initiating benefit payments at any
given time; benefits were payable in Wisconsin only in 1936 and
1937; in 23 States in January 1938; 25 States in April 1938; 29
States in, September 1938; 31 States in December 1938; and in January 1939 in all States except Illinois and Montana (benefits
first payable in these States in July 1939), and in the District
of Columbia, Alaska, and Hawaii*
?
A "continued claim" represents a certification of a period of
unemployment which is applicable to waiting-period requirements
or which may be compensable, if waiting-period requirements have
been served. Data shown exclude the following States for the
period indicated: California, Maine, and Oregon for January
1938; Massachusetts and Virginia for January-March 1938; New York
for January 1938-March 1939; Indiana for May-June 1938; Maine
reported continued claims for total unemployment only during February and March 1938.

For 1939 data for "individuals receiving benefit payments"
relate to the number of claimants receiving benefits during the
week ended nearest the middle of the month; beginning 1940, they
represent the average number of weeks of unemployment compensated
during weeks ended within the month.
9
"Amount of benefit payments" represents gross amount of benefit payments and contains no adjustment for returned and voided
benefit checks. Annual totals of the net amount of benefits
paid during 1938-41 are as follows: 1938, $393,786,000; 1939,
$429,298,000; 1940, $518,700,000; 1941, $344,321,000.

1941 employed approximately 4,200,000 workers. Reporting
establishments are requested to omit office employees, when
practicable, but to include temporary help, part-time workers,
and employees in training. These data represent a general rate
each month for all of the manufacturing industries combined, in
which a balanced proportion is given to the several industries
included. The items of separation and accession are divided by
the average number on the pay roll and multiplied by 100 to get
the rate per 100 employees for the month. In compiling the
rates, the actual numbers for the several establishments are
added and the general rates computed from the grand total. The
definitions adopted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the
various captions used in this table are as follows: An accession
means the hiring of a new employee or the rehiring of an old
employee; a discharge is a termination of employment at the will
of the employer, with prejudice to the worker because of some
fault on the part of the worker; a lay-off is a termination of
employment at the will of the employer, without prejudice to the
worker (a permanent lay-off, a long lay-off, an indefinite layoff and a short, definite lay-off with name of the worker removed
from the pay roll, are counted by the Bureau as lay-offs; but a
short, definite lay-off with the name of the worker remaining
on the pay roll is not counted as a separation). A quit is a
termination of employment initiated by the worker because of his
desire to leave. Miscellaneous separations include separations
caused by death, permanent disability, retirement on pension, and
extended leave; beginning September 1940, workers leaving to enter the Army or Navy are included. Prior to January 1 4 miscel90
laneous separations were combined with data for quits. Transfers
from one plant to another of the same company are not considered
accessions or separations.
In addition to the general rates for all of the manufacturing
industries combined as shown in this SUPPLEMENT, the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, publishes in the
"Monthly Labor Review" turn-over rates (per 100 employees) for
selected individual manufacturing industries. A more detailed
description of this series and method of computation are published in the July 1937 "Monthly Labor Review."
Comparable monthly data prior to 1936 are shown in the 1938

representative manufacturing establishments. In June 1929, the
first month for which comparable data are available, approximately 400 manufacturing establishments covering 75 industries employing roughly 700,000 workers formed the basis of the series.
Since that time, the scope of the survey has been gradually
broadened until at present there are approximately 8 5 0 manufac,0

Compiled by the National Industrial Conference Board, based
upon monthly reports from a representative list of manufacturers.
The reports cover pay-roll data for the first full week in each
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
month, or, if a generally recognized holiday falls in that week,
for the succeeding week. Wherever a plant *s pay roll is not reported weekly, but semimonthly or monthly, the figures are reduced by the Conference Board to a weekly basis, taking into
account any holidays that may fall in the periods covered«, Information is requested for wage earners only; all executives,
office and sales force, foremen and their assistants, if piaid on
a salary basis, are excluded.
Wage data are for cash payments
only and do not take into consideration the value of such wage
equivalents as reduced or free house rents or other special services rendered by the company to employees. Current data cover
2,000 manufacturing plants representing 25 industries, which
in December 1941 employed about 2,553,000 wage earners. Based
upon the 1937 Federal Census of Manufactures, the number off wage
earners for that year represented 51 percent of all the factory
wage earners for the United States in the 25 industries, The
averages are computed by weighting the average weekly earnings,
average hourly earnings, or the average actual hours per week in
each industry according to the relative importance of the industry as revealed by the Federal Census of Manufactures for 1923.
A detailed explanation of the methods used in the computation
of each series of figures is published by the National Industrial
Conference Board in a report entitled "Wages. Hours, and Eiirrployment in the United States, 1914-1936."
Although the National Industrial Conference Board's series represent only 25 manufacturing industries, the data are available
prior to 1932 whereas similar data compiled by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, covering a larger
number of industries, aliso shown herein, are not available prior
to 1932 except for certain annual data recently published by the
Bureau and here included in the SURVEY for the first time,, The
series published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics is the more
comprehensive, but a comparison of data available for the two
series shows that the general movements are the same for both;
the Bureau of Labor Statistics* series shows more pronounced
month-to-month fluctuations.
The series shown in this and the 1940 SUPPLEMENT include revised data beginning with January 1934 occasioned by (1) the receipt from cooperators of additional reports covering 1938, and
(2) by the adjustment of the averages for the automobile industry
to conform with data co:inpiled by the Automobile Manufacturers
Association which cover practically the entire automobile-andbody manufacturing industry.
Monthly data prior to 1938 previously published in the SURVEY
are comparable as follows: 1936 and 1937 in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT;
beginning 1934 on p. 18 of the January 1940 SURVEY; for 1932 and
1933 in the 1936 SUPPLEMENT, and 1914 through 1931 on pp. 17 and
18 of the October 1936 SURVEY.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, from monthly returns which cover the pay period ending nearest the 15th of each month. If the pay period reported
covers more than one week, the total earnings reported aire reduced to the equivalent of 1 week's earnings. The number of
establishments reporting monthly data on which the averages are
based varies and, therefore, the averages shown are not strictly
comparable. The reporting "sample," however, is in practically
all instances large enough to be representative of the industry
generally.
The average weekly earnings do not represent fulltime earnings inasmuch as the data from which they are computed
include full-time and part-time workers. Overtime premiums are
also included. The average weekly hours and the average hourly
earnings are derived from somewhat smaller "samples" than the
average weekly earnings because some firms report employment
and pay rolls, but do not report the number of man-hours. The
average weekly hours and the average hourly earnings for all
manufacturing industries, the durable-goods and the nondurablegoods groups, the 13 major groups under durable and nondurable
goods, and the two subgroups under textiles are weighted figures.
The average weekly earnings are unweighted. The figures for average weekly earnings differ from the product of average weekly
hours and average hourly earnings because the weekly earnings are
derived from somewhat larger "samples" and because they are unweighted.
The data shown in this SUPPLEMENT are the revised series recently published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and shown for
the first time in the SURVEY beginning with the January 1940
issue.
It differs from the series published previously as a
result of (1) the omission of data for the railroad repair-shop
group, discontinued as «a part of the manufacturing series in
1938, and (2) the application of a more refined system of weighting in constructing the revised average hours and hourly earnings.
Revisions also have been made in several of the separate industries surveyed, because of changes in the composition of the industry, the reclassification of establishments, and the addition
of late reports.
197
Comparable monthly data beginning 1932 for all industries, and
durable- and nondurable-goods industries are shown on p. 17 of the
January 1940 SURVEY. Besides these classifications, monthly data
beginning January 1932 for average weekly and hourly earnings,
and average hours worked per week, classified by separate industries, the 13 groups under durable and nondurable goods, and the
two subgroups under textiles, have been published by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics in Bulletin No, 697 under the title of "Hours
and Earnings in the United States, 1932-40, "with supplement for
1941. The same publication contains a more complete description
of the revisions and the methods used in the construction of the
series.
The figures for all industries prior to 1932, shown for the
first time in this SUPPLEMENT, are available only on an annual
basis. Figures of average hourly earnings were computed from
the numerous wage and hour reports of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that agency's employment and pay-roll statistics, and the
Bureau of the Census reports on employment, pay rolls, and prevailing hours. The weekly earnings series was computed from
Bureau of the Census and Bureau of Labor Statistics reports of
total pay rolls and average employment. Weekly hours were computed from the figures of weekly earnings and hourly earnings.
Each of the three series was linked by the 1932 ratio to the
corresponding Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly series beginning in that year. For a detailed description see t h e article
on pp. 517-544 of the September 1940 Monthly Labor Review, issued
by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

^ Compiled by the Engineering News-Record and represents the
hourly wages of both common and skilled labor in the construction industry as of the 1st of each month. The data are compiled
from monthly reports of correspondents in 20 cities as follows:
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Atlanta, Birmingham,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City,
Dallas, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Pittsburgh, and New Orleans. Both the skilled and common rates
are arithmetic averages of wages actually paid in the 20 cities.
Union wages actually paid are used, except where nonunion jobs
predominate. In some instances it has been necessary to average
the rates for union and nonunion, where both exist. The skilled
rates are the average of three principal trades —carpenters,
bricklayers, and structural ironworkers—in heavy construction.
Comparable monthly data prior to 1938 are in the 1940, 1938,
and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS, and on p. 19 of the September 1933 SURVEY.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, based upon reports submitted by a varying number (21,000 at the end of 1941) of crop reporters to the
Bureau's regional offices, and represent the average farm wage
rate (without board) for hired labor on farms of these crop reporters. Prior to 1923 the inquiry regarding farm wages was made
annually; beginning with 1923, it has been made quarterly on the
1st of January, April, July, and October.
The yearly averages
through 1922 are weighted average wage rates for the year; beginning with 1923 they are weighted average wage rates obtained as
follows: Quarterly figures for each region are weighted by estimates of the number of hired farm employees to obtain the quarterly average for the country as a whole; the quarterly rates
are weighted by the total number of hired farm employees in each
quarter to obtain the annual averages. A complete description
of the inquiries made for farm wage rates and data prior to 1913
for the series here presented are available in reports of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture. The original reports include
also average monthly wage rates with board, average wage rates
per day with and without board, and index numbers based upon a
weighted average wage rate per month.
Comparable quarterly data prior to 1938 are available in the
1940 SUPPLEMENT and table 53, p. 18, of the November 1939 SURVEY.

railways, including the switching and terminal companies of these
railways. These data were computed from the number of persons
(excluding executives, officials, and staff assistants) on the
pay roll at the middle of the month. Statistics for separate
classes of employees (executives, officials, etc.) are not available prior to July 1921, and for this reason figures for the
years 1913 to 1921, comparable with those for later years shown
here, can npt be computed. Data for average hourly earnings (including all classes) for years prior to 1922 are published by
the Interstate Commerce Commission. The changes in the average
hourly earnings during 1934 were due in part to the restoration
of 1/4 of the 10-percent wage cut made in 1932.
The partial
restoration was effective July 1, 1934. Another 1/4 of the 10percent cut was restored on January 1, 1935, and the remainder
was restored on April 1, 1935.
It should be borne in mind that
the average hourly earnings are affected by changes in the proportion of employees in each wage group, as well as by changes
in wage rates.
Comparable monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in the 1940,
1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS, and on p. 20- of the November 1936
SURVEY.

Compiled by the Federal Works Agency, Public Roads Administration. Data represent average hourly wage rates for unskilled
(common) labor in road building* Federal-aid projects were at
a low level from 1933 to 1936 and wage rates of common labor
based upon reports from this type of project are not representative. Data, therefore, based upon the type of project that employed the greatest number of men for the period shown in this
table have been used and are as follows: From January 1922
through September 1932, data are based upon reports on Federalaid projects; October 1932 through September 1933, Emergency
Highway Construction projects; October 1933 through December
1935, Public Works Highway projects; January through December
1936, Works Program Highway and Grade-crossingElimination projects; and January 1937 through December 1941, Federal-aid highway projects. Changes in United States wage rates are affected
by the relative number of men employed in areas with higher or
lower wage rates* Data shown as monthly averages for 1938-41
are averages for the year computed by the compiling source and
are not averages of the monthly figures.
Comparable monthly data back to January 1934 are shown in the
1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS, and for prior months are available
upon request to this office. Monthly data prior to 1934 previously published in the SURVEY are not comparable with the present
series*

Compiled by the Social Security Board, Bureau of Public Assistance, Division of Assistance Analysis*
Statistics represent all public assistance and earnings of persons employed under
Federal agency projects financed from emergency funds; earnings
of persons employed on construction projects financed* from regular Federal funds and Reconstruction Finance Corporation funds,
formerly included in the total for assistance and earnings, have
been excluded and are shown*as a separate item, "Earnings on
regular Federal construction projects. " Data relate to continental United States. Data do not include cost of administration, and of materials, supplies, and equipment incident to the
operation of work programs. Figures shown for obligations incurred for "general relief," which includes relief under special
programs of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, in the
latter part of 1935 reflect the transfer of relief cases to the
new Works Program which began operation in July under authority
of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, and the gradual withdrawal of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration
from the financing of relief operations.
In a majority of
States, general relief operations were continued by State and
local agencies, using the balances of Federal funds and other
public funds. Data are partly estimated and subject to revision.
Except as indicated in notes 4, 5, and 6, comparable monthly
data for years prior to 1938 have not been published in the
SURVEY; monthly data not published are available upon request to
this office or from the "Social Security Bulletin" for February
1941 and 1942.

The total for assistance and earnings includes data on subsistence payments certified by the Farm Security Administration,
formerly shown as a separate item under assistance to recipients.
These payments represent the net amount of cash grant payments
certified to cases and cost to the Farm Security Administration
of commodities and commodity stamps purchased by that agency and
distributed during the period; payments averaged $1,500,000 a
month during 1940 and $1,000,000 during 1941.
OF CURRENT BUSINESS
The total includes also for November 1933-July 1934 estimates
made by the Work Projects Administration, Division of Statistics,
of earnings of persons employed under the Civil Works program
(not shown separately in this table) as follows: November 1933,
$31,932,000 and December 1933, $185,024,000; year 1934—January,
$218,799,000; February, $154,549,000; March, $123,630,000; April,
$5,968,000; May, $102,000; June, $11,000'; and July, $1,000.
y
Data represent earnings of persons certified as in need and
earnings of all other persons employed on projects financed in
whole or in part from Federal emergency funds. Figures for the
Civilian Conservation Corps include earnings of enrolled persons
only. Monthly data for 1936-37 for the Civilian Conservation
Corps, National Youth Administration, and Work Projects Administration are shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; earlier monthly data
are available on request.

The total includes old-age assistance shown separately, aid
to dependent children, and aid to the blind. Hospitalization,
burial, and administrative costs are excluded for all years;
the cost of medical care is excluded beginning September 1940
but is included in .earlier data. Figures from January 1933 to
January 1936 represent payments from State and local funds only;
for subsequent months, payments from Federal, State, and local
funds for programs administered under State plans approved by the
Social Security Board and from State and local funds for programs
administered under State laws without Federal participation.
At the end of 1934, a State-wide old-age assistance program
was in operation in only 10 States; by September 1938 all of the
States were administering old-age assistance under plans approved
by the Social Security Board.
By the end of 1941 all but 3 States had approved plans for aid
to dependent children and all but 6 States had approved plans for
aid to the blind. However, State plans were in operation in the
3 States without approved plans for aid to dependent children and
in all but 2 of the States without approved plans for aid to the
blind.
Monthly data beginning 1933 for old-age assistance are shown
in table 56, p. 17, of the December 1940 SURVEY. Monthly data
for 1936-37 for the total are in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and earlier
data are available on request.

Figures for January 1933-March 1937 are from the Work Projects Administration. The data cover general relief and, for the
period January 1933-March 1937, also relief under the special
programs of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (data for
the special programs are shown separately in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT). Data for general relief cover programs administered by
State and local governments and, for 1933-35, programs administered by State emergency relief administrations financed largely
from Federal Emergency Relief Administration funds, including
obligations incurred for direct relief and earnings of relief
and nonrelief persons (other than administrative employees) employed under the general relief programs of the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration. Data for 1933-35 include estimates for
relief extended to cases by local authorities from public funds
under poor laws.
Hospitalization, burial, and administrative costs are excluded
for all years; cost of medical care'is excluded beginning September 1940 but is included in earlier data. Data for the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration special programs, included in
the figures through March 1937, represent relief extended to
cases under the emergency education, student aid, rural rehabilitation, and transient programs of emergency relief administrations financed largely from Federal Emergency Relief Administration funds. See also note 2 for this page.

Data have been compiled by the flew York Federal Reserve Bank
since July 1936 when the compilation was taken over from the
American Acceptance Council. Data shown for the years 1915-37
are as of the end of the year. The figures represent the total
acceptance liability outstanding on the last day of the month of
all banks, bankers, and agencies of foreign banks. Acceptances
based on (a) imports, ( ) exports, (c) goods stored in or shipped
i
between points in the United States and foreign countries, and
(d) dollar exchange are included. Data by classes of acceptances
are available from the Monthly Review of the New York Federal
Reserve Bank, and from the Federal Reserve Bulletin.
Earlier monthly figures appear in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS, except data for the " total," 1920-24, for "held
by Federal Reserve banks*' and "held by group of accepting banks"
for years prior to 1927, and for "held by others," 1925-29. The

Compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and published in the Federal Re serve Bullet in. Data represent the volume
of paper outstanding as ireported by dealers; some finance company
paper sold in open market is included. Prior to October 1920
the figures are estimated totals for 30 firms based on known totals for 11 firms. Beginning October 1920 through April 1928,
the data are as reported by 25 dealers; from April 1928 to the
middle of 1934, the number of dealers reporting gradually declined to 12, the reduction being caused by some dealers going
out of business and by consolidations; 13 dealers reported for
September 1934-January 1937, and 12 for February 1937-February
1940 (except for March 1940 when 15 reported); and 11 beginning
December 1941. Data shown here prior to 1938 are as of the end
of the year and not monthly averages. Monthly data for the period 1923-37 which appear in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are correct except for the period May 1931-Aprii 1932, inclusive, and for minor revisions. Earlier monthly data and the
1931-32 revisions are available upon request.

Compiled by the Farm Credit Administration to provide a comprehensive picture of the Federal farm credit activities. Data
shown for 1918-37 are as of the end of the year and not monthly
averages. The figures for total loans and total short-term credit beginning December 11931, and the figures for emergency crop
loans beginning 1925 have been revised to include 1918-19 farmers* seed loans in the amount of $1,052,000; the amount of the
1918-19 seed loans outstanding prior to 1925 is not available.
The Farm Credit Administration supervises the activities of the
Federal land banks, the national farm loan associations, the Federal intermediate credit banks, the production credit corporations, the production credit associations* and the banks for
cooperatives. It supervises the lending activities of the following emergency institutions: The Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation, on whose behalf the Land Bank Commissioner makes loans,
and the emergency crop and drought relief loan offices. In addition, the Farm Credit Administration supervises liquidation of
the regional agricultural credit corporations and the Agricultural Marketing Act revolving fund. The loans represent in the main:
199
Farm-mortgage loans, short-term production credit, and advances
to farmers' cooperative purchasing and marketing associations.
District units of the Farm Credit Administration are located in
each of the 12 Farm Credit districts, coinciding geographically
with the Federal land bank districts. The offices are located
in Springfield (Mass. ), Baltimore, Columbia (S. C. ), touisville,
New Orleans, St. Louis, St. Paul, Omaha,Wichita, Houston, Berkeley, and Spokane, In each district organization there are 4
permanent credit institutions—a Federal land bank, a Federal intermediate credit bank, a production credit corporation, and a
bank for cooperatives—in addition to local national farm loan
associations and production credit associations.
The Farm Credit Administration also supervises the liquidation
of the joint-stock land banks which were privately capitalized
institutions organized under the Federal Farm Loan Act. The
figures shown, which represent the loans outstanding of all the
joint-stock land banks, including those in receivership, are not
included in the totals*
Data on farm mortgage and other agricultural loans included in
the summary table on governmental corporations and credit agencies on p. 76 include agricultural loans of the Commodity Credit
Corporation, Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and War Finance
Corporation, as well as loans of agencies under the supervision
of the Farm Credit Administration. In addition, data for loans
of agencies under the supervision of the Farm Credit Administration included in the summary table differ from data shown here
in that the summary table includes Federal intermediate credit
bank loans to and discounts for production credit associations,
which are not included in the totals shown here, and excludes
loans by production credit associations which are here included.
Data in greater detail and descriptions of the lending institutions in the system may be found in the annual reports of the
Farm Credit Administration.
Monthly data as shown in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS
are correct except for the revision in the "grand total," "total
short-term credit, " and "emergency crop loans" to include 1918-19
farmers* seed loans in the amount of $1,052,000, as stated above,
and other minor revisions. Figures for Federal land banks published in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT are substantially cdrrect.

Compiled by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. The data represent debits or charges on the books of
reporting member and nonmember banks in 141 cities to deposit
accounts of individuals, firms, corporations, the United States
Government, and State and local governments. Debits to savings
accounts, payments from trust accounts, and certificates of deposit paid are included. Figures do not include debits to the
accounts of other banks or in settlement of clearing-house balances, payments of cashiers' checks, charges to expense and miscellaneous accounts, corrections, or similar charges. Monthly
figures are derived from weekly reports; the figures for weeks
which do not fall entirely within a single calendar month are
prorated. Monthly data for 1923-37 appear in the 1940, 1938,

monthly Federal Reserve Bulletin. Data shown here for 1917-37
are as of the end of the year, not monthly averages.
From 1919-33 the figures for "gold certificates" are total gold
reserves including the gold redemption fund with the U. S. Treasury. Beginning 1934 the item "gold certificates" consists of
gold certificates on hand and due from the U. S. Treasury and the
redemption fund for Federal Reserve notes.

1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
The** reserve ratio" represents the percentage which total reserves are of the combined deposit and Federal Reserve note liabilities. Monthly data for 1932-37 for total reserves and for
1923-37 for all other items are available in the 1940, 1938,
1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS, except for revisions in the 1932
SUPPLEMENT as follows (in millions of 'dollars): U. S, Government security holdings, July 1926, 372; member-bank reserves,
March 1930, 2,367. Data for total reserves published in the 1932
SUPPLEMENT have been revised.

The data are reported weekly by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and are from reporting member banks
in 101 leading cities; the figures given here are for the Wednesday nearest the end of the montji. Data shown for 1919-37
are for Wednesday nearest the end of the year and not monthly
averages.
The number of reporting banks in the early years of the series
exceeded 800, but the total has been gradually reduced by mergers and other causes. By the end of 1932 the published statement included figures for about 420 reporting banks in the 101
cities. This number was reduced to 375 at the time of the banking holiday, but increased subsequently, and at present the
statement comprises reports for about 390 banks. These changes
do not materially affect the relative size of the sample for
the country as a whole. The figures were considerably affected
in March 1933 by the closing of a number of large banks in 11
of the cities included and from March 1933 until the middle of
1934 by the reopening of old banks or the beginning of reports
by new successor banks in these cities, It may be said, however, that these changes in a sense reflect the course of banking developments during that period. Total loans and investments of reporting member banks in the 101 cities in earlier
years generally amounted to less than two-thirds of the total
for all member banks and less than half of the total for all
banks in the United States, excluding mutual savings banks. After 1929 these proportions rose somewhat. Currently, the reporting banks in 101 cities have about 69 percent of the loans
and investments of all members, and 59 percent of those of all
commercial banks. Since the weekly reporting banks are chiefly
large city banks, which are most affected by short-time moneymarket factors, they are especially significant in showing current changes in the credit situation. The assets and liabilities of banks in smaller places change more slowly, and- weekly
figures for these banks would ordinarily be of less significance
and, owing to the larger number of such banks, more difficult
to collect.
Because of a revision in the classification of "loans" in May
1937 (described in the Federal Reserve Bulletins for May and
June 1937) and a regrouping of the items, data for the period
prior to that time can not be shown for the individual classifications except for loans to banks, real estate loans, and loans
to brokers and dealers in securities. The latter item includes
beginning with May 1937, when the revision was nfade, a small
amount of unsecured loans to brokers and dealers (when such
loans are made for the purpose of purchasing or carrying securities); earlier data include only loans on securities. In the
Federal Reserve presentation of these data, several combinations
of the new classifications are shown which provide a fairly
comparable continuation of the earlier series.
Beginning February 1939, data for time deposits, demand deposits, and investments in U. S. Government direct obligations were
subdivided and new classifications were brought out. A small
amount of U. S. Government time deposits (2 million dollars on
February 8) was shifted from the U. S, Government demand deposit
series and included in the time deposit total. Minor changes
were also made in the composition of several items of loans and
investments. Certain amounts which had been previously classified as loans or securities, but indirectly representing bank
premises or other real estate owned, are classified as "other
assets" (not shown in this tabulation). These amounts on February 8, 1939, were $47 million for loans and $53 million for securities. A transfer of a small amount of loans theretofore
classified as ''commercial, industrial, and agricultural" to
"other loans "was also made at that time.
Monthly figures, beginning 1923, on demand deposits (see note

* Figures beginning September 1934 represent adjusted demand
deposits and are not comparable with earlier figures shown in
italics, which are net demand deposits, against which reserves
were required to be held. Net demand deposits, which were reported through August 23, 1935, were computed by adding to all
demand deposits otHter than United States Government deposits the
excess of the balance due to banks over the balance due from
banks. The Banking Act of 1935 altered the definition of net demand deposits effective August 24, 1935* Adjusted demand deposits represent deposits other than interbank and United States
Government, less cash items reported as on hand or in process of

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, beginning 1939. Estimates for 1929
through 1938, by months, were developed by the National Bureau
of Economic Research in cooperation with .the Russell Sage Foundation and the V. S. Department of Commerce.
Data on credit unions prior to 1934 cover only State-chartered
agencies. Establishment of credit unions under Federal charters
was first provided under a law in 1934; thereafter, both Stateand Federal-chartered credit unions are covered.
Industrial banking companies are considered to be financial
agencies that commonly provide deposit as well as loan facilities and extend credit to consumers chiefly on an installment
repayment basis. Mutually owned credit unions and exclusively
mortgage-loan agencies are not included. Industrial banking companies are variously known as banks, Morris Plan banks or companies, loan and investment companies, finance and thrift companies, or industrial loan and discount companies. They have accounted for around one-fifth of installment loans to consumers
by all cash lending agencies in recent years.
Personal finance companies are considered to be agencies licensed to operate under the uniform Small Loan Act or statutes
resembling this Act. There are at present about 30 States with
statutes coming under this classification. Small loan companies
operating under the revised California Personal Property Brokers'
Act are included beginning December 1939. It is estimated that
their loan balances outstanding amounted to $24,800,000 in that
month. Personal finance companies have accounted for around 30
percent of installment loans to consumers by all cash lending
agencies in recent years.
Loans made represent the volume of cash loaned plus old balances renewed. Repayments are loan collections (including accounting collections on old balances renewed) computed from the
reported figures for loans made and outstandings. Repayments
include accounts written off. Outstandings represent loan balances receivable as of the end of each month. For the most part,
interest charges are not included in data for personal finance
companies and credit unions, but are included for industrial
banking companies.
In compiling data for 1929-38, year-end estimates of total
amounts outstanding, compiled by the Russell Sage Foundation,
were used as basing points from which monthly outstandings were
interpolated on the basis of sample data. The credit union data
were estimated in most part from State and Federal reports.
Loans made and repayments for this series were not computed for
that period. The year-end estimates of outstandings for industrial banking companies were obtained from State and individual
company reports. The sample data used in interpolating monthly
outstandings included 20 Morris Plan banks, which covered approximately 30 percent of industrial banking companies' outstandings. Monthly estimates of loans made were calculated by multiplying the estimated total amount outstanding by the ratio of
loans made to outstandings for the sample, and repayments were
then computed from loans made and net changes in outstandings.
The year-end estimates for outstandings of personal finance companies were compiled in most part from State reports. The sample for interpolating monthly outstandings included 18 personal
finance companies which covered about 35 percent of total personal finance company outstandings, but it was too heavily weighted
by the figures of two companies. In order to counteract this
bias, only 10 percent of one company's outstandings totals and
50 percent of the totals for the other company were used in computing monthly outstandings. Monthly estimates of loans made
for this series were calculated by multiplying the estimated total amounts outstanding by the ratio of loans made to outstandings

for each month is the average of the loan rates of the 12 banks;
no weight is given to the number of loans closed at the various
rates. When a change of rate occurs during a month, the bank's
average rate for that month is obtained. In computing this average, each rate in effect during the month is weighted by the
number of business days it was in force.
On installments maturing during the period July 11, 1933,
through June 30, 1935, the interest rate on loans made through
the national farm loan associations was temporarily reduced to
4-1/2 percent; on installments maturing from July 1, 1935,
through June 30, 1942, the rate has been temporarily reduced to
3-1/2 percent.

•* Compiled by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. During the period for
which data are shown, there have been two major revisions of the
failure statistics resulting in material changes in the coverage
between 1932 and 1933, and between 1938 and 1939,and also revisions in the industry classifications, so that no data are available prior to 1939 comparable with the present series. The coverage of the data as now compiled and an explanation of the principal revisions, together with a one-year overlap of data for the
old and new series where serious breaks occurred, are given in
the paragraph:} following.
A failure is defined as "a concern which is involved in a court
proceeding or a voluntary action which is likely to end in loss
to creditors. " All industrial and commercial enterprises which
are petitioned into the Federal Bankruptcy Courts are included
in the failure records, as well as concerns which are forced out
of business through such actions in the State courts as foreclosure, execution and attachments with insufficient assets to
cover all claims; and also voluntary discontinuances with known
loss to creditors, where obtainable.
Beginning 1933 the records are confined strictly to industrial
and commercial enterprises, and do not include such activities
as banks, financial companies, amusement enterprises, railroads,
or holding companies. Also real estate and insurance brokers,
shipping agents, tourist companies, transportation terminals,
etc., are not included. No personal bankruptcies, such as doctors, lawyers, dentists, are included.
The series shown for liabilities represent approximately current liabilities (i.e., all accounts and notes payable, and all
obligations whether secured or not, known to be held by banks,
officers, affiliated companies, supplying companies, or the
government). A relatively small amount of mortgages held by
individuals is included prior to 1934.
The classification of the failure records by industries was
revised, beginning January 1940, to conform to the new government code, "Standard Industrial Classification'* issued by the
Central Statistical Board, in order to facilitate direct comparison between failures and any other series of data based on the
same official code. This revision involved a number of changes
in the subgroups under manufacturing and the shifting of bakeries
with retail outlets from manufacturing to retail trade. These
bakeries numbered 166 in 1940 with liabilities amounting to
$786,000. Some lines of activity, such as coal mines, oil wells,
quarries, etc., which are primarily production items rather than
manufacturing, continue to be reported under manufacturing, but
are now brought together under a heading "mining" which may be
subtracted from the group total to give a true manufacturing
total. This change did away with the former small fuel group.
The 1939 figures for the groups affected by the revision in 1940
are shown in italics; data for 1940 on a comparable basis with
those for 1939 are available on p. 77 of the February 1941 SURVEY.
The revision in the data beginning 1939 was due to more complete coverage of voluntary discontinuances with loss to creditors and of concerns forced out of business with insufficient
assets to cover all claims, which prior to 1939 had been incompletely reported by some branch offices of the compiling agency.
A comparison of the data for 1939 as originally published, comparable with earlier years, and the new series shows that the
total number of failures was increased 29 percent and current
liabilities 9 percent by the inclusion of the additional cases.
Practically all of the additions were small concerns with liabilities under $25,000 and a majority of these had debts of less
than $5,000. Distribution of the increase among the five main
industry groups was fairly uniform. Figures for 1939, by industry groups, comparable with earlier data, are published in the
1940 SUPPLEMENT.
The change in coverage between the series shown here beginning
1933 and data for 1913-32 is confined to the elimination of real
estate and insurance brokers, holding and finance companies,
shipping agents, tourist companies, transportation terminals,
amusement places, and similar organizations. The effect of
these revisions on the total figures is a reduction in the number
of failures in 1933 from 20,307 to 19,859, and in liabilities
from $502,831,OQO to $457,520,000.
Data as shown here and in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT have been revised
to include cases of petitions for corporate reorganization formerly classified separately by the compilers under the title
"77-B cases" (i.e., cases subject to the provisions of section
77-B of the National Bankruptcy Act). Due to revisions in the
Bankruptcy Act in September 1938, the series based on section
77-B could not be continued on a comparable basis; by combining
it with the regular failures, the trend of total failures during
the period is made possible. In combining the two series it was
necessary to exclude those 77-B cases which were not of the type
(commercial and industrial) to be included in this failure record
and those which were in receivership and had already been counted
at the time a receiver was appointed.

Data are compiled by The Association of Life Insurance Presidents from reports of 36 companies for 1941 and 37 companies for
earlier years. These companies held approximately 82 percent of
the admitted assets of all United States companies on Dec* 31,
1941. The data given are as of the end of each month and year
and are designed to show the fluctuations in the various kinds
of investments held by life insurance companies. Admitted assets
are those used in the determination of a company's statutory
surplus. The classification " real estate" includes real estate
sold on contract but does not include real estate owned subject
to redemption. Foreclosed liens subject to redemption are included in "mortgage loans" and are not transferred to " real estate" until the redemption period is past. "U, S. Government
bonds" includes both direct government obligations and bonds of
Federal agencies fully guaranteed by the U. S. Government.
Bonds of Federal agencies not guaranteed by the U. S. Government are included in "Other bonds and stocks." The ciass^fication "other admitted assets " includes collateral loans, bills
receivable, interest due and accrued, and deferred and unpaid
premiums. Through August 1925, it also includes "real estate"
and "cash" which are shown separately thereafter.
Earlier monthly data are shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS, p. 19 of the January 1938 issue, and p. 18 of the December 1936 issue.

The data on new business represent only new business that has
been paid for, and do not include revivals, increases, and dividend additions. Premium collections include total premium collections, new and renewal, and considerations for annuities.
Supplementary contracts involving and not involving life contingencies are included from 1913 to December 1935, inclusive. Annuities are included for all years but are first shown separately

Compiled by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. Data represent the value of gold held by the Treasury,
as reported in the daily Treasury statements for the end of the
months and years indicated. Prior to January 30, 1934, monetary
gold stock included gold held by the Treasury and by the Federal
Reserve banks, except gold held under earmark for foreign account, and also included gold coin in circulation in the United
States. The latter figure was estimated by taking into consideration imports and exports of gold coin, mintings, meltings, and
the use of gold coin in the arts, as well as payments of gold
coin into circulation and withdrawals from circulation. On January 30, 1934, title to all gold held by Federal Reserve banks
was transferred to the United States Government. The Federal
Reserve banks now hold gold certificates or gold-certificate
credits on the books of the Treasury, against which the Treasury
holds gold. There is no circulation of gold coin and all imports, exports, and changes in earmarkings of gold are immediately reflected in Treasury holdings.
Beginning January 31, 1934, the estimated figure of gold coin
in circulation, amounting to $287,000,000, was excluded from
monetary gold stock and from money in circulation. The reasons
for this change were as follows:
(1) The amount of gold coin
reported as "in circulation" prior to 1934 is known to have been
overstated by the amount of gold coin which, in the course of
time, had been lost, destroyed, or exported without record; (2)
the results of official efforts during World War I to concentrate gold, and since March 1933 to secure its return from
private hoards, have indicated that the overstatement has been
large; (3) the Treasury order of December 28, 1933, requiring
surrender of all gold coin (with minor exceptions) in effect
prohibits anyone from using gold coin for circulation or from
having it in his possession; and (4) under the Gold Reserve Act
of 1934, effective January 30 of that year, no gold coin may
henceforth be put into circulation. Gold coin outside of the
United States Treasury, therefore, is no longer a part of monetary gold stock or of money in circulation.
Figures prior to January 31, 1934, have been revised to exclude
the $287,000,000 of gold coin, leaving the remainder of gold coin
in circulation in the published figures. For the early years the
resulting figure is probably an understatement of gold coin actually in circulation, but fluctuations in the total are not affected by this revision.
The large increase in 1934 resulted primarily from revaluation
of the gold stock on the basis of the changed gold content of the
dollar (i.e., current dollar equals 15-S/21 grains of gold 9/10
fine; formerly it contained 25-8/10 grains of gold 9/10 fine).
The revaluation added $2,806,000,000 to the gold stock on February 1, 1934.
Monthly data for 1936-37 appear in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; earlier
monthly data are available upon request,
2
Statistics on exports and imports of gold are from the U. S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
through April 1941 and Bureau of the Census thereafter. Data on
changes in the amount of gold held under earmark are from the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The amount of
net release from earmark represents gold released from earmark
at Federal Reserve banks for foreign account, less gold placed
under earmark for foreign account (with allowance when necessary
for changes in gold earmarked abroad for account of Federal
204
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Reserve banks). The minus sign indicates an increase in earmarked
gold. An increase in earmarked gold is the equivalent of net export and a decrease the equivalent of net import. Monthly figures beginning 1923 appear in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932
SUPPLEMENTS. The following revisions should be made in the published figures for net release from earmark: April 1923, 1,000;
May 1927, 35,452; June 1927, 36,748; July 1927, 23,116,

Compiled by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. The monthly average figures for estimated world production outside U. S. S. R. through 1940 are based on the annual
estimates of the U. S. Mint; for 1941, the average is based on
the total of the monthly figures. The monthly figures for each
year through 1936 have been computed by adding to the "total
reported monthly" a constant amount so that the aggregate for
each year is equal to the U. S. Mint's estimate of world production outside U. S. S. R. From 1937 through 1939, the American
Bureau of Metal Statistics* monthly estimates in fine ounces
converted to dollar value for countries not reporting to the
Board of Governors have been added to " total reported monthly"
figures which were then adjusted, as in earlier years, to the
annual world estimates of the U. S. Mint. In 1940 and 1941, the
monthly estimates of the American Bureau of Metal Statistics for
all production except U. S. S. R., converted to dollar figures,
have been used for the world total. The 1940 monthly figures
have been adjusted to the annual estimate of the U. S, mint,
No regular government statistics on gold production in U. S,
S, R, are available, but data on percentage changes irregularly
given out by officials of the gold mining industry, together
with certain direct figures for past years, afford a basis for
estimating annual production in millions of dollars as follows—
$20.67 per fine ounce: 1929, 15; 1930, 31; 1931, 34; 1932, 40;
1933, 56;—at $35.00 per fine ounce: 1933, 95; 1934, 135; 1935,'
158; 1936, 187; 1937, 185; 1938, 180.
The item "total reported monthly" consists of reports from the
United States,, Canada, Mexico, Columbia, Chile, Australia (excluding a small amount produced in Tasmania and Northern Territory and since January 1933, in Southern Australia), British India
(beginning 1939, the Myore State only which accounts for almost
the entire production; earlier figures have been adjusted to
include total British India), and the following regions of Africa
which account for about 95 percent of Africa's total production:
Union of South Africa; Northern and Southern Rhodesia; West
Africa—through March 1941 the Gold Coast and Sierra Leone, and
beginning April 1941, also Nigeria; Belgian Congo—the Kilo
Moto mines, which represent approximately 50 percent of the Belgian Congo total, through April 1940 and in the total for 1940
(beginning May 1940, reports were no longer available for Belgian Congo; the total for 1940 was estimated at 3 times the production for the first 4 months of the year, or $8,862,000). The
annual figures for "total reported monthly" beginning 1934 and
monthly figures from January 1940 include also gold exports of
Nicaragua, which represent approximately 90 percent of total
production of that country.
The data on production in the United States include the Philippines. Monthly averages are based on annual estimates compiled
by the U. S. Mint in cooperation with the Bureau of Mines, the
1941 estimate being preliminary. Monthly figures, which are
estimates of the American Bureau of Metal Statistics, have been
adjusted by adding a constant amount so that the aggregate for
each year is equal to the annual estimate. The Canadian data
are reported by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Figures for
1941 are subject to official revision.
Data shown in this table prior to 1934 are computed at the rate
of $20.67 per fine ounce; whereas those beginning 1934 are computed at the rate of $35.00 per fine ounce. The 1933 monthly
averages in thousands of dollars at $35.00 per fine ounce are:
Estimated world production outside U. S. S. R., 66,208; production reported monthly, total, 58,018; Africa, 35,451; United
States, 7,456; and Canada, 8,602.
For earlier monthly data see table 8, pp, 11 and 12, of the
March 1940 SURVEY and the 1940 SUPPLEMENT.
u
Receipts of domestic unrefined gold at the United States
Mint and assay offices are from the V. S. Treasury Department.
Monthly averages shown here (except for the year 1941) and in the
1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS are based on annual figures. Those
shown in the 1936 and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are based on the totals
of the monthly figures. The monthly averages shown here for the
years 1913-34 have been revised to include refinery bullion less
than 0.992 fine to make them comparable with the monthly figures
and the later annual data. The discrepancies between the sum of
the monthly figures and the annual totals which are used in computing the averages shown here are due to inability to prorate
by months some late reports.
5
Compiled by the U. S. Treasury Department* Data are as of
the end of the year or month indicated* The figures for currency
in circulation include all kinds of United States money outside
of the Federal Reserve banks and the Treasury, except that gold
and silver coin known to have been exported is always excluded
and, beginning January 31, 1934, all gold coin outstanding has
been excluded. The figures include, therefore, not only money
held by the public but vault cash held by banks and such United
States money as may have been carried abroad, other than gold
and silver coin known to have been exported. For reasons explained in note 1 for this page, figures originally published
for the period from January 1914 to January 1934 have been revised to exclude $287,000,000 of gold coin. No correction was
made in the money in circulation figures for the removal of gold
certificates, since the reasons for the elimination of gold coin
figures do not appear to hold for gold certificates.
Figures prior to June 21, 1917 (when legislation became effective changing reserve requirements of member banks) while comparable with one another are not strictly comparable with those
for succeeding dates; the transfer to the Federal Reserve banks
of that part of legal reserves of member banks formerly held in
their own vaults reduced the volume of money outside the Treasury
and Federal Reserve banks. The increasing membership of State
banks in the Federal Reserve System after June 1917 had a similar
effect upon the figures.
Monthly data for 1936-37 are shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT;
earlier monthly data are available upon request.

Production and refinery stocks of silver are from the American Bureau of Metal Statistics, except the production figures
for world and United States prior to 1921 which are from the
{/. 5. Department of Interior, Geological Survey, and the Canadian
production data which are compiled by the Canadian Government*
Stock figures for years 1921-37 are as of the end of December.
The data represent an acc6unting of production of new silver
in accordance with the procedure of the various countries. This
may be on the basis of commercial bars or the silver content of
products shipped to smelters and refiners for treatment; e.g.,
ores, concentrates, blister copper, base bullion, etc. The production of the United States represents commercial bars, 0.999
fine, actually produced by the refineries from material of domestic origin. Production in the Philippine Islands, however,
is included in the United States figures.
Monthly figures for Mexico are erratic. The American Bureau
of Metal Statistics ascribes this to documentary reasons rather
than to fluctuations in the physical movements, as the irregularities smooth out over a period of several months.
Details for additional countries are given in reports of the
American Bureau of Metal Statistics.
Monthly data beginning 1923 for the United States and Mexico
and beginning 1934 for world production are given in the 1940,
1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Monthly averages, except for 1941, are based on the annual
totals reported by the American Bureau of Metal Statistics and
include some production not allocated by months. No monthly
figures are available prior to 1933.

Data on production compiled by the Department of Trade and
Commerce, Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Chemical Branch, have
been substituted for figures compiled by the American Bureau of
Metal Statistics, previously shown, as that agency is unable to
compile data on Canadian production and stocks owing to war restrictions. The Canadian Government does not receive reports on
stocks. The data represent mine or smelter production (including
a small amount of United States ore treated) plus silver in ores
and concentrates exported. Monthly figures prior to 1938 are
available on request.
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
y
Compiled by the Corporation Trust Co, from data obtained
by its local offices from the Secretaries of State of New York,
Illinois, Delaware, and Maine. Business corporations chartered
under the general business corporation laws of these States, but
not necessarily doing business in the State, are included. Incorporations for fraternal and charitable purposes are excluded.
Monthly figures beginning 1925 are shown in the 1940, 1938( 1936,
and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. These new data have been substituted for data on quarterly profits of 167 industrial companies compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which have formerly been included
in the SURVEY. The number of companies shown in the column
headings represents the coverage beginning 1939 when data for
629 companies, compiled quarterly, are available; identical companies have been included throughout the reporting period,, Earlier data shown in italics are for 488 of these companies distributed as follows: 35 iron and steel; 57 machinery; 12 automobile; 54 other transportation equipment; 50 nonferrous metals
and products; 56 other durable goods; 40 foods, beverages, and
tobacco; 36 oil producing and refining; 25 industrial chemicals;
66 other nondurable goods; and 56 miscellaneous service companies. Data for the 488 companies are available only on an annual
basis. These annual data are tabulated on the basis of the
yearly accounting periods covered by published annual reports
and include reports for fiscal years ended between the period
July 1 of the specified year through June 30 of the following
year.
Net profits are before dividends and after all charges, including depreciation, interest, special reserves charged as expense,
and all taxes.
The 629 companies include 351 companies engaged primarily in
the production of durable goods, 204 in the production cf nondurable goods, and 74 in various service activities such as
trade, restaurants, amusements, and water and air transportation.
Companies are classified by industrial groups on the basis of
their predominant prewar activity. To a considerable extent,
the data represent large and very large companies. The sample
includes no representation of companies with total assets under
$250,000 and a very limited representation of companies with
assets between $250,000 and $5,000,000. Some important nondurable goods industries, s:uch as meat packing, sugar refining, and
rubber, are not represented. The 555 manufacturing and mining
companies in the sample accounted for about 40 percent of the
net income of all United States manufacturing and mining corporations in 1939.
For a more complete description of the data, see pp. 214-215
of the March 1942 Federal Reserve Bulletin.

The statistics shown represent quarterly profits of public
utilities as compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
Data are based on reports of 53 companies through June 1938; beginning September 1938, the number was reduced to 52 by the merger of two reporting companies.
Data are for net income after
payment of fixed charges and taxes, but before property retirement reserve appropriations.
Earlier quarterly figures which appear in the 1940, 1938, and
1936 SUPPLEMENTS and on p. 15 of the August 1936 SURVEY are correct except for minor revisions. Data prior to 1938 are quarterly averages.

•* Compiled by the Interstate Commerce Commission from reports
of class I steam railways, excluding switching an4 terminal companies. The net income is computed by subtracting from the total income, miscellaneous deductions, total fixed charges (rent
for leased roads and equipment, interest deductions, and other
deductions), and contingent charges. The quarterly averages
published here are based on the 12-month cumulative figures published by the Interstate Commerce Commission and differ slightly
from the averages of thei quarterly data shown. They also differ
materially from the net income appearing in the annual reports
of the Commission entitled "Statistics of Railways in the United
States, " owing principally to the elimination of intra-system
dividends from the SURVEY series. The number of railways from
which the figures have been computed ranged from 147 to 151 in
1931 and 1932, the fluctuation being due mainly to consolidations
and ^classifications. From February 1933 to December 1935 the
number of railways represented was 149; during 1936, 144; January-February 1937, 143; March through June 1937, 142; July 1937
through December 1938, 141; for 1939, 138-140; and beginning
January 1940, 137, except for Sept ember-December 1940 when 136

reported. For detailed data on this subject see the monthly reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission entitled "Selected
Income and Balance Sheet Items of Class I Railways in the United
States. " This series is the same as the one included in the
"Transportation and Communications" section.
Earlier data may be found in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS (in the latter SUPPLEMENT figures are in thousands of dollars, not millions as stated in the heading).
2
Compiled from reports of the Federal Communications Commission beginning 1934 and from the Interstate Commerce Commission
prior to that time. Beginning with 1932 the data represent net
operating income, before payment of fixed charges, and cover
reports of 90 to 97 carriers (91 for 1932-38; 90 for 1939, two
companies having merged; 94 for 1940; and 97 for 1 4 )
91.
Figures prior to 1932 shown in italics are for a larger group
of companies, varying slightly in number, and represent "operating income. " The changes in the number of companies affected
the comparability of the data only slightly; however, owing to
a revision of the system of accounts resulting in changes in
the accounting classifications, the data for 1916-31 are not
comparable with the figures for later years. "Operating income"
for 1932, comparable with the earlier data, was 224.2 million
dollars (quarterly average, 56.1).
This series is the same as the one on telephone operating statistics in the "Transportation and Communications" section, p.
101 (see also note 1 for that page). Quarterly data beginning
1934 are correct as shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS and
for 1928-31 as shown on p. 15 of the August 1936 SURVEY. Data
by quarters for 1933 are available upon request.
Compiled by Standard and Poor's Corporation (formerly by
Standard Statistics Co., 7nc.). Data are based on the aggregate
quarterly net income, after fixed charges (i.e., the amount
available for payment on the companies' preferred and common
stock) for 117 industrial corporations, class I railroads, and
13 utilities. The railroad component is based on 26 roads
through 1931; subsequently, it is based on all class I roads adjusted downward to the level of the 26 roads. The adjustment is
based on the ratio of the 26 companies to all class I roads for
the period 1932-38.
The indexes are without seasonal adjustment. The quarterly
figures are aggregates of the groups stated as percentages of
the 1926 average. For negative values, the index is computed as
though it had a positive value. The resulting index is then
stated as a negative.
The composite index is derived from weighted totals of the
dollar values of the three individual groups; the weights approximate the dollar distribution of i n c o m e of industrials,
rails, and utilities for the years 1924-29 as reported in "Statistics of Income" compiled by the U. S. Treasury pepartment.
Monthly data for 1936-37 for all series appear in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; for industrials and utilities, 1924-35, and for the
combined index and railroads, 1924-31, see table 72, p. 19, of
the September 1938 SURVEY; for data on the combined index and
railroads for 1932-35, see p. 15 of the April 1939 SURVEY.

Compiled by the V. S. Treasury Department*
Figures represent gross debt at the end of the fiscal year (ended June 30)
or month specified.
Data are on the basis of revised daily
Treasury statements (see note 1, p. 75, for a discussion of the
difference between the revised and unrevised statements) and include matured debt on which interest has ceased (both public
and special issues) and debt bearing no interest, in addition
to interest-bearing debt. Public issues — interest-bearing consists of bonds, Treasury notes, certificates of indebtedness,
and Treasury bills; Public issues—noninterest-bearing consists
of matured debt on which interest has ceased, United States
notes (less gold reserve), deposits for retirement of national
bank and Federal Reserve bank notes, and other debt bearing no
interest; Special issues to Government agencies and trust funds
(interest-bearing) consists of notes or certificates of the following: Retirement funds, Unemployment Trust Fund, Federal OldAge and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund, Adjusted Service Certificate Fund, Postal Savings System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, National Service Life Insurance Fund, and Government Life Insurance
Fund.
Offsetting the gross debt, the balance in the general fund as
of June 30 in recent years has been: 1932, $391,205,129; 1933,
$853,777,775; 1934, $2,552,504,713; 1935, $1,811,821,266; 1936,

Compiled by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System from reports of the U. S. Treasury Department. Data are
as of end of the fiscal year or month specified and represent
the principal amount of obligations guaranteed as to principal
and interest. Obligations of the Home Owners* Loan Corporation,
issued July 1, 1933, guaranteed as to interest only, which were
called for redemption July 1, 1935, are not included. Excluded
throughout are obligations held by the United States Treasury
and reflected in the public debt. The total and data for the
Home Owners' Loan Corporation have been revised beginning September 1939 to exclude matured debt, funds for payment of which
have been deposited with the Treasury, The matured debt was not
included in earlier data. Data in the total column include a
small amount of guaranteed debentures of the Federal Housing
Administrator beginning July 1936 and beginning February 1939,
the guaranteed obligations of the U. S. Housing Authority.
The data shown here differ from those shown in the summary
table on Government Corporations and Credit Agencies (p. 76) in
the following respects: ( ) Prior to June 1936 the summary table
a
includes unissued bonds against Home Owners* Loa-. Corporation
loans in process; (b) figures subsequently shown differ in some
cases from gross outstanding amount of guaranteed securities
shown owing largely to differences in reporting the amount of
Home Owners' Loan Corporation bonds; (c) matured obligations are
included in the summary table from October 1939.

Compiled by the V. S. Treasury Department* Monthly averages shown are based on totals for fiscal years ended June 30. Data for expenditures and receipts are on the current cash basis
(daily Treasury statement, unrevised) beginning 1916. The figures are based on daily reports from Treasury offices and depositories and are stated to be "unrevised" in that figures for a
given month do not include delayed reports for the month concerned and include reports for the preceding month received too late
for inclusion in figures for that month. The revised daily Treasury statement figures take into account these delayed reports.
The unrevised figures as shown in current daily Treasury statements are the basis for the Budget submitted to Congress. Data
prior to 1916 are on the basis of warrants issued (net) and are
available only on an annual basis.
Beginning with 1931 data cover general and special accounts,
or budget receipts and expenditures; they exclude trust accounts,
increment on gold and related items, and lending operations of
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, the Export-Import Bank,
the Commodity Credit Corporation, and other lending agencies.
Expenditures include, however, amounts expended from the general
fund on account of appropriations for the purchase of capital
stock of such agencies, and moneys expended by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for grants under relief acts and for
other purposes for which no provision has been made for repay. ment to the Treasury. Data prior to 1931 (shown here in italics)
include trust accounts. The 1931 averages comparable with the
italicized figures are as follows: Expenditures, $351,663,000;
receipts, $276,436,000.
Beginning July 1, 1940, collections from social security employment taxes (less reimbursements to the general fund of the
Treasury for administrative expenses) are appropriated directly
to the Federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund; formerly, amounts transferred to this fund appeared under expenditures in Treasury statements. To make expenditures for the period prior to July 1, 1940, approximately comparable with the
classification effective on that date, transfers to the old-age
reserve account (for the fiscal year 1940 transfers to this account less administrative expenses) have been deducted from total expenditures and transfers to trust accounts. Similar amounts
have also been deducted from total receipts for January 1937 to
June 1940 to obtain data for the item "net receipts" which also
excludes net social security employment taxes appropriated directly to the Federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund
beginning July 1 4 . There were no transfers to this fund prior
90
to January 1937,
More detailed information on the various items of expenditures
and receipts are given below.
EXPENDITURES—National defense consists of military expenditures of the War and Navy Departments (the latter including the
Coast Guard beginning July 1940), expenditures from the national
defense funds appropriated to the President, outlays for selective service administrative expenses, 13. S. Maritime Commission
(including emergency ship construction), defense housing, lendlease aid, and, beginning July 1941, defense activities of various
civil establishments; this item does not include, however,
expenditures attributable to national defense payable from funds
which have supplemented regular appropriations of the civil establishments, or defense expenditures by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, the Export-Import Bank, and other agencies
operating outside of the regular budget. Unemployment relief
expenditures are shown as published in the Treasury Bulletin
beginning 1934; they include expenditures under the Work Projects Administration, National Youth Administration (except certain defense activities classified under national defense beginning July 1 4 ) Federal Emergency Relief Administration, Civil
90,
Works Administration, Civilian Conservation Corps, Farm Security
Administration grants, and drought relief expenditures in 1935.
For 1933, this item covers grants to States by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation for relief purposes, expenditures of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, and expenditures for the
Civilian Conservation Corps. The agricultural adjustment program
includes outlays for soil conservation and the earlier benefit
programs, parity payments, crop insurance, disposal of surplus
commodities, and benefit payments under the Sugar Act of 1937.
Transfers to trust accounts includes transfers from the general
fund to retirement funds and the railroad unemployment insurance
account, transfers to the Surplus Marketing Administration for
the redemption of commodity stamps, and for 1937 and earlier
years, transfers to the adjusted service certificate fund. A
minus sign (-) for this classification indicates excess of receipts. Debt retirement includes statutory retirements from
sinking fund, redemptions of bonds, etc., received from estate
taxes, forfeitures, gifts, and other miscellaneous receipts, and
purchases and retirements from repayments of principal and interest by foreign governments under ratified debt agreements.
RECEIPTS — Total receipts includes customs, total internal revenue, including all social security taxes collected, and miscellaneous receipts not shown separately. Net receipts excludes social security taxes appropriated directly to the Federal old-age
and survivors insurance trust fund (see third paragraph of this
note above). Total internal revenue includes, in addition to income and social security taxes, miscellaneous internal revenue,
not shown separately, consisting of capital stock taxes, estate
and gift taxes, liquor taxes, tobacco taxes, manufacturers' excise taxes, and other miscellaneous taxes. Income tax data include individual and corporation income taxes, unjust enrichment
tax and, except for 1934 and 1935, excess-profits taxes. For the
fiscal years 1934 and 1935 excess-profits taxes amounted respectively to $2,600,000 and $6,560,000. The 1940 SUPPLEMENT note
erroneously states that excess-profits taxes were excluded for
all years. The unjust enrichment tax was, however, excluded from
the figures in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT, as stated. Data for social
security taxes include, in addition to receipts under the Social
Security Act, title IX (tax on employees of 8 or more) and title
VIII (employment taxes), taxes upon carriers and their employees
and railroad unemployment insurance contributions.
Monthly data for 1933-37 appear in table 31, p, 23, of the November 1941 SURVEY* Earlier monthly data for national defense are
not available on a basis comparable with the later monthly figures and the fiscal year totals used for the monthly averages.
For the total, transfers to trust accounts, and debt retirements
prior monthly data beginning July 1931 are shown in table 22, p.
17, of the April 1939 SURVEY.

Total receipts less net social security employment taxes; see

Social security taxes were first collected in June 1936
The amount for that month was only $210.

In revising data for national defense in accordance with
classifications in effect in 1941, small amounts were excluded
from the indicated totals which could not be excluded frofn the
monthly data. The "all other" item is a residual figure and reflects these differences between the sum of the monthly figures
and the totals for items shown separately.

Compiled by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System from data supplied to the U, S. Treasury Department by
the various governmental corporations and credit agencies and
published in the daily Treasury statement for the end of each
month, supplemented by additional data made available by the
Treasury Department. Data shown are for the end of the year or
month specified.
Federal land bank bonds held by the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation are excluded from this table; other interagency assets
and liabilities except investments in securities of other agencies and deposits of agencies with the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation are also excluded.
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY
The item "all other assets" includes cash, obligations of Government credit agencies not fully guaranteed by the United
States, accounts and other receivables, and other assets. Beginning July 1941 accounts and other receivables were revised t© exclude amounts due to the Commodity Credit Corporation from the
Surplus Marketing Administration which necessitated a revision
in the "total assets other than interagency"and "U, S. government
interests. " These amounts formerly classified as "accounts and
other receivables*'were reclassified as interagency assets*
The data on obligations fully guaranteed by the United States
Government shown on p. 74 differ from those used in this table,
as is discussed in note 5 for p. 74.
The Federal Reserve Bulletin gives additional assets and liabilities, and details of balance sheet items for important governmental agencies and groups of agencies.
The data shown for periods prior to July 1940 differ from previously published figures because adjustments have been made for
major changes in the classifications of assets and liabilities
made by the Treasury in its compilations during the period covered. These adjustments; tend to make the various items of assets
and liabilities comparable for the entire period. For the period
prior to June 1938 only the June and December figures were revised; therefore, no comparable data are available for January
to May 1938 for the series affected. Figures for the end of June
for 1935 through 1937 are available upon request.
* Compiled by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and cover
the lending activities of this organization since its inception.
Data shown prior to 1938 are as of the end of December. The figures do not include disbursements to the following agencies which
totaled $2,707,271,000 at the end of 1941:
(1) Allocations for
expenses of the regional agricultural credit corporations; (2)
direct relief allocations under the 1933 Relief Act, the Emergericy Appropriation Act of 1935, and the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935; (3) payments to the Secretary of the Treasury
for purchase of stock of the Federal Home Loan Banks (pursuant
to the Federal Home Loan Bank Act), and for similar purchases of
stock from the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (pursuant to the
Home Owners' Loan Act of 1935); (4) allocations to the Land Bank
Commissioner for loans to joint-stock land banks and for direct
loans to farmers (pursuant to the Emergency Farm Mortgage Act
of 1933); (5) payments to the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation
(pursuant to/the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation Act); (6)
allocations to the Federal Housing Administration (pursuant to
the National Housing Act); (7) allocations to the Secretary of
Agriculture (pursuant to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
Act, as amended); (8) capital stock of the regional agricultural
credit corporations (pursuant to the Emergency Relief and Construction Act of 1 3 ) (9) payments to the Governor of the Farm
92;
Credit Administration (pursuant to the Farm Act of 1933); (10)
purchase of stock of the Commodity Credit Corporation and the
Disaster Loan Corporation; (11) interest on notes issued for
funds for allocations and relief advances; ( 2 allocations to
1)
the Rural Electrification Administration.
During the first quarter of 1938, under the act approved February 24, 1938 (Public, No. 432), notes of the Corporation equivalent to the amounts then outstanding on the allocations shown
in the preceding paragraph, except for $37,000,000 held by the
Corporation in a revolving fund (capital of regional agricultural
credit corporations) were cancelled. As further disbursements
are made under these allocations, notes of the Corporation in
like amount are cancelled.
In order to more accurately reflect actual lending operations
of the corporation, the item "amount made available for relief
and work relief" (under the Emergency Relief and Construction
Act of 1932, as amended), which amounted to $282,826,000 at the
time of cancellation Hinder Public, No. 432, has been excluded
throughout this table. A direct loan of $146,500,000 to the
Rural Electrification Administration, advanced in varying amounts
from October 1936 through 1939, with practically no repayments,
which was reclassified as an allocation in May 1940, has similarly been excluded. The table also excludes purchase of securities
from Public Works Administration, $114,369,363 of which were outstanding on December 31, 1941.
Some comparatively small revisions have been made in the grand
total beginning 1937, which have not been allocated to the detail.
In the table the items specified are self-explanatory except
for the following: AH other under section 5, as amended, includes loans to Federal land banks, regional agricultural credit
corporations, joint-stock land banks, livestock credit corporations, State funds for insurance of public moneys, agricultural
credit corporations, the fishing industry, credit unions, and
processors or distributors subject to processing taxes; loans to
business (including participations) includes direct loans, purchases of participations, and agreements to purchase participations; total Bank Conservation Act, as amended, includes loans

on, subscriptions for, and purchases of preferred stocks, capital
notes, and debentures of banks and trust companies, subscriptions
for preferred stock of export-import banks, and beginning February 1941 purchase of stocks of Federal Home Loan Banks; other
loans and authorizations includes purchases of stock in the Reconstruction Finance Mortgage Company and in the Federal National
Mortgage Association, and a number of other loans of relatively
minor importance.
Monthly data for 1935-37, except for the total and "other loans
and authorizations" are correct as shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT;
1935-37 data for the items mentioned and earlier data for all
series are available on request.

See note 2, pp. 76,77.
Data are compiled by the Securities and Exchange Commission
and represent new securities offered for cash by all classes of
issuers. These statistics of new offerings have been substituted
in the SURVEY for the statistics of securities effectively registered formerly included in this publication. The new series includes flotations irrespective of whether the issues were publicly or privately placed and regardless of whether they were
registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The statistics thus
embrace certain corporate and noncorporate issuing groups exempt
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, by virtue
either of the nature of the transaction or issuer, such as securities of common carriers, issues placed privately, and Federal,
State and local government issues. Furthermore, the statistics
of new offerings include actual offerings only, whereas the statistics of registration reflect registrants* intentions t© sell
securities. In general, the data on new offerings cover issues
over $100,000 in amount and, in the case of debt issues, of a
maturity of one year and over that are reported as offered for
cash in the financial press, in documents filed with the Commission or other available sources. Omitted from the statistics are
issues which do not appear in the financial press (largely seeu«
rities sold through continuous offering, such as issues of openend investment companies), intercorporate transactions, and parts
of issues known to have been sold outside of the United States*
Estimated gross proceeds are derived by multiplying the principal amounts of units by offering prices except for municipal
issues for which principal amounts are used* Net proceeds represent estimated gross proceeds less estimated cost of flotation.
The figures for total net proceeds shown for industrial, public
utility, and other corporate, p. 79, include a small amount of
issues designated for "other purposes" not shown separately.
Definitions of the various classifications are as follows: The
public utility group comprises electric light and power, gas,
water, telephone and telegraph, and street railway companies.
The industrial group comprises manufacturing, mining, merchandising, construction, service industries, motor transportation, pipe
lines, steam shipping, aviation, and radio. The "other" corporate group includes finance and investment, real estate, and
issues of government corporations and credit agencies which are
not guaranteed by the Government, "United States Government and
agencies" includes United States Government direct issues and
issues guaranteed by the Government; only issues to the public
are included, the "special issues" (issues to trust funds and
government agencies) and other interagency sales being excluded;
sales of Treasury bills and tax series notes also are excluded
because of their short-term maturity. State and municipal issues
include all governmental subdivisions and issues of United States
territories and possessions and are as compiled by the Commercial
and Financial Chronicle. Foreign government issues exclude portions of issues offered abroad. Nonprofit agencies include educational, religious, charitable, etc., institutions.
These data compiled by the Security and Exchange Commission
differ in several respects from the series compiled by the Commercial and Financial Chronicle also included in the SURVEY. As
stated above, gross proceeds in the former are based on offering
price while the Chronicle data are based on offering price in the
case of preferred stock of no par value and all classes of common
stock but represent par amount for bonds, notes, and preferred
stock of a stated par value. Among the more important differences in coverage are the following: The Security and Exchange
Commission's data include United States Treasury issues excluded
from the Chronicle series. The corporate group in the Commission's series includes foreign corporate issues offered in the
United States and issues of Federal agencies which are not guaranteed, while the Chronicle's series covers only domestic corporate, excluding Federally owned corporations. The classification
of issues by purpose also differs in the two series. The Chronicle allocates proceeds either as being for refunding purposes

or nonrefunding purposes (new capital), including in the latter
category all uses except retirement of funded debt and preferred
stock.

Compiled by the Commercial and Financial Chronicle, . Included
in the series are all capital issues which are publicly listed
as being for sale, except bank loans and United States Treasury
issues. Securities sold at private sale are included when the
compilers are aware of such a sale. Securities of any character
issued to retire other outstanding securities are classified as
refunding. Domestic issues includes securities sold by all companies incorporated in the United States or its territories, regardless of where the funds may be spent. Foreign issues includes only that part of an issue of a foreign company which is
floated in the United States. The classification Federal agencies includes issues for which the United States Treasury acts
as fiscal agent such as those of the Federal intermediate credit
banks, the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation, the Federal land
banks, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and also those of the War Finance Corporation.
Joint-stock land bank issues are included (last issu£ dated May
12, 1933) /as well as any refunding issues subsequent to that
date. The item Municipal, States, etc,, contains financing of all
political subdivisions in the United States, but does not include
temporary loans or loans obtained directly by States and municipalities from Federal agencies. The compilers state, however,
that such issues are generally absorbed by one of several Federal
agencies, and are reflected in these statistics when they are
later sold by the original purchaser in the private* investment
market. Data on permanent State and municipal issues compiled
by The Bond Buyer and shown on p. 81 include loans to States and
mimicipalities by Federal agencies. Foreign comprises flotations
in American markets of bonds of foreign corporations and bonds of
foreign governments and their political subdivisions.
Issues of
United States territories and possessions are included with foreign issues.
However, issues of corporations in these places
are included with the domestic corporate issues.
Monthly figures for 1919-35 appear in table 55, pp. 14-21, of
the February 1938 SURVEY, and in table 56, p. 21, of the April
1938 issue. Monthly data for 1936-37 are shown in the 1940

Compiled by Moody's Investors Service. This series is based
on the monthly detailed lists of new corporate and municipal
issues published by the Commercial and Financial Chronicle. (For
description of the Chronicle data, see note 2 for pp.79 and 80.)
It is an estimate of the approximate portion of these issues
used for productive purposes, such as new plant construction,
additions and improvements, and purchases of equipment. Nonproductive issues comprise funds raised for mergers, acquisitions
of old property and refunding. Working capital is usually classified as1 nonproductive. The productive series makes no claim to
represent all possible sources of financing new construction
through security issues. Moreover, it takes no account of other
sources of funds for new construction, a large part of which is
financed from undistributed earnings and through bank loans.
Monthly data beginning 1921 may be found in table 34, p. 17,
of the September 1940 SURVEY.

Compiled by the Daily Bond Buyer and represent sales of securities by States and municipalities in the United States and
bonds of United States territories and insular possessions. Included in permanent loans are Public Works Administration loans
to non-Federal projects (excluding loans to railroads) as follows: 1933, $287,060,000; 1934, $227,121,000; 1935, $21,019,000;
1936, $18,125,000; 1937, $50,923,000; 1938, $53,036,000; 1939,
$17,257,000; 1940, $2,320,000; 1941, $1,300,000. Also included
in permanent loans are Reconstruction Finance Corporation loans
to States and municipalities as follows: 1932, $130,268,000;
1933, $206,302,000; 1934, $61,289,000; 1935, $58,162,000; 1936,

A comparison of these figures with those compiled by the Commercial and Financial Chronicle and shown in the second and
eighth columns of this page indicate that the differences between the two series are to a large extent due to the exclusion
from the Chronicle data of temporary loans, and such Reconstruction Finance Corporation and Public Works Administration loans
as those previously mentioned. Monthly data for 1923-37 except
1934-35 figures for temporary issues, are available in the 1940,
1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. Data on temporary loans beginning 1934 have been revised since the publication of the 1938
SUPPLEMENT because of the omission of certain New York City loans
from the original tabulations; the revised monthly figures for
1934-35 are available upon request.
" Compiled by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Commodity
Exchange Administration (formerly known as the Grain Futures
Administration) from reports furnished since July 10, 1923, by
the clearing members and clearing associations of the exchanges.
For wheat futures, reports are received from the Chicago Board
of Trade, Chicago Open Board, and the Minneapolis, Kansas City,
Duluth, St. Louis, Milwaukee, New York, Seattle, Portland, Omaha,
and Hutchinson exchanges.
For corn futures, reports are received from the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Open Board,
and the Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Milwaukee, and
Omaha exchanges. For the period January 3, 1921, to April 30,
1923, internal-revenue reports were virtually the only source
of information on the volume of trading in corn and wheat futures
on the Chicago Board of Trade. Between May 1, 1923, and July 9,
1923, these reports were utilized in conjunction with reports
made to the Grain Futures Administration.
Monthly data for the period 1921-35 shown on p. 20 of the March
1936 issue of the SURVEY are correct except for the following
revisions (bushels): Corn—July 1932, 98,283,000; wheat—June
1930, 1,377,342,000, and May 1934, 1,045,805,000. Monthly data

Compiled by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. The data are as of the end of the month or year specified and are based on the reports of member firms of the New York
Stock Exchange carrying margin accounts for customers. It is
estimated that these firms supply at least 90 percent of the
credit that is extended to customers by all brokers and dealers in
securities in the United States. The principal items published
in the Federal Reserve Bulletin are reproduced here. Customers'
debit balances represent credit extended by the reporting brokers
to their customers. Data exclude credit extended toother member
firms of the New York Stock Exchange, to member firms of other
national securities exchanges, and to the firms' own partners.
Figures given are "net," i.e., after deduction of offsetting
credit balances in individual accounts. Cash on hand and in
banks represents the cash resources of reporting brokers including cash segregated for the benefit of customers, Money borrowed
includes all borrowings on all types of collateral by member
firms of the New York Stock Exchange carrying margin accounts
for customers, except borrowings between firms. This series is
available only since September 1935. Earlier figures, shown here
in italics, differ from the present series chiefly in that they
represent borrowings on security collateral in New York only by
all member firms of the exchange.
This italicized series was
shown as a separate item in the 1936 SUPPLEMENT, p. 45, and the
1932 SUPPLEMENT, pp. 74-75, under the title "brokers' loans to
New York Stock Exchange members. " Another series on loans to
brokers appears in the table on condition of Federal Reserve
Weekly Reporting Member Banks in 101 cities (see p. 6 )
4 . Customers' free credit balances represent cash balances due from
brokers to customers who are in no way obligated to such brokers.
Monthly data beginning 1934 appear in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS. Earlier monthly data are published on p. 196 of the March
1938 Federal Reserve Bulletin.
The monthly Federal Reserve Bulletin gives further details including customers* "net" credit balances, debit and credit balances in partners' and firm investment and trading accounts, and
ledger credit balances in capital accounts. A detailed description of the data appeared in the Federal Reserve Bulletin for
September 1936.

Compiled by Standard and Poor's Corporation. These indexes
are an average of the median bond in each group. For the high
grade and medium and lower grade series, all bonds in a selected
list are first yielded to maturity and the average median yield
obtained*
The median yield is then converted to a price basis
by assuming a given coupon rate and maturity. The high grade index is based upon the average »f the 5 median yields in a list of
15 bonds. The price is obtained by assuming a 4-percent coupon
with 20 years to maturity. The medium and lower grade indexes
have been converted on the basis of a 5-percent coupon with 20
years to maturity. The railroad and public utility indexes are
based upon the mean of 4 median yields in a list of 10 medium
grade bonds averaged with the mean of 4 median yields in a list
of 10 lower grade bonds, and the industrials upon the mean of 3
median yields in a list of 5 medium grade bonds averaged with the
mean of 3 median yields in a list of 5 lower grade bonds. The
defaulted bond index is the average of 11 median actual prices
in a list of 15 issues, largely railroad bonds. All series are
computed on a daily basis and the daily figures averaged to obtain the monthly indexes.
Monthly data for 1937 are shown in table 36, p. 19, of the January 1942 issue of the SURVEY.

Compiled by Standard and Poor's Corporation (formerly by
Standard Statistics Co., Inc.). Based on Wednesday closing
prices beginning April 1930, on Thursday closing prices from January 1929 to April 1930, and on averages of monthly high and low
prices for earlier periods. An arithmetic average of yields to
maturity for the 15 high-grade municipal bonds is first computed
(see p. 84 for the yield series). The resulting series is then
converted to a price basis using bond yield tables* A 3-3/4percent coupon with 22 years to maturity is assumed. Monthly
figures for the period 1932-37 appear in the 1940, 1938, and 1936
SUPPLEMENTS; earlier monthly data are available on request.

Compiled by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. The monthly data are averages of daily figures. The
index shows the approximate trend of prices of a representative
bond of unchanging coupon rate and maturity. It is derived from
the average yield of all outstanding partially tax-exempt Treasury bonds due or callable after 12 years (the yield series shown
on p. 84) by calculating the price at which a bond having a coupon of 2-3/4 percent and! a term of 16 years would sell in order
to return the average yield. These are about the average term
and coupon rate that hs.ve prevailed since 1936; higher coupon
rates prevailed in earlier years. The index does not purport to
measure accurately the average level of actual market prices of
bonds, although, as the result of selecting for the "representative bond" one with a coupon rate and maturity typical of recent
years, at the present time it does measure this level approximately. For the earlier years, the level of the price index does not
conform to the average of actual prices which reflected the higher coupon rates prevailing at that time, but fluctuations in the
index may be considered, as typical of those in actual prices.
The discontinued series on bond prices shown in earlier SUPPLEMENTS, which was a simple average of market prices of all Treasury bonds due or callable after 12 years, was useful in sliowing
the market prices of these bonds and changes over short periods
that did not involve differences in issues included but was not
Suitable for long-time comparisons. Bonds removed from the average as their term to call date became 12 years or less generally
had higher coupon rates than nev/ bonds added, and consequently
sold at higher prices; therefore, substitutions broke the continuity of the series and tended to lower the average price irrespective of market fluctuations. These substitutions caused only
negligible breaks in the yield series, from which the present
price index is derived, as yields on bonds added or old bonds
dropped conformed closely to yields of issues included in the
average.

are usually effected two days after the actual trading date. The
reports are from all registered exchanges, but most of the sales
are made on the New York Stock Exchange (for which figures are
given separately) and on the New York Curb Exchange. Data include sales of mortgage certificates and certificates of deposit.
These figures cover all sales on registered exchanges, except
that for October 1934-March 1935 stopped sales on the New York
Stock Exchange and New York Curb Exchange are excluded. Figures

movements of bonds on the exchange and the growth in the securities listed. The figures have been compiled on a monthly basis
(as of the end of the month) as far back as December 1924. The
increase in the bond figures in April 1928 was due to the inclusion in the total of $12,000,000,000 face value British Government bonds. The removal of $10,000,000,000 face value of these
bonds during December 1932 caused a drop in the total for that

shown here, averages by ratings are calculated for the industrial,
public utility, and railroad groups.
Occasional substitutions in the bond list have been made when
ratings have been changed, when a bond has been called, when a
bond sold too far above its call price, or because of approaching maturity. Suitable adjustments (usually small), which are
gradually amortized, are introduced to prevent such substitutions
from impairing the comparability of the series. No convertible
or other unusual issues are included and the average maturity is
close to 30 years.
Only 60 bonds were used in the averages from 1919 to 1027, inclusive. From 1928 to 1933, inclusive, 120 bonds were used; no
adjustment was required to connect the two series. Since 1933
a smaller number of bonds (never less than 99) have been used
owing to a lack of suitable issues. Proper adjustments have been
made in the averages, however, so that they remain comparable
throughout.
Monthly data beginning 1919 appear in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS and in table 45, pp. 19-20, of the November 1937 SURVEY.

Compiled by Standard and Poor's Corporation (formerly by
Standard Statistics Co., Inc.). Beginning April 1930 the yields
are based on Wednesday closing prices; from January 1929 to March
1930 on Thursday closing prices. Beginning January 1929, the indexes are an average of the four or five weekly indexes for the
month. Earlier figures are based on the mean of the monthly high

and low prices. The series is an arithmetic average of yields
to maturity of IS high-grade municipal bonds* The yield series
is used to compute the price data for municipal bonds shown on
p. 82. Monthly figures beginning 1923 which appear in the 1940,
1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are correct except as follows:
1930—January, 4.22; 1931—July, 3.85; August, 3.83; September,
3.91; October, 4.35; November, 4,42; December, 4.64.
" Compiled by the V. S. Treasury Department, The monthly data
are averages of daily figures. Beginning January 1926, average
yields are based on all outstanding partially tax-exempt Treasury
bonds not due or callable for 12 years or more. Earlier figures
are for partially tax-exempt Treasury bonds not due or callable
for 8 years or more, together with certain Liberty Loan issues.
Averages of the two sets of bonds are identical from January 1926
to July 1928.
Monthly data beginning 1919 appear in table 16, p. 18, of the
March 1939 SURVEY and in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT.

Compiled by Moody's Investors Service. The 600 common stocks
used for the index include practically every active stock traded
in on the exchange, as well as 42 bank and insurance stocks quoted over the counter, and are identical for the entire period
covered. The method of computation is as follows: For each of
the 600 companies a monthly record is made of the total annual
cash dividends (both regular and extra) which would be paid on
the basis of the most recently announced rate. Each month's aggregate of dividends for all 600 companies (column 1 of this
series) is then divided by the total number of shares outstanding
during the month, after adjusting for stock dividends and splits
in order to eliminate the effects of changes in share capitalization (column 2), to obtain the average dividend rate per share
(column 1, p. 8 )

Compiled by Dow-Jones & Co., Inc., from the daily closing
quotations furnished by the Wall Street Journal. The figures
shown here are averages of the daily figures. The industrial
averages included 12 stocks until September 1916, when the number
was increased to 20 and the new average worked back to December
1914,
In October 1928, the number was increased to 30. The
railroad averages include 20 stocks over the entire period, and
the public utility averages are for 20 stocks until June 1938
when the number was reduced to 15, Changes have been made in
the stocks used for the averages at various times. Over the period covered a number of split-ups have occurred, and many large
stock dividends have been paid. Adjustment has been made for
these changes and the historical continuity of the series has
been preserved. A complete description of the methods used in
constructing the index, together with daily and hourly indexes,
are given in "The Dow-Jones Averages, " published by Barren's
Book Department, 30 Kilby Street, Boston, Mass.
Earlier monthly data which appear in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS, and for industrials, rails, and utilities in the 1936 and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS are correct except for minor revisions. For
the average of 65 stocks, see table 73, p. 19, of the September

Compiled by Standard and Poor's Corporation* These indexes,
originally published as a relative of a 1926 base, have been
OF CURRENT BUSINESS
computed on the broader 1935-39 base with changes in the number
of companies included. The formula used is a "base-weighted aggregative " where the weighting factor is the number of shares <of
each stock outstanding in the base period. Certain modifications
of this method have been found necessary to make allowance for
the sale of new stock through the issuance of rights, consolidations, and for the addition of new securities necessary to
maintain group representations as new corporations are formed in
an industry. The index of 402 common stocks includes the industrial, public-utility, and railroad stocks, but not the bank
and fire and marine insurance stocks.
The indexes beginning May 1930 are based upon Wednesday's
closing prices or the last preceding sale price. Prior to May
1930, the data were based on quotations for a different day, with
the selection of the particular day of the week based on the
publication requirements of the weekly service of the company.
The actual dates of these quotations appear on p. 80 of "Long
Term Security Price Index Record'* published by Standard and
Poor's Corporation. For a complete description of the indexes,
together with weekly figures beginning January 1918, refer to
pp. 3-11 and 73-74 of the same publication.
Monthly data beginning 1918 for all series except capital goods
and consumers' goods and beginning 1926 for these two series,
are available in table 37, pp. 20-21, of the January 1942 SURVEY.

Compiled by the Securities and Exchange Commission on the
basis of trades cleared during the month. Clearances are usually
effected two days after the actual trading date. Sales of Voting
Trust Certificates, American Depository Receipts, Certificates
of Deposit, Rights, and Warrants are included. Data represent
the total value and volume of stocks sold on all registered exchanges, except that for the period October 1934-March 1935
they exclude odd-lot and stopped sales on the New York Stock Exchange and New York Curb Exchange.
Securities and Exchange Commission data first became available
in October 1934. Earlier data on volume of sales are shown here
for the New York Stock Exchange only, but it should be observed
that these figures, which are compiled by the New York Times,
exclude odd-lot and stopped sales. For this latter series,
monthly data beginning 1923 appear in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and in
the 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS under the title "Stock
Sales, New York Stock Exchange. "
Earlier monthly data for the Securities and Exchange Commission

Computed by Noddy's Investors Service and represent the
weighted average yields of 200 common stocks, by groups, as of
the last day of the month. The weighted average yield consists
of the aggregate annual common dividends being paid by the 200
companies as of each given date, divided by the aggregate market
valuation of all outstanding common shares of these companies as
of the same date. The comparison is for 200 identical companies,
regardless of whether a particular company is on a dividendpaying basis at any given time. A record of average yields
based on dividend-paying stocks only, if including a large number of companies, would have to use a widely varying number of
stocks over the period covered by this record. It, therefore,
seems preferable to use an identical group of companies regardless of their dividend status on any particular date* Earlier
monthly data appear in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and on p. 18 of the
September 1936 SURVEY.

Compiled by Standard and Poor's Corporation. Beginning February 1928, yields are computed for each of 15 high-grade noncallable issues, including public utility as well as industrial
preferred stocks* The group yield is determined from the average
of the 9 median yields. The indexes are based upon one price
weekly with thenronthiy index computed from the average of the
four or five weekly indexes of the month. Prior to February
1928, the yields are computed from the average price of 20 industrial preferred stocks. The prices were an average of the means
of the monthly high and low prices on each issue. Throughout the
series the issues are converted to a price equivalent to $100 par
and a 7 percent annual dividend before averaging. Revised indexes were computed for several years prior to 1928 and the switch
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
from the indexes for the yields of the old series of 20 preferred
industrial stocks to the new series of 15 preferred stocks was
made at a time when the two series were equal, thus not disturbing the trend.

Indexes other than those for agricultural products are compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce', for source of indexes of agricultural exports

The export index is based on value of total merchandise exports, including reexports of foreign merchandise. Annual indexes for both the export and import series are computed directly from annual totals. The adjusted index has been corrected
for seasonal variations by factors selected from the deviations
of the monthly figures from the 12-month moving average for the
period 1921 through 1931. For the export index, the factors
used prior to 1926 were slightly different from those used for
subsequent years owing to allowance for special movements in
certain large agricultural exports. For the import index, the
same factors have been used throughout the entire period. Compilation of these indexes has been discontinued since seasonal
influences have ceased to be an important factor under wartime
conditions.
Monthly figures prior to 1938 may be found in the 1940, 1938,
1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Approximately 265 commodities are included in the direct
calculations of the quaint ity and unit-value (price) indexes.
(The commodities used in £he computations represented about 70
percent of the total value of United States merchandise exports
for 1919-29, 52-65 percent for 1930-39, and 48 and 39 percent,
respectively, for 1940 and 1941.) It is then assumed that the
prices of articles in each economic class not directly covered
have moved in parallel with those of articles covered, and their
value, adjusted by computed price indexes for each class, is included in the aggregative totals from which the quantity and
unit-value indexes of total exports are calculated. The indexes
are constructed by the use of a modified form of the so-called
"ideal formula. " By the use of the formula, the product of the
unit value and quantity indexes is equal to the value index in
any given month or year. In order to permit month-to-montSh comparisons, the indexes are constructed on the chain system. Link
index numbers are first constructed, the monthly average quantities and unit values in a given year serving as the base af the
index for each month of the succeeding year. These links are
then "chained*1 to the 1923-25 base. The annual indexes are computed directly from the total annual data. Quarterly figures
for January 1932-June 1933 and monthly figures for July 1933December 1937 are available in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SBJPPLEMENTS, Quarterly figures from 1929 through 1932 may be found in
"Foreign Trade of the United States in 1935" published by the
U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce.
^ Import index numbers are based on general imports far all
years through 1933 and on imports for consumption beginning 1934
(see note 1, p. 89, for explanation of the two import classifications). The annual indexes are not derived from monthly indexes but are computed directly from the annual totals. The change
in the basis of reporting import statistics made at the beginning
of 1934 necessitated "splicing" the 1934 statistics (imports for
consumption) to the statistics for early years (general imparts).
This was accomplished by multiplying the 1933 general import indexes by the percentage change in the quantity, unit value, and
value of imports for consumption from 1933 to 1934.
The method of computing the import indexes is the same as that
used for the export indexes (described in note 3). Approximately 265 commodities (representing since 1919 about 70 percent of
211
the value of total imports for consumption) are included in the
direct calculations.
Quarterly indexes for January 1932-June 1933 and monthly indexes July 1933-December 1937 may be found in the 1940, 1938,
and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS. Quarterly figures from 1929 through 1932
may be found in "Foreign Trade of the United States in 1935"
published by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Agriculture, Office of
Foreign Agricultural Relations, from basic data of the U. S.
Department of Commerce, These indexes replace the data shown
in earlier SUPPLEMENTS. The index numbers for periods since
January 1924 have been computed by weighting quantities traded
in a given period by average unit values during the 6-year base
period. The indexes prior to 1924 were computed by linking the
current series with earlier indexes for which average unit values
during the 5 years July 1909-June 1914 were used as weights.
To convert the old indexes to the more recent base, they were
divided by the averages of their monthly values (not adjusted
for seasonal variations) during the 6 years,1924-29. The monthly index numbers since January 1924 are adjusted for seasonal
variations by a variant of the simple-averages method. No adjusted data are available prior to 1924*
The export index is based on exports of 74 commodity classifications which, during the 1924-29 base period, amounted to 96
percent of the total value of agricultural exports. The index
prior to 1924 is based on data for 44 commodity classifications
covering about 90 percent of the agricultural exports. The cotton classification covers cotton fibers and linters. Separate
indexes not shown in the Survey of Current Business are available for cotton, tobacco, fruits, wheat including flour, grains
and grain products other than wheat, cured pork, and lard.
The import index is based on data for imports of 122 commodity classifications which, during the 1924-29 base period,
amounted to 97 percent of the total value of agricultural imports. Prior to 1924 the index is based on 70 commodity classifications covering about 89 percent of the total value of agricultural imports. Separate indexes are prepared for supplementary and complementary imports (complementary imports consist of
products that are neither commercially produced in the United
States nor to any significant extent used interchangeably with
agricultural commodities commercially produced in the United
States; supplementary consists of the remaining items). Individual import indexes are computed for sugar and molasses, dairy
products, hides and skins, grains, tobacco, vegetable oils, and
oilseeds, and dutiable wool and are shown in the Department of
Agriculture releases.
A complete description and historical data for all series are
shown in a special release of the Department of Agriculture issued April 1941, entitled, "New Quantity Indexes of the Foreign
Trade of the United States in Agricultural Products. " Monthly
data for years prior to 1938 are available on request. Data
since September 1941 are not available for publication.

Data from the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and Bureau of the
Census thereafter. Complete monthly details may be found in the
"Monthly Summary of Foreign Commerce of the United States, " published by the Bureau of the Census. The statistics are compiled
from copies of Export Declarations and Import Entries filed with
the United States customs officials. The statistics show trade
(except gold and silver in the form of ore, bullion, and coin)
between the United States (continental United States, Alaska,
Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and for January 1, 1935 through December 31,
1939, the Virgin Islands) and foreign countries but do not include trade between continental United States and the noncontiguous territories named above. The Philippine Islands and the
Panama Canal Zone are considered for these statistical purposes
as foreign countries.
Total exports include exports of United States merchandise
plus reexports of foreign merchandise. General imports include
merchandise entering consumption channels immediately upon arrival plus entries into bonded warehouses. Imports for consumption represent merchandise entering consumption channels immediatelyupon arrival,plus withdrawals from bonded warehouses.
The value figures are in United States dollars unadjusted for
the change in the gold content of the dollar in January 1934.
Export values are those declared by the shipper at the time of
212

exportation (except reexports from bonded warehouses, which are
expressed at import values). Values of containers and coverings
are included.
If the merchandise is produced at an interior
placet freight: charges to the point of export are included, but
freight and other charges from the place of departure in the
United States to the destination in the foreign country are not
included. The import value, as defined in section 402 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, is usually the "market value or the price
at the time of. exportation of such merchandise to the United
States, at which such or similar merchandise is freely offered
for sale to all purchasers in the principal markets of the country from which exported, in the usual wholesale quantities and
in the ordinary course of trade, including the cost of all containers and coverings of whatever nature, and all other costs,
charges, and expenses incident to placing the merchandise in
condition, packed ready for shipment to the United States.*'
Essentially the same definition was carried in previous tariff
acts. The foreign values of imported merchandise are converted
into United States currency at the rate of exchange prevailing
on the day the merchandise is shipped to the United States.
The publication of foreign trade statistics by countries and
by commodities has been discontinued for the duration of the war.

Data for the Southeastern Express Co., which was absorbed by the Railway Express
Agency in July 1938, are included beginning May 1921, when the
first report of that company was filed. The data represent practically complete coverage of the express business on railroads,
plus the operations of the express companies servicing electric
linest steamboats, stage lines, and airplanes. Operating income
represents net operating revenues (equal to the difference between total operating revenues and operating expenses), less uncollectible revenue from transportation and express taxes.

Compiled by the American Transit Association, Data on average cash fares are based on fares paid in 357 cities having population of 25,000 or more, according to the 1930 Census. A few
cities in this size classification are excluded, either because
they did not have an organized public transportation system
throughout the full period covered by the data, or because information regarding the fares paid in such cities is incomplete.
The average fare is unweighted; i.e., each city, regardless of
size, counts as a unit in the average. Averages are computed as
of the last day of the month. No adjustments have been made for
token fares or passes. Fares paid to motor bus and trolleybus
operators have been substituted where such services have replaced
street railways. Monthly data for 1936-37 have been revised
since publication of the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and are available on
request.
Data for passengers carried cover revenue passengers, including bus passengers, as reported by transit companies representing, beginning 1936, about 93 percent of the passenger traffic
of all companies in the industry. Data for 1936 cover reports
of 206 companies. Reported figures for earlier years have been
linked to the data for 206 companies by the use of percentage
changes based on the comparison of each month with the corresponding month in the preceding year, the number of companies
being identical in both years. The comparability of the series
is not seriously affected by the extrapolition of the figures
for 1929-35, since the companies included in all years carried
over 90 percent of the passenger traffic of all companies in the
industry. Data for 1937 are for 203 companies; 1938, 196 companies; 1939, 192 companies; and 1940 and 1941, 188 companies.
The coverage, however, has remained approximately the same.
The
change in the number of companies has been due to companies discontinuing business or ceasing to report and other companies
having started to report. Monthly figures for 1936-37 appear in
the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; earlier monthly data are in the 1938 SUPPLBMENT and in table 10, p. 15, of the March 1939 SURVEY.
Data on revenues are estimates of total revenues from electric
railways, motor-bus lines operated by electric railways, motorbus lines operated by subsidiary companies controlled by electric
railways, and motor-bus lines operated by former electric railway
companies which have abandoned all street-railway operations.
They do not include revenues from independent motor-bus companies or from motor-bus operations substituted for electric-railway
services which have been taken over and are now operated by interests not identified with the former electric railway. Monthly
figures for 1934-37 appear in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS;
revised data for 1932-33 are available upon request.

from the weekly data by prorating the figures for weeks not included entirely within a single month according to the number of
working days falling in each month. Daily averages for each
class of freight are computed and related to the~"1935-39 daily
average. Allowance is made for Sundays, New Year's Day, Washington's Birthday (1/2 day), Memorial Day (1/2 day), Independence
Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas.
In computing seasonal adjustment factors, for all groups except ore loadings, the ratio-to-freehand-curve method was used.
For the seasonal factors beginning 1931 for ore loadings, the
usual procedure was modified for April and May and for October
and November. The distortion resulting from the very erratic
movement of loadings of iron ore in these months is lessened by
treating April and May as a single period for seasonal adjustment
purposes and treating October and November similarly. A single
index for each of these periods has been computed and assigned
to each of the two months in the period. In maintaining the
index currently, preliminary indexes are computed for April and
October and these arc revised when the succeeding month* s figures, become available. Prior to 1931 the ratio-to-moving-averagc
method was used to obtain the seasonal adjustment factors for
ore loadings.
For the period beginning in 1931, weights derived from 1935-39
revenues by commodities, published by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, have been used in combining the indexes for eight
classes of freight into the total index, while prior to 1931
weights based on 1928 revenues were used. For the earlier period, the total index was lowered 1 percent to make it continuous
with the index for succeeding years based on 1935-39 revenue
weights. The two sets of weights used are as follows:

from the 15th through the last day of the month from January 1932
to September 1939; the week ended on the last Saturday of the
month beginning June 1941, The comparability of the series is
not destroyed by using varying periods. Data include only cars
of Class I railroads of the United States. Cars of Canadian
roads and privately owned cars are excluded. Reports of the
Association also give details for additional types of cars, by
districts and by individual railroads, for shortages(orders for
cars which cannot be filled) as well as surpluses. For monthly
data beginning 1923 see the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. Revisions not shown in the latter are as follows, in
thousands of cars: December 1928—total, 411; box, 199; coal,
159; August 1930 —total, 432; box, 233; coal, 142.

Compiled by the Interspace Commerce Commission. Data cover
Class I railroads only (those having annual operating revenues
in excess of $1,000,000) and exclude switching and terminal companies. The operating revenues of Class I roads represent about
98 percent of the total operating revenues of all roads.
Net railway operating income represents operating revenues
remaining after deducting operating expenses, railway tax accruals, and equipment and joint facility rents. Net income is the
remainder after deducting from net railway operating income the
fixed and contingent charges and certain miscellaneous items.
Annual totals of monthly net income figures shown here differ
materially from net income shown in the annual reports of the
Commission, owing primarily to the elimination from the monthly
figures of intra-system dividend payments. Data for net income
are not available prior to 1931.
Freight carried includes both revenue and non-revenue freight.
Revenue passengers carried represent all passengers, including
commutation.
The number of Class I railroads varies slightly from year to
year. Data given in the Commission's monthly reports for the
latest month and for the corresponding month a year earlier are
based on the roads reporting in the most recent month; any revisions made in the figures for the earlier year are included in
the SURVEY presentation, and hence data for the maximum number
of railroads are not always included. For this reason, the data
shown here will differ slightly from those appearing in annual
reports of the Commission entitled "Statistics of Railways in the
United States."
Monthly data on operating revenues, operating expenses, and net
railway operating income for the period 1922 to 1933 appear on
p. 20 of the April 1934 issue of the SURVEY; those for 1934-37
are given in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS. Monthly data prior
to 1938 for taxes and joint facility and equipment rents may be
obtained by deducting operating expenses and net railway operating income from operating revenues. This series has been included to provide figures for obtaining total railway expenses
as given in the adjusted figures of financial operations (see
note 2 to p. 9 )

^ Compiled fay the Association of American Railroads,Car Service Division, and represent cars of revenue freight loaded for
all reporting Class I roads and their subsidiaries. The roads
reporting are identical for the entire period covered, except
for consolidations and abandonments. Most Class I roads are included* The data include all cars of revenue freight originated
for initial road haul by reporting road and all cars of revenue
freight for initial road haul by reporting road which are originated in switch service or connecting roads. Figures are placed
on a monthly basis in accordance with the number of weeks ending
within each month of the year 1941, and this number governs the
number of weeks in each month of the years prior to 19410 The
months consist of exactly 4 weeks, with the exception of March,
May, August, and Novcmber, which cover 5 weeks. Monthly data

Computed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. The basic data used are statistics compiled by the
Interstate Commerce Commission shown in part^on this page and
p. 97. (For a description'of the data see note 4 for p. 9 . ) In
7,
computing the seasonally adjusted data, the basic figures are
first placed on a uniform-month basis by dividing the totals by
the number of working days in the month and multiplying the result by 1/12 of the total number of working days in the year.
The seasonal adjustments are obtained directly for passenger and
freight revenues, but for total operating revenues, total railway
expenses (operating expenses plus railway tax accruals and equipment and joint facility rents), net railway, operating income
(total operating revenues less total railway expenses), and net
income, the adjustments are made in the major classifications of
revenue and expense, and the seasonally adjusted figures so derived are combined to obtain the series shown here. The seasonal
adjustment factors were computed by the modified ratio-to-12month-moving-average method generally used by the Board.
Seasonally adjusted data for net income were obtained for the
period from 1931 to date by adding to the seasonally adjusted
net railway operating income already compiled, a 12-month moving
average of "other income" and then subtracting "other fixed
charges" and a moving average of interest charges. The use of
2
214
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
12-month moving averages rather than the usual method of seasonal
adjustment for "other income" and interest charges was decided
upon because the short-term movements of these series are very
irregular and because the monthly figures are based to a considerable extent on annual estimates made by the roads. For "other
fixed charges" a seasonal adjustment did not appear necessary.
For the period 1923 through 1930 monthly data on "other income"
and fixed charges were not available and published annual figures
were used as a basis for estimating monthly differences between
net railway operating income and net income. The annual figures on "other income" and fixed charges are not strictly comparable with the monthly data, but the differences are small.
Considering this, and also the fact that short-term shifts in
these items are of little significance, it is believed that the
procedure followed introduced no important discrepancies in the
seasonally adjusted series for net income.
Monthly data beginning 1923 are shown in table 33, p. 16, of
the September 1940 SURVEY.

Monthly averages are obtained by dividing the yearly totals by 7, the number of months during which the canals are usually open. This method presents a figure fairly comparable with
monthly averages for other statistical series. Monthly figures
beginning 1925 shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are correct as shown except for the St. Lawrence, June

Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio River traffic compiled by
the U. 5. (far Department, Corps of Engineers. This traffic is
principally coal. Monthly figures are estimates of the cargo
tonnage, whereas annual averages are based on actual records received at the end of each year from individual shippers (in the
1932 SUPPLEMENT the annual averages are based on the monthly figures as reported). In some instances these annual averages include large tonnages not distributed by months. The averages for
1941 are based on the sum of the monthly data, the final estimates for the year not being available at this time. Figures for
the Ohio River represent the Pittsburgh district only, which includes, through June 1930, the stretch between Pittsburgh, Pa.,
and Beach Bottom, W. Va., just below lock No. 11, a-distance of
77 miles; beginning with July 1930 the stretch was extended to
Powhatan Point, Ohio, below lock No. 13, a distance of 109 miles.
Data for .the Monongahela River are for the stretch between Pittsburgh and Fairmont, W. Va. For the Allegheny River, the section
included extends from Pittsburgh to Riverton, Pa. (slack-water
portion prior to 1927, Pittsburgh to Natrona, Pa.). Monthly figures for the period 1923-37 appear in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and

Compiled by Horwath & Horwath. Data represent a compilation
from reports of a large number of hotels, transient and residential, throughout the country. In 1926, when the scries was first
compiled, reports from about 100 hptels were included. At the
present time data cover reports from between 300 and 400 hotels
in about 140 cities (both large and small)located in 30 States.
Practically all of the hotels included operate throughout the
year. Figures for average sale per occupied room cover room
revenue only. An indication of the trend of room sales can be
obtained by multiplying average sales per occupied room by the
percent of total rooms occupied. The resulting series would reprcfscnt the average sale per available room.
The restaurant sales indexes for each month are related to
the corresponding month of the base year 1929. As the sample
varies from month to month, it is necessary to compute the index
from percentage changes (the given month as compared with the
2
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
corresponding month in the preceding year) based on the reports
received. (Separate figures for the principal cities are also
compiled and issued in the Horwath and Korwath reports), For

the Philippine Islands are treated as a foreign country; hence,
citizens of the Islands admitted to the United States for permanent residence on and after May 1, 1934, arc included as immigrant aliens. Emigrants represent alien residents of the United
States departed for intended permanent residence in a foreign
country. Immigrants represent aliens or newcomers admitted for
permanent residence in the United States.
Data regarding arrivals and departures of United States citizens cover all travel between United States seaports and foreign
countries (since July 1932 passengers making cruises or roundtrips without change of vessel have been excluded), and permanent
arrivals and departures via international land boundaries.
Monthly figures beginning 1923 are correct as shown in the

the totals prior to this time include data for this park cSuring
the 4 months only. Monthly averages prior to 1932 are for the
travel year, October 1 to September 30. Monthly figures beginning 1932 appear in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS.

* Compiled by the Federal Communications Commission beginning
1934; prior to that time by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Data are for carriers having annual operating revenues in excess
of $250,000 and cover 91 reporting companies for 1932-38, 90 for
1939 (two companies having merged), 94 for 1940, and 97 for 1941.
The companies reporting for 1941 accounted for about 96 percent
of the gross revenues of all telephone carriers in 1937 as reported in the Census of Electrical Industries for that year.
Figures prior to 1932, shown here in italics are for a slightly
larger group of carriers. The comparability of the data was
affected to a minor degree by the change in the number of companies according to overlapping data for 1932, the change being
less than 0.5 percent for all series. However, the comparability of the series for operating expenses and for net operating
income (operating income prior to 1932) was seriously affected
beginning 1932 by changes in accounting classifications-. Monthly
averages for 1932 comparable to the averages shown for 1931 are
as follows: Operating expenses, $58,513,000; operating income,
$18,672,000. The effect of the change in the classification on
the data for operating revenues was negligible.
215
It should also be noted that operating statistics for certain
months reflect adjustments for refunds which can not be allocated
to the periods in which they properly belong. These refunds are
not sufficiently large to seriously distort comparisons, except
in June 1934, when a large refund covering a period of 11 years
reduced both the revenue and expense accounts by approximately
$16,000,000.
The annual statistics for telephones in service prior to 1938
are as of December 31.
Monthly data for 1916 through 1932 for the earlier series for
the larger number of companies based on the old system of accounts are available on request. For the current series, monthly
data beginning 1934 are in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS; data
for 1933 will be supplied on request.
^ Compiled by the Federal Communications Commission. Data
for telegraph and cable carriers are from reports of three telegraph and five cable carriers and for radiotelegraph from reports of 10 carriers ( subsequent to December 1937 because
9
of a merger) having annual operating revenues of $50,000 or
more. These companies account for practically all the telegraph, cable, and radiotelegraph business according to the Census of Electrical Industries: 1937.
The data for telegraph
and cable carriers include a comparatively small amount of revenue from telephone and transmission-cable and radiotelegraph
operations.
Monthly data for telegraph and cable operations beginning 1935
are shown in table 48, p.;16 of the November 1940 SURVEY; earlier
monthly data have been compiled only for revenues of telegraph
carriers and are available, beginning 1920, on request. Monthly
data for revenues of radiotelegraph carriers are available beginning 1935 and are shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS.

* Compiled by the V. S. Treasury Department, Bureau of Internal
Revenue, and represent complete coverage of the industry, including operations in Puerto Rico and Hawaii. Statistics are for
denaturing plants and include both completely denatured and
specially denatured alcohol. Data include small quantities produced from rum and other spirits. The consumption figures represent removals from the plants and include the amount shipped t©
bonded dealers. A wine gallon is a standard United States gallon
of 231 cubic inches.
Complete data, by States, withdrawals by formulas, amount used
in manufacturing by kinds of products, materials used, etc., are
contained in annual reports published by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue.
Slight revisions have been made in some figures prior to July
1933 which are not incorporated in these data nor in monthly d&ca
shown in the 1932 and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS. These revision?! arc
available only as fiscal year totals and are shown in the publication "Statistics Concerning Intoxicating Liquors, " December
1933 issue, prepared by the Treasury Department, Bureau cf Industrial Alcohol. The monthly data through 1934 shonn in previous
SUPPLEMENTS are substantially corrects except for consumption
figures which have been revised as follows (thousands of wi.;^
gallons): 1927—January, 4,924; 1928—November, 11, *;<J4; 1930—
February, 5,576; October, 12,756; 1931—September, 7,7iC; October, 9,043. For 1935-37 monthly figures, see the 1940, and 1938
SUPPLEMENTS (revision: Production, July 1936, 6,722). The
monthly averages for 1927-33 which are given here are the most
accurate calendar-year figures that can be secured and are probably correct within 2 percent.
Publication of data beginning December 1941 has been diseontinued for the duration of the war.

Compiled by the U. S. Treasury Department, Bureau of Internal
Revenue, and represent complete coverage of the industry, including operations in Hawaii and Puerto Eico. The amount of alcohol
withdrawn from bonded warehouses represents only the amounts
withdrawn tax-paid and for denaturation. Additional quantities
are withdrawn for hospital, scientific, and educational use; for
use of United States and subdivisions; for export; for transfer
to vinegar plants; and in Puerto Rico for medicinal, beverage,
and other purposes. These transactions, of course, affect the
stock figures which represent the amount remaining in warehouses
at the end of each month. Stocks are also affected by losses.
A proof gallon is a wine gallon (231 cubic inches) of 100 proof
spirits.
More complete annual figures, including details by States, are
contained in the annual bulletin "Statistics on Alcohol," published by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Some revisions have been made in data prior to July 1933 which
are not incorporated in these data nor in monthly data shown in
the 1932 and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS. These revisions are available
only as fiscal year totals and are shown in the publication
"Statistics Concerning Intoxicating Liquors, " December 1933, prepared by the Treasury Department, Bureau of Industrial Alcohol.
A check of the SUFVEY data for 1920-33 with these totals reveals
no serious discrepancies other than in stock figures for July
1926 to May 1928, which were erroneous as published in the 1932
SUPPLEMENT and should not be used. The correct stock figure for
June 1927 comparable with those for June 1926 and June 1928 is
8,750,000 proof gallons instead of 7,496,000. Figures for the
intervening months are not available.
Subject to these qualifications monthly data for 1923-37 shown
in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are correct, except
for the following revisions (thousands of proof gallons): Production—1928, April, 10,784; 1931, July, 11,975; August, 12,363;
December, 14,002. \Vithdrawnfordenaturing—1927, August, 13,212.
Monthly data for tax-paid withdrawals for 1925-31 are shown on

Compiled by the I). S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census since April 1941 and Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce prior to that time. Monthly data for 1924-37 shown in the
1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are correct, except the
figure for July 1931, which should be 77,662 gallons. Data for
1913-23 shown in the 1932 and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS include exports
of denatured ethyl alcohol, and are not comparable with the
present series which is for methanol only.
tf
Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, and represent the average of the Friday market prices
(low). Data for natural refined methanol are prices of methyl
alcohol, 95 percent, in drums, carlots, f.o.b. eastern works.
Data for synthetic methanol are for technical, pure, methyl
alcohol, tanks, large lots, f.o.b. works, freight allowed east of
the Rocky Mountains.
Monthly data for the natural methanol price for 1923-37 are
shown in the 1940 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS. Monthly data for
the price of synthetic methanol beginning 1926 are available on
request.
5
Compiled by the V, S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, from reports received from a varying number of reporting
firms. For crude methanol the reports are believed to cover
approximately 80 percent of the industry from 1930 to 1933, and
for subsequent years they are practically complete. The refined
equivalent of crude production is approximately 82* percent. The
synthetic methanol data are practically complete throughout.
Data beginning January 1941 for synthetic methanol are not strictly comparable with figures for earlier years. Monthly data for
1930-31 are given on p. 20 of the April 1933 SURVEY, and those
for 1932-37 appear in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the Institute of Makers of Explosives beginning
July 1933 and prior to that time by the V. S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Mines (now in the U. S. Department of the
Interior). The data cover the manufacture and sale for domestic
consumption of black blasting powder, permissibles, and other
high explosives only, and do not include ammunition and fireworks, or nitroglycerin.
The Institute states that for 1933-41 the figures are based on
reports from all companies manufacturing black blasting powder
and permissible explosives; for'high explosives other than permissibles the data cover more than 96 percent of the industry
in 1933-35, and about 94 percent in subsequent periods. The
coverage for the years 1926-33 is believed to be equally as high,
and a comparison with Census figures, making allowance for
changes in the Census classification, indicates that the data
beginning 1926 are comparable throughout.
The data for 1913-25 shown here are also comparable for that
entire period. They are based on annual estimates of the Bureau
of Mines for total shipments, including estimates for nonreporting firms, and are not exactly comparable with the figures beginning 1926.
The 1926 monthly average comparable with that for
1925 shown here is 44,657,515 pounds. The 1913-25 data represent
approximate industry figures, whereas those since 1926 have a
coverage of 94 to 97 percent when compared with Census data for
the industry.
Monthly data 1926-32 given on p. 19 of the January 1934 SURVEY
and those for 1933-37 in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS
are correct as shown exceot that the figure for March 1933 should
be 16,169,000 pounds. Data for 1920-25 shown on p. 19 of the
January 1934 SURVEY and in the 1936 SUPPLEMENT have been replaced
by the figures shown in this volume due to inaccuracies brought
about by «the varying coverage of the earlier series. No monthly
data are available prior to 1926.

Data for Texas are compiled from reports of the Comptroller
of Public Accounts, State of Texas. Data for Louisiana beginning 1937 have been reported by the Freeport Sulphur Company,
the only operating company in the State since that time. Prior
to 1937, data were reported by the Supervisor of Public Accounts
of Louisiana. Data represent complete production 6f sulphur in
these two states for the period covered. Over 99 percent of all
domestic sulphur produced prior to the latter part of 1932 came
from Texas, but with the development of Louisiana properties
subsequent to that date, the output of the 'latter State became
more important. The production of the two States now represents
over 99 percent of the total output.
Quarterly data for 1923-37 shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS are correct except for Texas, first quarter of
1933, which should be 214,440 long tons. Annual figures throughout are quarterly averages.

Except for the price series, data arc compiled by the V. 5.
Department of Commerce, Bureau o.f the Census, and represent the
operations of fertilizer manufacturers only. The data are complete, except for the failure of a few small plants to report in
1933-34, For 1927-32 the figures arc based on reports from 76
fertilizer manufacturers; subsequently, the number was reduced
as a result of mergers and companies discontinuing business;
in 1941, 54 manufacturers reported. Quantities are expressed
as basic 50° 3aum6. Beginning September 1941 the collection of
these data was discontinued. The Bureau of Census is now col*
lee ting data for consumption, shipments, and stocks from all sulfuric acid manufacturers; these data are available beginning
September 1941.
Monthly data for consumption, production, .purchases, and shipments, 1928-31, given in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT, arc correct except
for the following December 1931 revisions (in short tons): Consumption, 99,502; shipments to fertilizer manufacturers, 22,213;
shipments to others, 29,043; monthly data for 1932-37 are given
in the 1936 and 1940 SUPPLEMENTS. Monthly data for 1936-37 for
stocks are shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; earlier monthly data
beginning 1928 are available on request.

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Data represent the average of the Friday market
price (low) of sulfuric acid in tanks, large lots, f.o.b. eastern
works. Prices 1913-25 were originally compiled on a pound basis,
but have been converted to a per-ton basis, and the scries is
comparable throughout. Monthly data for 1923-37 appear in the
1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the National Fertilizer Association from tax-tag
sales reports of the commissioners of agriculture in 11 Southern
States (Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, and
Texas).
Monthly records of fertilizer tax tags arc kept by State control officials and may be slightly larger or smaller than the
actual sales of fertilizer in any particular month. The figures
indicate the equivalent number of short tons of fertilizer represented by the tax tags purchased and required by law to be attached to each bag of fertilizer sold in the various States.
For some States the reports include cottonseed meal used as
fertilizer. Distribution of fertilizer by government agencies
(the A.A.A. and the T.V.A. ) is not included in these data. Such
consumption is a relatively small proportion of the total (less
than 4 percent in 1940 for the States included here). The
sales for the 11 States included in this series amounted to approximately 60 percent of total United States sales in 1940 on
the basis of annual estimates for all States compiled by the
Association.
Monthly data for 1922-31 are shown on p. 19 of the January 1934
SURVEY; for 1932-37 monthly data, see the 1940, 1938, and 1936
SUPPLEMENTS. These are correct except for a number of minor revisions for the years 1923-28, none of which exceed 1 percent,
and for the following larger revisions (short tons): September
1924, 99,340; February 1926, 1,340,539; May 1926, 153,586; August
1927, 37,415. Monthly data prior to 1922 arc not available.
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
The current reports of the Association, in addition to providing figures for each Southern State, contain data on sales for
the five Midwestern States of Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, and Kansas. Oklahoma consumption, included by the Association in the Southern States data, is omitted from SURVEY figures , since monthly ta>:-tag sales data were not compilod for
this State prior to 1927.
^ Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census beginning May 1941 and Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce prior to that time. The classification shown is that of
the National Fertilizer Association.
Phosphate exports through 1925 included all rock phosphates,
land pebble, and superphosphates; for 1926-29 rock phosphates
other than hard rock are excluded; for subsequent years all phosphate fertilizers of every type are included. Whether these
changes in classification affect the comparability of the series
is impossible to ascertain, but the error, if any, is small.
Import figures are general imports through 1933 and imports for
consumption thereafter. Statistics on the two bases are the
same except for negligible differences in the case of dutiable
ammonia sulphate for a few years.
Data on total imports shown in the 1932 and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS
for 1913-1921 should not be used. During these years many substances later listed as; fertilizers were listed as industrial
chemicals and in other cases data are available only on a value
basis. For this reason the totals given in the 1932 and 1936
SUPPLEMENTS did not cover all fertilizers in those years.
Potash imports and total import figures for 1922-32 given here
differ from those shown in the 1932 and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS because
of the addition of potassium nitrate data. This compound was
originally classified as an industrial chemical, but beginning
with 1933 was included in the fertilizer and potash figures. In
order to make these series comparable throughout, the transfer
was made beginning 1922.
The extent to which the various fertilizer series may haire developed a gradual upward bias through the occasional transfer of
other items from miscellaneous chemical export and import classifications cannot be determined, although the inaccuracy is probably small and, over any short period, negligible.
Some imported fertilizer materials are reexported but the quantities reexported are snail except for nitrate of soda in the
earlier years, which are given below (figures in tons).

1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
^ Compiled by the American Potash Institute representing deliveries within the continental United States and to Canada, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. Data cover sales of domestic origin
only as reported by the four major domestic producers beginning
1940o Prior to 1940 salts of foreign and domestic origin were
included as reported by 1 large importer and 3 domestic producers
(2 domestic producers in 1931-34 and 1 prior to 1931). In 1940
the importer who previously reported monthly delivered 92,059
tons of potash. The total volume of deliveries from these primary suppliers is estimated to be between 95 and 98 percent of
the total industry. Fertilizer manufacturers have absorbed in
recent years about 90 percent of the total potash produced while
the remaining 10 percent goes to chemical manufacturers.
The total bulk potassium salts have been reduced to their K20
content because of the variance in the equivalent K20 in the
salts mined in different parts of the world.
The comparability of the monthly data for the same months in
different years is affected by the changes in the contract delivery date; through 1937 and from 1939 on, deliveries (on orders
usually placed in May) were made up to and including January of
the following year but in 1938, buyers were required to accept
delivery during the year in which the order was placed. As a
result of this change, the seasonal peak was shifted from January to December in 1938. Monthly averages for 1936-37 are shown
in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; no monthly data are available prior to
1936.
y
Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, and are currently based on reports from 52 manufacturers
which account for about 95 percent of the total value of all
superphosphates produced.
Data through 1932 are from 87 manufacturers, the reduction to
71 for 1933-34, 69 for 1935, 66 for 1936-37 and 57 for 1938, and
52 at the present time reflecting mergers and companies going out
of business.
The figures include superphosphate of 16 percent, 32 percent,
45 percent, and other strengths, expressed throughout in equivalent short tons of 16 percent available phosphoric acid. Monthly data from the middle of 1928 to the end of 1937 are shown in
the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. Although monthly
data on production and shipments are available only for the last
6 months of 1928( the monthly average is for the full year.
Revisions have been made as follows (short tons): Shipments,
1931—May, 78,419; June, 29,987; July, 20,599; August, 14,261;
September, 87,614; October, 59,431; November, 11,622; December,

Compiled by the 0. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The gum-rosin price is the average for grade filH"
at Savannah, per 100 pounds bulk. Prices are averages of Tuesday
quotations. Data prior to July 1940 are based on the average
per barrel of 280 pounds gross, converted to the bulk price (conversion factor, 2.324).
The gum-turpentine price is the average price oer gallon at
Savannah, based on Tuesday quotations. This series is available
only beginning 1926 and the averages given in italics represent
the price of gum turpentine at New York, The differences between the two series comprise in most instances the relatively
constant costs of transportation and handling. For 1926-30 the
New ¥ork price averaged approximately 6 cents per gallon higher
than that at Savannah.
Monthly data for the rosin price beginning 1919 are shown in
table 3, p. 17, of the January 1941 SUKVEY. Tvlonthly data beginning 1926 for the turpentine price are shown in table 71 on p.
18 of the September 1938 SURVEY.
^ Data on receipts and stocks of gum rosin and gum spirits of
turpentine at Savannah, Jacksonville, and Pensacola are from the
Naval Stores Review, published in Savannah, Ga.
Some of the
early data were supplied by the Savannah Board of Trade, the
Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, and the Pensacola Chamber of
Commerce, the organizations which originally compiled the data.
Seasonal totals computed from the monthly receipts figures
given here do not in all instances agree with the season (April
1 to March 31) totals shown in the Weekly Naval Stores Review.
At the end of each season an inventory of stocks is taken, and
adjustments are made in the total receipts figures for the year.
It is not possible to apportion the adjustments among the various
218
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
months of the year.
In most years, the annual adjustments have
been less than 1 percent of the year total. For gum rosin the
only larger adjustments amounted to increases as follows (years
ended March 31): 1.8 percent in 1925; 1.5 percent in 1932; 7.4
percent in 1935; and 5.3 percent in 1941. For gum turpentine
the season total exceeded the total of the monthly data by more
than 1 percent in the following years ended March 31: 1933, 1.5
percent; 1935, 5.8 percent; 1936, 3.8 percent; 1937, 2.1 percent;
1941, 2,6 percent. In 1 4 the final figures were lower by aibout
90
2.6 percent. The largest discrepancies, it will be noted, were
for the season ending March 31, 1935. These arise in large part
from the failure of one Savannah concern to report on a monthly
basis, although its annual figures were included in the year
totals.
It should be noted that the percentage of total gum naval
stores production passing through these three ports varies from
year to year and the figures are thus not accurate indicators of
either production or stocks for the industry as a whole.
Monthly data for 1923-37 are correct as shown in the 1940,
1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS, except for the revisions given
in the appropriate note in the 1938 SUPPLEMENT.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census. More detailed statistics appear in the quarterly and
annual reports of the Bureau of the Census, the figures given in
the SURVEY representing only the summary totals. The following
description is quoted from the report entitled Animal and Vegetable Fats and Oils—Production, Consumption, Imports, Exports, and
Stocks: 1936-40.
"The statistics in this report relate to factory production,
factory consumption, and factory and warehouse stocks. Three
general classes of factories are canvassed for the data: (1)
The producers of animal and vegetable fats and oils, including
expressors, extractors, Tenderers, and reclaimers; (2) the consumers of fats and oils in the production of other fats and oil
products, or products of which fats or oils form a constituent
part, embracing primarily refiners, mixers, compounders, and the
like, and secondarily manufacturers of paint, varnish, soap, oilcloth, linoleum, etc.; and (3) manufacturers of tin plate, textiles, and leather, which products do not themselves contain or
retain any considerable portion of the fats and oils used as
agents in their manufacture.
"The scope of these statistics might be further defined by describing it in a negative way. The figures of production do not
include those considerable quantities of lard, tallow, and grease
produced in the households, on the farms, and by the smaller
local butcheries and Tenderers, The figures of consumption do
not include the quantities used either for culinary purposes by
households, hotels, and bakeries, or by local painters, contractors, etc., or for lubrication purposes. The figures of stocks
do not include any in the hands of householders, local tradesman,
retailers, wholesalers, OT jobbers, but do include the quantities
held in public warehouses*
Because importers and exporters
sometimes hold considerable quantities of these commodities,
data as to stocks in their own and in public warehouses are collected from that class of dealers. Stocks include some imports
not yet withdrawn from bonded warehouses.
"The limitations of the statistics, as indicated above, must
be borne in mind in any analysis of them. In addition, consideration should be given to the fact that the schedule used in
collecting the data carries more than 60 items, some of which are
so closely related in nature and use as to lead to some confusion
of terms by those furnishing the data. "
For a further discussion of factors affecting these statistics,
see the publication referred to in paragraph 1 above.
Data on the production and consumption of total vegetable oils
represent oils in the crude state. The1 data shown on flaxseed
and soybeans have been converted from tons to bushels. Data for
shortenings and compounds include extractions from both vegetable
and animal sources.
In recent years, the greater portion has
been produced from vegetable oils.
Revisions of these data since publication of the 1932 SUPPLEMENT make it undesirable to use the volume as a source of quarterly data for 1931 and earlier years. Such information should
be obtained from reports issued annually by the Bureau of the
Census under the title given in the first paragraph of this
note. Quarterly data for 1932-37 as shown in the 1940, 1938, and
1936 SUPPLEMENTS are correct, except for minor revisions in vegetable oil and cottonseed oil consumption for 1932-33, and the
third quarter production of fish oils in 1937 which should be
129,334,000 pounds. Quarterly data prior to 1938 for soybeans
and soybean oil are available on request. Annual data throughout
represent quarterly averages.
Data prior to 1919, which were collected by the U. S. Food
Administration, were published in detail in the supplement to
Bulletin 769 of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
2
Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census beginning May 1941 and Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce prior to that time.
The series on vegetable oil exports includes cottonseed, linseed, corn, coconut, peanut, and soybean oils, cocoa butter, vegetable soap .stock, cooking fats other than lard, and all edible
and inedible vegetable oils and fats. The data include a quantity of cooking fats which contain animal fats, but exclude vegetable oleomargarine, inasmuch as these items are not separable from
the classifications with which they are regularly included. The
series includes, except as previously noted, all vegetable oils,
fats, and compounds thereof, which have substantially related or
competitive uses, though not all the items included are strictly
oils*
Import figures represent general imports through 1933 and imports for consumption subsequently. The statistics are not materially affected by the change since most of the oils are free
of duty and differences between general imports and imports for
consumption in the case of dutiable oils affect the totals only
slightly.
Paint-oil imports include tung oil, linseed oil, perilia oil
beginning 1928, and oiticica oil beginning 1937. Separate data
on perilla and oiticica oil for earlier years are not available,
but the quantities imported in those years are believed to have
been too small to seriously affect the comparability of the series. The classification of "paint oils" is segregated because
over 90 percent of the domestic factory consumption of these oils
is in the paint, varnish, linoleum, and oil cloth industries.
Although other vegetable oils, notably soybean oil, are used in
paint manufacture, their other uses are more important.
It is not possible to make any further classification of vegetable oil imports by type of use, since most of the vegetable
oils imported can be, and are, used interchangeably in the manufacture of vegetable shortenings, oleomargarine, soap, and other
edible and inedible compounds, the type of use for any one oil
shifting substantially from year to year. "All other vegetable
oils" covers all types of edible and inedible expressed vegetable
oils, except the paint oils, but excludes vegetable tallow and
wax, and essential or distilled oils. The major oils covered
include coconut, cottonseed, peanut, olive, palm, palm kernel,
soybean, rape seed, corn, and sunflower seed. In view of the
interchangeability of these oils, it is necessary to include
oils which are only irregularly imported, but are competitive
with those regularly imported.
The paint-oil import series has not been compiled prior to
1921 because of heavy imports of soybean oil for use as a substitute paint oil in the war years, affecting its reliability as
a guide to paint-oil imports. The other foreign trade series
can not be extended beyond 1923 (1922 for exports) because of a
lack of original data on several items.
Some imported oils are reexported. The quantities for tung
oil (the only paint oil reexported) and other oils are given in
the table below (in thousands of pounds). The figures shown in
this table for "other oils*' beginning 1934 cover only free oils
(with the possible exception of a small amount of dutiable oil
that may have been reported in a group of miscellaneous oils^
since dutiable oils imported for reexport would not be included
in the figures of imports for consumption.

Export and import data are from the U. St Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census beginning April 1941 and Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce prior to that time. Detailed data
on types of oilseeds, oils, and cake and meal not shown he:?e may
be found in the Monthly Summary of Foreign Commerce of the United
States through September 1941. Import figures cover imports for
consumption beginning 1934 and general imports for earlier years.
Since copra imports and practically all coconut oil imports are
free of duty, statistics on the two bases are the same for these
items. Some quantities of copra and coconut oil are reexported
but the amounts are usually small. Reexports of coconut oil
have amounted to 1 or 2 percent of imports during each year of
the period shown, except in 1919, 1936, 1939, and 1940 when they
were about 3 percent of total imports, and in 1934 when they were
nearly 6 percent of the total. Copra reexports were generally
not over 1 percent of the annual imports but in 1919, 10,421
tons were reexported, and in 1931, 13,520 tons, 8 and 6 peircent,
respectively, of the imports for those years. Fiaxseed was not
reexported.
Monthly data for 1923-31 shown in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT are correct except for minor revisions and larger revisions as follows:
Copra imports (in short tons), September 1930, 31,139; January
1931, 17,028; February 1931, 16,567; November 1931, 22,463; coconut oil imports, August 1930, 28,320,000 pounds; cottonseed
cake and meal exports, August 1931, 2,485 short tons; November
1931, 55,745 short tons; linseed cake and meal exports foir September 1931, 48,991,000 pounds. For monthly data for 1932-37

Revenue from returns made for tax purposes.
Data on production of oleomargarine and consumption of refined
cottonseed oil and refined coconut oil used in the production of
oleomargarine represent the total for the industry.
Data on
consumption of oleomargarine represent all tax-paid withdrawals
of both colored and uncolored oleomargarine for domestic use,
except by the Government. Complete data on materials used in
oleomargarine production are available from reports of the office
named above.
Monthly data for 1913-37 for the series on tax-paid withdrawals
are in table 64, p. 20, of the June 1938 SURVEY. Monthly data
for the other three series for 1923-31, given in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT, are correct except for the following revisions (thousands

Compiled by the V. S., Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, under the provisions of an act of Congre ss approved
August 7, 1916. This act provides that the Bureau of the Census
shall collect monthly reports from all of the oil mills concerning cottonseed received, crushed, and on hand, and cottonseed
products manufactured, shipped out, and on hand; also that information be obtained from the refineries and consuming establishments and from brokers, warehousemen, and exporters concerning crude and refined cottonseed oil.
The Bureau 'of the Census states that there were 446 mills in
the united States which crushed cottonseed during the years ended
July 31, 1940 and 1941, compared with 462 in 1939, 466 in 1938,
557 in 1928 and 763 in 1917.
In addition, there were 43 mills
with the necessary equipment which did not crush any cottonseed
during the 1940-41 season.
Receipts of cottonseed at mills include seed later destroyed,
but not seed re shipped. Stocks of crude oil include holdings of
crude mills and of refining .and manufacturing establishments,
and oil in transit to refiners and consumers.
Refined stocks
include, in addition to stocks held at refineries, oil hold by
refiners, brokers, agents, and warehousemen at places other than

Compiled by the Dttluth Board of Trade, Data are obtained
from the unloading and loading industries and agree with those
carried by the industries on their own books. They are net figures for clear flaxseed and dockage has been eliminated. Stocks
are as of the last Saturday in eiich month, through 1921 and the
end of the month subsequently. They do not include stocks of
imported seed in bond.
Receipts figures for certain months have been changed from
those reported by the Board of Trade by the addition of imported
flaxseed released from bond and added to the domestic supply.
Seed imported is included in monthly receipts reported by the
Board only when duty is paid at time of import. The additions
were as follows (thousands of bushels): June 1929, 38; June
1930, 61; May 1937, 723; June 1937, 431; and August 1937, 86.
With these additions the receipts and shipments figures check
with changes in stocks for the period 1929 to date.
For the years 1922 to 1928, figures on seed thus released from
bond are not available on a monthly basis, and the receipts
figures given are therefore not complete.
Also during these
years seed was crushed in Duluth, and the shipments figures alone
consequently do not cover all withdrawals from stocks in those
years. If the annual figures on estimated net release from bond,
given in the following table, are added to annual receipts and
the figures on local crush added to shipments, the resulting
gross receipts and shipments figures will check closely with
year-to-year changes in stocks, and give a more complete picture
of fiaxseed movement in Duluth, comparable with that given in
the figures for 1929 to date.

During 19125 and the 1st quarter of 1926 there was no production of refined soybean oil. Prior to 1925, the refining process
was such that the oil became rancid quickly and could only be
used in the manufacture of soap. As a result of research, the
process was improved and production was resumed in the second
quarter of 1926. The average for 1926 is for the last 3 quarters

The 4 months' totals for 53 companies are as follows
(in thousands of dollars): Calcimines, 1,051; plastic paints,
147; cold-water paints in dry form, 475, Data for interior coldwater paint in paste form were not collected prior to January
1937,
Data for cold-water paints in dry form prior to January
1937 are not comparable with the subsequent data according to
the Bureau of the Census, since it is believed that some manufacturers were reporting sales of interior casein-bound paste
form as dry form prior to the inclusion of the former in the
schedule. There is no way of estimating the extent of this error
for the period 1934-36, However, for the first 5 months of 1937
overlapping data show that figures for cold-water, interior,
casein-bound, dry form were revised downward, resulting in a
decrease in the total for dry form by the following percentages;
January, 29; February, 23; March, 19; April. 23; May, 21.
The 60 manufacturers reporting data beginning 1938 produced
approximately 85 percent of the total value of plastic paints,
cold-water paints, and calcimines in the United States, as reported to the Biennial Census of Manufactures, 1939.
For monthly data beginning 1934, see the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS.
Additional data by types of paints and calcimines, as well as
by poundage, are shown in the Census Bureau monthly releases.

Compiled by the £/. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, from reports of 680 establishments.
Of this number,
580 reported classified sales and 100 reported only total sales.
The reporting establishments accounted for approximately 90 percent of the total output of the industry as reported by the Census of Manufactures for 1939,
Data published in previous SUPPLEMENTS and in the monthly SURVEY through March 1942 covered reports * of 579 establishments and
are not comparable with the present series. However, the relationship between the total sales for the 2 series has been fairly
constant, as shown by overlapping data, the total for 680 establishments exceeding the total for 579 establishments by approximately 4 percent. Therefore, the total sales of the latter
group for years prior to 1936, as published in the 1940 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS, have been here raised by 4 percent to obtain an
approximately comparable series back to 1928.
Monthly data for 1936, the earliest available for the 680 manufacturers, are shown on p. 26 of the July 1942 Survey.

Statistics are compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce,
Bureau of the Census, Data for all items except molding composition are from reports of 10 manufacturers, except for the
periods June-Dec ember 1935 and January-July 1938 when 11 manufacturers were reporting. For molding compositions, 6 manufacturers reported for the months of 1938, 7 reported in January 1939,
and 8 submitted data in subsequent months. The firms reporting
represent practically the entire production of the industry, and
the data are believed to be comparable throughout, within a
small margin.
Consumption data represent consumption in reporting company
plants and are included with the data on shipments of nitrocellulose and cellulose-acetate sheets, rods, and tubes. Shipments of molding composition exclude consumption in reporting
company plants. Beginning with February 1941, data for cellulose acetate sheets, rods, and tubes do not include production
or shipments of cellulose acetate safety glass sheets. The comparability of the series, however, is not materially affected
since the production of this type of sheet has declined until
now it is practically nonexistent. The monthly releases of the
Census Bureau give data for nitro-cellulose sheets, rods, and
tubes separately.
Monthly consumption of nitro-cellulose and cellulose acetate
sheets, rods, and tubes, in reporting company plants for 193537 appear in table 15, p. 18 of the March 1939 SURVEY. For all
other items monthly data beginning August 1933 appear in the

Data are compiled by the Federal Power Commission beginning
May 1936; theretofore, compiled by the U. S. Department of the
Interior, Geological Survey. Reports are solicited from all
plants engaged in generating electric energy for public use and,
in addition, from electric railways, electrified steam railroads,
and a few small miscellaneous plants which generate energy for
their own use. Data are received each month representing approximately 98 percent of total production; the remainder is estimated and corrections are made as additional reports become
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY
available.
At the end of 1941, 1,779 establishments operating
4,070 generating plants were reporting. The net output of the
following types of plants is included: Privately and municipally
owned electric utilities;; that part of production of mining and
manufacturing plants which is sold (except that data are not included for concerns selling less than 10,000 kilowatt hours a
month); electric and steam railways (total output, including
produced for own use and for sale); Bureau of Reclamation plants
and other Federal projects; cooperatives, power districts, State
projects; and publicly owned noncentral stations. Under the
heading "By type of producer" the data on "Other producers" include the plants listed in the preceding sentence, exclusive of
privately and municipally owned plants.
Data are comparable with statistics compiled by the Bureau of
the Census from reports to the Census of Electrical Industries
with the following minor exceptions: The Commission does not include a few small plants: of less than 100 kilowatts; the output
of electric and steam railways for their own use is included
here but excluded by the Bureau of the Census. The latter data
have been reported separately by the Commission since January
1937 but have been included in the totals for all years in order
to preserve the comparability of the series.
. Monthly data for 1920-37 are shown in table 58, pp. 17 and 18
of the December 1940 SURVEY.
^ Compiled by the EdAson Electric Institute. Monthly data
beginning 1937 have been revised by the Institute to conform
with the published data of the "1937 Census of Electric Light
and Power Industry" and on the basis of the System of Accounts
of the Federal Power Commission which was effective January 1,
1937.
Data are industry estimates computed from enterprises representing approximately 85 percent of the industry. These data
cover statistics for the entire electric light and power industry contributing to the public supply in the United States,
which includes all private, cooperative, municipal, governmental,
and industrial enterprises engaged in the production or distribution of electricity for the use of the public. Comparability
of data prior to 1937 is discussed below.
The classification "Rural" beginning .1937 is based on the
filed rate schedule and includes rural and farm customers served
on a distinct rural or farm rate; it covers, in addition to a
limited number of farm customers, the residences and commercial
establishments in the smaller communities which are served on
"distinct rural rates. " A large part of the agricultural pumping or irrigation load in the West is on distinct or special
rural rates. Those farm customers which are served on residential or domestic rates are included in the "Residential or domestic" classification beginning 1937.
Many farms and residents
of smalj hamlets are served on the regular residential rate
schedules and hence are; included in the "Residential or domestic" classification. Data for 1926-36 in the latter classification represent a total of residential service (urban-rural
nonfarm) and service to farms in the East. Data under "Sfural"
for 1926-36 include data for Western farms only.
Data prior to 1937 for commercial and industrial service separated between small and large customers are not strictly comparable with later figures because of changes in the systems of
accounts and in the service classifications. The dividing point
between small and large is on the basis of SO kilowatts of demand or as near to this as rate classifications will permit.
Because of the classification changes, monthly data foff 1937
published in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT are not comparable with data
here shown; figures are available on request. Monthly data for
1934-36 for total sales and revenue from sales and for residential and domestic, small light and power, and railways and railroads are available in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS.

revised each year, according to the type of gas distributed by
each company at the beginning of the latest complete year. Data
here shown have been reclassified according to the kind of gas
the respective companies were distributing at the beginning of
1941. For example, data for former distributors of manufactured
gas who have changed to the distribution of natural gas have
been excluded from the manufactured-gas figures for all years

and have been included with those for natural gas. Data for
companies selling mixed manufactured and natural gas are included with those for manufactured gas. Figures for natural gas
do not include natural gas used in field operations and in the
manufacture of carbon black, or gas used by distributing companies in the conduct of their gas operations. Monthly reports
raised to approximately 98 percent of the industry are based on
data from gas companies representing 90 percent of the total and
at the end of each year are revised to annual data received
from 98 percent of the industry.
Data on domestic sales of natural gas include house heating
since there is usually no special rate for house heating by
natural gas companies* Sales for industrial use cover in general that gas used in production or manufacture of some commodity
destined for further sales, while commercial gas sales relate
to gas consumed in rendering a service, as delicatessen shops,
hotels, retail stores, etc. Sales of gas for street and highway lighting (very small) and other municipal uses are included.

Data are computed by the V. S. Department of Agriculture,
Bureau of Agricultural Economics, and represent the disappearance
of creamery butter and cheese into trade or consumption channels.
These data are computed from production (comprising actual factory output), imports and exports, and the change in cold-storage
holdings. Relief distribution beginning December 1934 and estimated purchases of butter under the stamp plan beginning May 1939
are included, as well as shipments to noncontiguous territories.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, from reports of factories made direct to
the Department. Data for butter include the production of whey
butter. Total cheese excludes cottage, pot, and bakers' cheese,
but includes all other varieties including "full skim" cheese.
Data for the latter are not as yet available for 1941; the 1941
figures will be revised to include them as soon as they become
available. American cheese represents production from whole milk
only; cheese made from full or part skim milk is excluded. The
latter generally represents from 1 to 2 percent of the total
American cheese output. Data for 1914, 1919, 1921, 1923, 1925,
1927, and 1929 are as reported by the U. S. Census of Manufactures. Estimates for intercensal years 1913-1919 were interpolated on the basis of market receipts and for intercensal years
1919-29 on the basis of factory production reported by the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics*
Monthly data for the production of butter and American cheese
for 1932-37 are available in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS* Monthly data for 1929-37 for total cheese production are
shown in table 50, p. 17, of the November 1939 SURVEY: Revision,

cheese covers only those varieties known as twins, flats, daisies, Cheddars, longhorns, and square prints. It does not,
therefore, include all kinds of cheese made in the United States.
The monthly figures are the stocks as reported for the first of
the month following the period designated.
Monthly data for 1923-37 (except cheese for December 1926December 1931) appear in the 1940 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS. Data
on cold-Storage holdings of cheese were revised for the period

" Compiled by the V. 5. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, Prices are based on the reports made by
manufacturers covering actual sales or goods delivered at ijnanufacturers' distributing points on the basis of cash or short-term
credit and represent the average wholesale selling price per case
(forty-eight 14^-ounce csins). From January 1920 to January 1931
the prices of evaporated milk have been converted from 16-ounce
to 14H-ounce cans by multiplying by 0.90625. Earlier monthly
data beginning 1920 are available on request.

Data are from the V. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, and represent practically the entire industry for evaporated milk and for condensed milk other than bulk
goods for industrial users. Figures for condensed milk include
production from skimmed and unskimmed milk sweetened by tha addition of sugar. Monthly data on unsweetened condensed milk
(bulk goods) are issued annually by the Department. The series
on evaporated milk relates to case goods produced from unskimmed
milk.
Monthly data for earlier years are found in the 1940, 1938,
1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. The figures on evaporated milk production for 1923-28 given in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT include small
amounts produced from skimmed milk which are not included in the
present series and are, .therefore, not strictly comparable* Revision in stocks (thousands of pounds): Condensed milk, bulk
goods—December 1925, 4,760; August 1928, 19,610; April 1931,

Compiled by the U. S. Department of 'Agriculture, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, from reports of milk distributors, producers' associations, and municipal officers for more than 100
cities (excludes all cities where milk is purchased on tha basis of current butter market quotations, but includes cities where
"flat" and "basic" prices, apply). Prices represent dealers' buying prices for standard grade milk testing 3.5 percent buttarfat
which is used for city distribution as milk and cream.
Prices are for milk delivered f, o. b. local shipping point or
at country plant* The prices at country points apply to milk
delivered direct by farmers in their own cans to local milk shipping stations and nearby city milk plants. Price per 100 pounds
may be reduced to cents per quart by dividing by 46.53. For earlier monthly data beginning 1922 see table 38, p. 18, of ths August 1939 SURVEY; monthly figures for 1936-37 are in the 1940
SUPPLEMENT.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, iand represent the estimated total production of milk on farms. Data are obtained by multiplying the
estimated number of cows on farms by the average milk production
per cow, secured by dividing the reported daily milk production
of herds (about 22,000) kept by crop correspondents by the total
number of milk cows (in milk or dry) in these herds. The annual
estimates of number of cows on farms have been adjusted to the
results of the 1940 and earlier censuses; monthly data prior to
1941 are not as yet available.
^ Compiled by the V, •£», Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, and represent the consumption of Quid
milk in creamery butter, cheese produced from whole milk,, and
condensed and evaporated milk (case goods), unskimmed. The milk
equivalent is computed by multiplying production of these products by the following conversion factors: Creamery butter0 21;
cheese, 10; and condensed and evaporated milk, 2.2.
In 1940
these four products represented 93 percent of the total milk
equivalent of all manufactured dairy products produced. Monthly

unharvested on account of market conditions are included. The
production estimates for apples represent total production
through 1933; beginning 1934, they represent estimates of the
production of apples in the. commercial apple areas ©f each State
and include fruit produced for sale to commercial processors, as
well as that for sale for fresh consumption. The estimated total
production for 1934 comparable with the earlier data is 125,719

Stocks of Canadian wheat in Canada include practically all Canadian wheat held within Canadian borders exclusive of f a rm
stocks.
Subsequent to April 1932 "in transit9* lake stocks are
included, Stocks are as of the Friday nearest the first of the
following month.
Stocks of United States wheat on farms and stocks in country
mills and elevators are estimates of the Crop Reporting Board
based on reports of crop reporters as of the first of each quarter. The series on commercial stocks includes domestic grain in
storage in public and private elevators in the principal organized grain markets and grain afloat in vessels or barges in harbors of lake or seaboard ports.
It does not include grain in
transit, stocks in mills or mill elevators attached to mills, or
private stocks of grain intended for local use. Commercial
stocks for 1923-26 are as compiled by Dun and Bradstreet, excluding country elevator stocks. Figures are as of the Saturday
nearest the first of the following month. Stocks in merchant
mills (including wheat in elevators and stored for others) are
based on wheat stocks only as reported by the Bureau of the Census and raised to a 100 percent basis by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
Stocks of domestic wheat on farms and in country mills and elevators for July 1 (shown here as June) include only old wheat.
Any new wheat which comes into stock position is not reported until the new crop year begins. Beginning 1937 this is also true
of the commercial and merchant mills series. Prior to 1937, both
old and new wheat are included in the latter two series. For
earlier years there is no way of determining how much new wheat
was included in the July 1 stock figures. For 1937-40 the
amounts of new wheat which have been excluded from th© July 1
stock figures are as follows (thousands of bushels): Commercial

1931, 792,000 barrels. The publication of data has been discontinued for the duration of the war,
y
Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, from monthly returns from over 1,000 merchant mills that
normally manufacture 5,000 or more barrels of flour annually.
According to the Biennial Census of Manufactures for 1923-39,
these mills accounted for from 90.5 to 96 percent of the total
wheat-flour production.
The figure representing the percent of total capacity operated
is derived by multiplying the daily 24-hour capacity in wheat
flour (as reported) by the number of working days in the month.
The result is known as the maximum rated output. This figure is
then divided into the total wheat flour produced during the
month, giving the percent of total capacity operated.
Earlier monthly data are available in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS. Minor revisions in earlier data are available

(from the corn belt) sold out of first hands for slaughter at
Chicago. Western steers are excluded. Prior to 1922 prices are
from the Chicago Drovers Journal Yearbook, and represent a general average price of native beef cattle, Since 1922 prices
monthly and yearly are weighted averages of ail grades, choice
to prime, good, medium, and common. Prices are weighted by the
number sold in each grade. The yearly average is the average of
the monthly figures weighted by the quantity of all grades sold
within each month.
The price of stocker and feeder cattle shipped from Kansas City
is the average price of all weights of such cattle, weighted by
the number shipped for each weight group. The yearly average

Reported by the V. S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural
Marketing Administrationt and represent the total dressed weight
of livestock slaughtered under Federal inspection, exclusive of
meats from condemned animals. Total production is obtained by
applying the average dressed weight (obtained from concerns representing over 90 percent of the total Federally inspected
slaughter) to the total Federally inspected slaughter. In 1940,
the slaughter under Federal inspection accounted for about 63
percent of total slaughter of all cattle and calves, 80 percent
of the sheep and lambs, and 65 percent of the hogs. The ratios
for earlier years approximated the figures for 1940.
For the
number of animals actually slaughtered under Federal inspection,
see the Leather and Leather Products section of this volume.
Data do not include meats from slaughter of animals purchased
for the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation for June 1934 to February 1935 and for August and September 1936.
Pork production, excluding lard, includes all of the dressed
hog carcass but excludes head bones and all carcass fat rendered
into lard. Lard data represent the actual production of rendered
lard and rendered pork fat in Federally inspected plants as reported by the Bureau of Animal Industry beginning January 1937.
("Lard" and "rendered pork fat" have been reported as separate
items under definitions in effect beginning Nov. 1, 1940, and
are here combined to have figures comparable with earlier data
reported as "lard*") Prior to 1937 lard production was estimated
by applying an average yi.eld per hog to the number of hogs passed
for food. Production from Federally inspected slaughter accounted for 53 to 65 percent of total production1 of lard for the years
1936-1940, as estimated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Rendered lard and rendered pork fat are estimated to be about
70 percent of raw fat obtained from hogs.
For monthly data for the total meat production and for beef
and veal, lamb and mutton, and pork including lard for 1923-37,
and lard for 1923-36, see the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SSJPPLBMENTS, Revised 1937 monthly figures for lard are in table 8,

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. Monthly estimates of total eggs produced
are based on returns from about 25,000 crop correspondents who
report for the first day of each month the number of layers on
hand and the number of eggs produced. The total monthly egg production is obtained by multiplying the estimated total number of
layers by the number of eggs produced per layer obtained from reports of the crop correspondents.
Annual estimates of layers on January 1 of each year are based
on an annual survey secured from about 150,000 flocks, in addition to the returns from the regular monthly crop correspondents.
At the end of the year adjustments are made in the number of layers on the first of each month so that they will be in agreement
with the annual estimates. The monthly rates of lay are then
applied to the adjusted number of layers to secure the adjusted
total egg production for each month. Data for all years have
been so adjusted.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Wholesale prices are averages of weekly quotations,
whereas the retail price of sugar is as of the 15th of the month
up to August 1933, and for subsequent months, the Wednesday figure nearest the 15th is used.
The raw sugar price is for 96° centrifugal, Cuban sugar,
including duty, at New York, The note in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT erroneously states that duty was excluded. Retail prices of sugar
prior to November 1937 (shown in italics) are based on a onepound bag of sugar, while subsequent prices are from quotations
on ten-pound bags of sugar. The average for the year is based
on the one-pound quotations through October and the ten-pound
quotations for November and December. The October 1937 price on
the ten-pound basis is 5.5 cents per pound against 5.7 cents on
the old basis.
Monthly data beginning 1913 for the coffee price are shown in
table 13, p. 22, of the April 1942 SURVEY. Earlier monthly data
for the sugar prices are given in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932
SUPPLEMENTS. Revisions: Raw sugar for January and February
1928, $0.045; refined sugar, retail price—June 1933, $0.054;
July 1933, $0.052.

Total stocks in Cuba, meltings and stocks at refineries in
the United States, are from the Weekly Statistical Sugar Trade
Journal, published by Willet and Gray, Inc. Stocks in Cuba represent all stocks on the island. Meltings of raw sugar represent
operations of refineries located at eight ports—Boston, New
York, .Philadelphia, Baltimore, Savannah, New Orleans, Galveston,
and San Francisco, the Baltimore figures being added in 1921 on
the completion of the refinery in that city, The figures are
reported weekly, and these have been used to compute monthly totals by prorating the data for the overlapping weeks. The New
Orleans figures are partly estimated. Stocks at refineries represent the amount of raw sugar in the hands of refiners and certain importers (the bulk of stocks being in refiners' hands) on
the Saturday nearest the end of each month. They include the
same cities as for meltings, previously named, and also, beginning 1929, Norfolk. Details of meltings and stocks, by ports,
and classification between importers* and refiners' stocks are
given in the Statistical Sugar Trade Journal.
Earlier monthly data on meltings and stocks at refineries are
available in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and on p. 17 of the October 1937
SURVEY (revision in meltings, January 1937: 240,149 long tons).
Monthly data for 1934-37 on Cuban stocks are shown in the 1940
and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS; data shown in earlier SUPPLEMENTS have been
revised and are available upon request.

Imports of raw and refined sugar in total and for Cuba and
the Philippines, and receipts of raw and refined sugar from Hawaii and Puerto Rico are compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census beginning May 1941 and Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce prior to that time. Data on imports
are for cane sugar only. The data on sugar, originally reported
in pounds, have been converted to long tons for comparison with
the other sugar data, also shown in long tons. Receipts of raw
sugar from Hawaii and Puerto Rico prior to July 1928 included
both raw and refined sugar from Puerto Rico.
Import figures represent imports for consumption for all years.
Raw sugar represents all sugar testing not above 98° by the polariscope, while refined sugar is sugar testing above 98°. Imports from the Philippines were not distributed between raw and
refined sugar prior to May 1934 but were included under the raw
classification. Refined sugar imports from the Philippines were
relatively unimportant in the earlier period.
Earlier monthly data are available as follows: Receipts from
Hawaii and Puerto Rico of raw sugar, 1923-37, in the 1940, 1938,
1936 and. 1932 SUPPLEMENTS; imports of raw and refined sugar,
1936-37 in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT (data in earlier SUPPLEMENTS have
been revised); receipts of refined sugar from Hawaii and Puerto
Rico, 1928-31 on p. 20 of the August 1934 SURVEY and 1932-37 in
the 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. Earlier monthly data not

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce from reports to that Bureau through
1938 and from data reported by the Bureau of the Census since
that year. The data represent approximately 67 percent of the
total manufacturers' sales of such products as estimated by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce in 1941, 68 percent in
1940, around 70 percent from 1933 to 1939 and from 60 to 65 percent prior to that time. Data through 1936 are as reported by
an identical group of companies. The original reports for later
years cover a varying number of concerns. To obtain a comparable
series, data beginning January 1937 were computed by carrying
forward the earlier data oh the basis of month-to-month changes
in sales reported by identical concerns.
For earlier monthly data see the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and table 6,
p. 17, of the January 1939 SURVEY.

Compiled by the U. S,. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural
Marketing Administration (prior to 1929 data collected by the
U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census). Data represent stocks of tobacco on a farm-sales-weight basis, owned by
all leaf tobacco dealers, manufacturers, quasi-manufacturers,
growers' cooperative associations, warehousemen, brokers, holders, and owners except manufacturers manufacturing less than
35,000 pounds of tobacco, less than 185,000 cigars, or less than
750,000 cigarettes during the first three quarters of the preceding calendar year. Growers are not required to report their
stocks under the law. Data collected by the Department of Agriculture are on an ownership basis, i. e,, include stocks actually owned by those enumerated above, while those collected by
the Census Bureau represent holdings irrespective of ownership.
Data on foreign-grown cigar leaf and cigarette tobacco were reported as a combined total prior to December 31, 1 2 . Figures
99
for earlier years for these types are estimated on the basis of
the percentage of each reported in later years. All data on domestic stemmed tobacco have been converted to an unstemmed basis
and the unstemmed is further converted to a farm-sales weight by
allowing for normal shrinkage and losses of dirt, sand, and moisture in handling. Each type of tobacco has a different yield,
and the conversion factors used in these computations are shown
in circular No. 435, "Tobacco Shrinkages and Losses in Weight in
Handling and Storage, " issued in July 1937 by the Department of
Agriculture, Foreign data are converted to an unstemmed basis,
and, since the weight at time of entry is analogous to the farmsales weight of domestic types, they can be combined directly
with the data for domestic types on a farm-sales-weight basis.
Data for the total and cigar leaf have been revised beginning
1936 by deducting 5,550,000 pounds on the basis of discovery of
errors in returns for one large dealer. It is known that a similar error occurred over a longer period of years but no definite
records are available on which to base revisions earlier than
1 3 . Data are reported as of the first of April, July, October,
96
and January, and have been moved back to the last day of ths preceding month for presentation in the SURVEY. Annual data are
quarterly averages.
Earlier quarterly data are correct as shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and table 13, p. 15, of the March 1 4 SURVEY except for

Compiled by the U. S. Treasury Department, Bureau of Internal
Revenue. Figures represent tax-paid withdrawals for domestic
consumption, as indicated by sales of stamps, including withdrawals of domestic products from registered factories, withdrawals
from bonded manufacturing warehouses, and imports, except imports
from Philippine Islands. Small cigarettes, weighing not more
than 3 pounds per thousand, represent over 99 percent of the total production of cigarettes, and large cigars, weighing 3 pounds
per thousand, account for more than 95 percent of the total production of cigars in recent years and over 90 percent in earlier
years. The figures for manufactured tobacco and snuff comprise
plug, twist, fine-cut, and smoking tobacco, and snuff. Statistics covering tax-paid withdrawals of tobacco products from the
Philippine Islands and Puerto Rico, which are not included in
the data shown here, are given in the monthly statements of the
Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Earlier monthly data appear in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932

except the monthly data for 1938-40 which do not include snuff.
Data on snuff are not available by months prior to 1941 since
they would reveal the identity of individual manufacturers. The
monthly averages, except for 1941, are based on revised annual
totals and differ from averages of the monthly figures which are
from current reports and are not revised. The differences are
small, however, except in the case of fine-cut for 1934, for
which year one manufacturer erroneously reported production of
scrap chewing under fine-cut in the monthly figures. Monthly
data were not reported prior to 1934,
Monthly data for 1934-37 appear in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS*

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Monthly prices are averages of weekly figures.
The cigarette price is a composite price of three brands, per
1,000, f. o. b. destination. The price of cigars covers 12 price
series (six 5-cent and six 10-cent brands) and is on a delivered
basis per 1 0 0 There was a substitution of a new brand in 1934
,0.
for one of the brands formerly carried. This did not seriously
affect the comparability of the series; the average of the year
1934 on the old basis was 46.793 and on the new 46.875.
Earlier monthly data beginning 1926 appear in the 1940, 1938,

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census beginning May 1941 and Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce prior to that time. Data represent general imports through
December 1933 and imports for consumption thereafter.
Total imports include buffalo hides, India water-buffalo,
horse, colt, and ass hides, kangaroo and wallaby skins, deer and
elk skins, fish skins, reptile skins (excluded from January 1936December 1 4 when they were reported in pieces only), and seal

skins, as well as the four items given in the table.
Prior
to January 1936 hides and skins not elsewhere specified were also
included; since that date these have been excluded as they are
reported in number of pieces rather than in pounds. The amount
is small.
Data for the four types shown separately are given
here in pieces so that they will be of more value for use with the
other leather series. They were shown in earlier SUPPLEMENTS and

Reported by the V. S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural
Marketing Administration from compilations of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, and represents the number of animals slaughtered
under federal inspection. Government-relief slaughter is included between June 1934 and August 1936 as follows: 1934, JuneDecember-Cat tie, 3,333,570; calves, 1,376,572. 1934, September-December—Sheep and lambs, 1,356,421. 1935, January-MayCattle, 186,683; calves, 39,358. 1936, August and SeptemberCattle, 3,500. 1936, August—calves 136. Government purchases
for the Emergency Hog Production Control Program in 1933 are not
included. In 3L933 such purchases were about 14 percent as large
as federally inspected slaughter of hogs.
In 1940, slaughter under federal inspection accounted for approximately 65 percent of all calves slaughtered, 59 percent of
the cattle, 80 percent of the sheep and lambs, and 65 percent of
the hogs. The proportions for earlier years, though they varied somewhat from year to year, approximated those for 1940.
The figures on federally inspected slaughter are presented here
as an indication of the output of hides and skins (for meat produced, refer to the series on pp. 123 and 124 in the Foodstuffs
section). Additional details, by types and cities, are given in
the Department of Agriculture releases. Monthly figures prior
to 1938 given in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are
correct except as follows: Calves, August 1928, 338,000 animals;
hogs, May 1928, 3,884,000.

salted, f. o. b. Chicago. Data on calfskin prices are for city,
8/10 to 10/15 pounds, bundled, f. o. b. Chicago, freight equalized.
Annual figures are averages of weekly quotations rather than averages of the monthly figures shown.
Monthly data for 1923-37 for the steer hides and for 1932-37
for the calfskin price are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census beginning May 1941 and Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce prior to that time. The series on sole leather offal,
including belting offal, includes data reported as "other sole
leather, including of fal " prior to 1936 and as "other sole leather'* and "sole and belting leather offal" for 1936-40, These data
appear to be approximately comparable with data classified in the
original reports as "sole and belting leather offal**beginning
January 1941, which includes bellies, heads, and shoulders. Exports of cut soles are not included in any of the data.
Upper leather exports include cattle side uppers (black, and
other) and finished splits; calf and kip (black, and other);
sheep and lamb; goat and kid (black, and other, including glazed
kid); horse and colt; other upper leather not elsewhere specified; and patent upper leather (cattle, calf and kip, goat and
kid, and other patent). Wax and'rough splits are not included,
since they are reported in pounds rather than in square feet; a
conversion factor cannot be determined, as it is impossible to
ascertain the varying weight of the wax used.
Earlier monthly data on sole leather series beginning 1923 are
available on request; combined figures for the two series prior
to 1936 are available in the 1938 SUPPLEMENT, Monthly figures
on upper leather exports beginning 1922 appear in the 1940 and
1938 SUPPLEMENTS and in table 54, p. 20, of the January 1938 SURVEY.
Publication of data beginning October 1941 has been discontinued for the duration of the war.

Compiled by the Tanners' Council of America beginning May
1932; prior to that time by the V. S. Department of Commerce,
Bureau of the Census. The census returns collected under the
Kreider Act (repealed in 1932) represented a complete coverage
of the industry. Data of the Tanners* Council are based on reports received from practically the entire industry, and are adjusted to an industry basis. Beginning January 1940 data for
production of sheep and lamb leather include fleshers and exclude skivers, Prior to 1941 the data include skivers and excluded fleshers. The shift did not affect the comparability
of the series.
Monthly data beginning 1932 appear in the 1940, 1938, and 1936
SUPPLEMENTS. Monthly data for 1925-31 for calf and kip and cattle hide leather are available on p. 19 of the June 1933 SURVEY;
data given therein for goat and kid and sheep and lamb leathers
were subsequently revised and published on p. 19 of the June 1935
issue, together with monthly data from 1922 to . 9 4

Wholesale prices are compiled by the V. S. Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The price of sole oak bends
is for tannery run, steers, bundled, f, o* b. Boston, beginning
1931. Prior to that time the price is for scoured backs at Boston. Overlapping data show that the series are fairly comparable; the average of the scoured back price for 1931 was $0.365,
compared with $0.378 for*the bend price. The ^chrome series is
an average of prices at tanneries in six principal centers until
December 1931, and five centers thereafter. Because of substitutions between 1937 and 1938, the comparability of the chrome
series is slightly affected at that point. Annual figures for
these series are averages of weekly quotations rather than averages of the monthly figures shown. For monthly figures on prices
of sole oak for 1923-30 see the 1932 SUPPLEMENT; monthly data for
1931-37 are available on request. Monthly data for chrome calf
beginning 1928 are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
u
Compiled by the Tanners' Council of America beginning May
1932; prior to that time by the V. S. Department of Commerce,
Bureau of the Census. Stock figures are reported currently to
the Council by practically the entire industry and are adjusted
to an industry basis, so that they are comparable vith the census
figures of packers, tanners, dealers, importers, and manufacturers. "In process and finished stocks'* include all finished
leather held by tanners, shoe manufacturers, glove manufacturers,
belting manufacturers, etc. The Council's reports include,in
addition to the stock figures, data on production, the movement
of cattle hides into sight, and wettings. Figures include kip
hides and buffalo hides.
The Council carries on its stock reports the notation that raw
stocks in all hands include all hides from Government animals
slaughtered under federal inspection; hides from cattle allotted
to state relief agencies and which were not killed under federal
inspection are not included unless they have already moved into
sight. Hence, any hides from noninspected slaughter held by
state relief agencies constitute an invisible addition to the
visible supply represented by the figures given.
Monthly figures for 1932-37 are available in the 1940, 1938,
and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS; earlier monthly data beginning 1922 are
shown on p. 19 of the January 1935 SURVKY*

Compiled by the V. S, Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, The manufacturers reporting in 1941 produced approximately 85 percent of the total value of leather gloves and mittens reported to the Census of Manufactures for 1939,
Although
the number of manufacturers reporting decreased from 228 for 1935
and 1936 to 184 in 1941, there has been no appreciable change in
the coverage of the data over that period, most of the firms that
were dropped either being small or having discontinued business.
Figures for July-December/ 1934 are estimates for 228 companies
computed on the basis of month-to-month changes in data for 234
companies. No data were collected for January-June 1934.
Data
beginning 1934 are not comparable with earlier data (shown in
italics) which are for 206 manufacturers accounting for around
90 percent of the output of the industry according to available
Census of Manufactures data. Combination leather and wool fabric
gloves and mittens, included in the original reports prior to
April 1938, have been excluded from the series beginning May
1934.
The Census reports show totals for men*s and women's and

Prices are from the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of

represent averages of weekly quotations rather than averages of
the monthly figures shown. It is, of course, difficult to maintain a homogeneous series on these products, since variations in
quality, and, to a lesser extent, shifts in consumer preference,
affect the comparability of the series.

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census. The figures for 1914, 1919, and 1921 are from the Census
of Manufactures (these are the only census years during this period). Data for 1922 to date are compiled, from monthly reports
to the Bureau of the Census from manufacturers representing approximately 95 percent of the total United States production for
1922-29; 98 percent from 1930-33; 99 percent for 1934-36; 98 percent for 1937-39; and 97 percent for 1940-41.
The data on athletic and all fabric shoes do not include footwear with fabric uppers and rubber soles. Data on athletic
shoes for the period 1919 through 1926 include a large proportion of heavy footwear and, therefore, have been included in
the "all other" classification in this volume. Starting in
1927, heavy footwear was transferred from "athletic" to "men's
boots and shoes." For the full year 1927 (no monthly figures
were given) production of "athletic" shoes amounted to 1,488,000
pairs; in this volume, this is included in "all other footwear," with the transfer of "heavy footwear" to "men's boots and
shoes" starting in 1927, there is a slight upward bias in the
series.
In 1928 "heavy footwear" amounted to between S and 6
percent of men's boots and shoes. Beginning in 1937, an indeterminable quantity of women's part leather, part fabric,
and all fabric (satin, canvas, etc.) shoes previously included
incorrectly in women's leather shoes was classified in the proper
groups. This accounts for part of the increase in the part leather and fabric soles in 1937 as compared with 1936. Certain
other revisions have been made in the 1937 totals for the year
which cannot be apportioned to the proper months. The revisions, occasioned by the discoveryof incorrect reporting, reduced the all other total by 2.4 percent and the all fabric
class by 9.9 percent while increasing the women's class 0.6
percent and misses' and children's and total high and low cut
each 0.3 percent. The reporting error also affects the 1935
and 1936 figures, but the extent of the revision for these
years cannot be determined.
Men's high and low cut leather includes shoes made for Government contract (including a small number of nurses, athletic,
etc., shoes), shown separately in the original reports beginning
1941.
Earlier monthly data appear in the 1940 and earlier
SUPPLEMENTS. In the 1932 SUPPLEMENT the only series shown separately are total, men's, boys', and youths', women's, misses',
and children's, and slippers and moccasins for housewear. Additional data, by states, are given in the regular monthly reports of the Bureau of the Census. The current Census reports
also show beach sandals separately, a breakdown of slippers and
moccasins into two classes—all leather, and part leather, felt,
etc.,—and a segregation of men's shoes into dress and work shoes.

Compiled by the V.. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and Bureau of
the Census thereafter. Total exports of sawmill products include
all types of hardwood and softwood, sawed timber and boards,
planks, and scantlings* Sawed timber includes all sizes 6 inches
or larger in least dimension while boards, planks, and scantlings
are less than 6 inches in least dimension. Included in total
exports but not in the separate classifications are box snooks
beginning 1922 and sawed railroad ties beginning 1939.
Data
for hardwood flooring are included with boards, planks, and scantlings and in the total, beginning 1923. Data on laths arid shingles, included in the sawmill products classification through
1938 in the original reports, are here excluded for all years.
Total sawmill products and sawed timber exports for 1922 and
1923 include hewn timber which was not separately classified in
these years. In 1921 hewn timber amounted to 1.9 percent of
total exports as shown here; in 1920, 6.1 percent; and in 1919,
4 6 percent. Boards, planks, and scantlings include both rough
.
and dressed types, and small hardwood dimension stock and squares.
Imports of sawmill products include imports of all sawed woods
including timber, rough and dressed boards and flooring, and in
some cases small amounts of cabinet woods (sawed and planed, and
tongued and grooved). The classification of sawmill products
covers boards and lumber through 1937; clapboards were added
beginning January 1938 (these amounted to 3.7 percent of total
imports in 1937, 1.1 percent in 1936, and were negligible prior
to that year); beginning January 1939, box shooks and sawed railroad ties are included but were not separately classified before
that date. Laths, shingles, pickets, and palings, included in
the sawmill products classification in the original reports
through 1938 are excluded from data shown here for all years.
Monthly data for imports and sawed timber exports for 1913-37
are shown in tables 44 and 45, p. 18 of the October 1939 SURVEY.
Earlier mont hly data on total exports and revised data for
boards, planks, and scantlings (revised to include hardwood flooring beginning 1923; note appended to table is in error in stating
that data were revised beginning 1926) are shown in table 17,
p. 18, of the March 1940 SURVEY.

Compiled by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association
for the period 1929 to date. Data on production, shipments
(both domestic and export), and stocks of hardwoods and softwoods
are estimates based on reports from regional associations, corrected through 1940 (except for 1932 and 1933 when Census coverage was not considered complete) to the trend shown by annual
production figures of the Census of Forest Products and Census
of Manufactures. Coverage within the regions varies from 30 to
90 percent, but actual figures from producers for the country as
a whole covered between 80 and 90 percent of the total cut during
1934, 70 to 80 percent during 1935, 50 to 65 percent during
1936 and 1937, 50 to 60 percent for 1938-40, and 51 percent for
1941. West coast woods, which are reported on a four- and fiveweek basis, have been adjusted to a four and one-third week basis
(see note 5, p. 134) by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. These data ere corrected to quarterly totals. These
adjusted figures have been included in both total softwoods and
total lumber*
Details on production, new and unfilled orders, shipments, and
stocks by types of woods ^re found in the monthly mimeographed
bulletin of the Association. Quarterly data only are available
for 1929-33.
Monthly averages of production for the years 1913 through 1918
are based on estimates of the Forest Service and from Census reports. Averages for 1919 through 1928 are computed from annual
totals estimated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Keserve System based upon Census reports.
Monthly data for tiardwoods for 1934-37 are shown in the 1940

Compiled by the Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association,
and reported to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.
The data, which are raised to a total industry basis, are based
on reports of a varying number of mills, estimated to represent
65 percent of total production during 1929-33 and 85 to 100
percent in subsequent years (88 percent for the years 1936-40,
and 86 percent for 1941). The Association states that beginning
in 1934 the data are fairly dependable, since reliable information on the operations of nonreporting mills was available,
except to some extent in the past two years; prior to 1934, the
margin of error in the estimates is larger. Monthly data for
1934-37 are shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS and quarterly
data for 1932-33 are in the 1936 SUPPLEMENT; quarterly data for
1929-31 are available on request. This series differs from
that shown in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT, which was based on data from
15 identical mills.
2
Compiled by the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers Association on the basis of reports from its members. Coverage of
the industry for the years 1914-28 cannot be definitely determined; for 1929-33 the reporting firms represented 90 to 95 percent of total production, and estimates were included for the
remainder; for 1934 the coverage was complete, whereas for subsequent years 75 to 80 percent of the industry is covered by
actual reports to the Association and the balance estimated.
The production figures for 1914-33 shown here and in the 1940
and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS are averages of annual totals, and in many
instances they do not correspond with those given in the 1932
and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS; where different, they represent revisions
by the Association of annual totals, for which monthly data are
not available. As the reliability of data prior to 1934 is
not definitely ascertainable, figures for items other than production for these years have been discontinued. Monthly data
for 1934-37 appear in 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS.
^ Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and Bureau of
the Census thereafter. Exports of Douglas,,fir sawmill products
include untreated sawed timber, and also rough and dressed
boards, planks,, and scantlings, from 1922 to date. This series
does not cover logs, hewn and round timber, railroad ties,
laths, shingles, and other wood manufactures. Prior to 1922
sawed timber was not available; the figures for 1922 and 1923
are not strictly comparable with later years because they include treated sawed Douglas fir timber. During 1924, treated
Douglas fir timber averaged less than 1 percent of the total
Douglas fir sawmill exports; in March it reached a maximum of
2.7 percent of the total.
Monthly data for 1936-37 are in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; monthly
total exports (with the above-mentioned limitations in the first
2 years) from 1922 to date may be obtained by adding the series
on lumber (boards, planks, and scantlings) and timber shown in
the 1938, 1936,, and 1932 (minor revisions in 1931 data) SUPPLEMENTS. Monthly figures prior to 1923 appear in the Monthly Summary of Foreign Commerce "of the United States but in some instances have been revised.
y
These data compiled by the f'. S. Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics, replace the wholesale prices of Douglas fir
boards and flooring shown in earlier SUPPLEMENTS. The series
shown here are considered more representative by the compiling
source on the basis of the volume of goods newly made available
for sale; that is, domestic production plus imports, minus exports. A more .complete description of the framing lumber is as
follows:
Dimension, No. 1 common, 2 by 4 inches by 16 feet,
dried, S4S, SIE, or rough. For the flooring series the complete
specifications are: M B" and better, flat grain, 1 x 4 , random
length. Both prices are for mixed carlot, f. o. b. mill. Data
are computed from Tuesday prices reported by manufacturers.
Monthly data for 1922-37 are shown in table 16, p. 17, of the
May 1941 SURVEY.

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and Bureau of the
Census thereafter. Total exports of Southern pine sawmill products include sawed timber untreated and creosoted and otherwise
preserved, and boards, planks, and scantlings, both rough and
dressed, of long leaf pitch pine. Excluded are: Logs, hewn and'
round timber, railroad ties, laths, shingles, and other wood
manufactures.
Monthly figures for 1934-37 are available in the 1940 and 1938
SUPPLEMENTS (boards, planks, and scantlings and sawed timber are
shown as "lumber" and "timber, " respectively, in the 1938 and
earlier SUPPLEMENTS; the two series in the 1938 .SUPPLEMENT? can
be added to obtain monthly data for 1934-35 for "total sawmill
products1'); monthly data for boards, planks, and scantlings for
1923-33 (except for minor revisions in the figures for 1931) and
for sawed timber for 1923-27, are available in the 1936 and 1932
SUPPLEMENTS. The figures for timber as shown in the 1936 and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS beginning with the year 1928 have been revised
and are 2 to 3 percent higher than there shown. This revision
was the result of the addition for each month of exports of creosoted and otherwise preserved timber, which were already included for years prior to 1928, The revised 1928-33 monthly figures for timber and 1931 figures for boards, planks, and scantlings are available upon request.

Compiled by the Southern Pine Association, Inc., and reported
to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Data are estimated industry totals based on reports from mills representing
from 25 to 40 percent of total production from 1929 to mid-1933,
60 to 90 percent from mid-1933 to March 1935, 30 to 40 percent
from April 1935 to the end of 1937, and roughly 30 percent since
that time. Data on production are adjusted to annual totals reported by the Bureau of the Census through the year 1 4 . The
90
reported figures on new orders and shipments have been adjusted
to conform to the changed level of production. No monthly data
prior to 1929 are available; the 1913-28 figures are those compiled by the Bureau of the Census reduced to a monthly average
basis*
Monthly data for 1934-37 appear in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS; monthly data for 1929-33 are available on request. The
1929-31 monthly averages for unfilled orders and stocks shown
here are based on monthly data and differ from averages shown
in earlier SUPPLEMENTS, which were based on end-of-quarter figures.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics» Both the board and flooring prices are for carlot
or mixed car shipments, f, o, b, mill (west of the Mississippi),
mill average to wholesaler and retailer. Data are based on
Tuesday prices from a trade organization.
The more complete
specifications of the series are as follows: Boards—No. 2 common, 1" x 8", short leaf, standard length, including rough, surfaced on one to four sides, shiplap and center matched; flooring—B and better, flat grain, 1" x 4", short leaf. Data for
years prior to 1930 are for slightly different series than the
latter data. Monthly average prices for 1930 strictly comparable
with data for earlier years follow: Boards, $17.604; flooring,
$36.990. The flooring price shown here is considered more representative, on the basis of the volume of sales than the flooring price shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT, which it replaces.
Monthly data for 1926-37 for both the board and flooring series
are available in table 11, p. 22, of the April 1942 SURVEY.

Compiled by the Western Pine Association and represent total
activity in the western pine regions, as reported to the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association, Data on production and shipments 1924-33 are based on reports of 106 identical mills, representing 70 to 80 percent of total production. The reported
figures have been raised to Census regional totals. Gross stocks
at the end of each month for the years 1924-33 have been computed
by applying the monthly difference between production and shipments to the inventories of January 1, 1924, 1929, and 1933, and
adjusting the results to the actual inventories on January 1,
1929, 1933, and 1934. The adjustment for the entire period 192429 amounted to a total of 12,000 M board feet and for 1929-34 to
6,500 M board feet yearly.
Production, shipments, orders, and stocks for 1934 and subsequent years are based on reports of a varying number of mills.
Those reporting production, shipments, and stocks have represented an average of about 90 percent of total production,
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
whereas mills reporting new orders accounted for a somewhat
smaller proportion of total output. These data are raised to
estimated industry totals. Production figures through 1940 have
been adjusted to the annual totals reported to the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, and new and unfilled
orders and shipments figures have been changed proportionately.
Production figures are also checked by the Association against
confidential Forest Service figures by counties. Figures for
1941 are industry estimates and are subject to further revision
as Census data become available.
The woods included in these figures and their approximate percentage of total production in the western pine region in 1935
are as follows: Ponderosa pine, 67 percent; Idaho white pine,
12 percent; sugar pine, 9 percent; Larch and Douglas fir, 9 percent; Eddelmann spruce, western red cedar, and incense cedar,
2 percent; and white fir, 2 percent.
Monthly data on production, shipments, stocks for 1932-37, and
unfilled orders for 1936 and 1937 appear in the 1940, 1938, and
1936 SUPPLEMENTS. Monthly data on production, shipments, and
stocks for 1924-31 and quarterly data for 1927-33 and monthly
data for 1934 and 1935 on unfilled orders are available on request. Monthly data on new orders for 1936 and 1937 appear in
the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; monthly figures for 1934 and 1935, which
have been revised, and for 1933 are available on request; no
earlier monthly data are available*
* Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, from information furnished by the Western Pine Association, This series is considered more representative, on the
basis of the volume of sales, than the flooring series shown in
the 1940 SUPPLEMENT, which it replaces. The complete specifications are as follows: Pine, Ponderosa, boards, No. 3 common,
1" x 8", random length, surfaced on 2 to 4 sides. Prices are for
loose carlot or mixed oar shipments, f. o. b. mill. Only annual
averages are available prior to 1932. Monthly data for 1932-37
are shown in table 12, p. 22, of the April 1942 SURVEY,

Compiled by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association,and represent the estimated total operations for the region as reported to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. The region
is limited to the States of Washington and Oregon. Although the
lumber is predominantly Douglas fir, there are also included
Western hemlock, Western red cedar, and Sitka spruce. Quarterly
data for 1929-33 and monthly data for 1934-36 are estimates made
by the West Coast Lumberman's Association on the basis of reports
from 80 to 100 percent of the industry and since 1936, from re^
ports of 75 to 80 percent of the Industry. Data have been adjusted through 1940 to the trend of production as reported annually to the U. S, Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census.
Data for 1941 will be similarly adjusted when Census data become
available.
Data for production and shipments beginning 1934, reported in
4- and 5-week totals by the West Coast Lumbermen's Associiation,
are adjusted by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association
and represent totals for approximately 4-1/3 weeks except for
February which is a 4-week period. The adjusted monthly data are
corrected to quarterly totals. Figures for 1923-28 represent
annual production totals reported by the U, S. Bureau of the
Census, reduced to a monthly average basis*
Monthly data for 1936-37 are shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT.
Monthly data for production and shipments in 1934-35 shown in the
1938 SUPPLEMENT represent the totals of 4- and 5-week periods
and are not comparable with the present series. New and unfilled

* Compiled by the California Redwood Association and cover
redwood only, differing in this respect from redwood figures of
the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, which are for all
types of lumber produced in the redwood region.
Data for 1940 and 1941 are estimated by the Association to represent approximately 97 percent of all redwood production and
for 1934-39, 99 percent, the reduction after 1939 restating
from an increase in the production of small mills not covered by
reports. Reported monthly figures on production, shipments, and
stocks for 1938-40 have been adjusted by the Association to final annual figures on production, shipments, and year-end stocks.
233
The adjustment in shipments, for the most part, resulted from incorrect reporting of intermill sales. Small revisions were made
in new orders to adjust data to revised shipments and unfilled
orders. The monthly figures for 1934-37 are as reported except
shipments for 1934, where an arbitrary deduction of 9 million
feet was distributed among the various months to allow for duplication in the reporting of intermill shipments.
Production and shipments for 1931-33 are based on annual reports to the Association of practically all producers. Comparable data on new and unfilled orders were computed from the relationship of orders to shipments ancl production for identical
mills representing 85 to 90 percent of the industry. For 191330, production figures are averages of annual data compiled by
the Bureau of the Census. Shipments, new orders, and unfilled
orders for 1922-30 bear the same relation to Census production
figures as is shown between shipments, orders, and production
in the reports of identical mills covering 70 to 90 percent of
total production.
Stock figures for 1922-33 represent end-of-year figures. The
stock figures for 1928-33 are from the annual reports of the Association* Year-end stock figures for 1922-27 were computed from
the 1928 reported stocks, using the annual production and shipments figures shown here, and an estimate of "plant use" amounting to 11,2 percent of shipments, "Plant use" includes:
(1)
Lumber used by the mills in their own construction and repair
work, (2) normal loss due to seasoning, (3) waste resulting from
processing operations in factories owned by certain of the reporting mills. Since shipments reported are net, it is necessary
to allow for plant use in computing stocks.
The figures beginning 1931 include shingles and lath produced
by sawmills, which are not included in the Census figures, but
the Association states that these items have never exceeded 3 percent of production, and thus do not seriously affect the comparability of the series.
The high coverage of these data insures their substantial reliability in the later years, although some of the earlier computed figures are only approximations. Slight discrepancies may
exist in the unfilled orders figures because of failure to deduct
cancellations.
For both stocks and unfilled orders the mills
usually report computed figures; when adjustments are made periodically to conform to the actual unfilled orders file and actual
inventory, it is impossible to distribute the amount of the adjustments over the preceding months with any degree of accuracy.
Monthly data for 1934-37 are shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS. Data in the 1936 and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are not considered
reliable.

Computed by Seidman and Seidm&n to indicate the activity in
the Grand Rapids district and in the industry as a whole, as revealed by reporting plants throughout the country. The data are
expressed as percentages of normal ( 9 6 , based on the relation
12)
of current to normal man-hour's for the reporting plants. The
normal is a fixed figure established on the basis of operations
when the industry was working full force and full time. Since
1934 it has been adjusted to reflect a 40-hour week instead of a
50-hour week, as originally established. The coverage of the
all-districts series is estimated to fluctuate between 18 and
24 percent of the country's total wood household furniture production, but a comparison with the series on furniture pay rolls
compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that these
data are fairly reliable in spite of this small coverage. Monthly data for 1932-37 appear in the 1940, 1938, 1936 SUPPLEMENTS;

Compiled by Seidman and Seidman fromfeports of representative manufacturers in the Grand Rapids (Michigan) furniture district.
Owing to variations in the number of firms reporting
each month, the figures on orders and shipments are stated in
terms of number of days' production or sales, based on current
manufacturing schedules of the reporting plants; cancellations
are given as a percentage of new orders. The original data are
based on value.
For monthly data for 1923-37, see the 1940, 1938, 1936, and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS. (Revisions — new orders, February 1927, 19;

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Iron and steel products cover all
commodities for which tonnage figures are available, classified
according to the present schedule as iron and steel semimanufactures and steel-mill manufactures, plus ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, and certain other ferro-alloys; they do not cover the advanced manufactures of iron and steel. Beginning January 1938
insulated iron, steel wire and cable are excluded from total exports of heavy products. In 1937 these products amounted to less
than one-tenth of one percent of the total exports* Imports are
general imports through 1933 and imports for consumption thereafter. Averages for 1913-21 for total exports are based on annual totals; no monthly data are available. The publication of
data after September 1941 has been suspended for the duration of
the war.
For monthly data on total imports and exports for 1932-37 see
the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS; data on total imports back
to 1919 are shown on p. 20 of the November 1932 SURVEY. The figures on "scrap" imports, 1913-22, are not shown because data for
some years include tin-plate scrap which cannot be separated from
steel scrap. Monthly data for scrap exports and imports for
1936-37 are shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and imports for 1934-35
are available in the 1938 SUPPLEMENT (revision—March 1935, 2,387
long tons). Other monthly data available upon request.

Including tin-plate scrap, tin-plate circles, strips, cobbles, etc., and waste-waste tin plate. Data on scrap exports for
1913-21 are not shown, as figures for this period do not include
tin-plate scrap, hence are not comparable with subsequent data*
Minor revisions have been made for 1934 and 1935.
Data prior
to 1936 are available upon request*

Compiled by the magazine Steel. Data represent unweighted
averages of "per ton" quotations, which include, beginning 1927,
the following items: Pig iron (5 quotations), scrap, billets,
sheet bars, wire rods, tin plate, wire, sheets, planes, shapes,
bars, black pipe, rails, alloy steel, hot strip, and cast-iron
pipe. Prior to 1927 the composite includes quotations on s.labs
and wire nails but excludes those on scrap, wire, rails, alloy
steel, hot strip, and cast-iron pipe; monthly averages for this
earlier composite, which overlap the new series, are as follows:
1927, $36.41; 1928, $35.49; 1929, $36.49; 1930, $33.56; 1931,
$31.16. The composite for iron and steel has been discontinued
by the compiling agency.
Monthly data for 1934-37 are shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS; 1929-33 on p. 19 of the January 1935 SURVEY; earlier data
for the old series on pp. 198-199 of the 1932 SUPPLEMENT.
" Data compiled by the teke Superior Iron Ore Association and
cover Lake Superior ore only. Consumption by furnaces includes
interior furnaces in central and eastern districts, and lake
front furnaces in the United States, and beginning June 1922
those which receive ore by rail and lake-shore Canadian furnaces.
This inclusion affects the comparability of the figures only
slightly. Beginning in November 1936 consumption includes tonnages at eastern plants which use only a small proportion of
lake ore. Total stocks and stocks at furnaces are similarly
affected beginning April 1937. Stocks at furnaces include stocks
at both Unit (id States and Canadian furnaces. Stocks on Lake
Erie docks are United States docks only. The number of furnaces
has varied from 341 to 186 (189 at the end of 1941), the large
reduction resulting from the dismantling of furnaces and from
the elimination of furnaces which no longer use lake ore. Shipments represent movement of lake ore through the upper lake
ports, including not only tonnage passing through the Sault Ste.
Marie Canals but also that from ports on Lake Michigan but do not
include direct rail shipments; small amounts shipped from Canada
are included beginning August 1939. In most years the Lake Superior region accounts for approximately 85 percent of the total
iron ore shipments in the country. Because navigation is closed,
no shipments by water are made during the first 3 months of the
year; monthly averages, however, are based on 12 months. Tonnages
for the upper lake ports are railroad weights, whereas those at
other ports are bill-of-lading weights.
Earlier monthly data are found in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS; only minor revisions have been made.

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and Bureau of the
Census thereafter. Data represent general imports through 1933,
and imports for consumption subsequently. However, iron ore has
been free of duty beginning October 4, 1913, and statistics on
the two basis are, therefore, the same since that date. Data for
imports of manganese ore cover gross weight prior to September
22, 1922, and manganese content beginning on that date. Imports
from Cuba, which were reported only in the raw state from 1923
OF CURRENT BUSINESS
through 1926, are excluded in those years, the gross weights being as follows:
1923, 9,062 tons; 1924, 23,065 tons; 1925,
12,745 tons; 1926, 14,112 tons. The publication of data has been
discontinued for the duration of the war.
Earlier monthly data are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census. Data for 1926 to 1935 cover reports of 112 manufacturers
operating 121 plants; for 1936, 109 manufacturers with 118
plants; for 1937, 108 manufacturers with 117 plants; for 1938,
104 manufacturers with 114 plants; for 1939 and 1940, 102 manufacturers with 113 plants, and for 1941, 99 manufacturers with
110 plants. The reduction in the number of reporters in most
cases resulted from manufacturers discontinuing operations. The
manufacturers whose data are included in these statistics produced about 93 percent of the total value of the output of the
industry reported at the Census of Manufacturers for 1939 and
1937 and about 88 percent for prior years. New orders represent
orders booked, less cancellations.
Monthly data for 1932-37 appear in the 1940, 1938, and 1936
SUPPLEMENTS; for 1926-31, on p. 20 of the April 1933 SURVEY.

Compiled by the Iron Age. Furnaces in blast represent coke
furnaces (also some anthracite in early periods); they do not include the small number fired with charcoal. Production data include pig iron and ferro-alloys made in blast furnaces (except
charcoal iron, which represented only one-tenth of one percent
of the total in 1939, according to the Census of Manufactures).
Production as reported by Iron Age differs somewhat from that reported by the American Iron and Steel Institute, owing primarily
to the inclusion by the latter of pig iron and ferro-alloys made
in electric furnaces.
For earlier monthly data on number of furnaces in blast, see
the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS; earlier monthly data
on capacity of furnaces and production, in long tons, are also
available in these SUPPLEMENTS, Monthly production data for 1913
to 1937 are shown in short tons in the October 1940 SURVEY, p. 14.

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, representing averages of Tuesday quotations as reported by Iron Age. Basic pig iron prices are those at the
Mahoning and Shenango Valley furnaces.
Comparable monthly data appear in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the American Metal Market. Data represent averages of da^ily prices of pig iron, computed from 10 tons distributed as follows (for January 2, 1942): 1 ton each of Bessemer, valley; No. 2 foundry, valley; No. 2 foundry at Philadelphia,
at Buffalo, at Cleveland, and at Chicago; 2 tons each of basic,
valley, and No. 2 southern foundry, Cincinnati.
Earlier monthly data are in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932
SUPPLEMENTS.
Compiled by the Institute of Boiler and Radiator Manufacture
ers. The figures are given in square feet of radiation and
pounds of iron for boilers. The boilers are low pressure castiron boilers used for heating. Data for radiation include, in
addition to ordinary type cast-iron radiators, cast-iron convectors and convector-radiators (but not nonferrous metal convectors) for all reporting firms beginning January 1940, Prior to
1940 the convectors were incompletely reported.
The reporting firms are estimated by the Institute to account
for nearly 99 percent of the cast-iron low pressure heating boilers and cast-iron radiators and convectors produced for 1940 and
1941 and 90-95 percent for the earlier years back to 1930. The
comparability of the data was seriously affected between 1929
and 1930 by the inclusion beginning January 1930 of data for several companies not previously reporting. The inclusion of data
for the additional companies increased the totals for 1930 as
follows: Round boilers—production, 8.2 percent; shipments, 8,7
percent; stocks, 9.8 percent; square boilers —production, 7.2
percent; shipments, 6.8 percent; stocks, 4 9 percent; radiation—
.
production, 21.1 percent; shipments, 20.9 percent.; stocks, 11.0
percent. In several instances where a company failed to file a
monthly report, the figures for the missing month are included
with the following month*s report.
Monthly data for 1932-37 appear in the 1940, 1938, and 1936
SUPPLEMENTS. The radiation figures are designated "ordinary type
radiators" in these SUPPLEMENTS but, according to the Institute,
include in part data for cast-iron convectors and radiators, as
stated above.

17 to 19 for earlier years. The reporting firms account for
practically the entire output of the industry. New orders are

Compiled by the U. 5. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census. Data represent commercial steel castings or castings
made for sale. New orders represent orders booked during the
month less cancellations. Figures for 1920 through 1932 cover
reports from 128 to 132 manufacturers, the slight changes in the
number of reporting firms having only a minor effect upon the
comparability of the data. Figures for 1933 and 1934 cover reports from 164 manufacturers; for 1935-37, 180 manufacturers; for
1938, 183 manufacturers; and for 1939-41, 187 manufacturers.
Monthly average data for 1933 for 128 manufacturers, comparable
with the data for 1932, are as follows: Total new orders, 21,257
short tons; new orders, railway specialties, 5,032 short tons;
total production, 21,146 short tons; production railway specialties, 4,340 short tons. For January 1935, the only month for
which data for both 164 and 180 companies are available, the
change in the number of reporting companies increased total new
orders 1.7 percent and total production 1.8 percent and did not
affect the figures for railway specialties. Changes in the number of firms reporting in later periods did not materially
affect the comparability of the data. The 187 firms reporting
beginning 1939 produced approximately 96 percent of the total
value of steel castings made for sale as reported to the Census
of Manufactures for 19391. The 183 manufacturers reporting for
1938 represented practically the entire industry as reported to
the 1937 Census of Manufactures; the manufacturers reporting
prior to 1938 represented 95 percent of the total value a; reported to the 1935 Census and 90 percent of the 1933 Census of
Manufactures totals. Prior to 1935 the coverage was about 80
percent.
The present 187 firms have a rated monthly capacity of 117,039
short tons normally devoted to castings produced for sale as
such, the capacity being; based on average monthly shipments for
the best 6 consecutive months since January 1, 1928* Of this
capacity, 46,816 tons are usually devoted to railway specialties
and 70,233 tons to miscellaneous castings. Railway specialties
include such items as bolsters, side arms, draft arms, couplers,
and cast-steel car wheels* Data relating to capacity ratios
prior to 1935 are not comparable with those for subsequent periods, since the capacity figures from which the ratios were then
computed included the rated capacity of some plants producing
castings for their own finished products, as well as castings
produced for sale. The capacity figure beginning 1935 is, as
stated above, for commercial castings only. Statistics relating
to production prior to 1926 are not available.

Steel production compiled by the American Iron and Steel
Institute includes, in addition to the ingot production by the
open-hearth and Bessemer processes, electric ingots and steel for
castings, except steel for castings produced in foundries operated by companies which do not produce ingots. Crucible steel production is not included in these figures. Monthly figures, which
are not available from all companies, are calculated to 100percent production on the basis of the ratios between the annual
production of the reporting companies and the total production of
all companies. In the latest year, before the total annual production of all companies becomes available, the monthly figures
of the reporting companies are calculated to 100-percent production according to the ratio applied in the preceding year; they
are later revised when the final total production for the year
is available.
Data for 1941 are based on reports by companies
which in 1940 made 98 percent of the open-hearth, 100 percent of
the Bessemer, and 86 percent of the electric ingots and steel for
castings produced by the industry.
Percent of the capacity shown here is the ratio of average weekly production in a given month to average weekly capacity
235
calculated on annual capacity as of the end of the preceding year
(with the exception of July-December 1937 which is based on
capacity as of July 1, 1937, and July-December, 1941, which is
based on capacity of June 30, 1941), no allowance being made for
Sundays or holidays. The annual capacity as of December 31 of
each year on which the percentage of capacity for the following
year is based, is as follows (in thousands of short tons): 1925,
62,833; 1926, 65,283; 1927, 66,907; 1928, 69,554; 1929, 71,011;
1930, 75,299; 1931, 76,875; 1932, 76,744; 1933, 78,078; 1934,
78,440; 1935, 78,152; 1936, 78,137; (July 1, 1937, 7 , 6 ) 1937,
844;
80,176; 1938, 81,824; 1939, 81,614; 1940, 84,148; (June 30, 1941,
86,145). Beginning January 1942 these percentages will be based
on the annual capacity of 88,566,000 net tons as of December 31
1941.
For monthly data prior to 1938 see table 9, p. 16, of the March
1941 SURVEY.
v
Compiled by the American Metal Market* Data represent the
average price of finished steel products, excluding rails, based
on daily prices of 10 pounds of steel products weighted according
to the importance of their production. The composite (as of January 2, 1942) includes the following:
2 pounds of bars; V&
pounds each of plates, pipe, and sheets; 1 pound each of shapes,
wire nails, and strips; and H pound of tin plate.
See the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS for monthly data
back to 1923.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, representing unweighted averages of Tuesday quotations as reported by Iron Age. Steel billet prices are those of
Bessemer billets prior to 1929,
In recent years, however, the
output of Bessemer billets has" been small, and the prices beginning with 1929 cover primarily those of open-hearth billets.
Since prices of Bessemer and open-hearth billets did not vary
greatly in the early periods shown for these series and were
practically identical from 1926 through 1928, the figures represent a fairly comparable trend. Structural steel prices are
mill prices of structural shapes, beams, etc., 3" - 15".
Earlier monthly data are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Shipments of rolled and finished steel products are as reported by the V. S. Steel Corporation, Monthly data shown in
earlier SUPPLEMENTS were on a gross tonnage basis* Monthly data
for the present series for 1929-37 are shown in table 21, p. 18
of the April 1940 SURVEY.

Based on annual figures of total production of steel other
than crucible, including production of steel for castings by all
companies; only production of steel for castings by companies
that produce steel ingots is included in figures for later years.
The monthly average for 1917 strictly comparable with earlier
data is 4,194,000 short tons.

in 1940 and 1941.
Manufacturers included in these statistics
produced approximately 92 percent of the total value of the output of the industry as reported to the 1939 Census of Manufactures. Data represent steel barrels end drums (except beer barrels) of 19-gauge or heavier steel, and steel barrels and drums
made wholly or partly of 20-gauge, when of other than open-head
construction; also grease drums of 100 pounds capacity when made
of 20-gauge or heavier steel. Percentages of capacity are based
on 25 working days per month. Data for light types (lighter
than 19-gauge) are also available on the same report of the Bureau of the Census,
Monthly data for 1934-37 appear in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS. Data shown in earlier SUPPLEMENTS are not comparable as
they are for a smaller number of companies. Comparable data for
1933 are available upon request.

Compiled by the £/. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census. Data, which relate only to boilers of 100 square feet
of heating surface and over, cover reports of 72 manufacturers
in 1927-29, 68 in 1930-36, 67 in 1937, 69 in 1938-39, and 62 in
1940-41, reductions in number resulting, inmost instances, from
mergers or from firms having gone out of business. Data shown
in the monthly SURVEY beginning January 1942 cover 58 manufacturers, 4 previously reporting having gone out of business. The
reporting manufacturers produced approximately 90 percent of the
output of the industry as reported to the Census of Manufactures
for 1939. The releases of the Bureau of the Census show in detail the principal types of stationary and marine boilers included in these totals*

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census. Data for office furniture include reports of manufacturers ranging from 30 to 41. in number (41 for January 1939 to
the middle of 1941; several of these companies discontinued this
line of business during the latter part of 1941); data for shelving are according to reports of manufacturers ranging from 12 to
23 in number (23 beginning in 1 3 ) The manufacturers reporting
99.
produced approximately 90 percent of the total reported to the
Census of Manufactures for 1939.
Data beginning 1937 are not
strictly comparable with earlier figures which are shown in italics. By the inclusion of additional firms at the beginning of
1937, shipments for both office furniture and shelving were increased approximately 5 percent. Data for office furniture represent actual realized value delivered which is as close to an
f. o. b. factory price as possible but branch office sales include
some costs, such as commissions and freight, which can not be
separated. Office furniture does not include professional,
store, and beauty-shop furniture. Shelving shipments beginning
with 1940 are reported f. o. b, factory and do not include freight
and erection charges; for earlier years "actual realized value
delivered" was used. New orders are less cancellations.
Monthly data, subject to the above-mentioned limitations, back
to 1930 are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
(Revision—office furniture shipments, May 1931, $1,305,000.)
when monthly reports were initiated. The annual totals include
small revisions that can not be allocated to the separate quarters because the number of reporting companies is not identical
in all quarters and some companies make adjustments in their
yearly figures which are not available on a quarterly basis.
Monthly averages are based on the annual totals.
For data beginning 1933 see table 45, p. 14, of the November
1940 issue of the SURVEY, except percent of capacity for plates
which are available upon request.
y
The percent of capacity for plates and sheets represents
the relation of current production to an estimated finishing
capacity of these items for the firms reporting during the month
or quarter. This capacity is based on the annual capacity for
individual firms of plates and sheets as of the end of the preceding year* Averages for the year are based on annual production and capacity.

trackwork (switches, switch stands, frogs, crossings, guard
rails and appurtenances) of carbon steel, manganese steel and/
or other metals for both domestic and export use. Monthly figures are available only from the beginning of 1925; see the 1940,

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census* Data, representing metal base products only, cover reports of 99 identical manufacturers beginning 1939; data prior to
1939 shown in italics are for 55 identicals (in 1939 data for
these manufacturers represented 81 percent of the total for the
99 manufacturers reporting in that year). In addition to signs
and table tops, the total includes data for tub covers, stove
parts, refrigerator parts, cooking, household and hospital utensils, and other miscellaneous items. It is not possible to determine the percentage coverage of the industry, since these
items are not* separately classified by the Census of Manufactures*
Monthly data for the 55 identical manufacturers for 1937-39
(affording an overlap with the data for 99 manufacturers) are
shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT, Earlier data fora smaller number
of companies appear in the 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Data furnished by the Organization Service Corporation from
reports of the Spring Washer Institute (formerly the Commercial
Lock Washer Statistical Bureau). Figures covejr reports of 7 firms
representing approximately 83 percent of the entire industry beginning January 1940.
Prior to 1940 data are for firms representing about 90 percent of the industry. Monthly data back to

Compiled by the American Iron and Steel Institute from reports of production for sale by companies representing 96.5 percent of the capacity and production of the industry for JanuaryJuly 1941, 97,6 to 98 percent for the remainder of the year, more
than 95 percent for 1938-40, more than 96 percent in 1933 and
1937, and more than 97 percent in 1934-36. The industry includes
only those processors wfro are also primary producers of steel.
Data shown here represent production of the more important steel
products for sale outside the industry. Sales to members of the
industry for further conversion, shown separately in reports of
the Institute, are excluded. The figures should not be interpret a ted to represent the relative importance of the various
items but rather production at the stage at which they leave members for further processing by nonmembers or as finished goods*
Products in the earlier processing stages are produced for sale
in smaller quantities than the more nearly finished products
because they are usually further processed in the producing plant
or in other plants within the industry. The items which are
not self-explanatory are as follows: Plates include sheared
and universal; pipes and tubes include butt-weld, lap- weld,
electric-weld, seamless and conduit pipe, and mechanical tubing;
sheets include hot-rolled, hot-rolled-annealed, galvanized, coldrolled, and all other sheets; wire and wire products comprise
wire rods, drawn wire, nails and staples, barbed and fence wire,
bale ties, all other wire products, and fence posts (prior to
the fourth quarter of 1 3 )

addition to the items shown, data on ingots, blooms, billets,
slabs, sheet bars, steel piling, skelp, slice bars and tin
plates, concrete reinforcing and cold-finished bars, alloy bars
(hot-rolled and cold-finished), hoops and bailing bands, black
plate, wheels, axles, track spikes, and other products. Data

of dealers' daily buying prices at New York for principal grades
of aluminum scrap (consisting largely of automobile crankcases).
Monthly data beginning 1925 are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936,
and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and Bureau of the
Census thereafter. Exports cover refined copper in ingots, bars,
and other forms, old and scrap copper, pipes and tubes, plates
and sheets, rods, wire, and insulated copper wire and cable (beginning with 1922, when quantity data for this item were first
available, exports in that year amounting to 4,288 short tons).
Imports, representing general imports through 1933 and imports
for consumption thereafter, include the metal content of copper
in all forms (ore, concentrates, matte, regulus, unrefined,
black, blister, refined, scrap, etc.). Both exports and imports
exclude a small amount of copper manufactures for which no quantity data are available.
Imports for smelting, refining, and
export are imports which are processed here in bonded smelters
and refineries for reexport. This copper when exported is included in the figures for domestic exports.
For monthly data prior to 1938 for exports, total imports, and
imports for smelting, refining, and export, see the 1940, 1938,
1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. Data relating to exports published
in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT do not include insulated copper wire and
cable. Revised data beginning July 1932 for the new break-down
of imports for domestic consumption into refined and unrefined
copper are available on request.
^ Compiled by the Engineering and Mining Journal, Data, based
on sales for both prompt and future delivery, represent average
quotations for copper in the form of wire bars and ingot bars.
In the trade, copper prices are quoted on a delivered basis*
Since delivery and interest charges vary with the destination,
the figures here are net pricss at refineries on the Atlantic
seaboard* Most of the refineries on the Atlantic seaboard are
located in the New York tidewater area so that, for all practical
purposes, New York, f* o. b. refinery is the same as f.o. b, Atlantic seaboard. Quotations for July 1934 to May 1935, inclusive,
conform to the Blue Eagle price reduced to refinery basis.
Monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936,

Compiled by the Copper Institute. Data include copper derived from domestic raw material and from duty-free foreign raw
material, except that beginning March 1941 domestic deliveries
include deliveries of duty-paid foreign copper for domestic consumption. Deliveries represent producers* deliveries to fabricators. Mine or smelter production represents mine or smelter
production or shipments and custom intake, including scrap intake, by primary smelters and refineries. Refinery production
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
represents the output of primary refineries, including some scrap
refined to standard grades. Stock figures represent refined
stocks at refineries, on consignment, and in commodity exchange
warehouses; they do not include stocks at consumers' plants or
warehouses. Monthly data are not available for the last 5 months
of 1939.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and Bureau of the
Census thereafter. Data represent general imports through 1933
and imports for consumption thereafter; they include the lead
content of all lead ores and of bullion and base bullion, pigs,
bars, scrap and old, and lead content of babbitt metal, Bolder,
etc., type metal, and antimonial lead, excluding only a small
amount of imports of lead manufactures for which no quantity data
are available. The publication of data has been discontinued for
the duration of the war.
Monthly data for 1934-37 are in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS.
Figures shown in the 1936 and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS do not Include
data for babbitt metal, solder, etc., type metal, and antimonial
lead; monthly data prior to 1934, revised to include these items,
are available upon request.
2
Compiled by the American Bureau of Metal Statistics. Data,
representing the lead content of domestic ore received by United
States smelters, are computed on the basis of estimated recoverable lead. According to the reporting source these monthly totals
probably under run the actual production of pig lead because of
the estimational factor and the possibility that some lead receipts may escape attention. For earlier data see the 1940,
1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
3
Compiled by the Zook Reporting Agency and published by the
Joplin Globe. Reported data are for weeks ended on Thursday*
Figures are expressed in terms of concentrates (lead content is
about 80 percent) and are shown in short tons, wet weight; they
represent shipments from mines in the Tri-State mining field to
smelters in the Joplin district, which includes parts of Kansas,
Missouri, and Oklahoma, as reported by smelters in the district.
Data are weighted car loadings and represent the movement to
smelters in standard railway box cars.
Data represent 4- and 5-week totals and have been revised back
through 1936 (as shown here and in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT) to include all data for weeks ended on the first and second of the
month in the preceding month's data on the assumption that the
majority of the activity fell in that month. Data for 1936-37
are shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT. Monthly data shown in the
1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are not strictly comparable, for
these data represent the sums of the weeks ended within the calendar month,
* Data are compiled by the American Bureau of Metal Statistics
(except data relating to prices, which are compiled by the Engineering and Mining Journal) and represent arithmetical averages
of daily prices of desilverized pig lead. Total lead production
represents domestic lead refined by all primary refiners and most
of the refiners of secondary material who produce soft lead, plus
foreign lead that is re'fined here and entered for domestic consumption. Domestic production represents the total refined lead
produced from domestic ore as reported by primary refiners, plus
some production from secondary material passing through primary
smelters. Shipments represent the total reported shipments of
domestically refined lead from domestic and foreign ore and secondary material, including antimonial, for consumption in the
237
United States, but do not include lead shipped into domestic consumption out of stocks of imported refined lead, which have been
attaining large proportions since middle 1940. Stocks (including
antimonial) comprise those of primary refineries and some secondary refiners; they exclude refined lead produced from ore or base
bullion of foreign origin, except prior to 193,5 when a small
amount was included. See the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS, for monthly data prior to 1938.

Comp;led by the American Bureau of Metal Statistics* Data
prior to 1927 shown in italics represent the estimated consumption of primary tin in the manufacture of tin plate and terne
plate only; beginning with 1927, the figures also include primary
tin consumed in manufacture of babbitt metal, solder, bronze, collapsible tubes, foil, pipe, pewter and other white metal alloys,
castings, tinning copper sheet and wire, stannic oxides and chlorides, and miscellaneous* Primary tin consumed in the manufacture of tin plate and terne plate in 1927 totaled 24,200 long
tons or about one-third of the total consumption. The domestic
production of pig tin from re smelt ing byproducts of the makers of
tin and terne plate and the recovery by detinners does not enter
into the above accounting, for the reason that the use of such
tin has already been credited to tin plate and terne plate. These
estimates of tin consumption are not sufficiently close to determine changes in invisible stocks but reveal the trend of consumption.
Monthly figures for 1934-37 are shown in the 1940 and 1938
SUPPLEMENTS; 1922-26 and 1933 monthly figures are available upon
request; no other monthly data for total tin consumption are
available.
All figures shown in the 1936 SUPPLEMENT cover the
consumption of tin in the manufacture of tin plate and terne
plate only.

Deliveries and stocks of tin are compiled by the Commodity
Exchange, Inc. (formerly by the National Metal Exchange and the
New York Metal Exchange). Deliveries represent foreign tin
shipped from licensed warehouses, including reexports and deliveries to the U, S, Government, pitas foreign tin removed directly
from docks. Shipments of domestic reclaimed tin are not included
nor is virgin tin produced in the United States from foreign ores
included. Deliveries in 1940-41 have been in excess of consumption, partly due to the inclusion of tin acquired by the Metals
Reserve Co, for emergency reserve stocks. United States stocks
represent stocks in licensed warehouses and landings in New York
and do not include stocks afloat to the United States nor stocks
of tin held by the Metals Reserve Co. Data for world stocks represent total visible supply, exclusive of consumers' stocks, including all known stocks afloat. Beginning January 31, 1930,
the figures include carry-over (exclusive of ore) in Straits
Settlements (on lighters and steamers not cleared and tin held
by smelters under delivery warrants), amounting to 4, 730 tons on
that date and averaging 4,524 tons for 1935) and beginning January 1935, carry-over at principal continental European smelters
(Arnheni alone was included prior to 1 3 )
9 5 . Carry-over at European smelters, other than Arnhem, amounted to 1,810 tons, or $.9
percent of the total, for January 193S and averaged for the year
1,296 tons, or 6.7 percent of the total world stocks.
World
stocks have not been reported since June 1941 and the publication
of United States deliveries and stocks was discontinued after
December 1941.
Monthly data prior to 1938 appear in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the tf.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and Bureau of the
Census thereafter, representing general imports through 1933 and
imports for consumption subsequently. The publication of data
has been discontinued for the duration of the war. Monthly data
prior to 1938 for bars, blocks, pigs, etc., are found in the
1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Figures for 1921 and 1922 are partly estimated to include
data for two nonreporting smelters producing pig lead for their
own consumption. Since receipts at these two smelters constituted about 18 percent of the total receipts in 1923, a corresponding percentage was added to the reported figures for 1921 and
1922 to obtain the estimated totals,

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941, and the Bureau
of the Census thereafter. Data represent general imports through
1933 and imports for consumption subsequently.
Imports for
smelting, refining, and export are not shown separately in statistics of general imports and for years prior to 1934 such imports are included in the figures shown for ores under imports
for domestic consumption. Data for bars, blocks, pigs, etc., include old, dross and skimmings, not available separately prior
to 1934, and beginning in 1934, sheets. Zinc dust is not included. Monthly data for years prior to 1938 are available on
request. The publication of data has been discontinued for the
duration of the war,
8
Compiled by the Zook Reporting Agency and published by the
Joplin Globe for weeks ended on Thursday. Figures are expressed
in terms of concentrates (zinc content is about 60 percent) and
are shown in short tons, wet weight; they represent shipments
from and stocks at mines in the Tri-state district. Zinc concentrate shipments are weighted car-loadings and represent the
movement to smelters in standard railway box cars as reported by
smelters in the Joplin district. Stocks are estimated each week
by the Joplin Globe from these shipments and estimated production
data. In recent years, the Tri-state district (which includes part
of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma) has produced over one-third
of the zinc ore mined in the United States. Shipments are recorded as loaded at the mines by buyers for shipment to smelters.
Monthly data are reported on the basis of 4- and 5-week totals
and have been revised back through 1936 (as shown here and in the
1940 SUPPLEMENT) to include all data for weeks ended on the first
and second of the month in the preceding month's data, on the assumption that the majority of the activity fell in that month.
Data shown in the 1938 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS are not strictly
comparable since monthly totals shown therein are totals of weeks
ended within the calendar month. Some revisions are made which
affect the stock figure for the first of the following year but
these are not distributed on a monthly basis.

Compiled by the Engineering and Mining Journal, representing
averages of daily prices for common grades of slab zinc, usually
described as prime western. Common grades of slab zinc are reported on the basis of St. Louis, although relatively little
slab zinc is actually delivered at that point. Sales are made
for delivery at the places where required, and prices are figured
back to a St. Louis basis or are made on St. Louis basis and
figured up to points of delivery, with allowance for freight
differentials either way.
Monthly data prior to 1938 appear in the 1940, 1938, 1936,
and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
^ Compiled by the American Zinc Institute, except prior to
1920; production and stocks for 1913-19 were compiled by the
U.S. Bureau of Mines and the American Metal Market, respectively.
Averages for production for 1913-19 are based on annual totals;
stocks for this period represent year-end stocks at smelters
and in bonded warehouses. Figures beginning 1920 represent the
production, shipments, and stocks of slab zinc as reported by
all producers represented in the membership of the Institute.
For 1929-39 data represent virgin zinc produced from domestic
ore only, plus secondary zinc produced by primary smelters. For
years prior to 1929 and beginning January 1940, production from
foreign ores is included in the figures which reflect total output at smelters of slab zinc of all grades. Production from foreign ores was not a vital factor prior to 1940. According to
data compiled by the U. S. Bureau of Mines, production from foreign ores a v e r a g e d only 1M percent of total smelter production of primary zinc for the 1929-39 period ( . percent for
32
1 3 ) However, the revision to include foreign ores at the begin99.
ning of 1940 accounts for the increase in stocks from December 1939
to January 1940. Figures for January 1940 prior to revisions to
include data on production from foreign ores are as follows
(short tons): Production, 52,399; shipments, total and domestic,
54,862; stocks, 63,532. Shipments to domestic consumers under
drawback are included with total shipments, together with exports, but not in domestic shipments.
For monthly data for 1923-37 see the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932
SUPPLEMENTS. (Revisions;
January 1927, domestic shipments,

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census. The (>0 manufacturers reporting total consumption and
shipments beginning 1939 represent almost the entire industry.
Data for years prior to 1939 and separate figures for shipments
and consumption in own plants are available only for 38 manufacturers (40 in the earlier years, the reduction being due to a
merger and one firm going out of business); these firms accounted
for almost 50 percent of the total production reported at the
1939 Census of Manufactures. Of these 38 manufacturers, 25 reported only sales and 19 firms (including several important railroad systems) reported only consumption of their production; 4
firms reported both sales and consumption of their own metal*

Compiled by the Non-Ferrous Ingot Metal Institute, representing reports of member companies, except data relating to deliveries for January 1934-April 1935, inclusive, which were compiled
by the Code Authority of the Ingot Brass and Bronze Industry.
The Code Authority data for deliveries cover the entire industry,
whereas member companies were estimated to comprise at that time
from 80 to 90 percent of the.industry. A comparison of deliveries with Census data on production for 1937 and 1939 indicates
that for recent years, the Institute's data represent approximately two-thirds of the industry. Comparable data are not
available after September 1941, Beginning with October 1941,
a new series on shipments or deliveries, estimated to cover 9799 percent of the industry, was released by the Defense Council
of the Ingot Bras's and Bronze Industry. October to December 1941
data for the new series are as follows (short tons): October,
28,103; November, 20,412; December, 21,305. Monthly data back
to 1929 are shown in the 1940,1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census. Data for blowers and fans and unit heaters represent
orders booked and for 1941 cover 105 manufacturers; for 1940, a
few additional manufacturers who had gone out of business or
ceased working on this type of equipment by 1941 were included.
Data for 1936-38 are from monthly reports of 125 manufacturers,
and for 1939, from reports of 267 manufacturers, covering both
these products and air-conditioning and heating systems and
equipment; the number reporting blowers and fans and unit heaters
is not available separately.
Available information indicates
that the re was no appreciable change in the coverage between 1939
and 1940 but a substantial increase from 1938 to 1939* The ratio
of data for 1939 from reports of 125 companies, comparable with
data for 1938, to the 1939 data shown here was 94.1 percent for
blowers and fans and 91.8 percent for unit heaters. Data prior
to 1936 for unit heaters cover 56 Companies (2 of which discontinued business in December 1 3 )
9 5 . The- coverage of the data
for unit heaters was not materially changed between 1935 and 1936
as most of the new companies added in 1936 produced primarily
air-conditioning systems and equipment.
Data for blowers and fans include figures for blower and filter
units (furnace blower) beginning 1939; this item was not included
for earlier years but production prior to 1939 was probably small*
Data for blowers and fans and unit heaters are shown in detail
in the original reports.
Monthly data for 1936-37 for blowers and fans and unit heaters
appear on page 138 of the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and 1933-35 monthly
data for unit heaters are available in the 1938 and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS. The figures for 1933-38 are shown here on a quarterly
basis for comparison with data beginning 1939.
2
Data are furnished by the Organization Service Corporation
from compilations by the Electric Overhead Crane Institute, and
cover reports of 7 to 11 manufacturers (7 in 1941), estimated
to represent 93 percent of the entire industry. The reduction
in the number of reporting firms is due to consolidations or
purchases.
Earlier monthly data appear in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932
SUPPLEMENTS.
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Compiled by the Foundry Equipment Manufacturers Association
from reports of 24 to 26 members during 1940 and 1941 representing between 70 and 75 percent of the total dollar sales of the
foundry equipment industry. Prior to 1940 data are for 11 to 23
firms which represented 65 to 70 percent of the dollar sales of
the foundry equipment industry. The principal products are
molding machines, sand-cutting machines, sand-blast machines,
tumbiing ba r r els, sand-mixing machine s, cupolas, ladles, core making machines, etc*
Beginning 1940, data represent net new orders (total, less
cancellations) to all metal-working industries. The breakdown
between new equipment and repairs is not available prior to May
1940.
Repairs include almost entirely repair parts as the reconditioning of equipment at factory points is not large in this
industry since most foundries or customer plants have their own
crews to do that work.
Data shown for the period 1928-39 are computed from indexes
of net new orders to the foundry industry on a 1922-24 base by
dividing these data by 1.328. Net new orders are not available
prior to 1928.
Monthly figures shown in the 1940 and earlier
SUPPLEMENTS are on the 1922-24 base and represent gross new
orders to the foundry industry only. For general trend purposes
the factor 1.328 could be applied to these data for conversion
if monthly figures are desired.
" Compiled by the Ut S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, from reports of 160 manufacturers in 1933 and 1934, 152
at the end of 1935 (8 manufacturers discontinued business during
1935), 178 manufacturers for 1936-39, 170 for 1940, and 159 for
1941.
The changes between 1939 and 1941 resulted from firms
going out of business or becoming inactive and the addition of
2 new manufacturers before the close of 1940.
The 26 companies
added during 1936 were newly established companies except itor a
few small manufacturers who failed to report prior to 1936.
For
the period January-June 1936, the ratios of data for the 152
firms previously reporting to those for 178 manufacturers are
as follows: New orders, 98.0 percent; unfilled orders, 99.9
percent; shipments, 97.9 percent; stocks, 99.7 percent.
The
manufacturers whose data are included here produced approximately
90 percent of the total value of the output for the industry
reported at the Census of Manufacturers for 1937 and 1939*
These statistics refer to oil burners and oil burner units consuming fuel oil of commercial standard No. 1 grade, or heavier,
used for application to central heating plants for homes, apartments, office buildings, churches, theaters, and similar buildings; to industrial-process equipment such as heat-treating
furnaces, industrial ovens, etc.; and for generation of steam
for power. They do not include burners used in ranges, stoves,
water-heaters, and space heaters, which are classified as "distillate oil burners. '* N«t new orders represent new orders less
cancellations.
Shipments include those for export as well as
for domestic use.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Cens.ua, from reports of 108 manufacturers through 1937, 112 for
1938, and 101 for 1939-41 (107 reported for 1940 but for most of
the year 6 were practically inactive). The reporting manufacturers produced approximately 95 percent of the total value of the
output of the industry as reported to the Census of Manufactures
for 1937 and 1939. Changes in the number of companies represent
new firms and firms which discontinued the line of business. A
mechanical stoker is a device consisting of a mechanicallyoperated feeding mechanism and a grate, used for feeding solid
fuel into a furnace, admitting air to the fuel for combustion
and providing a means of removal or discharge of refuse. Mechanical stokers are classified by use as follows: Class 1, residential; class 2, small apartment house, flat, and small commercial heating jobs; class 3, apartment house and general small
commercial heating jobs; classes 4 and 5, large commercial and
high-pressure steam plants (capacity over 300 pounds of coal per
hour). Data shown for classes 4 and 5 prior to 1937were reported
as class 4 but are practically equivalent to the present classes
4 and 5 combined. For monthly data prior to 1938, see the 1940,

The reporting firms represent a large proportion of the industry;
the approximate percentage can not be ascertained with accuracy.
Data cover cast-iron and steel, coal-, gas-, and oil-fired warmair furnaces without air-conditioning equipment and complete winter air-conditioning units, including warm-air furnace, blower,
air cleaner, humidifier, and control equipment. No comparable

facturers between 1936 and 1937 and to 64 in 1939 did not materially affect the comparability of the data. Data prior to
1934 are estimates for 52 firms based on data as reported by 45
firms from 1930 to 1932, inclusive, and 49 in 1933. Since data
for 49 firms are available for both 1933 and 1934, total shipments
for 52 manufacturers for 1933 were estimated by applying the
1933-34 ratio of total shipments of 49 manufacturers to the 1934
total shipments of 52 manufacturers. The monthly figures for
1933 were obtained by applying to the estimated total for the
year the ratios existing between monthly and total shipments for
1933 as actually reported by 49 manufacturers. The same method
was followed in linking the data for earlier years.
Data for water systems cover deep-well and shallow-well systems.
Jet pumps (sometimes known as ejector type) are included beginning January 1939.
Production of jet pumps was small prior to
1939; therefore, the exclusion of this item prior to that year
does not materially affect the comparability of the data.
Refer to the 1940, 1938 and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS for monthly
figures for 1932-37.
* Compiled by the Hydraulic Institute from reports of 25 to 36
companies (25 beginning January 1941) representing, according to
the Institute, about 70 percent of the entire industry, Data
are new orders booked* Reciprocating deep-well pumps, which are
included through 1933, have been excluded since that year, but
the sales of this class of pumps by the members of the Institute
are negligible.
Monthly figures for 1934-37 are available in the 1940 and 1938
SUPPLEMENTS. For comparable monthly figures for 1919-30, see the
April 1937 SURVEY, p. 19. Figures beginning 1931 shown in the
April 1937 SURVEY have been revised to cover the addition of a
new company and to exclude data for a company previously reporting; this change does not affect the figures prior to 1931.

Compiled by Dun StBradstreet for the Association of American
Battery Manufacturers, Inc.
The unadjusted index represents
monthly replacement battery shipments as reported by 42 manufacturers whose shipments represent approximately 90 percent of
the1 total unit sales of automotive replacement batteries, according to the Biennial Census of Manufactures for 1939. The index
is based on monthly average shipments for 1934-36*
The index of 12-month moving totals replaces the seasonally
adjusted index shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT. The latter index
was discontinued by the compiling agency since seasonal factors
ceased to be the major force affecting monthly shipments because
of war-time conditions. The new index for a particular month
is the estimated total industry shipments during the 12 months
ended with that month expressed as a percentage of the 1934-36
annual average shipments* The December index for the 12-month
totals differs slightly from the 1937 and 1938 annual averages
of the monthly index because the former was corrected on the
basis of the 1939 Census of Manufactures.
Data are compiled by the National Electrical Manufacturers
Association and are based on the billed unit sales of electric
water heaters and electric ranges from members and nonmembers
reporting to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association;

manufacturers unit sales of electric ironers and washers compiled
by the American Washer and Ironer Manufacturers Association;
and unit sales of vacuum cleaners compiled by the Vacuum Cleaner
Manufacturers Association. These Associations have practically
complete coverage on all of the data included in the index with
the exception of the water heater data for which the coverage
was estimated to be between 85 and 90 percent by the National
Electrical Manufacturers Association.
For each of the products enumerated above, a separate index is
compiled by the use of percentage changes of the current monthly
totals from those of the previous month. These individual products indexes are combined into a group index with weights based
on the relative importance of the different products compiled from
their total yearly retail dollar values. These weights are adjusted each year. Retail values used in weighting washing machines, ironers, and vacuum cleaners are based on retail information released by the two associations involved; retail values
of electric ranges and water heaters are based on estimates compiled by "Electrical Merchandising" of the McGraw-Hill Publishing Company.
The index does not include data for electric refrigerators
which are available in a separate index shown in the publication
Nema News. Refrigerator sales amount to almost 60 percent of
total household appliance sales. Actual unit sales of refrigerators are shown in the SURVEY. For monthly data for 1934-37,
see table 38, p. 21 of the January 1942 SURVEY.

Compiled by the American Washer and Ironer Manufacturers
Association from reports of 27 to 33 member concerns (32 in 1940
and 25 by the end of 1941, several companies having withdrawn
from the Association and suspended operations), which have accounted for about 98 percent of the industry total, except for
the earlier years shown. Data include estimates for nonreporting
companies.
Figures represent total unit shipments (including
shipments for export) of household electrical and gasoline washers and electrical and gas-heated ironers by manufacturers to
wholesrlers, distributors, and jobbers.
In ecent years, sales of gasoline washers represented the following percentages of total unit sales: 1938, 9.3 percent; 1939,
7. 2 percent; 1940, 6.3percent; 1941, 6.6 percent. Figures ^fter
1932 do not include hand and waterpower washers which were negligible subsequent to that date.
Monthly data for 1936 and 1937 appear in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT;
earlier data beginning 1933 are in table 43, p. 17 of the October 1939 SURVEY.

Data are compiled by the National Electrical Manufacturers
Association from reports furnished voluntarily by its members.
This series replaces the data on dollar sales of electric ranges
shown in earlier SUPPLEMENTS* Data cover sales of household
electric ranges of over 2& kilowatt capacity in continental
United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. The number of firms reporting
increased gradually from 7 in 1931 to 11 in 1934 and 1935 and
to 18 and 19 from July 1939 through 1941 (18 for December 1941).
No estimates of the coverage of the industry are available prior
to 1936.
For 1936 to the latter part of 1941, the association
believes their coverage to have been between 90 and 95 percent;
the reduction in the number of reporting companies in December
1941 and February 1942 lowered the coverage to between 80 and
85 percent*
For monthly data for 1931-37 see p. 18 of the November 1941

Compiled by the Edison Electric Institute. Data represent
estimates of total domestic sales (except prior to 1931, when
some sales for export are included) of household electric refrigerators by manufacturers, including cabinets with systems and
separate systems. Figures beginning with 1931 are estimated
from reports issued by the National Electrical Manufacturers
•Association covering reports of its members only for net sales to
dealers and jobbers. Data prior to 1930 were furnished to the
Edison Electric Institute by the NcGraw-Hill Publishing Company.
Comparable monthly data for 1932-37 appear in the 1940. 1938,

Compiled by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association
from reports of both members and nonmembers. The indexes cover
the following products: Motors and generators— (a) A.C. generators, engine and belt driven only (excluding all waterwheel
and turbogenerators); (b) large A.C. motors (1 to 200 h, p., inclusive, polyphase); large D.C. motors (1 to 200 h. p. , inclusive); (d) synchronous motors (1 h. p. and larger).
Data for
fractional horsepower motors are not included. Transmission and
distribution equipment— (a) high voltage insulators; (b) paper
cable; (c) power switching equipment; (d) transformers larger
than 500 kva; (e) transformers, 500 kva or smaller; (f) varnished
cambric cable. Industrial materials (now designated electrical
insulating materials)— (a) electric porcelain; (b)iaminated products (electrical); (c) manufactured electrical mica; (d) vulcanized fiber.
Indexes are based on billed sales for industrial
goods and orders received for motors and generators and transmission and distribution equipment.
The three indexes are compiled from individual indexes of the
products within the groups weighted by volume of annual sales or
orders. The indexes are based on dollar volume data reported to
the Association and according to the compilers these reporting
organizations are fairly representative of the industry. Link
relatives are used in constructing the indexes to eliminate variations in the reporting sample. No adjustment is made for seasonal variations, long-time trends, accidental fluctuations due to
extremely large orders, or number of working days per month.
Monthly data for 1934-37 appear on p. 18 of the June 1939 SURVEY. Monthly data for 1936-37 are also available in the 1940
SUPPLEMENT.

Compiled by the Industrial Furnace Manufacturers Association,
Inc. Data, representing the sales of electric resistance furnaces for industrial purposes, are based on reports- of 12 member
companies from January 1936 to June 1937 and 14 to 16 companies
since that time, comprising 85 to 95 percent (95 percent or over
in 1941) of total sales of electric furnaces for industrial purposes. Monthly data for 1936-37 are shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; no comparable data are available prior to 1936.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, representing quarterly data as reported by 78 manufacturers of electrical goods. Annual data are expressed as averages of the quarterly figures. Figures include orders for electrical motors, storage batteries, domestic appliances, industrial
equipment, and other electrical apparatus and supplies; these
data are presented, not as a complete statement of the industry,
but as sufficiently representative to indicate the trend. For
comparable totals for individual quarters prior to 1938, see the
1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS and the August 1933 SURVEY, p.
19. A different series was shown in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT.

Compiled by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association
from data furnished voluntarily by its members. It should be
noted that the statistical coverage of the industries is not altogether comprehensive. The Association states that the figures
shown are not necessarily complete or even representative of that
part of the electrical manufacturing industry covered, nor are
they necessarily comparable, and that care should be taken, in
employing these figures, to avoid misinterpretation. For some
items the number of companies reporting has varied only slightly.
For monthly data prior to 1938 for these series, refer to the
1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS (minor revisions in 1931
data for laminated products and power cables and revisions in
1934 and 1935 figures for shipments of vulcanized fiber paper).
Data relating to laminated products cover billed sales (excluding intercompany sales) and include airplane pulleys, molded
gears (automotive), refrigerator doors, breaker strips, bearings,
decorative (including translucent, excluding engravings), and
conrnercial gears and gear stock.
Billings and new orders of electric motors cover domestic business only (that is, sales to organizations within continental
United States, Canal Zone* Alaska, and Hawaii) and comprise
polyphase induction and direct current motors and generators
( / to 150 k.w. ), except mill motors, including rails and pul34
leys sold with motors, but excluding repair and renewal parts,
V belts and other transmission units, and synchronous motors.
Data for paper insulated power cable cover all domestic and
export shipments of both single and multiple conductor cable*
Consumption of vulcanized fiber paper includes that of both
sheet and tube; shipments (which are domestic and exclusive of
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY
intercompany shipments) cbmprise shipments of vulcanized fiber
sheets, rods, specialties, and tubes (beginning 1934) but exclude
hollow ware. The figures for shipments beginning 1934, as published here and in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT, have been revised to include tubes (average monthly shipments of tubes in 1934 represent 6.6 percent of the combined total); 1934 and 1935 monthly
figures are available upon request.

Data are compiled by the Research and Statistical Division
of Dun and Bradstreet, Inc., for the Rigid Steel Conduit Industry, Figures beginning 1937 are reported by an identical group
of 12 manufacturers whose production is estimated to represent
over 95 percent of the industry's output. Wo comparable data
are available prior to 1937.
Sales include all orders billed
and shipped and also consignment customers' sales reported to
manufacturers during each month. Data for black enameled and
galvanized conduit are shown separately in the reports. Monthly
data for 1937 are shown in table 33, p. 26, of the November 1941
SURVEY.

Average for 6 months, July-December,
the average for the year was 95 percent. However, the new mills
did not affect the stock data to the same extent as production;
adjustments were made in the reported data to allow for nonreporting mills. Soda pulp stocks are shown os reported by the
Soda Pulp Manufacturers Association, since reports are stated
to cover all mills producing for market and nonreporting mills
producing for their own use probably carry only small stocks.
The total stock figures for 1940 and 1941 include a small
quantity of semichemical and miscellaneous pulp not shown separately; similar data are not included in the figures for earlier
years*, No data for stocks are available prior to 1934.
The following table shows the number and the estimated coverage
of the mills reporting wood pulp data to the U. S. Pulp Producers
Association, which reports are used as a basis for estimating
data for 100 percent of the industry:

Data arfi compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, and represent imports and
exports of total chemical and mechanically ground wood pulp,
Pulpwoods, rags and rag pulp, and other paper base stocks are not
included.
Data for iirports represent general imports prior to
1934 and imports for consumption beginning in that year. Total
imports include in addition to the total sulphite, total sulphate, and mechanically ground wood pulp shown here, a small
quantitys of soda pulp which may be obtained by subtraction.
Total sulphate imports include both bleached and unbleached sulphate pulp. Total sulphite includes all unbleached sulphite (including easy bleaching, news grade, strong and mitscherlich) and
bleached sulphite (including rayon and special chemical grades
and other bleached sulphite).
The data on imports and exports presented here together with
the data on production and stocks of domestic pulp provide a comprehensive ir.aasure of the total consumption of wood pulp* Annual
production data beginning 1913 may be used in conjunction with
these foreign trade statistics to obtain a rough approximation
of total consumption prior to 1934.
For monthly data for 1934-37 see table 37, pp. 13 and 14 of the
October 1940 SURVEY.

Data beginning 1934 are compiled by the U. S. Pulp Producers
Association for all items except soda pulp for which data are
based on reports of the Soda Pulp Manufacturers Association.
Production data for years prior to 1934 are based on data reported in the Census of Forest Products by the Bureau of the Census.
All production series for 1934 to 1940 have been raised to Census annual totais (sodsi pulp for 1934-36 was raised on the basis
of the coverage of the reported data for 1937 since scda pulp
was not separately classified in Census data prior to that year).
Production data for 1941 have been raised by the U, S. Pulp Producers Association to their estimates of total output for this
year pending the completion of the 1941 Census compilations. The
annual production figures for years prior to 1934 are Census
annual figures reduced to a monthly average basis. Soda pulp is
not available separately prior to 1934 but is included in the
totals. The totals also include for all years a small quantity
of semi-chemical and miscellaneous pulp (including screenings)
not shown separately.
Stock data beginning 1940 and unbleached sulphate stocks for
1938 and 1939 are estimated totals for all producing mills furnished by the U. S. Pulp Producers Association.
Earlier stock
figures for sulphite and groundwood have been adjusted t© raised
production figures by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Except in the case of sulphite stocks for 1937 and 1938,
the adjusted data were computed by applying to reported stocks
the ratio of reported to raised production .figures. Sulphite
stocks for 1937 and 1938 were computed by carrying forward the
1936 raised stock figures through the use of link relatives based
on month-to-month and year-to-year percentage changes in the reported stocks, with adjustments for estimates made by the Association for nonreporting mills.
All sulphate stocks for 1934-37 and bleached sulphate stocks
for 1938 and 1939 are as furnished by the Association for reporting mills. The Association's coverage for bleached sulphate tor
ail years and for unbleaehexl sulphate for 1935-37 was complete,
Beginning in 1938, a number of new unbleached sulphate mills began operations and, as these were not members of the Association,
the coverage of reporting companies for unbleached sulphate decreased during 1938 from 100 percent for January to 96 percent
for March and to 90 £o 91 percent for the remainder of the year;

The Soda Pulp Manufacturers Association's data for 1940 covered
90.4 percent of the total soda pulp reported t© the Bureau of the
Census in the 1940 Census of Forest Products; 95.5 percent in
1939; 90.7 percent in 1938, and 88. S percent in 1937. The annual
ratio was applgcd to reported production for each month of the
year in raising the data to industry totals, resulting in an apparent distortion in the December-January trends for 1938-39 and
1939-40.
Monthly data for 1934-37 for all sulphite and groundwood series
and for sulphate production are available in the 1940 and 1938
SUPPLEMENTS. Monthly data for 1936-37 for sulphate stocks and
soda pulp production are also available in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT
and reported soda pulp stocks for 1934-35, comparable with data
shown here, are in the 1938 SUPPLEMENT. Soda pulp stocks as
shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT are raised figures* Monthly data

Data are compiled by the American Paper and Pulp Association
with the exception of the series on total paper, including newsprint and paperboard, which is computed by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce by adding to the
data on total paper excluding newsprint and paperboard compiled
by the American Paper and Pulp Association, the newsprint production data furnished by the Newsprint Service Bureau, shown on
p. 152 of this SUPPLEMENT, and paperboard production compiled by
the National Paperboard Association, also shown on p. 152.
Data for total paper, excluding newsprint and paperboard, represent the total of Groups A-E as reported by the American Paper and Pulp Association in its monthly bulletin entitled "Monthly Statistical Summary. " Data for Group A (printing papers),
Group B (fine papers), and Group C (wrapping papers) are shown
herein on p. 150. Data for printing papers include ground wood
printing and specialty papers (which represent about 25 percent
of the total of this group) covering hanging, catalog, novel news
and news tablet, poster and lining, rotogravure, and other
groundwood papers; and book papers (about 75 percent of the group
total) including machine-finished( sized and superealendared paper, converting paper, lithograph, offset and other book paper.
Fine papers include writing, cover, and text papers, including
all rag content papers, sulphite bond and other chemical wood
pulp writing papers; writing paper represents over 90 percent of
the group. Wrapping paper includes unbleached sulphite and semibleached sulphate, bleached sulphite and bleached sulphate, wrapping and envelope manila, greaseproof and glassine, machine-finished and machine-glazed kraft wrapping papers, and mill wrappers. The Association's Groups D and E are not shown in the SURVEY. Group D includes bristol board, binders board, fiberboard,
leatherboard, press board, tag board, light manila and pattern
board. Group E covers tissue paper, including high-grade tissue,
waxing, wrapping, toweling, toilet, napkin, pattern, salesbook,
carpet twisting, and other tissue, absorbent paper, blotting,
filter matrix and vulcanizing fiber, and bogus and screenings.
Comparisons with data from Census of Manufactures and Census
of Forest Products indicate that the series for total paper, including newsprint and paperboard, represent 90 percent of the
Census total for 1936, 89 percent for 1937, 87 percent for 1938
and 1939, and 86 percent for 1940.
Printing paper data shown
here represent about 85 percent of the Census totals for 193740; no comparable Census data are available for earlier years.
For fine paper, the coverage according to Census data was around
75 percent in 1934-36; 78 percent in 1937; 82 percent in 1938;
79 percent in 1939; and 80 percent in 1940. Wrapping paper coverage in 1934 was about 89 percent; in 1935, 8J»percent; 1936,

Compiled by the Book Paper Manufacturers Association, Data
represent operations in mills of 44 to 57 companies (48 companies
in 1941) manufacturing uncoated paper and from 13 to 18 companies
(15 for 1941) producing coated paper. According to estimates of
the Association,, the mills reporting for 1941 cover about 88 percent Of the industry for uncoated paper and 81 percent for coated
paper.
Production, orders, and shipments shown here expressed as a
percentage of standard capacity of the reporting mills have been
substituted for the tonnage figures shown in earlier SUPPLEMENTS,
as variations in the number of mills reporting each month seriously affect the comparability of the tonnage figures but are not
thought to similarly distort the trends indicated by the ratios.
The standard capacity for each company used in computing the ratios represents the largest production of book paper by that company in any three consecutive months* operations during the preceding five years. The capacity figures are revised semi-annually
but for only a few companies will there be revisions during
each six months,
The following indexes of changes in total
standard capacity for 15 identical companies for coated paper
and 44 identical companies for uncoated paper, relative to capacity for the first half of 1938 as 100, indicate the extent
to which the percentages of capacity have been affected by changes in the base:

Statistics, and are averages of weekly prices. Beginning January 1935, prices are for uncoated book, "B" grade, English finish, white, f. o. b, mill. Earlier figures shown in italics were
for paper, book, cased, machine finished, f. o. b. mill*
Monthly data for 1936-37 appear in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT.
The
price for January-November 1935 was 5.35 and for December 5.25
on the present basis.. Data for 1935 on the old basis were 5.30
for every month in the year. Monthly data for years prior to
1935 on the old basis are available on request.

Exports are from the department of Trade and Commerce, Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Other data are compiled by the Newsprint Service Bureau. Data on production, shipments, and mill
stocks are for practically the entire industry. Through December
1935, shipments represent only paper moved in a given month, and
stocks are for tonnage at the mills. Beginning January 1936,
shipments include all invoices whether or not movement has occurred, and stocks include supplies in destination warehouses.
Included in the monthly averages for some years are small quantities of paper referred to by the Bureau as "year-end adjustments. " Earlier monthly data shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS are correct except for minor revisions.

Compiled by the American Newspaper Publishers Association,
based on reports from 421 newspapers for 1940 and 1941; 431 newspapers for 1935-39; 434 for 1930-34; 445 for 1927-29; and 422
for 1923-26. According to the Association, consumption by these
publishers accounts for approximately 77 percent of all newsprint
consumed after 1937, 80 percent for the period 1927-36, and about
60 percent for the earlier years.
Monthly data for 1936-37 are shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT;
earlier monthly data for consumption are available in table 6,
p. 10, of the March 1940 SURVEY and for stocks, in table 74, p.
20, of the September 1938 SURVEY. Stock data for 1926 and 1930
shown in the latter issue are erroneously described as for 422
and 445 newspapers, respectively; actually the 1926 figures are
for 445 newspapers, comparable with the data for 1927 and later
years shown here, and the 1930 figures are for 434; monthly stock
data for 1926 for 422 newspapers, corresponding to the 1926 average shown here and to the consumption data, are available on request.
The comparability between the series for the 431 publishers
reporting for 1935-39 and the 421 publishers reporting after 1939
is not affected; the difference between the two series amounts
to less than 0.2 percent.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and Bureau of the
Census subsequently.
Prior to January 1934, the data are for
general imports; thereafter, imports for consumption. Prior to
September 1, 1916, imports include only paper valued at not
above 2.5 cents per pound; from September 1, 1916, to April 24,
1920, not above 5 cents per pound; since then, not above 8 cents
per pound. The publication of foreign trade statistics has been
discontinued for the duration of the war. Monthly data prior to
1938 appear in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. Revisions are as follows: Year 1931—April, 175,516 short tons;
June, 190,919.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, The grade of paper for which the price is quoted is
known as grade 32, or 32-pound-weight paper, and is by far more
portant than all other grades combined. The prices of other
grades fluctuate in proportion to this grade, bearing at all
times a constant differential between grades. The price as published is on a New York-basis. Monthly data for 1926-37 are

Data on production, shipments, and mill stocks of newsprint
in the United States prior to June 1923 are from the Federal
Trade Commission and siince then, from the Newsprint Service Bureau. The figures cover practically the entire industry, according to the Census of Manufactures. Included in the monthly
averages for some years are small quantities of paper referred to
by the Bureau as "year-end adjustments. " Beginning January 1936
shipments include all tonnage invoiced to customers whether
moved or not and stocks include all tonnage at mill or destination warehouses not yet invoiced to customers.

Based on weekly data compiled by the National Paperboard
Association from reports of member companies representing at
present approximately 82 percent of the industry. The d&ta are
advanced to 100 percent on the basis of annual reports obtained
by the Association from all mills known to be producing paperboard. The monthly figures shown for orders and production represent calendar month totals computed by the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce from the weekly data by prorating figures
for weeks falling in two months. Figures for percent of capacity are averages of weekly percentages for 4- and 5-week periods,
weeks ended on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of the month being Included in the average for the preceding month as in the Association's
4- and 5-week period reports. Unfilled orders are as of the end
of the 4- and S-week periods covered by the percentages. The
data cover all production of paperboard machines, including all
boards used by fabricators of corrugated and solid fiber shipping
cases, which in some instances, fall as low as 0 0 8 or 0^009 of
.0
an inch in thickness, and boards used for folding and set-up
boxes and specialties. Building boards are included only to the
extent that they are produced on the paperboard machine. The
data shown here differ from the figures shown in earlier SUPPLEMENTS, compiled by the Bureau o.f the Census, which were limited
to boards 0.012 of an inch and over in thickness.
Monthly figures for 1936-37 are available on request.
" Compiled by the V. S. Department of Comner.ce, Bureau of the
Census, from data furnished by the National Paperboard Association from reports of members, and by manufacturers of paperboard
reporting direct to the Bureau of the Census. There ivere 85
manufacturers reporting through 1937, 89 for 1938-39, 83 for
1940, and 85 or 86 for 1941.
It is believed that the coverage
for the paperboard industry is nearly complete. The consumption
of waste paper shown here for 1939 represented 79 percent of the
total quantity of waste paper consumed in the paper industry as
reported in the 1939 Census of Manufactures. Monthly data for
1933-37 are shown in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the Publishers' Weekly and are based on She reports of more than 700 publishers. In order to assure as complete a coverage as possible, the records of the compilers are
checked against book reviews and notices, and also against the
card index of the Library of Congress, Only books are included;
pamphlets, theses, and reports are excluded. Reprints aire also
excluded, unless they aire new editions. Earlier monthly figures
are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Reported by the Specialty Accounting Supply Manufacturers
Association on the basis of reports from 24 members, or all the
important manufacturers of such products. The statistics are
stated to represent about 95 percent of the industry beginning
in 1935, and from 80 to 90 percent in earlier years,
Data cover continuously printed and folded forms, such as invoices, bills of lading, etc*, used by railroads, steamship lines,
banks, and commercial concerns.
Monthly data for earlier years are shown in the 1940, 1938,
1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Data are reported by the Specialty Accounting Supply Manufacturers Association, covering 13 manufacturers for 1935-40 and 11
for 1941, the reduction resulting from the consolidation of reports of 3 of the associated companies. The data are estimated
by the Association to represent at the present time about 75 percent of all sales books sold in the United States, and in the
1935-39 period, approximately 90 percent, the decline in coverage
resulting from increased sales by non-members. The sale:? books
included are duplicate, triplicate, or quadruplicate books used
by retail stores in recording sales; ail sizes and styles are

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Data are weighted average prices as of the ISth of
the month for Pennsylvania anthracite, white ash chestnut, for
household use, in 25 cities. The weights used are based upon the
distribution by rail, or rail and tidewater, to each city during
the 12-month period from August 1, 1935, to July 31, 1936,
Data have been collected monthly from January 1929 through
June 1935, and September 1940 to date. Quarterly data were collected as of the 15th of the mointh for October 1935, January,
April, and July 1936; thereafter the period for pricing was
shifted to March, June, September, and December, For monthly
data for 1929-37, see the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and table 10, p. 20,
of the February 1937 SURVEY.

Data represent the output of Pennsylvania anthracite
only; the small amount of anthracite mined outside of Pennsylvania is included with bituminous-coal production. Figures are
derived from weekly data on carlosdings of anthracite as reported
by the Association of American Railroads, prorated to a monthly
basis. Annually, a census is taken of mine operators, and the
monthly data are then adjusted to the reported total. Figures
include coal loaded at mines for shipment (breakers, washeries,
dredges) including shipments by truck from authorized operations,
coal used at collieries for power and heat, and coal sold to
local trade and used by employees. Illicit operations are not
included. Data for 1941 are preliminary. Monthly figures beginning 1923 given in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are
correct as shown except for minor revisions in the data for 1931,

Compiled by the Anthracite Committee of the Department of
Commerce of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania beginning June 1941;
by the Anthracite Institute from the middle of 1932 through May
1941; and by the Anthracite Bureau of Information prior to the
middle of 1932,
Data represent primarily coal in producers'
storage yards. Excluded is coal on cars at breaker sidings, enroute, at piers, and in boats at piers. Data cover domestic
sizes of coal (broken, egg, stove, chestnut, and pea) and run-ofmine and its various steam coal derivatives. Variations in the
size and homogeneity of the sample affect the strict comparability of the series* Thus, data on broken coal have been included
intermittently since the beginning of compilation, but they represent less than one-tenth of one percent of the total; also,
the storage coal of the Hudson Coal Co. is excluded from September 1921 through July 1925,
Of more importance, data prior to
August 1934 (shown in italics) include only the quantity of coal
in the storage yards of the larger line -companies and a small
amount put on the ground by some of the. larger individual companies; subsequently, they were changed to include coal in cars
on railroad sidings, and coal sold to retailers or wholesalers,
but held at the mine awaiting orders for shipment. As a result
of this change, the figures for August and September 1934 (the
only months for which overlapping data were available) were increased 8.6 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively.
According to the Institute, data include reports of companies
representing 91.4 percent of the entire industry from May 1936
through August 1*937, 92.6 percent from September 1937 through
March 1939, 94 percent from April 1939 through September 1939,

Compiled by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bituminous
Coal Division, from reports of a representative group of retail
dealers. Total deliveries reported are divided by the number of
working days to yield the daily rate. Total stocks at the end of
the month are then divided by this daily rate to obtain a figure
representative of the number of days' supply at the current rate
of consumption, Consecutive monthly data are not available prior
to January 1934.
Averages cover 1 month in 1918 and 1919; 3
months in 1920; 4 months in 1921; 5 months in 1922, 1925, and
1932; 2 months in 1924; 8 months in 1923, 1926-31, and 1933; and
12 months thereafter. Monthly data prior to 1938 are correct as
shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.

Reported by the V. S. Department of the Interior, Bituminous
Coal Division, The total series are based on data collected by
the Bituminous Coal Division and by several other agencies, as
specified in notes 8-11 for this page and notes 2 and 3 for page
154. About 75 percent of total consumption for ail purposes and
of total stocks are accounted for by actual monthly reports. The
balance represents estimated allowances for other industrial consumption and stocks not accounted for in the specific classifications given in the tables, and the distribution through retail
yards and stocks in those yards not covered by reports. "Other
industrial consumption" and "other industrial stocks" as given
in this volume are based upon a sample of 2,000 manufacturing
plants (see note 2 for p. 154).
Industrial consumption and retail dealer deliveries represent
over 95 percent of total consumption as calculated annually by
the Bureau of Mines from production, imports, exports, and
changes in stocks. In recent years industrial consumption alone
has represented around 80 percent of the total consumption,
though this percentage varies somewhat, mainly in reflection of
changing business conditions and variations in the weather.
Monthly data for 1936-37 for all series except "total industrial consumption and retail deliveries" are shown in the 1940
SUPPLEMENT. Data for "total industrial consumption" shown in
earlier SUPPLEMENTS have been revised; data beginning 1933 for
this series and for "total industrial consumption and retail
deliveries" are available on request. Available monthly data
for years prior to 1936 for total industrial and retail dealers
stocks are shown in the 1938, 1936, and *932 SUPPLEMENTS; the
monthly averages for the period 1918-31 shown for this item in
the 1940 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS have been omitted in this issue,
since they were based on varying months for the different years
and were, therefore, not comparable.

Consumption by electric power utilities and stocks held are
collected by the Federal Power Commission (prior to July 1936,
by the (/. S. Geological Survey"), The data represent bituminous
coal consumed and held by privately and municipally owned electric utilities, Bureau of Reclamation plants, miscellaneous
Federal, State, and other public projects, plants operated by
electric railways and railroads, and manufacturing plants generating electricity for sale. For monthly data beginning September
1932, see the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS.

Consumption by Class I railways is based on the average
daily consumption of coal as reported by the Association of American Railroads to the U. S. Department of the Interior, Bituminous Coal Division. Data relating to stocks held by Class I
railways are reported by the same source. Data represent the
consumption for all purposes, including road train service, yard
switching service, shops, etc. Data for switching and terminal
companies are not included. Monthly data beginning 1933 are in
the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS. Data published in the

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Retail prices are computed by taking a simple average of quotations based on the cash-delivered price of 1-ton lots
of the grades and sizes of coal which predominate in sales to
household users in each city. The number of cities covered increased from 27 in 1913 to 45 in 1920, then decreased to 38 cities for the period 1923 to March 1940.
From June-October 1940,
37 cities reported; in November, 36 and since December 1940, 35
cities. From 1913 through 1919, retail prices are averages for
January 15 and July 15 only; from June 1920 through August 1935,
and Septetriber 1940 to date prices have been collected as of the
15th of each month; from August 1935 to September 1940 they were
collected quarterly.
Monthly data for 1923-37 are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936,

Compiled by.the U. S. Department of Labor; Bureau of Labor
Statistics, The wholesale price of mine-run bituminous coal is
an average based on prices reported by about 26 firms, on tracks,
destination. Although the number of reporting firms has not been
constant throughout the period covered, the slight variation has
not seriously affected the comparability of the statistics, The
prepared sizes composite is an average of prices reported by 22
firms, on tracks, destination. Monthly data for 1923-37 in the
1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are correct as shown except the mine-run composite for February 1928 which should be
$4.097 per short ton.

Compiled by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bituminous
Coal Division, The monthly figures as originally compiled and
reported in the SURVEY are estimates based upon daily and weekly
statements of cars of coal and beehive coke loaded by the principal railroads and of shipments over the more important originating rivers, supplemented by direct reports from a number of mining companies, local coal operators* associations, and detailed
monthly production statistics compiled by the State Mine Departments of Colorado, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington, and
West Virginia. These estimates are later revised to agree with
the results of the annual statistical reports from the coal producers. Data include lignite and anthracite mined outside of
Pennsylvania and coal used at collieries for power and heat and
coal made into coke at the mines.
In recent years the output
of small trucking mines producing less than 1,000 tons a year is
excluded. Figures also exclude the production of illicit coal.
Data for 1941 are preliminary. Monthly data prior to 1938 are

Compiled by the U. S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Mines. Data are based on reports from plants accounting for
practically the entire output of coke (exclusive of screenings),
except gas*house coke and coke made from coal*tar pitch, and include data from public utility plants having coke ovens and coal
gas retorts. The coke trade is concerned primarily with beehive
and byproduct-oven coke, since only such coke is adapted to
blast-furnace and foundry uses, which consume the bulk of all
coke produced. Data on petroleum coke, the residue from the
petroleum refining process, are also given here, since thisi product has some importance as a petroleum refinery fuel, and as
a household fuel.
Data relating to stocks at plants are here restricted to byproduct and petroleum coke, since beehive plants as a rule carry
but small stocks. Stocks of byproduct coke at furnaces refer
to stocks held by furnace plants, which are defined by the Bureau of Mines as those plants whose main business is the production of furnace coke which has an assured outlet either through
financial affiliation with or direct ownership by an ironworks, or
through long-time contracts. Merchant plants, as the n^me implies, refer to those plants producing coke for sale. Included
are a few plants affiliated with local iron furnaces which produce more coke than the furnaces can absorb and which therefore
sell in competitive markets; plants affiliated with alkali works;
low-temperature carbonization plants; and a number of plants,
though constructed primarily to supply city gas, which must dispose of their coke in the usual trade channels.
Earlier data are available as follows: For production of beehive and byproduct coke and petroleum coke, also stocks of petroleum coke, beginning 1923, see the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932
SUPPLEMENTS; for beehive and byproduct coke, data for 1927 and

tank farms and in pipe lines, east of California, are correct as
shown in the 1936 and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS (data for 1923 as shown
in the latter volume have been revised). Stock figures beginning

through 1933 and imports for consumption thereafter. Prior to
February 1923 import figures include some topped oil. Topped
crude petroleum is the residual product after the removal by distillation (or other means) of an appreciable quantity of the more
volatile components of crude petroleum. Monthly data for imports
for 1923-37 are available in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932

unfinished oils and unfinished gasoline. Production data represent oil transported from producing properties, plus that [remaining on properties and consumed on leases. Refinery operations
are based on the ratio of the daily average crude runs to stills
to the total rated capacity of refineries per day. Stocks of
refinable crude petroleum represent stocks of light crude oil
(specific gravity of 20° and above). Data prior to W33 for

export data used differ from those shown here for the items separately since the former include shipments to noncontiguous territories. No breakdown between residual fuel oil and gas and distillate fuel oil is available prior to 1935. The comparability of
the series is affected slightly beginning 1939 by the inclusion of
net transfer^ of crude oil east of California and by the change in
method of computing stocks (see note 20 for this page).

Compiled by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Data represent the consumption of fuel oil by locomotives in road train
service of Class I steam railways, not including that used in
yard switching service. Figures do not include consumption of
gasoline by motor car trains or of diesel fuel by either locomotives or motor car trains. Such consumption, however, is relatively small, amounting to about 2 percent of the railroads' total consumption of various fuel oils. Data .for switching and
terminal companies are shown in the original reports beginning
1937; these data are not included in the figures shown here.
Monthly data beginning 1923 are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936,

finished light products. Benzol is also included beginning July
1917 when this item was first reported in export statistics*
Beginning with January 1941, exports of mineral spirits are included since that item was no longer reported separately; its inclusion affects the comparability of the series to a negligible
extent.

1930-37). Beginning 1938 heavy crude in California has been reported separately and is shown herein on p. 156. No separation
between residual fuel oil and gas oil and distillate fuel is
available for 1917-29. The comparability of the data is materially affected between 1938 and 1933 by the inclusion of bulk
terminal stocks east of California beginning with January of the
latter year (see note 20 for this page).
Monthly data for gas oil and distillate fuel oil for 1932-37

Computed by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce and the Rubber Manufacturers Association, Inc. The Association reports monthly consumption based
on reports from both member and nonmember companies. The reported figures have been raised to industry totals as indicated by
data from the Census of Manufactures prior to 1926 and by annual
surveys of the rubber industry made by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce thereafter. Since May 1938, the data have been
raised currently by the Association on the basis of the coverage
indicated by the survey for the preceding year. The figures are
subsequently revised when data from the survey for the year concerned become available.
The first survey was made by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce in 1926* The figures obtained in the annual surveys
are consistently slightly larger than those reported in the Census of Manufactures partly because they cover consumption by all
rubber users, whereas the Census figures cover consumption only
by concerns classified by that Bureau as rubber manufacturing
industries. No survey was made by the Bureau for 1941.
The percent coverage of the monthly data reported to the Association, based on totals obtained by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce or the Census of Manufactures, has been as follows:
1925, 90.7; 1926, 90.0; 1927, 89.5; 1928, 90.9; 1929,
90.5; 1930,91.2; 1931, 90.4; 1932( 85.5; 1933, 85.6; 1934, 89.2;
1935, 89.7; 1936, 93.5; 1937, 93.9; 1938, 94.1; 1939, 97.6; 1940,
95.4. The method of raising the reported data to industry totals
and the distortion of the year-end changes which may sometimes
result are discussed below.
Included in total rubber consumption are all grades of rubber,
but excluded are gutta-balata, gutta-percha, gutta-siack, and
gut ta-j elutong-pontianak.
Monthly data for 1934-37 are shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS; monthly data shown in the 1936 SUPPLEMENT have been revised. Earlier monthly data shown in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT are reported data and have not been raised to industry totals; data
prior to 1934 raised to industry totals are available on request.
Publication of data beginning November 1941 has been discontinued
for the duration of the war.
Raising sample data to industry totals—Where there is no indication that the coverage of the reporting sample changed
throughout the year, the reported data are raised by the use of
an identical multiplying factor for each month of the year, i.e.,
the ratio of the total of the reported monthly figures to the
industry total as shown by Census data or the annual surveys of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. In those instances
where the estimated coverage is stated to have changed during the
course of the year, the monthly data are'first raised on the
basis of the estimated coverage and the raised data are then
further adjusted to the census returns or annual surveys. This
method of adjusting data to industry totals may result in some
distortion of the year-end changes when the coverage of the reported data varies from year to year, although the distortion is
generally in the degree of the December-January changes rather
than the direction of the change. This method was used in connection with the data on total crude rubber consumption, consumption in the manufacture of tires and tubes, consumption, production, and stocks of reclaimed rubber, and consumption of fabrics
in the manufacture of tires and tubes*
2
Computed by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of foreign and Domestic Commerce, from data reported by the Rubber
Manufacturers Association, Inc. Data represent the estimated
consumption of crude rubber in pneumatic casings, inner tubes,
solid and cushion tires (including industrial pneumatic and solid
truck, tractor,, and trailer tires), except bicycle, motorcycle,
airplane, farm tractor, and farm implement tires and tubes.
The Rubber Manufacturers Association reports actual consumption
data for those companies which report to it. For the period
shown the number of reporting companies has varied from 21 to 64.
The reported data for the period prior to 1926 and since 1933
have been raised to estimated industry totals on the basis of
the Association's estimates of their coverage of production data
for pneumatic casings which are believed to be as accurate as can
be obtained.
(For the method used in raising data, see note 1
for this page.) As information for census years is obtained, the
Association adjusts its coverage if necessary. The estimated
percent coverage for the data on production of pneumatic casings
has been used for the series on consumption since the relationship between the consumption of crude rubber for tires and tubes
and the production of pneumatic casings remains fairly constant.
Data for 1926 through 1933 have been raised to industry totals
as shown by the Census of Manufactures for census years and to
interpolated totals in intervening years.

Beginning January 1939 data are from the Statistical Bulletin

net shipments of crude rubber from Malaya (including Brunei and
Labnan and rubber from the free stocks in Singapore and Penang),
Netherlands Indies, North Borneo, Sarawak, French Indochina,
Philippines and Oceania, Nigeria (including British Cameroon),
other Africa, South America (Amazon Valley plus an estimated
allowance for other parts of South and Central America, excluding
guayule rubber) and Mexican guayule; and domestic exports from
Ceylon, India, Burma, Thailand, and Liberia. Earlier data for
1925 through 1938 were compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce and represent practically all net exports for the above
territories. Data prior to 1925 are from the World's Rubber Position published by W. H. Rickinson & Son (London). The agreement between figures from the three sources for overlapping periods has been close enough so that the data are regarded as comparable.
Monthly data for 1934-37 are shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS. Earlier data have been revised and are available on request. Data beginning November 1941 are not available.

principal groups being the manufacturers of the United Kingdom
and stocks held in the Netherlands Indies.
The exclusion of
these stocks does not affect the value of the series as an indicator of the trend of rubber stocks. Data for the period 1919-25
were compiled by W. H, Rickinson & Son and include stocks for
London, Liverpool, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Para, and United States,
and rubber afloat and also, for 1923-25, stocks at Singapore and
Penang. Although not entirely comparable with later data they
constitute the most representative data available for the period
and may be used in connection with later figures*

beginning 1936 and are estimated by adding to a given month's
world shipments one-third of the world shipments in the preceding
month, with adjustment since August 1939 to allow for the increase in the length of the voyage owing to war conditions. From
August 1930 through December 1935 figures were similarly computed
by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, From January 1926 through July 1930, they were
computed by adding to United States stocks afloat the quantity
afloat for Europe, as estimated by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Prior to 1926 the data are as shown in the
World's Rubber Position, published by W. H. Rickinson & Son.
These figures are not strictly comparable with the present series, but constitute the most representative data available for
the period.

37 manufacturers (originally 42 manufacturers, 5 having gone
out of business or merged with other companies) which, since the
inauguration of the series in 1934, have accounted for practically the entire output of the industry, according to the Census
of Manufactures, The original reports include a breakdown of
production and stocks by type of container similar to the data
shown here for shipments only. The total shipments include data
for milk bottles, pressed ware, and fruit jars made by the West
Coast group of manufacturers, which are not shown in the individual classifications. Other classifications include data for
the West Coast group. The principal types of containers included in the various classifications are as follows: (1) Narrow

vinegar, salad dressing; (2) wide mouth food—(packers' ware)
candies, jams, mayonnaise, meats, mustard, olives, peanut butter,
pickles, spaghetti; (3) pressed ware—food containers same as
(1) and (2) excluding domestic jelly glasses; (4) pressure and
non-pressure ware—primarily nonalcoholic carbonated beverages,
noncarbonated soft drinks, chocolate milk; (5) beer bottles —
beer, ale, and other alcoholic carbonated cereal beverages; (6)
liquor ware—alcoholic beverages except carbonated cereal beverages; (7) medicinal and toilet—all containers for pharmaceutical and toilet purposes except where otherwise specified; (8)

for shipments by type of container, see table 49, pp. 16 and 17,
of the January 1940 SURVEY. Data back to September 1925 for a
smaller number of firms were shown in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT and
in the monthly issues through February 1935. For these firms
1933 shipments totaled 23,512 gross. The earlier monthly figures, however, have a downward bias.
The rate of operations represents the relationship between
monthly production in terms of gross of bottles, and monthly
capacity. The capacity is determined from a periodic survey of
the square footage melting area of active furnaces. The aggregate melting area is converted to a poundage basis on the assumption that 8 square feet of melting area yield one ton of packed

glass in 24 hours; an annual capacity year is then computed by
multiplying by 280 days which provides an allowance for Sundays
and holidays, and a reasonable period for tank repairs and down
time. A daily average poundage capacity is computed from the
annual capacity by dividing by 308 days, or 309 for leap year.
(Only Sundays and holidays are considered in computing the daily
average, since the down time and repairs are assumed to be
spread over the whole year.) This daily average is multiplied
by the number of working days in each month to compute capacity
for the month. To convert poundage to gross of bottles, the
average weight per gross in the preceding year is used.

Compiled by the Plats Glass Manufacturers of America from
the reports of its members, and in some years, the reports of
nonmembers. Data through 1935 cover practically all of tha industry, although reports prior to 1925 were not entirely complete. Subsequent to 193S, certain nonmember companies did not
report on a monthly basis. Annual estimates of production made
by the compiling agency indicate that firms included here represent approximately 9 . percent of the total production of pol89

in 1938; 91.1 percent in 1939; 89.7 percent in 1940; and 92.5
percent of total production in 1941, This percentage does not
remain constant through the year but fluctuates with varying
production schedules of nonreporting firms. Data shown here
have not been adjusted to the estimated industry totals. Monthly data back to 1923 shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936» and 1932

Compiled by the V. S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of
JfJnes, except imports which are compiled by the U. S. Department
of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through
April 1941 and Bureau of the Census thereafter. The Bureau of
Mines data are based on quarterly and annual reports covering
all primary gypsum producing and processing companies. Data on
crude gypsum, which exclude byproduct gypsum, and on calcined
gypsum (including production from domestic, imported, and beginning with 1938, byproduct crude) are from quarterly reports
251
beginning 1930 and annual reports for 1928 and 1929.
For crude
gypsum the data cover 99 percent of the industry beginning 1935,
and 9 ( to 98 percent for earlier years, except 1933 when the
6
coverage was 93 percent and in 1928 and 1929 when coverage was
complete. For calcined gypsum, data represent complete coverage
beginning 1938 and 98 to 99 percent for earlier years.
Data on gypsum products beginning 1938 are based on quarterly
reports covering total sales of calcined products and 96 to 98
percent of sales of uncalcined products. The quarterly averages
for 1928 through 1937 are computed from annual totals that represent complete coverage of the market for uncalcined and calcined gypsum products. Sales by processing companies that use
byproduct crude or that do not mine or calcine gypsum are included for all years (these data were formerly included only beginning 1937), and adjustments made for changes in the classifications used in the different canvasses to make statistics for
the earlier years comparable with data currently reported. Data
for 1928 through 1931 for uncaicined products and the breakdown
between lath, tile, and wallboard for 1928 through 1936 were
partly estimated.
Uncalcined gypsum products include Portland-cement retarder,
agricultural gypsum, gypsum for use as filler and rock dust and
for minor purposes.
Industrial plasters include plasters sold
to plate-glass, terra-cotta, and pottery works and orthopedic,
dental, and all other plasters sold for industrial or manufacturing uses; building plasters include base-coat plasters, plasters sold to mixing plants, and ready-sanded, gaging, molding,
prepared finishing, and miscellaneous building plasters. Wallboard includes sheathing and all other gypsum board.
Available quarterly figures for 1933 to 1937 are shown in the
1938 and 1940 SUPPLEMENTS. For gypsum produced, these data are
comparable with figures shown here; the descriptive note in the
1940 SUPPLEMENT explains the coverage and limitations of these
earlier quarterly data on gypsum products.
" Base-coat plasters are included with "all other building
plasters" for 1928-30.

Compiled by the National Association of Hosiery Manufacturers. The figures (which since the fall of 1935, are based on
the reports of non-members as well as members producing approximately 80 percent of all hosiery) have been raised to approximate 100 percent of the industry. During the existence of the
Hosiery Code Authority in the years 1934 and 1935, when reports
were received from 622 concerns operating 807 plants, the coverage obtained by actual reports ammounted to 98 percent of the
industry. In raising the reported data to industry totals, due
consideration has been given to companies which began operating
after July 1933, and to companies which have closed since that
time. The statistics on shipments from 1914 through June 1933
were estimated from the Census of Manufactures data as well as
from the monthly and annual summaries of the Bureau of the Census. Prior to 1927, these data include estimates for infants'
hosiery, athletic and golf hose, since data for these types were
not included in the government schedules. Stocks are computed
from month-to-month changes in production and shipments, and are
adjusted to semiannual surveys made by the association to allow
for inter-mill purchases, returned goods, etc. Included in the
association's reports are details for all series by type of hose.
Monthly data beginning 1934 are available in the 1940 and 1938
SUPPLEMENTS. Shipments for 1929-33 have been revised since publication in earlier SUPPLEMENTS, the changes resulting from revisions in the 1933 and 1935 Census figures which were used in
estimating the data.
These statistics are not comparable with the data shown in the
1932 SUPPLEMENT which were compiled by the Bureau of the Census
from the reports of 315 identical concerns which accounted for
72 percent of the total value of all hosiery, according to the
Census of Manufactures for 19292
Compiled by the U. S. (^Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, from reports received from all .raw cotton-consuming establishments. A bale is considered to be "consumed" when it is
opened at the mill. Earlier monthly data are available in the
1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. The monthly reports of
the Bureau of the Census show total consumption by cot ton-growing
States, New England States, and "all other" States, consumption
of foreign cotton (Egyptian and o t h e r
foreign) and

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and the Bureau
of the Census thereafter. Linters are included with cotton exports from January through August 1913, as separate data are not
available for that period; thereafter they are excluded. Exports
are given in detail by countries of destination, and imports by
countries of production.
Beginning with January 1934, imports
are imports for consumption, earlier figures are general imports.
The publication of data has been discontinued for the duration
of the war. Earlier monthly data are shown in the 1940, 1938,
1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
u
Compiled by the £/. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics (farm prices) and Agricultural Marketing
Administration (market prices). In computing the average price
received by farmers, state prices received by farmers for all
grades of lint cotton, as determined from reports of special price
reporters, are weighted by monthly sales in each State to obtain
a monthly average price for the United States beginning 1929;
prior to 1929, State prices are weighted by production in the
cotton-producing States. Beginning with January 1924, the prices
have been taken as of the 15th of the month; theretofore, prices
were reported on the 1st of the month and converted to the 15th
of the month by averaging prices reported on the 1st of 2 successive months. Annual figures shown here are averages of calendarmonth prices; reports of the Department of Agriculture give a
weighted crop-year average price, Earlier monthly data are found
in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS but figures shown
in the 1936 and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are weighted by production for
all years and differ from the revised series which are weighted
by sales; for earlier monthly data on the present basis, see
December 1937 issue of "Crops and Markets'* published by the Department of Agriculture.
The iO-market price represents the average spot price of middling 15/16-inch cotton beginning 1928 and 7/8-inch for 1916-27
in the following southern markets: Norfolk (except beginning
August 6, 1941, when Charleston was substituted for Norfolk),
Augusta, Savannah, Montgomery, New Orleans, Memphis, Little Rock,
Dallas, Houston, and Ga^veston. Prices for 1913-15 are for 7/8inch cotton in the New Orleans market only. The prices are computed from official daily quotations of cotton exchanges in the
designated markets. Beginning August 1939, prices are as quoted
on middling 15/16-inch. For August 1930-July 1939, the prices
were computed by adding the monthly average' premiums for 15/16inch to the average price of 7/8-inch in the 10 markets, premiums for 4 markets (Norfolk, Augusta, Savannah, and Montgomery)
being estimated; for January 1928 to July 1930, average premiums
for 15/16-inch in 6 markets were added to the average price of
7/8-inch in the 10 markets, Earlier prices are as quoted for
middling 7/8-inch in the 10 markets for 1916-27, and in the New
Orleans market for 1913-15. The difference between the New Orleans price and the 10-market average for the last 5 mqnths of
1915 (the earliest period for which the latter is available) was
only four-tenths of 1 pertent, the New Orleans price being the
higher. The 10-market average price of middling 7/8-inch for
1928, strictly comparable with data for 1916-27, is $0,1916.
Monthly data for 1913-3; are available on request.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, based on reports obtained from ginners. The Bureau of
the Census reports cumulative ginnings in running bales for 12
specified dates during th•» cotton year—July 31, August 15 and
31, September 15 and 30, Cctober 17 and 31, November 13 and 30,
December 12, January 15, and February 28, and total ginnings on
March 21. Total ginnings for the season are given in both running bales and equivalent 500-pound bales. The latter figures
are derived from reported ginnings in running bales.
In the
monthly reports the estimated total production in equivalent
500-pound bales is shown until the final March figure for total
ginnings is obtained. This figure is then converted into equivalent 500-pound bales. As the weight of the running bale varies
for different localities, as well as (to a lesser degree) from
year to year (see note 7 for this page), average bale weights
are obtained from local weighers, merchants, and other handlers
of cotton and used to convert total ginnings for each county in
the cotton-producing States to bales of uniform weight (500
pounds gross).
County totals are added for State and United
States totals.
Monthly figures shown herein are cumulative ginnings as of the
end of the month specified (except December 12 period, given
here as of the end of December, and the January 15 period, given
as of the end of January) for the cot ton-ginning season, the
March figure representing total ginnings from the crop grown in
the preceding year. For earlier data for selected reporting
dates, see the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
Annual figures represent total production or ginnings from the
crop grown in the year shown. Figures for earlier years back to
1899 and also county and State data are given in the original
reports of the Bureau of the Census. Figures for 1913 to 1922
include small amounts of Lower California and Mexican cotton
ginned in the United States.
6
Compiled by the New York Cotton Exchange. Total stock figures shown here include ginned stock in all hands, both private
and government controlled, and also, for dates in harvesting periods, the unpicked portions of the current crop. For stocks of
American cotton in mills and warehouses the Exchange uses figures compiled by the Bureau of the Census. Figures are in running bales, counting round as half bales, except foreign cotton
which has been converted to equivalent bales of 478 pounds net
weight. The total carry-over of cotton in the United States at
the end of the 1940-41 crop year amounted to 12,166,000 bales
(including 140,000 bales of foreign cotton), of which approximately 6,126,000 bales were owned by the Federal government and
354,000 were held by the government as collateral against loans
to growers.
The world total includes world stocks of foreign cotton not
shown separately; total stocks of foreign cotton have not been
reported since the outbreak of the war and stocks of American
cotton in foreign countries were reported only as of July 31 for
1940 and 1941. Figures for stocks on farms and in transit in the
United States have also been discontinued after November 1941,
in part because foreign trade statistics used in the computation
of these stocks are no longer published.
Earlier monthly data are shown in table 34, pp. 15-16, of the
August 1939 SURVEY. Monthly data for 1936 and 1937 are available
also in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT.
7
Production of lint cotton is expressed in both running bales
and equivalent 500-pound bales (gross weight), as indicated. All
other figures are in running bales, except imports which are
given in 500-pound bales (gross weight), and foreign cotton included in the world stock figures, which has been converted to
bales of 478 pounds net. Included in running bales of lint cotton
are round bales which are counted as half bales. The average
gross weight of the running bale fc^r recent crop years follows:
1938-39, 513.8 pounds; 1939-40, 514.6 pounds; 1940-41, 510,9
pounds. The average gross weight of bales of lint cotton exported for crop years ended July 31 was as follows: 1938-39, 527.9
pounds; 1939-40, 527.4 pounds; 1940-41, 528.0 pounds. Part of
the difference between these types is due to heavier wrappings
and bindings for export and to the fact that the larger portion
of export cotton comes from States in which bales average highest
in weight.

Compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census. Linters are the short fiber obtained by the cottonseedoil mills in delinting cottonseed. The quantity of linters obtained from a ton of cottonseed varies consic-erably. In recent
years, the average quantity obtained has increased from 154
pounds in the year ended July 31, 1939, to 160 pounds in 193940, and 171 pounds in 1940-41. Production data are based on
reports from all cottonseed-oil mills. It is probable that consumption figures include some motes, sweepings, etc., the production of which during the 1940-41 season amounted to 50,015
equivalent 500-pound bales. Data for stocks include stocks held
in consuming establishments, in public storage and at compresses,
and stocks at cottonseed-oil mills. Data do not include stocks
held in private warehouses or by private individuals, stocks held
at ports, and linters in transit. Data for the excluded items
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
are available only as of July 31, and are partially estimated.
Total stocks, including linters in transit, as of July 31 for recent years are as follows (in running bales): 1938, 864,859
bales; 1939, 949,961; 1940, 706,459; 1941, 787,398 bales.
Monthly data for consumption beginning January 1913 and for
production and stocks beginning August 1925 are available on request.

Compiled by the V. -S. Department of Commerce, Buresia of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and Bureau of
the Census thereafter. Exports comprise unbleached, bleached,
and colored cotton cloth, duck, and cotton tire fabric. In the
period 1935-41, exports of cotton cloth, duck, and tire fabric
accounted for approximately two-thirds of the value of exports
of all cotton finished manufactures and for a somewhat larger
proportion in earlier years. Prior to January 1922, the data
were reported in linear yards, but the difference between this
and the present measurements is small.
Monthly data for 1936 and 1937 are in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT.
Data published in earlier SUPPLEMENTS have been revised beginning
1927 to include tire fabrics and beginning January 1928 to include also heavy filter paper dryer, hose, and belting duck;
these items had been included in earlier data*
The revised
monthly figures beginning 1913 may be found in table 48, P- 17,
of the November 1939 SURVEY.
Imports .include unbleached, bleached, and printed, dyed, or
colored cotton cloth.
Data prior to January 1934 are general
imports; since that date, imports for consumption. Monthly data
beginning 1923 are available in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932
SUPPLEMENTS.

Compiled by the £/. S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural
Marketing Service, Mill margins represent the difference between
the price of cloth obtainable from a pound of cotton and the
price of cotton (includes processing tax for the period August
1933 to December 1935 amounting to about 4 cents per pound when
corrected to a gross weight basis). The cloth prices uiied in
computing the mill margin are for 17 standard constructions unfinished (not including irine cloth) in the New York market from
the International Textile Apparel Analysis. Unfinished (gray)
cloth is cloth that has not been bleached, dyed, or colored.
Price per yard has been converted to a price per pound on the
basis of approximate quantity of cloth obtainable from a pound
of cotton, with adjustment for salable waste. The quantity
varies according to the construction. The number of yards of
cloth to a pound for the 17 constructions used in the conf>utations ranges from 2.0 to 8.2; the yardage obtained from a pound
of cotton is somewhat smaller than these figures, the difference
representing the salable waste. Raw cotton prices are based on
average prices in 10 Spot markets (for the markets see note 4,, p.
16&) for the quality of cotton assumed to be used in each kind
of cloth. However, these prices are not necessarily the prices
paid by mills, for transportation and handling charges from central markets to manufacturing centers have not been included.
Monthly data beginning August 1925 are shown in table 51, p. 18
of the November 1939 SURVEY; monthly data for 1936 and 1937 are
available also in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT.

Compiled by the V. S, Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, and for all series are averages of weekly prices and
are f. o. b. mill. The complete specifications for the denims series are blue, white-backed, 28-inch, 2.2P yards per pound, tsrisanforized. The average price of sheeting (more exact descriptionsheeting, brown 4/4, 36-inch, 56 by 60, 4 yards to pound, unbleached, unmercerized) covers the period 1924 to date. Earlier prices used are 4/4 ware shoals, 1.1, 36-inch, 4 yards per pound,
New York, but the comparability of the series is not seriously affected. For print cloth, the average price is for the same item
for the full period (more exact description—print cloth, 38^inch, 64 by 60, 5.35 yards per pound, in the gray, carded yarn,
unbleached, unmercerized). Earlier monthly data for print cloth
and sheeting are corred: as shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and
1932 SUPPLEMENTS, excepl: for revisions of 1 to 2 cents in the
figures for print cloth for several months in the years 1926 to
1931.
Earlier monthly figures for the series on denims will
by published in a monthly SURVEY.

Compiled by the U. J5. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, from data furnished by the National Association of Finishers of Textile Fabrics. The original
data consist of reports on a 4-week basis from practically the
entire industry for 1934 through May 1935; from 97 identical
companies in 1935 and 1936 and 94 companies in 1937, which accounted for about 70 percent of the total output of the industry;
from 86 companies in 1938, 79 in 1939, and 75 in 1940, the
253
reporting companies representing about 66 percent of the total
output; and from 70 companies in 1941. Coverage data are based
on annual estimates by the Association of the total production
of finished cotton cloth; the estimate for 1941 is not yet available. For the series shown here, the original 4-week production
data for 1934 were adjusted to the revised annual estimates of
total production and comparable figures for 1935 and 1936 obtained by raising the sample data for 97 companies to industry
totals on the basis of the proportion of the revised annual total production of each class of finished cotton cloth represented
by the sample. No serious distortion, in the December 1934 to
January 1935 percentage changes for the four series resulted
from this procedure, as the changes shown by the adjusted figures were closely comparable with those occuring in the original
practically complete reports which were available through May
1935.
The figures for 1937 were raised in the same proportion
of those for 1936, as no important changes in reporting companies
were apparent. The adjusted 4-week figures were prorated to
calendar months. Production data subsequent to December 1937
were carried forward on the basis of year-to-year percentage
changes for identical mills.
Monthly data.1934-37 are found in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS.

Data are in running bales. The average gross weight of the
running bale, as computed from returns received from cottonseedoil mills, for recent years were 'as follows (years ended July

New Bedford and the Boston series in 1933, the first year for
which the latter is available.
Monthly data for 1936 and 1937 are in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT; earlier monthly date are available upon request.
** Compiled by the Textile Economics Bureau and published in
the Rayon Organon. Both the yarn and staple fiber series cover
production by all processes, acetate data being partially estimated. Reports are received from approximately 90 percent of
the industry and data have been raised to complete industry totals for the entire period covered. Data on consumption represent total deliveries or shipments of rayon filament yarn and
staple fiber to domestic consumers by American rayon producers
plus imports for consumption through September 1941; thereafter,
the data cover domestic deliveries only, as import data are no
longer available for inclusion. Imports of filament yarn have
been negligible in recent years and the importance of imports
of staple fiber has diminished. Consumption of rayon waste and
minor rayon products is not included.

1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
The stock data represent stocks of all finished rayon yarn
and staple fiber held by domestic producers and do not include
stocks held in bonded warehouses.
Monthly data on yarn consumption for 1923-37 and yarn stocks
for 1930-37 are available, respectively, In table 41, p. 16, of
the October 1940 SURVEY and table 22, p. 18, of the April 1940
issue. The staple fiber series are available only beginning
1936; monthly data for 1936 and 1937 are available on request.

Compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Rayon imports represent total yarns,
threads, and filaments. Silk imports are for unmanufactured
silk, comprising raw silk, cocoons, and waste. Beginning with
January 1934, imports are those for consumption; earlier figures
are general imports. The publication of data has been discontinued fc-r the duration of the war.
Monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936,
and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. Revisions in rayon imports: 1926, April,
739,000 pounds; May, 769,000; June, 858,000; December, 923,000;
1930, August, 225,000.

Data compiled by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics. The series for yarn replaces the rayon price
shown in earlier SUPPLEMENTS and is considered more representative of the development of finer filament yarns. The complete
description is as follows: Viscose filament yarn, ISO denier,
first quality, minimum filament, bleached, skeins. The minimum
filament at present is a 40-filament yarn. For earlier years
the minimum represented a lower number of filaments. Both the
yarn and staple fiber series are f. o. b, producer*s plant, minimum freight allowed to destination—and are computed from Tuesday prices reported by a trade organization, For monthly figures beginning 1913 for the yarn series, see table 30, p. 22, of
the November 1941 SURVEY. Earlier monthly data for the staple
fiber series are available on request.

Compiled by the National Rayon Weavers Association, from
reports made to that agency and to the National Federation of
Textiles by rayon broad goods weavers, and published in the
Rayon Organon. This series represents complete coverage, a small
amount of unreported inventory having been estimated. The data
cover rayon filament yarn held by rayon broad goods weavers in
mill warehouses or unopened cases, but exclusive of stocks in
process or in transit. Data are not available prior to December
1939.

Silk deliveries to mills, and stocks, total visible and
United States warehouses, compiled by the Commodity Exchange,
Inc. (Formerly the data were reported by the National Federation of* Textiles, Inc., and the Silk Association of America).
Deliveries to mills are obtained by adding to or subtracting
from imports during a given month the difference in the United
States stock position at the beginning and at the end of the
month. The figure thereby obtained includes reexports. Imports
used are those compiled by the exchange, and are based on ships*
manifests; imports received in New York are for the calendar
month, whereas for those received at Pacific ports an allowance
is made for the time required for the silk to reach New York
overland. United States warehouse stocks are those reported by
principal warehouses in New York and Hoboken, and include commodity exchange certified stocks and stocks at terminals. Total
visible stocks (p. 168) comprise stocks in New York and Hoboken
warehouses, in Japanese ports, and the estimated amount in transit between Japan and the United States at the end of the month.
Figures beginning with July 1930 have been revised to include
stocks weighed and awaiting shipment in the ports of Yokohama
and Kobe, Japan, and differ from those published in the 1936
SUPPLEMENT. Data on total visible supply were not available after June 1941 and the publication of United States data was discontinued after November, since all raw silk stocks were owned
by the Defense Supplies Corporation. Since July 1941 the statistics do not reflect the actual picture of either mill takings,
withdrawals from warehouse, or imports.
Monthly figures on deliveries and United States stocks for
1923-37 are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS.
Monthly data on the total visible supply for the period January 1923 to June 1930 are on p. 20, July 1936 SURVEY, and for
July 1930 through December 1935, on p. 20, February 1937 SURVEY;
monthly data for 1936-37 are in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT.

data for 1936 and 1937 on the old basis are 1.766 and 1.858,
respectively. Data are based on Tuesday prices.
Earlier monthly data on the old basis are shown in the 1940,

's Compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, based on schedules filed by manufacturers with the U. S.
Department of Agriculture through April 1922, and thereafter
with the Bureau of the Census. It is believed that these statistics are approximately complete through September 1920, and complete thereafter. Allowance has been made, after September 1920,
for consumption by the few manufacturers from whom schedules
were not received. Apparel-class wool comprises wool generally
regarded as more or less suitable for apparel purposes, whereas
carpet-class wool is foreign wool particularly suitable for the
manufacture of floor coverings. Beginning 1942 domestic and
duty-paid foreign wools are classified as apparel and all free
foreign wools are classified as carpet. Prior to 1942, foreign
wool not finer than 40*s used for knit or felt boots or heavyfulled lumbermen's socks, which is duty-free and was incompletely reported prior to September 1941, was included in the apparel
wool classification and a small quantity of duty-paid wool was
included in the carpet wool classification. The 1941 figures
shown here have been revised to include all duty-paid foreign
wool in apparel wool and all duty-free foreign wool in carpet
wool to have the classifications comparable with current data.
This revision did not materially affect the figures prior to
September 1941.
Data on the scoured basis are obtained by adding to scoured
wool reported as such, greasy wool reduced to the scoured basis,
assuming average yields varying with origin and grade, except
for carpet wool for which yields are reported. The original reports give monthly consumption as reported and on a scoured
basis by grade, origin, and system beginning with 1935; they
also give consumption on a "greasy shorn" basis, and on a "greasy
pulled" basis. The " scoured" basis figures reflect more accurately changes in wool consumption as the "greasy** basis figures
are affected by shifts to heavier shrinking wools which do not
affect the scoured.
Wool is considered consumed when it is carded or otherwise advanced beyond scouring or raw stock dyeing. Data are for calendar months through June 1934. From July 1934 through December
1935, the first 2 months in each quarter are 4-week periods,
and the third month a 5-week period. Starting in 1936, the reports were shifted to the 5-4-4-week basis with the exception of
December 1938 which was 5 weeks. No data were collected for the
week from December 28, 1941, to January 3, 1942; therefore for
1^42, January figures shown in the monthly SURVEY cover only 4
weeks instead of 5 as formerly. Monthly issues of "Rayon Organon, **published by the Textile Economics Bureau, Inc., present
the total consumption figures on a calendar-month basis for the
full period.
The monthly data have been adjusted to the Biennial Census of
Manufactures through 1937.
The data have not been adjusted to
the 1939 Census of Manufactures and figures beginning with 1938
are, therefore, subject to further revision.
Monthly data for apparel-class wool for 1932-37 are shown in
the 1940t 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS (1935 data revised); earlier monthly data appear in the July 1935 SURVEY, p. 20. Monthly data 1934-37 for carpet wool are in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS; earlier data are in the September 1935 Raw Wool Consumption report of the Bureau of the Census.

has been discontinued for the duration of the war.
1942 SUPPLEMENT-SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Monthly data prior to 1938 are shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936,
and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. Revisions for 1931: January, 13,747,000
pounds; March, 15,358,000; June, 16,812,000; July, 13,024,000.
The monthly average for 1913 and 1914 shown in the 1938 SUPPLEMENT has been revised.
tf
Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census. Allowance ha$ been made for machinery activity of the
few manufacturers from whom monthly schedules were not received.
In collecting the data, wool machinery was regarded as that machinery which was usually used to process wool and similar fibers, either alone or in combination with other textile fibers,
regardless of the product of the mill in which located. Under
the specific rules adopted in June 1934, hand or machinery used
exclusively for pattern-making, experimental, or educational
purposes was to be excluded, and looms were defined as follows:
woolen and worsted looms—all power looms, regardless of size,
which are usually used to produce fabrics, blankets, or woven
/ felts containing by weight more than 25 percent of woolen or
worsted-spun yarns; wool carpet and rug looms—all power looms
which are usually used to produce floor coverings from woolen or
worsted-spun yarns. It is believed that these definitions for
all practical purposes may be regarded as in effect throug;hout
the entire period covered by the data. Broad looms are those
of over 50** reed space and narrow looms are those 50" and under.
Woolen spindles and worsted combs owned by manufacturers using
no wool or similar fibers in any form are not included in these
data.
The data are based on calendar months through May 1934. Beginning with June 1934 they are based on monthly periods of
whole weeks, the June 1934 period covering 4 weeks. Thereafter
through December 1935 the data are by 4-4-5-week monthly periods
per quarter, and by 5-4-4*week monthly periods beginning 1936.
No data were collected for December 28, 1941-January 3, 1942,
inclusive; therefore for 1942, January figures shown in the monthly SURVEY cover a 4-we*ek period. In reducing active hours to a
weekly average no account was taken of holidays but a 5^-daywork
week was assumed through July 1933 and a 5-day work week thereafter.
The reports of the Bureau of the Census include details for
each kind of machinery for number in place and number active at
some time during the month, in addition to detailed data on active hours.
Monthly data for 1934-37 (except separate figures for broad and
narrow carpet and rug looms) appear in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS; the monthly averages have been revised slightly and are
Abased on revised annual totals. No monthly revisions were made.

Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, in cooperation with the National Wool Trade Association
and the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, and represents stocks of wool held by and afloat to between 95 and 99
percent of all dealers (including commission houses, pullers,
and cooperatives), topmakers, and manufacturers who usually hold
significant stocks of wool.
Stocks of greasy Australian wool
held by the Defense Supplies Corporation, which amounted to
66,374,S85 pounds on June 30, 1941 and 104,986,507 pounds on
September 30, 1941, are not included in these figures. Statistics do not include wool on ranches and farms and in local country warehouses, but the original reports from which these data
255
are taken give the Department of Agriculture* s estimates of such
holdings in the 13 western sheep States, Beginning June, 1941
certificated holdings of the Wool Association of the New York
Cotton Exchange, Inc., in licensed public warehouses are included
in the apparel-class total.
These have never amounted to more
than five-tenths of 1 percent of the total. Figures for March,
June, and September are as of the last Saturday in the month.
The "clean equivalent" basis (as used here) comprises scour,ed
wool plus greasy wool reduced to the scoured basis, assuming
average yields varying with origin, grade, and other factors.
In the reports the data are shown by grade, as well as by type
and origin, with similar figures for qarpet-class wool, tops,
and noils, all classified by dealers and manufacturers, together
with less detailed data on stocks, greasy pulled basis, and
greasy shorn basis. Quarterly data on apparel wool stocks for
June 1934-December 1937 are shown in the 1940 and 1938 SUPPLEMENTS. Quarterly data prior to 1938 for carpet wool stocks are

firm went out of business between 1938 and 1939), 22 for 1938,
and 20 for 1937, who comprise practically the entire industry.
The data include products manufactured by spreading nitrocellulose or pyroxylin preparations, either by themselves or in combination with other materials, upon gray goods, such as sheetings,
drills, ducks, sateens, and moleskins. The data on poundage of
pyroxylin spread are based on 1 pound of guncotton to 7 pounds
of solvent, making an 8-pound jelly. The data on unfilled
orders are exclusive of contracts with shipping dates unspecified. The reports of the Census Bureau include details for
light goods and heavy goods, value of shipments, and monthly

with no consideration given to date of production. From 1913-22
the data shown here are classified as airplanes by the original
source.
In 1923, a change in the classification to airplanes,
seaplanes, and other aircraft raised the total for the year from
46 to 48. Beginning January 1940 exports of landplanes minus
engines are included. Prior to 1940 these were not reported
separately, but were so small in number that their inclusion beginning with that year does not affect the comparability of the
series.

Computed by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce and Bureau of the Census, from dollar
figures on automobile financing compiled by the latter bureau,
shown in earlier SUPPLEMENTS and in monthly issues of the SURVEY
through March 1942,
Beginning January 1942 the Bureau of the
Census discontinued the dollar series and instituted a series of
indexes.
Indexes of the volume of retail passenger car1 financing were
computed by that bureau for January 1940 and January and December
1941 from the former dollar series on volume of automobile financing with the 1939 monthly average as a base. Indexes for
other months of 1940 and 1941 and earlier data were similarly
computed by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
The
original dollar figures beginning July 1933 were based on reports
of 456 identical automobile financing organizations (during 1934,
37 of these discontinued business and in 1939, 19 were either
taken over by reporting companies or discontinued business).
Earlier data were based on reports of 282 companies which were
linked to the data for 456 companies on the basis of the relationship between the two series for the period July 1933-June
1934. January 1942 indexes on a 1939 monthly average base were
obtained by the Bureau of the Census by linking to the indexes
for December 1941 the December-January percentage changes in
the volume of paper acquired as shown by reports of 222 sales
finance companies.
The January 1942 indexes, with the 1939
monthly averages as a base, comparable with earlier indexes shown
herein are as follows: Total, 47; new cars, 17; used cars, 84.
More recently the Bureau of the Census has expanded the reports
to cover other types of financing beginning January 1942 and has
placed all indexes of volume of financing on a January 1942 base.
The indexes of retail automobile financing on the new base, published currently in the monthly SURVEY, may be linked to the
series shown herein by applying the indexes to the January 1942
figures given above. The basic data prior to 1942 include retail
financing of commercial as well as passenger cars, whereas beginnirrg 1942 the indexes are based only on data for passenger cars.
However, the volume of retail commercial car financing is relatively small so that the trend of the series for passenger cars
is not materially affected.
The index of automobile receivables on a December 1939 base was
computed by the Bureau of the Census for December 1940 and 1941,
from data furnished by sales finance companies in a special report supplementing the monthly report for January 1942. Indexes
for January-November 1940 and 1941 were derived from the dollar
figures for 214 automobile financing organizations, formerly compiled by the Bureau, and were then adjusted to the December indexes based on the new data. Earlier indexes were computed by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce from data for the
214 organizations, which accounted for approximately 95 percent
of the total volume of retail automobile financing. Data for
1942 published currently in the monthly SURVEY are obtained by
the Bureau of the Census by calculating the month-to-month percentage change of outstanding balances as shown by matched schedules of sales finance companies and linking the percentage to
the index for the earlier month.
Since January 1942 indexes have been based on data for nearly
300 sales finance companies reporting automobile and diversified
financing.
Monthly data prior to 1938 may be obtained by converting the
dollar figures presented in table 11, p. 13, of the March 1940
SURVEY for retail financing and in table 33, p. 26, of the November 1941 SURVEY for receivables outstanding to an index base.
* Canadian production figures beginning 1925 have been supplied
to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, by the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Monthly data covering the period
January 1921 through December 1924 were compiled by the U. S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, in cooperation with
the Automobile Manufacturers Association, For these years figures for all chassis are included with the figures for passenger
cars. Subsequently, the division between passenger chassis and
truck chassis has been made. Earlier monthly data shown in the
1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS are correct except for some revisions in the December figures. These and earlier monthly data
are available on request.
The series for automobile production in the United States is
for factory sales which are commonly referred to as production.
Data, which currently cover the entire industry, are compiled
beginning 1921 by the £/. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
the Census, in cooperation with the Automobile Manufacturers
Association (formerly known as the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce). The statistics comprise the output of all members of
the Automobile Manufacturers Association as well as of certain
other manufacturers reporting directly to the Bureau of the Census.
Foreign assemblies from parts made in the United States and
reported as complete units or vehicles are included. The figures
for passenger cars include taxicabs, which were shown separately
in the SURVEY issues of August 1929 to May 1935. These data are
now shown in combination only, to avoid disclosure of individual
companies. The figures for trucks also include commercial cars,
road tractors, ambulances, funeral cars, fire apparatus, street
sweepers, busses, and other special purpose vehicles. Figures
through 1920 represent production as compiled on a monthly basis
by the Automobile Manufacturers Association from the reports of
principal producers covering close to 90 percent of the industry,
from quarterly reports of other member companies, and from annual
reports of small nonmember companies covering the balance of the
industry. The monthly distribution of sales for companies reporting on a quarterly or annual basis was assumed to be the
same as that for companies reporting each month.
Earlier monthly data for U. S. production appear in the 1940,
1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS. Monthly production figures
for 1921-38 for both United States and Canada are available in •

of members representing practically the entire industry. The
figures comprise passenger-car, truck, bus, motorcycle, tractor,
and airplane rims, approved and branded by the Association after
inspection, and are given in detail by kinds and sizes in the
association's reports. Included in the annual figures, but not
in the.monthly totals, are rims carried as "experimental" during
the year. This affects the total to an insignificant extent, except in 1929 and 1931, when the comparative figures were as follows: Average of the monthly figures (excluding experimental) —
1929, 1,909,000; and 1931, 942,000; annual total divided by 12,
as shown in this volume (including experimental)—1929,

These data are for class I roads only, which account for
about 90 percent of all equipment owned by the railroads.
Annual data shown for unfilled orders are as of the end of December; other annual data are monthly averages. "Number owned"
includes leased freight cars, but not privately owned cars. In
obtaining the percent undergoing or awaiting repairs the namber
undergoing or awaiting classified repairs is related to " total
cars on line, " rather than to total owned, which is shown here.
Total cars on line include all railroad-owned cars on class I
lines, regardless of the class of the originating road; this figure is usually slightly less than the total owned, because more
class I cars are on 'class II and class III lines than the reverse. The freight-car ownership report includes data on car
installations and retirements, by districts and for the individual roads, by type of car. It also includes capacity figures.
The condition report gives the ownership of cars undergoing or
awaiting heavy and light repairs, by districts, by individual
roads, and by type of car. For earlier .monthly data which are
correct except for minor revisions, see the 1940, .1938, 1936, and

1938 and 1939 are available only for months shown. The percentage of locomotives undergoing or awaiting repairs is based
on "number on line" rather than " total owned." Total locomotives on line include all locomotives on class I lines regardless of ownership. The total on line is usually slightly smaller
than the total owned, because generally more class I locomotives
are on class II and class III lines than the reverse; also,
some locomotives owned by class I roads are usually on terminal
and industrial tracks. The condition report gives, for steam
and "electric and other" locomotives, the number on line, number
serviceable, number stored serviceable, and number awaiting
repairs, according to t!be class of the owning railroad,, all
shown by districts and for individual roads. Th e ownership

prior to 1939 the principal manufacturers reported and the coverage was practically complete. Data include both foreign and
domestic orders and shipments. Separate data on domestic unfilled orders and shipments published in previous SUPPLEMENTS
and in monthly SURVEYS through December 1941 were discontinued
by the Bureau of the Census after September 1941. "Other locomotives" include straight-electric, Diesel-electric, steam-electric, gasoline-electric, Diesel-mechanical, and gasoline-mechanical. The gasoline-electric and gasoline-mechanical types cover internal-combustion locomotives for which electric ignition
systems are provided. Prior to 1939 the Diesel-mechanical and
gasoline-mechanical types were not included; this affects the
comparability of the data only slightly. Beginning 1939, specific definitions for classifying locomotives as railroad or
mining and industrial were established by the Bureau of the Census. Prior to 1939, the manufacturers made the distinction according to their interpretation of the terms. There is no way
to determine the extent to which their interpretations differed
from the definitions established by the Bureau of the Census but
the comparability of the series was probably affected to some
extent.
Earlier monthly data for total unfilled orders, together with
data on domestic unfilled orders and shipments only, are shown
in the 1940, 1938, and 1936 SUPPLEMENTS and are correct except
for minor revisions. Monthly data beginning 1920 for other
series are available on request.

The data are based on reports of manufacturers comprising the
entire industry. Exports as well as domestic shipments are included. Data include only units which are 50 percent or more
completed in the United States. Electric types include straight
electric types only (trolley or third-rail storage battery).
"Other" includes Diesel-electric, Diesel-mechanical, and gasoline or steam locomotives; these are largely industrial. The
figures shown represent totals for the quarters ended March,
June, September, and December. Annual figures are quarterly
averages.
"Other" types and "total" shipments are available only beginning January 1940. The data for the electric types shown in the
1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS (revisions in note 2 for
p. 161 in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT) include some units of less than
50 percent United States manufacture and are, therefore, not comparable with the present series, but are reasonably comparable
within themselves. Prior to 1939 only the principal manufacturers in the industry reported but the coverage was practically
complete. Since 1939 ail the manufacturers have reported.
" Compiled by the V. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and Bureau of the

I Comprehensive statistics on Canada are available in the
Monthly Review of Business Statistics, published by the Department of Trade and Commerce, Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Genera/ Statistics Branch, This publication is similar to the SURVEY in that it provides 13-month comparisons (with some weekly
figures) for the major Canadian economic indicators. The sub*
scription price is $1 a year.
* Computed by the Canadian Department of Trade and Commerce,
Dominion Bureau of Statistics, General Statistics Branch. Beginning January 1940, the index of physical volume of business has
been computed on a 1935-39 base, instead of on a 1926 base as
formerly, and certain changes made in its construction. The index is made up of 57 series, excluding agricultural marketings
for which separate indexes are shown, weighted on the "value
added" principle as compared with actual prices in the former index. The weights assigned to the groups are as follows: Industrial production, 73.4 (distributed by subgroups as follows—
mineral production, 8.1; manufacturing, 49,6; construction, 11.6;
and electric power production, 4.1); distribution, 26.6 (divided
as follows—carloadings, 7.9; trade employment, 13.6*, imports,
3.1 and exports, 2.0).
The indexes of agricultural marketings are constructed from
grain receipts and livestock sales. The weighting of these two
groups are 57 and 43, respectively.
The indexes are corrected for seasonal variation mainly by the
"link-relative median" method, using data for the period 1919-38.
The indexes for years prior to 1940 were obtained by shifting
the former indexes on a 1926 base to the new 1935-39 base. All
data shown are preliminary and subject to further revision.

The cost of living index, compiled by the Department of Trade
and Commerce, Dominion Bureau o/Statistics, in consultation with
the Dominion Department of Labor and the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board, replaces the series on a 1926 base shown in the 1940
SUPPLEMENT. The new series on a 1935-39 base reflects the
changes in the cost of a fixed budget covering retail prices of
commodities, services, and shelter costs based upon the expenditure experience of 1,439 typical wage-earner families in the
year ended September 30, 1938. Individual indexes are prepared
for six major groups.
The weights assigned each group in the
combined'index, expressed as a percent of the total, are as follows: Food, 31.3; shelter, 19.1; fuel and light, 6.4; clothing,
11.7; home furnishings, 8.9; miscellaneous, 22.6. Data on food,
fuel, clothing, and home furnishings are collected monthly.
Rents are reported in May and October; for the intervening months
the latest figure is carried forward as a constant. Data for a
number of items in the miscellaneous group are collected only
annually. The monthly indexes are as of the 1st of the month.
A more complete description of this index is shown in a release
of the Department of Trade and Commerce entitled "Living Costs
in Canada, 1940. " Monthly data for 1914-37 are shown in table
35, p- 19, of the January 1942 SURVEY.
The wholesale price index, compiled by the General Statistics
Branch, Dominion Bureau of Statistics, is of the weighted aggregative type, and is at present based on 567 price series, some
being composite prices. For the period 1926-33 it was based on
502 price series, and in 1913-25 on 236 series. Earlier monthly
data in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are correct
except for 1930 and 1931 and minor revisions in data for other
years.
The cost of living and wholesale price indexes are published
regularly in the "Monthly Review of Business Statistics" and in
a mimeographed report "Prices and Price Indexes. "

Indexes are compiled by the Canadian Department of Trade

Compiled by the Life Insurance Sales Research Bureau, Hartford, Conn. These figures represent the sales of new ordinary
life insurance, exclusive of group and wholesale business, annuities, pension bonds without insurance, reinsurance acquired,
revivals, increases, dividend additions, and the extra amount of
risk under family income and double income policies. The full
face amount of each policy is reported when the company becomes
liable for the fulfillment of its terms. The data beginning 1930
are compiled from reports of 18 companies, representing 84 -percent of the new ordinary life insurance business in the Dominion
of Canada and the Colony of Newfoundland. Figures for earlier
years are comparable estimates based on reports of a varying number of companies.
Monthly data for 1936-37, which have been revised since publication in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT, are shown on p. 56 of the September 1940 SURVEY; earlier monthly data appear in the 1938
SUPPLEMENT and on p. 19 of the September 1937 SURVEY. Data in
the 1936 and 1932 SUPPLEMENTS are for a varying number of companies and are not comparable with the present series. Details
by provinces and the Colony of Newfoundland are shown in the
Bureau's monthly reports. The same figures are available as percentages of the average 1930 month.

into the total by the SURVEY to maintain comparability.
Monthly data 1929-37 are found in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and

Both of these series are from the Canadian Department of
Trade and Commerce, Dominion Bureau of Statistics, General Statistics Branch. The bond yield index represents Dominion of
Canada long-term bond yields. Beginning 1937, the index has been
revised and is based upon yields of a 15-year 3-1/2 percent Dominion issue as computed by the Bank of Canada. The index has
been calculated on the basis 6f an unchanging 15-year maturity
period to avoid the influence of approaching maturity which resulted in a gradual drift downward in the former yield index
after 1936. For years prior to 1937, data formerly computed on
a 1926 base were recomputed on the new 1935-39 base. The index
for the earlier period is calculated from data issued by A. E.
Ames and Company, Ltd. For 1932-36 the series is based upon the
arithmetic average of the computed yields of two representative
long-term Dominion issues. Prior to 1932 the data are based on
yields of a group of bonds of shorter average maturity. Monthly
data prior to 1938 are available on request.
The stock price index is the same index that was shown in the
1940 SUPPLEMENT except that the base period has been changed from
1926 to 1935-39. The list of stocks included in the common stock
index varies, but in revising the list from year to year, dropping out stocks that had become inactive and adding stocks that
had become important, revisions were so carried out as to preserve
the continuity of the series. For 1938-41 the index covers 95
stocks (8 banks, 19 utilities, 68 industrials); for 1937, one
more bank stock was included; for 1927-36, from 112 to 135
stocks; and for earlier years, 52 stocks. The average for 1914
