FOREWORD
BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 edition, is the thirteenth volume in a series
of basic reference works published to make the time series in the monthly
Survey of Current Business of maximum use. It contains both historical
data and essential descriptive and source materials, all designed for use in
conjunction with the comprehensive set of economic measures published
on a current basis.
The present edition groups the quarterly data for major time series at
the beginmng of the volume and extends the statistics for each quarter
back to 1951. A similar rearrangement of quarterly data will be made in
the monthly Survey and it is felt that the resulting rearrangement will be
more helpful to users. Another innovation in this edition is the Machol
Edge Index, a time-saving tool to guide readers to various important sections of the book.
Detailed descriptive notes are keyed appropriately to the numerous statistical indicators presented. The notes are designed to foster sound interpretation and use of the statistics, and are presented in sufficient detail to
be valuable to specialists in many fields of economic and statistical operations.
Recent biennial editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS are available from
the Superintendent of Documents U S Government Printing Office (Washington 25, D C ) and from the various Field Offices of the Department of
Commerce
Reference copies of the earlier out-of-print editions will be
found in these Field Offices, as well as in numerous depositories of government publications and other libraries located throughout the Nation.
This volume and the monthly statistical section of the Survey are made
possible by the cooperation of many private organizations and Government
agencies which ha\ e courteously provided statistical and descriptive information
These ontnbutors are listed in a separate section, and we
Wish lo express o them her^ our appreciation of all their assistance.
The present publication was prepared by the Current Business Analysis
Division
Dr Charles A R Wardwell Director of this division for many
years prior to his retirement on March 31, 1961, has been succeeded by
Murray F Foss a Jong-term st atf member of the Office of Business Economics who m now in charge K Celeste Stokes, the Statistics Editor of
the Survev of Current Business was responsible for producing this volume
with the assistance of: Ceo V. Barry, G. Alva Carriere, Jean M. Plass,
Edith M Robinson Delores V Ruckman, Sylvia D. Serafin, and Myrtis E.

Explanatory Notes to fiie Stotisticai Series
DATA REFERENCE NOTEo"-The 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS (the Statistical Supplement to the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS) contains annual averages back to 1929, i f available. F o r the available monthly (or quarterly) figures p r i o r to 1957, as mentioned in the main note for individual series, consult BUSINESS STATISTICS editions as follows: 1955-56 figures, the 1959 edition; 195354, the 1957 edition; 1951-52, the 1955 edition; 1949-50, the 1953 edition; 1947-48, the 1951 edition; 1945-46, the 1949 edition; 1941-44,
the 1947 edition; 1938-40, the 1942 edition; 1936-37, the 1940 edition; 1934-35, the 1938 edition; 1932-33, the 1936 edition; 1931 and p r i o r
years, the 1932 edition.
The use of i t a l i c vs. roman type in p r i n t i n g the statistics for certain series indicates a break in comparability. However, if more
than one change in type occurs, this does not necessarily mean that the various groups of figures in s i m i l a r type are comparable w i t h
each other (see pertinent notes) „
E r r a t a occuring in back editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS are corrected in the present volume; for corrections, see notes pertaining to the affected series.

M E A N I N G O F SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many of the series ot data contamed m this volume are
labeled as seasonally adjusted, or s i m p l y adjusted.
T h i s means that adjustments have been made to eliminate
the effects of seasonal variations. Seasonal variations are
those which follow the calendar and tend to occur in about
the same way at about the same t i m e year after y e a r l a r g e l y because of weather or custom. Some grow out of
the round of the s e a s o n s - s u c h as the harvestmg of many
crops i n late summer or the slackening of construction act i v i t y i n the winter i n northern l a t i t u d e s - w h i l e others are
l a r g e l y due to social conventions such as the observance of
certain holidays or the closing of schools for summer vacations, and s t i l l others are based on legislation such as
variations reflecting the incidence of tax-payment
dates o
The amplitudes of seasonal departures :trom " n o r m a l "
v a r y widely f r o m industry to industry. Automobile production, for example, may range f r o m one-half below " n o r m a l " m the model change-over period to one-fifth above i t
m the succeeding period of building up dealers' stocks of
the new models, while output of other transportation equipment (in contrast, l i t t l e affected toy seasonal mfluences)
holds w i t h m a narrow range about 2 percent above and below the l e v e l determined by the t r e n d of general business
conditions.
The purpose of the seasonal adjustment i s to remove, as
far as possible, the effects of these r e g u l a r l y r e c u r r i n g
movements of the s o r t indicated above, so that the underlying t r e n d of developments can be observed without inter lerence. Thus by adjusting December r e t m l sales for the
customary Christmas buying rush, one i s better able to det e r m i n e whether December sales r e g i s t e r e d more or less
than the usual gam f r o m November; s i m i l a r l y , by adjusting
October cash income f r o m f a r m marketmgs f o r the usual
heavy movement of crops to market m that month, one can
t e l l better what the t r e n d of cash f a r m mcome would have
been i f f a r m products were marketea evenly throughout the
yean
Because the usual way of d e r i v i n g a seasonal pattern i s
to Dase It upon data of a broad group of f i r m s representing
an e n t i r e industry, i t w i l l not, of course, necessarily apply
to any mdividual f i r m . Data are adjusted for seasonal e f fects by dividing the unadjusted, datum f o r a given month by
a percentage factor whose deviation f r o m 100 r e g i s t e r s the
extent to which that period of the year is typically above or
below some measure of n o r m a l " because of seasonal i n fluences.
Adjusted data are better indicators than are unadjusted
data of the underlying trends of business activity i n cases
where strong seasonal movements tend to obscure the
c y c l i c a l movements „

Economics, "National income" is the aggregate earnings of labor
and property which arise f r o m the current production of goods
and services by the Nation's economy. The Nation's economy r e f e r s to the labor and property supplied by residents of the Nation.
Earnings are recorded in the f o r m s in which they accrue to r e s i dents of the Nation, inclusive of taxes on those earnings. They
consist of compensation of employees, the profits of corporate
and unincorporated enterprises, net interest, and the rental income of persons. Beginning 1960, the estimates include data for
Alaska and Hawaii.
"Compensation of employees" is the income accruing to p e r sons in an employee status as remuneration f o r their work. It is
the sum of wages and salaries and supplements to wages and salaries.
"Wages and salaries" consist of the monetary remuneration of
employees commonly regarded as wages and salaries, inclusive
of executives' compensation, commissions, tips, and bonuses,
and of payments in kind which represent income to the recipients.
"Supplements to wages and s a l a r i e s " represent the compensat i o n of persons in an employee status not commonly regarded as
wages and salaries. They consist of employer contributions f o r
social insurance, employer contributions to private pension and
welfare funds, compensation f o r i n j u r i e s , d i r e c t o r s ' fees, pay of
the m i l i t a r y reserve, and other m i n o r items of labor income,
" P r o p r i e t o r s ' income" (shown se;parately for business and p r o fessional enterprises and f a r m enterprises) measures the monet a r y earnings and income in kind of sole proprietorships, partnerships, and producers' cooperatives f r o m their current business
operations —other than supplementary income of individuals der i v e d f r o m renting property. As with corporate p r o f i t s , capital
gains and losses are excluded and no deduction is made for depletion.
"Inventory valuation adjustment" measures the excess of the
value of the change in the volume of nonfarm business inventor i e s , valued at average p r i c e s during the period, over the change
i n the book value of nonfarm inventories. This adjustment is r e quired since, as i s customary in business accounting, corporate
p r o f i t s and income of unincorporated enterprises are taken i n clusive of inventory p r o f i t o r loss, whereas only the value of the
r e a l change i n inventories is counted as current output in the national product. Inventory valuation adjustment is shown separately only f o r corporations; this adjustment is included, however, in
the data shown f o r unincorporated enterprises, as indicated in
note 3c
"Rental income of persons" consists of the monetary earnings
of persons f r o m the rental of r e a l property (except those of p e r sons p r i m a r i l y engaged in the r e a l estate business), the imputed
net rental returns to owner-occup^ints of nonfarm dwellings, and
the royalties received by persons f r o m patents, copyrights, and
rights to natural resources.
"Corporate p r o f i t s before tax" are the earnings of corporations
organized f o r p r o f i t which accrue to residents of the Nation,
(197)
198
1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
measured before Federal and State p r o f i t taxes, without deduction
of depletion charges and exclusive of capital gains and losses.
"Corporate p r o f i t s tax l i a b i l i t y " comprises Federal and State
taxes levied on corporate earnings. Disbursements of tax refunds
a r e deducted f r o m tax l i a b i l i t y in the year i n which the tax l i a b i l i ty was incurred.
"Net interest" measures the monetary interest and imputed interest accruing to the Nation's residents f r o m private business
and f r o m abroad, minus government interest disbursements to
business. Imputed interest consists of the value of financial
services received by persons without explicit payment and prope r t y income withheld by l i f e insurance companies and mutual f i nancial intermediaries on the account of persons. As government
interest paid to business appears as part of business incomes, it
is deducted in computing net interest to prevent its inclusion in
the national income.
The q u a r t e r l y data f o r national income represent interpolations
of annual totals (the methods employed in calculating the annual
estimates are beyond the scope of this descriptive note, but are
described in the two SUPPLEMENTS to the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS r e f e r r e d to below). F o r the most part, the interpolating data used are components of the personal income
series (described in some detail in note 1 for p. 5) supplemented
by special studies on corporate p r o f i t s , which u t i l i z e publicly r e ported quarterly corporate-earnings data. In the computations of
seasonally adjusted corporate p r o f i t s , separate indexes were constructed f o r individual industries by a v a r i e t y of methods: Ratio
to moving averages, interpolation by seasonally adjusted receipts
data, and by graphic techniques.
Q u a r t e r l y data for 1939-45, as w e l l as m o r e detailed annual
data back to 1929, are shown in the NATIONAL INCOME SUPPLEMENT to the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, 1954 edition. Q u a r t e r l y data for 1946-50 appear in U. S. INCOME AND
OUTPUT, SUPPLEMENT to the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, 1958 edition (see also the National Income number of the
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, July 1961). The aforementioned publications include annual data by industrial o r i g i n for
total national income and f o r the various components (other than
rental income of persons) and a breakdown of total national income by legal f o r m of organization. The annual series on
salaries and wages are supplemented by data on employment and
average annual earnings of employees, by industries.
2 Includes the pay of employees of government enterprises and
of permanent United States residents employed in the United
States by foreign governments and international organizations.
. ^ Data for business and professional income include inventory
valuation adjustment. F a r m income is measured exclusive of i n ventory profits; therefore no valuation adjustment is required.

Economics. "Gross national product or'expenditure" is the m a r ket value of the output of goods and services produced by the Nation's economy, before deduction of depreciation charges and
other allowances for business and institutional consumption of
durable capital goods. Other business products used up by business in the accounting period^are excluded. The Nation's econom y in this context r e f e r s to labor and property supplied by r e s i dents of the Nation. Gross national product comprises the p u r chase of goods and services by consumers and government, gross
private domestic investment, and net foreign investment. Beginning 1960, the estimates include data for Alaska and Hawaii.
"Personal consumption expenditures" consist of the market v a l ue of purchasesl of goods and services by individuals and nonprofi t institutions, and the value of food, clothing, housing, and financ i a l services received by them as income in kind. They include
the rental value of owner-occupied homes, but do not include the
purchase of new dwellings. Note 2 below describes the statistical
sources and methods used in d e r i v i n g the series.
"Gross private domestic investment" consists of acquisitions
of newly produced capital goods by private business and nonprofit
institutions, and the value of the change in the volume of inventor i e s held by them. It covers a l l private new dwellings, including
those acquired by owner-occupants.
"New construction" consists of total private new construction as
given for the " o l d s e r i e s " on p. 42, plus estimated construction expenditures for crude-petroleum and natural-gas d r i l l i n g . (Note
that the " r e v i s e d s e r i e s " of construction estimates issued by Census are used for GNP purposes only as a basis f o r extrapolation
beginning w i t h data for the 2d quarter of 1960.) An explanation of
private new construction w i l l be found in note 1 f o r p. 42. The
petroleumi and natural-gas d r i l l i n g series has 3 benchmark years
U939, 1954, and 1958) for which data collected in the Census of
M i n e r a l Industries were utilized. The annual estimates that are
tied to these benchmarks are developed f r o m figures on the total
footage of new wells as reported in trade sources, and average
cost per foot as estimated by adjusting the Census-based a v e r ages by cost indexes based on data f r o m trade publications and the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Monthly seasonal factors for private
new construction are computed, by components, and applied to
yield seasonally adjusted monthly totals, f r o m which q u a r t e r l y
summations are then obtained. Q u a r t e r l y seasonal factors are
applied to the unadjusted q u a r t e r l y estimates for petroleum and
gas d r i l l i n g to produce an adjusted s e r i e s .
"Producers' durable equipment" f o r 1939 and p r i o r census
years was generally estimated f r o m commodity production data
in the biennial "Census of Manufactures" combined into various
groups and raised f r o m the manufacturers' value of production to
a value representing f i n a l p r i c e s paid by ultimate users by allowing f o r transportation charges f r o m the factory, government
purchases, wholesale and r e t a i l markups, wholesale and r e t a i l inventory changes, and net exports. Chief sources of data f o r these
adjustments included Interstate Commerce Commission f r e i g h t
commodity statistics; T e m p o r a r y National Economic Committee,
"Study of Government Purchasing"; Departments of the Navy and
A i r F o r c e tabulations of F e d e r a l purchases; Census of Business,
" D i s t r i b u t i o n of Manufacturers' Sales," "Wholesale T r a d e , " and
" R e t a i l T r a d e " ; Bureau of the Census, "Wholesalers' Sales, Inventories, and C r e d i t s " ; Dun and Bradstreet, "Survey of Sales
and Inventories, 1935-1939"; U. S. Department of Commerce,
" F o r e i g n Commerce and Navigation of the United States." F o r
intercensal years, manufacturers' values of production or sales
were interpolated by groups by series derived chiefly f r o m the
Internal Revenue Service, "Statistics of Income," and f r o m Sec u r i t i e s and Exchange Commission, "Survey of A m e r i c a n L i s t e d
Corporations." The interpolated series were raised to the value
representing f i n a l p r i c e s paid by ultimate users by the adjustments indicated above.
A s i m i l a r procedure was followed f o r 1947. Shipments data
were derived f r o m the Census of Manufactures f o r that year, and
reliance was placed largely on the 1948 Census of Business and
Internal Revenue Service data f o r computation of wholesale and
r e t a i l markup rates. In the main, the Federal Government p u r chase estimates were made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
f r o m data of the various departments concerned; and Census, Office of Education, and Bureau of Public Roads reports were the
p r i m a r y basis of the estimates of State and local government expenditures.
F o r 1942 through the f i r s t half of 1946, the estimates were
based on nnanufacturers' commodity shipments data reported by the
Bureau of the Census i n "Fabricated-Metal-Products Plant Operations," and combined by groups comparable to those based on
the "Cemsus of Manufactures." Estimates of the portion of total
shipments of each com-modity destined f o r p r i v a t e domestic use
were based largely on p r i o r i t i e s data reported in the same
source, on Departments of the A r m y and Navy procurement data,
and on defense plant data as reported in Census-Civilian Production A d m i n i s t r a t i o n releases and by the War Assets A d m i n i s t r a tion. In addition. Interstate Commerce Commission data on r a i l road purchases of equipment, Office of Defense Transportation
figures on m o t o r - v e h i c l e sales, and other data were used.
F o r 1940 and 1941, individual groups were interpolated by
series derived chiefly f r o m "Statistics of Income" and Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, "Industry Survey" and
"Survey of Current Business."
F o r the second half of 1946 and the period 1948-49, group
benchmarks of manufacturers' commodity shipments were i n terpolated chiefly by industry sales reported in the "Industry
Survey" and Census data on wholesalers' sales, with deductions
f o r exports based on data obtained f r o m export worksheets f r o m
BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION 207
the Foreign Trade Division of the Bureau of the Census. For
1950-57, shipments were derived f r o m Census sample surveys of
manufactures and the 1954 Census of Manufactures, Government
purchases were estimated f r o m unpublished data of the National
Production Administration, the Department of Defense, and other
Federal departments, and f r o m Census reports. The producer
share of exports and imports was computed for 1950-57 and new
wholesale and r e t a i l markets and inventory change estimates
were derived f r o m 1954 Census and other data. P r e l i m i n a r y annual estimates for 1950, 1952, and 1954-56 based on the foregoing methods were adjusted to take into account the movement
of a series consisting of the equipment component of the Plant
and Equipment Survey plus estimates of equipment not covered
by the Survey. The latter series was used for the annual estimates for 1958-60 and a l l quarterly estimates shown here. Additional data used include manufacturers' reports on t r u c k sales;
automobile and truck registrations; Bureau of Customs reports of
additions to the merchant marine; M a r i t i m e Administration r e c ords of new vessel construction; current Census data relating to
a i r c r a f t , f a r m machinery, and t r a c t o r s ; and information f r o m
private trade associations,
"Change in business inventories" measures the change in the
physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the
period. To ascertain the net physical change in the stocks of
nonfarm inventories, year-end book values are expressed in
t e r m s of constant prices by means of selected Bureau of Labor
Statistics wholesale p r i c e indexes appropriate to each industry.
The increments in the constant dollar inventory series are converted to current prices by multiplying them by index ratios of
current prices to base-period prices. Quarterly data are obtained by adjusting the results of s i m i l a r quarterly calculations
made in less detail to the annual estimates. The change in f a r m
inventories is estimated by the Statistical Reporting Service of
the Department of Agriculture ( f o r m e r l y A g r i c u l t u r a l Marketing
Service) f r o m physical -quantity data.
The book values of year-end inventories held by corporations
are obtained f r o m the "Statistics of Income, Part i r Noncorporate inventories are mainly derived f r o m benchmark data obtained f r o m the "Censuses of Manufactures, Wholesale Trade, and
Retail Trade," and f r o m Internal Revenue Service special tabulations of the tax returns of sole proprietorships and partnerships«
The interpolations of the noncorporate data f o r years before
1939 are based on estimates of noncorporate sales derived in estimating noncorporate business income, on inventory-sales ratios
developed f r o m census and tax r e t u r n data, and on corresponding
corporate inventory-sales ratios„ The interpolations and extrapolations of the noncorporate data for years after 1939 are based on
the movement of the noncorporate components i m p l i c i t in the inventory estimates published monthly in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. These estimates are based on industry s u r veys compiled by the Office of Business Economics and the Bureau of the Census.
The year-end estimates of the book value of inventories for
years after 1957 and the quarterly estimates of the book value
of inventories, starting in 1939, are also based, for the most part
on inventory data obtained f r o m these samples.
" E x p o r t s " and " i m p o r t s " under "net exports of goods and s e r v ices" d i f f e r f r o m the corresponding items in the balance of payments (see note 1 for p. 10) in minor respects. A f u l l r e c o n c i l iation annually for the period 1946-57 is provided in U. S INCOME AND OUTPUT, 1958 edition (see also the National Income number of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, July
1961). The net exports component of gross national product d i f fers f r o m the net foreign investment component heretofore shown
by the exclusion of Government net cash transfers to abroad.
P r i o r to 1946, however, such transfers were negligible, and therefore net exports of goods and services have been equated with the
previously published net foreign investment,
"Government purchases of goods and services" measure p u r chases of goods and services by government bodies, exclusive of
acquisitions of land and used depreciable assets and of current
outlays of government enterprises. They consist of general government expenditures for compensation of employees, purchases
f r o m business (net of sales by government of consumption goods
and materials), gross investment of government enterprises, net
government purchases f r o m abroad, and international grants i n
kind. (The present treatment of international grants d i f f e r s f r o m
that f o r m e r l y employed by the exclusion of Government net cash
transfers to abroad i n conformity w i t h the reporting of net exports as noted above.) Therefore, "government purchases of
goods and s e r v i c e s " exclude transfer payments, government i n terest, and subsidies, as w e l l as loans and other financial t r a n s fers outside the scope of income and product transactions.
" F e d e r a l purchases of goods and s e r v i c e s " are based essentially on the T r e a s u r y Daily and Monthly Statements of Receipts
and Expenditures of the Uo S. Government. However, since the
total of budgetary expenditures as reported in those publications
includes amounts not representing purchases of goods o r services
and excludes other items which do constitute purchases according
to the definition of gross national product, and reflects s t i l l others
with t i m i n g different f r o m that of the actual purchases, numerous
adjustments must be made.
The procedure is to treat the T r e a s u r y total of budget expenditures as a benchmark, adding or subtracting appropriate amounts
so as to derive purchases of goods and services as a residual.
The p r i n c i p a l deductions are t r a n s f e r s to t r u s t accounts, net expenditures of Government enterprises, subsidies, purchases of
existing assets, tax refunds, g r a n t s - i n - a i d to State and local governments, transfer payments, interest, and loans and other capit a l transactions not included under any of the above captions.
Chief additions are the acquisition of fixed assets and inventories
by Government enterprises, general Government contributions to
social-insurance funds, and purchases of goods o r services r e flected in t r u s t accounts rather than in general and special accounts of the T r e a s u r y . It w i l l be noted that some of the additions involve restoration, with different timing, of items p r e v i ously deducted. Adjustments f o r renegotiation of war contracts,
f o r Government purchases on credit, and f o r advances and p r e payments are made. Still further adjustments grow out of technical peculiarities in the accounting practices followed in compilation of the T r e a s u r y Statements.
Many of the necessary adjustments are found explicitly in the
Treasury Statements, but for the others r e s o r t must be had to
the Budget, the T r e a s u r y ' s Combined Statement of Receipts, Expenditures, and Balances, financial reports of Government corporations, a wide variety of other documents, and contacts with off i c i a l s of Government agencies.
F r o m the gross Federal purchases of goods and services to
which the above comments relate must be subtracted a l l foreign
sales by the Government, as well as its domestic sales of s u r plus consumption goods and m a t e r i a l s . Data on the foreign sales
come f r o m the U. S. balance-of-payments statistics, while the
domestic sales are based on reports of the War Assets Administ r a t i o n for some years and on the Budget for others.
"State and local purchases of goods and services" are derived
p r i m a r i l y f r o m the "State Finances," " C i t y Finances," "County
Finances," "Summary of Governmental Finances," " H i s t o r i c a l
Statistics on State and L o c a l Government Finances, 1902-53,"
and other reports of the Governments D i v i s i o n of the Bureau of
the Census. As in the case of the Federal estimates, expenditures, other than for goods and services (such as transfer payments , interest, transfers to sinking funds, grants to other governments, and transfers to public-service enterprises) are
omitted, and excluded goods-and-service expenditures (such as
the capital outlay of government enterprises and employer contributions to r e t i r e m e n t funds) are added. Interpolation or extrapolation of data for the intercensal periods is accomplished
p r i m a r i l y through the use of independent State and local p a y r o l l
and public-construction data.
Annual data for 1929-38 and q u a r t e r l y data for 1939-45 are
shown in the NATIONAL INCOME SUPPLEMENT to the SURVEY

VII; IX, 6, 8-12; X; XI; XII, 1, 3, 4).
In distributing the annual estimates on a quarterly basis,
monthly and quarterly data prepared by governmental and nongovernmental agencies are employed. Among the sources used
for estimating the movement of expenditures for goods are the
r e t a i l sales series of the Department of Commerce, departmentstore sales, by departments (Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System), motor fuel taxed (Bureau of Public Roads), consumer prices (Bureau of Labor Statistics), and f a r m marketings
data (Statistical Reporting Service, Department of Agriculture^,
f o r m e r l y A g r i c u l t u r a l Marketing Service). F o r services, the
p r i n c i p a l sources used are as follows: Selected price series,
such as rents and domestic service (Bureau of Labor Statistics);
local transit revenues (American T r a n s i t Association); sales of
e l e c t r i c power for residential use (Edison E l e c t r i c Institute);
sales of gas for residential use ( A m e r i c a n Gas Association); and
telephone station revenues (Federal Communications C o m m i s sion).
In general, the movement of a series, where considered r e p r e sentative of the movement of expenditures in a given group, is
applied d i r e c t l y to the base. Where a single series is not considered wholly representative of a specific segment, weighted
combinations of several related series are employed to obtain
the desired result.

indexes, in as fine a breakdown as practicable. About 100 product groups are deflated separately, and several times as many
price indexes drawn f r o m the sources indicated below are combined to deflate the c u r r e n t - d o l l a r series. Seasonal variations
are eliminated f r o m the price series used. The q u a r t e r l y r e sults obtained are adjusted to the annual constant-dollar figures,
which are prepared in an even finer breakdown as described in
the NATIONAL INCOME SUPPLEMENT, 1954 edition. Beginning 1960, the estimates include data for Alaska and Hawaii.
"Personal consumption expenditures" are deflated mainly by
p r i c e series which are components of the Consumer Price Index
compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. S. Department of
L a b o r , and by the series on Prices Paid by F a r m e r s prepared by
the U. S. Department of A g r i c u l t u r e . These two sets of data are
combined to give representation to prices paid by both urban and
r u r a l purchasers.
"New construction" is deflated by the Business and Defense
Services A d m i n i s t r a t i o n of the Department of Commerce l a r g e l y
on the basis of construction cost indexes compiled by private and
Government agencies. An adjustment for changing p r o f i t margins
is introduced in order to match these cost indexes to the selling
price level embodied in the c u r r e n t - d o l l a r estimates of new construction.
"Producers' durable equipment" purchases are adjusted to
eliminate p r i c e changes by reference principally to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics Wholesale Price Indexes and the Interstate Commerce Commission indexes of the prices of r a i l r o a d equipment.
"Change in business inventories" also is deflated largely on the
basis of Bureau of L a t e r Statistics Wholesale Price Indexes.
"Net exports of goods and s e r v i c e s " is the balance of separatel y deflated exports and i m p o r t s . M a j o r reliance in removing
price changes is on indexes of unit values for merchandise exports and imports prepared by the Bureau of Foreign Commerce
of the Department of Commerce.
"Government purchases of goods and services" are deflated
mainly by BLS Wholesale Price Indexes and the construction cost
indexes of the Business and Defense Services A d m i n i s t r a t i o n to
which reference has been made above.

Economics. "Personal income" is the c u r r e n t income received
by persons f r o m a l l sources, inclusive of transfers f r o m government and business, but exclusive of transfers among persons.
Not only individuals (including owners of unincorporated enterprises) but nonprofit institutions, private trust funds, and private
pension and welfare funds ai'e classified as "persons." Personal
income is the sum of wage and salary disbursements, other labor
income, p r o p r i e t o r s ' income, rental income of persons, d i v i dends, personal interest income, and transfer payments, less
personal contributions for social insurance. Beginning 1960, the
estimates include data for Alaska and Hawaii.
"Wage and salary disbursements" are equal to wages and salaries, except that retroactive wages are counted when received
rather than when earned. They include income in kind as w e l l as
monetary receipts in the f o r m of wages, salaries, commissions,
etc. F o r information on the several components of employer
disbursements, see note 3 below. An explanation of "other labor
income" is given in note 2 for p. 6.
" P r o p r i e t o r s ' and rental income" is the sum of income of unincorporated enterprises and inventory valuation adjustment and
rental income of persons as given in the components of national
income (see description in note 1 f o r p. 1).
"Personal interest income" measures the monetary interest
and the imputed interest accruing to individuals and nonprofit institutions.
" T r a n s f e r payments" consist of monetary income receipts of
individuals f r o m government and business (other than government
interest) for which no services are c u r r e n t l y rendered, of government payments and corporate gifts to nonprofit institutions,
and of individuals' bad debts to business. The contents of this
item are given in detail in note 3 for p. 6.
Personal income d i f f e r s f r o m national income in that i t i n cludes transfer payments and government interest, while i t excludes both employee and employer contributions for social insurance, corporate profits tax l i a b i l i t y and inventory valuation
adjustment, and undistributed corporate profits. A minor d i f f e r ence also appears in the wage and salary components in that r e t roactive wage payments are included in personal income when
received and in national income when earned.
The sources and methods used in compiling the monthly series
are given in paragraphs following. In the quarterly series showing disposition of personal income, total personal income is the
sum of the monthly totals.
F o r interpolating the annual series and for extending the series
c u r r e n t l y , monthly data f r o m various governmental and private
agencies are employed. Monthly r e p o r t s of the U. S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Interstate Commerce Commission, Bureau of
Employment Security, Census Bureau, C i v i l Service Commission,
and other agencies are used to estimate v^ages and salaries.
Estimates for wages and salaries are prepared individually by
industries, and for the period 1939-60 these are based mainly on
p a y r o l l indexes of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, p a y r o l l indexes
constructed f r o m wage and employment data f r o m the Bureau of
BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION
Employment Security, reports by c a r r i e r s to the Interstate Commerce Commission, and p a y r o l l estimates of the M a r i t i m e Adm i n i s t r a t i o n and Statistical Reporting Service, U. S. Department
of A g r i c u l t u r e ( f o r m e r l y A g r i c u l t u r a l Marketing Service). In only
a few instances were indirect methods of estimate employed^
Since there is a considerable lag in the publication of Employment
Security data, current estimates are less detailed, and r e s o r t is
m o r e frequently made to indirect methods of estimate„ Nevertheless, the total p a y r o l l of groups for which no current information is available amounts to only about 5 percent of total wages
and salaries.
Seasonal indexes for the wage and salary data were constructed
separately for individual industries. F o r those industries in
which the seasonal fluctuations are r e l a t i v e l y m i n o r , and for
others where no adequate current information is available, no
seasonal correction is applied.
T r a n s f e r payments, for the most part, are reported d i r e c t l y by
various governmental agencies such as the Social Security A d m i n i s t r a t i o n , Veterans Administration, Bureau of Employment
Security, and U. S. C i v i l Service Commissiono For some of the
components of transfer payments (such as State and local government employees' retirement pensions and business transfer payments), no monthly information is availab]e„ The procedure used
in constructing monthly estimates is to plot the annual averages
at the midpoint of each year and to draw a smooth curve through
these annual averages^ It is necessary to use this procedure for
about 15 percent of total transfer payments c u r r e n t l y .
Dividend payments are c u r r e n t l y estimated f r o m a sample of
publicly reported dividends which is maintained by the Department of Commerce and embraces over 5,500 corporations. It
has not been found feasible to adjust dividends for seasonal v a r i a tion except on a quarterly basis, as this is the shortest time
period for which any r e g u l a r i t y can be established. Ratios to
moving averages yield seasonal factors which are applied to quart e r l y totals. The seasonally adjusted quarterly totals are
assumed to be representative of the midpoint of the quarter, and
straightline interpolation between the midpoints of the quarters
provides seasonally adjusted estimates for the other months.
Although the monthly estimates of p r o p r i e t o r s ' income and
rental income are prepared in considerable detail, they are
based on less adequate data than are wages and salaries» F a r m
p r o p r i e t o r s ' income is based mainly on cash income f r o m f a r m
marketings data provided by the Statistical Reporting Service,
U. So Department of A g r i c u l t u r e ( f o r m e r l y A g r i c u l t u r a l M a r k e t ing Service), Business and professional p r o p r i e t o r s ' income
estimates are based, for the most part, on annual regressions of
receipts to p r o p r i e t o r s ' income» Since the monthly receipts data
which are employed have already been corrected for seasonal
variation, no further seasonal correction is necessary.
The rent estimates are based largely on information on resi-^
dential rents collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for its
Consumer Price Index,
Interest estimates are in part based on current information, as
in the case of the large Federal Government component, and on
assumptions as to monthly pattern for the remainder of the category» Since a good deal of the interest consists of imputed i n t e r est, which represents the value of financial services received
without explicit payment, it is assumed that these services flow
r e g u l a r l y throughout the year and consequently this portion of
interest is smoothed. The seasonally adjusted interest series
represents a smoothing of the annual data. The resulting monthl y data reflect, therefore, only trend and c y c l i c a l fluctuations.
Other labor income represents a series obtained by plotting
annual averages and drawing a smooth curve through these a v e r ages.
Monthly estimates of employee contributions for old age and
s u r v i v o r s insurance, r a i l r o a d r e t i r e m e n t insurance, and F e d e r a l c i v i l i a n employee r e t i r e m e n t systems are based on relevant
wage and salary data, taking account of changes in contribution
rateso Contributions to Federal Government life insurance funds
and State cash sickness compensation funds are based on r e ceipts reported by the various funds. Monthly contributions to
State and local r e t i r e m e n t systems represent a smooth'curve
drawn through annual totals. Estimates of annual contributions
of self-employed persons to the old age and s u r v i v o r s insurance
fundj which are payable in the f i r s t quarter of the year, are obtained f r o m the Bureau of Employment Security and smoothed
year to approximate seasonal adjustment.

^ "Personal tax and nontax payments" consist of taxes levied
against individuals, their income, and their property that are not
deductible as expenses of business operations, and of other gene r a l government revenues f r o m individuals in their personal
capacity. They include payments for such specific services as
are provided within the framework of general government a c t i v ities but exclude purchases f r o m government e n t e r r / i s e s . Tax
refunds are deducted f r o m payments at the time ^x refund.
Federal personal tax payments are derived f r o m individual i n come, estate, and gift tax collection data a^ reported by the I n t e r nal Revenue Service. In the years of their operation, the v i c t o r y
tax, the tax on use of noncommercial boats, and a share (based
on an estimated r a t i o of personal vehicles to total registrations)
of the motor-vehicle use tax are also included. Collections of
withholding tax (including the v i c t o r y tax) are lagged so as to r e flect the t i m i n g of actual withholding; after January 1951, e s t i mated contributions of both employers and employees for old age
and s u r v i v o r s insurance are deducted. Seasonal adjustment of
the quarterly series is accomplished by distributing such lagged
calendar-year totals through four quarters in accordance with
the movement of seasonally adjusted payrolls subject to w i t h holding. Appropriate allowances are made for changes in tax
rates. Payments of other individual income taxes (declaration,
end-of-year, and back payments), estate and gift taxes, and the
personal share of motor-vehicle use taxes in any calendar year
are accepted as an expression of the annual rates prevailing in
each quarter of that year; estimated contributions of the selfemployed for old age and s u r v i v o r s insurance are deducted beginning in 1952. S i m i l a r l y , the annual rate of personal tax r e funds netted out in each quarter of any year i s the amount of
individual income, estate, and gift taxes actually refunded d u r ing that calendar year. These amounts are determined f r o m
Annual Reports of the Commissioner of. Internal Revenue and
adjusted, together with indirect business and corporate p r o f i t s
tax refunds, to the annual totals of a l l tax refunds as shown in
the Daily T r e a s u r y Statement p r i o r to 1954, and i n the Monthly
Treasury Statement beginning i n 1954. Federal personal nontax payments are determined p r i n c i p a l l y f r o m detailed analyses
of Budget data on miscellaneous receipts of the T r e a s u r y .
State and local personal tax payments (which consist of income,
death and gift, motor vehicle, personal property, and p o l l taxes,
and miscellaneous personal licenses) are based on the "State
Finances," "City Finances," "County Finances," "Summary of
Governmental Finances," and other reports of the Governments
Division of the Census Bureau, with appropriate interpolation or
extrapolation for inter census years. State and local pers6nal nontax payments, consisting largely of fines, penalties, and charges
for current services (other than by government enterprises), are
obtained f r o m the same sources and by the same methods. Seasonally adjusted quarterly data at annual rates are calculated by
graphic interpolation or extrapolation, except in the case of i n dividual income taxes, where calendar-year collections are
taken to reflect the annual rate in each quart er of any year.
" T o t a l disposable income" i s the income remaining to persons
after deduction of personal tax and nontax payments to general
government.
"Personal saving" i s obtained by deducting, f r o m total d i s posable income, personal consumption expenditures which are
not given separately here but are shown as a component of gross
national product or expenditure on p. 2 (see 2d paragraph of
note 1 for that page). Personal saving i s therefore the excess of
personal income over personal consumption expenditures and
taxes and other payments to general government. It consists of
the current saving of individuals (including owners of unincorporated businesses), nonprofit institutions, and private pension,
welfare, and t r u s t funds. Personal saving may be i n such f o r m s
• as changes in cash and deposits, security holdings, indebtedness,
and reserves of l i f e insurance companies and mutual savings

^ Sources: Securities and Exchange Commission, U. S. Department of Commerce (Office of Business Economics), and Interstate

Economics. The data on operating businesses and new and discontinued businesses r e f e r to number of " f i r m s " as opposed to
the number of "establishments." A f i r m is defined as a financ i a l l y responsible business organization under one management
with an established place of business and may c o n t r o l one or
more plants or outlets. However, f i r m s are on an unconsolidated
rather than a consolidated basis, i.e., each corporation and each
corporate subsidiary is separately counted. A l l nonfarm b u s r
nesses are included, regardless of size. Professional practices
such as those of physicians, lawyers, etc., are not considered
business f i r m s . On the other hand, a self-employed person is
included i f he has either an established place of business or at
least one paid employee.
It should be noted that figures shown in this volume, for a l l
series except operating businesses, are annual totals.
Discontinued businesses include closures of a l l kinds without
reference to the reason for going out of business—e.g., r e t i r e ment, f a i l u r e , illness, etc. New businesses include only f i r m s
that have been newly established.
The data on number of operating businesses and number of
new and discontinued businesses are estimates of the Office of
Business Economics. The estimates are based p r i m a r i l y on
statistics compiled by the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance. F i r m s engaged in more than one industry are c l a s s i fied according to the industry of greatest employment.
F o r 1951-60, figures shown for operating f i r m s at end of the

Economics o Exports and imports of goods are based chiefly on
the o f f i c i a l foreign trade statistics of the United States as compiled and published by the Bureau of the Census w i t h certain adjustments for valuation, coverage, and timing. M i l i t a r y t r a n s f e r s
(not separately available p r i o r to 1946) cover supplies and s e r v ices t r a n s f e r r e d under grants; they include loans of m i l i t a r y
equipment and returns of such equipment (returns are deducted
f r o m exports). M i l i t a r y expenditures cover expenditures for both
merchandise and services. Such expenditures include those by
m i l i t a r y personnel i n the foreign economies, as w e l l as expendi t u r e s by the Armed Forces, both for their own use abroad and
for transfers to our allies.
Income on investments includes a l l international payments of
interest, dividends, and p r o f i t s . Estimates of receipts a r e based
largely on information furnished by American companies with
foreign branches and subsidiaries, by f i s c a l agents for foreign
dollar bonds, and by recipient Government agencies. Payments
to foreigners on private obligations are derived largely f r o m
information supplied by foreign-owned companies and income tax
returns^, Other services consist p r i n c i p a l l y of international payments f o r shipping and travel, insurance, royalties, fees, and
miscellaneous Government expenditures. The shipping estimates
are derived f r o m questionnaires sent to domestic and foreign
shipping companies and f r o m statistics of international! tonnage
movements obtained f r o m records of the M a r i t i m e A d m i n i s t r a tiono The international movement of persons is recorded by the

of the t r a v e l population. Data for other miscellaneous service
transactions (such as Government expenditures, motion picture,
royalties, insurance, communications,etc.) are obtained mainly
f r o m the agencies or companies participating in such transactions.

Unilateral transfers consist of a l l gifts, and other transfers
without any immediate "quid pro quo," to (-) or f r o m (+) foreign
countries by either private citizens or the Government. Private
gifts include personal and institutional remittances. The f o r m e r
are based largely on money-order data and information received
f r o m banks and include parcel post gift packages; the latter are
based on data furnished by the institutions making the remittances.
Government unilateral transfers consist of the various aid p r o grams of the U. S. Government, such as lend-lease, UNRRA, int e r i m aid, European recovery, mutual security, and technical assistance programs, and other trcinsfers such as pensions and
payments of war-damage claims,
U. S. private capital movements include the outward (-) or inward (+) flow of capital such as movements of d i r e c t investments
of American enterprises in foreign branches and subsidiaries,
purchases and sales of foreign securities, loans and advances
less repayments, and changes i n deposits i n foreign banks.
U. S. Government capital movements include loans (less repayments) by the E x p o r t - I m p o r t Bank, credits on surplus property
and surplus ship sales, credits on postwar lend-lease transfers,
the loans to the United Kingdom, various commodity advances,
and changes i n holdings of foreign currencies.
Foreign long- and s h o r t - t e r m capital includes net investments
by foreign enterprises in American branches and subsidiaries,
foreign purchases and sales of American securities, credits and
advances (less repayments) by foreigners to American business,
and changes in foreign deposits in Uo S, banks. The m a j o r part
of the movements of foreign capital in the United States is due to
changes in foreign dollar reserves, consisting p r i m a r i l y of deposits in U. S. banks and holdings of Uo S. Government securities.
Gold sales (+) o r purchases ( - ) represent transactions reducing
o r increasing the monetary gold stock of the United States, This
includes transactions by the Government with foreign countries
as w e l l as f r o m purchases of gold mined in the United States and
f r o m sales of gold for industrial use. Net purchases ( - ) f r o m domestic sources or net sales (+) for domestic use are offset by an
equal amount with the opposite sign in the merchandise account.
E r r o r s and omissions represent the residual element in the
statement and would be zero if complete data on a l l foreign t r a n s actions were available.
More complete information and detailed data (including minor
revisions for the years 1919-39, as w e l l as for the quarters f r o m
1945 to 1950) on these series are contained i n the Department of
Commerce publication "Balance cf Payments Statistical Supplement," issued in 1958. Current quarterly data in detail together
w i t h appropriate analyses, are published in the SURVEY as soon
as possible after the close of each quarter. Detailed definitions
and methods used in setting up a balance-of-payments statement
are published in "Balance of Payments of the United States, 194951."

are derived f r o m estimates of monthly sales and prices received
by f a r m e r s f o r the various f a r m commodities. Estimates of
monthly marketings for most of the important f a r m products are
valued by mid-month prices. Average prices received during
the month are used in computing income f r o m vegetables for
fresh market, the important f r u i t s , potatoes, tobacco, meat animals, wholesale m i l k , butterfat, b r o i l e r s , and wool. Cash
receipts for a number of m i n o r commodities are computed by
applying a season average p r i c e . Data f o r Alaska and Hawaii
are not included.

as income during the month the loan is made and, i f the product
i s l a t e r redeemed, the cost of redemption is subtracted f r o m
receipts at the time of redemption. Government payments, which
are added to cash receipts f r o m marketings to obtain total cash
receipts f r o m farming, comprise a l l payments made d i r e c t l y to

f a r m e r s f o r their products i s not included in this i t e m since i t
i s covered in the estimates of receipts f r o m marketings.
Current estimates of marketing (1960) are' based on e s t i mated production, the n o r m a l disposition of the product, and the
usual seasonal movement to market, supplemented by available
c u r r e n t data on market receipts, marketing, processing of f a r m
products, and government p r i c e support operation. These e s t i mates w i l l be subsequently revised as more complete data on
production, crop-year sales, and monthly marketings become
available.
Indexes of cash receipts f r o m f a r m marketings and CCC loans
are computed by dividing the estimates of the relevant total of
cash receipts f o r each month by the monthly average of the c o r r e sponding total i n the base period 1947-49. The indexes shown here
are not adjusted for seasonal variation.
F o r a m o r e detailed description of the c u r r e n t series, see
F a r m Income Situation, No. 183, issued July 1961 by the Economic Research Service, U. S. Department of A g r i c u l t u r e .
Annual totals f o r 1910-28 f o r dollar figures f o r f a r m m a r k e t ings appear on p. 19 of the M a r c h 1957 issue of the SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS; monthly averages for 1929-38 appear in
the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Monthly data f o r
1946-54 are available upon request to the Economic Research
Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture;, those for 1955-56

marketings of a l l the commodities included in cash receipts
f r o m f a r m marketings, w i t h the exception of those f o r which
neither quantity nor p r i c e data are available. The monthly
estimates of sales of individual f a r m commodities used in
computing the estimates of cash f a r m income provide the basi c m a t e r i a l f o r calculating the index.
The index is based on marketings of about 150 a g r i c u l t u r a l
products which, based on 1950 prices, quantities, and values,
accounted f o r 97 percent of total cash receipts f r o m a l l f a r m
marketings. I t is calculated by the weighted aggregate method,
i.e., quantities f o r each year are m u l t i p l i e d by fixed prices as
weights; then price-quantity aggregates for individual periods
are expressed as percentages of the appropriate average
price-quantity aggregates in the base period (1947-49). A v erage prices f o r the period 1935-39 are used as weights for the
period 1910-39, while 1947-49 average prices serve as weights
f o r subsequent years. The 1910-39 price-quantity aggregates
based on the older weights were adjusted o r "spliced" to the
levels indicated by the newer weights on the basis of o v e r lapped calculations for the single year 1940.
Data on monthly marketings of some items included in the index are not available c u r r e n t l y , and i t is necessary to estimate
iponthly marketings f r o m estimated production, the n o r m a l p e r centages sold, and the usual seasonal movement to market. The
estimates are subject to r e v i s i o n as more complete data on m a r ketings become available.
The index of physical quantity of f a r m products sold and the
index of prices received by f a r m e r s shown on p. 33 provide
measures of the causes of fluctuations in cash receipts f r o m
marketings but do not measure exactly the movement in cash r e ceipts, and in some months changes in the indexes may seem
somewhat inconsistent. Such inconsistencies as may exist can
be explained in p a r t by the fact that although the marketings i n dex and the prices received index are comparable i n their commodity coverage, they are not comparable i n their weighting
systems. As previously stated, the marketings index uses 193539 average prices as weights through the year 1939, and 1947-49
p r i c e s thereafter. The p r i c e s received index is based on average quantity weights f o r three periods as follows: 1924-29 f o r
the period 1910-34; 1937-41 f o r the period 1935 to September 1952;
and 1953-57 for the period f r o m September 1952 to date. Prices
used in the p r i c e index do hot r e f l e c t loan rates of commodities
placed under CCC loan.. In addition, they represent U. S. prices
in which State prices are weighted by production rather than m a r ketings, and hence do not r e f l e c t seasonal variations among
States, which d o a f f e c t t h e m o n t h l y index of marketings. Another
source of possible discrepancy is the inclusion in cash receipts
of such items as forest, n u r s e r y , and greenhouse products
which, for lack of data, are included neither in the volume index
nor in the p r i c e index.
F o r a more complete description of the index see A g r i c u l t u r al Handbook No. 109, "New Index Numbers of F a r m Marketings
and Home Consumption," issued in July 1956 by the U. S. Department of A g r i c u l t u r e (annual indexes back to 1910 are shown
therein). Monthly indexes for 1946-54 are available f r o m the

in the physical volume or quantity of output of manufactures,
m i n e r a l s , and of e l e c t r i c and gas u t i l i t i e s . It r e f l e c t s output
changes at a l l stages within manufacturing and m i n i n g industries
(including intermediate as w e l l as f i n a l products). The index
does not cover production on f a r m s , i n the construction industry,
in transportation, or in various trade and service industries.
C u r r e n t l y , about 35 percent of the nation's total production i s
accounted for by the output of factories, mines, and e l e c t r i c and
gas u t i l i t i e s . T h i s i s the portion of the national economy which
i s d i r e c t l y represented by the i n d u s t r i a l production index.
Another 25 percent or more of the total economic activity i s i n volved in distribution of i n d u s t r i a l products and their use in the
construction industry. Altogether, i n d u s t r i a l production developments are d i r e c t l y and i n d i r e c t l y related to about t h r e e - f i f t h s of
the nation's economy.
The index includes production at Government arsenals and
shipyards (both Navy and private). Atomic energy manufacturing
activity i s represented beginning w i t h 1947. A number of groups
and subgroups include data for individual series not published
separately, e.g., the machinery and related products group contains the ordnance and accessories group in addition to the
groups shown. Production of certain types of combatjmateriel i s
included in m a j o r group totals but not in individual indexes such
as those for autos and some other products.
Since the index of i n d u s t r i a l production was f i r s t introduced by
the Board in the 1920's, i t has been r e v i s e d f r o m time to t i m e to
take account of the growing complexity of the economy, the a v a i l a b i l i t y of more data, improvement in statistical processing techniques, and refinements in methods of analysis.
The figures published in the present volume (and in the monthly
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS beginning w i t h the January
1960 issue) r e f l e c t the latest revision of the i n d u s t r i a l production
index, introduced by the Board i n the latter p a r t of 1959.
In the latest r e v i s i o n of the index, the coverage was broadened
to include u t i l i t y output of e l e c t r i c i t y and gas, and other new
series were added. Tlie revised index also provides new groupings of production series into m a r k e t categories, including a
division of the series between f i n a l products and m a t e r i a l s and a
subdivision of f i n a l products between output of consumer goods
and output of equipment (including ordnance) for business and
government use.
In addition to the new market groupings and expanded coverage,
the latest revised index r e f l e c t s the following m a j o r statistical
revisions: (1) Adjustment of series to levels shown by the c o m prehensive 1954 Census of Manufactures, annual Census surveys
through 1957, and other benchmark data; (2) development of a
number of new monthly series (index presently based on 207
monthly series); (3) refinement of interpolation procedures for
estimating monthly changes in industries represented by manhour
series; (4) revision of seasonal adjustment factors and development of new seasonally adjusted components, mainly for the
m a r k e t grouping of series; (5) adoption of the latest (1957) v e r -
205
BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION
sion of the Standard Industrial Classification for the industry
grouping of series; (6) selection of the year 1957 as a more r e cent and more appropriate base for weighting purposes for the
period beginning with January 1953 (individual series in the r e vised index have been combined w i t h weights based on valueadded p r i c e relationships in 1957); for the period January 1947December 1952, the 1947 p r i c e relationships have been used, as
they were in the 1953 revision of the index (for 1939 through 1946
for major divisions only, average valuations for 1939 and 1947;
f o r 1930 through 1938, 1937 weights; f o r 1923 through 1929. 1923 '
weights; and average 1919 and 1923 valuations f r o m 1919 through
1922); and (7) selection of the year 1957 as one of two reference
base periods (publication of index on the 1947-49 reference base
period is being continued by the Board for the revised total index
and its major groupings to p e r m i t ready comparison with other
general purpose indexes using that base).
Combining individual production series into group indexes and
the total index for any month since January 1953 involves three
operations: (1) Multiplying the relative for each series on a 1957
base for the given month by its 1957 weight (i.eo, proportion in
1957 prices) to get points in total for each series; (2) adding the
points to obtain aggregates for any group and the total; and
(3) dividing the aggregates for the month by their proportions in
1957 to obtain an index for any group and t i e total.
In combining the indexes for the period before January 1953, a
more complex procedure i s required. In step 1 a relative with
1947-49=100 is m u l t i p l i e d by the 1947-49 proportion using 1947
prices; in step 2 the points are added as above; in step 3 the aggregate points are divided by the aggregate proportion in 1947
prices; in an extra step an index w i t h 1947 weights obtained in
step 3 i s multiplied by a r a t i o for January 1953 of the 1957 to the
1947 weighted index.
Components of the index are adjusted for two kinds of s h o r t time r e c u r r i n g fluctuations^ i.e., for differences in the number of
working days f r o m month to month and for seasonal variations.
Beginning with indexes for January 1947, allowances for holiday
observances have been made in seasonal factors rather than in
working-day adjustments. Except for Easter, each of the p r i n c i pal holidays i s in the same month each year—January, May, July,
September. November^ and December. Reported product data
are converted to a daily average basis by adjusting for the number of working days in the r e p o r t i n g periods In these calculations
Saturdays and/or Sundays^ or half days, are regarded as nonworking days. No allowances for holiday shutdowns are made in
the ¥^orldng-day adjustment—consequently the effects of holiday
observances on monthly output are reflected in the indexes unadjusted for seasonal variationo No adjustment i s r e q u i r e d for
monthly series based on manhour data because they relate to a
p a y r o l l period in the middle of the month and are l i t t l e affected
by calendar variations.
The seasonal adjustment factors in the revised index have been
developed essentially by the ratio-to-moving-average method, as
f o r m e r l y (basic method described in Federal Reserve Bulletin for
June 1941). However, the work has been facilitated by the a v a i l ability of the Census Method I I p r o g r a m for seasonal adjustment
by electronic computero This p r o g r a m i s a mechanical version
of the ratio-to-moving-average method r e f e r r e d to above.
In this method the f i n a l seasonal adjustment factors are developed on the basis of monthly ratios of the o r i g i n a l data to a m o v ing average^ The moving average, which is essentially a p r e l i m inary seasonally adjusted series^ i s designed to incorporate the
trend and c y c l i c a l components of a time series and thus isolate
the i r r e g u l a r and seasonal movements^ In Census Method II the
average i s a weighted^ centered 15-month moving average of a
seasonally adjusted series based on r a t i o s of the o r i g i n a l data to
a centered 12-moeth moving average^ T h i s 15-month weighted
moving average was generally used as the p r e l i m i n a r y seasonally

Economics. Sales are estimated aggregate dollar values and i n ventories are estimated book values at the end of the year or
month. Business sales and inventories are here defined as the
sum of data for manufacturing and wholesale and r e t a i l trade.
These figures are s m a l l e r than the nonfarm business statistics
used i n gross national product computations by the amount of
sales (or revenues) and inventories for construction, u t i l i t i e s ,
and other nonindustrial sectors.
The t e r m "sales" as here used signifies essentially sales or
shipments for r e t a i l and wholesale trade and b i l l i n g s or shipments for manufacturing. In wholesale trade, however, some
respondents probably r e p o r t orders (bookings) as sales.
Trade inventories are valued at cost of merchandise on hand,
while manufacturers' inventories are, in general, valued at the
lower of cost or market p r i c e . About o n e - f i f t h of manufacture r s ' inventories are valued on a l a s t - i n - f i r s t - o u t (LIFO) basis;
the use of L I F O i s much less prevalent i n trade generally (though
i t i s used extensively by department stores).
Changes i n the book value of business inventories reflect movements of replacement costs as w e l l as changes i n physical v o l ume. In measuring inventory investment as p a r t of the gross national product, the data a r e adjusted to remove the effect of
changes i n replacement costs. (See explanation of "inventory
valuation adjustment" i n note 1 for p. 1.)
Monthly data p r i o r to 1957 f o r the manufacturers' sales and i n ventories segments of this series are available as follows: F o r
1955-56, the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS; for 1953-54,

inventories for January 1953 should read $43.9 b i l l i o n and manuf a c t u r e r s ' inventories, nondurable goods industries, for July 1953
should read $19.5 billion); for 1951-52 i n the 1955 edition; p r i o r

totals f o r the unadjusted series; data f o r inventories are end-ofyear figures, not averages of end-of-month data.
6 Data for wholesale trade sales and inventories for 1948 and
later years are not s t r i c t l y comparable w i t h e a r l i e r data. The
estimates were revised in 1957 to conform to the 1954 Census of
Wholesale Trade, w i t h 1948 data adjusted to the scope of the 1954
Census. The major change is the exclusion of establishments
with no paid employment. For comparative purposes, the 1948
monthly averages for wholesale sales and the December 1948
wholesale inventories on the old basis are as follows (billions of
dollars): S a l e s - t o t a l manufacturing and trade, 36.4; t o t a l wholesale trade, 7.9; durable goods establishments, 2.3; nondurable
goods establishments, 5.6; inventories—total manufacturing and
trade, 55.6; total wholesale trade, 8.1; durable goods establishments, 3.7; nondurable goods establishments, 4.4.
7 Data incorporate the new series beginning January 1951 for
r e t a i l sales, and beginning December 1950 for r e t a i l inventories;
they are not comparable w i t h e a r l i e r figures. F o r comparative
purposes, the 1951 monthly averages for r e t a i l sales and the December 1950 r e t a i l inventories on the old basis are as follows
(billions of dollars): Sales - t o t a l manufacturing and trade, 44.4;
total r e t a i l trade, 12.7; duratde goods stores, 4.4; nondurable
goods stores, 8.3; i n v e n t o r i e s - t o t a l manufacturing and trade,
62.8; t o t a l r e t a i l trade, 19.3; durable goods stores, 8.5; nondurable goods stores, 10.8., Information on the new r e t a i l sales and
inventory series is provided i n note 1 for p. 51 and note 1 for p.
55, respectively.

Sales are net, i.e., less discounts, r e t u r n s , and allowances,
and are adjusted for renegotiation of war contracts i n the relevant
years. The figures represent sales and receipts involved i n any
activity of a manufacturing company, including those activities
that do not pertain s t r i c t l y to manufacturing. They include sales
f r o m one manufacturer to another and, therefore, do not measure
changes in the net flow of goods f r o m the manufacturing industry
as a whole. Sales f o r export as w e l l as those f o r domestic use
are included. However, data are not included f o r foreign subsidiaries of the manufacturing companies.
Inventory data are book values of stocks on hand at the end of
the period and comprise purchased m a t e r i a l s , goods-in-process,
and finished goods. A l l inventories owned by a company are covered, including not only those located i n factories but also goods

EconomicSe Data for new and unfilled orders are dollar aggregates directly comparable with the sales and inventory series.
Unfilled orders were obtained by estimating the aggregate value
as of December 1947, and then computing the movements forward
and back f r o m that point. To derive the level, the reporting sample was stratified by industry and size in the same way as f o r estimating sales, and in each stratum, the sample ratio of unfilled
orders on December 1947 to sales f o r 1948 was applied to total
sales for 1948.
Th-5 sample of companies reporting orders data is s m a l l e r than
that Importing sales, because of the number of companies for
which new orders were equal to sales and also because of those
which have backlogs but do not report. Hov/ever, the current
sample accounts for nearly two-thirds of unfilled orders for a l l
manufacturing.
The month-to-month percentage changes in unfilled orders
shown by the sample were used to obtain the monthly movements
of total backlogs in each stratum. Net new orders were then
computed f r o m the estimated monthly sales added to the change
in unfilled orders.
Monthly data for 1953-56 appear in the 1959 and 1957 editions
of, BUSINESS STATISTICS; those for 1951-52, i n the 1955 edition
(correction for seasonally adjusted new orders for machinery,
including electrical: February 1951, $4,018 million). Monthly
unadjusted data for 1950 are shown on p. 23 of the December

Monthly averages for 1947-60 and monthly data for 1957-60
shown i n this volume are for 49 States (excluding the D i s t r i c t of

concern that is involved i n a court proceeding or a voluntary action that is l i k e l y to end in loss to c r e d i t o r s . " A l l i n d u s t r i a l and
c o m m e r c i a l enterprises which are petitioned into the Federal
Bankruptcy Courts are included i n the f a i l u r e records. Also included (but incompletely p r i o r to 1939) are: Concerns which are
forced out of business through such actions in the State courts as
foreclosure, execution, and attachments with insufficient assets
to cover a l l claims; concerns involved in court actions such as
receivership, reorganization, or arrangement; voluntary discontinuances with known loss to creditors; and voluntary compromises w i t h creditors out of court, where obtainable.
The series shown for l i a b i l i t i e s represent approximately c u r rent l i a b i l i t i e s (i.e., a l l accounts and notes payable, and a l l obligations , whether in secured form or not, known to be held by
banks, officers, affiliated companies, supplying companies, or
the Government). They do not include l o n g - t e r m publicly held
obligations. Offsetting assets are not taken into account. A r e l atively s m a l l amount of mortgages held by individuals is i n cluded p r i o r to 1934.
The f a i l u r e data shown in the table are for 48 States and the
D i s t r i c t of Columbia; they do not at present include figures for
Alaska and Hawaii. Data for a l l years shown herein and i n
e a r l i e r volumes exclude r a i l r o a d failures.
During the period for which data have been published, there
were two major revisions of the failure statistics resulting in
m a t e r i a l changes in the coverage between 1932 and 1933 and between 1938 and 1939, and also revisions in the industry c l a s s i fications , so that no data are available p r i o r to 1939 comparable
with the present series. Data p r i o r to 1939 (published in e a r l i er editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS) are qualified as follows:
Through 1932, the data include r e a l estate and financial companies; beginning 1933, the records are confined s t r i c t l y to i n d u s t r i a l and c o m m e r c i a l enterprises; they exclude, in addition
to r a i l r o a d s , such activities as banks, financial companies, holding companies, r e a l estate and insurance brokers, amusement
enterprises, shipping agents, t o u r i s t companies, transportation
t e r m i n a l s , etc. The revisions incorporated in the 1933 data r e duced the number of failures i n that year f r o m 20,307 to 19,859;
the l i a b i l i t i e s f r o m $502,830,000 to $457,520,000; and the failure
index f r o m 102.6 to 100.3.
The comparability of the data is affected between 1938 and 1939
by more complete coverage (beginning the latter year) of volunt a r y discontinuances with loss to creditors and of s m a l l concerns
forced out of business by such actions as attachment, execution,
or foreclosure, with insufficient assets to cover a l l claims. In-

elusion of the additional cases in 1939 increased the total number
of failures f o r that year by 29 percent and the c u r r e n t l i a b i l i t i e s
by 9 percent. (Monthly averages for 1939 comparable w i t h e a r l i e r
years, published i n e a r l i e r volumes, are as follows: T o t a l number of failures, 951; l i a b i l i t i e s , $14,017,000; f a i l u r e index, 53.7.)
Practically a l l of the additions were s m a l l concerns w i t h l i a b i l i ties under $25,000, and a m a j o r i t y of these had debts of less than
$5,000.
The classification of the f a i l u r e records by industries was r e vised, beginning January 1940, to conform to the "Standard Indust r i a l Classification Manual," i n o r d e r to facilitate d i r e c t comparison between f a i l u r e s and any other series of data based on the
same o f f i c i a l code. This revision resulted in the shifting of bakeries w i t h r e t a i l outlets f r o m manufacturing to r e t a i l trade. The
monthly average number of bakery f a i l u r e s t r a n s f e r r e d f r o m the
manufacturing to the r e t a i l group f o r 1940 was 14 and monthly
average amount of l i a b i l i t i e s , $65,500. S i m i l a r revisions have
not been made i n the 1939 figures f o r manufacturing and r e t a i l
trade which a r e shown i n i t a l i c s .
The f a i l u r e index relates the number of failures i n each month
to the number of i n d u s t r i a l and c o m m e r c i a l enterprises l i s t e d in
the Dun & Bradstreet Reference Book. It shows the annual rate at
which business concerns would f a i l i f the number of failures and
concerns l i s t e d i n that month prevailed f o r an e n t i r e year. The
index is expressed as the annual number of failures per 10,000
l i s t e d i n d u s t r i a l and c o m m e r c i a l enterprises.
The "unadjusted" figures have been slightly adjusted to equalize, insofar as possible, the number of working days i n each
month. Seasonal fluctuations have been removed in the adjusted
index by the method of deviations f r o m a 12-month moving a v e r age.

are based on prices (about the 15th of the month) received by
f a r m e r s for their products sold at l o c a l markets or at the point
to which f a r m e r s deliver their products i n their own conveyances
o r i n l o c a l conveyances they h i r e for the purpose.
The reported p r i c e s received by f a r m e r s are tabulated and
averaged by c r o p - r e p o r t i n g d i s t r i c t s . These d i s t r i c t averages
are weighted by d i s t r i c t sales o r production estimates to obtain
weighted State averages. The State averages are weighted by
State marketing o r production estimates to a r r i v e at national
averages.
In computing the subgroup indexes, the weights applied to the
U. S., average p r i c e s to obtain aggregates f o r individual commodity groups f o r 1910 through 1934 were average quantities
sold by f a r m e r s f o r the 6 - y e a r period, 1924-29; f r o m 1935 to
September 1952, weights are 5-year averages of sales by f a r m e r s during 1937-41; and f r o m September 1952 f o r w a r d , average
annual marketings f o r the period 1953-57. F o r livestock and
livestock products, calendar-year sales were used in computing
the averages; f o r crops, the corresponding c r o p - y e a r sales
were used.
F o r combining the various subgroup indexes into an a l l - c r o p ,
an a l l - l i v e s t o c k and livestock products, and an a l l - f a r m - p r o d ucts index, weights are percentages based on average cash r e ceipts of f a r m e r s ( w i t h adjustments to reflect imputed weights
f o r items not included i n the index) f o r the three periods, 192429, 1937-41, and 1953-57.
There are 55 commodities now represented in the index. These
items accounted f o r about 93 percent of the total cash receipts
f r o m f a r m marketings in 1953-57. Data f o r some commodities
a r e not available a l l the way back to 1910 (the earliest year f o r
which the index was computed). Thus s t r a w b e r r i e s were added
to the index in January 1'919, eleven c o m m e r c i a l vegetable cropg

f r o m the index as of January 1935 and green peas (for f r e s h use)
as of January 1949. Green peas f o r processing and asparagus

occur in the level of prices paid by f a r m e r s and their f a m i l i e s
for commodities and services used in l i v i n g and f a r m production.
In addition to commodities, the combined index (Parity Index) includes data for interest per acre on indebtedness secured by
f a r m real estate, taxes per acre on f a r m r e a l estate, and cash
wage rates paid hired f a r m labor.
Prices paid by f a r m e r s are compiled p r i m a r i l y f r o m data r e ported (1960) by about 37,000 independent r e t a i l merchants and
chain stores. For most groups of items, the data were collected
quarterly f r o m 1923 to 1936, annually before 1923, and monthly
f r o m 1937 to date. Most independent store surveys are made
quarterly, some semiannually, and others seasonally. Feed
prices, prices paid for chicks and poults, and chain-store reports
on nearly a l l f a m i l y living items are collected each month of the
year. Prices paid for individual commodities are estimated by
individual States, and then weighted by estimates of purchases of
the commodity by f a r m e r s in each State to obtain an average for
the country as a whole.
For the period 1910-March 1935, indexes f o r the several
commodity groups were constructed by weighting prices of i n dividual commodities by the average quantities estimated to
have been purchased per f a r m during 1924-29; f o r the period
M a r c h 1935-September 1952, during 1937-41; and f o r the period
September 1952 f o r w a r d , during 1955. The commcxlity-group
indexes have been combined into an index representing commod ities used in both l i v i n g and production, together with interest,
taxes, and wage rates paid hired f a r m labor, by weighting the
several group indexes in proportion to the percentage of total
expenditures represented by the commodities and services in the
corresponding groups in the respective periods o

The Parity Ratio is obtained by dividing the Index of Prices Received by F a r m e r s by the Index of Prices Paid, including Interest,
Taxes, and F a r m Wage Rates (Parity Index). It measures whether
the prices f a r m e r s receive for f a r m products are on the average
higher o r lower in relation to the prices they pay for goods and
services than they were in the base period, 1910-14.
Annual indexes back to 1910, and monthly and quarterly indexes
back to 1923, appear in "Supplement No. 1, A g r i c u l t u r a l Prices,
October 1960." A more detailed description of the last revision
of the indexes appears in "Supplement No. 1, A g r i c u l t u r a l Prices,
January 1959" and in the A p r i l - J u l y 1959 issue of " A g r i c u l t u r a l

described in "Supplement No. 1, A g r i c u l t u r a l Prices, July 1960."
A complete description of the major revision of the indexes in
January 1950 appears in the U» S« Department of A g r i c u l t u r e Handbook, No. 118, Volume I , entitled " A g r i c u l t u r a l Prices and P a r i t y . "

change in the l i v i n g costs of city wage-earner and c l e r i c a l - w o r k
209
er f a m i l i e s . It is calculated by comparing, f r o m one period to
the next, the cost of a " m a r k e t basket" of goods and services
usually purchased by this p a r t i c u l a r population group.
It should be noted that a 5-year revision program (which began
in June 1959) for modernizing the Consumer Price Index is under
way, with the January 1964 index scheduled to be the f i r s t in the
revised series. The circumstances necessitating the revision
and the o v e r a l l plans for the revision are outlined in the September 1959 issue of the Monthly Labor Review.
The quantity and quality of items contained in the market basket are held constant over the measurement period. The Consumer Price Index reflects, therefore, only "changes in p r i c e s " ;
it tells nothing about changes in the kinds and amounts ot goods
and services f a m i l i e s buy, o r the total amount families spend
f o r living, or the differences in l i v i n g costs in different places.
Data are compiled separately f o r the individual cities in which
p r i c e s are collected and are combined by population weights to
obtain the index f o r the United States.
The index is of the weighted aggregative type. When i t was
f i r s t issued in 1919 (with index data going back to 1913), the
t i m e - t o - t i m e changes in r e t a i l prices were weighted according to
expenditures of wage earners and c l e r i c a l workers in large cities
during 19r7-19o The index numbers as presently in effect utilize
the 1917-19 expenditure weights f o r the 1913-25 period; 1934-36
expenditure weights f o r the 1930-49 period; and the average of
the two sets of weights for the intervening period of 1926-29,
Weights f o r 1950-52 represent 1949-50 spending patterns, and
those used beginning January 1953 have been adjusted to 1952
spending patterns.
At three different times i t has been necessary to modernize
the samples and methods of calculation of the index and to b r i n g
up-to-date the " m a r k e t basket" of goods and services included.
Pending completion of the last major revision (completed in
January 1953), certain i n t e r i m adjustments were made in 1951
and the indexes were recalculated back to January 1950 (except
data for " a l l i t e m s " and " r e n t " which were revised back to Janua r y 1940 wherever necessary).
In the last m a j o r revision a new " m a r k e t basket" f o r the i n dex was developed, many important improvements in p r i c i n g and
calculation methods were introduced, and prices were obtained
f r o m a sample of 46 cities instead of 34 as f o r m e r l y . A l l features of this revision were incorporated into the index beginning
with data f o r January 1953. A continuous series going back to
1913 was obtained by linking (splicing) the new indexes beginning
January 1953 to the adjusted series through December 1952. The
revision beginning with data for January 1953 affected the adjusted series indexes previously published through December
1952 only to the extent that the base period was shifted f r o m 193539 = 100 to 1947-49 = 100 and a different classification of items
was used.
The description in the following paragraphs applies p r i m a r i l y
to the revised index for the period beginning January 1953, (For
details relating to the indexes through December 1952, see r e f erences given in the final paragraph of this note,)
The goods and services covered by the index are those cust o m a r i l y identified as "consumption" items. F o r the index beginning January 1953, about 300 items were selected for regular
periodic p r i c i n g . Detailed specifications are used f o r the 300
items so that, insofar as possible, prices are obtained f o r a r t i cles of the same quality in successive p r i c e periods. Revisions
in the individual specifications are made f r o m t i m e to t i m e , as
f o r m e r descriptions become obsolete.
The items covered are those which are relatively important i n
the spending pattern of moderate-income urban f a m i l i e s , which
are distinctive in p r i c e movement, and which are representative
of p r i c e trends of groups of related items. Among the important
additions to the p r i c i n g l i s t effective with 1953 are used cars,
home purchase and maintenance, and restaurant meals. Federal,
. State, and city taxes are added to the r e t a i l p r i c e s f o r the items
' on which they are imposed. Automobile taxes are added; p r o p e r ty taxes are included in the cost of homeownership, and i m p l i c i t l y
included in rental costs. Neither income taxes nor social securi, ty taxes are included.
The food component includes both food at home and food away
f r o m home (restaurant meals and other food bought and eaten
,away f r o m home). P r i o r to January 1953, p r i c e s for "food away
210
1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
f r o m home" were estimated to move l i k e p r i c e s for "food at
home," but since that date have been measured by p r i c e s for
restaurant meals. In May 1960, prices for 8 new food items were
introduced into the food component of the Consumer Price Index;
the p r i c e change f r o m A p r i l to May was reflected i n a l l 46 cities
by linking in A p r i l . (See the May 1960 f u l l Consumer Price Index
report for details of this change.)
The housing index measures changes in items of expense connected with the acquisition and operation of a home. (Detailed inf o r m a t i o n on the housing component of the Consumer Price Index
is available in the February and A p r i l 1956 issues of the Monthly
Labor Review: Reprint No. 2188.) Mortgage interest rates, a
segment of homeowner costs, are discussed in detail in the
October 1957 Monthly Labor Review: Reprint No. 2261.
The medical care index includes p r i c e s f o r three physician's
services (office and house v i s i t s , and obstetrical cases), seve r a l dental services, hospital room (private and semiprivate
w a r d ) , eye examination and eyeglasses, several drugs and p r e scriptions, surgeons and specialists, and group hospitalization,
(Detailed information may be found in the September 1957
Monthly Labor Review: Reprint No. 2251.) Surgical insurance
premiums were introduced in December 1958. In A p r i l 1960,
prices for 13 new prescriptions, reflecting current practices,
were introduced into the medical care component of the Consumer
Price Index. A l l cities were priced, to give effect to replacement
of the 3 f o r m e r prescriptions for r e l a t i v e l y simple compounds.
(See the June 1960 f u l l Consumer Price Index report.)
The p r i v a t e transportation index includes p r i c e s paid by urt)an
consumers f o r new and used automobiles, gasoline, motor o i l ,
t i r e s , r e p a i r s , insurance, and r e g i s t r a t i o n fees. City bus, streetcar, and subway fares, as w e l l as r a i l r o a d coach fares, comprise
the public transportation index. Parking fees, taxi fares, i n t e r city bus fares, and a i r l i n e fares are not priced. A l l of the items
in the private and public transportation subindexes, except used
car p r i c e s (which were introduced into the revised index in Janua r y 1953), have been p r i c e d for the index since 1935. Additional
information may be found in the August 1956 Monthly Labor Review (Reprint No. 2202). Beginning w i t h the November 1960 index,
p r i c e movements of 4 compact cars were added to the i t e m sample to represent passenger cars i n the Consumer Price Index.
Introduction was made by linking, i.e., the level of the index was
not affected by the difference i n p r i c e level between the 3 standard
size cars f o r m e r l y p r i c e d and the compact cars being introduced
(see November 1960 f u l l Consumer Price Index report).
Foods, fuels (including gas and e l e c t r i c i t y ) , rents, and a few
other items are priced monthly in a l l cities. Prices of most other
goods and services are obtained on a regular rotating p r i c i n g
cycle—monthly i n the 5 largest cities and every 3 months i n the
other cities. F r o m 1953 to 1956, prices were collected every 4
months i n the 16 smallest cities.
As previously stated, the quantity weights c u r r e n t l y used represent the average purchases of urban wage-earner and c l e r i c a l worker f a m i l i e s in the year 1952. The basic information for this
weight calculation was obtained f r o m the 1950 Survey of Consumer Expenditures in 91 cities, and f r o m surveys made f o r other
cities in e a r l i e r postwar years. The survey data were adjusted
to 1952 spending patterns by taking account of changes in prices
and income between 1950 and 1952.
Samples for the surveys included over 8,000 wage-earner and
c l e r i c a l - w o r k e r f a m i l i e s . The average f a m i l y size was about 3.3
persons and the 1952 f a m i l y income after taxes averaged about
$4,160. Many of the f a m i l i e s have two o r m o r e wage o r salary
w o r k e r s ; thus average f a m i l y incomes are higher than average
individual earnings. On the other hand, single w o r k e r s l i v i n g
alone, and f a m i l i e s whose 1950 total f a m i l y income after taxes
exceeded $10,000, were excluded. In 1952 the "index" f a m i l i e s
represented about 64 percent of a l l people l i v i n g in urban places
and about 40 percent of the total U. S. population.
Price changes for a l l items in each city are combined in accordance with their importance in the " m a r k e t basket" for that
c i t y . Price changes f o r the 46 cities are combined f o r the United
States with the use of 1950 population data. Each city is given an
importance or weight proportionate to the wage-earner and c l e r i c a l - w o r k e r population i t represents in the index. The 12 largest
cities, each weighted by i t s own population, when combined have
about two-fifths of the total weight in the national index. Each of
the 3 other c i t y - s i z e groups has about one-fifth of the total weight
i.e., the 9 other large cities, the 9 medium-sized cities, and the
16 s m a l l c i t i e s .
Comparisons of city indexes show how much p r i c e s have
changed in one city compared with another since the base period
1947-49. The city indexes cannot be used to measure differences
in p r i c e levels or i n l i v i n g costs between c i t i e s .
In December 1960, the r e l a t i v e importance of the m a j o r groups
of goods and services priced f o r the Consumer Price Index was
as follows: Food, 28.5 percent; housing, 32.7; apparel, 8.8;
transportation, 11.5; medical care, 5.7; personal care, 2.3; reading and recreation, 5.4; and other goods and services, 5.1 p e r cent.

1950-52 period, see the 1953 issue of BUSINESS STATISTICS.

indexes) appear in the 1959, 1957, 1955, and 1953 editions of

BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION
L a t e r transactions for the same i t e m at other stages in the d i s tribution cycle are not included; however, as raw materials are
transformed into semifinished and finished goods, these goods
are represented according to their importance i n p r i m a r y m a r kets. Most of the quotations are the selling prices of representative manufacturers or other producers, or prices quoted on o r ganized exchanges or markets. The index does not measure the
p r i c e movements of r e t a i l transactions, transactions for services
(except gas and e l e c t r i c i t y to nonresidential users), construction,
r e a l estate, transportation, and securities. Beginning January
1958, values for the commodity segment of the printing and publishing industry are included in the weight universe=
A general revision of the wholesale p r i c e index was completed
in early 1952„ The p r i n c i p a l changes f r o m the old series are as
follows: (1) Increase in the commodity coverage f r o m about 900
to about 1,900 items; (2) change in the basis f o r weights f r o m
average sales for 1929-31 to 1947 sales (through 1951, the index
weights for the old series were based on average sales i n the
years 1929, 1930, and 1931 for f a r m products, and on average
sales in 1929 and 1931 for a l l other commodities); (3) change i n
the base period f r o m 1926 to 1947-49; and (4) a modification of
the classification system^
The revised series was worked back to January 1947 and was
linked to the old series as of that date to provide a continuous
index. The "linked" series does not supersede the f o r m e r index
as the " o f f i c i a l " Federal Government series for the period p r i o r
to 1952. The only o f f i c i a l series are the f o r m e r series (1926=
100) through the end of 1951 and the revised series f r o m 1952
forward.
The prices used in the index through 1951 are the simple a r ithmetic averages of the 4 o r 5 weekly prices f o r each month;
each weekly p r i c e is that which prevailed on a specific day of
the week. Beginning 1952, the prices used are those which p r e v a i l on a particular day of the month — in most cases, Tuesday of
the week containing the 15th. Usually the prices selected are
f.o,b« production or central marketing points. Delivered prices
are included only when it is the customary practice of the indust r y to quote prices on this basis.
The weights used in the index represent the total net selling
value of commodities in the United States (including the value of
sales for export) for the producing and processing sector of the
economy. The weight universe also includes the value of imports
for consumption i n the United States,
The individual p r i c e series are combined into the index by
multiplying the value weight assigned each item by its current
price relative, and summing to obtain the current aggregate. The
current aggregates are totaled by product classes, subgroups,
groups, and a l l commodities. The current index for each of these
IS obtained by dividing the current aggregate by the appropriate
value weight in the base period.
Each commodity p r i c e series i n the index, as representative
of prices for a group of commodities, is assigned its own d i r e c t
weight (the value of shipments for sale of that individual commodity), plus the weight of other commodities i t was selected to
represent in the index. Weights for commodities not priced for
the index are assigned to commodities which are p r i c e d on the
basis of s i m i l a r i t y of p r i c e movements i f data are available for
making such determinations.
Effective w i t h data for January 1958, weights are based on net
selling value of commodities i n the year^ 1954 as reported i n the
1954 Censuses of Manufactures and Minerals Industries and data
furnished by the Bureau of Mines, Department of A g r i c u l t u r e , and
other sources. These values are f.o.b. production point and exclusive of excise taxes. Concurrently w i t h the 1958 weight r e vision, about 90 new items were added to the index, mostly i n the
machinery and metals groups, and 58 items were dropped because of declining importance in t e r m s of value of shipments;
only minor changes in classifications of commodities were made.
The 1958 weight revision leaves the concept of the wholesale
price index basically unchanged; special attention was given to
development of data on interplant transfers which are excluded,
as are m i l i t a r y products and goods sold at r e t a i l d i r e c t l y f r o m
producing establishments.
F r o m 1955 through 1957, weights are based on an average of
the dollar value of p r i m a r y market transactions in 1952 and 1953;
and f r o m 1947 through 1954, p r i m a r i l y on dollar value of t r a n s actions reported in the 1947 i n d u s t r i a l Censuses.
211
In addition to the new weighting structure introduced into the
index in January 1958, there has been a major revision of the gas
and e l e c t r i c i t y components of the fuel, power, and lighting mater i a l s group. Those series have been renamed "gas fuels" and
" e l e c t r i c power" to point up the break in comparability between
the f o r m e r series and the current series, now published on the
new base, January 1958 = 100. The gas fuels index d i f f e r s f r o m
the f o r m e r gas index i n several respects: (1) The new index is a
composite of two product class indexes, u t i l i t y gas (natural) and
a new series on liquefied petroleum gas (the f o r m e r l y published
gas p r i c e index consisted of only one i t e m , natural gas); and (2)
an improvement i n p r i c i n g m e t h o d - t h e p r i c e of gas was f o r m e r l y
represented by end-sale to i n d u s t r i a l users, whereas i n the new
series gas i s priced at point of purchase by pipelines, usually at
the wellhead, and liquefied petroleum gas is p r i c e d at point of
purchase at the processor's plant. Substantial changes were
made i n the e l e c t r i c power series. The f o r m e r series on elect r i c i t y was based on average realized prices of e l e c t r i c i t y
f o r sale to a l l users and included a heavy proportion of
residential sales. The new series i s based on c o m m e r c i a l and
i n d u s t r i a l sales only and p r i c i n g is in t e r m s of specified amounts
of power consumption by c o m m e r c i a l and i n d u s t r i a l users. The
new e l e c t r i c power series is based on b i l l s for two fixed k i l o watt-hour quantities to i n d u s t r i a l and c o m m e r c i a l users; it w i l l
respond to change in rates only and w i l l not be affected by v a r i a bles other than price, such as monthly variations i n type of consumers or d i f f e r e n t i a l rates for large volume consumption. F o r
a more detailed description of the new weighting structure and
the revised gas fuels and e l e c t r i c power series, see the BLS
monthly report, Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes, M a r c h 1958
p r e l i m i n a r y report.
It should be noted that a new weight diagram, incorporating
data on net selling volume of commodities in the year 1958, as
reported in the latest Census of Manufactures, Census of M i n e r a l
Industries, and other sources, w i l l be introduced i n the index i n
1961. A l l c o m m e r c i a l shipments originating in Alaska and Hawaii
w i l l also be included in the weights. This addition w i l l have l i t t l e
effect, because these values and prices of important commodities
were previously included as imports.
The wholesale p r i c e indexes by stage of processing ( f o r m e r l y
t i t l e d economic sector) show changes in commodity prices at
various levels of production and i n various sectors of the economy. These indexes p e r m i t m o r e effective analysis of the underlying and divergent movements of c;ommodity prices during p e r i ods of economic readjustment. The stage-of-processing classification comprises a l l commodities included in the BLS detailed
wholesale p r i c e index series; this classification supplements, but
does not replace, the regular classification of the wholesale p r i c e
index by product industry groupings. The p r i c e series used in
the stage-of-processing index are the same as those used for the
wholesale p r i c e index. Whereas the wholesale p r i c e index measures p'rice movements f o r individual commodities and groups of
commodities, the stage-of-processing index combines wholesale
p r i c e s in accordance with selected economic c r i t e r i a to facilitate
analysis of p r i c e behavior and the interpretation of widely used
indicators of the Nation's output, income, and spending.
The assignment of commodities to the various sectors is based
p r i m a r i l y on the amount of processing, manufacturing, o r assembly to which the commodities are subjected at various stages bef o r e they reach the ultimate consumer. Commodities in the i n dex are divided among three m a j o r categories: (1) Raw o r crude
m a t e r i a l s f o r further processing (approximately the same as the
f o r m e r l y published " r a w m a t e r i a l s " series); (2) intermediate
m a t e r i a l s , components, and supplies (roughly comparable to the
f o r m e r grouping of ''semimanufactured a r t i c l e s " ) ; and (3) finished goods (generally comparable to the f o r m e r series, "manufactured products," the p r i n c i p a l difference a r i s i n g f r o m the i n clusion in finished goods of many commodities not f o r m e r l y
priced).
Crude materials f o r f u r t h e r processing (such as raw cotton)
include m a t e r i a l s which are entering the economy f o r the f i r s t
t i m e , having undergone no processing other than that required to
obtain them i n their o r i g i n a l f o r m and prepare them f o r m a r keting. Intermediate m a t e r i a l s , supplies, and components are
those commodities which flow between manufacturing industries
before finally reaching the ultimate consumer after f u r t h e r
changes in f o r m ; included here are the subgroups, (1) supplies,
Z12
220 1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
which are those commodities consumed in the n o r m a l course of
production o r distribution of other goods but not physically i n corporated in those other goods, and (2) components, which i n clude products that are completely finished except f o r installation
o r assembly and not usually delivered to the f i n a l consumer without such installation o r assembly. Finished goods a r e commodities in their final state ready f o r use by the consumer; this gene r a l category includes producer goods (frequently called capital
equipment), i.e., those commodities used in industry o r comm e r c e to produce o r transport other commodities.
The basic weights used for the stage-of-processing indexes are
the same as those used generally in the wholesale p r i c e index.
In the classification by sectors many commodities must be considered as f a l l i n g into m o r e than one category; this has been
taken into account i n the r e l a t i v e importance imputed to each
commodity in each sector index. Wherever required, the base
weight for the commodity as used i n the wholesale p r i c e index
was distributed among the sectors on the basis of the percentage
distribution by end use derived f r o m BLS interindustry studies
for the year 1947. In December 1957, the r e l a t i v e importance of
the major groups for the sector index was as follows: Crude mat e r i a l s for further processing, 11.52; intermediate m a t e r i a l s ,
supplies, and components, 43.45; and finished goods, 45.02.
F o r a more detailed description of the stage-of-processing i n dexes, and monthly data f o r 1947-52, see BLS "Wholesale Price
Index Series—Economic sector indexes, January 1947-July 1955,"
issued October 1955 (available upon request f r o m the U. S. Department of Labor). Additional information may be found in the
U. S. Department of Labor Monthly Labor Review, December 1955.
In addition to indexes of wholesale prices by stage of processing, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has developed indexes by durab i l i t y of product, representing a new set of p r i c e index series
within the wholesale p r i c e program. Two of these indexes, nondurable goods and durable goods, are reproduced here. The durab i l i t y of product indexes supplement the economic sector indexes
by stage of processing, and embrace a l l of the series i n the total
wholesale p r i c e index. The assignment of manufactured commodities generally follows the industry classifications used by the
Federal Reserve Board in its index of i n d u s t r i a l production. F o r

1235 Quly 1958) and "Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes, 1958,"
BLS BuUetin No. 1257 (July 1959).
The Department of Labor also issues a weekly index based on
actual prices f o r a s m a l l sample (about 200) of the commodities
included i n the monthly index, and on estimates of the prices for
a l l other commodities. The current weekly indexes for aU commodities, f a r m products, processed foods, and " a l l o t h e r " are
published regularly in the Weekly Supplement to the SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS. The weekly index is computed as an estimated percentage change f r o m the latest published monthly index
and represents the best estimate of what the monthly index would
be i f i t were computed each week. The weekly index, however, is
not the o f f i c i a l index and i s not maintained as a continuous h i s t o r i c a l series. As soon as a monthly index is published, a l l weekly
indexes f a l l i n g in that month are superseded.

wholesale p r i c e index and consumer p r i c e index ( f o r m e r l y called
"cost of l i v i n g index"). These r e c i p r o c a l s are expressed as p e r centages w i t h the average of the base period 1947-49 inclusive

computed are shown on pp. 34 and 36.
Since the purchasing-power indexes are based on the r e c i p r o cals of the corresponding p r i c e indexes, percentage changes i n
the f o r m e r are not n u m e r i c a l l y equivalent to percentage changes
i n the l a t t e r . F o r example, i f prices r i s e o n e - t h i r d during a
period, at the end of i t they are 4 / 3 of prices at the beginning;
since the r e c i p r o c a l of 4 / 3 i s 3/4, i t i s obvious that a o n e - t h i r d
p r i c e r i s e results i n a one-fourth decline i n purchasing power;
o r i f prices at the end of a period are 2/3 those at the beginning,
then purchasing power at the end of the period i s 3 / 2 that at the

changes i n purchasing power between two dates, the simplest adjustment factor i s identical w i t h the percentage change i n the

methods. The methodology described belov/ applies to the c u r rent estimation procedures.
The new construction "value put i n place" estimates include
estimates tor additions and alterations. However, f o r private

units a d 3r additions and alterations are shown separately.
New construction covers the complete o r i g i n a l erection of buildings or structures otner tnan buildings, including the essential
service facilities and utilities. Additions and alterations cover
a l l s t r u c t u r a l changes or modifications as w e l l as the installation

Annual construction expenditure estimates for f a r m service
buildings are prepared by the Uo S. Department of A g r i c u l t u r e .
Sample surveys of f a r m construction expenditures in 1949 p r o vided benchmark data for that year. Estimates for subsequent
years are extrapolations, based on changes in f a r m income and
other relevant data since 1949. Monthly estimates are prepared
by the Bureau of the Census by fitting a trend line to the monthly
averages of the annual estimates for successive years. The
monthly values indicated by this Crend line are used to represent
the seasonally adjusted value put i n place estimates. The unadjusted monthly data are obtained by applying seasonal indexes
to the seasonally adjusted values.
Data for privately owned public u t i l i t i e s (covering construction
expenditures by r a i l r o a d s and telephone and telegraph, e l e c t r i c
light and power, gas, petroleum pipeline, and local t r a n s i t companies) are obtained f r o m cooperating organizations. These cooperating organizations are private companies, trade associations, and government agencies. Expenditure estimates for the
r a i l r o a d and telephone and telegraph categories are compiled
monthly by the cooperating organizations. Estimates for the
remaining public u t i l i t y categories are compiled annually.
Monthly estimates are prepared by the Bureau of the Census in
the same manner as described above for " f a r m service buildings."
Expenditures for State and locally owned public construction,
other than housekeeping residential buildings and highways, are
derived f r o m contract award data for the 37 Eastern States ( r e ported by the F. W. Dodge Corporation) and comparable data for
the remaining States compiled f r o m reports published by other
construction news publications. The award values are combined
to a national total and adjusted for the cost of architectural and
engineering w o r k and for other omissions in the basic data. The
adjusted monthly values a r e converted to "value put i n place"
estimates by using progress patterns.
State and local housekeeping residential construction expenditures are based on reports of the value of contracts awarded by
the various State and local housing authorities. The contract
award values for these categories of State and local construction
are adjusted for the cost of architectural and engineering work
and other omissions, and then converted to monthly estimates of
the value of work put in place by using progress patterns. State
and local highway expenditure estimates are based on data compiled by the Bureau of Public Roads.
Expenditure estimates for practically a l l types of federally
owned construction are based on reports compiled by the responsible Federal agencies.
Seasonal indexes for f a r m and privately owned public u t i l i t y construction were developed by the Department of Commerce about
1940, based on an analysis of the factors causing seasonal v a r i a tion, and have remained unchanged. For a l l other series, the i n dexes have been computed at the Bureau of the Census on i t s U n i vac computer, employing the method r e f e r r e d to as "Seasonaladjustment by method I I . " Seasonally adjusted values are computed for individual types of construction and the values for i n d i vidual types are combined as required to obtain t o t a l values.
Monthly estimates are published currently by the Bureau of the
Census in Construction Report, Series C30, "Value of New Construction Put in Place," which i s available on a subscription basis.

^ Beginning with figures for 1959 (in roman type), revised
"value put in place" data are presented which are not entirely
comparable w i t h data for e a r l i e r periods. These new data r e flect the following changes: (1) The revised, higher level of new
private housing starts announced by the Census Bureau i n May
1960 i n Construction Report C20-11 (Supplement); (2) the new,
higher estimates of the 1960 value of private residential additions
and alterations announced by the Census Bureau i n a May 16, 1961,
press release (comparable data for 1959 were estimated by l i n k ing the nev/ 1960 level to the level In the previous base p e r i o d ~

by the U. S. Department of A g r i c u l t u r e , take into account the i n formation on f a r m c a i s t r u c t i o n indicated in the new private

is excluded. Only a negligible volume of f a r m building is included, and force-account work is included only when executed w i t h
m a t e r i a l s earmarked for specific projects at the time of purchase.
Effective w i t h data for January 1956, the compilers expanded
the coverage of data f r o m the 37 eastern States and the D i s t r i c t
of Columbia to 48 States and the D i s t r i c t . (For comparative p u r poses, 1956 figures are shown here for both the 37 States and the
48-States series.) In addition to increased coverage, various
changes were made in compiling techniques and the series is now
t i t l e d "construction contracts" instead of "construction contracts
awarded," since not a l l commitments to build are covered by the
awarding of an o v e r a l l contract.
The changes in techniques affected p r i m a r i l y the data for total
construction, public and private construction, and residential construction. Figures beginning 1947 for the affected classifications
(except public and private) in the 37-States series, as shown
here, r e f l e c t the revised techniques and a r e comparable w i t h the
current series except, of course, in coverage; e a r l i e r figures
have not been revised and therefore are not comparable. In r e vising the residential statistics f r o m 1947 forward, information
on building p e r m i t s (issued by the U, S. Department of Labor)
was utilized.

Monthly data for 1956 (for 48 States) are shown in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS.

Construction Daily. Data cover heavy engineering construction
contracts awarded for public (Federal, State, and municipal) and
private projects in the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii
beginning with 1959). The published figures, however, do not r e p resent the value of a l l contracts let, but those above a certain
amount. According to the compilers, they probably account f o r
60 percent of the total new construction m a r k e t other than, s m a l l
residential. L a r g e r housing projects (both public and private),
apartments, and hotels are included. Maintenance and operation
expenditures are not included. There have been several changes
in the m i n i m u m - c o s t l i m i t of projects included, as construction
costs have declined or increased. The m i n i m u m cost of construction projects included for the years 1939 f o r w a r d is as follows:

The r e p o r t s 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.
The data shown here as monthly totals are combinations of 4and 5-week
periods. The reporting week ends on Tuesday, but in
computing the 4- and 5-week totals, the c o m p i l e r s have combined
the weekly figures on the basis of the weeks ended on Thursday
within the month. T h i s procedure results in some slight d i s t o r tion in the figures f o r certain months.

in e a r l i e r editions cover 4- and 5-week periods, except that
December figures include awards through December 31 and January figures begin January 1. Beginning 1947, the monthly figures
include weeks ended on F r i d a y nearest the end of the month. The
1939-46 monthly figures include weeks ended on Saturdays w i t h in the month unless a week ended on the 1st o r 2d of the month

February 3 and M a r c h 3, 1945, which were included in the p r e ceding month and August 1946 which ended on F r i d a y ) .
In analyzing month-to-month changes indicated by the data, account should be taken of the i r r e g u l a r r e p o r t i n g of various areas,
as detailed in the following paragraph. Also i t should be noted
that the monthly data beginning w i t h 1959 r e f l e c t m o r e regular
reporting of a l l States, w i t h the exception of southern part of
Idaho, South Dakota, and Alaska.
For monthly data through 1960, r e p o r t s were, in general, r e ceived only f r o m the States in which the Association has d i s t r i c t
offices., However, for South Dakota (with no Association office)

published in BUSINESS STATISTICS, the States (or parts of
States) in which the Association has no offices (other than South
Dakota) and f o r which data are included i r r e g u l a r l y are as
follows: Southern Idaho; Montana p r i o r to November 1952; p a r t
of Nevada; New Mexico p r i o r to 1950; Utah p r i o r to 1949; New

1949 and in 1954-58; Oregon p r i o r to 1949 and in 1958; and Alaska
(beginning 1959). Data for these areas are obtained once o r twice
a year and are not allocable by months. While the data are i n cluded somewhat i r r e g u l a r l y , they are f o r the most p a r t included
in the December figures; this accounts f o r the r e l a t i v e l y high a wards in that month.
In some instances the i n i t i a l yardage of an award is increased
o r decreased o r an award is rescinded some t i m e after the
award of the o r i g i n a l contract. Such changes reported to the
Association throughout the year are accounted f o r by increasing
or decreasing the figures f o r the month in which the reports are
received„ Additional adjustments for changes in yardage not r e ported c u r r e n t l y and other corrections which a r e not allocated by
months may be made in the annual figures when the d i s t r i c t offices adjust their final totals to yardage actually awarded. The
monthly averages shown here are based on these final annual
totals which d i f f e r in some cases f r o m the sum of the monthly
figures. Since 1941, adjustments included in the annual totals
have been r e l a t i v e l y s m a l l . F o r 1941 approximately 901,000
yards were added to total awards and 731,000 of this amount to

Bureau of Labor Statistics, Responsibility for estimates of housing
starts was t r a n s f e r r e d to Census in July 1959 and in early 1960
that agency issued a revised series for January 1960 forward, together w i t h approximately comparable monthly data for 1959.
The figures through 1958 published in this volume are f o r the
old series (compiled by BLS). F o r monthly data through 1959 for
the old series, see the M a r c h 1960 SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS. A descriptive note for the old series w i l l be found
in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS,
The following explanations pertain mainly to the revised series.
F o r purposes of the revised series, a housing s t a r t consists of
the s t a r t of construction on a new housing unit, when located w i t h in a new building which is intended p r i m a r i l y as a housekeeping
residential building and which is designed for nontransient occupancy. Start of construction is defined as the beginning of excavation for the foundation of the building. A housing unit is defined
as a single room or group of rooms intended f o r occupancy as
separate l i v i n g quarters by a f a m i l y , by a group of unrelated p e r sons l i v i n g together, o r by a person l i v i n g alone. Housing start,
as here defined, excludes the s t a r t of construction on group quarters (such as d o r m i t o r i e s , f r a t e r n i t y houses, nurses' homes,
rooming houses, etc.) and on transient accommodations (such as
transient hotels, motels, tourist cabins and courts, etc.). Also
excluded is the production of mobile homes (or house t r a i l e r s ) ,
which is not classified as construction.
Because of additional information and new methods developed,
the number of housing starts reported in the revised series is at
a significantly higher level than in the old and m o r e d i r e c t l y and
accurately measures month-to-month changes. Housing starts on
f a r m s and in Alaska and Hawaii, not represented in the old series,
are now included. The distribution of housing starts between
metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas is based on the revised
definitions of these areas as published in 1959 by the Bureau of
the Budget in "Standard Metropolitan Statistical A r e a s . "
Whereas the inclusion of housing starts on f a r m s and in Alaska
and Hawaii raised the level of the revised series as compared with
the old, the major change in level results f r o m more intensive
coverage of new construction in areas f o r m e r l y classified as nonp e r m i t and f r o m including more completely the construction which
takes place without a building p e r m i t in the areas where building
p e r m i t s are required.
As indicated above, the month-to-month changes in the revised
series are more accurate than in the old series, since current
monthly measurements of the time lag between p e r m i t and s t a r t
are now made. F o r the most part, the old series represented the
units that would have been started in a p a r t i c u l a r month i f the
time lag between p e r m i t s and the actual start of work found in
some past "survey period" had prevailed in the p a r t i c u l a r month
in question. It is to be noted, however, that the current monthly
measurement of the time lag between p e r m i t and start was begun
only in January 1960, so that for 1959 the new series, l i k e the old,
represents l a r g e l y a moving average of building p e r m i t s .
Pending further study and additional information, the seasonal
adjustment for the revised series is based on seasonal indexes
calculated f r o m the p r i o r series for housing starts. The seasonally adjusted annual rate for private starts (both total and nonfarm) has been derived by making a separate seasonal adjustment
of p e r m i t starts in each of four regions and of total nonpermit
215
starts, and then adding the five individual adjusted series. The
same seasonal indexes have been used for total and for nonfarm
startso F o r the old series, the seasonal adjustment was made by
applying a single seasonal index to the national total of nonfarm
starts.
For a more detailed description of the housing starts series
and differences between the revised and old series, as w e l l as
information on estimating methods, etc., see Construction Reports
(Housing S t a r t s ) - s e r i e s C20-11 (Supplement), issued in May i960
by the Bureau of the Census.

thereto, Business and Defense Services Administration and p r e decessor organizations. These data represent a combination of
various construction cost indexes weighted by the relative i m p o r tance of the m a j o r classes of construction. They are i m p l i c i t
indexes computed by dividing the total seasonally adjusted estimate of new construction activity in current prices by the total
expressed in 1947-49 prices. Since the total in 1947-49 prices is
obtained by adding the estimates for the separately deflated classes of construction, the composite cost index is the equivalent of
a variably weighted index, reflecting changes not only in the component indexes, but also in relative importance of the major classes of construction which are used as weights. In the computation
of the monthly composite cost index, the shift in the relative i m portance of the m a j o r classes of construction due to their d i f f e r ent seasonal movements is eliminated through the use of seasonally adjusted activity estimates. Beginning in 1945 the annual composite index is an average of 12 monthly indexes.
The cost indexes used for calculating the construction activity
series i n 1947-49 p r i c e s and thus entering into the composite i n dex are as follows: E. H. Boeckh and Associates (residential
building, except farm); The A m e r i c a n Appraisal Company (nonresidential building, selected types, and m i l i t a r y facilities);

Data cover building construction only and are computed by combining indexes of wages and m a t e r i a l s in the proportion of 40 percent
f o r the f o r m e r and 60 percent f o r the l a t t e r , which, according to
data collected in the Census of the Construction Industry for 1929,
1935, and 1939, is approximately c o r r e c t . According to these
censuses, combined labor and m a t e r i a l costs accounted for
around 75 percent of the total of a l l expenditures f o r building construction. Wages used in computing this index are for h o d c a r r i e r s and common l a b o r e r s combined, and the m a t e r i a l prices are
those f o r sand, gravel, crushed stone, portland cement, common
b r i c k , lumber ( a l l weighted equally), hollow t i l e (1/2), and s t r u c t u r a l and r e i n f o r c i n g steel (both together weighted 1/2). Wages
and p r i c e s are reported as of the 15th of each month by the 12
d i s t r i c t offices of the association located in Atlanta, Baltimore,
Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles,
New Y o r k , Philadelphia, St. Louis, and San Francisco. The value
of the m a t e r i a l items included in the index represented about 45
percent of the total cost of a l l building m a t e r i a l s used in 1929,
according to the Census of the Construction Industry for that year.

The reference base period selected assumes that 1926-29 average costs throughout the United States (not for individual areas),

Basic cost data on materials are obtained f r o m local buildingm a t e r i a l dealers, i n connection w i t h the company's c o s t - p r i c i n g

The construction cost index and the building cost index each
has four components, three m a t e r i a l items and labor. The mater i a l items f o r both indexes are: (1) The base p r i c e of s t r u c t u r a l
steel shapes, which f r o m 1913 (the ENR base period) through
July 1938 is at Pittsburgh only and since then is a 3 - m i l l average
f o r Pittsburgh, Gary, and Birmingham; (2) consumers' net p r i c e
of cement exclusive of bags, f.o.b. Chicago, f r o m 1913 through
June 1948 and since then is a 20-city average of f.o.b. bulk
p r i c e s ; (3) lumber, which in 1913 and through 1935 was 3" x 12"
to 12" x 12" long leaf yellow pine, wholesale, at New York, and
beginning 1936 is 2" x 4" S4S pine and f i r i n carload lots (ENR
20-city average). The labor component of the construction cost
index, which i s designed to show the movement of construction
cost in general, is the common labor rate, ENR 20-city average,
while the labor component of the building cost index is the ENR
20-city average f o r skilled labor. The labor rates are shown
herein on p. 78.
The component series are weighted according to their r e l a t i v e
importance as determined by the compilers. As a step in a r r i v ing at proper weights, the average production of steel and cement
i n the years 1913, 1916, and 1919, average production of lumber
f o r 1913 and 1916, and the number of common i n d u s t r i a l laborers,
according to the 1910 Census, were placed on a d o l l a r - v a l u e basis
using 1913 average p r i c e s as compiled by ENR wherever possible.

It should be noted that these data represent total production in
the United States and not amounts used i n the construction indust r y , According to the Engineering News-Record, they were used
as a guide, but the proportions of the items were adjusted to their
importance in the construction industry with the aid of e x p e r i enced construction men. An expenditure of approximately $100
on the four items i n these proportions was assumed f o r 1913 (the
ENR base period) and the quantities of the three m a t e r i a l s and
the man-hours of labor that could be purchased f o r these amounts
were computed. Purchases of s i m i l a r quantities of these four
items were assumed to be made at each successive period.

important factor.

The adoption of the 3 - m i l l average f o r s t r u c t u r a l steel shapes
in August 1938 did not necessitate any change i n the weighting of
this component.
In July 1948, when cement went off basing point p r i c i n g , the 20city average cement p r i c e was substituted; no adjustment in the
weight factor was necessary.
F o r the Southern pine lumber series p r i o r to 1936 the weight
was 600 board feet. In linking this series with the series f o r 2"
X 4" pine and f i r , the 1936 average value of lumber of the old
type as included i n the index was f i r s t determined (quantity
weight, 600 board feet times the average p r i c e f o r the year). The
equivalent 1936 average value of the new type was represented by
1,088 board feet of l u m b e r , which quantity i s now used as the
weighting factor.
BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION
The building cost index is computed i n the same manner as the
construction cost index, except that the skilled labor trend is
substituted for common labor„ Since the skilled rate is considerably higher than the common rate, a weight of 68038 man-hours
was substituted f o r the common labor weight of 200 man-hours
used in the construction cost index, as shown in the table above,
i n order to have the same labor component in the base period
when the rate was multiplied by the weight. The computation for
labor in 1913 for the building cost index is 68.38 x f 0.555, which
gives approximately $38,00e The trends of the two indexes r e flect the divergent movements of wage rates f o r common and
skilled labor; since 1932, rates for the f o r m e r have increased
m o r e rapidly than those f o r the latter^
The indexes are computed as of the f i r s t of the month and are

The composite index of output of construction materials measures changes in the combined output of 10 groups of construction
materials (data for 8 groups are compiled monthly and for 2
groups quarterly). The groups represented in the composite, in
addition to the groups shown here (i»e., i r o n and steel products,
lumber and wood products, and portland cement), a r e as follows:
M i l l w o r k ; paint, varnish, and lacquer; asphalt products; heating
and plumbing equipment; clay construction products; gypsum
products; and plumbing fixtures (data for latter 2 groups c o m piled quarterly)e The items used in deriving the composite index
accounted in 1947 for approximately 50 percent of the estimated
value of shipments of a l l construction materials.
The index for each group of construction m a t e r i a l s represents
the production, sales, or shipments of one or m o r e specific m a t e r i a l s , The source data consist of monthly or quarterly p r o duction, shipments, or sales for each item.. The monthly or

1947 p r i c e to provide the value of such a quantity of materials
had i t been produced or shipped in 1947. The resulting values of
a l l materials constituting each group are added together to yield
aggregates for the group» The aggregates are converted to index
numbers by equating the 1947-49 monthlv or quarterly average
to 100„
The seasonally adjusted composite index r e s u l t s f r o m the

for which monthly data are available; (2) a quarterly seasonally
adjusted composite series is derived f r o m the preceding series;
(3) a quarterly seasonally adjusted composite series including the

then calculated ; (4) the r a t i o s of the indexes in the 10-group
series (step 3) to their comparable indexes in the 8-group series
(step 2) are then used to adjust the respective monthly index
values of the series worked out in step 1.
The 8 monthly seasonally adjusted series are derived and
statistically evaluated by the electronic computer (UNIVAC)
method developed by the Bureau of the Census and modified by
the National Bureau of Economic Research. The electronic computer method provides a basis for more detailed analysis than i s
possible by the usual ratio-to-moving-average method. Its
significant features are: (1) The ratio-to-moving-average
technique i s f i r s t applied to derive a p r e l i m i n a r y seasonally
adjusted series (the procedure starts with ratios computed by
dividing the o r i g i n a l observations by a 12-month moving average;
moving seasonal adjustment factors are computed f r o m these
ratios, and a seasonally adjusted series is obtained by dividing
these p r e l i m i n a r y seasonal adjustment factors into the original
observations); (2) a graduation formula (a weighted 15-month
moving average) i s used as the estimate of the trend-cycle curve
used to obtain the final seasonally adjusted series; (3) a measure
of the i r r e g u l a r component of each series i s utilized to deter mine the type of moving average to f i t the seasonal i r r e g u l a r
ratios (the larger the i r r e g u l a r component, the larger the amount
of smoothing that is c a r r i e d out).

Section 203 was approved June 27, 1934, as part of the original
Act. No mortgages were insured under this section until Janua r y 1935.
The amendments of February 3, 1938, provided for the i n s u r ance of new home loans under Section 2. The f i r s t such loans

The amendments of A p r i l 20, 1950, provided for mortgage i n surance under Section 8 on houses for f a m i l i e s of low and moderate income, and for the insurance as single-family housing of
site-fabricated projects under Section 611 and of sales-type cooperative housing under Section 213. Mortgage insurance under
Section 8 was i n i t i a l l y reported i n August 1950 and the insurance

The annual indexes given for years 1939-60 are not based on a
simple 12-month average of the monthly indexes, since the accuracy of these monthly estimates is limited. The 1960 annual
index i s derived f r o m p r e l i m i n a r y dollar figures for the year;

average monthly expenditure for the p a r t i c u l a r medium under
consideration during the years 1947-49. Television i s based on
the average for the years 1950-52. Each monthly index i s seasonally corrected, the seasonal factors being determined by the
method of 12-month moving averages. Since the seasonal patterns are subject to change, they a r e recomputed annually on the
basis of monthly records of the p a r t i c u l a r medium during the
latest 3 years.
The business paper index is computed by converting page-volume figures to a dollar basis by means of a page-rate index computed f r o m a representative sample of business papers i n a l l

In order to insure proper weighting of the various components
in the general index, each classification i s adjusted to include a r t ,

compiled by N. C. Rorabaugh Co., Inc. Spot television advertising, as distinguished f r o m network, is defined as any television
activity (announcement, identification, participation, or program)
sponsored by a national or regional advertiser, selected and
scheduled on a m a r k e t - b y - m a r k e t basis. Regional advertisers are
defined as those w i t h distribution in two or more markets and are
determined by the cooperating station. Each c o m m e r c i a l is locally
originated, whereas network programs and commercials are cent r a l l y originated.
The expenditure data represent estimates of gross outlays for
time used by national and regional television spot advertisers
and are compiled f r o m two sources: (1) Spot activity reports
submitted by the cooperating television stations; and (2) the gross
one-time rates for these stations. The activity reports are converted to dollars by multiplying the one - t i m e rate by the time
used. The expenditure totals are not adjusted and include only
data for reporting stations. (Studio, production, and talent costs
are not included.)
Comparability of the series was affected beginning with data for
the 2d quarter of 1960, when a m a j o r modification in both the nature of information secured f r o m the reporting stations and i n
the expenditure estimating was introduced. Under the new method the broadcast day is divided into four t i m e classifications
(daytime, early evening, p r i m e nighttime, and late night), where as f o r m e r l y only three t i m e classifications had been used (daytime, nighttime, and late night). The general effect of the changes
made has been to reduce the total for estimated expenditures.
Totals for gross time costs on the " o l d basis," comparable w i t h
data for the 1st quarter 1960 and e a r l i e r periods, are as follows:

counting for the m a j o r portion of the sales of each k i n d - o f - b u s i ness group.
Effective with January 1960, the statistics include r e t a i l sales
in Alaska and Hawaii which, in 1958, according to results of the
Retail Census, accounted for approximately 0.1 and 0 . 3 p e r c e n t ,
respectively, of the United States total.
In 1951 a basic change in the method of estimating r e t a i l sales
was introduced. As a result, the "new" series which starts in
January 1951 is not comparable with the sales figures for e a r l i e r
periods. In early 1957 the new series was again revised back to
January 1951 to exclude data f o r m i l k dealers engaged in p r o cessing on the premises.
Census of Retail Trade data for the years 1929, 1933, 1935,
1939, and 1948 were used as benchmarks for the old series which
is available for the period 1Q29-1951. Sales estimates in the i n tercensus years after 1935 were based in large p a r t on changes
in sales-tax collections of 20 States. These States accounted f o r
about 40 percent of the total r e t a i l sales. Since data f r o m a l l the
States were not available over the entire period, and also since
the States differed in the degree of de.tail shown for the k i n d - o f business breakdown, the number of States used in d e r i v i n g the
estimates varied in different years as w e l l as f o r the different
sales categories. The sales-tax data were further supplemented
by special Internal Revenue Service compilations, business population trends, the Federal Reserve Board index of department
stores sales, and data f r o m the Bureau of Public Roads and the
A m e r i c a n Petroleum Institute on the taxable quantity and the a v erage p r i c e of gasoline.
The monthly estimates of r e t a i l sales for the period p r i o r to
1951 were derived f r o m the monthly movement of sales as r e ported to the Bureau of the Census by a constant sample of large
independent r e t a i l e r s and of chain stores.
Beginning with January 1951, a new procedure for estimating
r e t a i l sales d i r e c t l y f r o m sample data was introduced. The new
estimates a r e not linked to a Census of Retail Trade base as
were the old, a factor that accounts for most of the difference between the levels of r e t a i l sales f o r the year 1951 indicated by the
old and new series.
The monthly estimates c u r r e n t l y a r e prepared by the Bureau of
the Census f r o m a sample which, since A p r i l 1957, consists of
about 21,000 organizations controlling and operating about 115,000 r e t a i l stores. F r o m A p r i l 1957 to December 1959, the s a m ple included a l l organizations which operated 11 o r m o r e r e t a i l
stores in 1954 and a l l other stores with sales of over
million
in 1954. In early 1961 the sample was f u r t h e r revised, p r i n c i pally with respect to that portion of the sample covering organizations operating 11 o r m o r e r e t a i l stores, and the resulting
changes were incorporated in data f r o m January 1960 forward.
This revision consisted of changing the panel of 11 o r m o r e
stores to reflect the kind-of-business classification and number
of stores operated according to records of the 1958 Census of
Business (instead of 1954 Census, as f o r m e r l y ) . The panel of
organizations operating fewer than 11 r e t a i l stores was unaffected
except for the shifting of organizations and their units f r o m one
panel to the other.
A l l remaining r e t a i l stores (i.e., those with sales of under $5
m i l l i o n ) a r e represented by stores located in 230 Census sample
areas, generally consisting of combinations of two or three counties, were chosen randomly (with known probability of selection),
221
BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION
one f r o m each of 230 p r i m a r y strata. The sample within these
areas consists of (a) a l l stores located anywhere in the Census
sample areas which meet certain annual sales c r i t e r i a (these
stores report each month in the survey, (b) a l l stores located in
a sample of land segments (a subsample of the Census sample
areas called area segments) selected at random (with known
probability of selection) within Census sample a r e a s - i n igeneral,
these stores report only once a year since a different set of segments is enumerated each month, and (c) "special" segment
stores located in a l l 12 sets of land segments which have annual
sales over a specified amount (these r e p o r t each month). A l l
new stores, regardless of sales volume, coming into existence
susbsequently to the establishment of the sample, are enumerated when encountered in the segments. P r i o r to A p r i l 1957 the
sample was as described above with two exceptions: (1) A l l o r ganizations which in 1948 (instead of 1Q54) operated |11 o r more
r e t a i l stores were included, and (2) the
m i l l i o n annual sales
c r i t e r i o n was based on reported 1948 sales and was applied to
department stores only, whereas beginning with A p r i l 1957 a l l
stores with 1954 sales above $5 m i l l i o n were included, regardless of kind of business. The remaining portion of the sample
was approximately the same p r i o r to A p r i l 1957. ( F o r a detailed description of the A p r i l 1957 sample revision, see Notice
of Sample Revision in the Bureau of the Census Monthly Retail
Trade Report f o r A p r i l - M a y 1957; f o r a detailed explanation of
the revision made in January 1961, see Notice of Sample Revision in the Bureau of the Census Monthly Retail Trade Report
for January 1961.)
The estimates f r o m the sample of reporting f i r m s are derived
essentially by weighting the reported sales of each member of
the sample by a value dependent upon its probability of selectiono A more detailed description of the sample entitled "Description of the Sample f o r the Monthly Retail T r a d e Report,

The monthly estimates so derived are further adjusted for
seasonal factors and trading day variations by the Office of Business Economics.

^Sources: U. S. Department of Commerce, Office of Business
Economics and Bureau of the Census. These data represent estimated book values of nationwide r e t a i l e r s ' inventories. F o r
an explanation of methods of valuing inventories, see the 3d
and 4th paragraphs of note 1 f o r p. 20. Data for Alaska and
Hawaii are not included in the r e t a i l inventories series.
The data shown are estimates of inventories held at the
various kinds of stores and are not on a commodity basis. The
breakdown into durable and nondurable inventories is based on
the durability of the commodities accounting for the m a j o r p o r tion of the r e t a i l e r s ' sales. Thus nondurable items c a r r i e d by
r e t a i l e r s dealing p r i m a r i l y in durable goods would be reported in
durable goods inventories.
A "new" Department of Commerce series on r e t a i l store inventories supersedes the series previously compiled. The new
estimates are comparable in concept and coverage to the series
on r e t a i l store sales through December 1959. (For changes in the
r e t a i l sales series beginning 1960, see description of that series
in note 1 for p. 51.) The new inventory series begins with December 1950. The old estimates for 1938 through 1950 are based on
the Census of Business for 1939 and 1948 and are not comparable
w i t h the series described below.
Retail inventory estimates beginning w i t h the year-end 1950
u t i l i z e as benchmarks the data in the 1952 Annual Retail Tirade
Report of the Bureau of the Census. The sample of establishments f r o m whose inventory reports the new values for the
year-end 1951 and 1952 were derived consisted of oVer 100,000
establishments, each of which was chosen with a known probab i l i t y of selection. The estimates were derived f r o m this sample of reporting f i r m s by weighting the reported inventories of
each sample observation by a value dependent upon its probab i l i t y of selection.
M a j o r sources for the annual estimates p r i o r to 1950 are as
follows: Census of Business for 1939 and 1948 (providing yearend inventories f o r 1938, 1939,1947, and 1948); annual surveys of
the Bureau of the Census (for inventories of independent stores);
the Internal Revenue Service's Statistics of Income, Part 2 (annually 1938-50) for corporate year-end data; the Internal Revenue's compilations of noncorporate year-end data for 1938,
1939, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947; and Federal Reserve data on
department store stocks.
Monthly estimates are based on sample data reported to the
i Bureau of the Census and the Federal Reserve Board monthly
i data on stocks at department stores.

A f t e r the 1939 Census of Business the t e r m "chain stores" has
not been used as a Census designation. Organizations of two o r
m o r e r e t a i l stores engaged in the same general kind of business
and centrally controlled and operated a r e now designated as
" m u l t i u n i t s . " The sales of these multiunits are f u r t h e r broken
down into various groups of store units.
Effective with January 1960, the statistics include r e t a i l sales
in Alaska and Hawaii which, in 1958, according to results of the
Retail Census, accounted for approximately 0.1 and 0.3 percent,
respectively, of the United States total f o r a l l r e t a i l sales.
In 1951 a basic change in the method of estimating r e t a i l sales
was introduced by the Bureau of the Census. As a result, the
series beginning with January 1951 is not comparable with the
sales figures f o r the e a r l i e r period which a r e shown in i t a l i c s .
The series designated by the Department of Commerce as
" R e t a i l Sales of Chain Stores and M a i l - O r d e r Houses" is a v a i l able f o r the period 1929-51 and represents sales of f i r m s with
4 o r m o r e stores. The Census of Business data f o r the years
1929, 1933, 1935, 1939, and 1948 were used as benchmarks.
The values f o r the intercensus years after 1935 were based on
changes in sales of sample groups of organizations with 4 o r
m o r e stores. Sample coverage of the individual lines of trade
ranged f r o m 30 to 90 percent of total sales of such stores in
the year 1939. A detailed description of the sample and p r o cedures i s contained in the a r t i c l e " R e t a i l Sales of Chain Stores
and M a i l - o r d e r F i r m s " in the February 1944 issue of the SURV E Y OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
A f t e r 1951, the series representing sales of f i r m s with 4 or
m o r e stores was discontinued and superseded by a new series
beginning with January 1951. Because of sampling problems
that could not be resolved at that t i m e , the new estimates of
sales of multiunit organizations, when f i r s t released by the Bureau of the Census, related only to those organizations with 11
o r m o r e stores. The figures are not linked to the 1948 Census of
Business. The sample design f o r the 1951-55 estimates includes
a l l f i r m s which in 1948 had 11 or m o r e units; see note 6 below
regarding sample design f o r data beginning January 1956. A detailed description of the procedures may be obtained upon r e quest f r o m the Bureau of the Census. (Note that a new series on

comparison of the two series by months f o r the year 1951 i s p r e sented in the September 1952 issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. A f t e r the 1954 Census of Business became
available, estimates of sales of the 1 1 - o r - m o r e - s t o r e s group
were revised beginning with January 1956. The panel of f i r m s on
which the estimates are based was changed to cover those organizations which reported as operating 11 o r m o r e r e t a i l stores in
the Census of 1954; the kind-of-business classification and
changes in definition also conform to the 1954 Census r e p o r t s .
Estimates of sales on this basis a r e not available p r i o r to Janua r y 1956. No adjustment was made at that t i m e for f i r m s with 11

The index measures changes in daily average sales and, for both
the unadjusted and adjusted series, is computed by combining indexes of department store sales for the 12 Federal Reserve dist r i c t s described in note 3 following^ The component indexes are
weighted according to the relationship of total department store
sales in the d i s t r i c t to the total for the country as a whole in the
base period 1941-49.
The d i s t r i c t indexes are based on sample reports which in i960
included, for a l l d i s t r i c t s combined, approximately 1,900 stores
which were estimated to account for about 87 percent of total department store sales in the United Stateso Department store
sales in recent years have accounted f o r approximately 6 percent
of sales of a l l r e t a i l stores.
The indexes were revised since publication in the 1957 issue of
BUSINESS STATISTICS. The revision (made in December 1957)
covered data beginning January 1949 for most series, although in
a few instances revisions were also made in data f o r e a r l i e r
years. Principal features of the 1957 revision were: (1) Adjustment of the indexes to 1954 Census of Business benchmarks; and
(2) updating of the seasonal and Easter correction factors.
Minor changes include modification in the procedure for compiling the trading-day allov/ances and a recalculation of the weights
used in combining the d i s t r i c t indexes to obtain national sales
indexes. Seasonally adjusted data were f u r t h e r revised in June
1960 to reflect up-dating of seasonal factors.
Annual averages of monthly indexes f o r 1919-38 and monthly
data f o r 1919~48 (with the exception of scattered revisions beginning 1925) appear on p, 32 of the February 1952 SURVEY^
Monthly data for 1949-56 f o r unadjusted indexes (and scattered
revisions beginning 1925) appear on p. 19 of the July 1958 issue
of the SURVEY (revision for United States-November 1956,
169); monthly data for 1949-56 for seasonally adjusted United
States indexes appear on p. 20 of the January 1961 SURVEY.,
A weekly index of department store sales, available back to
the beginning of 1937, is also compiled by the Board of Governors, and is published r e g u l a r l y in the Weekly Supplement to the
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, This index, computed on
the basis of the 1947-49 average as 100, is based on a smaller
number of stores but shows changes closely s i m i l a r to those i n dicated by the monthly index. The weekly index is not adjusted
f o r seasonal variation, o r for the number of trading days. A
m o r e complete description of the weekly series is published in
the Federal Reserve Bulletin for A p r i l 1958.
3 Source: Computed by the Federal Reserve Banks for the
specified d i s t r i c t s , following a general methcxl worked out by
Federal Reserve System representatives. The indexes are based
on monthly reports of cooperating stores, including independent
and chain department stores and r e t a i l outlets (but not catalog
sales) of two large m a i l - o r d e r houses. The reporting samples in
196D were estimated to account for about 90 percent of total de-partment store sales in the Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis,
New Y o r k , and San Francisco d i s t r i c t s , and f r o m 80 to 90 percent
i n the six other d i s t r i c t s . The samples include stores in v i r t u a l l y
every department store trading area of importanceo
The m a j o r i t y of the d i s t r i c t indexes are computed d i r e c t l y
f r o m the daily average sales of the reporting sample, believed
to be representative of total department store sales i n the d i s t r i c t . F o r five of the d i s t r i c t s , the d i s t r i c t index is obtained by
combining separate indexes f o r various parts of the d i s t r i c t . F o r
tlie Atlanta and San Francisco d i s t r i c t s , individual city and area
indexes are combined; for Richmond, the combined index is obtained f r o m separate State indexes; and, for Philadelphia and
Minneapolis, f r o m a major city and an " a l l other d i s t r i c t " index.
In each case the component indexes are combined w i t h weights.
In computing the d i s t r i c t indexes, or the component parts of a
d i s t r i c t index, the monthly sales of the stores included i n the i n dex sample are summed, and these monthly totals are then d i vided by the number of trading days i n the month to obtain daily
average sales. The daily average sales are converted to index
numbers by dividing each by the dally average sales during the
base period 1947-49. Where necessary, this base is adjusted for
changes in the number of reporting stores. The indexes have
been adjusted to 1939, 1948, and 1954 Census levels where necessary. For a more detailed description of the indexes, see the
Federal Reserve Bulletin for December 1957.
Seasonal adjustment factors are computed by the method
described in the Federal Reserve Bulletin for June 1941. A spec i a l adjustment is made in the M a r c h and A p r i l seasonal factors
to allow f o r changes in the date of Easter. In most cases where
the total d i s t r i c t indexes are obtained by combining separate i n dexes for various cities or areas within the d i s t r i c t , each of the
component series is adjusted for seasonal variation before being
consolidated into a d i s t r i c t index.
In computing the number of trading days, Sundays, New Y e a r ' s
Day, M e m o r i a l Day (except in the Atlanta and Dallas d i s t r i c t s ) ,
Independence Day, Labor Day (except in the Dallas d i s t r i c t ) .
Thanksgiving, and Christmas are considered nontrading days.
Allowance is made also f o r February 22 in the Boston, New Y o r k ,
and San Francisco d i s t r i c t s .
For data through December 1954, special allowances were
made i n the relative importance of particular days i n the trading
week in the Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, Richmond, St. Louis,
and San Francisco d i s t r i c t s . Beginning with January 1955, the
sales indexes i n the aforementioned d i s t r i c t s have been recalculated to exclude this trading-day adjustment.
Annual averages of monthly indexes p r i o r to 1929 and monthly
data p r i o r to 1949 are available upon request; annual averages
for 1929-38 appear in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS.
Monthly data f o r 1949-56 (and scattered revisions beginning
1925) for unadjusted indexes for individual d i s t r i c t s appear on p.

The index is computed by combining d i s t r i c t indexes, compiled
by the respective Federal Reserve banks in cooperation with the
Board of Governors, on the basis of the relative importance of
the r e t a i l value of stocks in each d i s t r i c t in the base period (194749 = 100). The indexes are computed f r o m end-of-month figures
on r e t a i l value of stocks held i n the stores or warehouses, as r e ported by a sample group of stores. Most of the stock indexes
a r e based on somewhat s m a l l e r samples than the corresponding
sales indexes described in note 2 for p. 58. In 1960, r e p o r t s were
received f r o m around 1,500 stores, including a representative
number of r e t a i l outlets of m a i l - o r d e r companies, which accounted for about 80 percent of estimated total department store
stocks. The stock indexes have been tied to sales indexes which
224
1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
are adjusted to levels indicated by 1939, 1948, and 1954 Census
data.
Whenever necessary, because of a change i n sample, the base
of the index is adjusted for changes in the number of reporting
stores by a procedure s i m i l a r to that used i n the computation of
the index of department store sales. For a m o r e detailed des c r i p t i o n of the indexes, see the Federal Reserve Bulletins for
December 1951 and December 1957. The indexes are adjusted
for customary seasonal movements by the method described in
the Federal Reserve Bulletin for June 1951. It was found that no
special adjustment for the changing date of Easter was necessary as i n the case of department store sales.
Annual averages of monthly indexes f o r 1919-38 and monthly
data f o r 1919-56 appear on p. 27 of the May 1959 issue of the
SURVEY ( r e v i s i o n s of data shown therein a r e as follows: Unadjusted—May 1944, 58; seasonally adjusted—August 1950, 109;

CURRENT BUSINESS.
3 Sources: U. S. Department of Commerce, Office of Business
Economics and Bureau of the Census. The series represent estimated sales and inventories of a l l wholesalers in the United
States (exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii) and are based on the
definitions and classifications of the Censuses of Business (except as noted i n the following paragraph). The series for the
y e a r s 1939 to 1948 inclusive a r e based on the 1948 Census c l a s sifications and the 1939 Census data which have been recast to
conform to the 1948 Census. The series were revised f o r both
sales and inventories beginning with data f o r January 1948; these
revised series a r e not comparable with the old series f o r the
period 1939 through 1948 (see note 5 below). The revised series
are based on the definitions and classifications of the 1954 Census of Business with the 1948 Census data adjusted to the scope of
the 1954 Census. Groups of wholesalers represented in the
series a r e as follows: Merchant wholesalers (designated " s e r v ice and l i m i t e d - f u n c t i o n " wholesalers i n censuses p r i o r to 1948);
manufacturers* sales branches and offices; agents and b r o k e r s ;
assemblers (mainly of f a r m products); petroleum bulk stations;
and wholesalers' a d m i n i s t r a t i v e offices and a u x i l i a r y units f o r
which data were collected for the f i r s t t i m e in the 1948 Census.
The exceptions to the definitions and classifications shown in
the Censuses of Business are as follows: (1) Operations of c o r porate manufacturers' sales branches and offices and marketing
stations of petroleum r e f i n e r s have been excluded, since sales
and inventories of these branches are covered i n the manufact u r i n g series of the Office of Business Economics; (2) sales of
agents and brokers are included on the basis of actual receipts
of the agents and brokers rather than as the t o t a l value of
goods sold as reported i n the Census of Business.
Wholesalers' inventories are valued at cost of merchandise
on hand. Thus the data represent changes in costs as w e l l as
i n physical volume. In d e r i v i n g the gross national product,
these data are adjusted to remove the effects of changes i n r e placement costs (see explanation of "inventory valuation adjustment" in note 1 for p. 1).
The major sources of information used i n estimating statist i c s of wholesale trade are as follows: Census of Wholesale
T r a d e for the years 1939, 1948, and 1954; the Internal Revenue
Service's Statistics of Income, Part 2 (annually 1938-47), for
corporate data; the Internal Revenue Service's compilations
of noncorporate data on sales i n 1939, 1945, and 1947 and of
year-end inventories for 1938, 1939, 1944, 1945, and 1947; and
for monthly estimates, "identical f i r m " sample of merchant
wholesalers reporting stocks and sales to the Bureau of the Census. Beginning w i t h data for January 1956 the series are based
on estimates of dollar sales and inventory trends of the Bureau
of the Census, which represent a l l merchant wholesalers. These
data are adjusted by the Office of Business Economics to take i n to account the amount of trade of wholesalers other than m e r chant.
In addition to the sources named above, data were utilized f r o m
various other Government agencies (including the Bureau of
Mines, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the U. S. Department
of A g r i c u l t u r e ) and f r o m p r i v a t e research agencies. F o r a m o r e
detailed description of the sources used i n compiling the series,
see pp. 17 and 18 of the October 1951 SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS and p. 13 of the October 1952 issue; a description of
the revised series beginning 1948 appears on p. 31 of the August
1957 issue of the SURVEY..
Monthly data f o r the period 1939-50 a r e available upon request;
those f o r 1951-54 appear on p. 32 of the August 1957 SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS. The 1955-56 monthly data are shown in the
1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS.
^ D a t a for wholesale inventories are end-of-year figures, not
averages of end-of-month data.
5 Data for wholesale trade sales and inventories for 1948 and
later years exclude wholesale establishments w i t h no paid employment, and are not s t r i c t l y comparable w i t h e a r l i e r data.
For comparative purposes, the 1948 monthly averages for
wholesale sales and the December 1948 wholesale inventories
on the old basis are as follows (billions of dollars): Sales —
total, 7.9; durable goods establishments, 2.3; nondurable goods
establishments, 5.6; inventories—total, 8.0; durable goods establishments, 3.6; nondurable goods establishments, 4.4.

^ Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Data represent the latest published estimates for the specified dates. These estimates a r e based on the 1930, 1940, 1950,
and 1960 censuses, taken as of A p r i l 1 of these years; on s t a t i s t i c s and estimates of b i r t h s and deaths, provided by the National
Office of V i t a l Statistics, U. S. Public Health Service; statistics
on the movement of c i v i l i a n citizens and aliens to and f r o m the
United States, provided by the I m m i g r a t i o n and Naturalization
Service, Department of Justice; and data on the size of the armed
forces, obtained f r o m the Department of Defense. Census f i g ures were obtained by complete enumeration of the population i n
the United States (information generally being secured by p e r sonal interview) and relate to the area of the United States as of
the date of the estimate. Thus, the estimate as of July 1, 1959,
includes figures f o r Alaska and as of January 1, 1960, f o r Alaska
and Hawaii. The c i v i l i a n population of Alaska on January 1,
1959, is estimated at 179,000 persons and f o r Hawaii (September
1, 1959), 567,000 persons. The intercensal and postcensal estimates given here a r e consistent with the Census figures i n that
they imply the same general level of net understatement that
quite l i k e l y occurs in the censuses.
The figures f o r b i r t h s and deaths used in making these estimates include allowances f o r underregistration and f o r deaths of
m i l i t a r y personnel stationed abroad. The reported monthly f i g ures on nonimmigrant and nonemigrant aliens and on citizens
entering and leaving the country have been adjusted to eliminate
seasonal variation. (The reporting of data on nonemigrant aliens
was discontinued in f i s c a l year 1956-57; no allowance was made
f o r tl-ie net movement of nonimmigrant and nonemigrant aliens in
that year and later years.) In addition, figures on i m m i g r a t i o n
are supplemented by data on t r a v e l between conterminous United
States and Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, provided by the local
governments. ( F o r Alaska and Hawaii, these data cover only the
period p r i o r to statehood.) Data on such movements are not
completely reported to the INS.
Estimates relate to the f i r s t day of the specified month. Estimates in this series f o r months other than January and July a r e
not available except for the period January 1950 to date. Since
the postcensal estimate of the total resident population f o r A p r i l
1, 1960 (derived f r o m the 1950 Census count) differed by only
89,000 persons f r o m the f i n a l 1960 Census count, adjustments
were made to the f i r s t - o f - t h e - m o n t h data f o r the period August
1957-March 1960 to d i s t r i b u t e the e r r o r of closure; previously
published estimates for the period January 1950-July 1957 a r e
retained unchanged. Monthly data f o r 1950 a r e provided in the
1957 BUSINESS STATISTICS note; f o r 1951-56, use the 1955,

2 Sources: U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statist i c s ( f o r data beginning July 1959 and p r i o r to 1940); U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census ( f o r 1940-June
1959; thereafter compiled for BLS by Census). The estimates
are adjusted to the 1940 and 1950 census enumerations and are
derived f r o m a sample survey which provides the basis f o r a
comprehensive measure of the total number of persons 14 years
of age and over who a r e employed or unemployed and which also
provides data on personal and economic characteristics. The
sample information is obtained through household interviews
(conducted each month by Census) covering currently about
35,000 dwelling units and other l i v i n g quarters throughout the
country, selected by scientific sampling methods. The figures
beginning 1955 relate to the calendar week (Sunday through Saturday) ending nearest the 15th of the month (except f o r December 1960 data which r e f e r to the week ending December 10); estimates p r i o r to 1955 relate to the week containing the 8th day of
the month.
In preparing the estimates, the sample results a r e inflated to
independent estimates of the population derived by projecting the
results of the most recent census f o r which data a r e available at
the t i m e . The sample figures f r o m 1953 f o r w a r d were inflated to
population data based on the 1950 census, whereas those for 1952
and e a r l i e r years were inflated to population projections based on
the 1940 census. This change in the population base starting in
1953 had the effect of raising the population level by about
600,000, and the l a b o r - f o r c e level, total employment, and a g r i c u l t u r a l employment, by about 350,000; other categories were r e l a tively unaffected. Appropriate allowances should be made in
comparing the statistics f o r 1953 and later years with those for
the e a r l i e r period.
The statistics for 1953 have been revised to link the series
m o r e closely to the estimates f o r 1954, which a r e based on a d i f ferent sample introduced in January 1954 covering 230 areas
(both surveys covered 25,000 sample u n i t s ) . Data f o r 1946-53
were based on a sample which covered 68 areas (for 1940-45,
on a s m a l l e r sample). F o r the period May 1956-December 1959,
the estimates were derived f r o m an expanded sample of about
35,000 households in 330 areas; beginning January 1960, in 333
areas (with coverage in 50 States and the D i s t r i c t of Columbia).
Figures f r o m the 230-area sample can generally be used as a
continuous series with the data f r o m the 330-area sample. Data
beginning January 1960 include Alaska and Hawaii. The inclusion
of these States raised the level of the estimates as follows: Population, 470,000; c i v i l i a n labor force, 282,000; employment,
266,000; nonagricultural employment, 229,000« Unemployment
and a g r i c u l t u r a l employment estimates were affected only
slightly, hence these series and the unemployment rates can be
compared d i r e c t l y with p r e - i 9 6 0 data.
The population covered by these estimates, r e f e r r e d to as the
"noninstitutional population" 14 years of age and over, comprises
a l l civilians l i v i n g within conterminous United States and, beginning 1960, Alaska and Hawaii (except inmates of penal and ment a l institutions, tuberculosis sanitariums, homes f o r the aged, inf i r m , and needy, and—during 1942 to 1945—War Relocation
Camps) and persons in the armed services stationed either in the
United States or abroad. These estimates may not be fully consistent with other estimates of population published by the Census
Bureau. The inconsistency results in part f r o m the fact that
other estimates ot the population, published in reports specifically devoted to that subject, are revised as m o r e data relating to
b i r t h s , deaths, i m m i g r a t i o n , and other factors affecting population size become available. The estimates shown here a r e i n cluded p r i m a r i l y to p e r m i t computation of l a b o r - f o r c e rates and
s i m i l a r statistics and a r e not intended to be used as precise estimates of the population i t s e l f .
Definitions of the m a j o r categories within which the noninstitutional population IS classified a r e given below. It should be noted
. that revised definitions f o r "employed" and "unemployed" persons
225
were adopted beginning with data f o r January 1957. Two groups of
persons (averaging f r o m 200,000 to 300,000 per month in recent
years) f o r m e r l y classified as employed, i.e., " w i t h a job but not
at w o r k , " a r e now mostly classified as unemployed. Monthly averages f o r 1947-56 (except 1947 sex detail) as shown in this v o l ume have been adjusted to reflect these changes.
Labor force.—The c i v i l i a n labor force includes a l l persons
who are either employed o r unemployed, in accordance with the
c r i t e r i a given below. The total labor force also includes the
armed forces, for which monthly estimates are obtained f r o m off i c i a l records of the Department of Defense. The a r m e d - f o r c e s
figures include those stationed abroad. The total l a b o r - f o r c e
figures p r i o r to 1953 (as shown in BUSINESS STATISTICS beginning with the 1955 edition) have been adjusted to include some
150,000 members of the armed services stationed outside the
United States at the time of the 1940 census who were excluded
f r o m the series shown in the 1953 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS and e a r l i e r volumes.
Employed.—Employed persons comprise (beginning 1947)
those who, during the survey week, were either (a) " A t w o r k " —
those who did any work f o r pay o r p r o f i t , o r worked without pay
f o r 15 hours o r m o r e on a f a m i l y f a r m or business; o r (b)
"With a job but not at work"—those who did not work and were
not looking for work but had a job o r business f r o m which they
were t e m p o r a r i l y absent because of vacation, illness, labormanagement dispute, bad weather, o r because they were taking
time off f o r various other reasons. Each employed person is
counted only once; those who hold more than one job a r e counted
in the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours
during the survey week. P r i o r to 1947, the statistics also i n cluded in this employed group " ( b ) " persons on layoff who had
definite instructions to r e t u r n to work within 30 days of the date
of layoff—now classified as unemployed—and persons waiting to
report to new wage and salary jobs scheduled to start within the
following 30 days—now classified either as unemployed o r ( i f in
school during the survey week) as not in the labor force.
Unemployed.—Unemployed persons include (beginning 1947)
those who did not work at a l l during the survey week, and who
were looking f o r work. Also included as unemployed a r e those
who did not work at a l l during the survey week and (a) were
waiting to be called back to a job f r o m which they had been laid
off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job
scheduled to start within the following 30 days (and were not in
school during the survey week); o r (c) would have been looking
for work except that they were t e m p o r a r i l y i l l o r believed no
work was available in their line of work or in the community.
Not included in this category are persons who say they were not
looking for work because they were too old, too young, o r handicapped in any way. P r i o r to 1947, p a r t of group "(a)"—those
whose layoffs were f o r definite periods of less than 30 d a y s were classified as employed rather i:han unemployed, as were a l l
of the persons in group " ( b ) " . During the period in which public
emergency work projects were being conducted by the Works
Project Administration, the National Youth Administration, the
Civilian Conservation Corps, and State and local work r e l i e f
agencies (this period ended about June 1943), persons at work on,
o r assigned to, siich projects were also included among the unemployed. Of the two NYA programs, only the out-of-school p r o g r a m was considered as emergency work; youths in the NYA
Student Work p r o g r a m were classified as " i n school" and not in
the labor force.
L o n g - t e r m unemployed.—Number of persons unemployed 15
weeks or longer during which t i m e such unemployed persons had
been continuously looking f o r work o r would have been looking for
work except f o r temporary illness o r belief that no work was
available in t h e i r line of work or in the community. Persons on
layoff are included after 15 o r m o r e f u l l weeks since the termi*®
nation of t h e i r most recent employment. (Ten other periods of
duration of unemployment are presented in the source report.)
Not in the labor force.—All persons 14 years of age and over
i n the noninstitutional population whC' a r e not classified as employed or unemployed a r e defined as "Not in the labor f o r c e . "
The group includes (beginning 1947) a l l persons reported as
keeping own house, in school, r e t i r e d , too old o r permanently unable to work, seasonal w o r k e r s f o r whom the survey week f e l l
i n an " o f f " season (not reported as unemployed) and the volunt a r i l y idle. A l s o included are those doing only incidental unpaid
226
1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
f a m i l y work (less than 15 hours) during the survey week. Since
1947, the category " i n school" includes a snnall group f o r m e r l y
classified as employed (with a job but not at w o r k ) , namely, p e r sons attending school during the survey week who had new jobs to
which they were scheduled to r e p o r t within 30 days. Persons
(whether o r not attending school) who had new jobs not scheduled
to begin u n t i l after 30 days (and not working or looking f o r work)
a r e classified as not in labor f o r c e f o r a l l periods covered.
The estimates of nonagricultural employment obtained by d i r e c t
household interview d i f f e r appreciably f r o m those compiled by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics (p. 62) based on reports f r o m
business establishments. The differences a r e accounted for
p r i n c i p a l l y by the fact that the latter figures do not include domestic service w o r k e r s , the self-employed, and unpaid f a m i l y
w o r k e r s . The remaining differences a r e due to several factors
of which the most significant a r e (1) the BLS estimates, based
on employment and p a y r o l l s reported by a sample of business establishments, may include some persons under 14 years of age,
and some who, by holding two or m o r e jobs o r by changing jobs
i n the reported week, a r e counted m o r e than once; (2) both estimates a r e based on samples and thus are subject to sampling
e r r o r ; and (3) the household survey estimates include employed
persons t e m p o r a r i l y away f r o m w o r k , who w i l l not be reported in
the establishment sample by their employers during the c o r r e sponding p a y r o l l period unless they received pay.
Monthly data f o r 1941-56 (except f o r l o n g - t e r m unemployment
and unemployment rates; and with qualifications mentioned) w i l l
be found in e a r l i e r editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. As noted above, data
through December 1956, as shown in these e a r l i e r volumes, a r e
based on definitions in use p r i o r to January 1957, and data in v o l umes p r i o r to the 1955 issue do not include 150,000 members of
the armed services overseas. They also exclude detail by sex
f o r "unemployed" and " t o t a l labor f o r c e . " The series shown in
the 1953 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS exclude armed
forces. Figures shown in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS f o r M a r c h 1955 "noninstitutional population ( m a l e ) " and
f o r February 1955 " n o t - i n - l a b o r - f o r c e " should read 57,374,000
and 50,352,000, respectively. Monthly data (1947-56) adjusted
to the definitions adopted 1957 and f o r unemployment rates (not
seasonally adjusted) appear on pp. 22 and 23 of the A p r i l 1960
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS; monthly data (1947-56) f o r
l o n g - t e r m unemployment a r e available upon request. Seasonally
adjusted monthly data (1947-60) for the c i v i l i a n labor force and
components (including the rates of unemployment), reflecting a
revised method for seasonal adjustment, a r e available in the
"Monthly Report On The Labor F o r c e " (January 1961).
Monthly data are available only beginning March 1940 (figures

teachers (private and governmental) to be employed during the
summer vacation p e r i o d whether or not they are specifically paid
in those months. Persons who worked in m o r e than one establishment during a single r e p o r t i n g p e r i o d are counted m o r e than

In preparing employment estimates, the Bureau of Labor Stat i s t i c s establishes a benchmark or level of employment, r e p r e senting a complete count or an estimate w i t h a satisfactory degree of accuracy, which i s c a r r i e d f o r w a r d on the basis of
monthly r e p o r t s f r o m a sample group of establishments. E s t i mates prepared since the last benchmark a r e reviewed and r e vised i f any adjustment in the level i s required. The estimates
shown herein and in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS
have been adjusted to the f i r s t quarter 1957 benchmark. The
Bureau omitted the regular annual benchmark r e v i s i o n in 1959
and in 1960 and i s presently r e v i s i n g a l l series (back to January
1958), where necessary, to incorporate classification changes
r e l a t i n g to the adoption of the 1957 SIC Manual. The monthly
averages for 1960 as shown here were computed by the Office of
Business Economics.
Since 1939, the p r i m a r y source f o r benchmark m a t e r i a l s for
private employment i s the employment covered under the social
security p r o g r a m , as follows: (1) Employment in f i r m s liable to

Uo S. C i v i l Service Commission. The Interstate Commerce
Commission is the source for railroads.
The national estimates are not of u n i f o r m quality. Since " c u t o f f sampling rather than a probability design is used, i t is not
possible to calculate sampling v a r i a b i l i t y of the monthly e s t i mates» Some industries tend to have an increasing bias for the
successive months between two benchmarks. In general, e s t i mates for manufacturing industries are the most reliable. On a
current basis, average adjustment i s made through the use of
bias adjustment factors. Also, because the existence of new
f i r m s is not readily ascertainable, such f i r m s are frequently
introduced into the reporting samples after they have been in operation for some timeo The lapse of time in taking account of
new f i r m s produces a consistent understatemento T h i s bias i s
corrected in the periodic adjustments to benchmark data^ Approximately 180,000 industrial and c o m m e r c i a l establishments,
employing collectively about 25,000,000 w o r k e r s , now furnish
employment (and for most industries, p a y r o l l and man-hours)
schedules, by mail, to the State agencies for the BL^.
After publication of the 1957 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS
the employment and the hours and earnings series were revised
beginning A p r i l 1956 (except as stated below) to adjust to levels
indicated by the f i r s t quarter 1957 benchmarko Previously published data through March 1956 are comparable with the revised
series beginning A p r i l 1956. For the total nonagricultural, s e r v ice and miscellaneous^ and government industries, the benchm a r k adjustment affected employment data beginning January
1956. (Estimates on the revised basis were f i r s t published in
the July and August 1958 issues of the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS.)
Basic revisions for a l l series (including the adoption, for manufacturing industries, of the 1945 Standard Industrial Classification and the reclassification of reporting establishments according to annual sales volume of their major postwar product) have
resulted in a lack of h i s t o r i c a l continuity, p r i o r to 1947, for
some industrieso These data were f i r s t published in the October
1949 SURVEY and were more fully explained in the 1951 edition
of BUSINESS STATISTICS.
The methods and sources used in preparing the estimates are
described in detail in the monthly "Employment and Earnings"
report of the Bureau of Labor StatisYics, Estimates o f a l l e m ployees and of production w o r k e r s for over 200 mining, manufacturing, construction, trade, and public u t i l i t i e s industries, and

on an o v e r a l l basis for each m a j o r industry division w i t h the exception of the manufacturing, the transportation and public u t i l i ties, and the government divisions. For manufacturing, separate
adjustments have been made for the salaried w o r k e r s and the
production w o r k e r s by m a j o r industry groups. F o r the t r a n s portation and public u t i l i t i e s division, separate adjustments have
been made f o r transportation, communications, and other public
u t i l i t i e s groups; and, for the government division, separate adjustments f o r Federal and f o r State and l o c a l governments. The
seasonal adjustments have been brought in line with the Bureau
of Labor Statistics data for a l l of the m a j o r industry groups beginning 1939. Data relate to the United States, exclusive of
Alaska and Hawaii.
The monthly estimates have been r e v i s e d periodically to adjust
to m o r e recent benchmarks of actual employment. Since p u b l i cation of the 1953 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, revisions
have been made beginning 1939 in the finance, government, and
total nonagricultural divisions, and beginning 1945 in the service
division. Revised monthly figures are available upon request to
the compiling source. Published figures for the specified series
may be found as follows: Monthly data f o r a l l series for 195156 appear in the 1959, 1957, and 1955 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (revision for May 1951 f o r service, 5,237,000); 1949-50

manufacturing and trade are shown on p. 23 of the December
1950 SURVEY; monthly data for 1946 for mining, contract construction, and transportation and public u t i l i t i e s , on p. 22 of the
May 1950 SURVEY. Monthly figures for 1945 for a l l of the a f o r e mentioned series are shown in the 1949 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT.

earners) on p a y r o l l s of private manufacturing establishments,
who worked during,or received pay f o r , the pay p e r i o d ending
nearest the 15th of the month. The indexes of weekly p a y r o l l s
(p. 67) are based on the amount of p a y r o l l for the identical week,
as reported for production w o r k e r s in manufacturing and mining
and f o r construction w o r k e r s in contract construction. The
manufacturing series exclude governmental manufacturing operations such as arsenals and navy yards; these are covered in
the Government division.
"Production and related w o r k e r s " include working foremen,
and a l l nonsupervisory w o r k e r s (including leadmen and trainees)
engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, r e ceiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping,
maintenance, repair, j a n i t o r i a l and watchman services, products
development, a u x i l i a r y production for plant's own use (e.g.,
power plant), recordkeeping, and other services closely associated with the above production operations.
Effective September 1949, the production-worker employment
series was revised as explained in the 6th paragraph of note 1
for p. 62. The descriptions of the industries within the manufacturing division are based on the 1945 Standard Industrial
Classification, and generally adhere to the basic definitions.
The series shown here include a l l m a j o r i n d u s t r i a l groups, as
w e l l as three separate industries (motor vehicles and equipment,
a i r c r a f t and parts, and blast furnaces, steel works, and r o l l i n g
m i l l s ) selected f r o m over 130 manufacturing industries included
in the o r i g i n a l reports.
In preparing employment estimates, the Bureau of Labor Stat i s t i c s establishes a benchmark or level of employment, r e p r e senting a complete count or an estimate w i t h a satisfactory degree of accuracy, which is c a r r i e d f o r w a r d on the basis of
monthly r e p o r t s f r o m a sample group of cooperating establishments. Estimates prepared since the last benchmark are r e viewed and revised i f any adjustment in the level i s required.
Because the existence of new f i r m s is not readily ascertainable, they are not introduced into the monthly sample u n t i l they
have been in operation for some time. The lapse of time in
taking into account new f i r m s causes a downward bias. T h i s
bias i s c o r r e c t e d in the periodic adjustments.
Since 1939, the level of the employment estimates has been
determined mainly by employment covered under the social sec u r i t y p r o g r a m , r e l a t i n g to w o r k e r s covered by State unemployment compensation p r o g r a m s , and data f r o m the Bureau of OldAge and Survivors Insurance on employment in f i r m s exempt
f r o m State unemployment insurance laws because of their size.
Employment estimates for the individual industries and weekly
p a y r o l l indexes, as w e l l as data for the m a j o r groups and the
totals, have been adjusted to f i r s t quarter 1957 benchmark levels.
The Bureau omitted the regular annual benchmark r e v i s i o n in
1959 and in 1960 and i s c u r r e n t l y r e v i s i n g the data (back to Janua r y 1958) to incorporate classification changes r e l a t i n g to the
adoption of the 1957 SIC Manual. Averages for 1960 as shown
here were computed by the Office of Business Economics.
The current employment statistics p r o g r a m i s an integrated
Federal-State project which provides i n d u s t r i a l employment
information on a national. State, and area basis. Approximately
43,900 manufacturing establishments f u r n i s h monthly employment and p a y r o l l schedules by m a i l to the cooperating State
agencies. The States use the information to prepare State and
area series and then send the data to the BLS for use in preparing
the national estimates.

I Source: U. S. Department of L a b o r , Bureau of Labor Statistics. See the 6th paragraph of note 1 for p. 62 for a description
of the basic revisions made in the hours and earnings series beginning 1947. The hours and earnings estimates published herein
and i n the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS are as revised
to adjust to the 1st quarter 1957 benchmark for employment;
these revisions, affecting data back to A p r i l 1956, were f i r s t published by OBE i n the August 1958 SURVEY. It should be noted
that the source agency is c u r r e n t l y engaged i n a revision of e m ployment data (back to 1958) to more recent benchmarks and to
reflect adoption of the latest (1957) Standard I n d u s t r i a l C l a s s i f i cations; this revision may affect the hours and earnings data.
Gross average hourly and weekly earnings and average
hours per w o r k e r on payrolls of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing establishments are presently based on information r e ported by about 180,000 i n d u s t r i a l and c o m m e r c i a l f i r m s , e m ploying about 25,000,000 workers. Figures cover both f u l l - and
p a r t - t i m e employees who worked during, or received pay for,any
part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. The
230
1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
data for the series are reported on the same schedules as those
used to obtain employment and p a y r o l l information described i n
note 1 f o r p. 65. However, hours and earnings estimates are
based on a slightly s m a l l e r sample than that for employment e s t i mates because some establishments which r e p o r t employment do
not f u r n i s h p a y r o l l and man-hour information. The data are f o r the
United States, exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii, and relate to nonsupervisory employees and to production w o r k e r s only. The r e porting establishments are classified into significant groups on
the basis of product or activity as determined f r o m annual sales
data. The number of establishments reporting varies f r o m
month to month and the averages are therefore not s t r i c t l y comparable. Although counts of payrolls and hours for many of the
industries covered in the BLS p r o g r a m can be obtained f r o m v a r ious sources, these totals cannot be used as benchmarks, because
they vary w i t h respect to coverage and definitions. Benchmarks
are less necessary for the hours and earnings series since these
series are estimates of ratios of closely related f a c t o r s - - t o t a l
p a y r o l l , total employment, and total man-hours are highly c o r r e lated w i t h one another f r o m plant to plant.
Average earnings do not represent f u l l - t i m e earnings, since
they are based on data for both p a r t - t i m e and f u l l - t i m e employment. They include p r e m i u m pay for overtime and l a t e - s h i f t
w o r k and sick leave and vacation pay, but exclude special bonuses,
cash payments for vacations not taken, and other items not earned
and paid r e g u l a r l y each period. (See note 2 for this page relating
to average overtime hours worked, and note 4 for p. 75 for a v e r age hourly earning excluding overtime.) Earnings are reported
p r i o r to deductions f o r old-age, group, and unemployment i n s u r ance, withholding tax, bonds, union dues, and special clothing a l lowances. The number of hours reported represents hours
worked or paid f o r , including hours paid for holidays, sick leave,
and vacation taken; i f employees elect to work during a vacation
period, only actual hours worked by such employees are included.
When the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures
are reduced to a weekly basis. Since the workweek information
relates to the average hours f o r which pay was received, the
data d i f f e r f r o m standard or scheduled hours. F o r average
weekly hours adjusted for seasonal variation, see p. 71.
The average hourly earnings are on a " g r o s s " basis; that i s ,
they reflect not only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage
rates, but also such variable factors as p r e m i u m pay for o v e r t i m e and late-shift work, and changes in output of w o r k e r s paid
on an incentive basis. Also, the changing employment of w o r k e r s
as between relatively high-paid and low-paid w o r k affects the
general average of hourly earnings. The fact that large establishments predominate in the BLS sample may affect somewhat
the levels of the average earnings figures for some industries,
but this has no measurable effect on the trends in average hourly
earnings. Averages of hourly earnings should not be confused
w i t h wage rates, which represent the rates stipulated for a given
unit of w o r k or time, while earnings r e f e r to the actual r e t u r n to
the w o r k e r for a stated period of time. Owing to the exclusion of
i r r e g u l a r bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various w e l fare benefits, p a y r o l l taxes paid by employers, and of earnings
for those employees not covered under the production-worker or
nonsupervisory employees definitions, the average earnings ser i e s should not be interpreted as representing the level of aggregate labor costs on the part of the employer but they do indicate,
w i t h f a i r accuracy, the movement of such costs.
Average weekly hours for an individual industry are computed
by dividing the sum of the production- or nonsupervisory-worker
man-hour totals (reported by plants classified in that industry)
by the t o t a l number of production o r nonsupervisory w o r k e r s
(reported f o r the same establishments). S i m i l a r l y , average
hourly earnings are obtained by dividing the reported total p r o duction- o r nonsupervisory-worker p a y r o l l by the total production- or nonsupervisory-worker man-hours. Estimates for both
series for nonagricultural divisions, m a j o r industry groups, and
groups are averages (weighted by employment f o r hours and by
aggregate man-hours for hourly earnings) of the figures f o r component industries.
Gross average weekly earnings are computed by multiplying
gross average hourly earnings by average weekly hours. In addition to the factors mentioned above, which exert varying i n f l u ences upon gross average hourly earnings, gross average weekly
earnings are affected by changes i n the length of the workweek,
p a r t - t i m e work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover,
and absenteeism. Weekly earnings, although sometimes i n c o r r e c t l y termed "take-home pay," are not the same as the amount
that is actually available to w o r k e r s f o r spending, since no deduction has been made for income and s o c i a l - s e c u r i t y taxes, group
insurance, occupational supplies, and union dues.
The series shown in this volume include data for a l l m a j o r
manufacturing groups, f o r three manufacturing industries, and
for selected nonmanufacturing groups; for available monthly
averages p r i o r to 1939 and for 1951-56 monthly data for these
series (except as noted below), see the 1959, 1957, and 1955 e d i tions of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Monthly data f o r 1955-56 for
the total mining division appear i n the 1959 volume; monthly data
p r i o r to 1957 for insurance c a r r i e r s and seasonally adjusted
hours are available f r o m the compiling source. The monthly
"Employment and Earnings" r e p o r t of the U. S. Department of
Labor includes separate data for over 300 individual industries.
Continuity of the various series has been maintained on a monthly
basis as follows: Hours worked and hourly e a r n i n g s - b e g i n n i n g
1932 for total manufacturing, durable goods industries, and nondurable goods industries; weekly e a r n i n g s - b e g i n n i n g June 1914
for total manufacturing and beginning 1923 f o r durable goods and
nondurable goods industries. Monthly data p r i o r to 1947 f o r the
above-mentioned series are available i n the 1949 edition of
BUSINESS STATISTICS and e a r l i e r issues. Revisions (September to December 1946) of weekly and hourly earnings in a l l manufacturing and in the durable and nondurable goods industries a r e
provided in the descriptive notes in the 1957 and 1955 editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS.
The revisions described i n note 1 f o r p. 62 have resulted i n a
break between 1946 and 1947 in comparability of data for some
industries as noted. Data for the industry groups and the i n d i vidual industries of the manufacturing and nonmanufacturing d i visions (except as noted below) are available on the old basis
through 1948 in the 1949 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS and
e a r l i e r issues. Monthly hours and earnings data for the mining
division (1947-54), f o r insurance c a r r i e r s (1947-56), and f o r
seasonally adjusted hours (1932-56) are available upon request
f r o m the compiling source.
2 Source: U. S. Department of L a b o r , Bureau of Labor Statistics. Overtime hours are those for which premiums are paid
because the hours are in excess of the number of hours of either
the s t r a i g h t - t i m e workday o r the workweek. Weekend and holiday
hours are included only i f p r e m i u m wage rates are paid. Hours
for which only shift d i f f e r e n t i a l , hazard, incentive, or other types
of premiums are paid are excluded.
Since the concept pertains to hours worked at a rate higher
than straight time, it includes p r e m i u m hours worked even when
the weekly total is below 40. This may occur in industries where
the n o r m a l workweek is under 40 hours (such as p r i n t i n g or apparel) or where employment falls under the provisions of the
Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act of 1936, which requres (on
work done under Federal Government contract) the payment of
p r e m i u m rates when more than 8 hours are worked on any 1 day,
regardless of the weekly totaL On the other hand, hours paid for
at double time for holidays actually worked, when straight t i m e
is paid for holidays not worked, a r e not within the concept.
(Thus, i f an employee w o r k s on a paid holiday at regular rates,
receiving as total compensation his holiday pay plus s t r a i g h t time pay for hours worked that day, no overtime hours would be
reported.) Also excluded are hours worked beyond the n o r m a l
workweek which are not compensated at p r e m i u m rates. This
may occur in manufacturing under exemptions granted under the
F a i r Labor Standards Act.
Since overtime hours are p r e m i u m hours by definition, the
gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move
in the same direction f r o m month to month; for example, p r e m i ums may be paid for hours in excess of the s t r a i g h t - t i m e w o r k day although less than a f u l l week is worked, as noted above. D i verse trends on the industry-group level may also be caused by
a marked change i n gross hours for a component industry where
l i t t l e or no overtime was worked in both the previous and current
months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and
labor turnover may not have the same influence on overtime
hours as on gross hours.

2 Beginning January 1958, average weekly earnings for the banks
and t r u s t companies industry are not s t r i c t l y comparable w i t h
data through December 1957. P r i o r to 1958, the figures were
obtained by dividing p a y r o l l s by employment. Since average
weekly hours and hourly earnings for this industry have become
available, weekly earnings are the product of the hours and
hourly earnings figures. Weekly earnings for January-March
1958, comparable with figures shown through 1957, are as f o l lows: $65.56; $65.60; $65.53.
^ Average weekly earnings for insurance c a r r i e r s include both
home and branch offices of insurance and reinsurance companies
dealing in life, f i r e , marine, l i a b i l i t y , accident, health, and t i t l e
insurance, and in insuring financial obligations and mortgages;
also included are data for casualty, fidelity, and surety companies and miscellaneous insurance c a r r i e r s such as a g r i c u l t u r a l ,
automobile, burglary, and livestock, etc. Data exclude independent insurance agents and b r o k e r s and organizations rendering
insurance services.
"^Source: U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. These data eliminate only the earnings due to overtime
paid for at one and one-half times the s t r a i g h t - t i m e rate for
hours in excess of n o r m a l l y scheduled hours of either the
s t r a i g h t - t i m e workday or workweek. No adjustment i s made f o r
other premium-payment provisions—for example, holiday work,
l a t e - s h i f t work, and overtime rates other than time and onehalf. (Any overtime w o r k paid for at double-time rates would be
treated as i f i t were paid for at time and one-half rates.) A v e r age hourly earnings excluding overtime a r e computed ( f r o m January 1956 forward) by dividing total production-worker p a y r o l l
for the industry group by the sum of total production-worker manhours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. (See note 2 for
p. 68 for a description of overtime hours.) P r i o r to 1956, the
estimates were based on application of adjustment factors to
gross hourly earnings. Differences in the monthly data for 1956
using the r e g u l a r l y collected data on overtime hours instead of
the f o r m u l a are insignificant; therefore, the figures p r i o r to 1956
are considered comparable with later data.
In the "Employment and Earnings" r e p o r t , published by BLS,
data (beginning with January 1956) on o v e r t i m e hours and hourly
earnings excluding overtime are available for 21 manufacturing
industry groups.
Monthly data p r i o r to 1941 derived f r o m the adjustment factors
would not be s t r i c t l y comparable with succeeding data because
the e a r l i e r provisions of the F a i r Labor Standards Act for payment of overtime were different. Monthly data for 1953-56 are

movement of wage and salary w o r k e r s into and out of employment status w i t h respect to individual firms., A l l groups of employees, i.e., both f u l l - and p a r t - t i m e and both permanent and
temporary, a r e included. Personnel actions of each type are
cumulated on an industry basis and expressed as a percentage of
employment in the industry. Data are obtained each month f r o m
a representative sample of establishments by means of a m a i l
questionnaire.
F o r the period shown here, the reporting sample has ranged
f r o m over 5,000 to 10,200 manufacturing establishments; c u r r e n t l y ,
these f i r m s employ about 6,000,000 persons. The major indust r i e s excluded f r o m the sample are as follows: Canning and p r e serving; p r i n t i n g and publishing (since A p r i l 1943); women's and
misses' outerwear; and f e r t i l i z e r . The data represent a general
rate for each month f o r a l l manufacturing industries combined,
weighted by estimated employment in m a j o r industry groups.
Separate data for 91 individual manufacturing industries and 8
nonmanufacturing industries (in mining and communications) are
included i n the o r i g i n a l monthly report, "Employment and E a r n ings." The rates beginning 1943 relate to a l l employees, whereas
e a r l i e r data relate to factory w o r k e r s , or wage earners, only.
For the period covered, changes have been made in the definitions of some industries and i n the i n d u s t r i a l groups according to
the various structures used as a basis for determining coding of
industries. However, the comparability of the data w i t h previous
data for manufacturing as a whole (as shown in this volume) is
not affected.
' A b r i e f statement of the method of computation is as follows:
F o r each i t e m of labor turnover the total number of personnel
changes reported during a month by establishments in the sample f o r each industry is divided by the total number of employees
who worked during or received pay for any p a r t of the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month. The result so obtained
is m u l t i p l i e d by 100. For example, in an industry sample, the
total number of employees who w o i k e d during o r received pay
for the week of January 12-18 was reported as 25,498. During
the period January 1-31, in a l l the reporting f i r m s a total of 284
employees quit. The quit rate for the industry is:
284
X 100 =1.1
25,498
Labor turnover rates f r o m month to month are based on comparable but not necessarily identical samples. The rates for
each industry group a r e obtained by weighting the rates for each
component industry in proportion to employment in these industries. The rate for a l l manufacturing industries is weighted
by employment in the m a j o r industry groups. In compiling the
rates, the actual numbers for the several establishments are
added and the general rates computed f r o m the grand total. The
definitions adopted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the v a r i ous captions used in this table a r e as follows:
" T o t a l accessions" are a l l additions (permanent and tempor a r y ) to the w o r k force during the calendar month, whether of
new or r e h i r e d employees. Persons returning to work after a
layoff, m i l i t a r y separations, or other absences who have been
counted as separations are considered accessions. Data beginning January 1959 also include transfers f r o m another establishment of the same company and, therefore, are not s t r i c t l y comparable w i t h e a r l i e r figures.
"New h i r e s " are additions (permanent and temporary) to the
employment r o l l of persons who have never before been e m ployed by the establishment or company, or of f o r m e r employees
not recalled by the employer.
"Separations" are a l l terminations of employment during the
calendar month which last at least 7 consecutive calendar days.
(Persons on paid or unpaid authorized leave of absence are not
counted as separations u n t i l it is definitely determined that such
persons w i l l not r e t u r n to work.) Beginning January 1959, total
separations include transfers between establishments of the
same f i r m ; therefore, the rates are not s t r i c t l y comparable with
e a r l i e r data. Separations are further classified according to
cause—i.e., quits (or voluntary separations) and layoffs, d i s charges, and miscellaneous separations (collectively called i n voluntary separations). A f t e r December 1958, rates for d i s charges and miscellaneous separations (although included in total
separations) are not published separately.
"Quits" are terminations of employment during the calendar
month initiated by employees for such reasons as acceptance of a
job elsewhere, dissatisfaction, r e t u r n to school, m a r r i a g e , mat e r n i t y , i l l health, or voluntary r e t i r e m e n t (except on company
pension). F a i l u r e to r e p o r t after being hired and unauthorized

1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
absences of more than 7 consecutive calendar days are considered quits. Prior to September 1940, miscellaneous separations
are included w i t h quits.
" L a y o f f s " are terminations of employment during the calendar
month (lasting o r expected to last 7 consecutive calendar days
without pay) initiated by the employer, without prejudice to the
w o r k e r , for such reasons as lack of orders or m a t e r i a l s , conversion of plants, release of temporary help, introduction of
labor-saving machinery or processes, or suspension of operations without pay during inventory periods. A termination of employment w i t h definite instructions to r e t u r n to w o r k within 7
days is not regarded as layoff.
As stated above, t o t a l separations include, i n addition to quits
and layoffs, also discharges (for incompetence, etc.) and other
types of separations for such reasons as disability, death, r e tirement, or entrance into the armed services.
Month-to-month changes i n total employment i n manufacturing
industries as indicated by labor turnover rates are not precisely
comparable with those shown by the compiling agency's reports
on employment and payrolls, as the f o r m e r are based on data for
the entire month, while the l a t t e r , for the most part, r e f e r to a
1 -week period ending nearest to the middle of the month. The
turnover sample is not so extensive as that of the employment
and p a y r o l l survey (proportionally fewer s m a l l plants are i n cluded) and certain industries are not covered, as indicated above.
Plants on s t r i k e are not included in the turnover computations
beginning w i t h the month the s t r i k e starts through the month the
w o r k e r s return; the influence of such stoppages i s reflected,however, i n the employment figures. In addition, employment and
p a y r o l l reports relate to production and related w o r k e r s (wage
earners p r i o r to 1945) for a l l years.

times. Benefits were payable f i r s t in Wisconsin i n 1936 and i n
1936 and 1937 Wisconsin was the only State making such payments. By July 1939, a l l States were paying unemployment benefits, though the South Dakota agency suspended operations f r o m
July 28 through September 26, 1939.
The figures (except as stated below f o r the number of insured
unemployed persons) include operations in a l l States (including
Alaska and Hawaii) i n which benefits were payable, as w e l l as i n
the D i s t r i c t of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the V i r g i n Islands.
F o r the series on "number of insured unemployed persons," the
figures through 1960 i n this volume exclude data for Puerto Rico
and tlie V i r g i n Islands (note, however, that figures beginning
January 1961, published i n recent issues of the SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS, include Puerto Rico).
Beginning w i t h 1956, coverage of the unemployment insurance
laws was extended to include w o r k e r s in s m a l l e r f i r m s . A t the
end of 1960, w o r k e r s covered by State unemployment insurance
laws represented about three-fourths of the total nonfarm employment i n the United States. Individuals eligible for benefits
under the T e m p o r a r y Unemployment Compensation A c t of 1958
BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION
are excluded f r o m the series; amount of payments to beneficiaries
under TUC are given i n note 17 for this page„
Insured unemployment for a given month is the average weekly
number of persons f i l i n g claims for 1 or more weeks of unemployment under State programs during that month. The insured unemployment series i s derived by adjusting the number of weeks
of unemployment for the lag between the week of unemployment
and the time the c l a i m is filed, so that the derived series r e f e r s
to the week in which unemployment actually occurred. The
monthly figures are averages of weekly data adjusted for split
weeks in the month on the basis of a 5-day week„
The rate of insured unemployment (insured unemployment as
percentage of average monthly covered employment) is based on
covered employment for the most recent 12-month average
available. The lag for covered employment data may amount to
6 or 8 months. The adjusted series is adjusted by a r a t i o - t o - m o v ing-average method to remove the effects of seasonal changes^
Annual averages beginning 1959 are based on covered employment in December of preceding year; averages p r i o r to 1959
(except for 1954) on covered employment in the same calendar
year and for 1954, on average covered employment i n f i s c a l year 1954„
A direct comparison of insured unemployment statistics with
estimates of total unemployment (as published by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and shown on p.
61) cannot be made because of differences in coverage and definition. The main groups of workers excluded f r o m this series
on insured unemployment are agricultural, domestic service
w o r k e r s in private homes, employees of nonprofit organizations,
unpaid f a m i l y w o r k e r s , self-employed, most State and local
government workers, Federal c i v i l i a n employees, veterans, and
r a i l r o a d workers (see separate data for programs for latter
three groups). Also, most State unemployment insurance laws
exclude w o r k e r s in f i r m s w i t h fewer than four w o r k e r s , even
though such f i r m s are in a "covered" industry.
Not a l l of the unemployed f r o m covered industries f i l e f o r , or
are eligible f o r , State unemployment insurance benefits. State
laws are p r i m a r i l y designed to provide some replacement for
wage losses suffered through unemployment among w o r k e r s
regularly attached to the labor force. They require that, to be
eligible for benefits, a w o r k e r must have had a designated m i n i mum amount of earnings or employment (or both) w i t h "covered"
employers. As a result, the insured unemployed count excludes
new and p a r t - t i m e workers who have not had sufficient earnings
or employment to earn rights to benefits. In addition, a l l State
laws have disqualification provisions for the purpose of allowing
benefits only to those unemployed for economic causes.
It should also be noted that unemployed persons who have exhausted their benefit rights are not covered; in times of p r o longed unemployment, the loss of benefit rights could cause a
marked divergence between the trends of insured unemployment
and total unemployment. Claimants who have drawn the f i n a l
weekly benefit payment to which they were entitled in a given
benefit year, under provisions of the State unemployment i n surance laws, are as follows:

An " i n i t i a l c l a i m " is the f i r s t c l a i m i n a benefit year f i l e d by a
worker after losing his job, o r the f i r s t c l a i m filed at the beginning of a second or subsequent period of unemployment i n the
same benefit year. A "benefit y e a r " is usually a 1 -year or a
52-week period within which a w o r k e r may receive his annual
benefits, i f eligible. I n i t i a l claims as such do not result in benefit
payments but are just the f i r s t step in the process; i.e., they establ i s h the starting date for any insured unemployment which may
result i f the claimant is unemployed for 1 week or longer. The
data through 1949 for i n i t i a l claims include transitional claims
(i.e., claims f i l e d by a person, already i n a claimant status, for
determination of benefit rights in a new benefit year). Effective
w i t h data for 1950, transitional claims are excluded and the data,
therefore, represent more closely instances of new unemployment. (Note that the figures in the 1953 edition of BUSINESS
STATISTICS include transitional claims for a l l years.)
F o r number of beneficiaries, monthly data represent the a v e r age weekly number of beneficiaries, computed f r o m weeks compensated in the calendar month; the annual averages represent
the average weekly number based on weeks compensated i n the
calendar year rather than averages of the monthly figures. See
also note 14 for this page.
Monthly figures for amount of benefit payments are unadjusted
for voided benefit checks and transfers under the interstate combined-wage plan; monthly averages are based on net amounts adjusted to exclude such items.

Data for the period September 1944 through 1951 relate to the
unemployment program under the Servicemen's Readjustment Act
of 1944 and operating in a l l States, the D i s t r i c t of Columbia,
Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Effective September 9, 1944,
readjustment allowances were available to veterans of World War
I I having been in active service for at least 90 days, or less i f
discharged or released f r o m active service because of an i n j u r y
i n c u r r e d in line of duty, and who were discharged under conditions
other than dishonorable. Allowances were payable to veterans
who were either unemployed or self-employed. (It should be noted,
however, that data shown here for i n i t i a l claims and average
weekly number of beneficiaries relate only to unemployed
veterans.) The maximum allowance for any week of total unemployment was $ 20, payable f o r a maximum of 52 weeks o r less

according to length of service. A f t e r July 1949, most veterans
became ineligible for allowances under the aforementioned Act.
A self-employed veteran was eligible for an allowance i f his net
earnings during the month were less than $ 100.
Data for 1952-58 relate to the p r o g r a m under the Veterans'
Readjustment Assistance A c t of 1952 (effective October 15, 1952)
which provided funds f o r unemployment benefit payments to
eligible unemployed veterans who had service on or after June 27,
1950 (chiefly veterans of the Korea campaign). This p r o g r a m was
financed w i t h Federal funds and was administered by a l l States
(including Alaska and Hawaii), Puerto Rico, V i r g i n Islands, and
D i s t r i c t of Columbia.
A veteran eligible under T i t l e IV of the Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1952 was entitled to receive $26 for each
week of total unemployment u n t i l a maximum of $ 676 had been
paid. I f a veteran had benefit rights under the State Unemployment Compensation Law or a Railroad Unemployment Insurance
Law, he had to exhaust those benefits before being eligible to
receive T i t l e IV payments; or i f his benefit rights under those
Acts were less than $26 per week, he was entitled to a supplement to make up the difference between his State benefit right and
the $ 26. I f a veteran received less than $ 26 per week under this
p r o g r a m (either as a supplement to other benefits or for p a r t i a l
unemployment) he was entitled to benefits, i f otherwise eligible,
f o r more than 26 weeks, i.e., u n t i l the maximum of $676 had been
received.
Data f o r " i n i t i a l c l a i m s " under the VRA (as w e l l as under the
E x - s e r v i c e m e n ' s Unemployment Compensation Act, effective
October 27, 1958) relate to the f i r s t c l a i m f i l e d by a veteran f o l lowing his discharge f r o m the armed services and to additional
claims (those f i l e d i n a second or subsequent period of unemployment). No waiting period i s required. To avoid duplicate counting, the figures for i n i t i a l claims and insured unemployment exclude claims f r o m veterans which were f i l e d to supplement benef i t s under State or r a i l r o a d unemployment insurance programs
(see data shown separately). The number of beneficiaries and the
amount of payments include a l l veterans who received unemployment compensation payments under the VRA Act of 1952, whether
or not the payments supplemented benefits under either State or
r a i l r o a d insurance programs.
Data f o r 1959 and 1960 relate to the p r o g r a m under the " E x Servicemen's Unemployment Compensation A c t of 1958," effective October 27, 1958. This amendment to T i t l e XV of the Social
Security Act i s to provide a permanent unemployment insurance
p r o g r a m for released servicemen who do not have veteran status.
(Title IV of the Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1952
provided a special and temporary program of unemployment compensation f o r Korea veterans. Those benefits, however, were
available only to individuals who entered m i l i t a r y service before
February 1, 1955; benefit rights for a l l veterans under that p r o g r a m were terminated January 31, 1960). E x - s e r v i c e m e n who had
a period of service that began after July 31, 1955, and those who
entered the armed services before February 1, 1955, and were
separated after October 27, 1958, are eligible under the UCX p r o gram. F o r a l l items, the figures exclude information relating to
beneficiaries who have claimed benefits jointly w i t h other p r o grams.
The amount and duration of benefits under the UCX program
are determined in the same manner as those for claimants who
had worked in private industry under the State UI programs.
(Under the UCV program, both the weekly benefit amount and
duration of benefits were u n i f o r m i n a l l States--$26 and 26 weeks,
respectively.) Monthly figures for "amount of payments" a r e
gross and are not adjusted for voided checks; the monthly a v e r ages, however, represent "net" payments.

Data represent the condition of the 12 Federal Reserve banks
combined, as reported at the end of the month.
In addition to total Reserve bank credit outstanding and gold
certificate reserves, total assets include Federal Reserve notes
of other banks, other cash, bank premises and other assets, and
deferred availability cash items. T o t a l Reserve bank credit outstanding also includes the following items not shown separately:
Amounts due f r o m foreign banks, i n d u s t r i a l loans, acceptances,
and Reserve bank float (i.e., uncollected cash items minus def e r r e d availability cash items).
The composition of reserves has v a r i e d w i t h changes i n the
law. Effective June 12, 1945, only gold certificates have been
eligible as reserves. P r i o r thereto, cash was reported i n total
reserves. However, the figures for reserves as shown herein,
for the entire period covered (1939 forward), are for gold c e r tificate reserves only, comprising the gold certificate account
and the redemption fund for F. R. notes. (For year-end figures
1935-44 and monthly data 1941-May 1945 for total reserves, i n cluding cash, see the 1947 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT, p. 72.)
T o t a l l i a b i l i t i e s include—in addition to deposits and Federal
Reserve notes—deferred availability cash items, other l i a b i l i t i e s
and accrued dividends, and capital accounts. T o t a l deposits,
which are mainly member-bank reserve accounts, also include
the U. S. T r e a s u r e r ' s general account and foreign and other deposits.
Federal Reserve notes constitute the m a j o r part of the count r y ' s circulating medium and are l i a b i l i t i e s of the Reserve banks
that issue them. They are a p r i o r lien on a l l assets of the Reserve banks and are specifically secured by the pledge of coll a t e r a l at least equal to the amount of the notes issued. T h i s
c o l l a t e r a l may consist of gold certificates, United States Government securities, and eligible s h o r t - t e r m paper discounted o r
purchased by the Reserve bank. The amount of notes which may
be issued is subject to an outside l i m i t in that a Reserve bank
must have gold certificate reserves of at least 25 percent (40
percent p r i o r to June 12, 1945) of its Federal Reserve notes i n
actual circulation.
The Reserve r a t i o is the percentage of the combined deposit
and Federal Reserve note l i a b i l i t i e s represented by gold c e r t i f i cate reserves (by total reserves p r i o r t o June 12, 1945).

Excess reserves are the difference between reserves actually
held and required reserves, and indicate the extent to which m e m ber banks may legally expand t h e i r loans and investments without
having recourse to the Federal Reserve banks. The possible e x pansion i n loans and investments for the banking system as a
whole i s several timies the amount of excess reserves. When a
bank increases i t s loans and investments, the deposits of the banking system increase by a s i m i l a r amount, unless there are o f f setting influences, and the additional deposits cause an increase in
reserve requirements.
Free reserves are excess reserves less borrowings; negative
figures indicate net borrowed reserves.

(but not outside) the l a r g e r cities and, effective with data f o r
July 1946, includes a l l branches of reporting banks, regardless
of location. The weekly r e p o r t i n g banks (chiefly l a r g e - c i t y
banks) are most affected by s h o r t - t i m e money market factors
and are especially significant i n showing current changes in the
credit situation.
As of the end of December 1960, the weekly r e p o r t i n g member
banks accounted for about 53 percent of total c o m m e r c i a l bank
deposits and about 64 percent of total member bank deposits.
(These percentages are based on total deposits, except inter bank.)
The series has been revised at various times to extend the
coverage and to r e f l e c t other improvements. F o r data shown i n
this volume, there are two m a j o r breaks in comparability: (1)
A break (effective w i t h figures beginning July 1946) to incorporate results of the revision announced in mid-1947; and (2) a
break (effective w i t h figures beginning July 1958) to incorporate
the r e v i s i o n announced i n August 1959. A r e v i s i o n of lesser
significance (effective w i t h data beginning January 1952) was
announced i n e a r l y 1953; this r e v i s i o n was mainly to improve the
coverage of banks.
The 1959 r e v i s i o n (affecting figures f r o m July 1958 forward)
was designed to provide a m o r e adequate classification and
breakdown of loans and investments, as w e l l as to improve the
coverage of banks. The most important change among the loan
categories was the segregation of loans to financial institutions.
Loans to financial institutions, which f o r m e r l y were included i n
" c o m m e r c i a l and i n d u s t r i a l " loans, i n " o t h e r " loans, and, to a
lesser extent, i n loans to banks, are now shown f o r four types of
institutions as follows: (1) Domestic c o m m e r c i a l banks; (2)
foreign banks; (3) sales finance, personal finance, factors, and
other business credit companies; and (4) other financial i n s t i t u tions (mutual savings banks, insurance companies, mortgage
companies, savings and loan associations, and Federal lending
agencies). By the segregation of loans to financial institutions
and the redefinitions of other loan categories to remove the loans
to these institutions, users of the series are provided w i t h a
more accurate measure of the amount of bank c r e d i t channeled

This m a t u r i t y breakdown furnishes data for studies of developm.ents in bank liquidity, etc.
As part of tlie revision announced in 1947 (affecting figures
beginning with July 1946), a major change was to include consolidated figures for a l l branches of a l l reporting banks, regardless
of location. This revision eliminated the necessity of prorating
certain aggregate asset and l i a b i l i t y figures between excluded
and included branches in order to obtain estimates for use in the
series. The inclusion of a l l branches of reporting banks removed
the possibility of indicating precisely the number of cities r e p r e sented in the series, p a r t i c u l a r l y i n d i s t r i c t s that have branch
banking„ The selection of cities was based on the r a t i o of m e m ber bank deposits in a city to total c o m m e r c i a l bank deposits in
the Federal Reserve d i s t r i c t , but exceptions v/ere made for
special situations^ The coverage of bank deposits within included
cities was broadened considerably» In the 1947 revision, the
percentage of total c o m m e r c i a l bank deposits represented by the
new series (at end of December 1946) was increased to about 57
f r o m 49 for the old series, and the percentage of total member
bank deposits represented was increased to about 67 f r o m 57
percent for the old series.

Data represent averages of rates charged on s h o r t - t e r m loans
(those maturing in 1 year or less) to business in the specified
cities.
The interest rates are adjusted for changes in the size com™
position of loans and, therefore, more accurately reflect v a r i a tions over time in the level of rates than do those on the old
basis (see data for 1929-38 in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS
STATISTICS. The reoort f o r m (introduced June 1948) calls for
the amount of the loans and the interest rate actually charged
for each new loan or renewal made in the f i r s t half of March,
June, September, and December by a selected sample of banks
(mainly large ones) in 19 leading cities. To afford a comparison
between rates beginning June 1948 and e a r l i e r data, the old i n t e r e s t - r a t e reports were reworked back to March 1939 to p r o vide estimates of average rates charged using a constant system
of weights derived f r o m the size-of-loan data reported since June
1948. The reworked data, therefore, eliminate certain e r r a c t i c
fluctuations and long-run trends f o r m e r l y introduced by shifts in
the size composition of loans.
T o adjust f o r size-of-loan differences, averages of rates paid
on each size group of loans in each area are computed. T h i s is
done by dividing the dollar amount of interest charged, figured at
an annual rate, by the dollar amount; of loans made i n each group
of loans. The resulting rate averages for the minor size groups
for each area are then combined into four major size groups of
loans for the area. The weights used for this computation are
based on the importance in each area of the m i n o r size groups in
the loan portfolios of reporting banks, as of November 20, 1946.
Major size categories of loans, for which weighted average
rates are computed, are as follows:
$l,000-$9,999
$10,000-$99,999
$100,000-$199,999
$200,000 and over
F o r each of the three geographic areas and for a l l 19 cities
taken together an average rate is computed as a summary measure of movements in rates on a l l sizes of loans. The o v e r a l l average, in each case, is obtained by combining the average rates
f o r the four major size groups of loans. The weights used i n
making each average reflect the relative importance of the loan
size groups in the business-loan volume outstanding as of November 20, 1946, at reporting banks in the area concerned.
Effective w i t h September 1959, the rates are based on data excluding loans to nonbank financial institutions. Such loans are
excluded in accordance with changes in the loan schedule of the
c a l l report of condition.

rates charged by the Federal intermediate credit banks for direct
loans only. During the period f r o m February 1934 through
February 1947 (except in February 1939), the 12 banks had the
same rate. When the banks have different rates, as i n periods
other than the aforementioned, the loan rates of the 12 banks are
averaged. Beginning 1947, i f a change of rate occurs during a
month the bank's average rate for that month is obtained by
weighting each rate by the number of calendar days i t was i n
force; p r i o r thereto, the average rate for a month in which a
change occurred was obtained by weighting each rate by the number of business days i t was in force. No weight is given to the
number of loans closed at the various rates.

closed by the 12 Federal land banks on loans made through the
Federal land bank associations ( p r i o r to December 31, 1959,
named national f a r m loan associations). The law l i m i t s the rate
to 6 percent. While the Federal land banks are authorized to
make d i r e c t loans i n areas where the f a c i l i t i e s of the Federal
land bank associations are not available, none have been made in
current years. Loans made d i r e c t l y c a r r y an interest rate 1/2
of 1 percent higher than those made through the associations.
When the banks have different loan rates, the rates of the 12
banks are averaged. Beginning 1947, when a change of rate
occurs during a month, the bank's average rate for that month is
obtained by weighting each rate in effect during the month by the
number of calendar days i t was i n force; p r i o r thereto, the
average rate f o r a month i n which a change occurred was
obtained by weighting each rate i n effect during the month by the

These data represent consumer credit outstanding and consumer
installment credit extended and repaid which are consistent w i t h
the data on credit outstanding. Data for Alaska and Hawaii are
included beginning January and August 1959, respectively.
Consumer credit represents a l l s h o r t - and i n t e r m e d i a t e - t e r m
credit used to finance the purchase of commodities and services
f o r personal consumption o r to refinance debts o r i g i n a l l y i n c u r r e d f o r such purposes. Because of certain d i f f i c u l t i e s , some
241
BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION
credit that is really consumer credit cannot be included in the
data here shown. On the other hand, i t is impossible to exclude
a l l the nonconsumer credit that the definition requires. The
amount of consumer credit omitted f r o m the series f a r exceeds
the amount of nonconsumer credit that s t i l l remains in the series.
The t e r m " c r e d i t " means an advance of purchasing power
which could be used to obtain goods and services, or an advance
of goods o r services in exchange f o r a p r o m i s e to pay at a later
datCe The t e r m "consumption" means the process of using up
goods and services as an end in itself rather than as a stage in
production. Credit extended to governmental agencies and nonp r o f i t o r charitable organizations, as well as credit extended to
businesses, is excluded.
Installment credit includes a l l consumer credit held by financ i a l institutions and retail outlets which is scheduled to be r e paid in two or more installments. Revolving credit and budget
and coupon accounts are treated as installment credit rather than
as charge accounts because they involve scheduled repayment on
a monthlv basiso
Descriptions of the four principal classes of installment credit
follow. "Automobile paper" and "other consumer goods paper"
represent credit extended for the purpose of purchasing automobiles and other consumer goods and, in most cases, secured by
the items purchased. "Repair and modernization loans" include
both FHA insured and noninsured loans made to finance the
maintenance and improvement of owner-occupied dwelling units.
"Personal loans" include all loans, not covered in the previous
categories, made by financial institutions to individuals for consumer purposes, such as consolidation of consumer debts, payments of taxes and of medical, educational, or travel expenses,
etc. Some personal loans are used for the purchase of consumer
goods but, since they are not secured by the goods, they are not
reported as commodity paper under automobile or other consumer goods.
Noninstallment credit is subdivided according to single-payment loans, charge accounts, and service credit. "Single-payment loans" are loans made to individuals for consumer purposes
and scheduled to be repaid in one payment. VslhiXe some credit of
this type is used for the purchase of consumer goods, most is for
meeting short-term needs such as the payment of personal taxes
or 'life insurance premiums, "Charge accounts" are the outstanding balances owed to retail outlets for purchases made by individuals for consumer purposes. "Service credit" is the amount
owed by individuals to professional practitioners and service establishments.
L i k e most economic statistics, the consumer credit series is
based on comprehensive benchmark data which become available
periodically. Current monthly estimates are projected from the
latest benchmarks in accordance with changes indicated by sample data. The estimated totals are adjusted as necessary whenever new benchmark data become available. Classifications are
made on a "holder" basis. Thus installment paper sold by retail
outlets is included in figures for the banks and sales finance
companies that purchased the paper.
Estimates of installment credit extended, repaid, and out stand ing represent summaries of accounting records. Conceptually
the amount of outstanding credit represents the sum of the b a l ances in the installment receivable accounts of financial institutions and retail outlets on any given date. Credit extended covers
a l l debit entries to these accounts during a given period and credit repaid covers all of the credit entries except chargeoffs. The
difference between credit extended and credit repaid during any
given period is thus equal to the change in the outstanding balance
during the period, i f allowance is made for losses and chargeoffs
(see exceptions for January and August 1959 mentioned in note 4
for p. 87). In these estimates, chargeoffs are included as repayments in most of the components of the series. Information is
not available to make separate estimates of the amount of chargeoffs and under most circumstances the amounts involved are
relatively small.
The estimates ot the amount of credit outstanding and those of
installment credit extended include any finance and insurance
charges included as part of the installment contract. Similarly,
installment credit repayments include the payments on these
charges. The inclusion of finance charges is general for most
types of installment contracts, since they are usually written on
a discount basis. The inclusion of insurance charges is of importance primarily in the case of automobile installment credit.
Another fact to consider in using figures on installment credit
extended and repaid is the inclusion of loans to refinance or consolidate other installment obligations or to renew existing loans.
The items simultaneously add to both credit extended and credit
repaid with no net effect on the amount outstanding. Little is
known of the exact amount of such refinancing, but it is not believed to be sufficiently large most of the time to have any significant effect on the totals of installment credit extended and r e paid.
The adjusted data for installment credit extended and repaid
reflect adjustments for differences in the number of trading days
and for seasonal variation. The seasonal factors used are derived by the modified ratio -to -moving -average method (for details of this method, see article in Federal Reserve Bulletin, June
1941).
There is a necessary relationship between credit extensions
and repayments which is determined by the nature of the installment contract. Once a contract is made, the schedule of repayments is determined. Because repayments on installment contracts are distributed evenly over a number of months, data on
repayments show much less seasonal variation than data on extensions. Moreover, the seasonal movements that do occur in r e payments are related to some extent to the seasonal movements
in extensions.
For a more complete description of the series on consumer
credit outstanding, see the April 1953 issue of the Federal Reserve Bulletin; for further details on credit extended and repaid,
see the January 1954 issue.
The 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS contains end-ofyear figures back to 1929 for total consumer credit outstanding,

types of accounts. For the latest revised monthly figures prior

on information from accounting records of retail outlets and f i nancial institutions and include finance, insurance, and other
charges incurred under the installment contract. Renewals and
refinancing of loans, repurchases and resales of installment paper, and certain other transactions may increase the amount of
both credit extended and credit repaid without adding to the
amount of credit outstanding.
The figures adjusted for seasonal variation include adjustments
for differences in the number of trading days in each month.
Data for Alaska and Hawaii are included beginning with January
and August 1959, respectively. In these 2 months the differences
between extensions and repayments do not equal changes in credit
outstanding, because the differences do not reflect the effect of
the introduction of outstanding balances for the new States.
5 Data for noninstallment consumer credit are end-of-year
figures, not monthly averages.
^ Beginning 1947 includes amounts outstanding on credit cards;
such amounts are not available for earlier periods.

i Source: U. S. Treasury Department. Data cover only budgetary operations of the Federal Government, i.e., only those operations involving accounts that determine the budget surplus or
deficit. Excluded from expenditures are amounts for publicdebt retirement chargeable to the sinking fund, etc., under special provisions of the law. Effective July 1, 1948, payments to
the Treasury, principally by wholly owned Government corporations, for retirement of capital stock and disposition of earnings
are excluded from both receipts and expenditures. Also, effective with figures shown here beginning with January 1959, net
receipts and total expenditures reflect exclusion of certain interfund transactions, consisting mainly of interest payments by
Government agencies to-the Treasury Department. This elimination does not affect the amount of the budget surplus or deficit.
A l l monthly averages shown in the present volume are based on
calendar-year totals. The monthly averages through 1953 and the
monthly figures through June 1953 (in earlier volumes) are on the
basis of the "Daily Statement of the U. S. Treasury," compiled
from the latest daily reports received from Government depositaries, Treasury disbursing offices, the Departments of the Army
and Air Force, and other agencies. The monthly averages for
1954 and the monthly figures beginning July 1953 are on the basis
of the "Monthly Statement of Receipts and Expenditures of the
U. S. Government," compiled from reports received from all
Government collecting and disbursing agencies and the Treasurer
of the United States. The Monthly Statement shows receipts of
taxes and customs duties on a collection basis, while various
other receipts are reported partially on a collection basis and
partially on a deposit basis, and expenditures (except interest on
the public debt) are reported on the basis of checks issued or
cash payments made by disbursing officers. The Monthly State-
ment cojQtains all receipts and expenditures of the Government,
including those of agencies which maintain cash accounts outside
the U. S Treasury.
o
Budget accounts include general accounts (which are credited
with receipts not designated by Congress for specific purposes
and cover most appropriations and expenditures), special accounts (or funds earmarked by Congress for specific purposes),
and operations in checking accounts of wholly owned Government
corporations and credit agencies, other than transactions of
these agencies on account of borrowings or repayments. Budget
accounts exclude trust account receipts and expenditures and r e lated items.
Information on the content of various items of expenditures is
given in notes 4 - 6 for this page„ Items under receipts are explained as follows (see also note 2 for this page): "Individual income taxes" include taxes both withheld and not withheld; "corporation income and prifits taxes" also include unjust enrichment
taxes (through June 1946) and victory taxes (withheld pursuant to
the Revenue Act of 1942 and repealed after 1943); "employment
taxes" include taxes for old-age insurance, for disability insurance (beginning January 1957), for unemployment insurance,
and for railroad retirement (except as otherwise noted, the data
exclude railroad unemployment insurance contributions, which
are included in "other internal revenue and receipts").
"Other internal revenue and receipts" include revenues from
alcohol taxes, tobacco taxes, manufacturers* and retailers' excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, capital stock taxes, stamp
taxes, and other miscellaneous taxes; they also include receipts
from proceeds from the sale of surplus property (Act of October
3, 1944) and from Government-owned securities, deposits r e sulting from renegotiation of war contracts, repayments on credit to LInited Kingdom, Panama Canal tolls, seigniorage, railroad
unemployment insurance contributions for administrative expenses through 1953, and miscellaneous receipts. Deposits r e sulting from the renegotiation of war contracts represent a large
proportion of the "receipts" in certain years. Separate figures
for such deposits are not available on the basis of the daily or
monthly Treasury statements; on the basis of covering warrants,
such amounts (including so-called voluntary returns) for fiscal
years ended June 30 were as follows (in millions of dollars): 1943,
558; 1944, 2,235; 1945, 2,041; 1946, 1,063; 1947, 279; 1948, 162;
1949, 76; 1950, 27; 1951, 28; 1952, 13; 1953, 39; 1954, 36; (data
not shown separately after June 30, 1954).
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for July 195356 are shown in the 1959 and 1957 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS.
2 "Net receipts" represent total budget receipts less refunds
of receipts (beginning with fiscal year 1931) and less transfers
of receipts to the following trust funds: Federal old-age and
survivors' trust fund (beginning with June 1936); railroad r e t i r e ment account (beginning with 1942 for the monthly averages and
with 1952 for the separate monthly data); Highway trust fund as
required by the Highway Revenue Act of 1956 (after June 30, 1956,
and before July 1, 1972); Federal disability insurance trust fund,
established by the Social Security Act Amendment of 1956 (beginning 1957); and unemployment trust fund (beginning September
1960). In addition to the aforementioned deductions, the "net
receipts" figures shown here from January 1959 forward also r e flect deduction of certain interfund transactions.
^ See also note 1 for this page. Expenditures are "net," after allowance for reimbursements to appropriations, receipts of r e volving fund appropriations, and receipts credited to disbursing
accounts of corporations and agencies having authority to use
collections without formal covering into the Treasury. The figures include transfers to trust accounts, transactions of the F o r eign Economic Cooperation Trust Fund, established under the
Economic Cooperation Act of 1948, and transactions of wholly
owned Government corporations and agencies. Beginning November 1950, investments by these corporations and agencies in
public debt securities are excluded from budget expenditures
and included with other such investments under "trust account
and other transactions." Corresponding adjustments were made
in November 1950 and January 1951 for net investments classified
as budget expenditures in the period July through October. Budget
expenditures exclude also amounts for public debt retirement
which are chargeable to the sinking fund, etc., under special pro-

visions of law. Effective July 1, 1948, payments to the T r e a s u r y ,
p r i n c i p a l l y by wholly owned Government corporations, for r e tirement of capital stock and disposition of earnings are excluded
f r o m both receipts and expenditures» The figures f r o m January
1959 f o r w a r d for "toi-al" budget expenditures exclude certain i n terfund transactions, which are also excluded f r o m net budget
receipts.

Veterans' education and training; other veterans' readjustment
benefits; veterans' compensation and pensions; veterans' i n surance and servicemen's indemnities; veterans' hospitals and
medical care; and other veterans' services and administration.
5 Expenditures for " m a j o r national security" include, in recent
years, expenditures for m i l i t a r y defense, m i l i t a r y assistance,
development and control of atomic energy, and stockpiling and
defense production expansion. In the e a r l i e r years, the data i n clude expenditures for various other purposes related to national
defense.
6 " A l l other expenditures" include, in recent years, expenditures for the following purposes: International affairs and f i nance; labor and welfare; agriculture and a g r i c u l t u r a l resources;
natural resources; commerce, housing, and space technology;
and general government, etc.
^ P r i o r to July 1, 1939, figures include railroad-unemploymentinsurance contributions (paid under T i t l e IX of the Social Security Act) amounting to 2.7, 5.3, and 6„8 m i l l i o n dollars, respectivel y , for the calendar years 1936, 1937, and 1938, and 2.9 m i l l i o n
for January-June 1939. S i m i l a r contributions under the " R a i l r o a d
Unemployment Insurance Act," effective Juty 1, 1939, are largely
deposited d i r e c t l y i n the t r u s t fund account f o r r a i l r o a d unemployment insurance; the portion included in receipts i s credited
to funds for administrative expenses and is not classified as an
employment tax under the Internal Revenue Code.
® The monthly averages beginning 1942 and the monthly figures
beginning January 1952 for net budget receipts and budget expenditures reflect the exclusion of appropriations of receipts to
the r a i l r o a d retirement account.
9 Effective with 1954, data are according to a revised reporting
basis (see 2d paragraph of note 1 for this page).
Effective June 30, 1955, interest on the public debt is r e ported on an accrual basis; p r i o r thereto, on a due and payable
basis.
Effective February 1957, data reflect deductions f r o m total
budget receipts of amounts appropriated to the Federal disability
insurance trust fund; see also note 2 for this page.
12 Beginning January 1957, data also include taxes for disability
insurance (see also 4th paragraph of note 1 for this page).
13 Revised beginning with January 1957 to exclude data for defense support.
Data beginning January 1959 for net receipts and total expenditures reflect exclusion of certain inter fund transactions.

debt at the end of the year or month specified. Beginning July
1942, data are on the basis of the Daily Statement of the Treasury,
compiled from daily reports received from Government depositaries and Treasury offices holding Government funds. Owing to
the distance of some of the offices from the Treasury, their r e ports may be somewhat delayed„ The figures do not include delayed reports for the month concerned and include reports of
the preceding month received too late for inclusion in the figures
for that month. Prior to July 1942, the figures are from Public
Debt Statements which take into account delayed reports. Data
include matured debt on which interest has ceased and debt bearing no interest, in addition to interest-bearing debt.
"Public issues-interest bearing" consist of bonds, Treasury
notes, certificates of indebtedness, and Treasury bills, and include both marketable and nonmarketable issues, "Special issues
to Government agencies and trust funds—interest bearing" consist
243
of notes or certificates issued to the following trust funds or accounts: Retirement funds, unemployment trust fund, Federal
disability insurance trust fund (beginning March 1957), Federal
old-age and survivors insurance trust fund, adjusted service
certificate fund (through December 1956), Postal Savings System,
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Highway trust fund' (beginning January 1957), Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, Federal home loan banks, housing insurance funds,
National service life insurance fund, farm tenant mortgage
insurance fund (through March 1956), Veterans' special term insurance fund and Government life insurance fund. "Noninterestbearing debt" consists of matured debt on which interest has
ceased, special notes of the United States for International Monetary Fund, U. S. savings stamps, excess profits tax refund bonds,
United States notes (less gold reserve), national bank and Federal Reserve bank notes assumed by the United States on deposit of
lawful money for their retirement, and other debt bearing no interest.
The public debt reflects debt incurred to finance expenditures
of the Federal business-type activities for which obligations are
held by the Treasury. Debt so incurred amounted to $25,976,000,000 on December 31, 1960.
End-of-year data prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1929-56
for total gross debt and for 1936-56 for all other series (except
"held by U. S Government investment accounts") will be found
in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top

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 year or month specified and represent the principal
amount of obligations issued for the Federal business-type activi ties which are guaranteed as to principal and interest. Only
public issues are included; excluded throughout are obligations
held by the United States Treasury and reflected in the public
debt. Data include interest-bearing debt and matured debt on
which interest has ceased.
Since October 1941, funds needed for Federal business-type activities have been provided by the Treasury instead of by sale of
guaranteed securities in the open market, except in the case of
certain transactions involving the Commodity Credit Corporation
(through February 1953), the Federal Housing Administration,
and the District of Columbia Armory Board (beginning July 1959).
As a result of this policy, there has been a large decrease in
guaranteed obligations outstanding. Securities held by the Treasury for debt incurred to finance the expenditures of Federal
business-type activities and reflected in the public debt totaled
$25,976,000,000 on December 31, 1960.

statement asset value, with bonds carried on an amortized value
basis and common stocks at market value. The portfolios in
the end-of-month data are at book value of ledger assets. In the
monthly figures, adjustments for interest due and accrued and for
differences between market and book values are not made on each
item separately, but are included in total in "other assets." The
monthly data are estimates of total assets of all U. S. legal
reserve life insurance companies and are based on monthly r e ports from companies representing in recent years over 95 percent of all assets. The estimating procedure, effective with the
data for January 1957 (monthly only), resulted in increases in the
monthly asset totals ranging from $ 100 million to $ 300 million
over totals that would have resulted from the procedure previously in effect. These increases, which affect the various categories
in differing degrees, make the monthly data prior to 1957 not entirely comparable with those shown in this volume.
Assets for the accident and health departments of life insurance
companies are distributed by type and included in the assets of
all companies.
"U. S. Government bonds" include both direct Government obligations and bonds of Federal agencies fully guaranteed as to
principal and interest by the U. S. Government. Bonds of Federal agencies not guaranteed by the U. S. Government are included in "industrial and miscellaneous bonds." Shares of institutions insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation are included under "preferred stocks" to the extent
they are insured by that agency. The balance is included in
"common stocks."
The classification "real estate" includes real estate sold
under contract of sale 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. "Other assets"
include collateral loans, bills receivable, due and deferred premiums, and transportation equipment.

Data represent the estimated total volume of new paid -for life
insurance sold in the United States, exclusive of revivals, increases, dividend additions, reinsurance acquired, and credit insurance. (The latter is a type of insurance that insures borrowers to cover payment of loans in case of death.) The estimated
totals are projected from monthly company reports which at the
end of 1960 accounted for around 85 percent of the new ordinary
insurance (80-88 percent in earlier years), 51 percent of the new
industrial insurance, and 87 and 92 percent of the new group and
wholesale contracts, respectively.
For ordinary insurance, the reported data for each State are
raised to a 100-percent basis and the State figures summed to
obtain United States and regional totals. A ratio of the sales of
the reporting companies to annual sales of all companies in each
State, based on 4 years' aggregate experience, was used to raise
the reported monthly figures through 1944. From January 1945
through 1949, the ratios for raising the data are based on the average of only 2 years' experience, since it was found that use of
a longer period tended to make the figures inaccurate in a State
when the contributing companies showed a definite upward or
downward trend. Beginning in 1950, a 1-year basis has been
used. These ratios are calculated each year on the basis of the
latest year for which data are available. Details by States are
given in the regular monthly reports of the compiling agency.
States comprising the geographic areas shown here are: New
England—Maine, New^ Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, and Connecticut; Middle Atlantic-New York, New
Jersey, and Pennsylvania; East North Central-Ohio, Indiana, I l l i nois, Michigan, and Wisconsin; West North Central-Minnesota,

New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada; Pacific—Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska (beginning 1957), and Hawaii (beginning
1958).
Group and wholesale and industrial insurance are estimated for
the United States only, using a raising factor based on the percentage of sales of reporting companies to all companies during a
l - y e a r period. 'Prior to 1951 a 2-year basis was used.
"Group life insurance" is that issued, usually without medical
examination, on a group of persons under a master policy. It is
usually issued to an employer for the benefit of employees, the
individual members of the group holding certificates as evidence
of their insurance.
"Industrial life insurance" is that issued in small amounts,
usually not over ? 500. Premiums are payable on a weekly or
monthly basis and are generally collected at the home by an
agent of the company.
"Ordinary life insurance" is that usually issued in amounts of
5^1,000 or more with premiums payable on an annual, semiannual,
quarterly, or monthly basis. The term is also used to mean a
plan of insurance for the whole of life with premiums payable unt i l death.

^ Source: U. S. Treasury Department. Data are compiled
from the "Circulation Statement of United States Money," issued
monthly. Figures a r e the gold stock a i the end of the months
and years indicated.
Until January 30, 1934, the gold stock of the United States consisted of gold coin in circulation in the United States and gold
held by the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Banks, except gold
held under earmark for foreign account. On that date, title to all
gold owned by Federal Reserve Banks was transferred to the
United States Government, while by a series of Executive Orders
in 1933 gold coin was retired from circulation. Since January 30,
1934, the regular gold stock figures for the United States have
represented only gold held by the Treasury, exclusive of relatively s m a l l amounts held since April 1934 in the Exchange Stabilization Fund, the figures for which are reported quarterly and on a
delayed basis. The Federal Reserve Banks now hold gold certificates, or gold certificate credits on the books of the Treasury,
which have been issued against the bulk of the Treasury's gold
holdings. The reported gold stock also includes gold against
which no certificates or certificate credits have been issued;
i.e., the inactive portion of the Exchange Stabilization Fund's
holdings (liquidated February 26, 1947), gold held against certain
Treasury currency issues, and gold in the Treasury's General
Fund, including from December 24, 1936, through April 13, 1938,
amounts set aside by the Treasury in a special Inactive Account,
According to the original estimates of gold coin in circulation,
based on payments of gold coin into circulation and withdrawals
from circulation, reported imports and exports of gold coin,
mintings, meltings, and gold coin used in the arts, the circulation
figure on January 30, 1934, was $287,000,000. However, this
amount was excluded from the gold stock and from money in c i r culation for all years through 1933 as showii in earlier volumes.
This was done primarily because private holdings became illegal
in early 1934; but there was also reason to believe that much of
the computed amount of gold coin in private hands had in fact
been lost or taken out of the country by travelers.
The factors accounting for changes in gold stock are domestic
production of gold, net gold imports or exports, and changes in
the amount of gold under earmark. For several reasons the
combined net movement of these factors in any given period may
245
not correspond exactly to the reported change in gold stock in
that period. There are usually various lags in the statistics as a
result, for example, of delays in refining or assaying newly
mined or imported gold; and net domestic consumption of gold in
the arts and industry may affect the figures from month to month.
There are also less regular influences which, when they occur,
are generally of much greater importance. Of this character was
the increase in the gold stock in February 1934 attributable to
the devaluation of the dollar, the decrease in the gold stock in
February 1947 resulting from the payment of the United States
gold subscription to the International Monetary Fund, and, since
April 1934, net changes in gold held in the United States by the
active portion of the Exchange Stabilization Fund.
End-of-year data prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1936-56
will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume; earlier monthly data are
available upon request. The figures prior to 1934 as shown in the
1942 and 1940 volumes incorporate revisions back to 1913 to exclude the $287,000,000 of gold coin which was dropped on January
31, 1934, in order to make them comparable with later data. The
resulting figures for the earlier years probably understate somewhat the amount of gold coin held by the public but fluctuations in
the total are not affected by the revision. The large increase in
the figures in 1934 resulted primarily from the revaluation of the
gold stock on the basis of the changed gold content of the dollar.
The revaluation added $2,806,000,000 to the gold stock on February 1, 1934.
2 Statistics on exports and imports of gold are from the U. S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census (prior to May
1941, from Bureau of Foreign and Dom.estic Commerce). 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 Reserve Banks), Beginning August 1946, figures include
gold held for account of international institutions. The minus
sign indicates an increase in earmarked gold. An increase in
earmarked gold is the equivalent of net export and a decrease the

Values are calculated at the rate of $35 per fine ounce (prior to
1934, at rate of $20.67).
Data, for the most part, cover production in countries and
areas for which monthly reports are available. However, the
monthly averages for the "total," and for Africa and Canada are
computed for some years from reported yearly totals for which
monthly figures were not obtained. For example, all monthly
averages as shown here for Africa include data for the Belgian
Congo (now named Republic of the Congo), Rhodesia, South
Africa, and Ghana (formerly Gold Coast; through 1943, the r e ports covered West Africa instead of Gold Coast only). For
Belgian Congo, however, separate monthly figures are not available for 1938-46; thus data for this area are necessarily omitted
from the monthly totals shown for Africa in the earlier Supplements.
In addition to data for Africa, Canada, and the United States,
the "total" also includes production (when available) in Mexico,
Nicaragua, Brazil (beginning 1950 in monthly averages and June
1957 in monthly data), Chile (through 1959), Colombia, Australia,
and India.
Canadian production (which includes Newfoundland beginning
with 1949) is reported by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
Data prior to 1946 for the United States include that production
of the Philippine Islands which was received in the United States.
Annual production figures for the United States are from the
U, S. Bureau of the Mint; monthly figures are from American Bureau of Metal Statistics.

5 Silver prices are daily averages for the month as compiled by
Handy and Harman and reported in "Metal and Mineral Markets,"
a weekly news service of the Engineering and Mining Journal.
Quotations are per troy ounce 0.999 fine on the basis of market
prices for bar silver in quantities sufficient to meet daily r e quirements for nearby delivery, New York. Quotations prior to
July 1946 are for foreign silver or silver not eligible for sale to
the U. S. Government. Beginning July 1946, they apply also to
domestic and Treasury silver if such silver enters into New
York market transactions.
On December 21, 1933, by Presidential proclamation, the U. S.
Government price of newly mined domestic silver was established at $0.6464 per fine ounce. Changes in the Government
price for silver have been made from time to time. On July 6,
1939 (for silver mined after July 1, 1939) it was established at
$0.7111. On July 31, 1946, the President approved an act which
provided that seigniorage to be deducted for silver (mined after
July 1, 1946, and delivered to the Treasury) be reduced from 45
to 30 percent. The effect was to raise the price of domestically
mined silver after mid-1946 to $0,905 per ounce; since that time,
there has been no change in the Government price.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1929-56
will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. Monthly averages and
monthly figures back to 1913 and 1923, respectively, are shown

production or silver in base bullion and in blister or converter
copper produced, plus-silver in ores and concentrates exported.
Figures beginning May 1949 include production in Newfoundland.

7 Source: American Bureau of Metal Statistics. Data for the
United States are based on production (fromx material of domestic
origin) of commercial bars, 0.999 fine, and other refined forms,
plus purchases of crude silver by the United States Mint. Refined
forms other than bars comprise shot, crystal, etc.; these account
for only a small part of the total. Production in the Philippine
Islands is included in the United States figures through the year
1943 and for 1945. Reports of the compiling agency give also
silver production from foreign material; the separation between
silver of foreign and domestic origin is only approximate.
Production for Mexico in general is based on refined silver
bullion, plus silver content of ores, etc., exported. The 1942-51
monthly averages are based on the Mexican official figures for
these years and differ from the averages of the monthly figures,
which are in part estimated. Monthly data are not available for
1942-June 1946; the monthly averages are based on annual totals
and, for 1942-45, are partly estimated.

Figures beginning May 1949 include production in Newfound land.
The monthly averages beginning with 1950 include production in Brazil; such production is included in the monthly data
only from June 1957 forward. Annual totals for 1950-60 for production in Brazil are as follows (millions of dollars): 4.6; 4.8;

of the year or month indicated. They include all coin and paper
currency of the United States, except money held by the Treasury,
money held by or for the account of the Federal Reserve banks
and agents, and coin estimated to be held outside the United
States.. Paper currency held outside the United States is included.
The figures represent, therefore, not only money held by the public but also vault cash held by banks.
Gold coin was withdrawn from circulation in January 1934,
since the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 (which was culmination of
gold actions of 1933) vested in the United States title to all gold
coin and gold bullion. Gold coin is included in the circulation figures prior to January 1934 published in earlier volumes of BUSINESS STATISTICS, but the amounts included (effective with the
1940 volume) are as revised by Federal Reserve to reflect a deduction of $287 million in each period. The $287 million (representing gold coin reported in January 1934 as still in circulation)
was excluded because it is believed to have been largely lost or
melted down, or otherwise to have disappeared from circulation
over the years.
End-of-year data prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1936-56

Figures cover deposits at all banks in the United States and currency outside banks, and provide an indication of the total volume
of the means of payment outstanding in the country. Banks in
Alaska and Hawaii are represented effective with January and
April 1959, respectively.
Data have been adjusted to show as nearly as possible separate information on the privately held money supply. Foreign
bank deposits, net, represent deposits of foreign banks less balance with banks in foreign countries. Figures for U. S. Government balances comprise Treasury cash and deposits at commercial, savings, and Federal Reserve banks. Demand deposits adjusted comprise a l l demand deposits at commercial banks (except interbank and U. S. Government deposits) less cash items in
process of collection, commonly called "float." Time deposits

June o r June and December c a l l dates. Beginning 1943 for deposits and currency, 1947 f o r U. S, Government balances, and beginning 1948 for foreign bank deposits, estimates have been made
for the other months and are rounded to the nearest 100 m i l l i o n

The deposit turnover rate is computed f r o m data reported by
banks in leading centers and is exclusive of interbank and
So
Government deposits.
In deriving the turnover rates, an allowance is-made in the
monthly reported debits f o r the effects of differences in the number of working days and for regular monthly payments which are
not related to the number of working daySo These monthly figures
are then expressed at annual rates (multiplied by 12), These adjustments are accomplished by multiplying monthly reported
debits by a conversion factor = [actual
TTW) '
Actual working days are based on a 5-day workweek less any of
the 8 national holidays (New Yearns, Washington's Birthday, Mem o r i a l , Independence. Labor, V e t e r a n s T h a n k s g i v i n g , and
Christmas) tailing within the month. The allowance f o r regular
monthly payments gives these payments equal weight with those
related to the number of working days,
A turnover figure is then calculated by dividing the converted
debits figure by the average of demand deposits (except interbank
and U. S. Government) at end of the current and preceding
month S The resulting turnover figure is divided by the seasonal
o
factor to remove the effects of seasonal changes.
The average turnover rate for a year (shown on line designated
"monthly average") is calculated by dividing total reported debits
for the year by the average of month-end deposits (i.e„, deposits
reported for the 2 Decembers and 11 intervening month-ends d i vided by 13).

^ Sources: Federal Trade and Securities and Exchange Commissions. Quarterly estimates for all manufacturing corporations (except newspapers), classified by both industry and asset
size, are produced from uniform, confidential income statements
and balance sheets received each calendar quarter (since 1947)
from a probability sample of all enterprises (except newspapers)
classified as manufacturers (according to the Standard Industrial Classification) and required to file U. S. Corporation Income Tax Form 1120.
The conventional accounting concept of profits used in the
estimates differs from the national income concept in which capital gains and dividends received by corporations are deducted
from profits, capital losses and depletion charges are added to
profits, and adjustments are made for international flows affecting profits.
The consolidated enterprise concept used in the estimates
eliminates the multiple counting of all interplant and other intracompany transfers included in establishment statistics and,
to the fullest extent possible, eliminates the multiple counting
of all intercorporate transfers included in statistics based on
unconsolidated or partly consolidated reports from multicorporate enterprises.
The first sample in this series of quarterly estimates covered
each of the quarters in calendar years 1947 to 1951, inclusive;
the second sample, from third quarter 1951 to second quarter
1956, inclusive; the third (current) sample, from second quarter
1956 to date. To splice the estimates based on different samples, an overlap was provided for third and fourth quarters 1951
and second quarter 1956. Also, within the third (current) sample, an overlap was provided for each quarter in calendar year
1958 to splice the estimates based upon the 1945 and 1957 editions
of the Standard Industrial Classification.
Quarterly estimates for 1951 -56 will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of
this volume.
2 Beginning with 1958 data, the Industry classification is based
on the 1957 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual; prior thereto, on the 1945 edition. The figures from 1958
forward are therefore not entirely comparable with earlier figures, except in the case of the lumber and wood products industry
and the petroleum refining industry which were not affected by
the change.

Figures relate to income after all charges and taxes and before
dividends. These data are for Class A and B electric utilities,
including affiliated nonelectric operations. They cover about 95
percent of all electric power operations.
Figures shown on the "monthly average lines" are quarterly
averages.
Quarterly data are available only beginning 1940; data for that
year are as follows (millions of dollars): 1st quarter, 148; 2d
quarter, 128; 3d quarter, 123; 4th quarter, 149. Quarterly data
for 1941-56 (except for revisions given below) will be found in
earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top ef
p. 197 of this volume. Revised data are as follows (millions of
dollars): 1946, 1st to 4th quarter, respectively—193; 149; 141; 155;

2 Source: Securities and Exchange Commission. Data cover
substantially all new securities offered for cash sale in the United
States in amounts over $100,000 and with terms to maturity
of more than one year. The series include flotations irrespective
of whether the issues were publicly or privately placed and r e gardless 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 issues placed privately, intra-
248

state offerings, securities of railroad companies, Federal, State,
and local government issues, issues of banks and eleemosynary
institutions, and those between $100,000 and $300,000 in size offered pursuant to amendment of Regulation A of the Securities
Act of 1933.
The data appearing in these tables are based on material filed
with the Commission in connection with the various Acts administered and questionnaires received from companies issuing securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933.
Notices of offering are obtained from the financial press, financial manuals, periodicals, and special reports from leading life
insurance companies, as well as material filed with the Commission.
Omitted from the statistics are issues which do not appear in
the financial press (largely securities sold through continuous
offering, such as issues of open-end investment companies and
employee purchase plans), intercorporate transactions, U. S.
Government "special issues" and other sales directly to Federal
agencies and trust accounts, notes issued exclusively to commercial banks, and parts of issues known to have been sold outside of
the United States.
The figures represent offerings, not actual sales. However, the
proportion of the total remaining unsold is believed to be quite
minor, and is composed chiefly of nonunderwritten issues of
small companies.
Estimated gross proceeds are derived by multiplying principal
amounts or number of units by offering prices, except for State
and municipal issues for which principal amounts are used. Net
proceeds represent estimated gross proceeds less estimated
cost of flotation.
Definitions of the various classifications which are not selfexplanatory are as follows: The public utility group, beginning
1948, comprises electric light and power, gas, and water; prior
thereto, telephone and telegraph, pipelines, and street railway
companies were also included; financial and real estate data exclude investment companies. "U. S. Government" issues include
U. S. Government direct and guaranteed issues; only issues to the
public are included, the U. S. Government "special issues" (issues to trust funds and Government agencies) and other inter agency sales being excluded; sales of Treasury bills also are excluded because of their short-term maturity. "State and municipal" issues include all governmental subdivisions and issues of
U. S. territories and possessions and are as compiled by the
Commercial and Financial Chronicle through 1951, and The Bond
Buyer beginning 1952.

(Figures, in general, are as reported by the New York Stock Exchange. However, the figures for June, except in 1957, and for
December, through 1956, are collected directly by Federal Reserve and, prior to 1957, may differ somewhat from NYSE data
for corresponding months.)
The data are as of the end of the month or year specified
(except data beginning June 1955 for "money borrowed," which
are as of the last Wednesday), and are based on the reports of
member firms of the New York Stock Exchange carrying margin accounts for customers.
"Customers* debit balances" represent credit extended by the
reporting brokers to their customers. Data exclude credit extended to other 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. A series on loans to brokers and dealers in securities by
weekly reporting member banks in leading cities appears on p.
84. "Customers* free credit balances" represent cash balances
due from brokers to customers who are in no way obligated to
such brokers.

Prices are averages of daily figures. The series prior to November 1941 and after March 1953 represents prices computed from
a hypothetical bond of assumed coupon rate and maturity. For
the period through October 1941, market yields used to calculate
the price series were yields on partially tax-exempt bonds.
Through December 1930, a hypothetical bond of 4 percent coupon
rate and 16-year maturity was used. From January 1931 through
October 1941, the calculation was based on a hypothetical bond
having a coupon of 2 3/4 percent and a maturity of 16 years.
From November 1941 through March 1952, the series represents simple averages of market prices of fully taxable bonds
due or callable after 15 years; for April 1952 through March
1953, it represents average prices of outstanding 2 1/2 percent
bonds first callable after 12 years.
Effective April 1953, prices are calculated from an "assumed"
3 percent 20-year bond, using yield figures on fully taxable bonds
maturing or callable in 10 years or more.

3 Source: Moody's Investors Service. These averages were
set up in 1928 to include 10 bonds of each rating (Aaa, Aa, A, and
Baa) for each group (railroad, public utility, and industrial),
making 120 bonds in all. Since January 1, 1935, however, there
has not been a full set of 10 bonds in some rating classifications
because of the limited number of suitable issues. At that time the
Aaa industrials contained only 7 bonds and the Aa industrials only
6 bonds, compared with 10 bonds in each of the other rating classifications; the total number of bonds was therefore 113. On December 1, 1960, there were 110 bonds used, distributed in each
group as follows: Railroad—6 Aaa, 6 Aa, 10 A, and 10 Baa bonds;
public utility—10 Aaa, 10 Aa, 10 A, and 10 Baa bonds; and indust r i a l - 8 Aaa, 10 Aa, 10 A, and 10 Baa bonds.
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. The average maturity on
December 1, 1960, was 23 years.
Averages are computed as follows: A daily yield based on the
closing price for each individual bond is first computed and then
unweighted arithmetic averages of these yields are compiled for
the different rating classifications. The corporate averages by
ratings (Aaa, Aa, A, and Baa) and the group averages (railroad,
public utility, and industrial) are compiled by averaging these
rating-classification yields. Thus each rating group enters into
the overall averages on the same basis whether it contains 10
bonds or less. The overall corporate yield average is the average
of the four rating classifications (Aaa, Aa, A, and Baa) and is also
the average of the three groups (railroad, public utility, and industrial). The monthly series are averages of daily figures and
the annual series are averages of 12 monthly figures. Comparable weekly data for the corporate average are shown regularly
in the Weekly Supplement to the SURVEY.
In addition to the series shown here, averages by ratings are
available for the railroad, public utility, and industrial groups in
Moody's Bond Survey.

bonds of large cities and represent the yield of a representative
bond, having a maturity of about 20 years and selling at a price
close to par. Originally the series included bonds of the 20
largest cities (excluding Washington, Do C.). Substitutions in the
list of cities have been made from time to time, as some cities
paid off the bulk of their debts or for many years had no debt
outstanding with a sufficiently long maturity. In January 1940,

Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (long) were
substituted for three city bonds. The Port of N. Y. Authority and
the Metropolitan Water District bonds were subsequently dropped;
however, the latter issue was restored in May 1948. Two State
bonds are included in data for 1941-45, three in 1946 and 1947,
and four beginning in 1948. Data were compiled as of the first of

The data are averages of daily figures computed, beginning with
April 1953, on the basis of the closing bid quotations on the overthe-counter market; prior thereto, on the basis of the mean of the
closing bid and asked quotations. The series includes bonds as
follows: Beginning April 1953, fully taxable marketable bonds due
or callable in 10 years and over; from April 1952 through March
1953, fully taxable marketable bonds due or first callable after
12 years; prior thereto, bonds due or first callable after 15

Economics. Data represent cash dividends paid by all companies
for which reports are included in Moody's Dividend Record. The
amount paid by each company is computed by multiplying the dividend rate per share as reported in the Dividend Record by the
number of shares outstanding as reported in Moody's Manuals of
Investments. Cash dividends paid on both preferred and common
stock are included. Data are on a gross basis; that is, intercorporate dividend payments have not been excluded.
Stock dividends are excluded from the series. Liquidating dividends are also excluded, since they represent a repayment of
capital investment rather than a disbursement of earnings. Dividend payments by companies incorporated outside the United
States are eliminated.
The corporations have been classified by industrial groups in
accordance with the 1942 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Code, developed by the Division of Statistical Standards,
Bureau of the Budget; the classification is based on the major
peacetime activity of the corporations. The miscellaneous group
includes agriculture, contract construction, transportation other
than railroads, public utilities other than communications and
electric and gas, and motion pictures and other services.
The number of corporations included has increased from
nearly 4,500 in 1941 to over 5,500 in 1960. Publicly reported
dividend payments in 1958, for example, amounted to about 80
percent of dividend payments as reported for that year, according to corporation tax returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service. The relationship of the publicly reported series
to the totals compiled by the Internal Revenue Service varies
considerably from industry to industry. It should be made
clear that no attempt is made to maintain a conventional
sample, either in the sense of identical firms from year to year,
or in the sense of representing a constant proportion of a changing universe.

1 Source: Moody's Investors Service. The 200 stocks used in
deriving the averages represent, for the most part, an identical
list, except in the public!utility group. Because of the elimination of many utility holding companies and the consequent widen
distribution of operating company shares, a new list of 24 operating electric utilities was included beginning in 1946 and was
chained to the average of the old list (revised to reflect the operating companies only, over the years 1942-45). The result is
a continuous series, representing combined holding and operating
companies prior to 1942 and operating electric companies thereafter.
Dividends are at annual rates (without adjustment for seasonal
variation) and are determined at the end of each month on the
basis of each company's most recent declaration. These dividends are multiplied by the number of each company's common
shares outstanding and the'products are added to obtain aggregate values (for the 200 companies and for companies in each
subgroup, such as industrial, railroad, utilities, etc.), which are
then divided by the total number of shares outstanding, free from
the effects of stock splits and stock dividends, to obtain the pershare figures.
Individual stock prices at the end of each month are used as
the basis for deriving per-share prices. Earnings are net after
taxes and contingencies less preferred dividend requirements
(whether actually paid or not). Data (except for utilities) represent q[uarterly earnings (partly estimated for industrials) at annual rates, i.e., earnings for a given quarter are multiplied by
four; there is no adjustment for seasonal variation. For utilities,
earnings are for 12 months ended each quarter; thus for this
group, variations of a seasonal nature are essentially removed.
The method of computing per-share data on stock prices and
earnings is similar to that used for dividends.
Yields are obtained by dividing per-share dividends by pershare prices.

^ Source: Dow Jones & Co., Inc.; data published in The Wall
Street Journal, The averages are computed from daily closing
prices of representative stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The industrial averages are based on 30 stocks and the
railroad averages on 20 stocks for the entire period beginning
October 1928 and March 1928, respectively; the public utility averages on 20 stocks until June 1938 when the number was reduced
to 15.
Substitutions have been made at various times in the actual
stocks included in the averages, such as when a stock becomes
too inactive, or when its movements, because of an extremely
low price, become so small as to have little effect on the average, etc. Also, over the period covered, a number of split-ups
have occurred in the stocks represented and many large stock
dividends have been paid. To preserve the historical continuity
of the series, adjustments for these changes have been made, including appropriate adjustments of the dividing factors used to
compute the averages.
As of December 1960, for example, instead of adding the closing prices for the 30 industrials, etc., and dividing by the number
of stocks in each group, the computed daily averages were derived by using the following divisors: Industrials, 3.38; rails,
5.234; utilities, 8.53; 65 stocks, 17.58. (The most current dividing factors will be found each day in The Wall Street Journal.)

^Source: Standard & Poor's Corporation. These indexes are
the series introduced by the compilers in early 1957. Currently,
the composite index is based on 500 stocks. For the back record,
the compilers standardized on the former "90 composite" index,
and the "500 composite" was linked to the former data to provide
continuous historical comparisons. Data for 1928 forward are
computed from daily closing prices; for 1926-27, from Friday
closing prices each week.
The formula used is generally defined as a "base-weighted aggregative" expressed in relatives with the average value for the
base period (1941-43) equal to 10. (The base period used r e sults in a price index level that can for most purposes be considered as interchangeable into dollars and cents. In other words,
the level of the index closely approximates the average price level of all the stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange.) The
basic formula is modified as necessary to adjust for arbitrary
price changes caused by the issuance of rights, stock dividends,
split-ups, etc.

of "Security Price Index Record," published by Standard & Poor's

Monthly and annual quantity and unit value indexes have been
constructed in accordance with Fisher's "ideal" method, using
weights from the preceding calendar year and the current period
(month or year). These indexes are combined into annually
chained series, using the 1936-38 average as the reference base.
All value indexes are direct ratios of current values to the average value for the reference base period. Import indexes are
based on general imports through 1933 and on imports for consumption thereafter.
Commodities not directly covered in the index calculations
are taken into account, in both quantity and unit value indexes,
on the basis of assumptions with respect to similarity of average price movements in covered and uncovered commodities
within each of five broad economic classes (crude materials,
crude foodstuffs, manufactured fo(xlstuffs, semimanufactures,
and finished manufactures), or within subdivisions thereof.
Over the period of years included in the series, various
changes have been made in the content and relative coverage
of the index samples. In general, however, selections are
closely comparable from one year to the next, and, except
in the case of finished manufactures, are fairly representative
of the leading classes of exports and imports. The calculations
for finished manufactures are limited by inadequate detail in
the statistical classifications, which do not provide reasonably
homogeneous measures of quantity and unit value for many products.
The commodities included in the index sample for exports
of finished manufactures are almost exclusively civilian-type
products. The relative weight of this economic class in the unitvalue index for total exports, however, covers military as well
as nonmilitary goods.

1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SUR^/EY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
The direct coverage of export indexes declined almost steadily from about two-thirds of the total in 1930 to little more than
one-third during World War 11. During the postwar period, the
export coverage has averaged nearly 45 percent. Commodities
included in the import samples, however, covered close to 70
percent of the total imports except in the war and early postwar
periods, when the coverage was higher, and in 1957-59, when
coverage dropped to 60-65 percent.
Annual indexes prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1947-56
(except 1954 export indexes, both quantity and value, which have
been revised slightly) will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.
The July 1951 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS (p. 27) contains data as follows: Annual indexes for 1913 and from 1919 forward; quarterly, 1929-2d quarter 1933; monthly, July 1933-46.
Data for the individual economic classes mentioned above appear in World Trade Information Service releases of the Bureau
of Foreign Commerce, U. S. Department of Commerce.

The index numbers are computed for a given period by weighting the quantities traded in that period by an average of the unit
values during the 3-year base period. The monthly indexes are
computed directly, both on an unadjusted basis and on a seasonally adjusted basis. The unadjusted data, being less significant
historically, have not been calculated for months prior to January 1958.
TTie export index is based on data for exports of 261 commodity classifications which, during the 1952-54 base period,
amounted to 97 percent of the total value of agricultural exports.
Individual export indexes are also available for animals and
products, unmanufactured tobacco, grains and feeds, vegetable
oils and oilseeds, and fruits and vegetables. The indexes reflect
shipments under the various special programs (see note 1 for p.
106), as well as those under the Army Civilian Supply Program
beginning 1947 (such shipments for earlier years are not availble).
The import index is based on data for imports of 251 commodity classifications which, during the 1952-54 base period, a mounted to 96 percent of the total value of agricultural imports.
Individual indexes are computed for supplementary imports as
follows: Animals and products, grains and feeds, vegetable oils
and oilseeds, and sugar, molasses, and sirups. Complementary
indexes are computed for cocoa, coffee, and tea, and rubber and
allied gums. Supplementary imports consist of all imports similar to agricultural commodities produced commercially in the
United States, together with all other agricultural imports interchangeable to any significant extent with such U. S. commodities. Complementary agricultural imports include all others,
about 97 percent of which consist of rubber, coffee, raw silk,
cocoa beans, wool for carpets, bananas, tea, and spices.
Individual indexes mentioned above are shown in the Department of Agriculture releases. A l l data shown here are on a calendar-year basis; those on a fiscal-year basis are available
from the compiling agency.
Annual indexes prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1955-56 appear in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Monthly
data for 1952-54 are available upon request; for earlier years,
only annual data were computed.

shipments including the weight of containers, wrappings, crates,
and moisture content. The data cover only water-borne trade,
including traffic through Atlantic, Gulf, Pacific, and Great Lakes
ports. They include shipments on all types of watercraft engaged in the foreign trade which are required to make formal
clearance and to file manifests of cargoes laden aboard under
U„ S. Customs Regulations; beginning January 1946, they also include shipments by vessels not required to make formal customs clearances, which include ferryboats and passenger vessels making three or more trips a week between a United States
port and a foreign port. Shipments on such passenger vessels
and by ferry accounted for 1 to 2 percent of the totals in 1946.
Vessel export figures represent exports of domestic and foreign merchandise laden at the U. S. Customs area for shipment
to foreign countries, and include export shipments to civilian
agencies of the U. S. Government as well as those foreign-aid
program shipments which are not controlled by the Department
of Defense.
Elements excluded from the vessel export figures for pertinent periods are as follows: (1) Shipments to U. S. Armed
Forces of military and naval supplies and equipment for their
own use; (2) shipments of "special category" commodities (beginning July 1950); (3) all commodities exported under foreignaid programs as Department of Defense controlled cargo (Department of Defense controlled cargo consists of those shipments under foreign-aid programs-such as the Foreign Operations Administration Program, formerly Mutual Security,
and the Civilian Supply Program-which are exported from the
United States on U. S. A r m y or Navy transports or U. S. flag
commiercial vessels chartered by the Department of Defense
under time, voyage, and space charter arrangements); (4) effective with January 1954, except for the period January through
June 1956, shipments having a value of less than $500 (for the
period January through June 1956, shipments having a value of
less than $1,000). (Prior to January 1954, export shipments of
less than $ 100 were excluded.)
Vessel import figures are general imports and represent the
total of imports for immediate consumption plus entries into
Customs bonded storage and manufacturing warehouses made
at U. S. Customs area from foreign countries. The following
elements are excluded from the vessel import figures: (1)
American goods returned by the U. S. Armed Forces for their
own use; (2) import shipments on Army or Navy transports
and, effective with April 1952 statistics, on vessels under time
and voyage charter to the M i l i t a r y Sea Transportation Service;
(3) prior to 1954, import shipments valued at less than $100
where the shipping weight was less than 10,000 pounds; from
January 1954 through December 1957, imports valued at less
than $100 (irrespective of weight) and those having a shipping
weight of less than 2,000 pounds (irrespective of value); beginning with January 1958 data, only those shipments having a
value of less than $ 100 regardless of shipping weight.
The following types of shipments are excluded from both the
vessel export and import data: (1) Shipments of household and
personal effects; (2) shipments by mail and parcel post; (3)
shipments of vessels under their own power and afloat; (4) m e r chandise shipped in bond through the United States in transit from
one foreign country to another "without having been entered as an
import." (Imported merchandise cleared through Customs and
subsequently reexported is included in both the import and export
statistics.)
Monthly data on shipping vi^eight of both exports and imports,
covering trade by all methodls of transportation, were compiled
by the Bureau of the Census for January 1943 through June 1947;
thereafter data have been compiled for water-borne trade only.
Data for water-borne trade are not available separately by months
prior to January 1946 and the only earlier data available at present are 1943-45 totals for export trade.
Monthly averages for 1950-59 are based on calendar-year totals; for other years, on statistical-year totals. Monthly data
are on a statistical-month basis, i.e., they are tabulated from
reports received in the month, regardless of when the shipment
was made. Adjustments are made at the beginning and end of
each year to arrive at a calendar-year total.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly figures for 1951-56
(statistical-month basis) will be found in the 1959, 1957, and 1955
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Monthly figures for 1946-50
(revised since publication) are available upon request.

Complete details may be found in the current monthly reports,
F T 410 for exports and F T 110 for imports, published by the
Bureau of the Censuso These reports also contain a general explanation of foreign trade statistics, as well as of the sampling
procedures introduced in 1953 and 1954, and the effect of the
sampling procedures on these statistics« (See also last two
paragraphs of this note regarding samplings)
Foreign trade figures as shown in this edition of BUSINESS
STATISTICS incorporate revisions issued with reports through
December 1960; however, for the most recent years, and for
1960 in particular, they are subject to further revision upon r e lease of the final data by the compiling agency.
Data are compiled from copies of Shippers' Export Declarations and Import Entries filed with the U. S« customs officials.
The statistics show trade (except gold and silver in the form of
ore, bullion, and coin) between the U» S. customs area (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 conterminous United
States and the aforenamed areas» The Republic of the Philippines (Philippine Islands prior to July 4, 1946) and the Panama
Canal Zone are considered for these statistical purposes as foreign countries for all years» The Virgin Islands are treated as a
foreign country prior to 1935; since 1940, their trade both with
the United States and with foreign countries is omitted from the
statistics shown in this volumeo
Exports.—Total exports include exports of Uo S. merchandise
plus reexports of foreign merchandise. Export figures cover
all merchandise (other than merchandise in transit through the
United States) shipped from the U. S customs area, with the
o
exception of goods destined to the U. S. Armed Forces abroad
for their own use, and with the further exception of items of
relatively small importance (such as low-value or noncommercial shipments by mail, gifts valued less than $100, household and personal effects, samples, etc.). Data for 1947 have
been adjusted to include goods supplied to civilians through the
U. S. Armed Forces; beginning January 1948 such shipments are
included by the compiling agency., These shipments totaled $908,
343,000 in 1947 and $901,552,000 in 1948; separate data for subsequent years are not available. (Army Civilian Supply shipments were also made in 1943-46, but separate information is
not available and the data are not included in Che export figures
shown.) The export figures also include lend-lease shipments
and shipments made under the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Program and other foreign-^aid and relief programs for periods when such programs are effective, as m^ell as relief shipments made through private relief channels» In other words, two
general types of exports are represented--cash-purchase, or
commercial, and foreign aid and relief. Further details on the
Government programs are given in the following three paragraphs..
Amounts of lend-lease shipments included are as follows (in
thousands of dollars): 1941 (total for 10 months, March-Decemb e r ) , 740,903; 1942, 4,932,739; 1943, 10,357,533; 1944, 11,297,514;
1945, 5,559,810; 1946, 652,901; 1947, 23,532, Lend-lease shipments were negligible during the first half of 1948 and separate
data are not available after June of that year. Lend-lease exports represent merchandise shipped under provision of the LendLease Act of March 1941 which authorized the President to furnish, without compensation, supplies to the Government of any
country whose defense he deemed vital to the defense of the United States„ Shipments of supplies in lend-lease channels at the
close of the war and supplies procured thereafter through lendlease procurement facilities are classified as lend-lease exports,
although after the program officially ceased to operate, the r e cipient nations (with few exceptions) arranged to finance these
shipments prior to the exportation of the merchandiseo Statistics of lend-lease exports are not a measure of the total aid extended to foreign countries under the lend-lease program, but
only a measure of that portion of the aid extended in the form of
commodities exported from the United States^
Shipments made under the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration Program are included beginning September
1944; separate data are as follows (in thousands of dollars) :
253
1944, 609 (total for 3 months, September, November, and December); 1945, 357, 047; 1946, 1,013,383; 1947, 386,622; amounts for
January-June 1948 are negligible and separate data are not available after June 1948. These UNRRA shipments were made in accordance with the provision of the Act of Congress of March 28,
1944, authorizing U. S. participation in the work of the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration.
Other aid and relief shipments, initiated and included during
1947, are the Greek-Turkish aid, International Relief Organization shipments, and exports under the U. S. Foreign- and Interim-Aid programs. Beginning April 1948, exports include shipments initiated under the authority of the Economic Cooperation
Act of April 3, 1948; this act provides for financial assistance to
the 16 nations that met in 1947 to plan the European Recovery
Program. Included in the export figures beginning July 1950 are
shipments, both military and economic aid, authorized by the
Mutual Defense Assistance Program (Mutual Security Program
since 1952), an outgrowth of the North Atlantic Treaty signed
April 4, 1949. Amounts of "military" shipments and, beginning
in early 1956, also consumables and construction shipments
under the program are as follows (millions of dollars): 1950,
July-December, 282.2; 1951, 1,065.1; 1952, 1,997.5; 1953, 3,511.3; 1954, 2,255.0; 1955, 1,256.0; 1956, 1,757.3; 1957, 1,355.4; 1958, 1,543.0; 1959, 1,227.1; 1960, 949.2.
Imports. -Imports include private commercial trade, foreign
merchandise purchased by U. S. Government agencies, merchandise owned by foreign governments and entering this country for
their official use or for storage, and merchandise transferred to
the United States under the reciprocal-aid program (reversed
lend-lease). The import statistics, in general, are a complete
record of merchandise that moves into the United States from
foreign countries (except for in-transit shipments); however,
there are some exclusions of items of relatively small impor tance in terms of total value, such as household and personal
effects, gifts valued at less than $100, and (prior to 1954) all
merchandise reported on informal entries. (See last paragraph
of this note regarding the value limits on formal and informal
entries, as well as the exclusion of quantity data for these en tries.)
General imports represent total arrivals of imported goods
(except for in-transit shipments)-i.e., merchandise released
from Customs custody immediately upon arrival, plus merchandise entered (immediately upon arrival) into bonded storage
warehouses, bonded manufacturing warehouses, and bonded r e fining warehouses. Imports for consumption consist of m e r chandise entered into U. S. consumption channels-i.e., merchandise released from Customs custody immediately upon arrival,
merchandise entered into bonded manufacturing warehouses
(other than smelting and refining warehouses), merchandise
withdrawn from bonded storage warehouses for release into domestic consumption channels, and imported ores and crude metals which have been processed in bonded smelting warehouses
and withdrawn for consumption or for exportation.
Export and import values. —The values stated are in U. S. dollars without reference to changes in the gold content of the dollar. (The statutory price of g o l d 2 0 . 6 7 per ounce-in effect
prior to January 31, 1934, was changed on that date by Executive
Order to $35 per ounce. Between March 10, 1933, and January
31, 1934, the foreign exchange value of the dollar was permitted
to depreciate as a result of the restrictions placed on gold shipments to foreign countries.)
Export values are those declared by the shipper at the time of
exportation. Values of containers and coverings are included.
If the merchandise is produced at an interior place, 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
values, as defined in Sections 402 and 402a of the Tariff Act of
1930 and amended by the Customs Simplification Act of 1956, are
in general based on the market value or price at the time of exportation of such merchandise. Thiese values include the cost of
containers and coverings, as well as other charges and expenses
incident to placing the merchandise in condition, packed ready for
shipment to the United States, but exclude import duties,insurance, ocean freight, and other charges incident to arrival of the
goods in the United States. (Transportation costs to the United
States may inadvertently be included in the case of merchandise
254
1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SUR^/EY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
not subject to an import duty based on value.) U. S. import duties are excluded. The foreign values of imported merchandise
are converted into U. S. currency at the rate of exchange prevailing on the day the merchandise is shipped to the United
States, in accordance with Section 522 of the Tariff Act of 1930
and/or the Customs Simplification Act of 1956. The latter Act
revised the procedure by granting authority to continue to use
the same rate of exchange for each currency for a 3-month
period so long as the rate on any particular day did not vary
from it by 5 percent or more.
Sampling.-Effective with statistics for July 1953, sampling
procedures for low-value shipments were instituted in compiling
export and import statistics. In export statistics beginning July
1953 (except for the period January through June 1956), quantities
and values of shipments individually valued $100 to $499 (representing about 5 percent of the monthly export value totals) are
estimated on the basis of a 10-percent sample of such shipments.
In the export statistics for the period January through June 1956
quantities! and values of shipments individually valued $ 100 to
$999 (representing about 10 to 12 percent of the monthly export
value totals) are estimated on the basis of a 10-percent sample
of such shipments. Beginning January 1960, the sample ratio for
estimating exports was increased to 50 percent for countries
other than Canada.
In the import statistics for July-December 1953, values for
under $100 shipments (about 1/lOth of 1 percent of total import
value) for immediate consumption filed on formal entries are
estimated from a 10-percent sample of such shipments. These
estimated values are excluded from the detailed commodity figures but are included in the overall total and country totals and,
arbitrarily, in the economic class total for "finished manufactures." Beginning January 1954, values for
to $250 formal
and informal entry shipments for immediate consumption (about
1 percent of total import value) are estimated from a 5 -percent
sample of such shipments (all informal entries were excluded
prior to 1954). Effective September 1953 the value limit for informal entries was raised from $100 to $250 and beginning January 1954 informal entries have been included in the import statistics of value (but not in the quantity data). These estimated
values are excluded from the detailed commodity totals but are
included in the overall totals and are distributed, as appropriate,
in the commodity-group, country, and economic-class totals.
Effective January 1958 the data include, on a fully compiled basis,
all imports individually valued at $100 or more reported on formal entries, and, on the basis of a 1-percent sample, all imports
on formal entries individually valued at less than $ 100, as well
as all imports reported on informal entries ($250 or less). The
estimated values are included in the overall and country totals,
and in the economic class total for "finished manufactures."
2 Export statistics generally show country of ultimate destination; if this is not known, country of consignment. Goods consigned to the armed forces or other representatives of any foreign country stationed in another foreign country are credited to
the country to which the goods are physically sent. Imports are
shown by country of origin, except that where the importer cannot readily obtain information as to the country of origin, the
country of shipment is reported. In addition, countries reported
as origin may actually represent shipment for merchandise
which is transshipped before it reaches the United States. For
some areas, prewar boundaries are still designated to serve for
statistical purposes in foreign trade schedules but in practice,
since the close of the war, de facto boundaries have generally
served. However, import commodities that are required to be
stamped with the country of origin are credited to the country
shown in the foreign trade schedules rather than to the de facto
country.
Monthly averages are based on 12 months in a l l cases, although
during the war period there was no trade with the enemy and
blockaded countries in most months.
For 1929-38 monthly averages and 1955-56 monthly figures
(except minor revisions for 1956 exports to Canada), see the 1959
edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Monthly figures for 1951-54
appear in the 1957 and 1955 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS;
however, data for January-May 1954 for total exports and for
Europe have been revised to include $3,500,000 additional shipments to Turkey; also, the 1952 monthly averages for Europe,
Northern and Southern North America, and South America as
shown in the 1955 volume are incorrect (see later volumes).
Monthly figures for 1949 and 1950 appear in the 1953 volume;
those for 1947 and 1948, in the 1951 volume (there have been
scattered revisions of the published figures). Monthly data for
1941-46 (except revisions mentioned below) are shown in the 1949
and 1947 volumes. Most of the published 1946 monthly figures
have since been revised. There have been minor revisions in the
1944 monthly data for general imports for total Latin American
Republics; revisions for August and October 1943 for the same
series are $131,401,000 and $129,775,000, respectively. Also
there have been revisions for 1942-56 of certain previously published monthly figures for imports, to adjust for revaluation of
tin-ore imports; these monthly revisions are available for total
general imports and imports for consumption (total and by
economic classes).
Monthly averages back to 1913 and monthly figures for 193840, except for Colombia and Venezuela, are available in the 1942
SUPPLEMENT. Monthly figures for 1923-37 for total exports, including reexports, total general imports, and exports and imports
for geographic regions, and for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico,
Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan are
shown in the 1940, 1938, 1936, and 1932 volumes. The published
figures are correct except for minor revisions in the figures in
the 1932 volume and two major changes as follows: Total exports, including reexports, August 1929, $380,565,000; Europe,
total, April 1931, $94,634,000.
3 Formerly Egypt; present designation effective July 1, 1958.
^Beginning January 1958, data are for Colony of Singapore
only; prior thereto they are for British Malaya which includes
Federation of Malaya as well as Singapore. Exports to Federation of Malaya for 1958 totaled $7,983,000.
5 Burma included prior to January 1, 1938.
^Japanese Mandated Islands included with Japan prior to January 1, 1942. Exports to Japan in 1942, 1943, and 1945 represent
relief shipments, including shipments to prisoners of war in Japan for 1943 and 1945. Figures for 1947 and subsequent years
include goods supplied to occupied areas through the U. S. Armed
Forces (these data were not included in earlier years); shipments
to Japan under the Civilian Supply Program amounted to $354,380,000 in 1947 and $246,338,000 in 1948. Separate figures on
shipments under this program have not been published for years
subsequent to 1948.
^ Based on annual total which includes revisions not distributed
by months.
^Data for 1947 for the pertinent series are adjusted to include
shipments under the Army Civilian Supply Program (see 4th
paragraph of note 1 for this page). Beginning 1948, such shipments
are included by the compiling agency.
^ Beginning July 1950, data (except total exports of merchandise) exclude "special category" shipments. However, the totals
upon which the monthly averages for 1951-57 are based may not
agree with the sum of the months due to the inclusion in the total
for those years of some special category items since removed
from the restricted list. These items (available through 1957 on
annual basis only) are included in the monthly and annual data beginning 1958.
See note 9 above, explaining the difference between the total
and the sum of data for geographic regions.
See note 4 for this page regarding change affecting the comparability of the data.
The July 1959 total includes approximately $15 million carried over from May and June because of an abnormal delay in
reporting; appropriate amounts are included in data for regions
and countries.

BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION
2 For statistical purposes, trade w i t h Germany was defined to
include (insofar as ascertainable) trade with German-occupied
areas f r o m the following dates u n t i l the close of the war: Austria,
May 6, 1938; Sudeten area of Czecho-Slovakia, November 10, 1938;
other Czecho-Slovak provinces (Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia
and part of Slovakia), M a r c h 18, 1939; and Danzig and the G e r man-occupied parts of Poland, November 16, 1939. Trade with
Germany includes also trade with Memel territory of Lithuania
from March 25, 1939, until January 1, 1948. An explanation of the
statistical coverage for Germany and other countries after the
close of the war is included in note 2 for p. 106 referred to above.
Exports to Germany in the years 1942 through 1948 represent
mainly relief shipments; data for 1947 and subsequent years include goods supplied to occupied areas through the U. S.
Armed Forces, amounting to $456,574,000 in 1947 and $586,521,000 in 1948. Separate figures on shipments under this program
have not been published for years subsequent to 1948,
^ Data for 1947 include goods supplied to occupied areas
through the U. S. Armed Forces, amounting to $9,108,000 for
that year. No goods were supplied to Italy through this channel
in 1948.
^ Includes Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in Asia and
Europe.
5 Data for Newfoundland and Labrador, which technically became a province of Canada on April 1, 1949, are included in figures shown here beginning January 1950 only,. Exports to Newfoundland and Labrador for January -December 1949 totaled
$18,515,000; the corresponding figure for 1948 is $32,260,000.

2 Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1929-56,
with exceptions noted below, will be found in earlier editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.
The 1929 monthly average for iron and steel m i l l products on
p. I l l of the 1959 volume should read $16,679,000. The JanuaryMay 1954 totals for exports and nonagricultural products, as well
as the 1941-54 data for manufactured foodstuffs and beverages
and finished manufactures (see note 3 below), as published in the
1957 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS and earlier volumes have
been revised. Also, the 1947 and 1948 figures shown in the 1951
volume have been revised. Monthly data prior to 1949 have not
been published for tobacco and manufactures, coal and related
fuels, and tractors, parts, and accessories. There have been
minor revisions in the 1946 data, and in the figures in the 1932
SUPPLEMENT; also, the 1936 figures for unmanufactured cotton
have been revised. Data beginning 1935 for machinery, as shown
in the 1940 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS, have been revised to include diesel and semi-diesel marine engines. Packinghouse products are shown as "meats and fats" in SUPPLEMENTS prior to
1942. Monthly averages for total agricultural and total nonagricultural products shown in the 1942 SUPPLEMENT for years
prior to 1919 are for fiscal years ended June 30.
3 Effective with the statistics for July 1950, all semimanufac• tures reported under "special category, type 1" commodity classifications have been included under finished manufactures.
Beginning 1941, the data for manufactured foodstuffs and beverages include private relief shipments of food products, which,
in the 1957 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS, were shown under
finished manufactures. This adjustment has been made on an
annual basis only for the years 1941-53. Monthly data corresponding to the monthly averages shown herein for 1954 are
available on request.
Because of changes in the export schedule, figures for JanuaryJune 1956 are not entirely comparable with those for other p e r i ods. However, the monthly averages for 1956 are based on annual totals which do not reflect the schedule changes and are,
therefore, comparable with monthly averages for earlier years.
^ Includes data not shown separately; see also note 8 for this
page.
5 Includes linters.
^ Beginning January 1948, figures have been adjusted (in accordance with the 1949 revision of the export schedule) to include
fruit juices. Exports of fruit juices in 1948 amounted to $13,783,-
000.
7 Packinghouse products include total meat products, animal
oils and fats (edible), and animal oils and greases (inedible), except fish oils. Beginning January 1948, figures have been adjusted
(in accordance with the 1949 revision of the export schedule) to
exclude oleomargarine. Exports of oleomargarine in 1948
amounted to $1,107,000.
^ Manufactures of tobacco are included in nonagricultural products total instead of in agricultural products total.
9 Based on annual total which includes revisions not distributed
by months. See 2d paragraph of note 3 for this page regarding
manufactured foodstuffs and beverages and finished nianufactures.
^^ Data for 1947 for the pertinent series are adjusted to include shipments under the Army Civilian Supply Program (see
note 1 for p. 106)„ Beginning 1948, such shipments are included
by the compiling agency.
^ ^ Adjusted for comparability with succeeding data (see note 6
above for fruits, etc., and note 7 above for packinghouse products).
See note 3 for this page regarding changes affecting comparability of the figures.

trade statistics, as well as for information regarding the inclusion beginning 1947 of shipments under the Army Civilian Supply Program; also, see note 2 for p^ 108 for references to earlier data.
^ Includes data not shown separately.
^ Excludes automobile service appliances and parts, and t r a i l ers. Beginning January 1948, data have been adjusted (to conform
to the 1949 revision of the export schedule) to exclude exports of
industrial trucks and to include those of electric busses and
trackless trolleys.
The figures from January 1951 forward have been adjusted (to
conform to the 1952 revision of the export schedule) as follows:
Data formerly included for spark plugs and pumps transferred to
electrical machinery and industrial machinery, respectively;
service machinery and equipment:, formerly elsewhere, now included.
"Special category" data are excluded during the period from
July 1949 through 1951.
^ Represents the total "chemicals and related products" group
as shown in the original foreign trade reports; includes chemicals (coal-tar, industrial, medicinal), pigments, paints, and v a r nishes,! fertilizers and materials, explosives, soap, and toilet
preparations. Beginning January 1948, data have been adjusted

1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SUR^/EY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
(in accordance with the 1949 revision of the export schedule) to
include exports of vulcanized fiber sheets and printing ink. Beginning January 1954, jet fuel (totaling < 1,719,000 in 1953) formerly
1

included with chemicals, etc., is included with petroleum and
products.
"Special category" items are excluded beginning July 1950;
however, as these items are removed from the restricted list
the data are again included iri the export statistics.
5 Data through 1951 are for iron and steel m i l l products as
shown in Schedule B (classification of exports). Beginning 1952,
the monthly averages are based on totals which have been adjusted to include also iron and steel nails, staples and spikes, steel
pipe fittings, and metal fencing and netting. These adjustments
have been made on a monthly basis beginning January 1957.
^ Includes office appliances and printing machinery in addition
to the classes of machinery shown separately. See note 8 r e garding the inclusion (beginning 1948) of data for copper wire
and cable. Beginning May 1949, "special category" data are
excluded.
^ Prior to 1948, exports of tractors, etc., are included with
those of agricultural machinery. Data for tractors for May 1949
through 1951 exclude "special category" exports.
S Figures beginning January 1948 reflect the transfer of insulated copper wire and cable from the "copper and manufactures"
group to the "electrical machinery" group. This transfer was
made to adjust to groupings outlined in the 1949 revision of the
export schedule. Data beginning with January 1951 have been
adjusted in accordance with the 1952 revision of the export
schedule. For the period May 1949-December 1954, "special

comparable with those for other periods. The "special category" exclusions affect the data through 1951 for all indicated
items, as well as data from 1952 forward for the following
items: Chemicals and related products; total machinery; electrical machinery (through 1954 only); and metalworking ma^chinery. In general, however, the exclusions beginning 1952
are not so significant as formerly, since various commodities
were shifted from type 1 to type 11 special category and, for
type 11, the publication of data (except by destination) is p e r missible.

^Source: Civil Aeronautics Board. Effective 1st quarter 1957,
data are as reported under the revised uniform system of accounts and reports by all certificated domestic trunk airlines;
the 1956 data shown herein have been revised accordingly, insofar as possible. Comparison of data for 1956 on the former and
revised bases shows no appreciable differences in the summary
totals published in this volume, except for operating expenses
(in 1956, these totaled $ 1,163.0 million on the new basis and
$1,162.2 million on the old).
For comparability with data from 1956 forward, the 1954 and
1955 figures for mail revenues (and pertinent totals) have been
adjusted to exclude Federal mail subsidy payments (such payments in fiscal 1952 totaled $6.4 million; in 1953, $3.5 million;
and in fiscal 1954, $3.9 million). Also, the data through 1955 r e flect adjustments for out-of-period mail pay (data beginning
257
1956 are for period reported; i.e., unadjusted for period in
which earned).
The data relate only to domestic business of scheduled domestic trunk (passenger-cargo) carriers; however, they include,
beginning 1959, total domestic operations intra - Alaska and intra Hawaii, which in that year averaged operating revenues of $6.5
million per quarter. The figures shown, therefore, exclude international and territorial operations of these airlines, as well
as operations of international and territorial (including system
data for Alaska Airlines), local-service, helicopter, all-cargo,
and nonscheduled carriers. Total operating revenues include
Federal nontr an sport subsidies and other nontransport income.
Transport revenues cover, in addition to types shown separately,
charter and other transport income. Property revenues comprise
express, freight, and excess passenger baggage revenues.
The original CAB reports, "Air Carrier Financial Statistics,"
contain further detailed items of revenue and expenses, and operating data for other types of airlines, by individual carrier.
Quarterly data for 1955-56 are in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS
STATISTICS; quarterly data prior to 1955 are available from the
reports of the CAB.
2 Total includes other revenues not shown separately.
3 Sources: Civil Aeronautics Board (beginning January 1945);
U. S. Department of Commerce, Civil Aeronautics Administration
and predecessor agencies (prior to 1945). See note 4 for this
page regarding source of data for airmail ton-miles prior to
1945.
Data cover scheduled operations of all certificated domestic
trunk (passenger-cargo) airlines operating in the United States
(including, beginning 1959, total domestic operations intraAlaska and intra-Hawaii) and serving primarily the larger communities, according to the latest classification of such lines by the
Civil Aeronautics Board. Data, therefore, exclude international
and territorial operations of these airlines, as well as operations
of international and territorial, local-service, helicopter, a l l cargo, and nonscheduled carriers. During 1959, when total domestic operations intra-Ala ska and intra-Hawaii were first included, revenue passenger miles flown in these two States averaged 12.4 million miles per month.
For the period shown here, there have been several mergers
of local service carriers with trurikline carriers; the comparability of the data is affected by less than 1 percent by the inclusion of operations of these smaller carriers. Figures for
Colonial Airlines, operating from New York to Montreal, are included beginning January 1945, since most of the mileage of this
line is in the United States. Earlier data have not been revised
to include this company; however, it accounted for only 1.5
percent of the passengers carried in 1945.
All data cover revenue traffic only, whereas data relating to
passenger traffic shown in SUPPLEMENTS prior to the 1947
issue cover revenue and nonrevenue passengers. There is duplication in the figures for number of passengers where the
same passengers are carried by more than one air carrier and
also, in the figures prior to 1945, where some passengers are
carried on more than one route of an air carrier. Monthly averages for 1942-44 (based on annual totals) excluding the duplication existing where passengers are carried on more than one
route of the same carrier are as follows: 1942, 251,000; 1943,
238,000; 1944, 322,000. Data excluding this duplication are not
available prior to 1942. Data beginning January 1957 for passengers originated represent an unduplicated count of passengers
originating journeys on lines of each reporting carrier and exclude layover passengers. It is not known to what extent comparability with earlier data is affected, but it is believed to be
small. There is no duplication in the figures for ton-miles and
passenger-miles which take into account the distance carried.
A "ton-mile" is equivalent to one ton carried one mile and a
"passenger-mile" is equivalent to one passenger carried one
mile.
Monthly data are available from the Board beginning 1946 for
local-service airlines and international and territorial lines in
addition to data for trunklines shown here.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1941-56
(for all series), for 1932-40 (for revenue miles flown), and for
1931-40 (for airmail ton -miles) will be found in earlier editions
of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this
258
1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SUR^/EY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
volume. (The data for airmail ton-miles in early editions, as
mentioned above, are shown under the heading "postal business"
in the Domestic Trade section and are in pound-miles; they
should therefore be converted to ton-miles by dividing by 2,000
for comparison with figures shown here.) Monthly figures for
1935-40 for express and freight ton-miles and revenue passengers
carried and for 1936-40 for revenue passenger-miles are a v a i l able upon request.
4 Data prior to 1945 are from the U. S. Post Office Department
and are approximately comparable with later data from the
Civil Aeronautics Board. Whereas the figures shown prior to
1945 include certain additional operations, they also omit other
operations which are included beginning 1945; the 1945 monthly
average entirely comparable with earlier figures is 5,405,000
ton-miles.
5 Data for financial operations are quarterly averages.
6 Figures for 1939-42 are quarterly averages of operating
profits, not net income.
7 Data beginning 1954 exclude payments of Federal mail subsidy; such payments are included in averages for earlier years
(see 2d paragraph of note 1 for this page). Also, mail revenues
for 1939-55 reflect adjustments for out-of-period pay.

^ Source: Interstate Commerce Commission. Data cover total
operations of the Railway Express Agency, Inc., formerly the
American Railway Express Co., as reported to the Commission
and also, through June 1938, operations of the Southeastern Express Co., which was absorbed by the Railway Express Agency in
July 1938. The data represent practically complete coverage of
the express business on railroads, plus the express operations
involved in servicing motor carriers, electric lines, water carriers, and airways.
Transportation revenues represent charges (by the express
company) to customers for express service, plus some miscellaneous transportation charges. Express-privilege payments are
amounts paid by the express company to the carriers for the conduct of express operations. Such payments are derived by subtracting from income (i.e., the sum of charges for transportation,
revenue from operations other than transportation, other income
credits, and profit and loss credits) the following items: Operating expenses, taxes, other deductions from income, and profit
and loss debits.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1949-56

at top of p. 197 of this volume; monthly data for 1929-48 are
available upon request.
2 Source: American Transit Association. Data beginning 1945
for average cash fares are based on fares paid in more than 400
cities, each having a population of 25,000 or more, according to
the 1950 Census (data prior to 1945 are adjusted to fares paid in
selected cities according to earlier decennial censuses). The
average fare is unweighted, i.e., the cash fare of the dominant
transit company in 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 trolley-bus operators have
been substituted where such services have replaced street r a i l ways.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1951-56
for the current series on cash fares (i.e., based on selected
cities according to the 1950 Census) appear in the 1959, 1957,
and 1955 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS; comparable
monthly data for August 1945-December 1950 are available
upon request.
Data for revenue passengers carried and operating revenues
are estimated totals for all organized local passenger transportation agencies, including electric street railways, elevated
and subway lines, interurban electric railways, trolley-coach
lines, and all common-carrier local motorbus lines. Excluded
from the figures are long distance interstate motor carriers.
suburban railroads, sightseeing buses, school buses, and taxicabs.
The estimates of passengers and revenues are based on monthly reports from member and nonmember companies whose operations (in terms of revenue or traffic) represent approximately
80 percent of the total transit industry, and on annual reports
which include additional companies and which account for more
than 85 percent of the industry. The monthly averages for 1939
and 1940 for operating revenues are computed from annual
totals.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1941-56
for passengers and operating revenues are in earlier editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p, 197 of this volume.
Monthly figures for 1936-40 for passengers carried are available

3 Source: Interstate Commerce Commission. The data are
compiled from quarterly reports from a varying number of regulated carriers that furnish complete reports to the Commission.
For the carriers of property, data beginning 1955 cover class I
intercity motor carriers, i.e,, those having average annual gross
operating revenues of $1,000,000 or above. Overlapping figures
for 1954 and 1955, respectively, as reported by 783 class I motor
carriers of property are as follows—expressed as quarterly
averages: Operating revenues—$696,164,000; $804,128,000;
expenses—$671,818,000; $770,639,000; freight carried—47,885,000 tons; 55,266,000 tons. ( F o r the period 1955-56, the reporting
carriers were designated as "large" carriers; beginning 1957,
as "class I".) For both carriers of property and of passengers,
the figures beginning 1949 (through 1954 for commodity carriers) cover class I motor carriers, defined as those with
$200,000 or more of operating revenues; earlier data cover carriers with operating revenues of $100,000 or more. Comparison of data for the year 1949 based on the two definitions indicates that there is less than 1 percent difference in terms of
operating revenues.
Carriers of property represent intercity carriers of all types of
commodities, comprising common carriers of general and special
commodities and intercity contract carriers; data include both
common and contract services of these carriers. Tonnage of
revenue freight carried includes duplications'on account of tonnage received from connecting motor carriers. Intercity revenue
passengers carried represent those reported by intercity c a r r i e r s operating intercity schedules, local and suburban schedules,
and charter or special service. C a r r i e r s reporting both intercity schedules and local and suburban schedules are classified
as intercity carriers if the average revenue per passenger c a r ried is in excess of 20 cents. (The figures shown here do not
cover operations of local or suburban carriers.)
Quarterly averages for 1938 and quarterly data (1949-56 for
carriers of passengers and 1951-56 for carriers of property)
are in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated
at top of p. 197 of this volume. (For the carriers of property,
statistics shown in the 1953 volume for the period 1945-52 r e late to intercity common carriers of general commodities only;
for 1938-44, to carriers of all types of commodities as shown
here.) Quarterly data for 1938-48 for carriers of passengers
and for 1938-50 for carriers of a l l types of commodities are
available upon request.
^Data for motor carriers are quarterly averages. These averages are based on annual totals for the number of carriers r e porting in the final quarter of the year.

The 1957-60 monthly figures as shown here are totals derived
from reported weekly loadings. The number of weeks ending in
each month of 1960 governs the number of weeks represented in
259
BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION
the monthly totals f o r that year, as w e l l as for the preceding 3
years, except that the number i s adjusted, whenever necessary,
in order to include 13 weeks in each quarter. The 1957-60 monthly totals in this volume are based on exactly 4 weeks, with the
exception of those for January, April, July, October, and December, which cover 5 weeks.
The monthly figures shown in the 1959 edition and earlier
issues of BUSINESS STATISTICS cover the weekly data which
were combined on the basis of the number of weeks ending in each
month of the last year shown in each volume, respectively.
Weekly figures for 1945-59 by type of commodity loaded are
given in the report of the Association of American Railroads
relating to cars of revenue freight loaded (issued January 8,1960).
2 Source: The indexes are computed by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System from weekly data compiled by the
Association of American Railroads. In computing the indexes,
monthly loadings are derived 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 1957 daily average.
Allowance is made for Sundays,
New Year's Day, Washington's Birthday (1/2 day) through February 1942, 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 is used. For
the seasonal factors for ore loadings, the usual procedure has
been 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 2 months in the period (except for October and November 1959 for which data reflect the steel-strike period). In
maintaining the index currently, preliminary indexes are computed for April and October and these are revised when the succeeding month's figures become available. Similarly for the livestock index, June and July have been treated as a single period
for seasonal adjustment. Changes have been made in the seasonal
adjustment factors from time to time to reflect changes in the
seasonal pattern.
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. These weights are as follows: Coal, 21.3; coke,
0.7; forest products, 5.8; grain and grain products, 5.6; livestock, 1.8; merchandise, l . c . l . , 7.6; ore, 2.4; miscellaneous,
54.8.
At the time of publication of this volume, freight carloadings
indexes are being revised by the source to incorporate new
weights and new seasonal adjustment factors for recent periods;
the indexes will also be calculated on a new base period.
Monthly averages for 1929-58 and monthly data for 1938-58,
related to the base period 1935-39 = 100, are in earlier editions
of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this
volume. Note that data for the years 1939-40 are correct except for revisions in the indexes for grain, livestock (June and
July only), ore, miscellaneous, and the total, and a few additional
one-point revisions. Monthly indexes for 1931-37 are available
on pp. 21 and 22 of the August 1941 SURVEY. For earlier
monthly indexes, together with a detailed description of the
methods used in computing the index, see the Federal Reserve
Bulletins for June 1937, pp. 522 and 523, and for June 1941, pp.
529-533.

class I group. The net effect of the change in classification is
to reduce reported total operating revenues of class 1 railroads
by less than one-tenth of one percent.) During the 1939-60 period, the operating revenues of class I roads, exclusive of
switching and terminal companies, represented over 95 percent
of the total operating revenues of all roads.
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 r e visions made in the figures for the earlier year are included in
the SURVEY presentation; hence data for the maximum number
of railroads are not always included. For this reason, the data
shown here may differ slightly from those appearing in annual
reports of the Commission entitled "Transport Statistics in the
United States" (formerly, "Statistics of Railways in the United
States"). In addition, several carriers make their monthly r e ports on a system basis which does not obtain in the annual r e ports. This difference in reporting, however, has not appreciably affected the comparability of the data. Monthly averages
are based on 12-month summaries which may include revisions
not distributed by months.
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 total income (net railway operating income plus other income) the fixed charges and- certain
miscellaneous items. It therefore represents income after all
charges and taxes and before dividends. The monthly averages
for financial operations, which are based on annual summaries
issued in the monthly series, include some revisions not distributed to the monthly figures.
Data for freight carried 1 mile include both revenue and nonrevenue freight. Revenue passengers carried 1 mile relate to
all revenue passengers, including commutation and multiple rirde.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1934-56
(except 1934-37 figures for taxes and joint facility and equipment
rents) will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS
as indicated at top of p, 197 of this volume. Earlier monthly data
are available as follows: Operating revenues and expenses and
net railway operating income, 1922-33-p. 20 of the April 1934
SURVEY; net income, 1932-33-1936 SUPPLEMENT (monthly
data for 1931 are available upon request); operating results, 192333 (except for minor revisions in 1923-31 figures)~1936 and 1932
SUPPLEMENTS. Monthly data for 1922-37 for taxes and joint facility and equipment rents may be obtained by deducting operating
expenses and net railway operating income from operating revenues.
^ For September -December 1945 a number of carriers included, in their charges to operating expenses for amortization of
defense projects, amounts in excess of normal accruals and credits to railway tax accruals because of the shortened period of
amortization of these projects; the total amounts of such charges
to operating expenses and credits to railway tax accruals for
1945 were $593,885,000 and $433,867,000, respectively. In 1946
a number of carriers included, in their Federal income tax accruals, credits covering refunds of 1944 and 1945 taxes on account of carry-backs in the 1946 unused excess profits credit and
net operating loss; these credits totaled $170,491,000 for the
year 1946.

actual weight of cargo carried. A net ton represents 100 cubic feet carrying capacity after prescribed allowance for space
occupied by crew, engines, and other machinery, etc. All types
of watercraft engaged in foreign trade which are required to
make formal clearance are included in the statistics. The following types of vessels touching port but not considered to be engaged
in foreign trade are excluded: Vessels in distress or for repairs,
not discharging or lading cargo; to effect crew changes or take
on bunker fuel, provisions, etc.; in traffic exclusively between
the United States and noncontiguous territories; U. S. Army and
Navy vessels clearing without commercial cargo, and foreign
military or naval craft, etc. Data for the period July 1951December 1952 exclude vessels under time and voyage charter

^ Source: Horwath and Horwath. Data represent a compilation
from reports of a large number of hotels, transient and residential. Prior to 1942, reports were received from between 300 and
400 hotels in about 140 cities (both large and small) located in
30 States. The number of contributing hotels and the number of
cities declined during the war years. For the 1942-46 period,
data are based on reports from between 250 and 350 hotels in
about 110 cities. In 1952, the survey was expanded to include a
larger number of cities and regions and the data reflect reports
from some 400 hotels located throughout the country. Practically
a l l 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. Data beginning 1951 for the occupancy
rate have been adjusted to the levels of the 1948 Census of Business. The restaurant sales indexes for each month are related
to the corresponding month of the base year 1951. 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
corresponding month in the preceding year) based on the reports
received. These indexes include both food and beverage sales.
Data for the principal cities are included in the original Horwath
and Horwath reports.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1929-56

14, 1940). Data are compiled from passenger manifests or lists
required by law and from regulations prepared for vessels and
aircraft traveling betv/een the United States and foreign countries.
Data cover arrivals and departures of aliens and citizens, by
sea and air, between ports of the United States (defined as ports
of the U. S. mainland, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and
U. S. Virgin Islands; also U. S. immigration offices located in
Canada) and foreign territory. Therefore, travel between foreign
countries and outlying areas is covered (for Guam, beginning
September 1952 for arrivals and February 1953 for departures).
The Philippine Islands are treated as a foreign country for all
periods; hence citizens of the Islands admitted to the United States
are included as alien arrivals. Excluded from the figures are
crewmen, military personnel, and insular traffic between the
United States and outlying areas. (For data on insular travel, including travel between the United States and Hawaii prior to
statehood, see Annual Reports of INS.)
Aliens are defined as immigrants arriving to establish r e s i dence here; nonimmigrants coming for temporary stays (e.g.,
tourists, students, government officials, etc.); and resident aliens
returning from visits abroad.
Comparability of the figures is affected in January 1945 and
July 1958 in accordance with details given below.
Figures beginning 1945 for arrivals and departures of U. .S.
citizens and aliens exclude all travel via international land, borders,
except* for Mexican air travel which is included effective July 1958
and except for a limited amount of Canadian and Mexican travel
considered as nonborder traffic. Prior to 1945, "permanent" a r rivals and departures (those involving a period of stay of a year
or more) via international land borders are included. For 1945,
land-border arrivals of citizens approximated 4 percent of total
arrivals and land-border departures, 2 percent of total departures.
(Persons habitually crossing and recrossing international land
borders are not included for any period.)
Passenger cruise travel (passengers making cruises or round
trips without change of vessel) is included effective July 1958 but
excluded prior thereto. For figures for July 1958 through January

BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION
Figures for 1929-44 (as shown here and in the 1959, 1957, and
1955 volumes of BUSINESS STATISTICS) represent monthly a v e r ages based on f i s c a l year totals of citizens and aliens admitted and
departed; for aliens, the a r r i v a l s data cover admissions plus a r r i v a l s of nonadmitted aliensc Monthly averages f r o m 1945 f o r w a r d
are based on calendar year totals; for some years, the averages
are computed f r o m annual totals which include revisions not d i s tributed to the monthly data.
Monthly averages p r i o r to 1939 and monthly data for 1951-56
w i l l be found in the BUSINESS STATISTICS volumes mentioned
above; monthly data for 1945-50 are available upon request. (Data
shown in the 1953 and earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS
are on a different basis.)

represent total passports issued, including renewals; a single
passport may cover more than one trip and more than one person.
Passports issued to American seamen as required by the State
Department from February 1942 to August 1945 are included in
the figures.
Rules governing renewal of passports have been revised. Originally, passports were issued for 2 years and could be renewed
for 2 more years. Effective September 14, 1959, the potential life
of the passport has been extended to 5 years; the passport is i s sued for 3 years and can be renewed for 2 more years. Through
1960, renewals had accounted for approximately 15 percent of
total passports issued and renewed.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1929-56
are in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at

3 Source: U. S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Data are compiled from reports from all national parks
in the United States,
The parks covered are Acadia, Big Bend (opened 1944), Bryce
Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns, Crater Lake, Everglades (opened
December 1947), Glacier, Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, Great
Smoky Mountains, Hawaii, Hot Springs, Isle Royale (opened 1940),
Kings Canyon, Lassen Volcanic, Mammoth Cave, Mesa Verde,
Mt. McKinley, Mt. Rainer, Olympic, Piatt, Rocky Mountain,
Sequoia, Shenandoah, Wind Cave, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and
Zion. Monthly figures are available for all parks only beginning
October 1940. Monthly averages prior to 1941 are for the travel
year, October 1 to September 30. The original reports also
cover visits and "vistor-days" (overnight stays) to specified national monuments, historical areas, parkways, recreation areas,
memorial parks, and the National Capital Park System.
The term "number of visits" has been substituted for "number
of visitors" (used prior to January 1959). A "visit" is the entry
«of any person into a national park in order to make use of services, conveniences, or facilities provided by the National Park
Service; a person who enters a park seve ral times in a month
or year is counted as a "visit" at each entry. Beginning January
1960, the figures are not directly comparable with data through
1959 because of revised methods of data-collection and, because,
for several parks, the statistical definition of a "visit" has been
changed. Comparison of January 1960 data on the old basis with
data for January 1959 shows an increase of approximately 15 percent.

Parks) are available upon request.

principal domestic telephone carriers reporting monthly to the
Commission; these carriers account for more than 90 percent of
the annual gross operating revenues of the telephone industry in
the United States (the figures include combined telephone and
radiotelegraph operations in Hawaii but exclude any figures for
Alaska.)
Beginning January 1954, only those companies having an annual
gross operating revenue of $1,000,000 or more are required to
report monthly to the Commission; prior thereto, the reporting
requirement was $250,000 or more of annual revenues.
Operating statistics for certain months reflect adjustments
for refunds which cannot be allocated to the periods in which
they properly belong; such refunds are not sufficiently large to
seriously distort comparisons.
Figures beginning 1942 for total operating revenues and operating expenses are shown after elimination of major company
duplications (e.g., license fees, rentals, dividend payments, etc.)
for the Bell System; the earlier data are based on carriers r e porting monthly and are not availsible exclusive of duplications.

Monthly total operating revenues and expenses through 1946 are
unadjusted for intercompany duplications; station revenues prior
to 1937 are not available separately. Scattered revisions for
1948 and prior years are in the corresponding note in the 1957

2 Source: Federal Communications Commission. Data are
compiled from the reports of telegraph carriers (wire, oceancable, and radiotelegraph) accounting for practically the entire
telegraph industry in the United States (except for Alaska and
Hawaii; the radiotelegraph operations for Hawaii are included
in the figures for telephone operations). Through December
1947, the reports cover carriers having annual operating revenues of $50,000 or more; thereafter, carriers having annual
operating revenues of $250,000 or more. The change as of
January 1948 in the reporting basis resulted in the omission of
one previously reporting radiotelegraph carrier. This carrier,
however, accounted for only 0.3 percent of the total operating
revenues of radiotelegraph carriers in 1947 and 1948. The landline and cable operations of the Western Union Telegraph Company have been segregated and statistics for the separate categories are shown here under data for wire-telegraph and cable
carriers, respectively. Figures for wire-telegraph and radiotelegraph carriers include comparatively small amounts for
telephone operations. "Net operating revenues" equals operating revenues less operating expenses and depreciation, op-

STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. Combined figures for wire and ocean-cable systems shown in the
1942 SUPPLEMENT are not comparable with combined totals of
the separate figures shown in subsequent volumes because of
changes in the accounting systems. For radiotelegraph carriers,
operating revenues for 1940 as shown in the 1942 volume are
approximately comparable with those shown in later issues.
^ Data for telephones in service are as of end of year (not
averages of end-of-month figures).
Beginning 1942, operating expenses are shown after elimination of major intercompany duplications for the Bell System and

^ Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Data cover all known commercial manufacturers of the
selected chemicals (except as indicated in the note for sodium
silicate) and represent the "primary" manufacture of the v a r i ous chemicals, including quantities produced for further processing in the same plant, for intracompany transfer, and for
sale to other companies. In some cases, data are included for
material produced "in process" as an intermediate to the end
product.
The figures are believed to be essentially complete except, in
some years (primarily the war years), for quantities of various
chemicals produced by plants either owned or operated by the
Federal Government or operated solely for its account. It should
be noted, however, that production of certain chemicals by plants
operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority is included; also included, beginning with 1954, is the production of certain chemical's (such as nitric acid, sodium sulfates, and sulfuric acid) in
Government-owned privately operated plants. (See also notes 3,
11, 12, and 15 for this page.)
Annual data from the 1947 Census of Manufactures differ slightly from the totals of monthly figures for that year. Monthly averages based on the 1947 Census of Manufactures are as follows
(units in thousands of short tons, except oxygen which is in
millions of cubic feet): Ammonia (synthetic, anhydrous), 92.8;
calcium carbide, 50.6; carbon dioxide, 39,8; chlorine gas, 120.3;
hydrochloric acid, 36.9; nitric acid, 99.1; oxygen, 1,157; phosphoric acid, 30.6; sodium carbonate, 377.1; sodium bichromate
and chromate, 7.5; sodium hydroxide, 175.3; sodium silicate,
41.1; sulfuric acid, 898.3. The 1954 data (and 1947 for acetylene and sodium sulfates) as shown here were collected as a
part of the Census of Manufactures for the same year and thus
coincide therewith.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1941-56
(1955-56 for acetylene and sodium sulfates) will be found in
earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top
of p. 197 of this volume. (Notice above-mentioned qualifications affecting year-to-year comparability; also qualifications
in notes 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, and 11 following.) No data were collected in 1940 and none on a monthly basis prior to 1941. Monthly averages for 1939 are based on totals from the Census of Manufactures. Monthly data for 1952-54 for acetylene and 1941-54
for sodium sulfates are available upon request.
2 Excludes amounts produced and used by railroad shops,
shipyards, welding shops, and small establishments using
portable generators. Production is for all purposes; however,
most of it is for chemical synthesis.
3 Output of Government-owned plants, which was large through
1946 for both anhydrous ammonia and nitric acid and for the
most part for military use, is not included (see note 12 regarding plants formerly Government-owned which are included beginning in June or August 1946; also for nitric acid, see note 15
regarding the inclusion beginning 1954 of production in Government-owned privately operated plants).
Excludes quantities of liquid and gas CO2 converted and r e ported as dry ice and also amounts converted from pure COj
(liquid or solid) purchased or received from other plants.
5 Represents total production of gas, including quantities later
liquefied for use, shipment, or storage.
^ Nev/ basis. To convert data in volumes prior to 1959, multiply by .3622.
7Production of sodium carbonate (soda ash) includes quantities used to manufacture finished light and finished dense soda
ash, caustic soda, and refined sodium bicarbonate. The production of electrolytic soda ash and of natural soda ash is excluded
from these statistics.
®Data for sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) include total production of liquid material by the electrolytic and lime-soda processes, including quantities of liquid caustic which are later evaporated to solid caustic.
9 Data represent total production, except prior to October 1953
and beginning with January 1958. Prior to October 1953, small
quantities were excluded for meta-, ortho-, and sesquisilicates
when these chemicals were manufactured directly without going
through the soluble glass stage (such exclusions are estimated
to represent less than 5 percent of the totals as published).
Beginning with January 1958, a l l amounts produced and consumed
in making meta-, ortho-, and sesquisilicates are excluded.
Comprises anhydrous (refined) on 100%Na SO. basis;
Glauber's salt (converted to 100% Na2S04 by mmtiplying figure
as originally reported by 44.1 percent); and commercial crude
salt cake. These data supersede those for sodium sulfates shown
in volumes prior to 1959 which were for Glauber's (as reported
to Bureau of Census by the Bureau of Mines) and for commercial
crude salt cake.
i i Data for sulfuric acid are combined totals for sulfuric acid
produced by the contact and chamber processes, including spent
acid fortified in the contact plants with the simultaneous production of new acid. Production of Government-owned plants, which
was large during the war period, is not included for that period;
for the most part, this production was available only for military
use. However, beginning with 1954, appreciable amounts produced in Government-owned privately operated plants are included. 'The figures for 1946-50 include monthly estimates based
on annual totals of byproduct operations of a few smelters reporting to the Bureau of Mines; the estimated data included vary from
4 percent in 1946 to 2 percent in 1950. Data for 1939 are based
on reports of the Census of Manufactures; they are shown in those
reports on a 50^ Baume'basis but are here converted to 100 percent H2SO4.
12 Data for synthetic anhydrous ammonia and nitric acid include operations of two large plants beginning June 1946 and, for
the former, one additional plant beginning August 1946 which did
not report previously; production at these plants was classified
as military prior to the months indicated and was not included.
i 3 Beginning January 1948, figures are not strictly comparable
with earlier data because of the inclusion of additional plants;
however, the addition of these plants increased the production of
the specified chemical by less than 3.5 percent.
Beginning January 1950, data exclude quantities produced
and consumed in the same plants manufacturing soda ash.
Monthly average for 1950, comparable with earlier data, is 53.3
thousand short tons.
Beginning with 1954 the figures include appreciable amounts
produced in Government-owned privately operated plants; they
are not strictly comparable with earlier figures.

Except during part of the war period, production includes comparatively small amounts produced for beverage purposes; production for beverage pu.rposes was reported separately only
for the fiscal year 1944-45 and totaled 16,253,000 proof gallons
for that year. The amounts withdrawn taxpaid, representing
withdrawals from industrial alcohol bonded warehouses upon
payment of tax, are largely for use in the rectifying of beverage
spirits«
Data through June 1941 and tor July 1947-|une 1950 represent
withdrawals for denaturation. For July 1941-June 1947 and beginning July
1950, the data represent all products ^'used" for
denaturation {i..e,, domestic ethyl alcohol produced by industrial
alcohol plants: spirits produced by registered distilleries and
regarded upon receipt at denaturing plants as alcohol; and
alcohol imported under authority of the Revenue Act of 1942, effective from October 22, 1942) „ Since July 1950 (also for July
1941-June 1947), denaturing plants have been permitted to store
ethyl alcohol for purposes other than denaturation; therefore,
alcohol used for denaturation has been reported in lieu of withdrawals for denaturation„
In addition to the taxpaid withdrawals and withdrawals for
denaturation. quantities are withdrawn tax free for hospital,
scientific, and educatiacal use; for use of United States and subdivisions; for export; 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 and denaturing plants at the end of each month. Stocks
are also affected by losses. Separate data for stocks at bonded
warehouses and at denaturing plants are not available after June
1959, Stocks at denaturing plants were comparatively small
prior to 1942 and were not reporteQ=
A proof gallon is the alcoholic equivalent of a wine gallon (231
cubic inches) at 60^ F. containing 50 percent of ethyl alcohol by
volume. The proof of spirits is twice the percent of the content,
by volume, of ethyl alcohol.
During the war period of 1942-45, spirits produced at registered distilleries ahd stocks of unfinished spirits at industrial
alcohol bonded warehouses were primarily for industrial purposes, For such data by months for 1942--45 (as well as com.bined data on ethyl alcohol and spirits), see p. i l l of the 1947

are approximately complete and comparable with later data; those
for 1930-33 are believed to cover about 80 percent of the industry.
Comparison with data reported in the 1939 Census of Manufactures indicates that figures for synthetic methanol prior to
1941 cover production for sale only; monthly average production
for 1939 for consumption and sale, based on annual figures reported for 1939, is as follows (thousands of gallons): Total,

figures beginning 1951, see note 10 for this page.
Monthly records of fertilizer tax tags are 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. Beginning July 1949, tonnage figures for a few States represent the
shipments of fertilizer for sale or use in these States as r e ported to State agencies. For some States the reports include
cottonseed meal used as fertilizer. Direct distribution of fertilizer by Government agencies (Dept. of Agriculture and TVA) is
not included in these data. Such consumption is a relatively
small proportion of the total. Sales in the above-named States
in recent years have been between 35 and 40 percent of total
consumption in the United States.

reported.)
Prior to 1940, data cover salts of foreign and domestic origin
as reported by one large importer and three domestic producers.
In 1940 the importer, who previously reported monthly, delivered
92,060 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
prior to 1943 and practically the entire industry beginning that
year. Recently, fertilizer manufacturers have absorbed approximately 95 percent of the total potash produced, while the remaining amount is consumed by chemical manufacturers.
The total bulk potassium salts have been reduced to their K2O

(the latter included beginning 1956), including Government-owned
plants. Data for one company that was producing in 1945 were not
included until 1946 and, effective with 1950, data for 11 companies
not previosly reporting were included. However, the omission
of these companies in the earlier years does not appreciably affect comparability of the figures. Stocks are only those of plants
which actually produce the items covered.
Quantities shown in this volume are expressed in equivalent
short tons of 100-percent P2O5 (available phosphoric oxide); in
the 1953 and earlier editions, they are on the basis of 18-percent
P2O5. The statistics pertain only to superphosphate and phosphatic fertilizer materials as such, and include no data for these
products in dry-base or dry-mixed goods. Data cover all grades
of superphosphate (i.e., normal, enriched, concentrated, and wetbase goods). "Other phosphatic fertilizers" include chemically
processed materials such as ammonium phosphates, metaphosphates, calcium phosphates, etc.

.18) for comparability w i t h data for corresponding years in the
1955 and later editions.
Comparable monthly data are not available p r i o r to September
1942, The monthly averages p r i o r to 1939 shown i n e a r l i e r
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS, as well as those for 1939-42
shown herein, are computed from annual totals compiled by the
Uo S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of plant Industry, Soils,
and Agricultural Engineering. The 1940 and 1941 figures are
based on a survey (of all plants producing ordinary superphosphate
and wet-mixed base) made by the National Fertilizer Association
with the cooperation of the Department of Agriculture; data on
production of concentrated superphosphate were collected by the
latter agency in complete surveys of such production for the
years 1929-42, Annual figures for years prior to 1940 and 1942
are based on the surveys of production of concentrated superphosphate and on monthly statistics (collected by the Bureau of
the Census) covering production of bulk superphosphate and
wet-mixed goods by 52 manufacturers through August 1942 and
total production of all grades of superphosphates by all plants
for later months of 1942, The monthly series through August
1942 did not cover all manufacturers and also did not include
production by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Comparison of
monthly figures for 1940 and 1941 with data collected in the
surveys of all plants for those years indicated that the Census series through August 1942 represented, approximately, the production of ordinary superphosphate and wet-mixed base. These
data, therefore, were combined with figures for concentrated
superphosphate to obtain totals for all superphosphates.

6 Source: U, S= Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Data from 1951 forward represent estimates of total factory shipments of finished paint, varnish, and lacquer. However,
the estimates beginning with January 1958 are not comparable
with earlier estimates because of (1) the use of data from a new
panel of respondents based on information reported in the 1954
Census of Manufactures and from other sources, yielding higher
and more accurate estimates than those from the previous sample; and (2) the fact that the definitions of "trade products" and
"industrial finishes" now employed relate to specific products
and not, as formerly, to customer classification (trade and industrial), For example, "trade products," as currently defined,
are stock-type commodities generally distributed through whole sale-retail channels, whereas the term "Industrial finishes" relates to organic products specifically formulated to meet the
conditions of application and use of the article to which applied.
The estimated total factory sales from 1952 through 1957 are
based on data from a sample of approximately 250 companies
comprising about 375 establishments. The estimated totals for
1951 were derived from the 1952 estimates and changes in shipments for those companies for v/hich both 1951 and 1952 information was available. Because of the method of deriving the
1951 estimates, definite information concerning their reliability is not available.

they exclude fillers, plasticizers, extenders, solvents, and liquids.
Data for production of protective coatings (as such) are excluded from the pertinent component items (except as noted for
vinyl and polyester resins and the miscellaneous group). Such
coatings are produced to a greater extent by paint manufacturers
than by the plastics industry; therefore, they are omitted , for the
most part, from the series shown here.
Beginning January 1949, data represent production (the total of
quantities produced for consumption in the same plant, for transfer to other plants of the same company, and for sale). The
data (except for "alkyd resins") are essentially comparable with
the earlier figures for shipments and consumption in producing
plants, except for inventory changes (which tend to balance out
over a short period) and the inclusion of some companies not
previously covered „ Data for the entire period shown represent
virtually complete coverage of the industry. Although there have
been some changes in reporting companies and in components of

1 Source: Federal Power Commission. Total production of
electric energy is the sum of energy produced in the United
States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) by electric utilities and
other organizations producing electric energy for public use and
by industrial establishments.
Data for "electric utilities" are according to reports obtained
from all electric-supply systems producing for public use. The
"electric utilities" series covers plants of both the privately and
municipally owned electric utilities, as well as other publicly
owned producers. This latter group is composed of Federal
projects, cooperatives, power districts, and State projects. Coverage of the electric utilities is substantially 100 percent, comprising at the end of 1959 a total of 3,457 generating plants operated by 1,209 utilities.
The series for "industrial establishments" represents estimated total production by manufacturing (including Government
manufacturing) and extractive industries and stationary plants
operated for motive power by electric railways and railroads.
The figures do not include production where plant capacities are
less than 100 kilowatts, where activities are presumably on a
temporary basis, and where data are not currently available because of the size or character of the business. The reported
monthly data for industrial establishments (as defined above)
are extended to represent 100-percent coverage on the basis of
reports currently received from approximately 800 generating
plants, which account for over 90 percent of the total industrial
production of electric energy in the United States. Annual totals
on which the monthly averages (except for 1960) are based were
obtained by complete canvas. Data for industrial establishments
are available annually beginning 1939 and monthly beginning 1945.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1941-56
for production of electric power by electric utilities (revised
basis) „ as well as monthly data for 1945-56 for total production by industrial establishments,will be found in earlier editions
of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this
volume. It should be noted that data for electric power production on the revised basis, shown beginning with the 1947 SUPPLEM E N T , differ from data in former issues of the SUPPLEMENT
chiefly because of the transfer of energy produced by electric
railways and railroads from the "other producers" category
(old basis) to industrial establishments (present series) and the
inclusion in the series for industrial establishments of data not
previously covered. Monthly figures for 1920-40 for privately
and publicly owned utilities are available in the 1942 SUPPLEM E N T and on p. 18 of the December 1940 SURVEY. Revised
annual totals or monthly averages beginning 1920 and monthly
figures for 1936-40 for total production by utilities and production by source are shown on p. 32 of the February 1947 SURVEY;
revised figures for the indicated periods may be obtained for
"other producers" by subtracting from the revised totals in that
issue data for privately owned and municipally owned utilities r e ferred to above.
2 Source: Edison Electric Institute. Data are estimated totals
(for the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii) for the entire electric light and power industry contributing to the public
supply of electricity. The figures comprise operations of all
private, municipal, cooperative, governmental, and industrial enterprises engaged in the production or distribution of electricity
for the use of the public. The estimated totals are based on r e ports from enterprises representing in recent!years approximately 90 percent of the industry. For all years shown here, the
"rural" classification 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 pumping or irrigation load in the West is on
distinct or special rural rates. In the absence of other information, all sales by REA cooperatives are included in residential
service. It should be noted that the "rural" classification bears
no relationship whatsoever to farm electrification. Many farms

and residents of s m a l l hamlets a r e served on the regular r e s i dential rate schedules; data f o r such customers are included in
the " r e s i d e n t i a l o r domestic" classification.
For " c o m m e r c i a l and industrial" service, the breakdown distinguishing between large and small customers is not entirely
reliable. The unreliability is caused by the various changes in
the systems of account and service classifications. The dividing point between small and large light and power is 50 kilowatts
of demand or as near to it as rate classifications will permit.
Comparable monthly averages for 1937 and 1938 and monthly
data for 1938-56 will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.

with earlier data since they reflect the inclusion of certain sales
in the large light and power classification instead of the small,
as formerly. Also, see 3d paragraph of note 2 for this page.

For statistical purposes the types of gas are defined as follows: "Natural gas"—any gas of natural origin as produced from

coal, coke, or oil, or by the reforming of natural or liquefied
petroleum gases (or any mixtures thereof) and including any
natural or liquefied petroleum gas if used for "enriching";
"mixed gas"—mixtures of manufactured gas with natural or
liquefied petroleum gas, except where the natural or liquefied
petroleum gas is used only for enriching or reforming. "Liquefied petroleum gas" is defined as any hydrocarbon mixture in
either the liquid or gaseous state, the chief components of which
consist of propane, butane, propylene, iso-butane, butylene, or
mixtures thereof in any ratio or with air (for AGA statistics,
only the aforementioned gases distributed through utility mains
are included). Prior to 1945, figures for liquefied petroleum
gas are included with those for manufactured gas; separate
data for this type of gas have been compiled beginning 1945 (on
annual basis only, 1960 not yet available), but they are not included with figures shown here. (Data for total customers,
sales, and revenues for liquefied petroleum gas for 1957 through
1959, respectively, are as follows: Customers, in thousands,
annual average—184; 175; 150; sales, in millions of therms—
65,0; 65.6; 60.4; revenues from sales, in thousands of dollars—
16,121; 16,146; 14,423. Comparable data for 1945-56 appear in
footnote 2 for p. 129 of the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS.
A therm is a unit of heat content representing 100,000 B. t. u.
(British thermal units) and is roughly equivalent to 95 cubic
feet of natural gas or to 185 cubic feet of manufactured gas.
The number of customers excludes customers purchasing gas
for resale. Likewise', the sales and revenue figures exclude
data for gas resold.
The various classes of service are based on the primary purpose for which the gas is used or the type of customer to which
a stated rate shall apply. The common classes of service as
applied to ultimate consumers and as recommended by the AGA
for use by utilities, although not uniformly accepted, are defined
below.
"Residential" applies to service supplied for residential purposes under individual contracts in a single-family dwelling or
building, or in an individual flat or apartment in a multiple-family dwelling or building or portion thereof occupied as the home,
residence, or sleeping place of one or more persons.
"Industrial" applies to service supplied for a process which
creates a product or changes raw or unfinished materials into
another form or product, or which involves the extraction of a
raw material from the earth.
^ "Commercial" relates to service to customers engaged in selling, warehousing, or distributing a commodity, in some business

activity or in a profession, or in some other form of economic
or social activity (offices, stores., clubs, hotels, etc.), and to
service that does not come directly in one of the other classifications.
"Other" service (not shown separately in this volume) applies
to municipalities or other governmental agencies, sales for
street lighting, and interdepartmenta 1 sales if made under a definite rate schedule.
Sales to consumers are compiled on both a monthly and quarterly basis, whereas data for other items are compiled quarterly
only. The reported monthly or quarterly data are expanded by
the Association to represent 100 percent of the gas utility industry; this is done on the basis of annual surveys covering almost
the entire industry, supplemented by data from secondary
sources. Monthly and quarterly figures through 1959 have been
adjusted to final annual totals for the pertinent years; 1960 data
are preliminary. The reported 1960 monthly figures on total
sales are adjusted to quarterly sales data (based on a larger
sample) by applying to the quarterly totals the percentage distribution of the reported monthly figures.
Quarterly data for 1949 and 1951-56 for customers and monthly or quarterly data for 1949-56 for sales and revenues appear
in the 1959, 1957, 1955, and 1953 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS. (The figure for total revenue for natural gas for the 4th
quarter of 1949 should read $293,085,000.) Revised data on
customers for 1950 are available upon request. Monthly or quarterly data for 1945-48 (compiled on type-of-gas basis and comparable with figures shown in later volumes) are shown in the
1951 and 1949 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS, (Notice that
the sales figures in the 1951 and earlier issues are expressed in
cubic feet instead of therms; see 3d paragraph of this note for
approximate number of cubic feet: per therm.)

Service. The data represent complete coverage of operations of
registered distilleries and fruit distilleries, exclusive of production for industrial purposes from January 1942 through September 1945.
In addition to whisky which is shown separately, the totals
for distilled spirits include rum, gin, brandy, vodka, and other
distilled spirits (comprising spirits-fruit produced at fruit
distilleries, and spirits-grain, spirits-cane, etc., produced at
registered distilleries). Normally, registered and fruit distilleries are authorized to produce only beverage spirits. Because of the greatly increased demand for industrial alcohol
during the war, Congress, by the acts of January 24 and March
27, 1942, made it legal for beverage distillers to engage in production of high-proof spirits for industrial purposes. Subsequently, production of spirits (other than brandy and rum) for
beverage purposes was prohibited after October 8, 1942, until
the end of the war period, except under special authorization
during so-called liquor holiday months (August 1944, January
1945, and July 1945). Production figures for January 1942-September 1945 include only amounts of high-proof spirits produced for beverage purposes. Small amounts for industrial
purposes are included after September 1945, since such production was not reported separately. (Total production of highproof spirits by registered distilleries for 1942-45 is shown on
p. I l l of the 1947 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT and the
amounts for beverage purposes included in the totals and duplicated here are given separately in note 5 for that page.) Production figures are net-that is, gross production (original production plus production by redistillation) minus the quantity of
distilled spirits used in redistillation.
Stocks are domestic stocks in internal revenue bonded warehouses, based on the original entry gage. Losses are not determined until withdrawal and are therefore not included except
for distilled spirits in cases for which losses have already been
determined. Beginning July 1959, data include stocks in denaturing facilities as well as in other bonded storage.
Withdrawals represent taxable withdrawals (exclusive of
withdrawals of alcohol) from registered and fruit distilleries
and internal revenue bonded warehouses. Also published in the
reports of the Internal Revenue Service, but not included here,
are data for tax-free withdrawals of distilled spirits for the
following purposes: Addition to wine; denaturation; for export;
transfers to Customs manufacturing bonded warehouses; for
vessels and aircraft; for use of the United States; and,beginning
July 1953, transfers to Foreign Trade Zones.
For statistics relating to ethyl alcohol produced at industrial
alcohol plants, see p. 122 of this volume. The amounts of ethyl
alcohol withdrawn tax-paid shown on that page are largely for
beverage purposes.
A tax gallon for spirits of 100 proof or over is equivalent to
the proof gallon (see note 5 following for definition of a standard proof gallon). For spirits of less than 100 proof the tax
gallon is equivalent to the wine gallon.

represent only exports of dry skim milk for human consumption.
Earlier data also are believed to represent only that for human
consumption, although the data are reported as "dry skim milk"
in export statistics and are not specifically stated to exclude exports of dry skim milk for animal feed, if any. Shipments under the
Army Civilian Supply Program are included beginning 1947; data
were not reported prior thereto. In 1947, 10,164,000 pounds of
dry whole milk and 134,950,000 pounds of nonfat dry milk were
exported under this program. For general explanation of foreign

3 Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Data through 1938 (shown in earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS) represent wheat-flour production and the actual
grindings of wheat as reported by approximately 1,100 commercial mills, including those with a daily 24-hour capacity of 400
sacks or less (the reporting mills accounted for about 95 percent
of total v/heat-flour production in 1929-38). Data beginning 1939
represent complete coverage and, through 1946, are revised estimates based on the assumption that small mills not covered by
the monthly survey operated at a lower rate of capacity than r e porting mills. The 1947-50 figures are as reported by all commercial mills, whereas figures beginning with 1951 are estimated
totals based on reports from commercial mills with a 24-hour
capacity of 400 sacks and over. The reported data from these
larger mills account for about 97 percent of the estimated totals.
The series on 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 (based on a 6-day
week through 1948 and a 5-day week thereafter). 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.
All data relate to regular-grind flour only. In addition, from
1943 through February 1946, some mills produced granular flour,
which was flour coarsely ground for the production of alcohol to
be used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber. Monthly averages
of data relating to granular flour for 1943-45 are as follows:
Grindings of wheat (thousands of bushels) --1943, 3,301; 1944,

Data are based on reports from merchant mills reporting wheatflour production and, beginning 1939, represent complete coverage
(see note 3 above). Prior to 1939, the number of mills reporting
stocks (around 900 to 1000) was somewhat smaller than the number reporting wheat-flour production. However, some mills r e ported that no stocks were held and others that did not report on
stocks also may have held no stocks. Data cover total stocks held
by reporting mills at the end of each quarter.

Data are based on calendar months and represent the number of
animals slaughtered under Federal inspection. Data for Hawaii
and the Virgin Islands are included through 1946, but excluded
thereafter.
In 1960, slaughter under Federal inspection accounted for approximately 61 percent of all calves slaughtered, 75 percent of
the cattle, 86 percent of the sheep and lambs, and 78 percent of
the hogs. While the proportions of total slaughter vary from year
to year, the differences generally are not large. However, in
1946 the proportion was substantially lower for cattle (58 p e r cent), for calves and hogs in 1945 and 1946 (51 and 48 percent
and 57 and 58 percent, respectively), and the proportion for sheep
and lambs increased from around 80 percent in 1940 to 89 p e r cent in 1947 and 1952.

them; stocks held in space owned or leased and operated by the
armed services are not included. Through 1949, stocks were
reported as of the first of each month; they are included here as
data for the end of the prceding month.
"Total meat stocks" comprise the following items: Beef and
veal, lamb and mutton, and pork (see data separately shown);
canned meats and canned meat products (beginning June 1944;
58 million pounds in that month); edible offal (through December
1956 only); and sausage and sausage-room products (June 1944December 1956 only). At the end of December 1956, stocks of
edible offal totaled 59 million pounds; sausage and sausage-room
products, 14 million pounds.
The content of various other items is as follows: "Beef and
veal" -beef frozen, in cure, cured and smoked, and, beginning
June 1944, frozen veal which amounted to 8,517,000 pounds at
end of that month (veal was not reported until June 1944, although
prior to that month some may have been held as beef or included
in data formerly reported as "trimmings and edible offal");
"lamb and mutton" -frozen; "pork"-frozen, dry salt and other, in
cure and cured. All stocks of beef, pork, and mutton trimmings,
formerly included under "miscellaneous meats," have been distributed to the individual meat items beginning June 1944; see

livestock slaughtered under Federal inspection, exclusive of
meats from condemned animals. Edible offal is not included.
(Note that "total meat" production includes leaf lard; earlier
volumes erroneously labeled the data as excluding leaf lard.)
Total production is obtained by multiplying the average dressed
weight (obtained from concerns accounting for the major portion
of the total federally inspected slaughter) by the total federally
inspected slaughter. In 1960, production of federally inspected
meats, excluding lard, accounted for 78 percent of the total production (commercial and farm) of meats, excluding lard. For
the proportion of animals slaughtered under Federal inspection
to the total slaughter, see note 1 for p. 138.
"Pork production excluding lard" comprises all of the dressed
hog carcass, but excludes head bones and all carcass fat rendered into lard. Lard data beginning 1937 represent the actual
production of rendered lard and rendered pork fat in federally
inspected plants as reported by the Meat Inspection Branch (see
p, 140 for figures). Prior to 1937, lard production was estimated
by applying an average yield per hog to the number of hogs
passed for food. Production from federally inspected slaughter
accounted for 53-68 percent of the total production of lard, as
estimated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, for 1930-41,

are based on returns from general crop correspondents (about
30,000 in recent years) and approximately 15,000 commercial egg
producers 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.
Annual estimates of layers on January 1 of each year are based
on a survey covering recently about 160,000 to 170,000 flocks, in
addition to the returns froEQ the regular monthly crop correspondents commercial egg producers. 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. The estimates
are also adjusted every 5 years to data reported in the Census of
Agriculture; they have now been adjusted to data from the Census
of 1959.

^Source: U. S, Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census . Data on green coffee inventories and roastings represent
industry totals. Prior to 1955, data were based on a complete
canvas of all known roasters, importers, and other holders of
green coffee; since 1955, these data are based on a probability
sample of firms. Th e industry totals based on this sample may
not agree exactly with the results of a complete census; however,
the chances are two out of three that the estimates for invento ries and roastings would differ from results of a complete enumeration by less than 2 percent.
Green coffee inventories are limited to stocks which have
cleared customs and are in the United States. However, they include any goods in the United States on consignment from foreign
sources. Roastings for sale to the military services, included
since 1957, represent about 2 percent of the total amount roasted.
The inventory figures prior to 1957 exclude stocks held by the
military services (effective July 1956, the military services discontinued handling green coffee).
The figures shown on the monthly -average lines are quarterly
averages. Quarterly data for 1955-56 are published in the 1959
edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Quarterly data for 1949-51 and
for 1954 (roastings only) are available upon request.

Data for imports of coffee represent green (or raw) coffee.
The figures are shown in the original reports in pounds and are
converted to bags of 132.276 pounds. Data beginning 1934 relate
to imports for consumption; previously, to genral imports.
Exports of sugar beginning 1943 cover both raw and refined
(including cane, beet, maple, brown, granulated, powdered,
cubes, etc., but not including corn, grape, or flavoring sugar);
prior thereto, the amounts represent refined sugar only. Shipments under the Army Civilian Supply Program are included beginning 1947 (43,876 short tons in that year); such shipments
are not available prior thereto. The figures, originally reported
in pounds, have been converted to short tons. Data in the 1942

comprise sales of confectionery and competitive chocolate prod ducts by manufacturer-wholesalers, manufacturer -retailers
(beginning 1956, reported at f.o.b. factory level rather than at
retail level), and chocolate manufacturers making consumertype confectionery items such as chocolate bars, etc. The figures.do not include sales of chocolate coatings or cocoa by the
latter group of manufacturers and also do not include sales of
retail confectioners with a single business location. The figures
represent estimates of industry totals based on reported data,
except those for 1953 and 1957 which are from complete canvasses of the confectionery manufacturing establishments. In the
1957 survey, data for both 1956 and 1957 were collected.
The data through 1946 are monthly averages based on annual
estimates of manufacturers' sales of confectionery as compiled
by the Office of Domestic Commerce. These estimates were developed by a method differing from that used by the Bureau of the
Census for data beginning with 1947 and, therefore, are not
strictly comparable.
For 1947, the annual total used to derive the monthly average
is that from the 1947 Census of Manufactures. Monthly estimates for 1947 were first calculated from the January 1947 dollar
sales of a group of companies by applying month-to-month percentage changes indicated by reporting companies. These estimates were then raised to the level indicated by the 1947 Census total. For 1948-55, the estimated industry totals were derived from the sales reported by approximately 400 manufacturing companies, which in 1953 accounted for about 85 percent of
the total dollar value of confectionery sales.
The figures beginning January 1956 are not comparable with
those through 1955. As noted above, the values in 1956 and
thereafter as reported by the manufacturer -retailer group are
at f.o.b. factory level instead of the retail level which was used
278
1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SUR^/EY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
through 1955. Sales of the aforementioned group valued at the
retail level accounted in 1956 for 11.6 percent of total sales of
confectionery manufacturers, compared with 8.1 percent when
valued at f.o.b. factory level.

^Source: U. S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural M a r keting Service. Data are compiled from reports by cane-sugar
refiners, beet-sugar processors, importers of direct consumption sugar, and mainland sugarcane processors. The figures
cover both raw and refined sugar in terms of raw sugar (96^
equivalent). One ton of raw sugar 96® test is assumed to be
equivalent to 0.9346 ton of refined.
Production represents production of domestic cane and domes tic beet sugar. Deliveries represent the distribution of sugar by
primary distributors. Deliveries for domestic consumption include deliveries for U. S. military forces at home and abroad;
those for export include livestock feed, etc. (beginning June 1954)
and deliveries for lend-lease and for liberated areas and military
relief during periods when such shipments were made.
Data on entries from offshore areas are secured from reports
from the importers and represent the amounts charged against
quotas, except for the periods September 11 to December 31,
1939, and April 13, 1942, to December 31, 1947, when the quotas
were suspended. The data include shipments from Puerto Rico,
Hawaii, Virgin Islands, Cuba (quotas restricted beginning July
1960) and other foreign countries, and, through March 1942 and
beginning 1948, from the Philippine Islands. Invert molasses,
produced and shipped in lieu of raw sugar at the request of the
U. S. Government, is excluded as follows (annual totals, in terms
of sugar equivalent, short tons): 1942, 316,466; 1943, 260,977;
1944, 700,914. Data for 1942-47 for the total and Cuba include
small amounts received for refining and reshipped to other countries under international allocations.
The data on entries from offshore areas differ from the i m ports of raw and refined sugar for consumption (on p. 143) compiled by the Bureau of the Census, largely in that the latter are as
reported (without conversion to equivalent raw sugar of uniform
polarization) and since 1935 do not include receipts from Virgin
Islands.
Stocks include refiners' raw and refined stocks, stocks of beet
processors and of importers of direct-consumption sugar, stocks
of mainland sugarcane processors beginning January 1939, and
importers' raw stocks for January 1940 to December 1952, inclusive.
Monthly averages for 1935-38 and monthly data for 1941-56

for January 1949 should read 1,347,617 tons.
7 Data through 1941 are actual exports (as reported by U. S.
Department of Commerce) converted to raw value. Livestock
feed is included beginning June 1954.
8 Figures for 1935-39 and beginning 1953 exclude importers'
raw stocks; those prior to 1939 also exclude stocks of mainland
sugarcane processors. Monthly averages for 1939 and 1940 excluding stocks of mainland sugarcane processors and importers'
raw stocks, comparable with averages for 1935-38 (in earlier
volumes), are as follows (short tons): 1939, 1,874,532; 1940,
1,974,696. The 1940 average comparable with averages for 1939
(excluding importers' raw stocks but including stocks of mainland sugarcane processors) is 2,033,633 short tons. The 1952
average comparable with data from 1953 forward is 1,209,719

The data for sugar, originally reported in pounds, have been
converted to short tons; figures in the 1940 and 1942 Issues of
the SUPPLEMENT are in long tons and should be converted to
short tons for comparison with figures shown beginning with the

sugar is sugar testing above 99^.
Data for tea are imports for consumption beginning 1933; prior
thereto, general imports.

obtained around the 15th of each month from a sample of chain
and independent retail food dealers in New York City and vicinity
(New York City only through 1952; New York City and Newark,
N. J., for January-June 1953; New York City and northeastern
New Jersey beginning July 1953).
Prices shown in the 1953 and later editions of BUSINESS STA TISTICS are per 5 pounds; in earlier volumes they are for 1
pound. Original quotations were on 1 -pound bags prior to November 1937 and on 10-pound bags from November 1937 through
1949; since 1950, the original quotations have been for 5 pounds.
The change in poundage on which original quotations are based
affects the comparability of the series to some extent (e.g., the
October 1937 price for 5 pounds based on 10-pound bags was
$ 0.275 and based on 1-pound bags, $ 0.285)„ Comparability is
also affected somewhat by change in January 1946 in the sample
and procedures (see note 7 for this page).

of raw materials used in producing vegetable oils, and to factory
production, factory consumption in end products, and factory and
warehouse stocks of animal, fish, and vegetable fats and oils.
Establishments canvassed in order to secure information on production, consumption, and stocks are as follows: (1) Vegetable
oil mills, which produce crude vegetable oils, cake and meal,
and byproducts; (2) plants producing refined vegetable oils
(alkali or caustic washed oils), shortening, margarine, salad
or cooking oils, and specially formulated edible oils; (3) plants
using fats and oils in such industrial products as soap, paint,
varnish, linoleum, oilcloth, lubricants, animal feeds, resins,
plastics, or other products containing substantial amounts of
fats and oils; (4) plants using fats or oils as agents in the production of other products such as tin plate, textiles, leather,
etc.; (5) plants which render animal fats into lard, edible,
tallow, and inedible tallow and grease, either as their chief
operation or as an adjunct to meat packing; (6) warehouses
storing fats and oils, including public warehouses.
The reported factory production represents the total output
in the United States of the specified fats and oils, and, except
as otherwise stated, is in the crude state. However, in the case
of some animal fats such as lard (not shown in this section;
see p. 140), tallow, and grease, factory production does not
represent total production because considerable quantities of
these products are produced on farms and by local butchers,
wholesale trade establishments, and small renderers not included
in the establishments canvassed.
The data for consumption include only the consumption in factories and do not, therefore, represent total consumption in all
instances. Considerable quantities of some fats and oils are
consumed outside of factories, such as in homes, restaurants,
hotels, and bakeries, and by packagers, painters, building contractors, and machine shops. Through 1958 consumption data
shown herein relate to primary products only; beginning January
1959, under new reporting procedures, they are in terms of basic
oils moving into specified end products and include undisclosed
amounts of further processed oils.
Stocks, except for coconut and marine mammal oils, include
quantities held by and in transit to producers, factory consumers,
and public storages, regardless of ownership, including quantities
held for the Government. Stocks in the possession of household
consumers and stocks held in private storage by retailers, wholesalers, and jobbers are not included. In some instances, stocks
may include some imports not withdrawn from bonded warehouses.
Raw materials for vegetable oils reported as stocks are confined
to the quantities held in crushing mills and m i l l warehouses.
Beginning January 1959, stocks of oils are in terms of basic oils
(crude and once-refined) and end products only. If a further
processed oil has not been converted into a specified end product,
it is included among the stocks of the oil from which it originated.
For security reasons, stocks data for June, July, and August
1950 for five strategic oils (castor oil No. 1, castor oil No. 3,
crude palm oil, crude coconut oil, and marine mammal oil) were
not published. Beginning with September 1950, stocks of these
oils (coconut and marine mammal oil only shown herein) have
been published on a commercial stocks basis, i.e., excluding
amounts for stockpiles of strategic oils. Beginning April 1960,
coconut oil stocks include amounts no longer required for the
strategic stockpile.
Beginning July 1949, producers and consumers of relatively
small quantities of fats and oils are required to file annual reports only. The omission of these small companies does not
affect the monthly totals by more than 1 percent in most cases;
where significant differences have occurred the monthly figures
have been adjusted accordingly. The number of small companies

reporting on an annual basis has increased from 1,000 in 1949 to
approximately 2,000 in 1960.
Figures appearing in this volume and in the monthly magazine
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS are for selected individual
products; data for additional products are included in the current
monthly and annual reports of Bureau of the Census. Data have
been collected monthly since July 1942; prior thereto, they were
on a quarterly basis. Annual figures shown beginning with the
1947 edition of the STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT are monthly
averages, unless otherwise indicated in the notes on the figures;
annual figures in earlier volumes are quarterly averages.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly or quarterly data
for 1932-56 (except for tallow and grease for 1954-56, and soybeans and soybean oil for 1932-37) will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of
this volume. However, because of changes in reporting procedures, the consumption data shown for periods prior to December
1958 for some oils are not comparable with those for later periods.
2 Edible tallow production and stocks for all years include r e fined grades; the consumption figures exclude quantities used in
refining except in 1949-54, when such quantities are included.
3 Beginning January 1949, data include 45 plants producing
inedible tallow and 23 plants producing greases which did not
previously report. January 1949 operations at these plants are
as follows (thousands of pounds): Tallow—production, 3,290;
stocks, 3,804; greases-production, 953; stocks, 1,949. Prior
to 1949, data include certain quantities of refined tallow (in
collection of the data, no distinction was made between "rendered"
and "refined"). Beginning January 1958, data exclude quantities
used in refining but include refined quantities (formerly excluded).
As indicated by information obtained in the 1958 Census of
Manufactures, production data for 1958 and 1959 are understated
to an undetermined extent; the data for those years are subject
to revision when more complete information becomes available.
^ See also note 1 for this page. The fish oil series, except as
stated below, include the following products: Cod and cod-liver
oil; other liver oil; menhaden, sardine (pilchard), herring, and
miscellaneous fish oils (except liver); and marine mammal oil.
For the period 1952-56 there was no reported production of marine mammal oil and, since 1955, consumption data for cod and
cod-liver oils and other liver oils have been unavailable. Also
since 1955, the stock figures for cod and cod-liver oils and other
liver oils represent quantities held by producing firms only; and
the figures for all fish-oil series may include some refined oils
(some refined oils also included prior to 1949).
The 1939-45 averages for production, as shown herein and in
the 1959 volume, are monthly averages; quarterly averages were
shown in the 1957 and earlier volumes.

Vegetable oil exports include cottonseed, linseed, com, coconut, peanut, and soybean oils, cocoa butter, vegetable soap stock,
cooking fats other than lard, and all edible and inedible vegetable
oils and fats; also, for some periods, a quantity of cooking fats
containing some animal cooking fats which are not reported separately. The series includes, except as noted, all vegetable oils,
fats, and compounds thereof, which have substantially related or
competitive uses, though not all the items included are strictly
oils. Shipments under the Army Civilian Supply Program are included beginning 1947. In that year such shipments amounted to
187,000 pounds; corresponding data for subsequent years are not
available.
Beginning January 1948, data include margarine (of animal or
vegetable origin), exports of which amounted to 3,408,000 pounds
in that year. Beginning January 1952, data also include mayonnaise, salad dressings, and related products (amounting to

1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SUR^/EY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
2 Source: U. S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural M a r keting Service. Data represent stocks of leaf tobacco in the
United States and Puerto Rico (on a farm-sales-^eight basis)
reported as owned by all leaf tobacco dealers, manufacturers,
quasi-manufacturers, growers* cooperative associations, warehousemen, brokers, holders, and owners (except the original
growers of tobacco, and manufacturers who according to the r e turns of the Director of Internal Revenue Service manufactured
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). A l l Government loan stocks are included as dealer holdings. Growers are not required to report
their stocks under the law. Data are on an ownership basis, i.e.,
they include stocks actually owned by those enumerated above.
Data by type of tobacco are available from reports of the Tobacco
Division, Agricultural Marketing Service, U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
A l l 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; 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 farm-sales weight of domestic types, they can be combined
directly with the data for domestic types on a farm-sales-weight
basis. Data have been revised for January 1936-April 1940 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 e r r o r
occurred over a longer period of years but no definite records
are available on which to base revisions earlier than 1936. Data
are reported as of the first of April, July, October, and January,
and have been moved back to the last day of the preceding month
for presentation in the SURVEY.
Quarterly averages prior to 1939 and quarterly data for 1938-56
(except for minor revisions for December 1948-December 1952
and December 1955-December 1956 which are available upon r e quest) w i l l be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS
as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. Quarterly data prior
to 1938 are correct as shown in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT and on
p. 15 of the March 1940 SURVEY, except for 1936 and 1937 which
have been revised to exclude 5,550,000 pounds for each quarter
(see preceding paragraph).

for all years are estimated industry totals based on monthly r e ports from regional associations. Production and shipments data
are adjusted to conform with annual production figures published
by the Bureau of the Census for all years shown here through
1958 except for 1948-51 and 1955-56. The Census Bureau made
no annual survey in 1948; for the years 1949-51 and 1955-56, although data for the eastern regions are adjusted to Census figures, data for some of the v/estern regions and for total softwood
and total lumber production are not so adjusted. Figures for
1959 and 1960 are in agreement with Census preliminary estimates, and are subject to revision when final data become available.
Coverage of m i l l reports varies widely from region to region
and, for the country as a whole, has declined from around 75
percent of estimated total lumber production in 1935 to an average
of 37 percent in recent years; coverage of reports on stocks is
less inclusive than for production and shipments.
Production figures prior to 1941 exclude mills cutting 50 M
feet or less. (In the year 1941, the estimated production of such
mills totaled 136,878 M board feet.) Shipments include both domestic and foreign shipments. Gross stocks (i.e., sold and unsold) represent those at mills and, for the Southern pine region,
also those at concentration yards.
There is considerable undercoverage in the Census data for
lumber production prior to 1942 which is reflected in the NLMA
data adjusted to Census totals. Estimates'prepared by the U. S.
Forest Service are believed to approximate more nearly the total lumber production and to give a better picture of trends. The
Forest Service estimates are given in the explanatory note in the
1955 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see note 2 for p. 150).
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1949,
1951-53, and 1955-56 will be found in the 1959, 1957, 1955, and
1953 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (minor revisions of
1950 monthly data are available upon request); revised monthly
data for 1954 appear on p. 24 of the November 1957 SURVEY.
Most of the monthly data in the 1951 and earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS have been revised in varying degrees. These
revised monthly (or quarterly) data for 1929-48 are published in
the August 1950 Statistical Supplement issue of the Lumber In
dustry Report (prepared by U. S. Department of Commerce, Office of Industry and Commerce).

Exports of sawmill products include all types of hardwood and
softwood lumber (rough-sawed, dressed, and worked or patterned) and flooring; hardwood small-dimension stock; railroad
cross ties (beginning 1939); and mine ties in recent years. The
figures through 1947 also include exports of box shooks; such exports averaged 1,224,000 board feet monthly in 1948. The exclusion of box shooks beginning 1948 reflects adjustment to the
1949 revision of the export; schedule. Data for laths and shingles
are excluded for all years,. Beginning 1947, figures include shipments under the Army Civilian Supply Program (not previously
available); in that year such shipments amounted to 580,000 board
feet.
Imports of sawmill products are imports for consumption
(prior to 1934, general imports). The data include softwood and
hardwood sawed lumber and timber (boards, planks, deals,
flooring, siding, and other forms, rough, planed or dressed, or
otherwise processed but not further manufactured than planed
and tongued and grooved), as well as sawed railroad ties, dowels,
and through 1953, box shooks and packing boxes (thereafter
quantity data not reported for shooks and boxes).

are estimates representing total softwood operations for the
Douglas fir region and are based on data compiled by the West
Coast Lumbermen's Association from monthly reports received
from mills covering, in recent years, approximately 63 percent
of total output. Coverage of reports for stocks and unfilled
orders is less inclusive than for production and shipments. A l though Douglas fir predominates, output of the region also includes West Coast hemlock. Western red cedar, and Sitka spruce.
For all years through 1958, with exceptions noted below, production and shipments data were adjusted to trends indicated by
annual production figures reported by the Bureau of the Census.
No such adjustments were made in 1948, 1949, and 1950. In
1948 the Census Bureau made no production survey, while for
1949 and 1950 the Association estimated total industry operations on the basis of mill reports to the regional association.
Beginning January 1954, the region (designated as West Coast
woods in the SUPPLEMENTS prior to the 1951 edition) comprises
the portions of the States of Washington and Oregon west of the
Cascades including the pine production of Jackson and Josephine
counties of Oregon which, for earlier years, is included in data
for the Western Pine regioa. This modification does not seriously affect comparability of the data.
Shipments include botn domestic and export shipments. Data
for stocks apply tc g c s l i l l stocks; changes from month to
month are compute d tr im iifferences between production and

in that year the Census Bureau made no annual survey. Figures
for 1959 and 1960 are subject to revision when data from the
Census annual survey become available.
Undercoverage is known to affect Census data for lumber production prior to 1942 but the extent to which Southern yellow pine
output was understated is not clear (see paragraph 4 of note 1 for
p, 151). Because the Association's data are adjusted to Census
totals, the data for years prior to 1942 are understated to an unknown degree.
Shipments include domestic and export shipments. Stock figures are estimated gross stocks at mills and concentration
yards; monthly stock changes are computed from the difference
between total production and shipments. Changes in unfilled
orders are similarly computed from differences between total
orders and shipments.

^ Sources: U . S . Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census (Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April
1941). The 1939-57 figures for exports and imports of "steel
mill" products are based on data compiled by the American Iron
and Steel Institute from Census reports, but incorporate adjustments to reflect uniform coverage of products insofar as possible. Although over the period for which data are shown here
there have been some variations in product coverage, the differences, in general, do not seriously affect comparability of
the totals (see exceptions below).
The totals for exports and imports of iron and steel products
comprise, in general, pig iron, iron and steel scrap, iron products and steel m i l l products. For total exports, monthly averages beginning 1952 and monthly data beginning January 1957
include a few items classified in the export schedule as "metal
manufactures" but considered by the industry as steel mill products. Exports of these commodities in the period 1952-58 averaged 41,000 tons per year. Exports of steel m i l l products include various iron products as well as the steel m i l l products
so classified, except that certain railway items are omitted and
the selected "metal manufactures" mentioned above (as included
in total exports) are included in steel m i l l products. Exports of
secondary tinplate (excluded through 1958) are included beginning January 1959; such exports totaled 187,000 tons in 1959.
In the 1952 edition of the export schedule, certain items (pipe
fittings, welding rods, bolts, fabricated structural, and other
shapes) were transferred from the "steel m i l l products" to the
"metal manufactures" category. Data beginning 1952 exclude
exports of these items (except those mentioned above as espe-

cially retained) which totaled 229,000 tons in 1952 and 219,000
tons in 1953. The figures for both exports and imports exclude
iron ore (shown separately on p„ 156), advanced manufactures,
and ferroalloys„ It should be noted that data in the 1957 and
earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS include ferroalloys.
The figures for total imports and scrap imports have been r e vised in this volume to include imports of tinplate scrap.
Imports of steel m i l l products cover products classified as
such in the import schedule, except that certain items are excluded as follows: Bar iron and iron slabs; die blocks; steel
circular saw plates; fabricated beams, girders, etc., sashes and
frames; cast iron soil and pressure pipe; covered wire and
cable (excluded through 1958 only); wire rope and strand; miscellaneous castings and forgings (except railway wheels and
axles, which are included); etc.
Exports cover shipments of "domestic" merchandise; i m ports are imports for consumption (general imports prior to
1934). For general explanation of foreign trade data, as well as
information on sampling procedures effective with data for July
1953 and thereafter, see note 1 for p. 106,
Monthly data for total exports (1955-56) and for scrap (193856) are in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated
at top of p. 197 of this volume, except that scrap imports, as
shown in the 1959 and earlier editions, exclude figures for tinplate scrap. Monthly data for total exports (1946-54) and imports (1946-56), and steel m i l l products (1954-56) are available
upon request.
Monthly data for total exports and imports (1932-54, including figures for ferroalloys), for scrap exports (1936-37) and
scrap imports (1934-37) are in earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS (see exceptions noted). Scattered revisions prior
to 1950 are in the corresponding note in the 1957 volume;
monthly data for 1947 for total exports are shown on p. 274 of
the 1953 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS. The corresponding
note in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS incorrectly
states that, beginning 1952, total exports exclude exports of tinplated circles, strips, cobbles, etc„; such items are included in
the total exports but, beginning 1951, are excluded from scrap
exports. Note that data in the 1942 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS
are in long tons«
2 Includes data not shown separately.
3 Includes also tinplated and terneplated scrap; borings,
shovelings, and turnings; and rerolling and redrawing material,
etc. Figures beginning 1951 have been adjusted to exclude exports of tinplated circles, strips, cobbles, etc.; these items
(which totaled 14,610 tons in 1951) were previously included in
scrap exports.

ning 1951); Bureau of Mines (prior to 1951). The estimated industry totals from 1951 forward (derived from a combined survey covering 1,300 iron and steel foundries and steel ingot producers) are not strictly comparable with earlier data because of
changes in coverage and in sampling and estimating procedures.
The monthly averages for the years 1939-50 for consumption are
computed from annual totals compiled by Bureau of Mines, and
are based on actual reports from all consumers. The year-end
stock figures for 1939-40 are also from the annual surveys by
Bureau of Mines. Consumers' stocks for 1941-50 are monthly
averages of end-of-month stocks estimated for the total industry;
the monthly estimates were based on reports from consumers
accounting for over 90 percent of the industry.
Home scrap produced is scrap produced by the consuming
mills (such as revert or recycled scrap, comprising runs,
spills, risers, and croppings, etc., discarded and defective products, and old scrap); the figures do not include hammer, scale,
and cinder. Net purchased scrap consists of scrap purchased
from outside sources; it excludes scrap transferred from other
plants under the same control, scrap received under exchange
contracts or conversion agreements, as well as scrap otherwise
shipped. It should be noted that the descriptive note in the 1955
issue of BUSINESS STATISTICS incorrectly defines the purchased scrap received as including these transfer shipments.
Complete iron and steel scrap stocks are not available; producers (railroads and manufacturers) are not canvassed. The
original monthly reports also show receipts, consumption, and
stocks reported by dealers, brokers, and automobile wreckers
on a voluntary basis.
Monthly data for 1953-56 are in the 1959 and 1957 editions
of BUSINESS STATISTICS; monthly data for 1941 -50 for consumption
and stocks, comparable with monthly averages for corresponding
years shown herein, are in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. Monthly data
for 1951-52 for production and receipts have been adjusted for
comparability with succeeding data and are available upon r e quest. Quarterly data for December 1939-December 1940 for
consumption and September 1939-December 1940 for stocks are
shown in a footnote on p. S-29 of the November 1942 SURVEY.

Monthly data are industry totals based on reports from a sample canvass of mines in the U. S.; they include estimates for a
number of very small mines. Monthly averages through 1957 for
production and shipments are computed from annual totals based
on actual reports from all mines. The year-end figures for
stocks at mines for 1939-42 (shown on p. 156) are also from the
annual surveys and for 1939-41 are not entirely comparable with
data for later years (see note 9 for p. 156).
The data refer to usable ore, i.e., direct shipping ore, iron ore
concentrate, or iron ore agglomerate (sinter, nodules, pellets,
briquets, and any other glomerule made from fine-grained ore or
concentrate) produced by both mines and beneficiating plants
measured in the form shipped to the consumer. Figures prior
to January 1958 exclude ore containing 5 percent or more manganese. Beginning January 1958, the data include manganiferous
ore (containing 5 percent to 35 percent manganese, and excluding
material not sold or moved to regular iron-ore markets); in 1958,
shipments of such ore amounted to 465,000 long tons. Agglomerates made at consuming plants are not included.
The iron ore producing districts, and the percentage of total
production in each for 1957-60, are: Lake Superior District,
72-80 percent; Southeastern States, 5-7 percent; Northeastern
States, 5"7 percent; Western States, 7-12 percent. About 1 percent of production consists of byproduct ore (iron cinder and
sinter obtained from the pyrites industry).
Monthly data for 1943-56 will be found in earlier editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.

Beginning January 1959, data include exports of secondary
tinplate. In 1959, exports of secondary tinplate totaled 187,000
tons.

districts of the United States and cover ores originating in the
United States, Canada, and other foreign countries. (Operations in
Canada are excluded from figures shown here but are available sep arately in the original reports.) Iron ore is defined as including
direct shipping ore, iron ore concentrates, and iron ore agglomerates (such as pellets, nodules, or sinter) which are produced
at the mine or in conjunction with the mining operation.
For the period 1951-56, consumption covers iron ore consumed
directly in the blast furnaces, steel furnaces, and sintering plants
located at the iron or steel plant. Beginning January 1957, consumption figures also include ore sold to nonreporting companies
and ore used for other purposes; such miscellaneous consumption
totaled 171,000 long tons in 1957 and 93,000 tons in 1958. However, consumption figures, as shown, exclude comparatively
small tonnages of ore consumed by the cement and paint industries and other miscellaneous users. (According to the Bureau
of Mines, consumption of iron ore by these industries in 1957
and 1958 totaled 399,000 and 702,000 long tons, respectively.)
Data on p. 155 for shipments of iron ore (compiled by the U. S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines) include shipments
to these users.

Institute, its coverage of total blast-furnace production was almost 100 percent prior to 1945; thereafter, 100 percent. The
data cover blast-furnace production of pig iron and include silvery pig iron beginning 1955. Prior to 1955, monthly averages
are based on annual totals which exclude production of silvery
pig iron; such production averaged less than 200,000 tons per
year in 1955-58. Production of ferroalloys in blast furnaces
has been excluded from the data, as shown, beginning with the
1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS.

n i e data beginning with 1945 represent industry totals and, beginning with 1951, are estimates based on a combined survey of
approximately 1,300 i r o n and steel foundries and steel ingot p r o ducers. F r o m October 1945 forward, the figures relate to total

only. H i i s change, however, does not significantly affect compar a b i l i t y of the series, since for any month during the war years,
production and shipro_ents were practically the same. Beginning
1952, "shipments for sale" include s m a l l quantities shipped for

^Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Data are industry totals. The totals beginning 1947 (except as noted) are estimates based on reports from producers
which had average monthly shipments of commcrcial steel
forgings of 300 tons or more in 1953 (for May 1951-July 1953,
totals are based on reports received from producers shipping
50 tons or more per month). Forge ships in the aforementioned
category account for the bulk of total industry shipments of
commercial steel forgings. Averages for 1946 are computed
from totals derived from a complete canvass of producers. Estimates for the May 1951-July 1953 period are not strictly comparable with earlier and subsequent data because of the change
in the factors used as a basis for the estimates.
The forge shops covered by these data include only those producing forgings for sale to the trade. The forgings not included
in "for sale," i.e., those for own use, are forgings which are
further processed or machined in the same plant in which the
forgings were produced; in other plants of the same company; or
in affiliated, subsidiary, or parent companies. All other forgings
are considered as commercial forgings, and are included in "for
sale." The term "drop and upset forgings" includes all steel
products whose final forming operations are completed on a
steam drop hammer, board drop hammer, upsetter, or mechanical press. Total shipments also include "press and open-hammer" forgings, i.e., steel products whose forming operations are
completed on a flat die, either on open hammer or press. The
tonnages reported for shipments and unfilled orders represent
the weight of the forgings before machining.
Monthly data for 1946-56, comparable with monthly averages
for corresponding years shown herein, will be found in earlier
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of
this volume.
2 Source: American Metal Market. Data represent the average price of finished carbon steel products, excluding rails,
based on daily prices of 10 pounds of steel products weighted
according to tonnage importance. The price covers the following
items: 2 pounds of bars (H.R.); 1 - 1 / 2 pounds each of plates,
pipe (buttweld, base and extension after average discounts on 1/2
to 3 inch), and sheets (26 gauge, cold rolled, 36" x 120—extension is base plus size extras); 1 pound each of shapes, nails
(eight-penny nail, including extras), and strip (H.R.); and 1/2
pound of tinplate (base box, 1 - 1 / 2 lb. coating, 100 lb).
During World War 11, changes in production of some items r e sulted in corresponding alternatives in relatives which, however,
had only a minor downward effect on the composite. Beginning
July 1948 the basis of quotation was changed from the basing point
system to quotations at the mills of leading producers.

Commercial closures for glass containers cover both the
metal and plastic types (except caps for collapsible tubes) and
include those for both food and nonfood containers; they exclude
production of milk bottle closures (paper, aluminum, and other)
which averaged 10.3 billion units per year in the 1957-59. (In
previous editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS, production of milk
bottle closures was incorrectly stated, in corresponding note, in
terms of million units.) Of the total production of closures in
1957-59, the metal type averaged 82 percent.
The original reports show production and shipments of commercial closures for glass containers by type and size; production and shipments of milk bottle closures by type; crowns by
end use; and home-canning closures for glass containers.

2 Source: American Iron and Steel Institute. Data are compiled from reports of companies representing nearly 100 percent
of the total production of the industry for 1953-60, and over 95
percent for earlier years. The industry includes only those
processors which are also primary producers of steel. Data
are net shipments, i.e., they exclude shipments to members of
the industry for conversion into further finished products or for
resale.
Data reflect regrouping of certain products and differ from
those shown in BUSINESS STATISTICS prior to the 1957 edition.
Total shipments relate to all grades of steel (carbon, alloy,
stainless, and heat-resisting steels). For some early years, total shipments include small quantities of certain grades not distributed to the separate product classifications. For example, no
product detail is available for heat-resisting steels for the period
1941-49. The component items for which data are given and
which may need clarification are described below.
''Semifinished products'ingots and steel castings, blooms,
slabs, billets, tube rounds, sheet bars, skelp, and wire rods.
"Rails and accessories'' —all rails, tie plates, rolled and forged
wheels, axles, joint bars, and track spikes. "Hot rolled bars, including light shapes" — (the note appearing in the 1955 and earlier
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS with reference to coverage of
grades for hot rolled bars is incorrect); the figures comprise
carbon, alloy, and stainless steel grades through 1949 and, thereafter, also heat-resisting- steels. "Pipe and tubing"—standard
and line pipe, oil-country goods, and mechanical and pressure
tubing. "Wire and wire products' '—drawn wire, wire nails and
staples, barbed and twisted wire, woven wire fence, bale ties,
and baling wire. "Tin m i l l products'' —electrolytic tinplate, hot
dipped tinplate and terneplate, and black plate. "Sheets and
strip"-hot and cold rolled, galvanized sheets, and (beginning
1946) all other coated and enameling sheets; also (beginning
1946) electrical sheets and strip. For the period 1946-56, figures for cold rolled sheets (shown separately, p. 160) include
shipments of enameling sheets (in 1946-50, such shipments averaged 210,000 tons per year); beginning 1957, shipments of enameling sheets are classified as to either hot or cold rolled
sheets.
The annual totals include revisions that cannot be allocated to
the separate months because some companies make adjustments
in their yearly figures which are not available on a monthly basis. Monthly averages are based on the annual totals.

scrap are based only on data reported to the Bureau of Mines and
to the Aluminum Smelters Research Institute.
Beginning January 1956, data for aluminum recovered from
scrap are compiled by Bureau of Mines from a survey of smelters
and from figures supplied by the Aluminum Smelters Research
Institute covering the operations of its members. Earlier data
were reported directly to the Bureau of Mines.
The 1957 monthly figures for recovery from scrap exclude
operations of plants consuming less than 100 tons of aluminumbase scrap per year. Effective January 1958, the data include
monthly estimates of metallic recovery from aluminum scrap
by nonreporting scrap consumers. The monthly data for 1957-60
are expressed in terms of metallic content (i.e., aluminura and
alloying constituents, including copper, magnesium, zinc, etc.)
calculated to be recoverable from scrap consumed. Monthly averages reflect recoverable aluminum content only of new and old
aluminum-base scrap; aluminum content is approximately 93 percent of the metallic content. The calculated recoverable naetallic content of purchased aluminum-base scrap consumed includes
new, old, and imported scrap, and scrap treated on toll agreement. No estimates of home or run-around scrap (process scrap
consumed in the plant where generated) are included in the total.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 (except for stocks) and monthly
data for primary production (1941-56), secondary production
(1953-56), and stocks (1955-56) will be found in earlier editions
of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this
volume. For primary production, monthly data for 1945-46 have

For imports, monthly averages beginning 1949 are general i m ports (i.e., imports for immediate consumption plus material
entering the country under bond); those for 1939-48, imports for
consumption. Monthly averages for 1949 for imports for consumption, comparable with data shown through 1948 are as follows (short tons): Metals and alloys, crude, 6,445,and plates,
etc., 655. For foreign trade definitions, as well as information
on sampling procedures effective with data for July 1953 and
thereafter, see note 1 for p. 106.
Imports of metal and and alloys (crude) include imports of ingots, pigs, and wire bars; figures for plates, sheets, and bars

on daily quotations at New York. For the years 1939-47, average
annual prices are for 99%+virgin ingot aluminum; for 1948-July
1960, prices refer to 99%+pig aluminum (1947 average comparable with succeeding years, $0.1400); and beginning August
1960, primary unalloyed ingot, 99.5% minimum, base price, 50pound units, f.o.b. customer's plant or point where buyer takes
custody in U. S., no transportation allowances. Effective August
1960, primary aluminum, previously listed as "pig", is sold as
"ingot" at the same price level applying to the former pig
aluminum.
Improved techniques in production have enabled the industry to
step up purity of the primary aluminum to a guaranteed 99.5%.
Since the primary product (sometimes called "processed pig")
has approached the ingot classification, the term"ingot" was substituted for "pig". Therefore, the "ingot" price beginning August
1960 is comparable with the prices quoted for "pig" as shown for
1948 forward.
In previous editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS and in the
monthly SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS prior to the September 1960 issue, the aluminum price was for 30 -pound ingots
(priced at $0.2810 in July 1960), comparable with data shown in
this volume for 1939-47.

Coverage of the specified products is essentially complete.
Data for net shipments of pig and ingot (combined in this volume
with shipments of m i l l products, but shown separately in original reports) relate to both primary and secondary products.
The figures include shipments by importers and represent shipments to consuming industries, i.e., to foundries for producing
castings, to steel plants and others for destructive uses, as well
as shipments for export. Pig and ingot shipped for further processing into m i l l products (for which separate data are shown)
are not included. Net shipments of pig and ingot are derived by
subtracting all receipts from reported gross shipments.
Total m i l l products comprise-in addition to plate and sheet
(and foil), shown separately—rolled, and continuous cast, rod
and bar; wire and cable; extruded shapes; drawn and welded
tubing; powder and paste; forgings (as noted below); and for 1942September 1945, also ingots, except ingots for castings. (For
1942-45, shipments of ingots, powder, and paste averaged 15.0;
21.3; 38.7; and 24.8 million pounds per month.) Beginning 1955,
data include shipments of aluminum forgings, whereas previous ly the figures included forging stock as shipments in the shape
in which it was shipped to the forging operation. Total monthly
shipments of mill products as measured beginning 1955 are estimated to be between 1 and 2 million pounds less than would
have been calculated under the former method. However, the
addition of some captive operations not previously covered
partly offsets this difference.
Shipments represent net shipments (derived beginning 1954
by subtracting the sum of producers' domestic receipts of each
m i l l shape from the industry's gross shipments of that shape;
prior thereto, by subtracting from total shipments the shipments
to other metal mills for further fabrication into other forms of
m i l l products). The series beginning 1954 for mill products
(compiled jointly by Census and BDSA) differs from that shown
through 1953 which is according to Census reports (CPA prior
to 1945). Differences between the two series are due to differ ences in the types of establishments canvassed, the types of products covered, and the methods of deriving net shipments.
Monthly averages for 1953, comparable with shipments for 1954,
for total m i l l products and plate and sheet are 185.7 and 108.2
million pounds, respectively. (Monthly data for 1953 comparable with figures for 1954 are shown in the pertinent descriptive
note on pp. 289 and 290 of the 1955 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS.) Data for plate and sheet for the period October 1945December 1953 include weight of foil stock; prior to October
1945, shipments include weight of the foil. This change does not
materially affect the comparability of the data.

to bring the previously published data into closer agreement with
the estimates obtained for September-December 1952 f r o m the

the figures reflect adjustments to industry totals based on the expanded survey of 625 establishments (producing nonferrous castings) introduced in January 1959, The o r i g i n a l survey panel was
expanded for the 1958 data in order to m^ore fully represent the

Monthly data for 1953-56 are shown in the 1959 and 1957 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS. (Revisions for March 1953:
Stocks-total, 123,000 tons; fabricators', 88,000 tons.) Quarterly
data for consumption (1947-52) and for stocks (1952) are available upon request. Monthly data prior to 1953 for consumption
and stocks are not available.
2 Source: Engineering and Mining Journal. Data are based on
weighted averages of domestic sales for both prompt and future
delivery, and represent averages of daily quotations for copper in
the form of ordinary wire bars and ingot bars. Cathodes in
standard sizes are sold at discounts prevailing at the various r e fineries at time of shipment. Other shapes are subject to premiums currently in force at the refineries.
In the trade, copper prices are quoted on a delivered basis,
i.e., delivered to consumer's plant. Since delivery charges vary
with the destination, as well as the shipping point, the figures
here are net prices at refineries. The average shipment cost is
deducted in order to arrive at a refinery price.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1929-56
will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as
indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.

1951). The data for previous periods as taken from various
sources were adjusted by BDSA where necessary to be comparable with
succeeding figures. The data represent the entire
copper and copper-base alloy m i l l and foundry fabricating industries.
Shipments are reported in terms of metal weight, except for
copper wire m i l l products which are reported in copper content.
The original reports also show separately for brass m i l l products, shipments of sheet and strip; rod, bar, and wire; and pipe
and tube (for both copper-base alloy and unalloyed copper); for
wire m i l l products, bare wire and insulated wire; as well as
shipments of powder-mill products (granular and flake).
Quarterly data for 1953-56 are shown in the 1959 and 1957
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS; quarterly data for 1943-52,
comparable with quarterly averages for corresponding years
shown herein, are available upon request.
^ Source: U. S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Mines, for
all series except as noted. Mine production data represent actual
mine output (in terms of recoverable metal) from domestic mines,
including those in Alaska. Monthly reports for mine production
are on an estimated 100-percent-coverage basis and are adjusted
after the year-end to final annual figures. Monthly data for all
other series are based on reports from a l l primary producers;
from most of the known secondary smelters and others using
scrap; and from approximately 450 consumers of lead. Except
for data on consumption and secondary production, no estimates
are made for those companies not reporting monthly. Monthly
averages through 1959 are computed from annual totals derived
from the sum of the monthly data and from reports from additional companies which report on an annual basis only; averages
for 1960 are based on totals derived from the monthly survey.
All data, except stocks of scrap, are in terms of lead content.
Secondary production represents lead recovered from lead-,
tin-, and copper-base scrap at both primary and secondary
smelters. The total includes secondary lead recovered by
smelters that treat ore and some scrap, as well as by smelters
that treat only scrap and drosses.
Consumption (compiled by American Bureau of Metal Statistics
prior to 1942) represents total consumption of primary and secondary lead. The data include lead in ore used directly in the
manufacture of leaded zinc oxide production, and small quantities
of the lead content of scrap used directly in fabricated products.
The original reports show monthly consumption of lead in metal
products, pigments, chemicals, etc., by products.
Producers' stocks are compiled by the American Bureau of
Metal Statistics. Such data, beginning as of December 31, 1953,
comprise total stocks of lead (domestically produced and including imported lead) in raw material and in base bullion at smelters,
in transit, at refineries, in process, or refined lead on consignment at consumers' plants (but still owned by producers). F i g ures shown on "monthly average lines" prior to 1953 represent
averages of monthly stocks of lead produced in the United States
and held by producers.
Primary refiners' stocks of refined lead and antimonial lead
(as compiled annually by Bureau of Mines beginning 1943) represent physical inventories at the plants, irrespective of ownership, and do not include material in process or in transit. Refiners' stocks prior to 1943 are as reported by ABMS and include
metal held by all primary refiners and also by some of the r e finers of secondary metal that produce soft lead. Stocks reported
by ABMS at end of 1943, comparable with earlier years, totaled
33,100 tons.
Consumers' and secondary smelters' stocks of lead in refinery
shapes (the latter included beginning 1956) and lead in copperbase scrap represent inventories at plants. (These stocks are
shown in the original reports by type of material held.) The data
beginning 1951 reflect the inclusion of reports from additional
respondents; December 31, 1950 stocks shown are revised for
comparability with later data. December 31, 1950 stocks, comparable with stocks for earlier periods, amounted to 125,200
short tonso Beginning 1956, the figures include secondary
smelters' stocks of refinery shapes not included in the data for
earlier periods. At the end of January 1956, such stocks at
secondary smelters' plants amounted to approximately 12,000
short tonso For the period 1940-46, end-of-year stocks cover r e fined soft lead only; such stocks at the end of 1947 totaled 48,800
short tonso Consumers' stocks of lead are not available prior to
1940.
Stocks of purchased lead-base scrap held by a l l consumers
(remelters, smelters, refiners, etc.) are shown in terms of gross

reported by consumers from earlier surveys at the end of 1942^
1941, and 1940, totaled 53,500 tons, 41,200 tons, and 41,900 tons,
respectively^
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1953-56
are shown in the 1959 and 1957 editions of BUSINESS STATIS TICS» Note that monthly figures for secondary production through
1956 exclude estimates for nonreporting smelters and lead r e covered from copper-base scrap„ (Revisions: Producers' stocks,
December 31-1953, 118,151 and 1954, 106,620 short tons.)
Monthly data for 1948-52 (except for refiners' stocks which are
compiled monthly by Bureau of Mines beginning January 1951) are
available upon request. Monthly data for 1930-54 for primary
lead production, shipments, and stocks (compiled by ABMS and
as published in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS prior to
the October 1955 issue), as well as mine production data for 194152, will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as

Monthly reported figures are from companies estimated to
account for over 90 percent of tin consumption and stocks.
Tin recovery data (available monthly beginning April 1958)
represent total secondary tin recovered from scrap processed
in the United States. The total includes tin recovered in all
forms-covering alloys, solder, type metal, babbitt, etc., as well
as in metal (secondary pig tin and remelt tin) which is shown
separately.
Domestic mine production of tin is virtually nil. Data beginning 1953 for total consumption include tin content of imported
tin-base alloys (not included in earlier data); such alloys used
in 1953-54 averaged about 300 tons per month. The figures
shown for stocks of pig tin comprise industrial stocks and, for
the 1940-56 period, also those Government -owned stocks (owned
by Federal Facilities Corporation or RFC) which were available
for industry use. Stocks of tin in the national stockpile were not
included. Industrial stocks represent stocks held by private
smelters, fabricators, and distributors but do not include tin in
process, tin afloat to the U. S., and secondary pig tin (the latter
through 1950). Beginning 1951 the figures include stocks of secondary pig tin; for the period 1951-56, such stocks on December
31 averaged 300 long tons.
Monthly averages for 1939-59 for tin recovery and for consumption are based on annual totals; stock figures for 1939-50
represent stocks as of December 31. Averages for 1951-60 for
stocks are based on the monthly data. (Monthly figures were not
compiled by the Bureau of Mines prior to 1951.)

^^ Beginning with 1956, a more accurate method was introduced
for classifying data as between consumers' and secondary
smelters' stocks (in refinery shapes, etc.) and scrap stocks.
Accordingly, there were shifts between the two classifications,
but the net changes in the respective levels of stocks did not
significantly affect comparability with earlier data.

Data on imports cover zinc-bearing ores (except pyrites containing not more than 3 percent zinc) and zinc blocks, pigs, or
slabs. General imports refer to imports for immediate consumption plus material entering the country under bond. The monthly
average for 1960 for imports of ores is based on a revised annual

(except as noted below). Monthly data represent industry totals;
monthly averages for all series through 1959 are based on Bureau of Mines annual surveys which include additional small companies not reporting monthly. Averages for 1960 are based on
totals derived from the monthly surveys.
Consumption of ores and secondary zinc is expressed in terms
of recoverable zinc content of ores and of zinc-base scrap,
copper-, aluminum-, and magnesium-base scrap. Through 1956,
monthly averages for consumption of ores are based on totals
which cover ores used in the production of zinc sulfate, zinc oxide,
and lithopone; beginning 1957, ores used for lithopone production
are excluded from the figures. (The monthly data exclude consumption of ores for lithopone for all years.) Beginning 1957, in
addition to
ores consumed in the production of zinc sulfate and
zinc oxide, the averages also cover ores used directly in galvanizing. (However, the monthly data include consumption of ores
used in galvanizing only beginning January 1958.) The data cover
domestic ores and, beginning 1941, also consumption of foreign
ores. Monthly averages for consumption of zinc-base scrap by
chemical plants, foundries, and other manufacturers exclude production of redistilled slab (shown separately under slab zinc
statistics), zinc produced by remelting and, beginning 1957, consumption of scrap used to produce lithopone. (The monthly data
exclude such consumption for all years.) The figures include
zinc content of zinc dust made from other than scrap.
Primary smelter production of slab zinc (from domestic and
foreign ores) is calculated, for the monthly series, as the difference between total secondary (redistilled) production as compiled by Bureau of Mines and total smelter production as reported
monthly by the American Zinc Institute, since the Bureau of Mines
compiles primary smelter production on a yearly basis only.
Production of secondary redistilled zinc by primary and secondary smelters excludes zinc recovered by remelting purchased
scrap (except that beginning 1954, the data include small quantities of redistilled slab made from remelt die-cast slab) and from
other operations (such as production of zinc dust, zinc in zinc
oxide form, etc., and zinc recovered from other alloy scrap).
Consumption of slab zinc by fabricators (shown separately by
industry groups and products in the original reports) includes
small quantities of remelt zinc for some years. The monthly
average for 1939 for consumption (calculated by the American
Bureau of Metal Statistics) is based on total industrial use of p r i mary and secondary zinc, except for a few small consumers.
Consumers' stocks represent slab zinc at plants and exclude
remelt spelter and metal in transit. Monthly figures for producers' stocks are compiled by the American Zinc Institute and
represent stocks of slab zinc as reported by all producers that
are members of the Institute. Producers' stocks shown for 193959 on "monthly average lines" represent stocks of zinc held
December 31 at primary and secondary zinc reduction plants;
these figures are derived from Bureau of Mines annual surveys.
Producers' stocks (as of December 31, 1960) are as reported by
the American Zinc Institute.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1953-56
(except for consumption of ores and scrap; available for JulyDecember 1956 only) are shown in the 1959 and 1957 editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS; monthly data for all series for 1944-52

1 Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Comparability of the series has been affected at various
times by changes in the number of reporting companies and in
items included (see following paragraphs for available details on
major changes). Beginning with 1954, the data for fans and
blowers and for the unit-heater group represent orders booked by
all known manufacturers of the specified products. Figures for
1948-53 are believed to represent substantially complete industry coverage, whereas those prior to 1948 account for about 90
percent of total "production" of the items.
The Bureau of the Census reviewed the returns from the 1947
and 1954 Census of Manufactures and, as a result, revised previously published figures from 1948 forward and again from 1954
forward to incorporate data for a number of companies not r e porting in the original surveys. In 1948, shipments of fans,
blowers, and unit heaters by the additional companies included
accounted for about 10 percent of the total 1948 shipments. Additional companies included effective with 1950 accounted for about
4 percent of the total value of shipments of the specified items
in that year. The revision beginning with 1954 raised the level of
new orders for fans and blowers in that year from a quarterly
average of $47,334,000 to $49,158,000; the revision of data for
the unit-heater group was minor. Such changes as were made in
coverage, etc., for the period prior to 1948 were, for the most
part, unimportant.
Figures for fans and blowers relate almost entirely to commercial and industrial equipment; they include centrifugal fans
and blowers, propeller fans and accessories, and axial fans. Beginning with the 1st quarter of 1957, the adjusted figures, as
shown here, exclude household propeller fans which were excluded from the survey beginning with the 1st quarter of 1958.
(In 1957, new orders for household propeller fans totaled
$43,900,000; however, prior to 1958, it is not known to what extent manufacturers reported orders for fans which, by definition,
should not have been included in this group.) Also, beginning
with the 1st quarter of 1957, the figures reflect a redefining of the
industrial propeller fan group to include attic fans (all types),
mine fans, crop-drying fans, and other industrial ventilating
and exhaust fans; for 1957, shipments for this group on the new
and old bases totaled $21,800,000 and $21,200,000, respectively.
Data beginning 1953 include new orders for positive displacement
blowers and turbo-blowers not included in earlier figures. In
1953, new orders for these additional items averaged $2,620,000
per quarter.
The unit-heater group covers industrial-type unit heaters,
duct furnaces, unit ventilators, and heat transfer coils. Figures
for oil-fired unit heaters are not included. Data beginning 1947,
for both fans and blowers and the unit-heater group, include also
spare parts which, with the exception of some wheels and housings for fans and blowers, were not included prior to 1947. However, the change did not significantly affect comparability of the
1947 figures with those for 1946 and earlier years shown here.
The original reports provide information in detail for individual items, including the dollar value of shipments. Figures for
air washers and (beginning 1956) power roof ventilators, available in the original reports, are not included in the data shown
here.
Quarterly averages prior to 1939 and quarterly or monthly
data for 1936-56 (for 1933-56 for unit heaters) are in earlier
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197

Data as reported by the Bureau of the Census cover the entire
industry. According to information from the Association, the
reported data for electric trucks (operator riding) are estimated
to cover the following percentages of the industry total: For the
period 1941-49, 75 to 80 percent; 1950, 85 percent; 1951-53, 95
percent; 1954, 99 percent. Beginning 1955, figures for all types
shown cover approximately the entire industry (except as noted
below).
Data cover electric rider-type trucks, hand (motorized) trucks,
and gasoline - powered trucks (including the rider types) and tractors, The platform types (fixed, low lift, and high lift), the cantilever types (fork, ram, and crane), and straddle carriers, as well
as some special models, are included. The figures for gasolinepowered tractors do not include farm or construction tractors
with lifting attachments. Manufacturers of these types are not
members of the ITA; any tractors made by these firms for industrial use are excluded from the figures shown here. (See
p. 167 for wheel-type and other tractors used in the construction
industry.)
Data prior to 1955 for electric hand trucks and gasoline-powered trucks and tractors, as compiled by the Association, are not
available. According to the 1954 Census of Manufactures, shipments (for which number of units is available) of powered trucks
(operator walking) totaled 8,452 units in 1954 and 7,469 in 1947;
shipments of gasoline - powered trucks (operator riding) and tractors totaled 21,322 units in 1954 and 17,824 in 1947.

The data represent total industry shipments, new orders, and
backlog based on reports from Association members. Reported
volume of shipments and new orders accounts for 85-90 percent
of the industry totals.
The data relate to machine tools of the metal-cutting and metalforming types (see also p. 167), defined as power driven, complete metalworking machines, not portable by hand, used for progressively removing metal in the form of chips or for the forming
of metal, such as presses and forging machines.
Estimated backlog is calculated as follows: (a) 3-month moving averages (using the value of shipments for the latest 9
months) are computed for each reporting company; (b) the highest 3-month moving average for each reporting company is
selected and these averages are totaled; (c) this total is then
divided into the total dollar value of unfilled orders reported by
these companies for the latest month.
The indexes of new orders and shipments of machine tools, as
shown in the biennial editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (194955 issues), have been discontinued. (The new orders index previously published was based on gross new orders. Therefore,
comparison of rates of change between the present dollar series
of net new orders and the former index for gross new orders
should not be made.)
For metal-cutting tools, monthly averages prior to 1939 for
total shipments only and monthly data (1953-55) for all series
are in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated
at top of p. 197 of this volume; monthly data (1945-52), comparable with monthly averages for corresponding years shown herein
are available upon request. Monthly figures (1956) for metalcutting and metal-forming tools combined are in the 1959 edition;
separate data are available upon request. Data prior to 1956

1st quarter 1960, the data reflect additions and substitutions of
some classes of machinery. Comparison of overlapping figures
indicate that, for the total shown here, these differences are
minor. (Quarterly data for 1957, comparable with succeeding
quarters, are not available; for 1957 quarterly figures for excavating and earthmoving machinery, excluding tractors, see

sales, but these data do not differ significantly from shipments.
Figures prior to 1953 for contractors' off-highway wheel tractors are not shown separately but are combined with data for
other types of wheel tractors (except garden); such totals are
shown in adjacent columns. (In 1952, shipments of wheel-type
contractors' off-highway tractors averaged 1,007 units valued
at $14,962,000 per quarter.) Prior to 1957, tractor shovel
loaders shipped as integral units were not reported separately
and are here included in either the tracklaying or wheel-type
class.
In the original construction machinery reports, shipments
(total and for export) by type of equipment are shown by number
and value; the tractor reports show, by horsepower rating, the
number of tractors shipped for domestic and export use, and the
number produced by type of fuel powering the engine.
Quarterly data for excavating and earthmoving types of equipment only (1948-57) and for tractors (1953-56) are in the 1959
and 1957 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS. See p. 300 of the
1957 edition for construction machinery (1948-52 quarterly data);
quarterly data for tractors (1948-52) are available upon request.
3 For summary of items included in the total but not shown
separately, see 4th paragraph of note 2 for this page.
^Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The data are based on reports received from all active
manufacturers of complete tractors of the specified types and,
through 1952, include shipments (or sales) of contractors' offhighway wheel tractors. After 1952, such shipments (averaging
per quarter in that year 1,007 units at $14,962,000) are reported
separately under the construction machinery group, since contractors' off-highway wheel tractors are used extensively in connection with excavating and earthmoving.
The figures prior to 1947 represent sales, but these data do not
differ significantly from shipments. Quarterly averages prior
to 1951 are based on annual totals reported on either a fiscalyear or calendar-year basis. Also, the quarterly averages for
some years are computed from totals which include revisions
not allocated by quarters.
The original monthly reports (from which the quarterly data
shown here are derived) also show, by horsepower rating, the
number of tractors shipped for domestic and export use, the
number produced by type of fuel powering the engine, and total
inventory held at end of month.
Quarterly data for 1953-56 are in the 1959 and 1957 editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS; annual totals beginning 1922 (except for
the years 1932, 1933, and 1934) are available upon request.
Quarterly data for wheel-type tractors, other than contractors'
off-highway, are not available prior to 1952.
^ Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The quarterly estimates of total shipments of selected classes of farm machines and equipment (except tractors) are based
on quarterly reports from manufacturers producing significant
amounts of the classes of products itemized below. For all types,
the reporting companies account for over 65 percent of the total
value of shipments and for the largest classes of products, the
reporting companies account for over 80 percent of the total. The
data cover the value of complete units and attachments, but exclude the value of parts. The classes of products covered are as
follows: Plows and listers; harrows, rollers, pulverizers, and
stalk cutters; planting, seeding, and fertilizing machinery; cultivators and weeders; sprayers and dusters; harvesting machinery;
haying machinery; machines for preparing crops for market or
for use; milking machines and equipment; farm wagons, trucks,
and other farm transportation equipment; and farm elevators and
blowers (included through 1955 only; shipments of farm elevators
and blowers in the 1st 3 quarters of 1955 averaged $11,000,000
per quarter).
Figures obtained from annual surveys of farm machines and
equipment are not comparable with the quarterly estimates because the two surveys differ in the following respects. First, the
annual survey represents virtually complete coverage of all manufacturers of farm machines and equipment and comprises shipments of complete units, attachments, and parts, whereas the
quarterly survey (based on a sample of manufacturers) does not
cover the value of parts shipped. (The total value of attachments
and parts shipped in recent years is as follows: 1959, $227,390,000; 1958, $224,694,000; 1957, $184,979,000; 1956, $185,257,000.) Second, the annual survey also includes the value of farm
elevators and blowers, farm poultry, and barn and barnyard
equipment, not called for in the quarterly survey. (Total shipments in recent years of the aforementioned types of equipment,
including the value of parts, are as follows: 1959, $127,470,000;
1958, $128,961,000; 1957, $100,796,000; 1956, $99,991,000.)
Third, for various periods (as noted below), the annual survey
covers tractors, or certain types of tractors, not included in the
quarterly data. Finally, whereas the quarterly estimates refer
to calendar quarters, the annual totals are reported by manufacturers on either a calendar- or fiscal-year basis.
Quarterly data for 1954-56 are shown in the 1959 and 1957
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS.
Annual reports on farm equipment have been published by the
Department since 1920, except for the years 1932, 1933, and 1934.
These reports show value of domestic and export shipments for
complete units and/or attachments and parts by class of product
and by geographical division and state, as well as number produced, and domestic and export shipments by individual items of
farm equipment. For the period 1955-59, export shipments of
farm machines and equipment (complete units, attachments, and
parts), excluding tractors, averaged 7 percent of total shipments.
Total shipments of farm machines and equipment (compiled from
the annual reports of the Bureau of the Census) are shown below:

sales compiled from report s of members of the Association
estimated to account for at least 97 percent of the total industry
sales and, beginning 1958, for nearly 100 percent of the total.
Beginning 1957 the figures cover domestic and export sales and
exclude sales of combination washer-dryer machines; for the
period 1946-56, the data relate to domestic sales only and include the combination machines. (Sales of the latter, including
exports, in 1958 totaled 168,000 units, in 1957, 179,000, and in
1956, domestic sales were 102,000 units.)
The data through 1942, as shown here, represent estimated industry totals (including export sales) and are based on reports
from members accounting for approximately 98 percent of total
sales. Figures for the war period are not available.
For 1947-52 and January-June 1953, the figures include sales of
small or midget-type washers. Total sales of such types for the
aforementioned years are as follows (thousands of units): 336.8;
287.6; 99.2; 100.9; 79.5; 73.5; 30.8 (for January-June 1953).

of both nonmember and member companies of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association; the reports do not include all
manufacturers of these products but are stated by the compilers
to be fairly representative of the industry. The indexes are
based on dollar figures of billed sales for electrical insulating
materials (except that the coated electrical sleeving component
index is based on footage) and on -dollar figures of gross orders
received for motors and generators.
The method of computation of the electrical insulating materials index is as follows: (1) A separate index is computed for
each of the components of the series; (2) each of the indexes is
multiplied by the weight assigned to it; (3) these weighted indexes
are than combined for each month and the aggregate for each
month is related to the average aggregate monthly figure for
the base years, 1947-49.

BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1961 EDITION
The method of computation of the motors and generators index
is as follows: First the value reported quarterly to the Association for each component product is inflated to represent 100 percent of the industry, based on estimates of the coverage of the
reports prepared by the Association from available data; the inflated dollar figures for all products covered by the index are
then combined for each quarter and the aggregate for each quarter
is related to the average aggregate quarterly figure for the base
years, 1947-49. The 1942-45 data for motors and generators
have been adjusted for cancellations reported through December
1945; in making this adjustment the cancellations were deducted
from data for the quarter in which the original order was r e ported. Similar adjustments have not been made in the earlier
data nor in the data since 1945.
No adjustments have been made in pertinent periods for r e negotiations of contracts nor for unusual fluctuations due to
extremely large orders. The indexes are not adjusted for seasonal variations nor for differences in the number of working days
in the month.
Monthly and/or quarterly averages prior to 1939 and monthly
and/or quarterly data for 1953-56 for the insulating materials
index and the motors and generators index are in the 1959 and
1957 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS; for 1934-52 data, see p.
28 of the February 1955 SURVEY,

from data furnished voluntarily by its members. It should be
noted that the statistical coverage is not altogether comprehensive. The Association states that the figures shown are not
necessarily complete nor are they necessarily comparable;
users of the data are therefore cautioned to avoid misinterpretation„
Gross new orders of electric motors and generators cover
domestic business only; that is, business with organizations in
the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii) and the Canal
Zone. The data relate to integral horsepower motors and generators-, direct current, 1-200 horsepower, 3/4 to 150 kilowatts,
inclusive, and to integral horsepower motors, polyphase induction, 1-200 horsepower, inclusive.
The data are for a varying number of reporting companies and
the percentage of coverage of the industry may vary slightly
from month to month. According to figures obtained from the
1958 Census of Manufactures, the 1958 billings data (available
from the original reports) for direct current motors and generators represent over 80 percent of the total industry commercial
shipments; for polyphase induction motors, over 70 percent of the
total.
Quarterly averages prior to 1939 and monthly or quarterly
data for 1929-56 (except monthly figures prior to 1932 for polyphase induction motors) are in earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. Monthly
data for July 1929 through 1931 for polyphase induction motors
are available upon request.
Figures shown on the "monthly average lines" for the index
of new orders of motors and generators are quarterly averages.

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 carloadings of anthracite as reported by the Association of American Railroads, prorated to a monthly basis, A
census of mine operators is taken annually and the monthly data
are then adjusted to the reported total. Figures include coal
loaded at mines for shipment (product of breakers, washeries,
and 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 through 1940. Beginning 1941, data include bootleg coal
purchased by legitimate operators and prepared at their breakers.
Annual total amounts of bootleg coal included are as follows
(thousands of short tons): 1941, 1,902; 1942, 2,617; 1943, 1,266;
1944, 507; 1945, 260; 1946, 352; 1947, 604; 1948, 544; 1949, 443;
1950, 601. (The 1941-46 figures for bootleg coal as shown in the
1949 and 1947 SUPPLEMENT notes represent total production,
not amounts purchased by legitimate operators.) Beginning 1951,
data include output of small independent producers, many of whom
were formerly classed as bootleg operators.

white ash (chestnut size through 1952; stove thereafter); those

sales of coal (1-ton lots) for residential use delivered at the
curb, or into the bin if no extra charge is made. Taxes are included where applicable.
The number of cities on which the composite prices are based
is as follows: Anthracite prices—5 cities beginning December
1957; 6 in 1953 through November 1957; 11 in 1951 and 1952; 10
to 25 prior to 1951 (city representation gradually reduced from
25 prior to July 1944 to 10 at end of 1950); bituminous prices—25
cities beginning December 1957; 26 in 1953 through November
1957; 29 in 1951 and 1952; 21 to 38 prior to 1951 (city representation was gradually reduced from 38 prior to September 1940
to 21 at end of 1950). In most cases the composite was not
materially affected by the chang;e in number of cities „
Effective with 1951, the prices for both anthracite and bituminous are weighted by "cost-population" in each city surveyed in 1950. The anthracite series prior to 1951 is a weighted
average of prices in the cities covered (weights used were based
on distribution by rail, or rail and tidewater, to each city during
the 12-month period from August 1, 1935, to July 31, 1936). The
bituminous prices prior to 1951 are unweighted averages of quotations.

The monthly figures as originally compiled and reported in the
SURVEY are estimates based on daily and weekly statements
of cars of coal 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 from district and State sources. Allowance has been made
for commercial truck shipments, local sales, and colliery fuel,
and for small truck or wagon mines which produce over 1,000
tons a year. These estimates are later revised to agree with the
results of the annual statistical reports from the coal producers.
Data comprise bituminous and lignite and any anthracite mined
outside of Pennsylvania, coal used at collieries for power and
heat, and coal made into coke at the mines.
Data exclude production from small mines which have an output of less than 1,000 tons a year and sell their product by wagon
or truck; such production was also excluded from data for 1919,
1921, 1924 and thereafter as published in earlier volumes. In
1944 there were approximately 1,821 of these small mines with a
total production of 756,000 tons (later information is not available) .
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1929 -38
and 1941-56 will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. Data for

(For electric power utilities, the data included beginning with
July 1936 are originally compiled by Federal Power Commission,
previously by U. S. Geological Survey; for railroads. Association
of American Railroads.)
The data on both consumption and stocks (latter series on p.
170) cover bituminous coal, including lignite, and are based on
complete coverage, except for certain categories of manufacturing and mining and the retail category which are estimated totals
based on a selected list of reporters. After establishing periodic
benchmark totals for the estimated components, the totals for a
given month are determined by matching plants reporting for that
month with the same plants reporting for the preceding month,
calculating the percentage change from the previous month, and
applying this percentage change to the published figure for the
previous month.
The total shown for industrial consumption and retail deliver ies to other consumers includes bunker fuel (not shown separately) and approximates total consumption of bituminous coal and
lignite. Because of omissions from stocks, a reliable consumption figure cannot be calculated on the basis of production, i m ports, exports, and changes in stocks. The important omissions
comprise stocks on Lake and Tidewater docks, those at other
intermediate storage piles between mine and consumer, and coal
in transit.
Figures for electric power utilities pertain to bituminous coal
and lignite consumed and stocks held by public utility power
plants. They exclude data for plants generating electric energy
for electric
railways and railroads and manufacturing plants
generating electric energy for public sale (such data were excluded from previously published monthly figures beginning 1945
only; coal consumed by these plants totaled 2,231,000 tons in
1944).
Consumption figures for railroads (class I) pertain to bituminous coal and lignite for a l l uses, including locomotive,
powerhouse, shop, and station fuel. Data for switching and t e r minal companies are not included in either the consumption or
stocks figures.
Figures for retail deliveries to other consumers include some
coal shipped by truck from mine to final destination.
Early in 1958 the Bureau of Mines issued revisions of certain
segments of the series on bituminous coal consumption and stocks
to reflect adjustments to new benchmarks based on the 1954 Census of Manufactures and of Mineral Industries. For consumption
and retail deliveries, the revisions were made available on an
annual basis from 1933 forward and monthly beginning January
1954. For stocks, the revisions were issued beginning only with
January 1957 and pertained only to the overall total, the total for
manufacturing and mining, and to the steel and rolling mills component of total manufacturing, etc., each of which was raised at
the end of January 1957 about 200,000 short tons over the old level
for that month.
Data shown in the present and 1959 volumes reflect all r e v i sions issued in early 1958 and subsequently. The 1954 revised
monthly figures for industrial consumption and retail deliveries
are available upon request.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1955 and
1956 (revised) appear in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Comparable monthly figures prior to 1955 are available
in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (as indicated at
top of p. 197 of this volume) for the following items and periods:
Bituminous coal consumed and stocks held by electric power
utilities (back to January 1945); by class I railroads (back to
January 1933; March 1933 consumption figure should read
6,030,000 short tons); by coke plants (back to January 1947).
^ Includes data for bunker fuel (not shown separately).
9 In addition to coke plants, includes data for steel and rolling
mills, cement mills, other manufacturing, and mining industries.
Beginning January 1947, prices are quoted f.o.b. car at mine
instead of on tracks, at destination. Monthly average for 1947
comparable with data in italics is $14,108.
^ ^ Data beginning 1951 are based on quotations in 11 cities; see
note 4 for this page. Monthly average for 1951 comparable with

^^ For 1953 through November 1957, data represent the
weighted average price of anthracite (stove) based on quotations
in 6 cities as follows: Baltimore, Boston, Laconia (N.H.), Madison (Wis.), Middletown (Conn.), and New York. In December
1957, pricing in Laconia (N.H.) was dropped; this change has
only a negligible effect on comparability of the data.

Data include both domestic and imported pulpwood and, be^^inning
1941, represent total receipts, consumption, and stocks at all
wood pulp mills with estimates for a few mills that do not report
regularly. For years through 1940, annual data only are available
for consumption; monthly averages are computed from those
totals. Prior to 1941, consumption data exclude mills producing
wholly defibrated, exploded, asplund fiber, and similar grades
of pulp, but it is believed that the exclusion of such mills does
not materially affect the comparability of the data. Further details as to softwood and hardwood and geographic regions are
available in the original reports.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1941-56
will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. No monthly data are
available prior to 1941,
Since the monthly data were published in the SUPPLEMEINTS
referred to above, minor revisions which were not distributed by
months were made in the annual totals for some years as indicated by note 6 for this page.
^ Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census (for the war period through August 1945, from the War Production Board). Data beginning 1941 cover all mills producing
paper and paperboard except that all 1943 data and stocks figures
for 1944 include reports from a few mills producing other products; in order to raise totals to an industry basis, estimates are
included for a few mills not reporting in some months or ^'•ears.
Monthly consumption averages computed from annual totals
for 1940 and earlier years are not exactly comparable with those
for later years due to exclusion of some mills not classified in
the industry prior to 1941. Their inclusion in 1941 raised the
total for that year by 3.5 percent (see note 1 for p. 179).
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1943-56
will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.
Monthly data are not available for years prior to 1943. Since
publication of the monthly data, revisions which were not distributed by months have been made in the annual totals for some
years as indicated by note 6 for this page.
^ Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census (from April 1942 through September 1945 based on reports
received by the War Production Board), Data represent practically complete coverage of all known pulp mills operating in the
United States (including operations in Alaska from 1954 forward).
Beginning with 1940, data for six mills not previously classified
as pulp producers were included, raising the total production
approximately 1 percent. (The 1940 monthly average production
of all grades, excluding these mills, amounted to 737,600 short
tons.) All tonnages are on a 2000-pound a i r - d r y weight basis (10
percent moisture).
Data for stocks cover, in addition to pulp mills, all known producers of paper and board and, effective January 1951, mills
outside the paper and board industry that consume wood pulp.
The coverage of these latter mills is not entirely complete but,
according to Census reports, their "consumption" accounts for
all but a small percentage of outside consumption.
Prior to 1948, data for the dissolving and special alpha grade
of pulp (a special grade of bleached sulphite and sulphate used
primarily in the manufacture of rayon, cellophane, photographic
film, plastics, explosives, etc.) are included with data for sulphite. The 1949 monthly average shown for dissolving and special alpha is based on an annual total; separate monthly figures
for 1949 for that grade are not available.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly production data
for 1945-56 will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume; monthly
data for stocks for 1953-56 appear in the 1957 and 1959 editions
of BUSINESS STATISTICS (earlier years, beginning September
1945, are available upon request). It is to be noted that, v/hile
the data shown in the 1955 and earlier editions of BUSINESS STA-
TISTICS are compiled by the United States Pulp Producers
Association, they may be compared with those in later editions
because the Association adjusted the compiled production figures
to the Bureau of the Census annual totals. In some instances the
sum of the monthly data will not agree with the total upon which
the monthly averages are based because of revisions which are
not available by months.

and exports of all grades of wood pulp. Pulpwood, rags and rag
pulp, and other paper-base stocks are not included. Data relate
to imports for consumption beginning 1934; in earlier years they
cover general imports. Tonnages of imports for all years and of

^ Source: U. S. Departnment of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, except data for 1941 through September 1945 which were
compiled from reports to the War Production Board. Figures for
most of the period beginning with 1941 are estimates of total industry output based on reports from all known operating mills
and include estimates for nonreporting mills. Figures prior to
1941 exclude operations of certain mills (approximately 25) which
before that year were not classified as producers of paper and
paperboard. The output of the additional mills included in 1941
lifted the level of total production approximately 5 percent above
the basis of data for 1940 and prior years, with most of the added
output consisting of construction paper and board.
Production data pertain to primary operations, i.e., paper and
board as it leaves the cutting, reeling, trimming, sorting, or
supercalendaring operations directly behind the machine. Patent
and clay-coated boards and paper coated on the paper machine
are considered primary products, as are building boards and
flexible paper insulation. All measurements cover finished production or machine production less machine and finishing-room
waste.
It should be noted that data for the component items as shown
in the 1957 and later volumes differ in the following respects
from data in earlier volumes: (1) Construction (building) paper,
formerly included in the total for paper, is now combined with

States. Judged by the comparison of newsprint production data
for the United States with figures published by the Bureau of the
Census, the Association's data cover between 98 and 100 percent
of total United States newsprint output for each of the years 1939

based on weekly data representing estimated industry totals
compiled by the Association from reports of member companies
accounting in recent years for approximately 88 percent of total
industry output. These reports are supplemented by estimates
for nonmember companies based on annual reports obtained by
the Association from practically all mills known to produce
paperboard.
The monthly figures (shown here and in the SURVEY) for new
orders and production are calendar-month totals computed by
the Office of Business Economics from the Association's weekly
data. Weeks falling in two months are prorated on the basis of a
6-day workweek (recognizing no holidays beginning 1957; prior
thereto the week containing July 4 was considered a 5-day workweek). Monthly percent of activity data are averages of weekly
percentages for 4 - or 5-week periods, with weeks ending on the
1st, 2d, or 3d of the month being included in the preceding
month's average. Unfilled orders are as of the end of the same
4 - or 5-week periods.
Percent of activity (i.e., percent of operating time) is computed
by the inch-hour methodi which takes into account machine widths
(based on last dryer width) and hours of operation. A 6-day week
of continuous operation (144 hours) is defined as 100-percent
activity.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1939-56,
with the exceptions noted in the next paragraph, will be found in
earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of

Data for 1948 for new orders have been adjusted to revised
production figures; those for 1950 for new orders and production
have been adjusted on the basis of a later annual production total
for that year. The resulting adjusted data for both years are
available on request. Annual totals for new orders and production have been slightly revised for 1939-50,1952,1955, and 1956; the
revisions were not distributed by months. Revisions for the
months of 1954 for production appear on p. 20 of the November
1958 SURVEY. Percent of activity data for 1939, 1940, and 1952
have been slightly revised. The revisions for the months of 1939
and 1940 are not available; those for 1952 are as follows: January, 84; February, 87; March, 86.

nonreporting companies; these current data are subsequently adjusted to final figures obtained by the Association in an annual
survey which covers a greater portion of the industry than the
weekly reports and which is supplemented by estimates for nonreporting companies. Figures measure the surface area of corrugated and solid fiber containers including area of interior
packings.
Monthly data are computed by the Office of Business Economics from the reported weekly data on the basis of 5 1/2-day
workweek (6 days prior to 1953), prorating figures for weeks
falling in 2 months (data are distributed on a 4 1/2-day basis

Beginning 1954, the data reflect an increased scrap rate (from
15 percent to 19 percent on an annual basis) to take into account
the additional scrap loss resulting from an increase in the "window" type folding paper boxes. Scrap is the difference between
the number of tons of boxboard put into the production process
and the tons of folding paper boxes actually produced.
The monthly average shipments for the base period 1947-49
amounted to 155,499 tons. The physical volume of shipments in
tons for a given month may be obtained by applying the index for
that month to the base period average.

rubber (dry, in all forms including guayule) and the dry weight
of natural latex. Gutta balata, gutta-percha, gutta-siak, and gutta-jelutong-pontianak are not included.
Consumption figures represent consumption by all rubber users. For July 1941-June 1947, consumption data are based on
complete reports. Beginning July 1947, consumption data are estimated totals based on samples representing almost the entire
industry. Earlier consumption figures are based on monthly r e ports to the Rubber Manufacturers Association, from both member and nonmember companies, adjusted to industry totals on
the basis of annual surveys of the rubber industry by the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
Stock figures relate to total industry stocks on hand and, for
the period from December 1939 through June 1947, also Government stocks. The figures beginning July 1947 represent estimated stocks available to industry, but do not include Government strategic stocks. Prior to 1941, year-end stocks were derived from annual surveys by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, and data for other months were calculated from
the year-end figures by adding imports and deducting consumption and reexports.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data prior to 1957

Data for imports of natural rubber cover crude rubber and
milk of rubber, or latex (dry rubber content), including guayule
rubber. Balata, jelutong, pontianak, gutta-percha, and other guttas are not included. Quantities are reported with no allowance
for shrinkage which was of negligible importance prior to 1943
and after 1945, but was significant in 1943-45 because of the increase in imports of nonplantation rubber which requires washing, Shrinkage was estimated by the Civilian Production Administration to reduce the 1943-46 totals by the following amounts:
1943, 8,8 percent; 1944, 5.5 percent; 1945, 6.7 percent; 1946,
1.3 percent. Reexports of rubber are comparatively small.
Monthly average reexports for 1941-60 are as follows (long

The prices cover No. 1 ribbed smoked sheets and^ beginning
with 1952J are quotation averages for one day each month (usually in the week containing the 15th). From early 1942 through
1947 the U. S. Government was the sole purchaser of natural
rubber and the price shown for that period is the Government
base selling price. This price was fixed at $0,225 in 1941 and
continued until January 13, 1947, when it was raised to $0,2575.
A free market was restored April 1, 1947, and the prices shown
for subsequent periods through June 1956 are spot market prices
at New York; beginning July 1956 daily quotation replaced spot
market price. The Government, however, continued to sell rubber at $0.2575 in April and early May 1947.

only natural rubber reclaim; thereafter, both natural and synthetic rubber reclaim. Consumption and production for April
1942-August 1945 and later production data are based on complete reports; data for the earlier period and consumption data
beginning September 1945 are based on monthly reports, representing a large proportion of the industry, adjusted to complete
coverage. Stock figures for 1941-June 1947 are calculated from
consumption, production, exports, and imports and are adjusted
periodically to reported inventories, representing complete coverage. Beginning July 1947, stocks represent estimated total
stocks based on reported figures.
Consumption and stocks prior to 1941 were based on monthly
reports to the Rubber Manufacturers Association, adjusted to
complete coverage by the Association beginning May 1938 and
by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce (on the basis
of annual surveys of the industry) for the earlier period. Annual production figures prior to 1941 were derived from changes
in stocks, amounts consumed, and amounts exported and imported; monthly figures reported to the Rubber Manufacturers
Association were adjusted to these annual totals. Information on
the coverage of the reported monthly data for individual years
prior to 1941 and the method of adjusting these data to industry
totals are given in the 1942 SUPPLEMENT in notes 1 and 12 for
p. 160.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1932-56
(except for 1932 revisions in production) will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p.
197 of this volume. (January 1950 figure for stocks should read

^ Source: Rubber Manufacturers /Association, Inc. All data
are 100-percent industry totals, based on reports from manufacturers accounting for a large proportion of the industry; esti- mates are included for nonreporting companies. The estimated industry totals were adjusted by the Association to biennial Census of Manufactures data through 1939. Since 1940, the monthly
estimates have been adjusted to reported annual totals. Figures
through 1958 for casings apply to automotive castings only; beginning Janua ry 1959, motorcycle tires are included in the data.
Data for inner tubes apply to automotive tubes and, beginning
1951, also motorcycle tubes. The figures do not include data for
solid rubber tires or pneumatic tires for motorcycles (except
as noted above), bicycles, and aviation, industrial, and agricultural equipment. Data for 1958-60 are preliminary.
Total shipments include all shipments to purchasers from factories, regional branches, and sectional warehouses (except
shipments to other tire manufacturers, i.e., intermanufacturers'
purchases) and, beginning 1944, also transfers to companyowned stores. Tires on consignment are included in shipments
at the time they are sold, and contract mileage tires at the time
they are shipped to the account or servicing point. Shipments to
factory warehouses are not included. Shipments for original
equipment represent shipments to vehicle manufacturers for
original equipment.
Export shipments are those reported by manufacturers and
cover new tires only. F r o m 1941 until the end of the war, the
Association reported lend-lease shipments as replacements instead of shipments for export, except that from late 1943 until
the end of 1945 orders placed by the Office of Economic Warfare
(formerly Foreign Economic Administration) were classified
under exports. It is stated by the Association that companies
were requested to conform to the export definition of the Government and to consider shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto
Rico as domestic business but that one or two companies r e ported shipments to those areas in exports. Inconsistencies in
data for export shipments have a bearing on the accuracy of the
figures for replacement sales, which represent total shipments
less shipments for export and for original equipment. Export
shipments as reported by the Association differ from export statistics of the U. S. Department of Commerce shown in the 7th
column of p. 184. Data from the latter source cover exports of
domestic merchandise to foreign countries (including lend-lease
shipments for pertinent periods), based on declarations of all
exporters; they include, in addition to new automotive tires, also
used and retreaded tires for the period through 1957 and motor cycle tires for the years 1952-57.
Stock figures include quantities held at factory, regional
branches, and sectional warehouses and consigned stocks, as well
as those in transit between such points, and, prior to 1944, stocks
of company-owned stores. Stocks purchased from other manufacturers are included. The change beginning 1944 in the treatment of transfers to company -owned stores (whereby these transfers were considered sales, and stocks at company -owned stores
were excluded from inventories) was made to coincide with the
control plans of the OPA Rationing Board.
During 1942, Government restrictions required vehicle manufacturers to return excess stocks and exporters to return some
stocks originally intended for shipment to foreign customers.
Dealers also made large returns of stocks to manufacturers under a Government -sponsored program. The shipments figures
are not adjusted for such returns. As a result, there are distortions in the data and it should be noted that inventories increased

January-October 1945). Data cover all known manufacturers of
glass containers but, prior to 1945, include (except for stock
figures through 1943) estimates for two small companies that
did not report. The omission of stocks of these two companies
prior to 1944 does not appreciably affect the comparability of
the stock data.
Production figures from 1945 forward include production both
for domestic use and for export; prior to 1945, some production
for export may not have been included. Shipments exclude those
for direct export; such shipments for 1953-60, respectively,
were (thous. of gross): 3,112; 2,779; 2,804; 2,966; 3,019; 2,897;
2,639; 2,114.
Beginning 1948, data for the beverage classification cover
both returnable and nonreturnable containers; prior thereto, the
figures cover returnable containers (except in 1944 when some
nonreturnable containers are included). Beer bottles comprise
both returnable and nonreturnable types.
Current data as reported to the Census Bureau include a
breakdown of production and stocks by type of container similar
to the classes shown here for shipments.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1941-56

1955-57 data for certain items. Also notice that in the 1951,
1949, and 1947 volumes, data for "fruit jars and jelly glasses"
are shown separately; they should be combined with figures for
wide-mouth containers for comparability with figures shown in
later volumes.) Revised monthly figures for production and

imports are from the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
the Census beginning May 1941 and Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce prior thereto. Imports represent imports
for consumption. The Bureau of Mines data are industry totals
based on reports covering all major gypsum producing and processing companies.
Production of crude gypsum excludes gypsum recovered as a
byproduct by chemical plants. Calcined production includes
gypsum processed from both domestic and foreign sources.
Data on gypsum products sold or used cover amounts made
from domestic, imported, and byproduct gypsum.
Uncalcined gypsum products include portland -cement retarder
and agricultural gypsum, as well as gypsum for use as filler and
for unspecified minor uses.
Quantities for industrial uses apply to plate-glass, t e r r a cotta, and pottery plasters, dental and orthopedic plasters, and
industrial molding, art, and casting plasters, etc. "All other"
building plasters include sanded and premixed perlite, plasters
sold to mixing plants, gaging and molding plasters, prepared
finishes, roof-deck plasters, miscellaneous building plasters,
and Keene's cement.

at top of. p. 197 of this volume.
^Sheathing board is included with wallboard through 1941;
thereafter, with "all other" building uses. Relatively small
quantities of laminated board and formboard are included with
wallboard through 1953; thereafter, such items are included
with "all other" building uses.

prior years. See note 2 for this page.
^Beginning with 1954, relatively small amounts of laminated
board and formboard, formerly included with wallboard, are included with "all other."
5 The 1958 quarterly average and the 1958 1st quarter total
reflect an upward adjustment to compensate for increased
carryover of March imports into April, a result of the earlier
cutoff date for tabulating import figures.

Monthly data for 1950-54 as shown in BUSINESS STATISTICS
prior to the 1959 edition include shipments of men's slipper
socks. Shipments for 1929-33 have been revised since publication of data in the 1940 and earlier volumes.
2 Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The data represent industry totals. Monthly averages for
each year (except for the most recent year) are computed from
annual totals based on reports of nearly all known cutters of
men's apparel, including those not represented in the monthly
reporting panel. The monthly estimates are based on a sample
survey of manufacturers accounting for approximately 75 p e r cent of the total output in a recent year. Since the monthly r e porting sample changes from year to year, the monthly estimates are not strictly comparable from year to year. The 1949
figures as shown here have been adjusted to include operations
of additional establishments identified in the 1950 canvas as
coming within the scope of the survey. In 1950, such establishments accounted for approximately 3 percent of total cuttings of
tailored garments and work clothing and about 4 percent of total
furnishings.
Cuttings of suits comprise both regular-weight and summerweight. Shirts, other than work shirts, comprise furnishings
made from woven fabrics designed primarily for dress, street,
business, sport, leisure, or utility wear.
The original monthly reports show average weekly cuttings
which are raised to 4 - or 5-week totals by the Office of Business
Economics and are subsequently revised to the average weekly
cuttings as published in the annual reports of the Bureau. The
5-week periods for the years 1957-60 are as follows: 1957 and
1958-^anuary, April, July, and October, and for 1958, also December; 1959 and 1960-March, June, September, and December.
It should be noted that the figures for 1953 and 1958 represent
53 reporting weeks, whereas the data for other years cover 52
weeks. The annual "Apparel Survey" report of the Bureau also
shows net value of shipments of selected apparel and includes
data on cuttings of men's and boys' clothing by type of garment,
size, and fabric.

low. H i e estimated monthly totals are obtained f r o m a selected
cut-off sample of manufacturers. Since the monthly estimates
a r e based on a different reporting panel f r o m year to year, the
monthly data are not s t r i c t l y comparable f r o m year to year.
Monthly averages (except for the most recent year) are based on
totals reported f r o m nearly a l l known manufacturers who are
classified by the Bureau in the four p r i n c i p a l women's and
m i s s e s ' outerwear industries (blouses and waists; dresses;
household apparel, including dozen-price dresses; suits, coats,
and s k i r t s ) , as w e l l as some women's and m i s s e s ' outerwear
establishments not specifically classified as such, but which manufacture the p r i n c i p a l products of the four industries mentioned.
Figures are also collected f r o m jobbers owning the materials
and employing contractors to produce the garments.
Figures for coats include cuttings of both f u r - t r i m m e d and unt r i m m e d coats (including toppers, capes, and r e v e r s i b l e coats
but excluding r a i n w e a r ) , Cuttings of dresses comprise dresses
sold at a unit p r i c e and those sold at a dozen p r i c e only; they exclude data for f i r m s engaged solely in the manufacture of aprons
and washable service appareL Data for suits exclude ski, snow,
slack, and uniform suits.
The o r i g i n a l monthly reports also show value of net shipments
of the various items by p r i c e line of establishment and cuttings
by p r i c e line of establishment and by type of fabric, as w e l l as
output of slips and of sweaters.
Monthly data (1954-56) and quarterly data (1950-53) w i l l be

20o A final report on total ginnings f r o m the crop grown in the
preceding year is issued in May. Total ginnings for the season are given in both running bales and equivalent 500-pound
bales (gross weight). The latter figures a r e derived f r o m r e ported ginnings in running bales.
The Consolidated Cotton Report (issued by the Bureau of the
Census and the A g r i c u l t u r a l Marketmg Service of the U. So Department of A g r i c u l t u r e , August to December inclusive) gives
estimated total production in 500-pound gross bales; these e s t i mates are published in the SURVEY u n t i l total ginnings, converted to equivalent 500-pound bales, become available in
March. As the weight of the running bale varies for different
localities, as w e l l as (to a lesser degree) f r o m year to year
(see note 5 for mis page), runnmg bales are converted to bales
of u n i f o r m weight m order to measure m o r e accurately the size
of the cotton crop. F r i o r to 1945, bale weights for about half of
the cotton crop were obtamed t r o m local weighers, merchants,
and other handlers ot cotton. Beginning 1945, two reports on
bale weights have usually been collected t r o m the ginners d u r ing the season ( f o r cotton ginned p r i o r to November 1 and f o r
cotton ginned November 1 and later) f o r a sample of ginnings.
On the basis of these reports, weighted average gross weight of
running bales and the number of equivalent 500-pound bales are
computed tor each county and State and used to convert running
bales to equivalent 500-pounds gross weight. County totals are
added to obtain State and United States totals „
Monthly figures represent cumulative ginnings as of the end
of the month specified (except that the December 13 period is
given here as of the end of December) for the cotton -ginning
season; the March figure covers total ginnings from the crop
grown in the preceding year. Annual figures (shown on
"monthly average" lines) represent total production (i,e,, ginnings) from the crop grown in the year shown.
Annual figures beginning 1913 and monthly data prior to 1957
for ginnings in running bales for selected reporting dates will be
found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated
at top of p. 197 of this volume. (Revisions for the periods to
end of November 1950 and to December 13, 1950, respectively,
8,786,000 and 9,180,000 running bales.) Figures for county

when it is opened at the mill. Beginning 1950, data are for 4and 5-week periods; earlier data are for calendar months. The
5-week periods for the years 1957-60 are as follows: 1957 and
1958~January, April, July, October, and for 1958, also December;
1959 and 1960-March, June, September, and December,

In the original reports, exports are given in detail by countries of destination, and imports by countries of origin. Imports
represent imports for consumption (prior to 1934, general i m ports) ; exports are exclusive of reexports and are expressed in
running bales. Beginning 1947, data include shipments under the
Army Civilian Supply Program (not previously available); such
shipments amounted to 30,395 bales in 1947.
The import figures shown here, covering the period beginning
with 1946, are in bales of 480 pounds net weight (equivalent to
500 pounds gross weight); earlier figures are in bales of 478
pounds net (equivalent to 500 pounds gross). In the 1942 SUPPLEMENT and previous issues, the data are in bales of 500
pounds "net" weight (see paragraph below for conversion factor).
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1929-56
(with exceptions mentioned below) will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of
this volume. Scattered monthly revisions for exports (1940) and
imports (1948) are in the corresponding note in the 1957 and
1955 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Revisions for 1954 are
as follows (bales): Exports (December), 496,665; imports (November) , 6,898. Data for imports for 1940 and earlier years (as
published in the 1942 and prior volumes) should be converted to
500-pound gross weight bales (by multiplying by 1.046) to have
figures comparable with those shown here.
^Source: U. S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural M a r keting Service (Crop Reporting Board). In computing the monthly
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. The
average prices received are for American upland (short staple)
cotton and reflect open-market prices. The most current prices
are generally for the first 2 weeks of the month, but are subsequently revised to represent the average for the month.
Annual averages beginning 1942 are unweighted averages of
calendar-month prices; annual figures for 1939-41 are weighted
crop-year average prices.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for farm
prices for 1934-July 1937 and for 1941-56 are in earlier editions
of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this
volume. Note that prices received in 1929-35, as well as those
for all other periods covered in BUSINESS STATISTICS prior to
the 1953 issue, reflect sales of small quantities of AmericanEgyptian and Sea Island (long staple) cotton. However, the price
"averages" including and excluding long staple cotton are identical except in a few scattered months, when the difference is
very minor. (Revised figure for May 1936, $0,114.) Monthly
figures for August 1937-December 1940, (revised since publication of the 1942 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS) are given in a
note on p. S-35 of the June 1944 SURVEY. Monthly data for
August 1909-July 1936 are available in the January 1946 issue
of "Crops and Markets" published by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
The spot market price, beginning August 1951, represents the
average price of middling 1 -inch American cotton computed from
official daily quotations of cotton exchanges in southern markets.
For the period August 1951-July 1954, the following markets are
represented: Charleston (this market was substituted for Norfolk beginning August 6, 1941), Augusta, Atlanta (substituted for
Savannah beginning December 4, 1950), Montgomery, New O r leans, Memphis, Little Rock, Dallas, Houston, and Galveston.
Effective August 1954, the Department of Agriculture began publishing the average spot price in 14 spot markets. (The four
additional markets are Lubbock, Texas; Fresno, California;
Greenville, South Carolina; and Greenwood, Mississippi. There
is no significant break in comparability due to the expanded
number of markets.) For the period 1939-50, prices are as
quoted on middling 15/16-inch, based on 10 markets. (For the
period August-December 1951, the price of middling 1-inch cotton was 0.4 cents per pound higher than middling 15/16-inch.)
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for spot m a r ket prices for 1953-56 for the current series and for 1938-52 for
middling 15/16-inch w i l l be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.

mills in delinting cottonseed. The quantity of linters obtained
from a ton of cottonseeti varies. In recent years, the average
quantity obtained has varied as follows (years ended July 31):
1957 and 1958 (net weight) , 1 8 1 and 176 pounds; for both 1959
and 1960 (gross weight), 181 pounds.
Beginning August 1958, figures for consumption of linters are
for 4- and 5-week periods. The 5-week periods for the years
1958-60 are as follows: 195&-October and December; 1959-60—
March, June, September, and December. Production and consumption figures (through July 1958 for the latter) are for calendar months. (The note appearing in the 1955 and 1953 issues
of BUSINESS STATISTICS, stating that beginning 1950 the
monthly data cover either 4- and 5-week periods, is incorrect.)
Figures beginning August 1958 for production of linters and for
that part of stocks "at oil mills" are in thousands of equivalent
600-pound bales; earlier data are in thousands of running bales.
(August 1958 data comparable with figures shown through July
1958 are as follows: Production, 43,000 bales; total stocks, 682r
000 bales.)
Production figures are based on reports from cottonseed -oil
mills only; excluded are small quantities of linters obtained
from planting seed at gins and other delinting plants. For the
1959-60 season, the linters data have been revised to include 8O7
000 bales consumed by coEapanies not previously included in the
monthly survey.
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.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1938-56

^Source: U, S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Data for 1939, 1947, and 1954 are from the Census of
Manufactures; data for certain periods were compiled from r e ports to the Civilian Production Administration and predecessor
agencies. Statistics are from reports filed by manufacturers
primarily engaged in weaving fabrics over 12 inches in width of
cotton, silk, rayon, and other synthetic fiber yarns. All such
manufacturers were canvassed and estimates were made for a
few manufacturers not filing reports. Production of tire cord
and fabric is excluded. Production is that taken from the looms.
Effective with 1951, the production of broad woven mixed goods
has been classified, by fabric, according to chief fiber content by
weight. Prior to 1951, no fabric containing as much as 25 per-*
cent wool by weight was classified as cotton fabric. In the 1st
quarter of 1951, however, less than one-half of 1 percent of the
total cotton cloth was produced on woolen and worsted looms.
The original reports show production by type of goods for
print-cloth yarn fabrics, sheeting and allied coarse and medium
yarn fabrics, fine cotton fabrics, colored yarn fabrics, and other
classes, by type of fabric for these goods.
The quarterly data cover 13-week periods (except for the 4th
quarter of 1958 which represents 14 weeks).
Quarterly data for 1942-56 will be found in earlier editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. (Data for the first 3 quarters of 1942 were estimated in
part from reports on scheduled rather than actual production.)

The data represent industry estimates and are based on reports
from manufacturers whose production represents approximately
75 percent of the total industry.
TTie figures are expressed in terms of number of weeks'
equivalent current production. They are not adjusted for seasonal variations, including those resulting from holidays, vacation periods, etc. Thus, high ratios in certain months, such as
July and December, are largely because of seasonally low production schedules.
The original reports also show "committed production", i.e.,
the difference between the unfilled orders ratio and the inven tories ratio, as well as monthly indexes of production and of inventories.

fabrics, cotton chief weight), duck and tire fabric (except tire
cord fabric as noted below), both unfinished (in the gray) and
finished (bleached, dyed, printed, stiffened or otherwise converted) . Beginning January 1958, data exclude exports of tire
cord fabrics; such exports totaled 2,237,000 square yards in
1957 and 2,438,000 square yards in 1956. Beginning 1947, exports include shipments under the Army Civilian Supply Program (not previously available); such shipments for that
year amounted to 12,016,000 square yards.
Imports comprise cotton cloth, both unfinished and finished.

eludes all manufacturing costs other than raw cotton, and the
manufacturer's profit. The cloth prices used in computing m i l l
margins are averages of spot wholesale prices obtained from
trade publications for 20 gray goods constructions (7 print
cloths, 4 sheetings, 2 drills, 2 carded broadcloths, 3 twills, and
2 ducks). Unfinished or gray goods refers to cloth that has not
been bleached, dyed, or printed. Prices, quoted on a per-yard
basis, have been converted to a price per pound on the basis of
the approximate value of each cloth obtainable from a pound of
cotton, with adjustment for m i l l waste, salable waste, and non~
cotton content of cloth. The prices used for raw cotton are for
the average quality of cotton used in each kind of cloth. The
average margin for the 20 constructions is unweighted.
There have been two major revisions in the m i l l margins
series. The present calculations (for data back to August 1954)
are designed to improve the representativeness of m i l l margins:
(1) By revised and expanded selection of types of cloth (in the cloth
price component) for more widely produced cloths, and (2) the raw
cotton price component (derived from monthly average prices
for cotton in even-running lots, prompt shipment, delivered at
Group 201, Group B, m i l l points including landing costs and brokerage ) has been expanded to reflect prices for four growths
of cotton (Southeastern, Memphis territory, Texas-Oklahoma,
and California growths) with equal weight being given to each.
The original revision (for data back to August 1950) shifted the
basis of the raw cotton price component,to "landed" prices for
Memphis territory growths from a "spot" price basis.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1936-56

corresponding note, p. 327, of the 1959 edition of BUSINESS
STATISTICS. Figures for September 1944-December 1946, published in the 1947 and 1949 volumes, have been slightly revised
to incorporate new prices for twill and sateen constructions
which were previously included at Office of Price Administra tion ceiling prices. Monthly data for August 1925-July 1939 are
shown in table 51, p. 18 of the November 1939 SURVEY.

buyer in large volume, except for denim cloth for which quotations are "manufacturer to jobber or cutter."
Data for 1939-46 (1939-50 for sheeting) cover prices of cloth
described as follows: Denim—blue, white-backed, 28-inch, 2.20
yards per pound, unsanforized ( m i l l finish); print cloth—38-1/2inch, 64 by 60, 5.35 yards per pound (except for 1944-45 when
prices relate to print cloth, 64 by 56, 5.50 yards to a pound as
indicated in note 13 for this page); sheeting—36-inch, 56 by 60,
4 yards per pound, unbleach^, unmercerized (except for the
1944-46 period when prices relate to 56 by 56 sheeting as indicated in note 14). Production of 56 by 60 sheeting and 64 x 60
print cloth was discontinued during the war period by War Production Board order, effective April 20, 1943, and looms formerly producing these constructions were required to produce
56 X 56 sheeting and 64 x 56 print cloth, respectively. Monthly
average prices for 1947 for denim and print cloth and 1951 for
sheeting (comparable with the series described in this paragraph) are 33.8 cents, 24.6 cents, and 23.0 cents, respectively.
Through 1951, the data are averages of weekly quotations (for
1 day each week). Thereafter, they are based on quotations for
1 day each month (usually around the 15th).
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1949-56

print cloth and sheeting series (1929-48) and for the former
denim series (1938-48), described in foregoing paragraph, are

sions of 1 or 2 cents have been made in a few monthly figures
for the years 1926-31. Note that the specifications for the current denim series(10 oz./sq. yd.) reflect no change in product

1 Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Data prior to 1947 were compiled from reports to the C i vilian Production Administration and predecessor agencies.
The figures represent the entire production of broadwoven fabrics (over 12" in width) of manmade fibers, both cellulosic and
noncellulosic, and of silk and silk mixtures. In addition to items
shown separately, total production of manmade fiber fabrics includes broadwoven fabrics of textile glass fiber (beginning 2d
quarter 1944), of saran and polyethylene filament yarn, acrylic,
and polyester fibers, and of twisted paper yarn_(beginning 1954),
etc. Quarterly figures include estimates for a few companies
reporting on an annual basis. The quarterly data cover 13-week
periods (except 4th quarter 1958 which represents 14 weeks).
Beginning 1951, all broadwoven goods are classified according
to principal fiber content. Rayon and acetate goods are defined
as those containing 51 percent or more rayon and/or acetate by
weight. Figures prior to 1951 exclude rayon fabrics containing
25 percent (or more) wool. (Figures for 1950 exclude 43,799,000 yards of fabric—containing less than 25 percent wool—proluced on woolen and worsted looms. No breakdown is available
:o show quantities that are cotton or chiefly cotton, or rayon or
:hiefly rayon. For 1950, however, production includes 19,896,)00 yards of fabric-25 percent or more wool—made in rayon
nills. The majority of these fabrics contain less than.50 percent
vool.) Fabric production beginning 1951 includes yardage of r a ^on and acetate fabrics (amounting to 8 million yards in 1951)
ind other synthetic fabrics (21 million yards in 1951) produced
)n woolen and worsted looms.
Nylon production beginning 1953, as shown here, comprises
fabrics of 100-percent nylon and of nylon mixtures (chiefly
nylon); for 1952 and earlier years, 100-percent nylon fabric only.
In 1953, mixtures (chiefly nylon) amounted to 18.3 million linear
/ards. Beginning 1957, figures for nylon goods exclude production of nylon blanketing (included prior to 1957); such production
in 1957 amounted to approximately 2 percent of total nylon and
nylon mixtures fabrics.
Silk fabric statistics beginning 1946 represent fabric of 100percent silk and mixtures over 51 percent silk. Production in the
1939-45 period refers to fabric of 100-percent silk (small quantities of silk mixtures are excluded).
Production is that taken from the looms and is measured in
linear yards of varying widths over 12 inches. From 1947 to
1958, the average width of manmade fiber and silk broadwoven
fabrics increased 11 percent. It was about the beginning of this
period that the noncellulosic manmade fiber fabrics came into
production; as a group, these fabrics are lighter than rayon and
acetate fabrics. In 1958, silk and noncellulosic manmade fiber
fabrics averaged 5.83 square yards to the pound and rayon and
acetate fabrics averaged 3.80 square yards to the pound. The
original reports show production by type of fabric; yarn consumed by type of yarn; machinery activity (number of looms in
place, and aggregate hours operated); and stocks of selected
filament yarns at mills.
Quarterly data for 1953-56 for total manmade fiber fabric, nylon, and silk fabric production are in the 1959 and 1957 editions
of BUSINESS STATISTICS; quarterly data for 1944-52 are available upon request. Quarterly data for the 2d half of 1943 through
1952 for rayon and acetate goods are in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.

^Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census (from Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through
April 1941). Silk imports are for unmanufactured silk, comprising raw silk in skeins, wild or tussah and doupion, cocoons,
silk noils (not exceeding 2 inches in length), and silk waste.
Data are imports for consumption. For definitions and other
pertinent foreign trade information, see note 1 for p» 106.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1923-56
are in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated
at top of p. 197 of this volume. (Note that data prior to 1934
are general imports.)
^Source: LJ. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Prices beginning 1948 are for raw silk, white, Japanese,
in bales, 20/22 denier, 87 percent ( A A ) , importer or dealer to
manufacturer or converter, f.o.b. warehouse; for 1947, specifications are for 85 percent ( A ) . For average prices prior to
1947, the description is as follows: Silk, raw, white, Japanese,
double extra crack, 13/15 denier, 78 percent. New YorK. The
overlapping average for 1947 (based on 10 months), comparable
with prices shown through 1946, is ^4.434 per pound. Prices for
the period 1939 through July 1941 are from a trade organization.
F r o m August 1941 through May 1942 prices represent ceilings
established by CPA and predecessor agencies. A l l stocks of
silk were taken over by the Defense Supplies Corporation in July
1941. Prices are not available for the period from June 1942 to
June 1946, since silk was not sold for commercial use. When
silk imports from Japan were resumed after the war, the U. S.
Commercial Company (RFC) was the exclusive selling agent of
Japanese silk. Prices for 1946 represent selling prices of U. S.
Commercial Company; in July and August of 1946, prices were
on a bid basis and for the balance of the year were auction
prices.
Beginning with 1952, the prices a r e based on quotations for 1
day each raonth (usually around the 15th). Prior thereto, they
are averages of quotations for 1 day each week.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1923-56
(except for the period 1942-49) are in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.
Note that monthly prices for 1947-49 (as shown in the 1951 and
1953 editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS) are for the forn>er series, 13/15 denier. Monthly prices for 1947-49 for the 20/22
denier series are available upon request.
^Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Data cover total raw wool m i l l consumption (wool of the
sheep) on the woolen spinning and worsted combing systems
and, prior to 1946, also consumption by all other known manufacturers, including consumption in batting and felt manufactures and on the cotton, silk, etc., systems of spinning. Total raw
wool consumed on the cotton system of spinning for the years
1957-60 was as follows (in millions of pounds, scoured basis):
1957, 1.6; 1958, 2.5 (revised); 1959, 6.1; 1960, 4.7. Manufacturers of felt, hat bodies, and other miscellaneous products consumed approximately 7.8 million pounds in 1946. Estimates are
included for a few manufacturers from whom reports were not
received. The 1946 figures originally published also included
data for all known manufacturers using wool. They have been
revised to cover consumption on the woolen and worsted system
only, so that data will be comparable with figures compiled since
the early part of 1947. Total consumption for the year 1946, including all known manufacturers and comparable with earlier
data, was 620,241,000 pounds for the apparel class and 128,056,000 pounds for the carpet class. It may be noted that consumption on the woolen and worsted systems accounted for 98.3 percent of total consumption of apparel wool in 1946 and practically
the entire consumption of carpet wool.
apparel wool comprises wool generally regarded as more or
less suitable for apparel purposes, whereas carpet wool is foreign wool particularly suitable for the manufacture of floor coverings. Beginning 1942, all domestic and duty-paid foreign
wools have been classified as apparel and all free foreign wools
as carpet. Apparel wool not finer than 40's and all carpet wool

SURVEY. Monthly prices for the territory wool (1913-38), the
bright fleece on clean basis (1924-48), and the Australian wool
(1929-40) are available upon request.
2 Source: U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Through 1951, the index is computed from price quotations
for 1 day a week; thereafter, from quotations for 1 day a month
(usually around the 15th). Specifications in detail are as follows: Worsted yarn, Bradford system, machine knitting, 2/20s50s/56s, undyed, in oil, on skeins, manufacturers' prices to manufacturers, f.o.b. mill.
Monthly data for 1947-56 are shown on p. S-38 of the March
1958 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS; monthly dollar prices
for 1949-56 are in the 1957 and earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.
3 Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Data beginning 1948 represent totals for the industry; the
quarterly data include estimates for those companies reporting
only on an annual basis. Data prior to 1948 are based on r e ports of manufacturers which account for 98 percent or more of
the total production of woolen and worsted woven goods and include estimates for a few manufacturers from which reports
were not received. H i e quarterly data are for 13 weeks, except
that the 4th quarter of 1958 covers 14 weeks. The quarterly averages for 1939 are based on annual totals from reports of the
Census of Manufactures. Beginning 1951, the production of
broadwoven goods is classified according to principal fiber content by weight. The figures beginning 1951 therefore exclude
fabrics containing 25.0-49.9 percent wool which were previously
included. For the men's and women's categories, however, such
fabrics were excluded beginning 1948.
Quarterly data for 1942-56 will be found in earlier editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.
"^For the period 1948 through 1950, data for "total apparel
fabrics, excluding Government orders" include production by
cotton and rayon weavers not distributed to the separate classifications.
5 Yardage is in 54-to-60-inch widths or equivalent 54-inch
linear yard measure for fabrics other than blankets and a 11inch linear yard measure, or equivalent, for blankets. The 1939
data were reported in square yards but have been converted to
these equivalent linear yards.
^ Source: U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Through 1951, the index is computed from price quotations
for 1 day a week; thereafter, from quotations for 1 day a month
(usually around the 15th). More complete specifications for the
series are as follows: Woolen flannel suiting—men's and boys',
stock dyed, 11 1/2-12 oz./yd., fine and medium grade, 58"/60",
manufacturers' prices to cutters, f.o.b. mill; worsted gabardine or crepe suiting—women's and children's, 10 1/2-12 1/2
oz./yd., 56"/60", manufacturers' prices to cutters, f.o.b mill.
(For the period shown here, the ranges of weight per yard and
width of fabric have varied; however, the index is adjusted to
form a continuous and comparable series.)
Monthly data for 1947-56 are shown in earlier editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. Earlier indexes for these constructions are not available.
7 Data for woolen and worsted woven goods are quarterly
averages.
® Average for 7 months, June-December; see note 1 for this
page.
9Beginning 1951, figures exclude production of fabrics containing 25.0-49.9 percent wool. See note 3 for this page.
Quarterly average based on production for 53 weeks; averages for other years are based on totals for 52 weeks.
Represents production for 14 weeks; data for other quarters are for 13 weeks.

1958 (pric»r thereto, Bureau of the Census and Civil Aeronautics
Admini str a tion).
The data are based on reports from all companies active in
manufacturing complete aircraft, aircraft engines, and aircraft
propellers. Whereas the figuires include parts for these components made by these companies, the data do not include operations
of companies which manufacture only parts and accessories. The
figures (except for backlog of military orders) comprise orders
and sales for both civilian and U. S. military customers and include other miscellaneous products and services. The value of
backlog for the military, shown here, covers only complete a i r craft, engines, and propellers.
Net new orders represent new orders received during a given
period less terminations during the same period. There is some
duplication in the new orders, sales, and backlog figures shown
here because, for the data included for manufacturers of complete aircraft and parts, the value of subcontracts is reported
both by the prime contractor and the subcontractor, if both are
airframe producers. As measured by major subcontracts let by
airframe producers to other airframe producers, the duplication
in the value of backlog of orders for complete aircraft and parts
has averaged less than 3 percent of total backlog in recent
years.
In the original reports, value of sales and orders is shown
separately for complete aircraft, aircraft engines, and aircraft
propellers by type of customer.
Data prior to 1948 are not available. Quarterly figures for
1948-56, comparable with quarterly averages for corresponding
years shown herein, are published in the 1959 and 1957 editions
of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see p. 325 of the 1957 edition).
2 Sources: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census and Federal Aviation Agency for data beginning December
1958 (prior thereto. Bureau of the Census and Civil Aeronautics
Administration). Data are shipments (both domestic and export)
as reported by all plants active in the manufacture of complete
civilian aircraft (i.e., including engines). For 1957 and 1958,
reports were received from 20 plants and for 1959 and 1960, 23
plants. Shipments for 1945 (in terms of airframe weight) are
as reported by CAA.
Figures for value of production of aircraft prior to 1946 (as
compiled by CAA) include value of engines, parts, parachutes,
etc., and are available in the "Statistical Handbook of Civil Aviation," 1950 edition.
Monthly data for 1953-56 are in the 1959 and 1957 editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS; monthly data for 1946-52 for airframe
weight and 1951-52 for value of shipments are available upon
request. Monthly data for 1947-50 for dollar shipments may be
obtained from the original reports, "Complete Aircraft and
Aircraft Engines."
Monthly data for 1930-45 for aircraft production (shown in
terms of number of aircraft) w i l l be found in earlier editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. The published monthly data for 1940 have been revised
and are available upon request.
^Source: U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census (from Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through
April 1941), Data represent the value of airplanes actually exported with no consideration given to date of production.
The data for a l l periods exclude gliders and lighter-than-air
aircraft. Beginning 1950, the data represent exports of commercial and civilian aircraft and exclude exports of all m i l i tary-type aircraft (i.e., manufactured to military specifications,
even when intended for commercial or civilian use). Exports of
military-type aircraft are included through 1949. Figures beginning May 1949 exclude "special category" exports not shown
separately for security reasons. Beginning 1952, exports include used and rebuilt (demilitarized) aircraft, formerly classified as "special category" and therefore excluded from the
total. The data for the period 1954-57 include exports of new
commercial cargo transports. Exports of the latter type are
excluded from the figures prior to 1954 and beginning 1958; one
transport of this type, valued at $1.4 million, was exported in
1957.

1961 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SUR^/EY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
part a substantial increase in Defense Department procurement
Ln that year of small-capacity trailers of special construction.
VIoreover, the increased output in 1942 and years immediately
following is attributable in large measure to production for m i l i tary use (for the available figures for this period, see the 1947
SUPPLEMENT).
The data through 1957 for "complete trailers" include only
those trailers produced in entirety (i.e., body and chassis) by the
reporting plant; the output of plants which purchased the chassis
and added the body is excluded. Beginning with 1958, however,
the data for "complete trailers" cover all complete trailers, including those for which separate chassis are purchased.
The total for "complete trailers" includes, in addition to vans,
production of the following types: Tank; pole and logging; platform; low-bed heavy haulers; dump trailers; auto transport; public utility trailers; converter dollies; and hoppers. Chassis and
v^an bodies, for sale separately, include trailer chassis, dump
trailer chassis, and (beginning January 1959) detachable trailer
van bodies, for sale separately. Figures for October and November 1960 exclude production of detachable trailer van bodies,
data for which are not available for publication due to disclosure
•f operations of individual firms.
The monthly figures are estimated totals based on a sample of
reporters which account for most of the total output of truck
trailers. Estimates are made each month for the remaining
plants from which figures are collected on an annual basis. Some
changes have been made in the reporting specifications for truck
trailers, although such changes have not appreciably affected
comparability of the data. For example, effective with 1952 the
reporting specifications were changed to "truck trailers having
one or more axles with a rating of 10,000 pounds or more per
axle"; prior thereto, data were collected for "truck trailers with
a rated capacity of 5 tons or more."
Monthly data for 1945-56 will be found in earlier editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume. Note that figures for chassis sold separately (1955-56) can
be derived by subtracting the figures for total complete trailers
from total production as shown in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS
STATISTICS. Monthly data for January 1942-June 1945 are available separately for civilian, military, and total production in the
1947 volume.
4 Source: R. L . Polk & Company (except for the period March
1942 through December 1945). Data represent the number of new
passenger and commercial cars registered each month and cover
all States and the District of Columbia; note that beginning January 1958, the figures reflect new registrations in Alaska and, beginning January 1959, also, new registrations in Hawaii.
The figures through 1939 for commercial cars and through
1940 for passenger cars include deliveries to the Federal Government which are excluded thereafter (except for nonmilitary
Federal Government vehicles reported to the compilers by the
manufacturers). For 1940, the number of commercial cars delivered to the Federal Government, as reported by the compiling
agency, averaged 1,430 cars per month. Deliveries of passenger
cars to the Government were small prior to 1941 and were not
reported separately. The original reports of R. L. Polk & Company show the statistics by make of car and by States.
Data for the period March 1942 through July 1945 are from the
Office of Price Administration for passenger cars and from the
War Production Board and the Office of Defense Transportation
for commercial cars. For this period, the data represent r a tioned deliveries of cars to civilian users. Data from August
through December 1945 are estimates by the Automobile Manufacturers Association. The large excess of new registrations of
passenger cars over factory sales during the war period is accounted for by the stocks of cars in the*hands of manufacturers,
dealers, and distributors on January 1, 1942, which were taken
over by the Government and released for essential uses only.
The War Production Board estimated that on January 1, 1942, the
industry's stocks of new passenger cars in all hands totaled about
538,000.
For some years, the monthly averages shown in this volume
are based on annual totals which include adjustments not incorporated in the monthly data.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1932-56
(except as noted below) will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197 of this volume.
Revisions for passenger car registrations are as follows (number): 1952~November, 360,256; 1954-January-December, r e spectively, 340,698; 369,592; 480,731; 508,102; 520,958; 596,719;
474,316; 440,312; 407,844; 389,352; 378,513; 628,327; 1955-January-December, respectively, 440,024; 476,254; 636,457; 627,636;
660,161; 679,097; 645,391; 652,300; 651,808; 572,640; 503,286;
624,854. The 1940 figures for commercial cars shown in the
1942 edition include Federal Government deliveries and, therefore, differ from the 1940 monthly average in this volume. Also,
for truck registrations, revisions have been made for 1938 and
for the period 1954-56; the figure for November 1952 should
read 70,431 trucks. E a r l i e r data for passenger car registrations appear on p. 19 of the August 1933 SURVEY; monthly data
for 1925-31 for commercial cars are available upon request.
^ Source: American Railway Car Institute. The data, reported
to the Institute by its members and others, cover all freight car
builders (both equipment manufacturers and railroad and privateline shops).
The figures pertain to all types of freight cars for railroads,
private carlines and industries, and governmental customers
(including cars for export). The railroad and private-line shop
data, however, apply to freight cars for domestic use only.
The figures for new orders represent net new orders, i.e., adjusted for cancellations; data for backlog are not similarly adjusted.
Monthly averages prior to 1939 and monthly data for 1945-56
(1953-56 for orders—see revisions below) are shown in earlier
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS as indicated at top of p. 197
of this volume. November 1955 revised new orders data are as
follows (number of cars): Total, 44,323; equipment manufacturers, 16,803; railroad shops, 27,520. Monthly data are available upon request as follows: New orders, 1941-52 (except data
for f o r e i ^ orders, 1943-52); unfilled orders, 1943-52. For
monthly figures for 1932-44 for shipments, by equipment manufacturers only, see earlier volumes referred to in above-mentioned note. Revisions for 1939 freight car shipments are in the
corresponding note in the 1957, 1955, and 1953 editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS.
^ Figures exclude production for military use. They also exclude "chassis shipped as such" as in succeeding periods.
^Average for 4 months, September-December.
^ Beginning July 1949, data exclude "special category" exports
not shown separately for security reasons. Beginning 1952, exports for all motor vehicles (including passenger cars) exclude
all military types.
9 Beginning January 1958, the data include exports of used special purpose vehicles. In earlier years, exports of these standard-type autos, trucks, and buses (so altered that they do not
meet standard competitive specifications) are excluded. (See 2d
paragraph of note 1 for this page.)
Beginning January 1958, data include complete trailers r e ported by manufacturers who purchased the chassis and added the
body; prior to 1958, such assemblies are excluded.
Beginning January 1958 and January 1959, respectively, the
figures include new registrations in Alaska and in Hawaii; data
for earlier periods exclude these States.
12 Beginning January 1959, the figures include production of
detachable van bodies, not included in earlier data. In 1958 and
1959, production of these types averaged 165 and 260 units per
month, respectively.
i^Data for one State are incomplete.
i ^ F o r October and November 1960, production of detachable
trailer van bodies is not included because of disclosure of operations for individual companies (for 10 months in 1960, such production averaged 271 units per month).
