FOREWORD
Business Statistics 1977, the twenty-first biennial edition,
presents the historical data for approximately 2,500 series
that appear in the S-pages of the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS, published monthly by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis.
Data are shown on an annual basis for the years 1947-76,
quarterly for the years 1966-76, and monthly for the years
1973-76. Explanatory notes are provided for each of the
series in a separate section. The pages of this section are
numbered to correspond to the statistical tables.
The appendix to this volume provides monthly or quarterly
data for earlier periods for over 400 of the more important
series. In the regular statistical tables, these series are marked
with a star in the box heading; page references to the appendix
are given at the foot of the tables. Earlier monthly or
quarterly data for series not in the appendix are in previous
editions of Business Statistics, of which only the 1975 edition
is still in print. Copies can be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,
Washington, D.C. 20402, or through most district offices of
the U.S. Department of Commerce. Reference copies of outof-print editions are in the U.S. Department of Commerce
district offices, as well as major libraries throughout the
Nation.
Sincere appreciation is expressed for the generous cooperation and assistance of the many agencies, private and Government, that have contributed to this volume and to the monthly
SURVEY. Contributing organizations are listed on page 181 -182.
This volume was prepared in BEA's Current Business
Analysis Division, under the general direction of Leo V.
Barry, Jr., Chief of the Statistical Series Branch. Associates
who deserve special acknowledgment for their efforts are:
Bernice A. Bowman, Duhurst Hood, Rita M. Quick, Fred
von Batchelder, and Wayne R. Webster.

ilysis. "Gross national product" is the market value of the goods and
dees produced by the labor and property supplied by residents of
United States, before deduction of depreciation charges and other
iwances for business and institutional consumption of capital goods,
ler business products used up by business are deducted. Gross
ional product comprises the purchase of goods and services by
isumers and government, poss private domestic investment (includthe change in business inventories), and net exports (exports less
5orts). Beginning 1960, the estimates include data for Alaska and
wail.
"Personal consumption expenditures" is goods and services purised by individuals and nonprofit institutions and the value of food,
thing, rental of dwellings and financial services received in kind by
ividuals. All private purchases of dwellings are classified as gross
vate domestic investment.
Personal consumption expenditures for goods as well as services are
imated for benchmark years as final demand components of the
mt-Output Table. For goods, the basic data are: Product shipment
ues reported in the census of manufactures; nonmanufactured foods
1 fuels, derived from censuses of agriculture and mineral industries;
ports, including transportation costs, insurance, and duties; and
inges in wholesalers' and retailers* inventories. The available supply is
portioned at producers' values among intermediate uses, investment,
ports, government purchases, and personal consumption expenditures.
• the derived consumption expenditures at producers' value are added
imates of transportation costs, wholesale and retail margins, and sales
tes, based principally on Interstate Commerce Commission, census of
siness, and Internal Revenue Service data.
Estimates of consumption expenditures for goods for years between
d beyond benchmarks and quarterly consumption expenditures
[imates rest chiefly on the trends shown by the Census Bureau's retail
les figures by kind of store; quantity series and price information (for
ch items as autos, gasoline, and cigarettes); and other data from
vernment and nongovernment sources.
Periodic comprehensive sources, notably the censuses of population
id housing, business, and agriculture, provide underlying data for
ace rental values, personal services, repair services, and other comments that together constitute about half of the dollar value of
msumer services. This information is supplemented by comprehensive
inual reports of government agencies, such as the Office of Education
r private higher education outlays, the Federal Communications
smmission for telephone service, the Interstate Commerce Commisjn for railroad and bus travel, the Civil Aeronautics Board for air
avel, and the Internal Revenue Service for data on physician, lawyer,
id other professional services. Important use is made also of annual
ita available from private sources such as the American Council of
ife Insurance and Bests Fire and Casualty Yearbook for insurance items,
le American Hospital Association for hospital services, the Edison
lectric Institute and the American Gas Association for electric and gas
tilities, the American Transit Association for outlays for local transDrtation, and the New York Stock Exchange for brokerage fees.




Similar source data, though much less detailed in scope, together
with data from the Census Monthly Selected Services Receipts, are used
to derive the quarterly estimates of consumer expenditures for services.
"Gross private domestic investment" is fixed capital goods purchased
by private business and nonprofit institutions, and the change in
business inventories. The former include all private purchases of dwellings
whether purchased for tenant or owner occupancy.
The "structures" component of fixed capital goods is derived from
figures for total private new construction compiled by the Bureau of
the Census (see pp. 52 and 53), estimated construction and exploration
expenditures for petroleum and natural-gas drilling and mine shafts,
commissions on the sale of structures, and net transfers of used structures
from (or to) government. The petroleum and natural-gas drilling and
exploration and mine shafts series are benchmarked to data collected in
the censuses of minerals industries. The annual estimates that are tied
to these benchmarks are developed mainly from figures on the total
drilling footage as reported in trade sources adjusted for changes in
costs.
The estimate of the "producers durable equipment" component of
fixed capital is based on the input-output technique outlined in the
section on personal consumption expenditures, and on the BEA Plant
and Equipment Survey (see pp. 12-15).
For the years 1929-39, 1947, 1954, 1958, 1963, 1967, and 1972,
data available from the Censuses of Manufactures made it possible
to carry out the input-output technique of estimating purchases of
producers' durable equipment in greater detail than was possible in
other years. "Secondary" benchmark estimates were developed for
1950-53, 1955-57, 1959-62, 1964-66,1968-71, and 1973-75, primarily
from data collected by the Bureau of the Census in its annual sample
survey of manufactures. Quarterly estimates for most of the period
ending 1958 were interpolated by a series based on the New Plant and
Equipment Expenditures Survey. The survey results are adjusted to
make them more comparable with estimates of producers' durable
equipment, principally by excluding expenditures on plant, adding
expenditures on farm equipment, and adding an estimate of expenditures for business passenger cars to the extent that they are not already
covered. Annual estimates for 1959-75 are based on the 1963, 1967,
and 1972 Censuses of Manufactures and the annual surveys for the
remaining years as well as on the series derived from the Plant and
Equipment Expenditures Survey. The latter, together with a series based
largely on monthly manufacturers' shipments estimates, provides the
basis for the quarterly interpolation for 1959-75 and the quarterly and
annual extrapolation for 1976-77. The estimates include purchases of
equipment by private business from government, dealers' margins on
the sale of used equipment, capitalized installation charges, and they are
net of exports of used equipment and the sale of scrapped equipment.
"Change in business inventories" measures the change in the physical
volume of inventories valued at average prices for the period. To
ascertain the change in the physical quantity of stocks of nonfarm
inventories, end of period non-LIFO (last-in-first-out) book values are
converted to constant prices by means of selected Bureau of Labor
Statistics wholesale price indexes appropriate to each industry. The
indexes are chosen to reflect the commodity composition of inventories
in an industry, and are constructed to measure the "cost" or "market"

2-3

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

valuation at the end of each period. Recent data on the particular
accounting methods used by businesses to charge goods out of inventory
allow for a more accurate determination of the period for which prices
are embodied in inventories. The increments in the constant dollar
inventory series are converted to current prices by multiplying them by
ratios of current prices to base-period prices. The change in farm
inventories is estimated by the Economic Research Service of the
Department of Apiculture from physical-quantity data and price data.
The book values of nonfarm inventories are based on book value
data reported to the Bureau of the Census and business income-tax
return data tabulated by the Internal Revenue Service.
The annual and quarterly basic data for manufacturing and trade
inventories, which comprise over nine-tenths of the nonfarm total, have
been derived from the following Census publications: Manufacturers'
Shipments, Inventories, and Orders; Monthly Wholesale Trade Report;
and Annual Retail Trade Reports. The extrapolation of retail trade
inventories is derived mainly from a subsample of the monthly retail
trade survey. The annual inventories of all other nonfarm industries
continue to be obtained from IRS data; quarterly estimates of inventories
in these industries are based mainly on the Securities and Exchange
Commission report Working Capital of United States Corporations and
other data obtained from the Bureau of Mines and trade associations.
"Net exports of goods and services" is exports less imports of goods
and services. Exports of goods and services are included in the gross
national product because they are produced by the Nation's economy.
Since imports of foreign goods and services are included in the purchases of the various market groups (consumer, government, etc.)
distinguished in the GNP breakdown, they must be deducted from the
sum of these purchases to derive a measure of output attributable to the
Nation's economy. There are differences between the NIPA measures
of exports and imports and the balance of payments accounts.
"Government purchases of goods and services" consists of the net
purchases of goods and services by government and of the gross capital
formation of government enterprises. General government purchases
comprise employee compensation and net purchases from business and
from abroad. They exclude the acquisition of land, current outlays of
government enterprises, transfer payments, government interest, and
subsidies, as well as transactions in financial claims.
The quarterly estimates of "Federal purchases of goods and services"
are based essentially on the Monthly Statement of Receipts and
Expenditures of the U.S. Government issued by the Treasury Department. However, since the total of budgetary expenditures as reported in
this publication includes amounts not representing purchases of goods
or services, excludes other items that do constitute purchases according
to the definition of gross national product, and reflects still others with
timing different from that of the national income and product accounts,
numerous adjustments must be made.
The procedure is to treat the Treasury 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 principal
deductions are public debt interest, grants-in-aid to State and local
governments, transfer payments, subsidies, net expenditures of government enterprises, foreign currency purchases, and loans and other
capital transactions. Among the principal additions are the acquisition
of fixed assets and inventories by government enterprises. It may be
noted that this addition involves partial restoration of the total enterprise expenditures previously deducted. Purchases are also converted
from a cash timing basis to a delivery timing basis. This is achieved by
subtracting from disbursements the change in outstanding progress
payments and adding back the change in corporate receivables from
Government. The necessary adjustments for these general procedures
are either found explicitly in the Treasury Statement or derived from
annual data published in the Budget, the Treasury's Combined Statement of Receipts, Expenditures and Balances, financial reports of
government corporations, and a wide variety of other documents.
Contacts with officials of government agencies supplement the basic
source material.
"State and local purchases of goods and services" are derived
primarily from annual State Government Finances, Governmental
Finances, City Government Finances, Historical Statistics on Governmental Finances and Employment, and other reports of the Government Division and the Construction Statistics Division of the Bureau of
the Census.
As in the case of the Federal estimates, purchases of goods and
services are derived as a residual. The estimates are obtained by
subtracting from total State and local government expenditures those



outkys that do not represent direct purchases of goods and servi<
such as transfer payments, interest, current operating expenditures
government enterprises, and purchases of land, and adding back out!
for goods and services that are netted out of total expenditui
namely, government contributions to self-administered insurance fun
The quarterly estimation of purchases is based primarily on indepei
ent State and local payroll and public-construction data.

lysis. "Gross national product in constant dollars" is derived
cipally by dividing components of the seasonaEy adjusted current ar gross national product by appropriate price indexes, in as fine a
Jcdown as practicable. A large number of product groups are
ated separately each quarter, and many additional price indexes,
vn from the sources indicated below, are combined to deflate the
ent-dollar series. Seasonal variations are eliminated from the price
js used. Beginning 1960, the estimates include data for Alaska and
rail.
''Personal consumption expenditures" are deflated mainly by price
3S that are components of the Consumer Price Index compiled by
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor.
The "structures" component of gross private domestic investment is
ated largely on the basis of construction price and cost indexes
ipiled by government and private agencies. The specific techniques
1 are described in the August 1974 SURVEY OF CURRENT
5INESS (see pp. 18-27). Producers' durable equipment purchases are
isted to eliminate price changes by reference principally to the
eau of Labor Statistics Wholesale Price Indexes. The techniques
i are described in the July 1975 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
j pp. 20-23).
"Change in business inventories" is also deflated largely on the basis
3LS Wholesale Price Indexes.
"Net exports of goods and services" is the baknce of separately
lated exports and imports. Major reliance in removing price changes
on indexes of unit values for merchandise exports and imports
pared by the Bureau of the Census.
In the deflation of government purchases, an attempt is made to
»roximate specification pricing for the value added by general
r
ernment, which is measured by the compensation of government
ployees. For the Federal Government, indexes (1972=100) of
ployee hours in the various Civil Service and wage board grades are
sn weights that are proportional to 1972 payrolls in those grades.
s rationale of this weighting system is that average pay by grade
lects such factors as experience and education. The procedure is
dified to eliminate differences in average pay that do not reflect
ferences in these factors. Constant-dollar compensation for military
ployees is obtained by weighting indexes of employment in the
ious ranks of officers and enlisted men by 1972 payrolls in those
iks. For State and local noneducation government employees,
weighted man-hours are adjusted by use of information relating to
ieral civilian employees. For elementary and secondary school
chers, indexes of employee hours (cross-classified by educational
ainment and experience) are given weights proportional to payrolls
those cross-classifications. For teachers in higher education, the
ighting system takes into account only differences in educational
ainment. The weighting system for nonteaching employees takes
o account occupational categories.
The methodology for obtaining constant-dollar government purises from business incorporates information on prices and product
mposition of government purchases. In some cases, price information
it relates directly to the kinds of goods and services purchased is
tained from government agencies. Detail on the product composition
government purchases permits a matching of current-dollar purases with the price indexes used to convert them into constant
liars. For the Federal Government, this information is derived from
3 records on contracts awarded by the Department of Defense,
meral Services Administration, and certain other agencies. For State
d local government, incorporation of information underlying the
63 and 1967 input-output tables on the industry distribution of the
^eral functional categories of purchases serves a similar purpose.

Analysis. "National income" is the income that originates in the
production of goods and services attributable to the labor and property
supplied by residents of the United States. Incomes are recorded in the
forms in which they accrue to residents and are measured before
deduction 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. Quarterly data represent
interpolations of annual totals using, for the most part, components of
the personal income series (described in note 2 for p. 10).
"Compensation of employees" is the income accruing to employees
as remuneration for their work. It is the sum of wages and sakries and
supplements to wages and sakries.
"Wages and sakries" consists of the monetary remuneration of
employees, including the compensation of corporate officers,
commissions, tips, and bonuses, and of payments in kind, which
represent income to the recipients. The derivation of wages and sakries
is described in note 2 for p. 10.
"Supplements to wages and sakries" consists of employer contributions for social insurance and other kbor income. Employer contributions for social insurance includes employer payments under the
following programs: Federal old-age, survivors, disability, and hospital
insurance, State unemployment insurance, the Federal unemployment
tax, Government retirement, publicly administered workmen's compensation, and some other minor programs. (Other kbor income is defined
in note 2 for p. 11.) The annual figures for employer contributions for
social insurance and other kbor income are interpokted and extrapokted from approprkte wage and sakry estimates, with adjustment
for changes in contribution rates.
"Proprietors' income with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments" (shown separately for business and professional
enterprises and farm enterprises) is the monetary earnings and income
in kind of sole proprietorships and partnerships including the independent professions, and producers' cooperatives. Interest income
received by nonfinancial proprietors and rental incomes received by
persons who are not primarily engaged in the real estate business are
excluded.
"Rental income of persons with capital consumption adjustment" is
the monetary earnings of persons from the rental of real property,
except the income of persons primarily engaged in the real estate
business; the imputed net rental income of owner-occupants of nonfarm
dwellings; and the royalties received by persons from patents, copyrights, and rights to natural resources.
"Corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments" is the income of corporations organized for profit
which accrue to residents, measured before income taxes, before
deduction of depletion charges, after exclusion of capital gains and
losses, and net of dividends received from domestic corporations. In
addition to domestic operations, corporate profits include net receipts
of dividends and branch profits from abroad.
The estimate of corporate profits is prepared in four stages of
decreasing reliance on data: (1) a benchmark estimate is made for the
most recent year for which complete tax-return data are avaikble from
the Internal Revenue Service; (2) preliminary and incomplete tax-return
data provide the basis for the annual estimate for the year following the
benchmark year; (3) the annual estimates are extrapokted to more
recent years by use of information from samples of stockholder reports
and the FTC Quarterly Financial Report and reguktory agency data;

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

7-8

and (4) quarterly estimates are interpolated within and extrapolated
beyond the annual totals by use of more limited samples.
The first and second stages of the estimating process can be viewed
as a series of conceptual adjustments to the statistical estimates prepared
by the Internal Revenue Service of net income reported on tax returns.
The major conceptual adjustments include adding profits disclosable
by complete audit, State income taxes, the income of Federal financial
agencies which do not file tax returns, the bad debt adjustment, and tax
return depletion, and deducting capital pins, dividends received, and
the substitution of remittances from abroad for foreign earnings.
Having determined the annual benchmark and a preliminary
benchmark approximation, the estimates are extrapolated forward for
years not yet available from the Internal Revenue Services. An extrapolation is made for each of more than 50 industry cells separately by
moving the BEA measure forward by the movement shown in stockholder or regulatory agency data prepared for the industry, and the
results are summed to derive an all-industry total.
"Corporate profits tax liability" comprises Federal, State, and local
taxes levied on corporate income each year and a BEA estimate of
the actual additional taxes that result from audit.
"Inventory valuation adjustment" is the change in the business
inventories component of GNP (CBI), which is measured as the change
in the physical volume of inventories valued in prices of the current
period less the change in the value of inventories reported by business
(book value). The IVA is required because, according to the inventory
accounting methods used by business the change in book values
generally differs from the CBI. Measurement of inventory change as
physical volume change valued in prices of the current period conforms
its treatment to that of all other components of GNP. An alternative
definition of the IVA as the excess of the replacement cost of inventories
used up over their historical acquisition cost is often helpful. That this
definition is equivalent to the definition stated above follows from the
fact that, according to all methods of inventory valuation used by
business, inventory purchases in an accounting period are reflected in
book values in the prices of that accounting period. To make the
measurement of charges against GNP consistent with GNP, the IVA
must be applied to reported corporate profits and proprietors* income,
because these are based on the same accounting methods that underlie
the book value of inventories.
"Net interest" is the interest paid by domestic business less interest
received by it, plus net interest received from abroad. Interest paid by
consumers and by government, including government enterprises, is not
added into this computation because it is not treated as a factor cost of
production. Net interest can also be defined as interest received by the
personal sector less paid by consumers plus net interest received by
Government. In addition to monetary interest flows, net interest
includes flows of interest in kind (imputed interest). The latter have
their counterparts in similar service charges. The portion of these
interest flows that is allocated to consumers and government is a component of net interest and the associated service charges are included in
personal consumption expenditures and government purchases. Imputed
interest is also earned on individuals' pension and life insurance reserves.

"Personal tax and nontax payments" is tax payments (net
refunds) by persons (except personal contributions for social insuran
that are not chargeable to business expense, and of certain ot
personal payments to general government that it is covenient to tr
like taxes. Personal taxes include income, estate and gift, and perso
property taxes. Nontaxes include tuitions and fees paid to schools i
hospitals operated mainly by government, fines and penalties, do
tions, and other items. Nontaxes generally exclude purchases by perse
from government of goods and services that are similar to goods 2
services purchased by persons from business.
Federal personal tax payments—individual income, estate, and |
taxes-are derived from data reported by the Internal Revenue Servi
Income tax withholdings are amounts withheld from employees' wa
and salaries. The estimates are derived by adjusting Federal coUectic
data to allow for the lag from the time the tax payments are withh
from the employee until the time the employer deposits the paym<
with the Treasury. Seasonal adjustment is accomplished by distribut
the calendar year totals over four quarters in accordance with 1
movement of seasonally adjusted payrolls subject to withhold!
Appropriate allowances are made for changes in tax rates. Other co
ponents of personal tax payments represent cash collections net
cash refunds. Nonwithheld individual income taxes (quarte
declarations, end-of-year settlements, and back payments) and incoi
tax refunds are smoothed through the year to approximate seasoi
adjustment. Estate and gift taxes are seasonally adjusted separate
Federal personal nontax payments are determined principally frc
detailed analyses of Budget data on miscellaneous and propriety
receipts of the Treasury.

Income taxes are seasonally adjusted by distributing the calendar ye
totals in accordance with seasonally adjusted payrolls. Seasonal
adjusted nontaxes are calculated by graphic interpolation

"Disposable personal income" is the income remaining to perso
after deduction of personal tax and nontax payments to governmei
"Personal outlays" consists of personal consumption expenditure
interest paid by consumers to business, and personal transfer paymer
to foreigners (net). The last of these consists of personal remittances

alysis. "Personal income" is the income received by persons from all
ices, that is, from participation in production, from transfer paynts from government and business, and from government interest,
ich is treated like a transfer payment. Persons consist of individuals,
iproilt institutions, private noninsured welfare funds, and private
st funds. Proprietors' income is treated in its entirety as received by
ividuals. Life insurance carriers and private noninsured pension funds
not counted as persons, but their saving is credited to persons,
sonal income is the sum of wage and salary disbursements, other
or income, proprietors' income, rental income of persons, dividends,
•sonal interest income, and transfer payments, less personal contritions for social insurance. Beginning in 1960, the estimates include
:a for Alaska and Hawaii.
"Wage and salary disbursements" are equal to wages and salaries,
;ept that retroactive wages are counted when received rather than
en earned. They include income in kind as well as monetary receipts
the form of wages, salaries, commissions, etc. For information on the
p
eral components of employer disbursements, see note 3 below. An
planation of "other labor income" is given in note 2 for p. 11.
"Proprietors' income" is the sum of income of unincorporated
terprises and inventory valuation adjustment.
"Rental income of persons" is defined in the 6th paragraph of note
or p. 6.
"Personal interest income" is the interest income of persons from all
urces.
Personal income differs from national income in that it includes
insfer payments and interest received by persons, regardless of source,
lile it excludes both employee and employer contributions for social
mrance, corporate profits tax liability and inventory valuation
justment, and undistributed corporate profits. A minor difference
10 appears in the wage and salary components in that retroactive wage
yments are included in personal income when received and in national
some when earned.
The sources and methods used in compiling the monthly series are
fen in paragraphs following.
For interpolating the annual series and for extending the series
.rrently, monthly data from various governmental and private agencies
e employed. Monthly reports of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,
msus Bureau, Civil Service Commission, and other agencies are used
estimate wages and salaries.
Estimates for wages and salaries are prepared individually by
dustries, and for the period 1946-76 these are based mainly on
lyroll indexes of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, reports by carriers to
e Interstate Commerce Commission, and payroll estimates of the Civil
jrviee Commission, and Statistical Reporting Service, U.S. Department
' Agriculture. In only a few instances were indirect methods of estiate employed.
Federal transfer payments, for the most part, are reported directly
>r the various governmental agencies, such as the Social Security
dministration, Veterans Administration, and U.S. Civil Service
Dmmission in the Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts and Outys of the United States Government. Data for State and local governent transfer payments are compiled mostly from periodic reports
.ade to the National Center for Social Statistics, Manpower
dministration, Social Security Administration, and the Bureau of the
ensus. For some of the components of Federal and State-local transfer
ayments (such as State and local workmen's compensation) no monthly
ata are available. In those cases, monthly data are estimated, either by
ctrapolation using an indicator series, or by smoothing annual data in
time series.




941

Dividend income is currently estimated from a sample of corporate
dividend payments. This sample is used to extrapolate and to interpolate monthly the latest tax-return-based estimates.
Although the monthly estimates of proprietors' income are prepared
in considerable detail, they are based on less adequate data than are
wages and salaries. Farm proprietors' income is based mainly on cash
income from farm marketings data provided by the Statistical Reporting
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Business and professional
proprietors' income estimates are based, for the most part, on annual
regressions of receipts to proprietors* income. Since the monthly
receipts data that are employed have already been corrected for seasonal
variation, no further seasonal correction is necessary.
Interest estimates are based in part on current information on the
Federal Government interest receipts and expenses, interest paid on
outstanding consumer credit, and interest flows of some of the major
financial intermediaries. Other interest components are estimated based
on annual controls.
Other labor income and rent estimates represent a series obtained by
plotting annual averages and drawing a smooth curve through these
averages.
Monthly estimates of employee contributions for old-age, survivors,
disability, and hospital insurance, unemployment insurance, railroad
retirement insurance, State and local workmen's compensation propams, and Government employee retirement systems are based on relevant wage and salary data, taking into account changes in contribution
rates. Medical insurance premiums, veterans life insurance premiums,
and Federal workmen's compensation contributions are based on
records of the agencies concerned. Estimates of annual old-age, survivors,
disability, and hospital insurance contributions by the self-employed
are derived from data supplied by the Social Security Administration,
and smoothed through the year to approximate seasonal adjustment.
Monthly data for 1947-72 for the series indicated by a star are in
the appendix to this volume. A discussion of the latest benchmark
revision incorporating changes in definitions and classifications, and
improvements in statistical methods appears in the January 1976
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, Parts I and II, together with
annual and quarterly data for 1946-72. Annual data for 1929-72 and
quarterly data for 1946-72 appear in THE NATIONAL INCOME AND
PRODUCT ACCOUNTS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1929-74, a

Analysis. The data presented reflect the revision of the new plant and
equipment expenditures series introduced in January 1970. That
revision, which covered the entire postwar period, incorporated the
following changes: (1) Adjustment of the annual expenditure estimates
for the various industries to benchmark data from the 1958 and 1963
censuses and to a wide range of quasi-benchmark data for those years
from other sources, and (2) updating seasonal factors for each industry.
The estimates relate to the whole of American private industry,
exclusive of agricultural business, real estate operators, professional
services (medical, legal, educational, and cultural), and nonprofit
membership organizations. Estimates are based on reports from corporations registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting
to the Commission; a sample of transportation firms under Interstate
Commerce Commission jurisdiction reporting to that Commission; and
a large sample of unregistered companies, unincorporated and incorporated, reporting to the Department of Commerce.
Currently, expenditures of sample companies constitute 75 percent
of estimated universe expenditures.
New plant and equipment expenditures refer to all costs (both
replacement and expansion) chargeable to fixed asset accounts and for
which depreciation accounts are ordinarily maintained. Expenditures
are classified by industry according to the major activity of the
company. Included in the totals are expenditures for new construction,
machinery, and new equipment (automobiles, trucks, and other transportation equipment; funiture and fixtures; office machinery; and all
other new equipment). The figures do not include expenditures for
land and mineral rights; maintenance and repair; new facilities owned
by the Federal Government operated under contract by private
companies; plant and equipment furnished a company by communities
and organizations; used plant and equipment; and expenditures made
in foreign countries.
The figures shown here do not agree precisely with the totals
included in the gross national product estimates of the Department of
Commerce on p. 1. The conceptual difference lies in the inclusion in
those data of investment by farmers, professionals, institutions, and real
estate firms, and of certain outlays charged to current account. In
addition, there are differences due to the types of statistical data
employed, the BEA estimates being based on surveys of purchases,
while the GNP estimates are based on a combination of the survey
results and shipments.
The figures for the manufacturing sector are higher than the
estimates of capital expenditures compiled by the Bureau of the
Census. In addition to normal sampling variation, a major source of
difference is in the scope of coverage. The manufacturing segment of
the BEA series covers all establishments (nonmanufacturing as well as
manufacturing) operated by manufacturing companies, whereas the
Census Bureau series relates only to manufacturing establishments.
However, manufacturing establishments of companies engaged primarily
in nonmanufacturing activities are included in the Census Bureau manufacturing data; in the BEA series they are in the nonmanufacturing
sector.
All quarterly data were seasonally adjusted using the Census Bureau
X-ll procedure (U.S. Bureau of the Census Technical Paper No. 15,
1965, available from the Chief, Statistical Indicators Division, Bureau
of Economic Analysis, Washington, D.C. 20230).
More detailed information on sources, definitions, and methods of
computation for the new series appears in the January 1970 SURVEY

* Source: U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Econom:
Analysis. The U.S. international transactions accounts summariz
economic transactions between residents of the United States and thos
of the rest of the world during a specified time period. The data show
here exclude transactions under military grant programs.
The accounts for international transactions may be set up in varioi
ways. This volume follows the presentation currently adopted in th
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, which distinguishes betwee
transactions in goods and services, unilateral transfers, and capita
transactions. Not all international transactions can be measured c
estimated. Those that cannot be determined are categorized here 2
"statistical discrepancy"; they represent the difference between th
"recorded" net credits and debits.
Balances of international transactions are computed on the basis c
selected specific categories of transactions. The selection essentiall
reflects an analytical judgment and may vary according to the genen
context and aim of the analysis. Several balances are presented here
(1) The balance on merchandise trade measures net exports c
goods from the United States.

BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1977 EDITION

2) The balance on goods and services measures net exports of
Is and services from the United States and is a component of the
, gross national product.
'3) The balance on goods, services, and remittances takes into
)unt unilateral transfers other than U.S. Government grants as well
et exports of goods and services.
[4) The balance on current account measures net exports of goods
services and unilateral transfers including U.S. Government grants.
The seasonal factors used to compute the seasonally adjusted
rterly figures are derived for individual series mainly by techniques
sloped by the Bureau of the Census. Beginning in the first quarter of
3, changes in U.S. private assets abroad and foreign assets in the
ted States are no longer seasonally adjusted.
Merchandise imports and exports account for the bulk of recorded
ments and receipts. They are based chiefly on the official foreign
le statistics of the United States compiled by the Bureau of the
isus; exports are on a f.a.s. transactions valuation basis in all years;
>orts are on a customs valuation basis through 1973 and on a f.a.s.
isaction basis beginning in 1974. Certain adjustments to the Census
a for valuation, coverage, and timing are made for balance of pay[its purposes. Major deductions from the figures compiled by the
•eau of the Census are exports of goods by the Department of
'ense under grants and under military agency sales contract, and
sorts by U.S. military agencies. These items are shown elsewhere in
balance of payments. Merchandise imports have been adjusted from
>5 through 1973 to correct for an overvaluation of assembled
icles imported from Canada under the provisions of the U.S.—
ladian Automotive Products Trade Act of 1965. Although the values
such vehicles imported from Canada are recorded in Census Bureau
le statistics in accordance with statutory requirements of the Bureau
the Customs, these values overstate the actual transactions prices
irged by the Canadian subsidiaries of U.S. corporations to their U.S.
ent organizations. Merchandise exports have been adjusted upwards
adding an estimate for inland freight charges on shipments to
nada since surveys have revealed that for most of such shipments
;se charges have not been properly included in the export value
>wn on the customs declarations. Also added to the Bureau of the
nsus data on international trade are exports and imports of
nmonetary gold. By balance of payments convention private U.S.
es of gold (including newly mined gold) to the U.S. Treasury that
.ult in a rise in official gold reserves were included in merchandise as
ports while private purchases (for industrial purposes) from the
easury that result in a decline in official gold reserves were treated as
ports through March 17,1968.
Transfers under military agency sales contracts represent deliveries
goods and services to foreign countries under credit and cash sales
ntracts by U.S. military agencies. (Cash received in advance of
liveries is considered an increase in assets held by foreigners in the
lited States; deliveries against cash received in prior periods result in
lecline in such foreign assets.)
Direct defense expenditures cover both merchandise and services,
qpenditures by U.S. military personnel in the foreign economies are
duded as well as foreign expenditures by the Armed Forces, both for
eir own use abroad and for transfer to our allies.
Receipts of income on U.S. investments abroad include dividends,
:erest, and branch earnings received by U.S. corporations from their
reign affiliates, dividends and interest on foreign securities held by
S. residents, and interest on bank and commercial loans. The figures
> not include the U.S. share in undistributed earnings of foreign
rporations, and they are net of foreign taxes. The figures also include
terest received in dollars and foreign currencies by the U.S. Governent on loans to foreign countries.
Payments of income on foreign investments in the United States
elude: (1) Dividends, interest, and branch earnings paid on foreign
rect investments in the United States and (2) interest and dividends
i U.S. private and Government securities, bank deposits, and other
sets held by foreigners. The figures do not include the foreign share in
invested earnings of U.S. corporations and are net of U.S. withholding
xes.
Data for income on direct investment are obtained from quarterly
irect investment questionnaires. Other income data are estimated by
pplying appropriate yields to outstanding amounts of investment.
Exports of other services consist of receipts from: Transportation,
jreign visitors to the United States, royalties and fees from affiliated
nd unaffiliated foreigners, reinsurance transactions, communication,
>reign government and international agencies stationed in the United




16

States, and nonmilitary services rendered by the U.S. Government
whether paid in cash or provided under government assistance programs.
Imports of other services consist principally of U.S. payments for
transportation, travel, insurance, royalties and fees to affiliated and
unaffiliated foreigners, and miscellaneous U.S. Government expenditures.
Estimates for transportation receipts and payments are derived from
questionnaires distributed to U.S. carriers and U.S. agents of foreign
carriers, from foreign embassy reports, and from tonnage data
contained in the Bureau of Census reports on foreign trade. Travel
estimates are based on the number of international travelers recorded
by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, U.S. Department of
Justice, and their average expenditures, which are secured from a
quarterly BEA questionnaire distributed to a sample of the travel
population. Estimates for the remaining services are obtained mainly
from the U.S. agencies or companies participating in the transactions,
usually on the basis of regular quarterly or annual questionnaires.
Unilateral transfers consist of net private remittances from U.S.
individuals and institutions, U.S. Government grants, and U.S. Government pensions and other transfers.
Net private remittances include: (1) Noncommercial payments from
individuals residing within the United States and its possessions to
individuals residing in foreign countries (debit); (2) institutional remittances of cash and the value of goods forwarded abroad by charitable
organizations (debit); (3) an estimate of the value of parcels sent
abroad by individuals as gifts (debit); and (4) pensions and other
transfers including indemnity and restitution payments made by foreign
governments to U.S. residents (credit).
Personal remittances are estimated on the basis of data received
from banks, communications companies, and the postal service.
Institutional remittances are based on information obtained from
reports of organizations to the Department of State or to BEA. The
value of gift parcels is determined by applying an average value per
pound to the total number of pounds of parcel post forwarded abroad
as reported by the Post Office Department. Remittances to U.S. private
residents made by foreign governments are obtained from balance of
payments records of foreign countries (mainly Germany and Canada).
U.S. Government grants (other than military) consist of transfers to
foreigners of goods, services, or cash with either no fixed obligation for
payment or no obligation. Included are transfers of services under
technical assistance programs and the Peace Corps. Pensions and other
transfers to foreigners include only U.S. Government transactions.
Pension payments are made mainly by the Veterans Administration, the
Civil Service Commission, and the Social Security Administration.
U.S. Government capital flows, net, excluding official reserve assets,
represent disbursements on loans by the Export-Import Bank, the
Agency for International Development, the Department of Agriculture,
the Department of Defense, and other Government agencies, less
repayment in dollars and foreign currencies of outstanding loans, and
net changes in holdings of foreign currencies and other claims not
included with official reserve assets. Foreign currency holdings included
here are obtained mainly through the sale of agricultural products under
PL 480 and through foreign payments of interest and principal on loans.
Such currency holdings are reduced mainly through their use for
Government administrative expenditures and for pants and loans to
the countries issuing these currencies.
U.S. private capital flows, net, consist of: (1) Direct investments
(which include purchases and sales of equity interests in foreign
enterprises and capital movements between U.S. corporations and their
foreign affiliates); (2) purchases and sales of foreign securities;
(3) changes in outstanding claims reported by U.S. banks; and (4) changes
in outstanding claims on nonaffiliated foreign residents reported by
U.S. nonbanking concerns. The figures for direct investments do not
include reinvestments of the U.S. share in undistributed earnings of
foreign corporations, but do include investments in foreign affiliates
of funds that had been borrowed abroad by the U.S. parent companies
or by their affiliates incorporated in the United States.
Data for direct investments transactions are obtained by BEA,
Department of Commerce, through quarterly questionnaires answered
by U.S. corporations; data on other capital flows are collected by the
Treasury Department through the Federal Reserve System.
Foreign capital flows, net, include transactions related to foreign
direct investments in the United States; foreign purchases and sales of
U.S. securities (including securities issued by local governments and
nonguaranteed securities issued by U.S. Government agencies); and
changes in U.S. liabilities to foreigners reported by U.S. banks, by
unaffiliated U.S. nonbanking concerns, and by U.S. Government. The

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

data are separated into long-term, nonliquid short-term and liquid
liabilities; liabilities to private foreigners are reported separately from
liabilities to foreign official agencies.
Data on capital movements related to foreign direct investments in
the United States are based on quarterly reports that U.S. enterprises
affiliated with foreign enterprises make to BEA, Department of
Commerce.
Transactions in U.S. official reserve assets include changes in U.S.
official holdings of gold, special drawing rights, and convertible foreign
currencies (Treasury and the Federal Reserve System holdings), and
changes in the U.S. gold tranche position in the IMF. The latter equals
the U.S. quota in the IMF minus the Fund's holdings of U.S.
dollars-the amount the United States could purchase in foreign
currencies automatically if needed.
Special drawing rights (SDR) are international reserve assets which
were created through amendments to the Articles of Agreement of the
International Monetary Fund to provide an orderly and adequate
growth in international liquidity. The first base period provided for 3
annual allocations: The initial allocation to the United States and other
participating nations was made on January 1, 1970, the second on
January 1, 1971, and the third on January 1,1972. No allocations have
been made subsequently. The allocation of SDR's is shown separately
in the international accounts as a credit entry. Changes in holdings of
SDR's are included in official reserve assets. Reserve holdings of SDR's
may change not only as a result of allocations but also through purchases of SDR's from other countries or through sales of SDR's to
other countries.
Detailed annual balance of payments data beginning 1960 and
quarterly data beginning 1966 are in the June 1977 SURVEY. Detailed
data in a somewhat different format appear for 1962-65 by quarter in
the June 1974 SURVEY, for 1960-61 in the June 1973 SURVEY, for
the years 1948-59 in the June 1972 SURVEY, and for 1955-59 by
quarter in the September 1970 SURVEY. Detailed data for 1950-54 by
quarters and for 1919-47 on an annual basis appear in the Balance of
Payments Statistical Supplement, a Department of Commerce publication, issued in 1963.

Service. Monthly estimates of cash receipts from farm marketings are
derived from estimates of monthly marketings and prices received by
farmers for the various farm commodities. For most of the important
farm products, reported mid-month prices are used while season average
prices are used for a number of minor commodities. Beginning 1960,
the estimates include data for Alaska and Hawaii; however, the cash
receipts and marketings indexes are now published on a 50-State basis
(including Alaska and Hawaii) beginning 1966.
Where farm products are placed under loan to the Commodity
Credit Corporation, receipts through loans are counted as income
during the month the loan is made, and if the product is later
redeemed, the cost of redemption is subtracted from receipts at the
time of redemption. Government payments, which are added to cash
receipts from marketings to obtain total cash receipts from farming,
comprise all payments made directly to farmers under various programs
such as conservation, Sugar Act, Wool Act, soil bank payments, and
feed grains and wheat programs. Government price support loans that
are reflected in prices received by farmers for their products are not
included in this item since they are covered in the estimates of receipts
from marketings.
Estimates of marketings for recent calendar years are based on
estimated production, the normal disposition of the product, and the
usual seasonal movement to market, supplemented by available current
data on market receipts, marketings, processing of farm products, and
government price support operations. These estimates will be revised as
more complete data on production, crop-year sales, and monthly
marketings become available.
Indexes of cash receipts from farm marketings and CCC loans are
computed by dividing the estimates of the relevant total of cash



receipts for each month by the monthly average of the corresponc
total in the base period 1971-73 and converting to a 1967 base pe]
by an adjustment factor required to convert the 1971-73 based in
for 1967 to equal 100. The indexes shown here are not adjusted
seasonal variation.

Statistics, No. 576, issued July 1977 by the Economic Resea
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture; a more comprehen
description regarding construction and use of the farm income se

marketings of all the commodities included in cash receipts from fa
marketings, with the exception of those for which neither quantity }
price data are available. The monthly estimates of sales of individ
farm commodities used in computing the estimates of cash farm inco
provide the basic material for calculating the index. Data for Alaska a
Hawaii are included beginning 1966.
The index is based on marketings of about 150 agricultural produ
that account for virtually all of the total cash receipts from fa
marketings. It is calculated by the weighted aggregate method, i
quantities for each year are multiplied by fixed prices as weights;tl
price-quantity aggregates for individual periods are expressed as p
centages of the appropriate average price-quantity aggregates in i
base period. The index numbers appearing here are on a 1967 referei
base period. Beginning 1965, the index reflects the incorporation
revised price weights, based on the years 1971-73.
Data on monthly marketings of some items included in the ind
are not available currently, and it is necessary to estimate montl
marketings from estimated production, the normal percentages so
and the usual seasonal movement to market. The estimates are subj<
to revision as more complete data on marketings become availab
The index of physical quantity of farm products sold shown he
and the index of prices received by farmers on p. 42 provide measui
of the causes of fluctuations in cash receipts from marketings but <
not measure exactly the movement in cash receipts, and in sor
months changes in the indexes may seem somewhat inconsistent. Su
inconsistencies as may exist can be explained in part by the fact tli
although the marketings index and the prices received index a
comparable in their commodity coverage, they are not comparable
their weighting systems. The indexes are computed by the ba
aggregative method. The weights were adjusted by imputing values
marketings for commodities for which quantities are not available
order to baknce base period aggregates with total cash receipts. Tl
imputation and a shift of melons from the fruit to the vegetable groi
are the only major departures from computational procedures usi
previously. The prices received index is based on average quanti
weights from the periods as follows: 1924-29 for the period 1910-3
193741 for the period 1935 to Setember 1952; 1953-57 for tl
period from September 1952 to January 1965; and 1971-73 for tJ
period January 1965 to date. Prices used in the price index do n<
reflect loan rates of commodities placed under CCC loan. In additio
they represent U.S. prices in which State prices are weighted by consta
weights for all months in each marketing year, and hence they do n<
reflect seasonal variations among States which do affect the month
index of marketings. Another source of possible discrepancy is tl
inclusion in cash receipts of such items as forest, nursery, and gree
house products, which, for lack of data, are included neither in tl
volume index nor in the price index.

constructing the index see Agricultural Handbook No. 109, New Inde
Numbers of Farm Marketings and Home Consumption, issued in Ju
1956 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

sical volume or quantity of output of manufacturing, mining, and
trie and gas utilities. It reflects output changes at all stages within
lufacturing and mining industries (including intermediate as well as
1 products). The index does not cover production on farms, in the
struction industry, in transportation, or in various trade and service
astries.
The index includes production at Government owned and operated
its and shipyards (both Navy and private). Atomic energy manu:uring activity is represented beginning with 1947. A number of
ups and subgroups include data for individual series not published
arately.
Since the index of industrial production was first introduced by the
ird in the 1920's, it has been revised from time to time to take
ount of the growing complexity of the economy, the availability of
re data, improvement in statistical processing techniques, and
nements in methods of analysis.
The figures presented here reflect the revision of the industrial
duction index introduced by the Board in June 1976. This revision
led new individual series and subdivisions to the index (not shown
e); adjusted the individual series to the Censuses of Manufactures
1 Minerals benchmark data for changes from 1963 to 1967, and to
nprehensive annual data from a variety of other sources through
73; and introduced new seasonal factors based on data through
74. (A description of the revision completed in July 1971 is in the
73 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS.)
The method used in combining the individual series is the weighted
*age of relatives. This consists of (1) reducing each series into
itives, with the average for the base period, 1967, as 100; (2) multiply ; each series of relatives by a base-year weight factor; and (3) adding
j products (relatives multiplied by weights) for any 1 month to
tain the index number for the month. The weights used are percentage
ight factors, that is, the percentage of the weight assigned to each
ies to the total weight assigned to all series in the base period. Since
2 total of the percentage weight factors is equal to 100, the sum of
2 products of all series for any 1 month (all series times their respece weight factors) gives the index of industrial production for that
3nth. The products of the component series and their weights give the
jnber of points contributed to the index by individual series. This
3thod of computation facilitates analysis of the changes in the index.
>r example, it makes it possible to observe the points contributed by
ch series or group of series, and therefore to determine which series
group of series is responsible for the month-to-month changes in the
tal index or in the index for any group or subgroup of industries.
The weights used are based on value added-the difference between
e value of production and the cost of materials or supplies consumed—
individual industries for selected base years. The 1967 proportions,
the relative importance of the groupings based on the 1967 weights,
3 shown in detail in the Federal Reserve Board publication, Industrial
oduction; 1971 Edition, and include a discussion of weights and
sight base years back of 1967.
Components of the index are adjusted for two kinds of short-time
curring fluctuations, i.e., for differences in the number of working
.ys from month to month and for seasonal variation. Beginning with
dexes for January 1947, allowances for holiday observances have
^en made in seasonal factors rather than in working-day adjustments,
scept for Easter, each of the principal holidays is in the same month
.ch year-January, May, July, September, November, and December,
eported product data are converted to a daily average basis by
ljusting for the number of working days in the reporting period. In
tese calculations Saturdays and/or Sundays, and half days, are
garded as nonworking days. No allowances for holiday shutdowns are
ade in the working-day adjustment; consequently, the effects of
3liday observances on monthly output are reflected in the indexes
ladjusted for seasonal variation. No adjustment is required for
lonthly series based on man-hour and kilowatt-hour data because they
:e little affected by calendar variations.
The seasonal adjustment factors in the index have been developed
jsentially by the ratio-to-moving-average method (basic method
escribed in Federal Reserve Bulletin for June 1941). The procedures
sed in deriving the seasonally adjusted series are those incorporated in
le X-l 1 version of the Census Method II electronic computer program




for seasonal adjustment. A selected number of seasonally adjusted
components are given professional review for further refinement.
Monthly data for 1947-72 for those series indicated by a star appear
in the appendix to this volume. Monthly data for other series prior to
1973 are available from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, Washington, D.C. 20551.

Analysis. Sales are estimated aggregate dollar values and inventories are
estimated book values at the end of the year or month. Business sales
and inventories are here defined as the sum of the data for manufacturing and for merchant wholesale and retail trade. These figures are
smaller than the nonfarm business statistics used in gross national
product computations by the amount of sales (or revenue) and inventories for nonmerchant wholesalers (e.g., manufacturers' sales branches,
company-owned petroleum bulk stations and terminals, agents and
brokers, etc.), mining, construction, utilities, communication, transportation, and services.
The term "sales" used here signifies essentially sales or shipments
for retail and wholesale trade and billings or shipments for manufacturing.
Trade inventories are valued at cost of merchandise on hand, while
manufacturers' inventories are, in general, valued at the lower of cost
or market price. More recently (since 1974), about one third of manufacturers' inventories are valued on a last-in-first-out (LIFO) basis; the
use of LIFO is less prevalent in trade generally (though it is used
extensively by department stores and food stores).
Changes in the book value of business inventories reflect movements
of repkcement costs as well as changes in physical volume. In measuring
inventory investment as part of the gross national product, the data are
adjusted to remove the effect of changes in replacement costs. (See
explanation of "inventory valuation adjustment" in note 1 for p. 6.)
The annual totals shown here for manufacturing and trade sales
are based on unadjusted data; in the case of the manufacturing segment
the unadjusted figures, as well as the seasonally adjusted data, include
adjustments for trading-day and calendar-month variation.
Unadjusted and seasonally adjusted monthly data for 1948-72 for
total manufacturing and trade sales and inventories appear in the
appendix to this volume.

represent estimated sales and inventories of merchant wholesalers in
the United States. Data for Alaska and Hawaii are included beginning
January 1961. The wholesale trade series shown in the 1975 and earlier
editions have been revised to reflect (1) a new sample design; (2) benchmarking of sales to results of the 1967 and 1972 censuses of wholesale
trade; (3) conversion of classifications from the 1967 to the 1972
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual; (4) addition of farm
assemblers and independent bulk petroleum establishments; and
(5) revision and updating of seasonal adjustment factors.
The estimates are confined to merchant wholesalers since information
on other types of wholesalers is not available except for years when the
census of wholesale trade was taken. The 1972 Census of Business
indicated that merchant wholesalers accounted for 51 percent of the
sales and 82 percent of the inventories of all wholesale establishments.
Areas of wholesale trade not covered in this series include manufacturers' sales branches and sales offices, buyers, and associations
engaged in the cooperative marketing of farm products, and agents,
merchandise or commodity brokers, and commission merchants.
Sales include sales of merchandise and receipts from repairs or other
services to customers, after deducting returns, allowances, and discounts; sales of merchandise for others on a commission basis are also
included. Local and State sales taxes and Federal excise taxes are not
included. Inventories represent stocks, generally at cost, of merchandise
on hand for sale at the end of the month; they do not include goods
held on a consignment basis or such items as fixtures, equipment, and
supplies not held for sale.

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

The reporting firms are part of a probability sample representing
merchant wholesalers in all kinds of business.
The new sample introduced in November 1977 (covering data back
to January 1967) was selected initially from the Standard Statistical
Establishment List (SSEL), a directory developed by the Census Bureau
representing a universe file of domestic establishments with one or
more paid employees in all areas of economic activity. The old sample
incorporated the results of the 1967 Census of Wholesale Trade and the
1971 County Business Patterns file updated by "births" (new wholesale
businesses). The new sample reflects benchmark data from the 1972
census and includes updates for "births" since 1972.
In the new sample design an annual update is planned to assure
appropriate representation in the sample. This involves identification
of large companies with substantial growth by use of the Census
Bureau's annual Company Organization Survey (COS). In addition, the
process of selecting "births" has been improved by using both expected
employment size and actual payroll during the first calendar quarter of
operation to determine the firm's probablity of selection in the survey.
Studies have indicated that using the Employer Identification (El)
number as a sampling unit can underrepresent some large companies.
In the new design, some large multiunit firms selected with certainty
are asked to report on a company basis rather than for a sample of
El's. The noncertainty component of the sample, representing smaller
firms, continues to be selected on an El basis.
A detailed discussion of the new series appears in Monthly Wholesale Trade, Sales and Inventories: January 1967-August 1977 (Revised).
Comprehensive details for the descriptions of the different samples,
estimating procedures, etc., as well as estimates of merchant wholesalers
sales and inventories, unadjusted and seasonally adjusted, by kind of
business, appear each month in the Monthly Wholesale Trade Report.
See also the February 1961, February 1966. and July 1974 Monthly
Wholesale Trade Reports, as well as the report Monthly Wholesale
Trade, Sales and Inventories: January 1967-August 1977 (Revised), for
details concerning the introduction of the revised samples. These
publications are available from the Bureau of the Census, Washington,
D.C. 20233.
The sales and inventory data are adjusted for seasonal variation and,
in the case of sales, also for trading-day differences, by the use of
factors developed by the Bureau of the Census using the X-ll version
of the Census Method II seasonal adjustment program. A description of
this technique is available from the Chief, Business Division, Bureau
of the Census.

Analysis and Bureau of the Census. The monthly data for stock-sales
ratios are based on the seasonally adjusted sales and inventory series for
manufacturing and trade. The ratios for each month are derived by
dividing end-of-month inventory book values by total sales during the
month. The ratios for a given year are derived by dividing the weighted
average of seasonally adjusted inventories (using the 13 observations
including the yearend figures for the preceding and current year) by the
monthly average of unadjusted sales for that year. No adjustments have
been made to bring inventory book values, which are typically valued at
the lower of cost or market, up to the level of selling prices.
Stock-sales ratios are frequently used in evaluating the current position of inventory holdings. While they are useful in this respect, considerable caution must be used in such analyses. In addition to the
problem of selecting a "normal" historical period for use as a frame of
reference, appraisal is rendered difficult by the many cyclical and
secular factors that are operative. Furthermore, stock-sales ratios in
recent years have exhibited a progressively larger downward bias due
to the valuation of inventories at historical or acquisition prices. This




problem has been aggravated by the recent high rates of inflation a
the increased incidence of LIFO as the basis for inventory valuati*
From a cyclical point of view, stock -sales ratios are genera
inversely related to business activity; that is, the ratios tend to rise
sales decline and fall as sales rise. Typically, the change in direction
the inventory movement tends to occur some time after the turn
sales. Over the longer run, stock-sales ratios are affected by changi
efficiencies in the handling of inventories due to such factors as i
provements in transportation, better control by management, increasi
use of electronic data processing machines, and other changes
technology.

The series represents sales of durable goods products directly exporte
by manufacturers. This sector of the export market covers appro*
materly two-thirds of the value of all products (durable and nondurable
directly exported by manufacturers and about two-fifths of tot;
exports of manufactured products.
The estimates are obtained from a sample of companies exportir
durable goods that accounted for approximately 75 percent of th
value of such products exported. The reporting panel was originall
developed from the larger panel included in the Census Bureau's Surve
of the Origin of Exports of Manufactured Products: 1960. The surve
included all manufacturing plants of 100 or more employees wit
exports of $25,000 or more in 1960. The following measures were use
in selecting companies to be included in the monthly survey: (1) Th
company was engaged in exporting durable goods according to th
1960 Survey of the Origin of Exports of Manufactured Products an
such exports exceeded $5 million in 1960; and (2) the company wa
included in the monthly survey for the manufacturers' shipment;
inventories, and orders series (described in note 2 for this page.) Th
level of manufacturers' sales for export in October 1962 was estimate*
from the annual 1960 totals for each industry group to be published
The 1960 data of the establishments of the companies classified in eacl
industry category of the survey were aggregated to company industr
totals and divided into the October 1962 export sales reported by thesi
companies. The comparable industry published totals in 1960 wer>
multiplied by this ratio to estimate the October 1962 industry grouj
total sales for export.
Seasonally adjusted data became available in August 1968 and wer<
published for the first time in the September 1968 issue of th<
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. The data were seasonal!}
adjusted by the Bureau of the Census using the X-ll version of Census
Method II (specifications for this method appear in Technical Paper No
15: The X-ll Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal Adjustmenl
Program, available from the Chief, Statistical Indicators Division
Bureau of Economic Analysis, Washington, D.C. 20230). The data have
been adjusted for reporting period variations in individual respondents
reports but have not been adjusted for trading days since tests indicated
no measurable trading day variations.
In addition to the estimates for manufacturers' export sales for total
durable goods industries shown in this volume, the original reports,
entitled Manufacturers' Export Sales and Orders of Durable Goods.
Series: M4-A, provide export sales for a limited number of durable
goods industry groups and export data for new and unfilled orders for
durable goods industries, excluding motor vehicles and parts, and for a
limited number of other durable industry groups.
A statement giving detailed information regarding methodology is
available upon request from the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department
of Commerce (Washington, D.C. 20233). See also the Current Industrial
Report, Manufacturers' Export Sales and Orders of Durable Goods

ie term "shipments" as used here represents manufacturers* receipts,
the value of products shipped, less discounts, returns, and allowances,
d excluding freight charges and excise taxes. Shipments for export as
sll as for domestic use are included. Shipments by foreign subsidiaries
e excluded, but shipments to a foreign subsidiary by a domestic firm
e included. The shipments figures from the Annual Survey of Manuctures to which the current series is benchmarked include interplant
insfers as well as commercial sales.
Inventory data are book values of stocks on hand at the end of the
jriod, and include materials and supplies, goods in process, and
nished goods. Inventories associated with the nonmanufacturing
;tivities of the company are excluded. In general, inventories are as
ilued by the manufacturer.
The series for new orders represents new orders net of cancellations
;ceived during the period. Unfilled orders at the end of a reporting
sriod are orders that have not passed through the sales account and are
jual to unfilled orders at the beginning of the period plus net new
rders received during the period less net sales.
The manufacturers' shipments, inventories, and orders survey pro.des monthly figures that are comparable to the annual totals published
ich year in the annual survey of manufactures. The sample panel is
rawn as a sub sample of the approximately 70,000 establishments in
ie annual survey of manufactures. The monthly reporting panel consts of approximately 3,800 reporting units and includes virtually all
Dmpanies with 1,000 or more employees, as well as selected mediumae companies that strengthen the sample companies in individual
idustry categories. The panel is supplemented on a current basis by
icluding all manufacturing operations acquired or initiated by companies
bread y in the sample. When company reorganizations, mergers, and
hanges in ownership result in new successor firms, these are retained in
he reporting panel. Also, the sample is updated periodically from the
,st of new manufacturing concerns added to subsequent annual surveys
f manufactures. The reporting unit typically comprises the entire
perations of a company although at the request of the Census Bureau
nany of the larger diversified companies file separate divisional type
eports for their operations in different industries.
Estimates of shipments, inventories, and orders are obtained for
;ach detailed category by multiplying the estimate for the preceding
nonth by the link relatives based on a matched sample of reporting
companies or divisions. The data for each company are inflated by their
ample weights before being summarized. The figures for net new
>rders are derived from the shipments plus net change in unfilled orders
"or each industry category. Estimates for subtotals and totals are
>btained by aggregating the related component categories within the
series. The shipments and inventory estimates are adjusted annually to



the establishment benchmark levels from the annual survey of
manufactures.
The series for shipments and new orders are adjusted for the number
of trading days and length of the calendar month period prior to seasonal
adjustment. New orders are not independently seasonally adjusted but
are derived from the seasonally adjusted shipments and the change in
the seasonally adjusted unfilled orders. The component series are
seasonally adjusted by the Bureau of the Census using the X-ll version
of Census Method II (specifications for this method appear in the
Bureau of the Census Technical Paper No. 15: The X-ll Variant of the
Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment program, available from the
Chief, Statistical Indicators Division, Bureau of Economics Analysis,
Washington, D.C. 20230).
The figures for manufacturers' shipments, inventories, and orders
published in this edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS and beginning
with the January 1977 issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
reflect the latest revision of those series introduced by the Census
Bureau in January 1977. (General explanations of the previous revisions
to the series appear in the 1975 and earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS.)
The January 1977 revision reflects (1) benchmarking of the shipments and inventory data to the most recent levels available from the
1972 Census of Manufactures and the 1973 Annual Survey of Manufactures; (2) adjustment of the levels for selected unfilled orders series;
(3) recalculation of the new orders estimates; (4) conversion from the
1967 to the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification; and (5) updating
of seasonal adjustment factors. For most of the series revised data are
available back to January 1958. A detailed description of the manufacturers' shipments, inventories, and orders is shown, together with
historical data for all currently available series, in the Current Industrial
Report, Manufacturers' Shipments, Inventories, and Orders: 1958-1976

that is involved in a court proceeding or a voluntary action that is likel]
to end in loss to creditors." All industrial and commercial enterprise;
that are petitioned into the Federal Bankruptcy Courts are included ii
the failure records. Also included are: Concerns which are forced out ol
business through such actions in the State courts as foreclosure
execution, and attachments with insufficient assets to cover all claims
concerns involved in court actions such as receivership, reorganization
or arrangement; voluntary discontinuances with known loss to creditors
and voluntary compromises with creditors out of court, where
obtainable.
The series shown for liabilities represent approximately current
liabilities (i.e., all accounts and notes payable and all 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 long-term publicly held obligations. Offsetting assets are
not taken into account.
The failure data shown in the table through June 1975 are for 48
States and the District of Columbia; data beginning July 1975 include
Hawaii, and beginning September 1976, they include Alaska. Data for
all years shown here exclude railroad failures and such activities as
banks, financial companies, holding companies, real estate and insurance
brokers, amusement enterprises, shipping agents, tourist companies,
transportation terminals, etc.
The classification of the failure records by industries conforms to
the "Standard Industrial Classification Manual," in order to facilitate
direct comparison between failures and any other series of data based
on the same official code.

BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1977 EDITION

The failure index relates the number of failures in each month to
number of industrial and commercial enterprises listed in the Dun &
Istreet Reference Book. It shows the annual rate at whicti business
:erns would fail if the number of failures and concerns listed in that
ith prevailed for an entire year. The index is expressed as the annual
iber of failures per 10,000 listed industrial and commercial
;rprises. The "unadjusted" figures have been slightly adjusted to
ilize, insofar as possible, the number of working days each month,
jonal fluctuations have been removed in the adjusted index by a
hod using deviations from a 12-month moving average.
Monthly data for 1947-72 for the series indicated by a star are in
appendix to this volume; comparable monthly data for all series for
9-72 (except those for the unadjusted failure indexes prior to 1955

icial estimates of prices received by farmers for their products sold at
al markets-point of first sale—or at the point to which farmers
iver their products.
The reported prices received by farmers are tabulated and averaged
crop-reporting districts. These district averages are weighted by
trict sales or production estimates to obtain weighted State averages
1 provide the primary basis for the official estimates. State estimates
average prices are weighted by State marketing or production estiites to arrive at national averages.
In computing the subgroup indexes, weights are applied to the U.S.
srage prices to obtain aggregates for individual commodity groups,
eights for 1910 through 1934 were average quantities sold by farmers
: the 6-year period 1924-29; from January 1935 to September 1952,
sights were 5-year averages of sales by farmers during 1937-41.
ptember 1952 to January 1965 index subgroups were weighted by
e 1953-57 average marketing year sales and for individual items
53-57 calendar year sales were used. Indexes for 1965 forward are
sed on calendar year marketings for 1971-1973.
For combining the various subgroup indexes into an all-crop, an
-livestock and livestock products, and an all-farm-products index,
sights are percentages based on average cash receipts of farmers (with
justments to reflect imputed weights for items not included in the
iex) for the four periods, 1924-29, 193741, 1953-57, and 1971-73.
There are 45 commodities represented in the index as of January
>77. These items accounted for about 91 percent of total cash receipts
3m farm marketings during 1971-73. Data for some commodities are
>t available back to 1910 (the earliest year for which the index was
unputed). Major changes in index commodity coverage were: the
Ldition of 11 commercial vegetable crops in January 1924, and soysans, grain sorghums, turkeys, cantaloupes, cucumbers, and waterelons in January 1935. After 1935, the number of commodity index
sms remained nearly constant; some fresh market fruits and vegetables
ere dropped but processing vegetables added. In the 1976 revision of
ie index commodity weights, 11 items were dropped for the revised
dexes starting in 1965. Items dropped were rye, American-Egyptian
>tton, grapes, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, sheep, lambs, wool, milk
tail, milkfat in cream, and chickens. One item, broilers, was added to
ie index.



The indexes shown here are not adjusted for seasonal variation. The
original reports have adjusted indexes for five subgroups-fresh market
fruit; fresh market vegetables; potatoes, sweetpotatoes, and dry edible
beans; dairy products; and poultry and eggs.
The index of prices received by farmers was last revised in May 1976
when the weight base period was changed from 1953-57 to 1971-73.

Statistics, and Cooperatives Service for the technical report. For

Paid by Farmers, including Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates, is a
measure of the changes that occur in the level of prices paid by farmers
and their families for commodities and services used in living and farm
production. In addition to commodities, the combined index (Parity

1977 STATISTICAL

43

TO THE

Index) includes data for interest per acre on indebtedness secured by
farm real estate, taxes per acre on farm real estate, and cash wage rates
paid hired farm labor.
Prices paid by farmers are compiled primarily from data reported
(1976) by over 20,000 independent retail merchants and chain stores,
and costs of electricity and telephone services reported by about
20,000 farmers. Data were collected annually from 1910-22 and
quarterly from 1923-36. Starting in 1937 feed and feeder livestock
were surveyed monthly. Most independent store surveys were made
quarterly, some semknnually, and others seasonally. Chain-store reports
for nearly all family living items were collected each month of the year
starting in 1960. Prices paid for individual commodities were estimated
by individual States, and then weighted by estimates of purchases of
the commodity by farmers in each State to obtain an average for the
country as a whole. Survey procedures and frequency were changed in
1977. See Agricultural Prices, January 1977 for program changes (available from U.S. Department of Agriculture; Economics, Statistics, and
Cooperatives Service;Crop Reporting Board).
For the period 1910 to March 1935, indexes for the several commodity groups were constructed by weighting prices of individual
commodities by the average quantities estimated to have been purchased
per farm during 1924-29; for the period March 1935 to September
1952 weights were based on 1937-41 purchasing patterns. For the
period September 19524964 weights were based on 1955 expenditures
and for 1965 forward 1971-73 expenditures. The commodity^roup
indexes are combined into an
representing commodities used in
both living and production, together with interest, taxes, and wage rates
paid hired farm labor, by weighting the group indexes in proportion to
the percentage of total expenditures represented by the commodities
and services in the corresponding groups in the respective periods.

The Parity Ratio is the quotient obtained by dividing the Ind«
of Prices Received by Farmers by the Parity Index (Prices Paid, Inclu<
ing Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates), both indexes on tl
1910-14=100 base.

The Parity Ratio is obtained by dividing the Index of Prices Received
by Farmers by the Index of Prices Paid, including Interest, Taxes, and
Farm Wage Rates (Parity Index), both indexes on the 191044=100
base. It measures whether the prices farmers receive for farm products
are, on the average, higher or lower than prices they pay for goods and
services in rektion to the base period, 191044.
A ratio that incorporates and reflects government payments made
directly to farmers is identified as an "Adjusted Parity Ratio". It is
described in detail in the January 1964 issue of Agricultural Prices.
Monthly data for the Adjusted Parity Ratio appear in the January
issues of Agricultural Prices each year since 1964. (A monthly
"preliminary Adjusted Parity Ratio" is described in the April 1967
issue of Agricultural Prices and the figures appear in each monthly
issue thereafter). Annual data for 1933-76 are shown in the table below:

The Consumer Price Index is a statistical measure of change in prices c
goods and services bought by urban wage earners and clerical workei
(families and single persons living alone). It is calculated by comparini
from one period to the next, the cost of a "market basket" of good
and services usually purchased by this particular population group.
The index as published in this issue of BUSINESS STATISTICS, an
beginning with the March 1971 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
reflects the series converted to the new reference base, 1967=100
Indexes on the new base were first published by the Bureau of Labo
Statistics for January 1971. (As a convenience to users of this inde>
the Bureau of Labor Statistics is continuing publication of the Unitei
States "all items" index on the 1957-59 reference base.) The geners
concept and methods used in computing the present index were no
affected by the 1971 conversion to the 1967 reference base period
The last major revision of the index was completed in Decembe
1963. Effective with the January 1964 index, the series is the "new1
series and reflects the following major changes: (1) Updated weightM]
factors and price data base; (2) improvements in statistical procedures
(3) a more comprehensive index covering single workers living alone a
well as families of wage earners and clerical workers; (4) expansion o
the "market basket" from 325 to 400 items; and (5) a revised sample o:
50 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA's) and cities in th(
United States including Alaska and Hawaii (56 SMSA's and citie:
beginning January 1966). The "new" series has been linked to theolc

BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1977 EDITION

Df December 1963 to provide continuous series. The next major
sion of the index is scheduled to be completed in early 1978.
Details regarding the major revision effective with the January 1953
ex, as well as information pertaining to the 1962 conversion of the
isumer Price Index to the 1957-59 reference base, appear in the
i3 and earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS; a description of
interim adjustment of the index for the 1950-52 period appears in
1953 issue of BUSINESS STATISTICS. For a description of the
H revision program, see "Updating the Consumer Price Index—an
rview" (Reprint No. 2979) from the July 1974 Monthly Labor
dew.
The description of the Consumer Price Index in the following
agraphs applies mainly to the series beginning January 1964.
The quantity and quality of items contained in the market basket
held constant except at times of weight revisions. The Consumer
ce Index reflects, therefore, only changes in prices and none of the
ler factors that affect family living expenses, such as change in family
nposition; it tells nothing about changes in the kinds and amounts of
>ds and services families buy, or the total amount families spend for
jig, or the differences in living costs in different places. Data are
npiled separately for the individual SMSA's and the smaller urban
as in which prices are collected and are combined by population
ights to obtain the index for the United States.
The index is of the weighted aggregative type. When it was first
ued in 1919 (with index data going back to 1913), the time-to-time
inges in retail prices were weighted according to expenditures of
ge earners and clerical workers in large cities during 1917-19. At
:ee different times it has been necessary to modernize the samples
d methods of calculation of the index and to bring up to date the
larket basket" of goods and services included. The index numbers as
rrently published utilize the 1917-19 expenditure weights for the
13-24 period; 1934-36 expenditure weights for the 193049 period;
d the average of the two sets of weights for the intervening period of
25-29. Weights for 1950-52 represent 194749 spending patterns, and
ose used beginning January 1953 were estimated 1952 spending
tterns, based on a study of consumer expenditures in 1950. (Pending
mpletion of the major revision made in January 1953, certain interim
justments were made in 1951 and the indexes were recalculated back
January 1950-except data for "all items" and "rent" which were
vised back to January 1940 to correct for a bias in the rent index.)
eighting factors for the series beginning January 1964 were derived
Dm reported expenditures of a carefully selected sample of wagerner and clerical-worker families and individuals in 1960-61 and
ljusted for price changes between the survey dates and 1963.
In the 1964 revision a new "market basket" for the index was
;veloped, many important improvements in pricing and calculation
ethods were introduced, and prices were obtained from a sample of
3 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas and 17 smaller cities
lected to represent all urban places in the United States including
kska and Hawaii (instead of 46 cities as formerly). Six additional
•eas (Cincinnati, Houston, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Minneapolis-St.
lul, and San Diego) were added to the national index in January 1966.
hese six areas were "linked" into the Consumer Price Index as of
ecember 1965 and were first used in calculating the December
965-January 1966 price change. Each of the six areas represents only
self in the index. (The selection of the city sample is described in the
evised City Sample for the Consumer Price Index, Reprint No. 2352
•om the October 1960 Monthly Labor Review.) All features of the
964 revision were incorporated into the index beginning with data for
anuary 1964. A continuous series was obtained by linking (splicing)
ic new indexes beginning January 1964 to the series through
December 1963._
The goods and services covered by the index are those customarily
lentified as "purchased for daily living" items. Prior to January 1964
bout 325 items were priced, with the basis of the sample selection
eing the most important items in family spending. In the current series
bout 400 items are priced, with the basis of the sample selection being
probability proportionate to importance in consumer spending. Every
tern is not priced in every city, however. In order to make possible
'Stimates of sampling error, two subsamples of items have been
sstablished. Each subsample includes the more important (or certainty)
tems and a probability sample of the less important goods and services.
The subsamples of items are priced in different cities and in different
mtlet samples. Thus, all of the more important items are priced in all
>f the 56 cities (50 areas in 1964 and 1965), while those of lesser
mportance are priced in either of two subsamples of cities. Detailed
specifications are used for the items so that, insofar as possible, prices

are obtained for articles of the same quality in successive price periods;
however, deviation from specification under prescribed conditions is
permitted.
Among the important additions to the pricing list effective with
1964 are between-meal snacks, hotel and motel rooms, demountable air
conditioners, garbage disposal units, moving expenses, parking fees,
taxicabs, airplane and intercity bus fares, outboard motors, phonograph
records, golf fees, college tuition and textbooks, music lessons, legal
services, and funeral services. Examples of a few items in the "old
basket" that were not carried over to the "new" include lemons,
women's nightgowns, men's pajamas, appendectomies, and sewing
machines. Federal, State, and city taxes are reflected in the index for
the items on which they are imposed. Property taxes are included in the
cost of homeownership and implicitly included in rental costs. Neither
income taxes, personal property taxes, nor social security taxes are
included.
The current index contains a number of changes in the list of
published group and subgroup indexes. Groups and subgroups not
previously published are "shelter" (includes rent of house or apartment,
hotel and motel rates, and costs of homeownership); "homeownership"
(includes home purchase, mortgage interest, taxes, insurance, and
repairs and maintenance); "fuel and utilities" (includes fuel oil, coal, gas,
electricity, telephone, water and sewerage service); and "health and
recreation." "Household furnishings and operation" includes housefurnishings and housekeeping supplies and services. The former "housefurnishings" and "household operation" indexes have been discontinued, but housefurnishings is published as a special group. The former
"apparel" group has been redefined to include laundry and drycleaning
of apparel (formerly included in household operation) and is now
termed "apparel and upkeep." A number of the "special" group
indexes were redefined; the most important change being in the
reclassification of home purchase from a service to a durable
commodity.
The food component includes both food at home and food away
from home (restaurant meals and other food bought and eaten away
from home). Prior to the revision made in January 1953, prices for
"food away from home" were estimated to move like prices for "food
at home," but since that date have been measured by prices for
restaurant meals. (See the technical notes, Food Distribution Changes
and the Consumer Price Index, Reprint No. 2434 from the January
1964 Monthly Labor Review; Calculation of Average Retail Food
Prices, published in the January 1965 issue of the Monthly Labor
Review; and Revision of the CPI Food Outlet Sample, Reprint No.
2563 from the January 1968 Monthly Labor Review.)
The medical care index includes prices for several drugs and
prescriptions; physician's services (home and office visit); eye examination and eyeglasses; dentists' fees (fillings, extractions, and denture-full
upper); pediatrician's office visits; obstetrical cases; psychiatrist's office
visits; chiropractor's or podiatrist's office visits; laboratory tests outside
hospital; herniorrhaphy; and hospital services (including room charges).
In the revised index a major change was made in the treatment of the
health insurance component of medical care. Pricing of actual premium
rates for family group contracts has been discontinued, and health
insurance is now represented by prices for a number of hospital and
professional services for which claims are paid, plus a small portion
representing the insurer's earnings or "overhead." For details on health
insurance see the technical note, Health Insurance in the Revised CPI,
in the November 1964 Monthly Labor Review (see also the September
1957 Monthly Labor Review; Reprint No. 2251).
The housing index measures changes in rental costs and in items of
expense connected with the acquisition and operation of a home. Prior
to the 1953 revision the cost of acquisition of a home was considered
an investment and was excluded from the index coverage. Detailed
information on the housing component is available in the February and
April 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 private transportation index includes prices paid by urban
consumers for new and used automobiles, gasoline, motor oil, tkes,
repairs and maintenance, insurance, registration fees, driver's licenses,
and parking fees. City bus, streetcar, subway, taxicab, intercity bus,
airplane, and railroad coach fares, make up the public transportation
index. Additional information may be found in the August 1956
Monthly Labor Review (Reprint No. 2202), the November 1960 full
Consumer Price Index Report, and the May 1961 Monthly Labor
Review (Reprint No. 2368).

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Foods, fuels, and several other items are priced monthly in each
urban location. Prices of most other goods and services are obtained on
a regular rotating pricing cycle-monthly in the five largest urban areas
and every 3 months in all other places. Most prices are obtained by
personal visit of BLS agents.
As previously stated, the quantity weights currently used (beginning
1964) represent the average purchases of urban wage earners and
clerical workers (including single workers) in the years 1960-61. The
basic information for this weight calculation was obtained from the
1960-61 Survey of Consumer Expenditures in 66 urban places, adjusted
for price changes between the survey dates and 1963. At first, only 50
of the 66 areas comprised the list of urban areas in which price
quotations were obtained for the index. Six additional areas were
surveyed in 1963 and added in 1965 to the list of priced cities.
Samples for the survey for the current series included over 4,900
urban wage-earner and clerical-worker families and over 580 single
workers. The average family size was about 3.7 persons and the average
family income in 1960-61 after taxes was about $6,230; the average
income after taxes of single persons represented in the index was about
$3,560. In the new index more than half of the total family income is
from wage-earner or clerical-worker occupations, with at least one
family member being employed for 37 weeks or more during the survey
year in wage-earner or clerical-worker occupations; no criterion as to
family income was observed except the preceding qualification. (In the
old series, index families were defined on the basis of the occupation of
the head of the household only, and families whose 1950 total family
income after taxes exceeded $10,000 were excluded.)
In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each
location are averaged together with weights that represent their
importance in the spending of all wage earners and clerical workers.
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area and smaller urban area data are
then combined in the total index with weights based on the 1960 urban
wage earner and clerical worker populations of SMSA's and areas they
represent. Two-fifths of the weight is carried by the 12 largest SMSA's,
more than one-fourth by the 17 SMSA's selected to represent the 56
SMSA's with urban populations of 250,000 to 1,400,000; nearly 14
percent by the 10 SMSA's selected to represent the 145 SMSA's with
urban populations of 50,000 to 250,000; and one-fifth by the 17 urban
places selected to represent the over 3,000 towns with population
ranging from 2,500 to 50,000. The index numbers are computed on the
1967=100 reference base; the all items index for the U.S. city average
and for selected SMSA's is also available (from BLS) on the
1957-59=100 base.
The individual SMSA indexes measure how much prices have changed
in a particular SMSA, from time to time, but they do not show whether
prices or living costs are higher or lower in one SMSA than in another.
In December 1976 the relative importance of the major groups of
goods and services priced for the Consumer Price Index was as follows:
Food, 23.667 percent; housing, 34.202; apparel and upkeep, 9.194;
transportation, 13.548; health and recreation, 19.013; and miscellaneous,
.376 percent.
Beginning January 1966 the BLS monthly releases show seasonally
adjusted national indexes which were computed for selected groups,
subgroups, and special groups where there is a significant seasonal
pattern of price change. The factors currently in use were derived by
the Census X-ll Seasonal Factor Method. These factors are updated in
January of each year, with data through December.
Monthly or quarterly data for 1947-72 (where available) for those
series indicated by a star appear in the appendix to this volume.
Historical data tables, some providing annual data prior to 1947 and
monthly or quarterly data prior to 1966, including the special group
indexes, are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.
Department of Labor (Washington, D.C. 20212).
Monthly releases of the U.S. Department of Labor contain, in
addition to the national average, indexes for areas grouped by size of
city, by region of the country, and for the following areas: Chicago;
Detroit; Los Angeles-Long Beach; New York; Philadelphia; Boston;
Houston; Minneapolis-St. Paul; Pittsburgh; Buffalo; Cleveland; Dallas;
Milwaukee; San Diego; Seattle; Washington; Atlanta; Baltimore; Cincinnati; Honolulu; Kansas City; St. Louis; and San Francisco-Oakland. Area
coverage includes the urban portion of the corresponding Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area except for New York and Chicago where
the more extensive Standard Consolidated Areas are used. Area
definitions are those established for the 1960 Census and do not
include revisions made since 1960.

Seasonally adjusted consumer prices are designed to eliminate the
effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the.
same magnitude every year—such as price movements resulting from
changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers,
holidays, and sales.
The factors used initially in computing the seasonal adjustment
indexes were derived by the BLS Seasonal Factor Method using data for
1956-65. The BLS Seasonal Factor Method was used to derive seasonal
factors thorugh 1975. In 1976, the Census X-ll method of seasonal
adjustment was used to revise the seasonal factors from 1967 forward.
Each January, the seasonal adjustment factors for the preceding 5 years

revised using the Census X-ll method. Detailed descriptions of BLS
sonal adjustment procedures are available upon request from the

e indexes of spot market prices represent monthly averages of the
esday indexes of prices on commodity markets and organized
changes. The Tuesday index is a measure of the price movement of
sensitive basic commodities whose markets are presumed to be
tong the first to be influenced by actual or anticipated changes in
Dnomic conditions. The commodities used in the index are either raw
iterials or products close to the initial production stage which are
tded through organized markets or through other markets whose
tivities are recorded in trade or Government publications. Highly
nicated comodities whose prices reflect relatively large fixed costs
3 not included. Of the 22 commodities, 9 are foodstuffs (butter,
coa beans, corn, cottonseed oil, hogs, krd, steers, sugar, and wheat)
d 13 are raw industrials (burlap, copper scrap, cotton, hides, lead
rap, print cloth, rosin, rubber, steel scrap, tallow, tin, wool tops, and

1C).

The Bureau of Labor Statistics also publishes four special group
dexes. They are livestock and products, metals, textiles and fibers,
id fats and oils. However, some of the 22 commodities (sugar, for
ample) do not fall into any of these four groupings, and some are
eluded in more than one (lard, for instance, is included in both the
restock and products index and in the fats and oils index).
The Tuesday index of spot market prices is not an abbreviated form
the comprehensive wholesale price index (described in note 2
slow), which is composed of approximately 2,800 items. It differs
om the wholesale price index in method of construction and
eighting as well as in coverage. In the wholesale price index, items are
eighted according to their relative importance based on gross value of
dpments, and the index is a weighted arithmetic mean. The spot
larket index, on the other hand, is an unweighted geometric mean of
le individual price relatives, i.e., the ratio of the current price to the
ise period price. In addition, foodstuffs constitute approximately 40
ercent of the total of 22 commodities in the spot market index, while
11 farm products and -processed foods and feeds together make up
3out 22 percent of the wholesale price index. The specific, restricted
Dverage of the spot market index is designed to make it more sensitive
3 current market developments than the comprehensive wholesale
rice index.
More detailed information is available in the Bureau of Labor
tatistics Report No. 157, Daily Spot Market Price Indexes and Prices,
anuary 1, 1957-December 31, 1959, issued February 1961, See also
ILS Bulletin No. 1910, Handbook of Methods (1976).
Through December 1968, spot market prices for each commodity
nd indexes for groups of commodities were published by the Bureau
>f Labor Statistics for each trading day on the workday following the
lay of reference; they were also available in a weekly summary released
>n Wednesday covering the week ending Tuesday. Beginning January
969, Tuesday spot prices are compiled by BLS for calculation of
ndexes on Thursday; these prices and indexes are released each Friday
.nd include data for the most recent Tuesday, the preceding Tuesday,
knd year ago indexes. A summary of the previous month's data and
nonthly averages of indexes usually appear in the BLS release for the
"irst Tuesday of the month.
The annual data shown here are simple arithmetic averages of the
nonthly data computed by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Monthly data for 1950-72 for the 22 commodities appear in the
tppendix to this volume. Monthly averages of daily spot market indexes

The index is designed to show the general rate and direction of the
composite of price movements in primary markets and the specific rates
and directions of price movements for individual commodities or
groups of commodities. It is designed to measure "real" price changes
between two periods of time, i.e., to measure price changes not
influenced by changes in quality, quantity, terms of sale, level of
distribution, unit priced or source of price. The term "wholesale" refers



to sales in large lots, not to prices received by wholesalers, jobbers, or
distributors. The prices used in constructing the index represent the
first important commercial transaction for each commodity. Later
transactions for the same item at other stages in the distribution cycle
are not included; however, as raw materials are transformed into
semifinished and finished goods, these goods are represented according
to their importance in primary markets. Most of the quotations are the
selling prices of selected manufacturers or other producers, or
prices quoted on organized exchanges or markets. Prices are exclusive
of excise taxes. The index does not measure the price movements of
retail transactions, transactions for services (except gas and electricity
to nonresidential users), construction, real estate, transportation, and
securities. The sample of priced items does not include printing and
publishing; however, values of the physical products of these industries,
such as books and magazines, were included in the weight universe for
the first time in 1958 and were assigned to the pulp, paper, and allied
products major group. The value of separate services performed for
others was excluded. Prices of many of the raw and finished materials
used in construction or in printing and publishing, such as lumber,
bricks, structural steel, millwork, paper, etc., are reflected in the index.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics' policy is to revise the Wholesale
Price Index weighting structure periodically when data from industrial
censuses become available, generally at 5-year intervals. Since January
1976, the new weighting structure incorporates values of net shipments
of commodities in 1972 as reported in the Census of Manufactures,
Census of Minerals Industries, and other sources (from 1967 through
1975, weights were based upon information from the 1963 industrial
censuses). The Wholesale Price Index concept remains basically unchanged and continuity of most series was maintained after the
weighting changes.
An extensive change in the commodity classification structure was
introduced in January 1967 to provide more index detail than formerly,
and to eliminate some inconsistencies in the earlier classification system.
A number of new indexes resulted from the reclassification, and some
former indexes were discontinued. The new indexes were recalculated
back to 1947 wherever possible. The new indexes and the components
affected by classification changes are individually footnoted in this
volume. Further details on the revised classification structure appear in
Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes, January 1967 (Final) and February
1967 (Final).
The index as published in the 1969,1967,1965, and 1963 issues of
BUSINESS STATISTICS and, beginning with the April 1962 SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS, reflects the series converted to the
reference base 1957-59=100. Indexes on the 1957-59 base were first
published by BLS beginning with the January 1962 index.
The index as published in the 1971 and subsequent volumes reflects
the series converted to the reference base 1967=100. Indexes were
published by BLS on the 1967=100 base with the January 1971 index.
The general concepts and methods used in the index are the same as
before the 1962 and 1971 conversions to the 1957-59 and 1967
reference bases. These rebasings of the wholesale price index were not
accompanied by a change in the base weights; the methodology
employed in converting to the new reference bases involved routine
arithmetical calculations that did not affect the continuity or statistical
comparability of the index series. Detailed information regarding the
conversion, as well as rebasing factors for all series in the wholesale
price index, are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Washington, D.C. 20212. See also Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes,
1962 (BLS Bulletin No. 1411); Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes
1963 (BLS Bulletin No. 1513); and Wholesale Prices and Price Incexes
January 1971.
The last general revision of the wholesale price index was completed
in early 1952. The principal changes from the old series were a
follows: (1) Increase in the commodity coverage from about 900 to
about 1,900 items (presently, about 2,800 items are included);
(2) change in the basis for weights from average sales for 1929-31 to
1947 sales (through 1951, the index weights for the old series wer<
based on average sales in the years 1929, 1930, and 1931 for farr
products and on average sales in 1929 and 1931 for all othe
commodities); (3) change in the base period from 1926 to 194749 (sec
the 2d through 5th paragraphs of this note for information regardini
adoption of 1957-59 reference base and new weighting and classifica
tion structures); 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.

46

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

The prices used in the index through 1951 are the simple arithmetic
averages of the four or five weekly prices for each month; each weekly
price is that which prevailed on a specific day of the week. From 1952
through 1966, the prices most often used were those that prevailed on a
particular day of the month—usually Tuesday of the week containing
the 15th of the month; beginning January 1967 prices relate, for the
most part, to the Tuesday of the week in which the 13th of the month
falls. For some commodities, however, another day may be selected as a
more representative trading day; e.g., some farm products are priced as
of Monday. 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 industry to quote prices on this basis.
The index is calculated as a weighted average of price changes. The
weights used in the index represent the total net selling value of
commodities (including the value of sales for export) produced;
processed in, or imported into the United States, including Alaska and
Hawaii, and flowing into primary markets. Values are f.o.b. production
point and exclusive of excise taxes; the values of interplant transfers,
military products, and goods sold at retail directly from producing
establishments are excluded. The weight universe includes values from
industries classified as manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, fishing,
mining, quarrying, well operation, and gas and electricity public
utilities. It includes values for goods competitive with those produced
in the producing sector of the economy, such as waste and scrap
materials. All systematic production is included, but individually priced
items, such as works of art, are excluded. Civilian goods normally
purchased by the Government are included, but production of military
goods is excluded. The wholesale price index refers to the private
producing sector of the economy and sales by the Government are
excluded; however, Government sales of electric power are included
since they are considered competitive with free market sales. The
import values include imports from foreign countries, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands.
The individual price series are combined into the index by
multiplying the value weight assigned each item by its current price
index and summing to obtain the current aggregate. The current
aggregates are totaled by subproduct classes, subgroups, major groups,
and all 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 price series in the index, as representative of prices
for a group of commodities, is assigned its own direct weight (the value
of shipments for sale of that individual commodity), plus the weight of
other commodities it was selected to represent in the index. Weights for
commodities not priced for the index are assigned to commodities that
are priced on the basis of similarity of price movements if data are
available for making such determinations.
Beginning January 1976 weights are based upon the industrial
censuses for 1972; from 1967 through 1975, on the 1963 censuses;
from 1958 through 1960 on the 1954 censuses; from 1955 through
1957, on an average of the dollar value of primary market transactions
In 1952 and 1953; and from 1947 through 1954, primarily on the
dollar value of transactions reported in the 1947 industrial censuses.
Effective January 1958, there was a major revision of the gas and
electricity components of the fuel, power, and lighting materials group
(renamed fuels and related products, and power in January 1961).
These components were renamed "gas fuels" and "electric power" to
point up the break in comparability between the former series and the
current series. The gas fuels index differs from the former gas index in
several respects: (1) The present index is a composite of two product
ekss indexes, utility gas (natural) and a series on liquefied petroleum
gas (the formerly published gas price index consisted of only one item,
natural gas); and (2) an improvement in pricing method—the price of
gas was formerly represented by end sale to industrial users, whereas in
the current series gas is priced at point of purchase by pipelines, usually
at the wellhead, and liquefied petroleum gas is priced at point of
purchase at the processor's plant. Natural gas indexes are published on a
2-month kg due to data collection and processing dekys.
Substantial changes were made in the electric power series in 1958.
The former series on electricity was based on average realized prices of
electricity for sale to all users and included a heavy proportion of
residential sales. The current series is based on commercial and industrial
only, and pricing is in terms of specified amounts of power consumption by commercial and industrial users. The current electric
power series is based on bills for two fixed kilowatt -hour quantities to
fodustrkl and commercial users; it will respond to change in rates only



and will not be affected by variables other than price, such as month!
variations in type of consumers or differential rates for krge volum
consumption. In December 1970, the electric power index was agai
revised to include indexes and average prices for the nine Census Regions
The sample size was expanded to include data for both publicly an<
privately owned utilities. The utilities are weighted within the public o
private sector to reflect their share of total electric power revenue
Public and private sectors are weighted to reflect their revenue proper
tions in each region. Each region is weighted to reflect its proportion o
total U.S. electric power revenues. The indexes are published by BLJ
on a one-month kg due to processing dekys in data collection.
For a more detailed description of the 1958 weighting structure anc
the revised gas fuels and electric power series, see the BLS monthlj
report, Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes, March 1958 Preliminary
report. See also Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes, 1958 (BLS Bulletii
No. 1257).
The wholesale price indexes by stage of processing (formerly titled
economic sector) show changes in commodity prices at various levels oJ
production and in various sectors of the economy. These indexes
permit more effective analysis of the underlying and divergenl
movements of commodity prices during periods of economic readjust
ment. The stage-of-processing classification comprises all commodities
included in the BLS detailed wholesale price index series; this classification supplements, but does not replace, the regukr ckssification oi
the wholesale price index by product industry groupings. The price
series used in the stage-of-processing index are the same as those used
for the wholesale price index. Whereas the wholesale price index
measures price movements for individual commodities and groups of
commodities, the stage-of-processing index combines wholesale prices
in accordance with selected economic criteria to facilitate analysis of
price 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
primarily on the amount of processing, manufacturing, or assembly to
which the commodities are subjected at various stages before they reach
the ultimate consumer. Commodities in the index are divided among
three major categories: (1) Raw or crude materials for further processing;
(2) intermediate materials, supplies, and components; and (3) finished
goods.
Crude materials for further processing (such as raw cotton, pains,
and natural rubber) include materials that are entering the economy for
the first time, having undergone no processing other than that required
to obtain them in their original form and prepare them for marketing.
Intermediate materials, supplies, and components are those commodities
that flow between manufacturing industries before finally reaching the
ultimate consumer after further changes in form. Finished goods are
commodities in their final state ready for use by the consumer; this
general category includes consumer goods, such as food, apparel, and
automobiles, and producer goods (frequently called capital equipment),
such as motor trucks and farm machinery.
The basic weights used for the state-of-processing indexes are the
same as those used generally in the wholesale price index. In the classification by sectors many commodities must be considered as falling into
more than one category; this has been taken into account in the relative
importance imputed to each commodity in each sector index. Whereever
required, the base weight for the commodity as used in the wholesale
price index is distributed among the stage-of-processing indexes in
accordance with data showing the relative proportions of the output of
the commodity, which are consumed at the various levels of processing.
For the period 1947-66, the basis of this distribution was the BLS interindustry study for the year 1947. Beginning in 1967, the 1958
interindustry study of the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic
Analysis was used as a guide. Beginning in 1976, the 1967 interindustry
study of the Bureau of Economic Analysis was used as a guide. In
assigning commodities to manufacturing and no manufacturing
industries, the Standard Industrkl Classification is used as a basis for
ckssification. In December 1976 the rektive importance of the major
groups for the sector index was as follows: Crude materials for further
processing, 10.932; intermediate materials, supplies, and components,
47.932; and finished goods, 41.136. (These relative importances are
based on 1972 value weights.)

The seasonally adjusted data tend to eliminate the effect of
changes that normally occur correspondingly in time and magnitude
each year. Such adjustments are made in price movements resulting
from normal weather patterns, regular production and supply cycles,
model changeovers, seasonal discounts and holidays. As seasonal factors
are revised each year, data are subject to change.

computed from indexes compiled by the U.S. Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The purchasing power of the dollar
measures changes in the quantity of goods and services a dollar will buy
at a particular date compared with a selected base date. It must be
defined in terms of: (1) The specific commodities and services that are
to be purchased with the dollar; (2) the market level (wholesale, retail,
etc.) at which they are purchased; and (3) the dates for which the
comparison is to be made. Thus, the purchasing power of the dollar for
a selected period, compared with another period, may be measured in
terms of a single commodity or a large group of commodities, for
example, all goods and services purchased by consumers at retail, or all
commodities sold in primary markets.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes two basic price indexes
that may be used to calculate the purchasing power of the dollar in the
United States: (1) The Wholesale Price Index (WPI), which relates to
prices at the primary market level, and (2) the Consumer Price Index
(CPI), which measures average changes in retail prices of goods and
services purchased by urban wage earners and clerical workers (families
and single persons living alone). The original indexes from which the
purchasing power series are computed are shown on pp. 43 and 46.
The purchasing power of the dollar is computed by dividing the
price index number for the base period by the price index number for
the date to be compared, and expressing the result in dollars and cents.
The base period is the period in which the price index averages 100.0
and in which purchasing power is $1.00. The foEowing table illustrates
the calculation of the purchasing power of the 1967 dollar and the June
1957 dollar in June 1967:

Thus, the first figure in column 5 expresses the June 1967 primary

a decline of 7 percent in purchasing power between June 1957 and

Data represent the value of new construction put in place during the
period.
Beginning with data for 1960, significant revisions have been made
as follows: (1) The series for new housing units has been revised to
incorporate the results of new procedures and to include farm housing,
which was previously included in the farm series (not shown separately
here); (2) starting with 1968, the series on nonresidential buildings is
based not only on the previously used survey data for the 37 Eastern
States but also on the results of the new survey conducted monthly by
the Bureau of the Census covering the 13 Western States; (3) the series
on farm construction has been revised to exclude farm housing; and (4)
other public utilities have been revised to incorporate later basic data
for 1967 through 1969, and to reflect new estimating procedures,
beginning 1970 while revised data for 1968-70 obtained from the
newly introduced Progress Reporting Survey for the 1 3 Western States,
were introduced into the private residential nonhousekeeping series.
Neither of the series in this last group is shown separately in BUSINESS
STATISTICS.
The new construction value-put-in-place data include estimates for
additions and alterations not shown separately. New construction
covers the complete original erection of buildings or structures other
than buildings, including essential service facilities and utilities.
Estimates of the value of construction activity include the cost of
architectural and engineering fees, materials and building-service equipment installed, charges for the use of construction equipment, labor,
overhead, and profit on construction operations. The estimates do not
include speculative profits, the cost of land, or the value of production,
processing, and other special purpose equipment that is not an integral
part of the building or structure itself.
The value-put-in-place estimates are intended to represent the value
of on-the-site work on all buildings and other structures under construction during a given period, regardless of when work on the individual
active project was started. This value represents a summation of the
cost of materials actually used or consumed during the period, regardless of when the materials were purchased or delivered to the site;
the cost of labor performed during the period; charges for use of
construction equipment during the period ; and proportionate aEowanees
for overhead costs, profit on construction operations, and the cost of
architectural and engineering services.
The distinction between private and public (Federal, State, and
local') construction is made on the basis of ownership not source of
funds.
Where the basic data for an individual series are not available on a
monthly basis, no monthly value-put-in-place estimates are published,
but monthly estimates are included in aE affected totals. The
methodology described below applies to the current estimating
procedures.
Value-in-place estimates for new private housing units (including
farm) are based on estimates of the number and average cost of new
housing units started each month. Estimates of the number of units
started in places requiring building permits for construction and in

53-54

BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1977 EDITION

ces not requiring permits are obtained separately from sample
veys conducted monthly by the Bureau of the Census. Average cost
imates for starts in areas that require building permits are based on
j average value of permits issued each month, adjusted for undertement in permit valuation and for the cost of architectural and
pneering work. The average cost estimate for single-family housing
its started in nonpermit areas is calculated from the average value
jorded on building permits issued for single-family units during each
mth, using the following formula:
Y = $6,010+ 0.34X
lere: Y = Average construction cost (in dollars) of nonpermit units
started in a given month.
X = Average permit valuation (in dollars) of one-family units
for which permits were issued in the same month.
us fixed relationship is based on a comparison of building permit
lues for single-family units authorized by building permits and
nstruction cost values for units started in nonpermit areas, both
mpiled by the Census Bureau on monthly surveys conducted during
e January 1960 to August 1962 period.
The combined total construction cost of units started each month in
>th permit-issuing places and nonpermit areas is converted into
lue-put-in-place estimates in accordance with long-established
opess patterns.
Additions and alterations to private residential buildings are
timated on the basis of quarterly surveys of owners and renters of
sidential properties. No monthly estimates are published for this
ries.
Private nonresidential construction expenditure estimates are based
i a Monthly Construction Progress Survey conducted by the Bureau
? the Census. This survey uses four different sources for identifying
^residential projects: (1) Contract awards for building projects
sported by F.W. Dodge Division of McGraw-Hill Information Systems
ompany in the 37 Eastern States and the District of Columbia; (2)
uilding permits with values of $100,000 or more in permit-issuing
laces in the 13 Western States which are part of the reporting panel of
IQ Census Bureau's Building Permit Survey; (3) building permits with
dues of less than $100,000 from permit-issuing places in the Western
tates and which are part of the Census Bureau's Housing Starts Survey;
nd (4) projects in Western States in areas not covered by building
ermit systems as determined from an area sample which is also part of
le Housing Starts Survey.
A sample of building projects is selected from these sources and
lonthly progress reports are requested from the owners, builders, or
rchitects responsible for these buildings. In 1970, close to 330 new
rejects were sampled per month in the 50 States, about 6 percent of
he total number of projects from which the sample was drawn. With
he introduction of a new sampling in 1971, about 430 new projects are
elected each month in the East and 120 in the West. Estimates are
*epared from the sample data; they are adjusted for undercoverage and
ppropriate imputations are made for nonrespondents.
The procedure described in the preceding two paragraphs applies to
Lata beginning January 1968. Procedures applying to earlier data
ppear in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS or in the Census'
Construction Reports C30-668. The net effect of the new procedure is
o lower the estimates for total new private nonresidential building
lonstruetion for 1968 by 3.4 percent compared to the previously
mblished total. The previously published data have been gradually
educed starting in March 1965 and continuing through December 1967
i.e., 0.1 percent decrease in March 1965,0.2 in April 1965, etc., up to
£.4 percent in December 1967).
Annual farm nonresidential construction expenditure estimates are
prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the basis of a 1955
survey that provided benchmark data for that year. Estimates for
subsequent years are extrapolations, based on changes in farm income
md other relevant data since 1955. No monthly or quarterly estimates
ire published for this series.
Annual estimates for most privately owned public utilities (covering
construction expenditures by railroads and by electric light and power,
*as, and petroleum pipeline companies) are based on data obtained
from Federal regulatory agencies or from cooperating private companies
and trade associations. Preliminary current values for gas and electric
are from BEA's quarterly Plant and Equipment survey and railroad



values are from ICC quarterly survey. No monthly estimates are
published for these series.
Expenditure estimates for the telephone and telegraph category are
compiled monthly by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company
(telephone) and by Western Union Telegraph Company (telegraph).
Monthly expenditure estimates for State and locally owned public
construction are derived from monthly surveys (beginning September
1968; quarterly surveys prior thereto) conducted by the Bureau of the
Census. In these surveys, expenditures for construction are assumed to
represent the value of construction put-in-place during the previous
month.
Expenditure estimates for practically all types of federally owned
construction are based on reports compiled by the responsible Federal
agencies.
Seasonally adjusted indexes for all series, except farm construction,
including the series for which monthly values are estimated and not
published, have been computed by employing the current version of the
Census Bureau's Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program (Electronic
Computers and Business Indicators, Occasional Paper 57, National
Bureau of Economic Research, New York, 1957 and The X-ll Variant
of the Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program, Bureau of the
Census, February 1967). Seasonally adjusted values are computed for
all individual types of construction, and the values for individual types
are combined as required to obtain values for total series.
Monthly data for 1947-72 for series indicated by a star appear in the
appendix to this volume. Monthly estimates on a more detailed basis
are published currently by the Bureau of the Census in Construction
Report, Series C-30, Value of New Construction Put in Place, which is
available on a subscription basis. Monthly data for 1947-74 for all
series, as well as comprehensive explanations of the data appear in the
C30-74S, a special historical supplement to the monthly Construction
Reports C30 series.

Company. Data cover new construction, additions, and major alterations projects; maintenance work is excluded.
Beginning with January 1969, data cover construction in 50 States
and the District of Columbia. In the period 1956-68 data cover 48
contiguous States and the District of Columbia; prior to 1956, 37
Eastern States and the District of Columbia.
F.W. Dodge construction statistics are based on data obtained from:
Dodge Reports, permit place reports, publications, and sampling.
Permit place and sample information are used for one- and two-family
house data. The bulk of nonresidential and residential data is based,on
Dodge Reports.
The valuation figures contained in Dodge construction statistics
represent, as nearly as possible, actual construction costs. Construction
cost of a project is exclusive of land, architects fees, and, in the case of
manufacturing buildings, the cost of equipment which is not an integral
part of the structure.
The monthly indexes of total value of construction are based on
seasonally adjusted data. The annual indexes are based on annual
figures and are not averages of the monthly indexes. The annual indexes
for years prior to 1969 have been adjusted so as to make them
comparable to the 50 States series.
Monthly data for 1947-72 for series indicated by a star are in the
appendix to this volume; monthly data for 1956-72 for all other series
appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see reference
note, p. 1 of this section). Except for the index, the annual totals for
1956-76 reflect revisions not distributed to the monthly data.

New private housing units authorized by local building permits
relate to the time of issuance of permits rather than to the actual start
of construction. They do, however, provide some indication of activity
in residential building in advance of the start of actual construction.
Although construction is started on most residential buildings in the
same month in which the permit is issued, several months or more may
pass between the issuance of a permit and the start of construction. On
the average, for all types of structures combined, about 2 percent of
the units authorized by permits are not used at all and permitted to
lapse.
Beginning January 1972, the data are for 14,000 local building
permit systems that account for a major portion of the residential
building in the United States. From 1967 to 1972 the data covered
13,000 permit-issuing places; prior to 1967, they covered 12,000. For
the United States as a whole these permit-issuing places represented
about 85 percent of private residential building in 1967 and about 83
percent prior to that time.
Basically, the procedure followed in arriving at the monthly building
permit authorization totals involves the cumulating of monthly data
from all permit-issuing places that authorized 5 0 or more housing units
(20 or more in some States) in a recent year, with estimates for the less
active places based on a stratified probability sample of these places.
Monthly data for total new private housing units authorized for
1962-72 appear in the appendix to this volume. Monthly data for
1962-72 for one-family structures authorized appear in earHer editions
of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of this section).

rious construction cost indexes weighted by the relative importance
the major cksses of construction. They are implicit indexes computed
dividing the total seasonally adjusted estimate of new construction
tivity in current dollars by the total expressed in 1967 dollars. Since
s total in 1967 dollars is obtained by adding the estimates for the
parately deflated classes of construction, the composite cost index is
s equivalent of a variably weighted index, reflecting changes not only
the component indexes but also in relative importance of the major
isses of construction that are used as weights. In the computation of
e monthly composite cost index, the shift in the relative importance
the major classes of construction due to their different seasonal
Dvements is eliminated through the use of seasonally adjusted activity
timates. The annual composite index represents the ratio between the
nual value of total new construction put in place in current dollars
.d the comparable annual total in 1967 dollars.
The cost indexes currently used for calculating the construction
tivity series in 1967 prices and thus entering into the composite index

lildings; and commercial and factory buildings); The American
ppraisal Company (nonresidential building, selected types, and

n a detailed bill of quantities of materials and labor entering into the
aructural portion of four representative types of buildings—frame, brick,
Dncrete, and steel-in 30 cities throughout the United States, with
llowances for contractors' overhead and profits.
Building fixture items such as plumbing, heating, lighting, sprinkler
Astern, elevators, etc., are not included. Workmen's compensation and
ability insurance and old-age pension factors are included in the labor
ortion.
The indexes reflect changes in average price levels with no allowance
3r the extreme costs resulting from overtime wages, premium on
laterials, or sacrifice prices and omissions of overhead costs and profits
uring recession periods. The material and labor costs are recomputed
lonthly in accordance with normal average prices and wages for the
arious kinds and grades of materials and classes of building trades, as
erified or adjusted to normal from personal investigation of appraisers
nd information as to actual costs from clients and others. These
omputations automatically result in weighted averages for the individual
•uildings. Arithmetic averages are computed for the individual buildings
nd cities to obtain the city and national average. The latter covers 30
ities. The original reports give indexes for each of 22 typical cities, 4 of
/hich are presented here. Since these index figures are based on 1913
s 100 for each individual location, they indicate the trend in each city
nd not the trend among the various locations. Actual costs vary widely
.mong different buildings and different regions, and the indexes thereore are not applicable to specific buildings.

Birmingham, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver,
Detroit, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New Orleans, New
York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Seattle.
The reference base period selected assumes that 1926-29 average
costs throughout the United States (not for individual areas), for each
type of building, are equal to 100. Thus the individual area indexes
reflect both changes in costs and differences among the areas in the
level of costs.
Basic cost data on materials are obtained from local buildingmaterials dealers, in connection with the company's cost-pricing service.
Materials priced include common brick, common lumber, portland
cement, structural steel, heating and plumbing equipment, paint, glass,
and hardware. Prevailing rates of wages are obtained primarily from
contractors and building-trade associations. Actual wage rates are used,
rather than nominal rates, and rates of both common and skilled labor
are included. An arbitrary labor-efficiency correction is used, based on
the organization's study of labor conditions in each area. Weights are
based on studies of actual building costs by the organization and vary
with the different types of structure.

The Construction Cost Index and the Building Cost Index have four
components each, three material items and labor. The material items
for both indexes are: (1) The base price of structural steel shapes,
which from 1913 (the ENR base period) through July 1938 is at
Pittsburgh only and since then is a three-mill average for Pittsburgh,
Gary, and Birmingham; (2) consumers' net price of cement exclusive of
bags, f.o.b. Chicago, from 1913 through June 1948, and since then a
20-city average of f.o.b. bulk prices; (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 fir
in carload lots (ENR 20-city average). The labor component of the
Construction Cost Index, which is 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 for skilled labor. The labor rates are shown on p.
84 under construction wages.
The component series are weighted according to their relative
importance as determined by the compilers. As a step in arriving at
proper weights, the average production of steel and cement in the years
1913, 1916, and 1919, average production of lumber for 1913 and
1916, and the number of common industrial laborers, according to the
1910 Census, were placed on a dollar-value basis using 1913 average
prices as compiled by ENR whereever possible. These data are shown in
the following table:

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

It should be noted that these data represent total production in the
United States and not amounts used in the construction industry.
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 experienced construction
men. An expenditure of approximately $100 on the four items in these
proportions was assumed for 1913 (the ENR base period) and the
quantities of the three materials and the man-hours of labor that could
be purchased for these amounts were computed. Purchases of similar
quantities of these four items were assumed to be made at each sucdessive
period.
The expenditure of $100, at 1913 prices, for the proper quantities
of each item in the Construction Cost Index is given below, and it may
be noted that the "adjustment" mentioned above is an important
factor.
2,500 pounds of structural steel at $0.015
(Pittsburgh base) (see next paragraph below) . . .
6 barrels of cement at $1.19 (net barrel, f.o.b.
Chicago) (see 2d paragraph below)
600 board feet, Southern pine, 3" x 12" to 12" x 12"
at $28.50 per M ft. (New York base) (see 3d
paragraph below)

for country)

The adoption of the three-mill average for structural steel shapes in
August 1938 did not necessitate any change in the weighting of this
component.
In July 1948, when cement went off basing point pricing, the
20-city average cement price was substituted; no adjustment in the
weight factor was necessary.
For the Southern pine lumber series prior to 1936 the weight was
600 board feet. In linking this series with the series for 2" x 4" pine
and fir, the 1936 average value of lumber of the old type as included in
the index was first determined (quantity weight, 600 board feet, times
the average price for the year). The equivalent 1936 average value of
the new type was represented by 1,088 board feet of lumber, which
quantity is now used as the weighting factor.
The Building Cost Index is computed in 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 68.38 man-hours was
substituted for the common labor weight of 200 man-hours used in the
Construction Cost Index, as shown in the table above, in 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 $0.555, which gives approximately
$38.00. The trends of the two indexes reflect the divergent movements
of wage rates for common and skilled labor.

prices for fixed amounts of the following items: Common excavation;
surfacing (portland cement concrete pavement and bituminous concrete
pavement); and structures (reinforcing steel, structural steel, and
structural concrete). In more exact terms, the index is a price index,
measuring price changes for fixed amounts of the items represented.
The base quantities for 1967 involved in these data are as follows:
1,656,655,000 cubic yards of roadway excavation; 79,942,000 square
yards of portland cement concrete surfacing with an average thickness
of 8.7 inches; 51,230,000 tons of bituminous concrete surfacing;
981,587,000 pounds of reinforcing steel for structures; 885,235,000
pounds of structural steel; and 5,572,000 cubic yards of structural
concrete.
The annual figures are weighted averages derived from quarterly
data. Quarterly data for 1967-72 are in the 1971, 1973, and 1975
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS; those for 1962-65 are available
from the source upon request. Data back to 1939 for the index on the
1957-59= 100 base appear in the 1969 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Detailed discussions of the index appear in Public Roads

the composite index of output of construction materials measure
changes in the combined output of 10 groups of construction material
(data for 8 groups are compiled monthly and for 2 groups quarterly)
The groups represented in the composite, in addition to the group
shown here (i.e., iron and steel products, lumber and wood products
and portland cement), are as follows: Millwork; paint, varnish, anc
lacquer; asphalt products; heating equipment; clay constructioi
products; gypsum products; and plumbing fixtures (data for last twc
groups compiled quarterly). Beginning January 1972, the composite
measures changes in the combined output of 7 groups of constructior
materials (millwork, asphalt products, and heating equipment no longer
included). The items used in deriving the composite index accounted ir
1947 for approximately 50 percent of the estimated value of shipment!
of all construction materials.
The index for each group of construction materials represents the
production, sales, or shipments of one or more specific materials. The
source data consists of monthly or quarterly production, shipments, 01
sales for each item. The monthly or quarterly physical output of each
material is multiplied by its 1947 price to provide the value of such a
quantity of materials if it had been produced or shipped in 1947. The
resulting values of all materials constituting each group are added
together to yield aggregates for the group. The aggregates are converted
to index numbers by equating the 194749 monthly or quarterly
average to 100.
The seasonally adjusted composite index results from the weighted
aggregation of the seasonally adjusted group indexes. It is calculated by
the following procedure: (1) A monthly seasonally adjusted composite
series is derived from the 5 groups (8 groups through 1971) for which
monthly data are available; (2) a quarterly seasonally adjusted
composite series is derived from the preceding series; (3) a quarterly
seasonally adjusted composite series including the two quarterly series
(gypsum products and plumbing fixtures) is then calculated; (4) the
ratios of the indexes in the 7-group series (step 3) to their comparable
indexes in the 5-group series (step 2) are then used to adjust the
respective monthly index values of the series worked out in step 1.
The 5 monthly seasonally adjusted series (8 through 1971) are
derived and statistically evaluated by the electronic computer 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 is possible by the usual
ratio-to-moving-average method. Its significant features are: (1) The
ratio-to-moving-average technique is first applied to derive a preliminary
seasonally adjusted series (the procedure starts with ratios computed by
dividing the original observations by a 12-month moving average;
moving seasonal adjustment factors are computed from these ratios,
and a seasonally adjusted series is obtained by dividing these preliminary
seasonal adjustment factors into the original observations); (2) a graduation formula (a weighted 15-month moving average) is used as the
estimate of the trend-cycle curve used to obtain the final seasonally
adjusted series; (3) a measure of the irregular component of each series
is utilized to determine the type of moving average to fit the seasonal
irregular ratios (the larger the irregular component, the larger the
amount of smoothing that is carried out).
Monthly data for 1959-72 (except for 1961 data for lumber and
wood products) appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS
(see reference note, p. 1 of this section). For monthly indexes for
1947-54 see "Construction Materials Statistics," published by the

: home mortgage insurance the lender submits a completed FHA
plication form and any other required documents to the FHA
;uring office that serves the area in which the property to be covered
located. These data are limited to one- to four-family homes and
srefore are closely comparable to the VA program referred to below.
Requests for VA appraisals are requests for determination of
isonable value of homes to be built (or already built) for occupancy
veteran owners only; they may be initiated by the veteran, lender,
ilder, owner, or sponsor. For the most part the requests relate to
igle-family homes.
For both the FHA and VA series the seasonally adjusted annual rate
;ures are based on adjusted daily rates (which are derived by dividing
ta for a given month by the number of working days in that month;
., excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and National and Government
lidays).
The FHA and VA series indicate the importance of these
svernment programs in the field of new home construction. However,
rtain limitations in these series should be observed, particularly in
eir relation to other data. Although FHA and VA may make
spections during construction and the units may be counted as FHA
VA "starts," the permanent financing after completion is not always
iderwritten by FHA or VA. Also, some applications for FHA
immitments or requests for VA appraisals may not be approved or
ay lapse. There is some duplication of units in applications for FHA
unmitments and requests for VA appraisals. In cases where both

unpliance inspection reports the unit as a start, even though the
ortgage may finally be underwritten by the other agency or by

ndorsed for insurance by the Federal Housing Administration. The
ata represent the aggregate face amount of the insured mortgages.
Section 603-610 added to Title VI of the National Housing Act of
August 5, 1947, provided for mortgage insurance in connection with
he disposition of publicly owned housing. The first such insurance was
sported in December 1947.
The amendments of April 20, 1950, provided for mortgage
isurance under Section 8 on houses for families of low and moderate
icome, and for the insurance as single-family housing of site-fabricated
ffojects under Section 611 and of sales-type cooperative housing under
lection 213. Mortgage insurance under Section 8 was initially reported
n August 1950 and the insurance of single-family home mortgages
inder Section 213 and Section 611 in February 1951 and July 1951
espectively.
No insurance has been written under Sections 8, 603, 603-610, or
111 since August 2,1954, except pursuant to commitments outstanding
>n that date.
Section 903 was enacted September 1, 1951, to supplement the
sxisting systems of mortgage insurance in providing adequate housing in
lefense areas. The first mortgage insurance under this section was
eported in February 1952. No insurance has been written under this
ection since August 11, 1955, except pursuant to commitments
mtstanding on that date.
The amendments of August 2, 1954, provided for mortgage
nsurance under Section 203 (i) on single-family dwellings for families
>f low and moderate income, particularly in suburban and outlying
ureas (also farm homes). From 1950 to 1954, similar authority was
>rovided in Section 8 of Title I. Under Section 220 the amendments
srovided mortgage insurance to assist in financing the rehabilitation of




57

existing housing and the construction of new housing in slum clearance
and urban renewal areas where Federal aid to slum clearances or urban
renewal is being extended under the provisions of Title I of the
Housing Act of 1949, or where the community has an approved workable program for the prevention and elimination of slum and blight.
The first mortgage insurance under Section 220 was reported in
October 1956. The 1954 amendments also authorized the FHA to
insure under Section 221 mortgages on low-cost housing for families
displaced by reason of governmental action in a community that has a
workable program for the elimination and prevention of slums and
urban blight, or where a federally aided slum clearance and urban
redevelopment project is being carried out. The first mortgage insurance
under Section 221 was reported in April 1956.
Initially intended to assist in the relocation of families to be displaced as the result of governmental action, it was amended in 1961
to provide more liberal terms, to broaden the program to apply to lowand moderate-income families generally, and to eliminate the necessity
for a community to obtain approval of a workable program as a prerequisite for FHA insurance. The Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan
Development Act of 1966 further broadened Section 221 by adding
subsection (h), which provides for insurance on any mortgage executed
by a nonprofit organization to finance the purchase and rehabilitation
of deteriorating or substandard housing for subsequent resale to lowincome home purchasers.
Section 222, also added to Title II by the Housing Act of 1954,
established a system of mortgage insurance to aid in the provision of
housing for servicemen in the Armed Forces and the Coast Guard,
subject to certification by the Secretary of Defense (or the Secretary of
the Treasury) to the effect that the serviceman requires housing, is
serving on active duty, and has been on such duty for more than 2
years. The first mortgage insurance under Section 222 was reported in
November 1954.
Section 225, added by the Housing Act of 1954, authorized the
insurance under other operating programs of "open end" mortgages
containing a provision allowing the outstanding balance on the
mortgage to be increased to the original face amount to pay for repairs
or improvements, or to an amount exceeding the original face amount
by the cost of any additional living space. The first mortgage insurance
under Section 225 was reported in April 1955. No insurance has been
written under this section since November 1967.
Section 809 was added by legislation approved June 13, 1956, to
assist in financing the production of civilian owner-occupied housing
for employees of a research or development installation of one of the
military departments of the United States, upon certification by the
Secretary of Defense. The first mortgage insurance under Section 809
was reported in December 1956.
Section 810, added by the Housing Act of 1959, provided for
mortgage insurance on not more than 5,000 units of off-base housing
for military and essential civilian personnel of the Armed Services.
There has been no insuring activity to date under the home mortgage
provision of this section.
The various sections added by the Housing Act of 1961 under Title
II are described below:
Section 203(k), to finance major home improvements. The first
such insurance was reported in November 1961.
Section 220(h), to finance the improvement and rehabilitation of
homes and multifamily structures in urban renewal area. The first such
insurance was reported in October 1962.
Section 233, authorizing the insurance of mortgages on new one- to
four-family homes that involve the use and testing of advanced
technology or experimental neighborhood design, with the object of
reducing costs and improving quality. The Housing Act of 1964
extended the experimental provisions of this section to the rehabilitation of existing structures. The first mortgage insurance under Section
233 was reported in October 1964.
Section 234, authorizing FHA to insure a mortgage covering a
family unit in a multifamily structure and an undivided interest in the
common areas and facilities that serve the structure (condominiums).
The structure must be financed with a FHA-insured mortgage, other
than a Section 213 cooperative mortgage. The first mortgage insurance
under Section 234 was reported in June 1963.
The various sections added under the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, approved August 1,1968, are:
Section 203(m) under Title II, authorizes the insurance of mortgages
on seasonal homes. This program is not operational until a determination is made by the Secretary that there are adequate funds available

for financing residential construction. There has been no insuring
activity to date under this section.
Section 235 under Title II provides homeownership assistance for
lower income families in the form of periodic payments by FHA to
mortgagees which would reduce interest costs to the mortgagor on
market rate home mortgages. The first mortgage insurance under
section 235 was reported in October 1968.
Section 237 provides, on an experimental basis, mortgage insurance
to finance homeownership for certain lower income families who
cannot qualify under normal standards because of their poor records,
but who can meet mortgage payments with appropriate budget
financial counseling.

Source: Veterans Administration. Data represent the principal
amount of home loans guaranteed or insured under the authority of the
Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, as amended (now Chapter 37,
Title 38, U.S. Code). The act was approved June 22, 1944, but loanguaranty operations did not get under way until November 1944.
Monthly figures are on a calendar-month basis beginning October 1957;
earlier data end the 25th day of the month (September 1957 includes
the extra week of August 26-30).
Section 1810 (Title 38, U.S. Code) provides for the guaranty of
loans to veterans, the proceeds of which are to be used for purchasing
residential property or constructing a dwelling to be occupied as the
veteran's home or for the purpose of making repairs, alterations, or
improvements in property owned by him and occupied as his home.
Originally, only veterans of World War II were eligible. Korean conflict
veterans were made eligible by amendment to the Act in July 1952.
Public Law 89-358, approved March 3, 1966 extended eligibility to
veterans with service after January 31,1955, i.e., post-Korean veterans.
Originally, first mortgage home loans carried a guaranty of 50
percent of the loan, up to a maximum of $2,000; the maximum guaranty
was increased to $4,000 in December 1945. An amendment to the act
in 1950 provided, under certain conditions, that the amount guaranteed
may be 60 percent of the loan and not over $7,500; however, the
maximum guaranty was increased to $12,500 by legislation approved
May 7, 1968. Private lending institutions make the loans, with the
Government guaranteeing the loan within the limits stated above. Under
certain conditions the Veterans Administration is authorized to lend up
to $21,000 ($25,000 in Alaska) directly to the veteran when funds
from private sources are not available.
Monthly data for 1947-72 appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of this section). Monthly data for
1946 are available upon request. No earlier monthly figures are
available. The total amount of home loans guaranteed from November
1944 through December 1945 was $192,240,000.

Estimated by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board from data
reported monthly by insured savings and loan associations. These
estimates are based upon data reported by associations holding 97
percent of total savings and loan association resources.
Statistics presented are estimates of the amount of mortgage loans
closed during the specified periods by all institutions of the savingsand-loan type (including building and loan associations, cooperative
banks, homestead associations, and similar institutions). In general,
these estimated totals are derived by expanding mortgage loans made
by insured associations on the basis of the relationship between assets
of insured institutions and total assets of all such associations.
Only loans on homes (one- to four-family residential properties) are
included in the construction and purchase loan-purpose categories.
Loans on homes for any other purpose (e.g., refinancing, repairs and
reconditioning, taxes and insurance), loans on residential structures
with five or more family units, and all nonhome loans are grouped
under "all other purposes."




All federally chartered associations are required to be members

State chartered associations.

Source: Data are compiled by McCann-Erickson, Inc., and put
lished in Advertising Age. All series are based on national advertisin
and cover expenditures for media, talent, production, and any othc
expenditure borne by an advertiser. The indexes, therefore, are sensitiv
to both rate and volume changes. Data are for 50 States including Alask
and Hawaii.
The comparison base for all indexes is the average monthly expend
ture during the year 1967 for each medium.
Briefly, the method utilized in seasonally adjusting the monthl;
indexes for each medium involves the following steps: (1) Twelve-mont
moving totals of monthly expenditures are computed from past thre
years data for each medium; (2) these totals are then converted into
24-month moving averages, each of which in turn is divided into th
expenditure levels of its equivalent month over the past 3 years; anc
(3) these figures, when averaged for each individual month, become
the deseasonalizers for the coming year. When the expenditure figur
becomes available for a given month during the current year, it is divide
by its equivalent deseasonalizer in order to obtain a seasonally adjustec
figure. This figure is then divided by the average monthly figure for th<
year 1967 to obtain the index number for the given month. A new se
of twelve monthly deseasonalizers is individually prepared every yeai
for each medium.
The index of magazine advertising is based on the reports providec
by the Publishers Information Bureau, Inc. Monthly adjustments ar<
made to take into account the variation in number of issues of weekl}
magazines from month to month.

Data beginning January 1967 have been revised to exclude
activities classified in wholesale trade in the 1972 Standard Industrial
Classification Manual. In addition, nonstores (mail-order houses,
vending machine operators, door-to-door salesmen) have been removed
from the general merchandise poup (but remain in the nondurable and
all retail stores totals). These revisions help maintain comparability
of retail trade inventories and sales and avoid double counting in
the manufacturing and trade inventory total.
Further revisions will appear in the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS in the spring of 1978. These will include further SIC
revisions, adjustment to the 1976 Annual Retail Trade Report level,
and the introduction of revised seasonal factors.

companies which had 11 or more retail establishments at the time the
initial sample was selected from the 1974 Standard Statistical
Enterprise List and which, in addition, qualified for certainty selection.
To qualify for certainty, total annual sales of these companies (on a
1974 basis) had to exceed specified dollar volume cutoffs which varied
by kind of business. The certainty cutoff ranged from annual sales
of $2 million to $25 million or more.
In previous sample designs, the sole criteria for classifying a
company in this group was that the company had to have operated 11
or more retail stores at the time of the most recent retail Census. Under
the current sample design a company must meet both the establishment
and the certainty sale-size criteria to be included in the group.
Data for this group on the new sample were collected beginning
May 1977 only. There are no plans for presenting comparable data for
prior periods. Data on the old sample appear in the 1975 edition of

Report 463. "Concepts and Methods Used in Labor Force Statistics
Derived from the Current Population Survey," U.S. Department of
Labor.
Definitions of the major categories within which the civilian noninstitutional population is classified are given below.
Labor force.-The civilian labor force comprises the total of all
civilians who are either employed or unemployed, in accordance with
the criteria given below. The total labor force also includes the Armed
Forces (including those stationed abroad), as obtained from the Department of Defense.




68

Employed.—Employed persons comprise those who, during the
survey week, were either (a) "At work"—those who did any work for
pay or profit, or worked without pay for 15 hours or more on a family
farm or business; or (b) "With a job but not at work"-those who did
not work but had a job or business from which they were temporarily
absent because of vacation, illness, labor-management dispute, bad
weather, or because they were taking time off for various other reasons
(whether or not they received pay for the time off, or were seeking
other jobs). Each employed person is counted only once; those who
hold more than one job are counted in the job at which they worked
the greatest number of hours during the survey week.
Unemployed.-Unemployed persons comprise (a) those who did not
work at all during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a
job within the past 4 weeks, and who were avaikble for work during
the survey week; and (b) those who did not work at all, were available
for work, and were waiting to be called back from kyoff or were
waiting to report to a new wage or sakry job within 30 days.
Revised definitions for "employed" and "unemployed" persons
were adopted beginning with data for 1957 and again beginning with
data for 1967. Annual data for 1947-56 were adjusted to reflect the
1957 changes: Two groups of persons (averaging from 200,000 to
300,000 per month), formerly classified as part of the employed, "with
a job but not at work" group, were reckssified as unemployed.
Effective 1967, changes in the classification of persons as employed or
unemployed were made to identify more closely the employed and
unemployed as specifically defined above. Prior to 1967, the current
avaikbility test was not applied and the time period for job seek ing was
ambiguous. Also, prior to 1967, persons may have been counted as
unemployed if they were looking for another job while absent from
their present job during the survey week because of strikes, bad
weather, etc. Other changes were made in definitions, sample, and
coverage; figures for persons 14 and 15 years old were now to be
excluded. No adjustments to pre-1967 figures could be made for
changes in definitions, but where feasible, data back to 1947 were
revised to exclude persons under 16 years of age.
Long-term unemployment.-This group comprises those persons
unemployed 15 consecutive weeks or longer. Persons on kyoff are
included after 15 or more full weeks since the termination of their most
recent employment. If a person ceases to look for work for 2 weeks or
more (or is employed), the continuity of long-term unemployment is
broken. (For unemployment by various other periods of duration, see
Employment and Earnings, mentioned above.)
Not in the kbor force.—Civilians in the noninstitutional popuktion,
16 years of age and over, who are not ckssified as employed or unemployed are defined as "not in the kbor force." The group includes
those engaged in own home housework, in school, unable to work
because of long-term illness, retired, too old, seasonal workers for
whom the survey week fell in an "off" season (not reported as unemployed), persons who became discouraged and gave up the search for
work; and the voluntarily idle. Also included are those doing only
incidental unpaid family work (less than 15 hours) during the survey
week.
Nonagricultural employment in this series differs in levels and trends
from estimates compiled from establishment payrolls-see page 70 and
following pages. Factors such as definitions, coverage, and sources
account for the differences. This series, from the direct householdinterview survey, includes domestics and other private household
workers, self-employed persons, and unpaid family workers who worked
15 hours or more in the survey week in family-operated enterprises,
whereas the payroll or establishment survey covers only employees on
payrolls of nonagricultural establishments; persons holding more than
one job during the survey week are counted once in the household
survey, but multiple jobholders are counted each time (i.e., on each
payroll) in the establishment survey; and persons with a job but not at
work (i.e., absent because of bad weather, work stoppage, personal
reasons, etc.) are included in the household survey but are excluded
from the payroll survey if on leave without pay for the entire payroll
period.
Other detailed statistics avaikble monthly in Employment and Earnings are as follows: Employment status of the noninstitutional population by age, sex, and race; civilian kbor force participation rates by age,
sex, and race; full- and part-time status of the civilian kbor force by
age, sex, and race; unemployed persons by marital status, by reasons of
unemployment, by occupation of kst job, by duration of unemployment, and by jobsearch methods; unemployment rates for household
heads, for full- and part-time workers, and by industry of kst job;

employed persons by occupation and by class of workers, such as wage
and salary (with detailed data for private household workers, government, etc.), self employed, and unpaid family workers, in both
agricultural and nonagricultural industries; persons with a job but not at

appear in Employment and Earnings as follows: February 1977 issue,
1972-76; February 1976, 1967-71; February 1973, 1948-66; unadjusted
monthly data for agricultural and nonagricultural employment (1963-65,
1967-72) are in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see
reference note, p. 1 of this section). Monthly data for 1966 were
subsequently revised. In the 1965 and earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS, the data also include persons 14 and 15 years of age.

TO THE

OF CURRENT

7
Beginning April 1962, the labor force data are not strict
comparable with earlier figures because of the introduction of 196
Census data into the estimating procedure. The change primari]
affected the labor force and employment totals, which were reduced b
about 200,000 persons. The unemployment totals were virtual]
unchanged.
8

Beginning January 1972, the labor force data are not strict!
comparable with earlier figures because of the introduction of 197
Census data into the estimating procedure. The civilian noninstitutioru
population, 16 years of age and over (not shown in this volume), wg
raised by nearly 800,000 and the levels of the labor force and c
employment were increased by a little over 300,000; unemploymer
levels and rates were relatively unaffected.

Effective 1973, the Census Bureau's X-ll Variant of the Census
Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program has been used to adjust the
labor force data. (For pre-1967 data, the BLS Seasonal Factor Method
was used.) The X-ll method is an adaptation of the ratio-to-movingaverage method, with allowances for changing seasonal patterns. The
procedures used by the BLS incorporate refinements for ascertaining
the underlying trend and cyclical fluctuations and for handling irregular
values (including sampling errors and short-term fluctuations such as
unusual weather, strikes, etc.). A summary of the method, incorporating the latest changes and seasonal factors, appears each year in the
February issue of the source publication, Employment and Earnings.
The 12 basic component series, which are used in computing the
overall unemployment rate, are the four age-sex groups (male and
female, 16-19 years and 20 years and over) for unemployment,
nonapicultural employment, and agricultural employment. Separate
factors are applied to each of these 12 components of the total civilian
labor force. Aggregates that are combinations of these groups (such as
civilian labor force, total employment, etc.) are derived by combining
the seasonally adjusted values of the component groups. The seasonally
adjusted rate of unemployment (all civilian workers), for example, is
derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment (the sum of the 4 seasonally adjusted age-sex components)
by the figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force (the sum of
12 seasonally adjusted age-sex components). Other series are independently adjusted. Beginning 1976 slight modifications of the procedures were introduced for handling teenage unemployment and a few
other unemployment series of which teenagers are the exclusive or
major part.
Monthly data for 1948-72 for series shown with a star (unemployment rate for married men, 1955-72) are in the appendix to this volume.
Monthly seasonally adjusted data for 1948-76 (or for the earliest period
available) appear in Employment and Earnings as follows: For 1972-76,
the February 1977 issues; 1967-71, February 1976; 1948-66, February
1973 issue.

Annual data for population are midyear estimates (as of July 1)
instead of calendar year averages.
5

Beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not
strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduction
of material from the 1950 Census into the estimating procedure. The
civilian no institutional population level (not shown on p. 68) was
raised by about 600,000 persons; labor force, total employment, and
agricultural employment levels were raised by about 350,000. Other
categories were relatively unaffected.
Beginning 1960, the labor force series include figures for Alaska
and Hawaii. The addition of the two States raised the level of the
civilian noninstitutional population, 14 years of age and over, by about
500,000, and the labor force by about 300,000, four-fifths of this in
employment. (Statistics for the noninstitutional population, i.e.,
force
plus persons not in the labor force, are not shown
in this volume.) Other labor force categories were not appreciably
affected.

Data relate to the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. For ai
explanation of the differences between employees on nonfarm establish
ment payrolls and nonagricultural employment as a component of the
labor force series, see twelfth paragraph of note 2 for p. 68.
Workers covered.—The estimates of employees (other thai
government—see paragraph below) include all full-time and part-time
workers in nonapicultural establishments who received pay for the paj
period, or any part of the pay period, that includes the 12th of the
month. Not covered are proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid volunteer
or family workers, farm workers, domestic workers in households, and
military personnel; salaried officers of corporations are included. Person?
on an establishment payroll who are on paid sick leave (when pay is
received directly from the employer), on paid holiday or vacation, 01
who work during a part of the pay period and are unemployed or or
strike during the rest of the period are counted as employed. No1
counted as employed are persons who are
off, on leave without pa>
or on strike for the entire period, or who ait hired but have not been
paid during the period. Persons who worked in more than one establish
ment during a single reporting period are counted each time reported,
whether the duplication is due to turnover or dual jobholding. Distinction is made between two principal categories of workers: (1) al]
employees and (2) production and related workers, construction
workers, and nonsupervisory workers. "All employees" comprise all
persons, both supervisory and nonsupervisory. For definition of
"production or nonsupervisory workers," see note 1 for p. 73.
Employment in Federal Government establishments relates to
civilian employees only and represents those who occupied positions on
the last day of the month. Intermittent workers are counted if they
performed any service during the month. BLS considers regular fulltime teachers (private and governmental) to be employed during the
summer vacation period whether or not they are specifically paid in
those months.
The data are classified in accordance with the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual, 1967 (Bureau of The Budget).
Benchmark adjustments.—Month-to-month changes in employment
are based on monthly reports from a sample of establishments that
together employ over 30 million wage and salary workers. Normally,
the BLS adjusts the levels of its employment estimates annually to
reflect the most recent complete employment counts, called benchmarks. Adjustment to March 1975 benchmarks was delayed primarily
because of the receding of all establishments to the 1972 Standard
Industrial Classification Manual. Comparison of broad industry levels
with the March 1975 benchmarks indicated that discrepancies
were small. Therefore, in the Summer of 1978, the Bureau plans to
revise the employment series adjusted to March 1976 benchmarks, and
converted to the 1972 SIC. In February 1977 for selected industries
(where estimated levels deviated significantly in the period subsequent
to March 1975), interim revisions were made to employment levels for
a few series based on December 1975 benchmarks and to the State and
local government series which is adjusted to October 1975 benchmarks.
For all other series, estimates are projected from March 1974 levels.
The primary sources of benchmark information are employment
data, by industry, compiled quarterly by State agencies from reports of

71-74

BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1977 EDITION

iblishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws,
ese tabulations cover nearly nine-tenths of the total nonagricultural
ployment in the United States. Benchmark materials are
>plemented with data from the Social Security Administration, the
erstate Commerce Commission (for railroad transportation), Bureau
the Census (for State and local governments), U.S. Civil Service
mmission (for Federal Government employment) and other agencies
private industry or government. Small differences between the
ginally published data (i.e., estimates on a current basis) and figures
ised to new benchmarks reflect problems arising from changes in
Lustrial classification of reporting firms (on the basis of their
ncipal product or activity) and from sampling procedures, response
ors, and the frequency of certain benchmarks.
The concepts, collection, estimating methods (sampling, benchirks), coverage, and reliability of data are described in each monthly

The seasonal movements which recur periodically (such as warm and
dd weather, crop-growing cycles, holidays, vacations, etc.) are,
nerally, the largest single component of month-to-month changes in
nployment. After adjusting the data to remove such seasonal variation,
e basic trends are more evident.
A detailed description of the seasonal adjustment method appears
"BLS Seasonal Factor Method" (1966); this is an adaptation of the
andard ratio-to-moving-average method, with a provision for moving
tdjustment factors" to take account of changing seasonal patterns,
secial adjustments are made in seasonally adjusting the employment
lies for the transportation equipment industry to compensate for the
lifting dates of automobile plant retooling, and for the retail trade
dustry, for the shifting date of Easter. The Federal Government
Ties is adjusted to remove the effect of the temporary Christmas
Dstal workers. Seasonal adjustment factors are directly applied to
>mponent levels (such as major group industries); employment totals
>r the industry division are obtained by summing the seasonally
ljusted data for the component major groups. Figures shown in this
Dlume reflect revised factors first introduced in December 1976, and
so reflect corrections to employment levels (beginning July 1975)

Beginning 1959, the data include figures for Alaska and Hawaii,

The government division includes Federal, State, and local activities
such as legislative, executive, and judicial functions, as well as all
government-owned and government-operated business enterprises,
establishments, and institutions (arsenals, navy yards, hospitals, etc.),
and government force account construction. The figures relate to
civilian employment only. Federal Government employment excludes

The employment estimates are for the United States, including Alaska
and Hawaii. See note 1, p. 70, regarding sampling, estimating, industry
classification procedures, and benchmark adjustments. The data cover
all production and related workers in mining and manufacturing; construction workers in contract construction; and nonsupervisory workers
in transportation, communication, electric, gas, and sanitary services:
wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and
services. Included are full-time and part-time workers who are on
payrolls of private nonagricultural establishments and who received pay
for all or any part of the pay period that includes the 12th of the
month. Not counted are persons who are kid off, on leave without pay,
or on strike for the entire period. Persons who worked in more than
one establishment during a single reporting period are counted each
time reported, whether the duplication is due to turnover or dual
jobholding. The manufacturing series exclude manufacturing operations
in government establishments such as arsenals and navy yards; these are
covered in the government division, p. 72.
"Production and related workers" include working supervisors and
all nonsupervisory workers (including group leaders and trainees)
engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving,
storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair
janitorial and guard services, product development, auxiliary production
for plant's own use (e.g., power plant), recordkeeping, and other service's
closely associated with the above production operations.
"Construction workers" include the following employees in the
contract construction division: Working supervisors, qualified craft
workers, mechanic's apprentices, laborers, etc., whether working at the
site of construction or in shops or yards, at jobs (such as precutting and
preassembling) ordinarily performed by members of the construction
trades.
"Nonsupervisory employees" (not above the working supervisory
level) include office and clerical workers, repairers, salespersons, operators, drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social workers,
research aides, teachers, drafters, photographers, beauticians, musicians,
restaurant workers, custodial workers, attendants, line installers and
repairers, laborers, janitors, guards, and other employees performing
similar services.
Monthly data for 1947-72 for series indicated by a star are in the
appendix to this volume. Continuous monthly series for all of the major
industrial groups back to 1947, and for some back to 1939, appear in
BLS Bulletin No. 1312-10, Employment and Earnings, United States,
1909-75 (1975). Current national estimates for about 400 separate
industries appear in the monthly report, Employment and Earnings.

The hours and earnings series are based on reports of gross payroll and
corresponding paid hours for full- and part-time production and related
workers, construction workers, or nonsupervisory workers who received
pay for any part of the pay period that included the 12th of the month.
See note 1 for p. 73 for descriptions of these workers. Total gross
payrolls are before deductions for old-age and unemployment insurance,
group insurance, withholding taxes, bonds, and union dues. The payroll
figures also include pay for overtime, shift premiums, holidays,
vacations, and sick leave (paid directly by the employer for the period
reported). Excluded from the payroll figures are fringe benefits (health
and other types of insurance, contributions to retirement, etc., paid by
the employer), bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay
period), other pay not earned in the pay period reported (for example,
retroactive pay), or payment in kind (tips, and the value of free rent,
fuel, meals, etc.)
Hours and earnings are based on payroll information from a sample
of industrial and commercial establishments collected under the cooperative Federal-State program. These estimates are based on a slightly
smaller sample than that for employment estimates, since a few
establishments that report employment do not furnish payroll and hour
Information. Reporting establishments are classified by industry on the
basis of major product or activity as determined by sales or receipts
data for the previous calendar year. The classification is in accordance
with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual (1967). Independent
benchmarks are not available for the hours and earnings series. At the
time of the annual adjustment of the employment series to new benchmarks, the levels of hours and earnings may be affected slightly by the
revised employment weights (which are used in computing the industry
averages for hours and earnings), as well as by the changes in seasonal
factors also introduced with the benchmark revision. See the fifth
paragraph of note 1 for p. 70 regarding conversion of reporting
establishments to the 1972 SIC, and the February 1977 interim corrections made to employment levels of a few component industries.
Such corrections (beginning July 1975) have made the earnings
and hours subject to change for these divisions as well as for aggregated
levels.
Average weekly hours.—The workweek relates to the average hours
for which pay was received and differs from standard or scheduled
hours. Such factors as unpaid absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time
work, and work stoppages cause average weekly hours to be lower than
scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Also, group averages
reflect changes in the workweek for component industries. When the
pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures are reduced to a
weekly basis. Overtime or other premium-paid hours are not converted
to straight-time equivalent hours. (See note 4 for this page relating to
average overtime hours worked, and note 2 for p. 81 for average hourly
earnings excluding overtime.)
Average hourly earnings.—Data are on a "gross" basis; that is, they
reflect not only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates but
also such variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift
work, and changes in output of workers paid on an incentive basis.
Also, shifts in the volume of employment between relatively high-paid
and low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in individual
establishments affect the general average of hourly earnings. Averages
of hourly earnings should not be confused with wage rates, which
represent the rates stipulated for a given unit of work or time, while
earnings refer to the actual return to the worker for a stated period of
time. The earnings series do not represent total labor cost to the employer owing to the exclusion of irregular bonuses, retroactive items,
payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers,
and earnings for those employees not covered under the productionworker or nonsupervisory worker definition. Similarly, average weekly
earnings are not the amounts available to workers for spending, since
cliey do not reflect such deductions as those for income and social
security taxes, etc. (See spendable earnings series, note 2 for p. 85.)
Earnings expressed in 1967 dollars (real earnings) are adjusted for
changes in purchasing power since the base period, 1967, by dividing
the current earnings by the Consumer Price Index.




Method of computing industry series.—Average weekly hours for
individual industry are computed by dividing production or nonsuj:
visory worker hours (reported by plants classified in that industry)
the number of production or nonsupervisory workers (reported for
same establishments). Similarly, average hourly earnings are obtaii
by dividing the reported total production or nonsupervisory worl
payroll by the total production or nonsupervisory worker hoi
Estimates for both hours and hourly earnings for nonagricultu
divisions and major industry groups are averages (weighted
employment for hours and by aggregate hours for hourly earnings)
the figures for component industries. Gross average weekly earnings;
computed by multiplying gross average hourly earnings by aven
weekly hours. In addition to the factors mentioned above, which ex
varying influences upon gross average hourly earnings, gross aven
weekly earnings are affected by changes in the length of the workwei
part-time work, work stoppages, labor turnover, and absenteeis
Persistent long-term increases in the proportion of part-time workers
retail trade and many of the service industries have reduced avers
workweeks and have affected the average weekly earnings series. T
BLS monthly report, Employment and Earnings, provides current hoi
and earnings averages for about 360 separate industries.

In accordance with the annual practice of updating seasonal factor
effective December 1976, the BLS published revised seasonally adjuste
data back to 1971 for most series. A change in procedure was introduce
so that aggregated levels of seasonally adjusted hours and earnings ai
now derived as a weighted average of their seasonally adjusted con
ponents. Prior to this change, the seven series involved were direct!
adjusted. (BLS has published the complete historical series for the:
seven items.) All other hours and earnings series are seasonally adjuste
by applying factors directly to the corresponding unadjusted serie
seasonally adjusted average weekly earnings are the product of seasonall
adjusted hourly earnings and weekly hours. Weekly earnings in constar
dollars, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by dividing seasonally adjuste
average weekly earnings by the seasonally adjusted Consumer Pric
Index. For a detailed description, see "The BLS Seasonal Factc
Method" (1966).
Monthly data for 1947-72 for the series shown with a star are in th
appendix to this volume. Monthly seasonally adjusted data for mam
facturing (1947); transportation and public utilities and total whole
sale and retail trade hours (1964-72); and for all other series (1971-72;

aight-time workday or the workweek during the pay period which
ludes the 12th of the month. Weekend and holiday hours are
luded only if overtime premiums are paid. Hours for which only
ft differential, hazard, incentive, or other similar types of premiums
: paid are excluded.
The concept pertains to hours worked at a rate higher than straight
le; it includes premium hours worked even when the weekly total is
Low 40. This may occur in industries where the normal workweek is
der 40 hours (such as printing or apparel). On the other hand, hours
id for at double time for holidays actually worked (when straight
le is paid for holidays not worked) would not be reported as overle hours. Also excluded are hours worked beyond the normal workek that are not compensated at premium rates.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, the gross
ekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in the same
ection from month to month; for example, premiums may be paid
: hours in excess of the straight-time workday although less than a
1 week is worked, as noted above. Diverse trends at the industry>up level may also be caused by a marked change in gross hours for a
mponent industry where little or no overtime was worked in both the
svious and current months. In addition, such factors as stoppages,
senteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same influence on
ertime hours as on gross hours. Overtime hours are computed for
lividual manufacturing industries by dividing production worker
ertime hours by the number of production workers.

justment and seasonal factors introduced in December 1976, are

dexes of aggregate weekly employee hours are derived from the BLS




summary of employers' payroll statistics; see note 1 for pages 70, 73,
and 76 of this volume for description and concepts of the basic data for
employees and hours used in preparing the indexes. Aggregate employee
hours are obtained by multiplying seasonally adjusted production or
nonsupervisory workers by seasonally adjusted average weekly hours
(for each manufacturing major group industry, for the subdivisions of
retail and wholesale trade, and for the other divisions as a whole) and
dividing by the monthly average for the 1967 period. For total private,
goods-producing, service-producing, total trade, manufacturing, durable,
and nondurable goods, the indexes are obtained by summing the
seasonally adjusted aggregate weekly employee hours for the component
industries and dividing by the monthly average for the 1967 period.
The seasonally adjusted indexes in this volume reflect the March
1974 benchmark adjustment as amended February 1977 (see note 1 for
page 70), and seasonal factors first introduced in the December 1976
issue of Employment and Earnings. Monthly data for 1971-72 appear in
the December 1976 issue of Employment and Earnings; monthly data
prior to 1971 appear in BLS Bulletin No. 1312-10, Employment and
Earnings, United States, 1909-75 (1975), available from theGovernment
Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 20402.

These data eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at one
and one-half times the straight-time rate for hours in excess of normally
scheduled hours of either the straight-time workday or workweek. No
adjustment is made for other premium-payment provisions-for
example, holiday work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than
time and one-half. (Any overtime work paid for at double-time rates
would be treated as if it were paid for at time and one-half rates.)
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime are computed by dividing
total production worker payroll for the industry group by the sum of
aggregate production worker hours and one-half of aggregate overtime
hours. (See note 4 for p. 76 for a description of overtime hours.) Prior
to 1956 the estimates were based on application of adjustment factors
to gross average hourly earnings; the figures prior to 1956 are considered comparable with later data.
In the BLS monthly report, Employment and Earnings, data on
average hourly earnings excluding overtime are available for 20 major
industry groups in the manufacturing division.

See notes 1 and 3, p. 76, for description of the original gross earnings
statistics which cover straight-time hourly earnings plus premium and
incentive pay. The earnings refer to all production or nonsupervisory
jobs, including part-time jobs.
The hourly earnings indexes exclude effects of two types of changes
that are unrelated to underlying wage-rate developments: Fluctuations
in overtime premiums in manufacturing (the only sector for which
overtime data are available) and the effects of changes in the proportion

85-86

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

of workers in high-wage and low-wage industries. The seasonal adjustment eliminates the effect of changes that normally occur at the same
time and in about the same magnitude each year.
The earnings index expressed in 1967 dollars is adjusted for changes
in purchasing power since the base period, 1967. This constant dollar
index is calculated by dividing the seasonally adjusted earnings index by
the Consumer Price Index, seasonally adjusted, for the respective period.
The indexes in this volume have been slightly revised as a result of
corrections to the data file and the introduction of more precision in
the processing system.
Monthly data for 1964-72 for all series, and back to 1947 for manufacturing, are available upon request. Indexes are also available for
durable and nondurable goods industries (back to 1959), retail trade
and wholesale trade and for the nonmanufacturing sector.

correspondents in 20 cities as follows: Atlanta, Baltimore, Birmingham,
Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Kansas
City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Seattle. The rates are arithmetic
averages of wages actually paid in the 20 cities and cover take-home pay
plus fringe benefits, including welfare fund, pension fund, etc.; the data
reflect retroactive wage increases. The skilled labor rates are averages
for three principal trades (bricklayers, carpenters, and structural ironworkers); the common labor rates are averages for building and heavy
construction.

are from the Quarterly Agricultural Labor Survey that uses a probability
sample derived from land area listings and from a farm employers list

for the contiguous United States. The wages, expressed in terms of
dollars per hour, relate to rates for hired farm workers (working only
for wages, for 1 hour or more) paid by the hour, day, week, or month;
excluded from the averages are wages for family workers. The hourly
wages are for the week containing the 12th day of January, April, July,

packinghouse and maintenance, bookkeeping, supervisors, and other
agricultural workers. No comparable data prior to 1974 are available.
The hourly wages shown prior to 1974 are based on information
received by mail from a sample of crop and livestock farms for hired
farm workers paid per hour (without room or board) on about the 1st

persons (excluding executives, officials, and staff assistants) on the
payroll at the middle of the month. Beginning 1972, the data are for
line-haul roads only, that is, excluding figures for switching and terminal
companies; data prior to 1972 include data for these companies.
The total compensation (from which the hourly earnings are derived)
includes employees' contributions but excludes taxes paid by the railroads for old age retirement and unemployment insurance. Back pay
resulting from retroactive wage agreements and other adjustments are
not included in the monthly figures but are included in computing
the annual averages; the averages therefore may differ substantially in
some years from the average of the monthly figures. Average hourly
earnings are affected by changes in the proportion of employees in each
wage group, as well as by changes in wage rates. Effective 1971, the

Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars are obtained
deducting estimated Federal social security and income taxes frc
average weekly earnings. The amount of income tax liability deper
on the number of dependents supported by the worker and his mari
status, as well as on the level of his gross income. To reflect these va
ables, spendable earnings are computed by BLS for a worker with
dependents and for a married worker with three dependents. T
computations are based on gross average weekly earnings for all prodi
tion or nonsupervisory workers which exclude "fringe benefits," ott
income, and income earned by other family members. This series refle<
the spendable earnings of those married workers, with three dependen
whose gross weekly pay approximates the average earnings indicat
for all production and nonsupervisory workers. It does not reflect, f
example, the average earnings of all married workers with thr
dependents; such workers, in fact have higher gross average earnir
than workers with no dependents. Since part-time as well as fuU-tir
workers are included, and since the proportion of part-time work*
has been rising, the series understates the increase in earnings for fu
time workers.
Constant dollar, or real, spendable earnings represent the buyi
power of the spendable earnings of a worker earning the average p
and with the applicable deductions, after allowance for price chang
from the 1967 base period. These data are calculated by dividing £
seasonally adjusted spendable earnings by the seasonally adjust
Consumer Price Index for the current month.

n combining these city indexes into regional totals, weights are
ted to each city index, representing the proportionate weight of
lal nonagricultural employment in each of the labor-market areas
^sented in the sample. The effect of this weighting is to adjust for
:renees among cities in the ratio of help-wanted advertising to the
ber of nonagricultural employees. These differences reflect different
petitive positions of the individual papers represented in the
?le and variations in the relative importance of newspaper advertisvolume as a means of seeking employees. The city indexes are
med into regional and national indexes by multiplying each city
x by the appropriate weight.
Ls stated above, the index covers ads published in classified sections
ewspapers; it excludes ads in financial, sports, and other sections.
, it should be noted that the index is based on the number of ads
sr than the number of jobs advertised.
n addition to the national index, shown here, data are available

Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and salary workers
and out of employment in individual establishments over
entire calendar month. Each type of personnel action is cumulated
a calendar month on an industry basis and expressed as a rate per
employees in the industry. For example, the actual number of
icular actions, such as quits, in reporting firms is divided by total
>loyment in those firms. The result is multiplied by 100. All poups
employees, i.e., full-time, part-time, permanent, and temporary, are
uded. The rates relate to all employees including executive, office,
s, and other salaried personnel and production workers, and are
ghted by employment in the major industry groups.
"Total accessions" are all additions (permanent and temporary) to
employment roll during the calendar month, including both new
rehired employees. The total includes "new hires" (see below),
?loyees transferring from other establishments of the same company,
employees who return to the employment roll after a layoff,
itary separation, or other absence.
"New hires" are additions (permanent and temporary) to the
3loyment roll of persons who have never before been employed
the establishment or of former employees, returning under circumices other than being recalled. Employees transferring from one
tblishment to another within the same company are excluded.
"Separations" are all terminations of employment during the
mdar month which last at least 7 consecutive calendar days. Total
arations include, in addition to quits and layoffs, transfers to another
iblishment of the same company, discharges (for incompetence,
.), and other miscellaneous types of separations (such as disability,
th, retirement, or entrance into the armed services—expected to last
more than 30 consecutive calendar days).
"Quits" are terminations of employment during the calendar month
iated by employees for such reasons as a new job, dissatisfaction,
irn to school, marriage, maternity, ill health, or voluntary retirement
cept on company pension). Failure to report after being hired and
mthorized absence (if on the last day of the month the person has
m absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days) are considered
ts.
"Layoffs" are suspensions without pay during the calendar month
»ting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days)
;iated by the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Seasonal factors derived by the Bureau of Census X-ll method
ing the trading day factor adjustment) are applied to the turnover
es for all items except the totals. Therefore, the series are adjusted
the number of times each day of the week, Monday, for example,
:urs in a given month, as well as for the month of the year. Effective
cember 1976, total accessions and total separations are derived by
:ing a weighted average of their seasonally adjusted components.




Separate data for over 200 individual manufacturing industries and
7 nonmanufacturing industries (in mining and communication) as well
as separate rates in manufacturing by States and areas are included in
the original monthly report, Employment and Earnings.
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing
industries as indicated by labor turnover rates are not comparable with
changes shown by the compiling agency's reports on employment, as
the former are based on data for the entire month, while the latter refer
to the pay period that includes the 12th of the month. Persons on
strike are not included in the turnover computations beginning with the
month the strike starts through the month the workers return; employees on strike are excluded from the employment estimates if the
stoppage extends through the report period.

data for 1971-72 (1951-72 for accessions and 1930-72 for separations)

averages and monthly data, adjusted and unadjusted, for 1930-70 (new

Data include all known work stoppages arising out of labormanagement disputes involving six or more workers (not necessarily
members of a union) and continuing a full day or shift, or longer,
whether initiated by the workers or by the employers. In addition,
jurisdictional and sympathy strikes involving work stoppage are also
covered. The data are based on notices or leads regarding labor disputes
appearing in daily papers and trade journals, as well as records from
Federal and State agencies that deal with employer-employee disputes.
Also, some employer associations, companies, and unions voluntarily
furnish the Bureau with work stoppage information. Questionnaires are
sent to representatives of parties in the disputes asking for detailed and
authentic information to substantiate these published reports. Effective
1959and 1960, the data include Alaska and Hawaii.
The figures on "days idle" and "workers involved" cover all workers
made idle for as long as one shift in establishments directly involved in
a stoppage, even though they may not be active participants or
supporters of the controversy. They do not measure the indirect or
secondary effects on other establishments or industries whose employees are made idle as a result of material or service shortages. For
a given period, the total number of workers involved includes workers
counted more than once if they were involved in more than one
stoppage during that period. The figures for "in effect during the
month" include data for stoppages beginning in the specified month
and those continuing from the preceding months. For annual data,
number of stoppages and workers relate to those beginning in the year;
days of idleness include all stoppages in effect. Bureau of Labor
Statistics Bulletin No. 1902, Analysis of Work Stoppages, 1974,
provides annual data by industry and occupation (for government
stoppages, by function), location, size and duration, major issues
involved, contract status, and union affiliation.

unemployment under the regular State, Federal employees', and exservicemen's programs, and that covered by the Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act. Insured unemployment in Alaska and Hawaii is included
for all periods and that in Puerto Rico beginning 1961; the data exclude
figures for the Virgin Islands. The percentage of civilian employment
(excluding agricultural and domestic workers) covered by the State,
railroad, and Federal civilian employee programs has-ranged as follows:
Prior to 1965, under 50 percent; as of December 1969, 57 percent;
December 1972, 66 percent; and as of December 1974, 70 percent.
Beginning 1970, the insured unemployment figures also include
persons eligible for unemployment compensation under the extended

duration provisions of regular State laws; see note 15 for this page.
Not included are operations under the Federal Supplemental Benefits
and Special Unemployment Assistance programs (which began January
1975), Temporary Unemployment Compensation Act of 1958 (effective
June 19, 1958), and Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1961 (effective April 8,1961).
Data reflect the number of workers reporting the completion of at
least 1 week of unemployment. Annual averages may reflect adjustments not distributed to the monthly data.
A direct comparison of insured unemployment statistics with
estimates of total unemployment (shown on p. 68) cannot be made
because of differences in concepts and coverage. The main groups of
workers excluded from this series on insured unemployment are agricultural, workers in domestic service, employees of selected nonprofit
organizations, unpaid family workers, self-employed, and some State
and local government workers. Also, prior to 1972, workers employed
in "covered" industries might be ineligible because of size-of-firm
exclusions; see 2d parapaph of note 2 below.

unemployment insurance laws and, for all series except insured unemployment, include operations in all 50 States, as well as in the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. For insured
unemployed persons, the figures exclude data for the Virgin Islands
and, through 1960, for Puerto Rico (beginning 1961, operations in
Puerto Rico are covered).
For the period shown, the number of workers covered under
Federal law has been extended according to size-of-firm and payroll
provisions. Originally, firms were covered which employed 8 or more
workers on at least one day in each of 20 different weeks in a calendar
year. Effective January 1, 1956, the law covered firms with 4 or more
employees and, beginning January 1, 1972, firms with one or more
employees. Almost all of the States were required to amend their
unemployment insurance laws in 1971 in accordance with the
Employment Security Amendments of 1970. These amendments provide coverage to workers in certain State government jobs and certain
nonprofit organizations, and automatically extend benefit duration
provisions during periods of high unemployment. As noted below,
the insured unemployment series omits figures under the extended
duration provisions. Also excluded are all operations under temporary
programs. For recent years, some annual data incorporate revisions not
distributed to the monthly figures.
^n initial claim is the first claim in a benefit year filed by a worker
after losing his job, or the first claim filed at the beginning of a subsequent period of unemployment in the same benefit year. The initial
claim establishes the starting date for any insured unemployment
which may result if the claimant is unemployed for 1 week or longer.
Effective with data for 1950, transitional claims (filed by persons as
they start a new benefit year) are excluded; therefore the data represent
more closely instances of new unemployment.
Insured unemployment for a given month is the average weekly
number of covered persons filing claims certifying to 1 or more weeks
of unemployment under State programs during that month. Operations
under extended duration provisions are not included; see note 15 for
this page which gives the volume for recent years. The insured
unemployment series (adjusted for the kg between actual unemployment and the filing of the claim) refers to the actual week of
unemployment. 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 ratio-to-moving-average
method to remove the effects of seasonal changes.
See note 1 above, which summarizes differences between insured
unemployment and total unemployment. State laws are designed to
provide some replacement for wage losses suffered through unemployment among workers regularly attached to the labor force. To be

supervises the activities of the Federal land banks, the Federal land
bank associations, the Federal intermediate credit banks, the production credit associations, and the banks for cooperatives. The Agricultural
Marketing Act revolving fund was supervised by the Farm Credit
Administration; however, during August 1953 the outstanding balance
of loans from this fund was fully repaid.
The Farm Credit Administration formerly also supervised the
functions of the production credit corporation (merged in the Federal
intermediate credit banks as of January 1, 1957) and the lending
activities of the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation, an emergency
institution on whose behalf the Land Bank Commissioner made loans
(the authority to make Land Bank Commissioner loans expired July 1,
1947, and on June 30, 1955, the outstanding loans totaling.
$10,635,000 were sold to the 12 Federal land banks). The liquidation
of the regional agricultural credit corporations was under the supervision of the Farm Credit Administration prior to April 16, 1949; as of
that date the assets of such corporations were transferred by law to
the Farmers Home Administration.
Also under the direction of the Farm Credit Administration was the
liquidation of the joint-stock land banks, which were privately
capitalized institutions organized under the Federal Farm Loan Act.
Liquidation of these banks was completed in July 1949.
District banks of the Farm Credit System are located in each of the
12 Farm Credit districts. The offices are located in Springfield (Mass.),
Baltimore, Columbia (S.C.), Louisville, New Orleans, St. Louis, St. Paul,
Omaha, Wichita, Houston, Berkeley, and Spokane. In each district
organization there are three permanent credit institutions—a Federal
land bank, a Federal intermediate credit bank, and a bank for cooperatives (also, a production credit corporation prior to January 1957)—in
addition to local Federal land bank associations (formerly, national
farm loan associations) and production credit associations. In addition
to the district banks located in the above-mentioned cities, there is a
Central Bank for Cooperatives located in Denver, Colorado.

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly or quarterly data for
1941-72 appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see
reference note, p. 1 of this section). Monthly figures for 1932-40 are
shown in the 1942, 1940, 1938, and 1932 editions of the SUPPLEMENT and, except for a few minor revisions in the 1932-33 figures, are
correct and comparable with data in subsequent volumes after the
"grand total" and "total short-term credit" are adjusted to exclude
emergency crop loans and drought-relief loans. Figures for Federal
land banks published in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT are substantially
correct.

Loans to cooperatives include loans by the district banks for
cooperatives and the Central Bank for Cooperatives (excluding advances
in connection with CCC programs). The data prior to January 1957 also
include loans (direct) by Federal intermediate credit banks and, prior to
August 1953, loans from the Agricultural Marketing Act revolving fund.

Data for other loans and discounts include Federal intermediate
credit bank loans to and discounts for financing institutions (exclusive
of loans to other Farm Credit institutions), loans by production credit
associations (beginning December 1933) and by regional agricultural
credit corporations (for the period October 1932-March 1949). Federal
intermediate credit bank loans to and discounts for other Farm Credit
institutions (regional agricultural credit corporations, production credit
associations, and banks for cooperatives) are omitted from the total for
other loans and discounts and total loans for all agencies to avoid
duplication. Emergency crop loans and drought-relief loans, which were
formerly under the supervision of the Farm Credit Administration and
are included in the totals for short-term credit (other loans and discounts) shown in the 1942 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS, have been
excluded for all years covered in subsequent volumes.

Total assets include Reserve bank credit outstanding and the gold
certificate account, as well as these items not shown separately: Special
drawing rights certificate account, Federal Reserve notes of other banks,
other cash, bank premises, cash items in process of collection, and other
assets. Reserve bank credit outstanding also includes items not shown
separately: Acceptances bought outright and held under repurchase
agreements, Federal agency obligations held under repurchase agreements (beginning December 1966), and Reserve bank float (i.e., uncollected cash items minus deferred availability cash items).
Total liabilities include—in addition to deposits and Federal Reserve
notes—capital accounts, other liabilities and accrued dividends, and



deferred availability cash items. Total deposits are mainly member-b
reserve balances; they also include the U.S. Treasurer's general accoi
foreign, and other deposits.
Federal Reserve notes constitute the major part of the count
currency in circulation and are liabilities of the Reserve banks that is
them. They are a prior lien on all assets of the Reserve banks and
specifically secured by the pledge of collateral at least equal to
amount of notes issued. This collateral may consist of gold certiflea
U.S. Government securities, and eligible short-term paper discountec
purchased by the Reserve bank. In the past the amount of notes 1
could be issued was subject to another limitation, viz. that the Rese
bank have gold certificate reserves of a given percentage of the Fed
Reserve notes in actual circulation. The requirement, which no lor
prevails, was 40 percent prior to June 12, 1945, and 25 percent ft

ember 31, 1965 and voluntarily report their balances in assets and
ility accounts as shown in these tables.
The series has been revised from time to time to extend the coverage
to reflect other improvements. The revisions, beginning with the
' 1965 data, had two aims: (1) To cover the largest volume of bank
ts possible in the smallest number of banks, and (2) to account for a
or share of the short-term fluctuations in major bank assets and
ility categories. The subsequent series cover virtually all the assets of
nber and nonmember commercial banks in the United States with
osits of $100 million or more. The revised panel includes 341
>rting banks compared with 344 before. The net effect of the
el changes, which added large banks and dropped smaller ones, was
ncrease the total assets by about $12.4 billion (about 6 percent),
i new series includes more than 61 percent of the assets of all
imercial banks.
All data shown prior to July 1965 are designed to reflect banking
ditions in (but not outside) the larger cities and, include all branches
•eporting banks, regardless of location. The weekly reporting banks
iefly large-city banks) are most affected by short-term money
:ket factors and are especially significant in showing current changes
he credit situation.
For data shown in this volume, there are two major breaks in
iparability: (1) Effective with figures for July 1965, to incorporate
revision described above; (2) effective with data for June 1959
nounced in June 1961), to provide more adequate classification and
akdown of deposits, as well as to improve the coverage of banks,
dsions of lesser significance were effective with data beginning
uary 1952 (announced in early 1953) and beginning June 1969
nounced in August 1969).
The June 1969 revision required respondent banks to: (1) Submit
isolidated reports, including figures for all bank-premises subsidiaries
1 other significant majority-owned domestic subsidiaries; (2) report
al loans and individual categories of securities gross, that is without
luction of valuation reserves—rather than net of such reserves, as
y had been previously; and (3) report more detailed data on shorten lending and borrowing transactions that involve either transfers of
leral funds balances on the books of the Reserve Banks or purchases
sales of securities under agreement to repurchase. The net effect of
changes was to increase total assets of the large commercial banks by
.1 billion.

y 1965 and June 1959, appear in the August 1966, and June 1961,

cover loans and investments at all commercial banks and are partly or
wholly estimated from figures for the last Wednesday of the month,
except when June 30 and December 31 are call dates. Total loans and
total loans and investments exclude loans to other domestic commercial
banks, since these loans fluctuate widely but have little net effect on
the volume of credit available to the public. Holdings of "other
securities" consist mainly of State and municipal issues.
The seasonally adjusted data indicate much more clearly than
unadjusted data the banking system's responses to changes in monetary
policy. The procedures used in deriving the seasonally adjusted series
are basically those incorporated in the X-9 modification of the Census
Method II program for seasonal adjustment. This program applies the
ratio-to-moving average method of seasonal correction widely used in
various adaptations of the Census Method II. However, the X-9
modification incorporates two important improvements. It reduces the
weight given to data for the terminal years, which was too great in
Method II, as well as the weight for data anywhere in the series that fall
substantially outside the usual range of fluctuation. The seasonal
factors derived by this method are periodically reviewed, and minor
adjustments are made as necessary.
Separate seasonal factors are derived for and applied to total loans
and investments, loans, and other securities. Seasonally adjusted data
for U.S. Government securities are residuals, derived by subtracting the
seasonally adjusted totals for loans and for holdings of other securities
from total loans and investments, independently corrected for seasonal
variation.
In December 1971 revisions were made in the loan series to reflect
changes in the average and to introduce new seasonal factors. The loan
component was revised to exclude only loans to domestic commercial
banks; formerly loans to foreign commercial banks were also excluded.
This revision was carried back to the beginning of 1959, as was the
inclusion of valuation reserves begun in June 1969. At the beginning of
1959 the amounts involved were $0.4 billion for loans to foreign
commercial banks and $2.0 billion for valuation reserves.
For detailed information on concepts and methods, see the July

represent averages of rates charged on short-term loans (those maturing

The data shown here are based on the quarterly survey of interest
rates charged by banks on business loans. The survey for the period
covered has been revised twice, in February 1967 and again in February
1971. While the changes are numerous, they do not alter the basic
character of the survey as they are generally in the nature of adjustments or refinements designed to improve the quality of the

information collected. However, they do have a small effect on the
averages and are not precisely comparable with data appearing in the
1967 and earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS. The 1967
revision expanded the coverage to 35 centers and shifted the schedule
of reporting periods to the first 15 calendar days of February, May,
August, and November. The principal reason for the latter change is to
avoid distortions in the interest rate averages stemming from the large
and variable amounts of borrowing for income tax payments by large
firms, which are able to borrow at lower rates than small firms. Also,
excluded by this revision of the survey are the loans to foreign
businesses and business installment loans. The rates on both of these
types of loans are generally higher than those charged on regular
business loans to domestic customers.
The 1971 revision shortened the reporting period from the first 15
calendar days of the survey month to the first 7 business days of
the month, eliminated the accounts receivable loans from the survey,
introduced new weights, and refined the procedures for calculating
interest rates used in arriving at the survey averages.
The interest rates are adjusted for size-of-loan differences by computing averages of rates paid on each size group of loans in each area.
This is done by dividing the doEar amount of interest charged, figured
at an annual rate, by the dollar amount of loans made in each group of
loans. The resulting rate averages for the minor size group for each
area are then combined into five major size groups of loans for the
area. The weights used for these data (through 1970) are derived from
the combined data of the four surveys of 1967. Beginning 1971, data
reflect weights to be used for the ensuing 4 years.
Major size categories of loans, for which weighted average rates are
computed, are as follows:
$1,00049,999
$10,000499,999
$100,0004499,999
$500,0004999,999
$1,000,000 and over
For each of the six geographic areas and for all 35 centers taken
together, an average rate is computed as a summary measure of movements in rates on all sizes of loans. The overall average, in each case,
is obtained by combining the average rates for the five major size
groups of loans. The weights used in making each average reflect the
relative importance of the loan size groups in the business-loan volume
outstanding at reporting banks in the area concerned.

se data represent mutually consistent series for consumer installit credit outstanding and consumer installment credit extended and
dd. Data for Alaska and Hawaii are included beginning January and
;ust 1959 respectively.
Consumer credit represents all short- and intermediate-term credit
i to finance the purchase of commodities and services for personal
sumption or to refinance debts originally incurred for such purposes,
•tgage debt is generally excluded. Because of certain difficulties, some
lit that is really consumer credit cannot be included in the data. On
other hand, it is impossible to exclude al the nonconsumer credit
; the definition requires. The amount of consumer credit omitted
n the series far exceeds the amount of nonconsumer credit that still
ains in the series.
The term "credit" means an advance of purchasing power that could
jsed to obtain goods and services, or an, advance of goods or services
xchange for a promise to pay at a later date. The term "consumption"
ins the process of using up goods and services as an end in itself
icr than as a stage in production. Credit extended to governmental
ncies and nonprofit or charitable organizations, as well as credit
snded to business or to individuals exclusively for business purposes,
scluded.
Installment credit includes all consumer credit held by financial
itutions and retail outlets that is scheduled to be repaid in two or
re installments. Revolving credit and budget and coupon accounts
treated as installment credit rather than as charge accounts because
y involve scheduled repayment on a monthly basis. "Automobile
>er" represents credit extended for the purchase of new or used
omobiles whether or not the credit is specifically secured by the
omobile purchased. "Mobile homes" covers credit extended for the
•chase of mobile homes. Home improvement loans include both FHAured and noninsured loans made to finance the maintenance and
provement of owner=occupied dwelling units.
Like most economic statistics, the consumer credit series is based on
nprehensive benchmark data that become available periodically.
rrent monthly estimates are projected from the latest benchmarks in
;ordance with changes indicated by sample data. The estimated totals
adjusted as necessary whenever new benchmark data become
dlable. Classifications are made on a "holder" basis. Thus, installment
per sold by retail outlets is included in figures for the banks and
es finance companies that purchased the paper.
Estimates of installment credit extended, repaid, and outstanding
>resent summaries of accounting records. Conceptually, the amount
outstanding credit represents the sum of the balances in the install*nt receivable accounts of financial institutions and retail outlets
any given date. Credit extended covers all debit entries to these
counts during a given period, and credit repaid covers all of the credit
tries except chargeoffs. The difference between credit extended and
>dit repaid during any given period is thus equal to the change in the
tstanding balance during the period, if allowance is made for losses
d chargeoffs. In these estimates, chargeoffs are included as repaysnts in most of the components of the series. Information is not
lilable to make separate estimates of the amount of chargeoffs, and
der most circumstances the amounts involved are relatively small.
The estimates of the amount of credit outstanding and those of
bailment credit extended include any finance and insurance charges
duded as part of the installment contract. Similiarly, installment
5dit repayments include the payments on these charges. The inclusion
finance charges is general for most types of installment contracts,
ice they are usually written on a discount or an add-on basis.
Another fact to consider in using figures on installment credit
tended and repaid is the inclusion of loans to refinance or consolidate
her installment obligations or to renew existing loans. The items add
nultaneously to both credit extended and credit repaid with no net
feet on the amount outstanding. Little is known of the exact amount
such refinancing, but it is not believed to be sufficiently large most
the time to have any significant effect on the totals of installment
edit extended and repaid.



The adjusted data for installment credit extended and repaid reflect
adjustments for differences in the number of trading days and for
various seasonal influences. The seasonal factors used are derived by a
modified ratio-to-moving-average method (for availability of details of
this method, see next to last paragraph of this note).
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 repayments are to some extent
related to the seasonal movements in extensions.
For a more complete description of the series on consumer credit
outstanding, as well as for details of the method of seasonal adjustment,
see the Supplement to Banking and Monetary Statistics, Section 16
(New), Consumer Credit, published by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.
Monthly data for 1947-72 for series indicated by a star appear in the
appendix to this volume. The 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS
contains end-of-year figures for 192946 for total consumer credit
outstanding, total installment credit, and total noninstallment credit by
major types of accounts, as well as for 193946 for other items. The
latest revised monthly figures prior to 1973 (other than those shown in

operations of the Federal Government, i.e., only those operations
involving accounts that determine the budget surplus or deficit. All
yearly data shown in the present volume are fiscal year totals. Beginning
fiscal year 1967 actual figures are from the Monthly Statement of
Receipts and Outlays of the U.S. Government, compiled from reports
received from all Government collecting, disbursing, and administrative
agencies and the Treasurer of the United States. Data for prior years
were derived on basis of the unified budget concepts adopted January
1968. The Monthly Statement shows gross receipts, refunds, and net
receipts; and outlays, applicable receipts, and net outlays. Budget
receipts and outlays shown in this volume are "net.**
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), revolving accounts
(financing a continuing cycle of operations in which expenditures
generate receipts, and the receipts are available for expenditure without
further action by Congress), consolidated working fund (established to
receive, and subsequently disburse, advance payments from other
agencies or bureaus), management fund account (to facilitate accounting
for and administration of intragovernmental activities which are financed
by two or more appropriations), trust fund accounts (moneys held in
trust for use in carrying out specific purposes or programs), and transfer
appropriation accounts (allocations which are treated as nonexpenditure
transactions at the time the allocation is made).
Items under receipts are explained as follows: "Individual income
taxes'*—taxes both withheld and not withheld; "social insurance taxes
and contributions"—employment taxes and contributions, unemployment insurance, and contributions for other insurance and retirement
(see also note 2 for this page); "other**—excise taxes (see also note 3 for

basis.
Federal Government receipts are shown in 4 categories: (1) Persoi
tax and nontax receipts consist of individual income taxes (net
refunds), estate and gift taxes, and certain nontaxes such as fines a
penalties; (2) corporate profits tax accruals consists of the Fede
tax on corporate income and the return of Federal Reserve Systen
earnings to the Treasury; (3) indirect business tax and nontax accru
consists of excise taxes, such as liquor, tobacco, and gasoline, custo]
duties and certain nontaxes such as fees, rents and royalties, a
penalties; (4) contributions for social insurance includes payroll ta2
for such programs as social security and unemployment, payments
retirement funds for government employees, and certain insuran
premiums, such as for veterans life insurance.
Federal Government expenditures are shown in 5 categories: (1) Pi
chases of goods and services consists of the compensation of governme
employees, purchases from business and from abroad, and gross inve
ment of government enterprises; (2) transfer payments consists
transfer payments to persons and foreigners. Transfer payments
persons is income payments to persons for which they do not rend
current services and includes payments for programs such as soc:
security, unemployment insurance, medicare, and Federal civilia
military, and veterans pensions. Transfer payments to foreigners consis
of U.S. Government nonmilitary grants to foreign governments
cash and in kind, and of transfer payments, mainly retirement benefi
to former U.S. residents living abroad; (3) grants-in-aid to State ai
local governments consists of Federal payments to State and loc
governments, other than for net interest payments. Major grants-in-a
are for public assistance, highways, education, and general reveni
sharing; (4) net interest paid is interest paid by the Government le
interest received; and (5) subsidies less the current surplus of gover
ment enterprises consists of subsidies, such as payments to farmers, ar
the current surplus of government enterprises, calculated by subtractii
current outlays from sales receipts.
Federal Government purchases of goods and services is the on]
category of Federal expenditures that enters directly into the calculatic
of GNP. Other expenditures enter into the income stream and have a
impact on GNP when spent by the recipients.

'Ordinary life insurance" (including mass-marketed ordinary
nning with 1965 data shown here) is that usually issued in amounts
1,000 or more with premiums payable on an annual, semiannual,
terly, or monthly basis. The term is also used to mean a plan of
ranee for the whole of life with premiums payable until death.
'Group life insurance" is that issued, usually without medical exami3n, on a group of persons under a master policy. It is usually issued
n employer for the benefit of employees, the individual members of
s;roup holding certificates as evidence of their insurance.
Industrial life insurance" is that issued in small amounts, usually
over $500. Premiums are payable on a weekly or monthly basis and
generally collected at the home by an agent of the company.

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 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, June 1959, and June 1965, 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 1947 and monthly data for 1936-72
appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see reference
note, p. 1 of this section). The figures prior to 1934 as shown in the
1942 and 1940 volumes incorporate revisions back to 1913 to exclude
the $287 million 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 million 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. 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). The figures include gold
held by the Federal Reserve banks for foreign and international accounts. The minus sign indicates an increase in earmarked gold. An increase in earmarked gold is the equivalent of net export and a decrease
in the equivalent of net import.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1932-72 (with
exceptions mentioned below) appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of this section). Previously
published figures for net release from earmark should be revised to read

Beginning with 1962, quotations represent the prices at which silver,
in commercial bar form of acceptable brand and quality, is offered to
Handy and Harman for nearby delivery at New York in quantities
sufficient to meet daily requirements. Prior to 1962, prices are for silver
contained in unrefined silver-bearing materials; they were determined
by Handy and Harman on the basis of actual sales of bar silver (0.999
fine) in amounts of 50,000 troy ounces or more for nearby delivery at
New York. Silver contained in unrefined silver-bearing materials submitted for refining is quoted at a discount from silver in commercial
bar form (discount of one cent effective September 3, 1968; fourtenths of a cent from November 15, 1962 to September 2, 1968; and
prior thereto, one-fourth of a cent).

Gold coin was withdrawn from circulation in January 1934, since
the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 (which was the 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 the 1959 and 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.

and the U.S. Government. Effective June 9,1966, balances accumula
for payment of personal loans were reclassified for reserve purposes i
are excluded from time deposits reported by member banks. The I
Government deposits series consists of Government demand depo
at all commercial banks.
The money supply figures and time deposits are seasonally adjus
in accordance with the ratio-to-moving-average method, described
the June 1941 Federal Reserve Bulletin. Seasonal adjustment fact
are derived separately, on a semimonthly basis, for the two compone
of money supply. The preliminary factors are computed by the Cen
Method II seasonal adjustment program, with appropriate adaptati<
to semimonthly data. Seasonal factors produced in the machine n
are subsequently reviewed and are modified and balanced according
the procedure outlined in the June 1941 Federal Reserve Bulletin.
For detailed information on concepts and methods and on i
subsequent revisions of the money supply series, see the Fede
Reserve Bulletins for October 1960, August 1962, June 1964, Septeml
1966, February 1973, and December 1974.

cities and counties not designated as SMSA's). The "6 other leadi
SMSA's," for which data are separately shown, are Boston, Philadelph
Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco-Oakland, and Los Angeles-Long Bea<
The data are shown at annual rates adjusted for seasonal variation a
for differences in calendar composition of days of the week in ea
month.
The turnover rates have been derived from aggregate data for t
groups of centers for which turnover rates are shown. In deriving t
seasonally adjusted rates for each group of centers, the monthly univei
estimates for total unadjusted debits of the component SMSA's we
first adjusted for the calendar and working-day structure of the indMdi
month, by use of the Census Bureau's X-ll trading-day adjustme
procedure, and then converted to annual rates. The resulting debi
after allowance for trading days, were then divided by the average
deposits for the current month-end and the previous month-end. Final
the resulting turnover rate was adjusted for seasonal variation by use
the X-9 modification of the Census Bureau's Method II program f
seasonal adjustment.

Source: Federal Trade Commission. Quarterly estimates for ail
lufacturing corporations (except newspapers), classified by both
istry and asset size, are produced from uniform, confidential inle statements and balance sheets received each calendar quarter
n a probability sample of all enterprises (except newspapers) classified
manufacturers (according to the Standard Industrial Classification
>ugh 1962; beginning 1963, according to the Standard Enterprise
jsification)
required to file U.S. Corporation Income Tax Form
The conventional accounting concept of profits used in the estimates
ers from the national income concept in which capital gains and
.dends received by corporations are deducted from profits, capital
;es and depletion charges are added to profits, and adjustments are
le for international flows affecting profits.
The consolidated enterprise concept used in the estimates eliminates
multiple counting of all interplant and other intracompany transfers
luded in establishment statistics and, to the fullest extent possible,
ninates the multiple counting of all intercorporate transfers included
based on unconsoHdated or partly consolidated reports
m multicorporate enterprises.
The 1st
in this series of quarterly estimates covered each of
quarters in
years 1947 to 1951, inclusive; the 2d sample,
m 3d quarter 1951 to 2d quarter 1956, inclusive; the 3d (current)
iple, from 2d quarter 1956 to date. To splice the estimates based on
ferent samples, an overlap was provided for 3d and 4th quarters
51 and 2d quarter 1956. Also, within the 3d (current) sample, an
jrlap was provided for each quarter in calendar year 1958 to splice
j estimates based upon the 1945 and 1957 editions of the Standard
lustrial Classification. The adoption of the Standard Enterprise
Lssification does not affect the groupings of companies into industry
:egories because its structure follows so closely that of the SIC.
Quarterly estimates for 1951-72 appear in earlier editions of
FSINESS STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of this section).
2
Beginning with 1963 data, the industry classification is based on
$ Standard Enterprise Classification; prior thereto it was based on the
indard Industrial Classification Manual (1958-62 on the 1957 edition;
57 and earlier years on the 1945 edition). The figures from 1958
rward are therefore not entirely comparable with earlier figures,
cept in the case of the lumber and wood products industry and the
troleum refining industry, which were not affected by the change.
3
Beginning 1965 data reflect reelassification of companies between
>aper and allied products" and "instruments, etc." (included in "all
her manufacturing industries").

Owing to a merger of a bakery firm (included in "food and
ndred products") with a tobacco company (included in "all other
anufacturing industries"), data are not strictly comparable with
rlier figures ("food and kindred products" 4 percent lower).
5

Owing to a merger of a paper firm with a lumber company, data
e not strictly comparable with earlier figures ("paper and allied
•oducts" 3 percent lower, "lumber and wood" 5 percent higher).
6

Effective first quarter 1972 data reflect industry reelassification
id are not strictly comparable with earlier figures.
7
Beginning fourth quarter 1973, because of changes in method of
msolidation (to minimize the effect of foreign operations of multiitional enterprises), data are not comparable with those for earlier
sriods. Also, beginning first quarter 1974, data reflect reelassification
f a considerable number of companies from one industry to another.

embrace certain corporate and noncorporate issuing groups exempt
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, by virture of the
nature of either the transaction or issuer, such as issues placed privately,
intrastate offerings, securities of railroad companies, Federal, State, and
local government issues, issues of Federal agencies, including participation certificates, issues of international banks, issues of banks and
eleemosynary institutions, and those between $100,000 and $300,000
in
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 financial publications and special reports from leading
life insurance companies, as well as material filed with the Commission.
Omitted from the statistics are issues that 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 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.
Definitions of the various classifications that are not self-explanatory
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.
Transportation includes railroad and other transportation. 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, and U.S. Government "special issues" (issues to
trust funds and Government agencies) and other interagency sales
being excluded; sales of Treasury bills are also excluded because of their
short-term maturity.
Monthly data for 1947-72 for those series indicated by a star appear
in the appendix to this volume. Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly
data for 1941-72 except as noted below, for all other series appear in
earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of
this section). The correct figure for "extractive" for December 1963 is
$1 million. Monthly figures for 1934-40 are available upon request

Source: Moody's Investors Service. These averages were set uj
1928 to include 10 bonds of each rating (Aaa, Aa, A, and Baa) for Qi
group (railroads, public utilities, and industrials), making 120 bonds
all. Since January 1, 1935, however, there has not been a full set of
bonds in some rating classifications because of the limited number
suitable issues. At that time the Aaa industrials contained only 7 boi
and the Aa industrials only 6, compared with 10 bonds in each of 1
other rating classifications; the total number of bonds was therefc
113. On December 9, 1974, there were 109 bonds used, distributed
each group as follows: Railroad—no Aaa, 9 Aa, 10 A, and 10 I
bonds; public utility-10 Aaa, 10 Aa, 10 A, and 10 Baa bonds; a
industrial - 10 Aaa, 10 Aa, 10 A, and 10 Baa bonds.
Occasional substitutions in the bond list have been made wh
ratings have been changed, when a bond has been called, when a bo
sold too far above its call price, or because of approaching maturii
Suitable adjustments (usually small), which are gradually amortized, i
introduced to prevent such substitutions from impairing the co:
parability of the series. No convertible or other unusual issues i
included. Owing to the lack of sufficient components outstanding, t
Aaa railroad average was discontinued as of December 18, 1967. T
average maturity on December 9,1974, was 27.0 years.
Averages are computed as follows: A daily yield based on t
closing price for each individual bond is first computed and th
unweighted arithmetic averages of these yields are compiled for t
different rating classifications. The corporate averages by ratings (As
Aa, A, and Baa) and the group averages (railroad, public utility, ai
industrial) are compiled by averaging these rating-classification yielc
Thus each rating group enters into the overall averages on the san
basis whether it contains 10 bonds or less. The overall corporate yie
average is the average of the four rating classifications (Aaa, Aa, A, ai
Baa) and is also the average of the three groups (railroad, public utilit
and industrial). The monthly series are averages of daily figures and tl
annual series are averages of 12 monthly figures.

the series included bonds of the 20 largest cities (excluding Washingtoi
D.C.). Substitutions in the list of cities have been made from time 1

The formula used is generally defined as a "base-weighted aggregative"
expressed in relatives, with the average value for the base period (194143) equal to 10. (The base period used results in a price index level that
can for most purposes be considered as interchangeable into dollars and
cents. Thus, 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, splits, etc.
For a complete description of the indexes see the 1968 edition of
"Security Price Index Record," published by Standard & Poor's Corporation. This volume and "Current Statistics" published monthly by
Standard & Poor's, provide weekly figures also.

^erages are based on 30 stocks and the transportation averages on 20
ocks for the entke period beginning October 1928 and March 1928
:spectively; the public utility averages were based on 20 stocks until
me 1938 when the number was reduced to 15.
Substitutions have been made at various times in the actual stocks
icluded in the averages, such as when a stock becomes too inactive, or
hen its movements, because of an extremely low price, become so
nail as to have little effect on the average, etc. Also, over the period
Dvered, a number of splits have occurred in the stocks represented, and
lany large stock dividends have been paid. To preserve the historical
ontinuity of the series, adjustments for these changes have been made,
icluding appropriate adjustments of the dividing factors used to
ompute the averages.
At the end of December 1974, for example, instead of adding the
Losing prices for the 30 industrials, etc., and dividing by the number of
tocks in each group, the computed daily averages were derived by
sing the following divisors: Industrials, 1.598; transportation, 3.051;
tilities, 3.912; 65 stocks, 8.468. (The latest dividing factors will be

Source: New York Stock Exchange. These monthly indexes, introduced in July 1966, are based on the averages of the daily closing prices
of the more than 1,475 common stocks listed on the NYSE. When first
published, the transportation index was based on 76 issues, the finance
index on 75 issues, the utility index on 136 issues, and the industrial
index on the nearly 1,000 NYSE-listed common stocks not included in
the other three subgroup indexes. The number of issues in each group
changes slightly from time to time.
The NYSE Composite Index measures the changes in the aggregate
value of all the common stocks listed on the Exchange. The index base is
set at 50.00 as of December 31, 1965. Adjustments in the base market
values are made, when necessary, to compensate for new listings,
delistings, mergers, and price changes resulting from issuance of rights.
To provide historical continuity the index has been linked statistically
to the weekly index of common stocks compiled by the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the years 1939-64. Similar in structure to the
NYSE index, the SEC index encompassed 300 issues, accounting for
nearly three-fourths of the market value of all NYSE-listed common
stocks. The NYSE Composite Index is thus available on a daily close
basis beginning May 28,1964, and on a weekly close basis from January
7, 1939, to May 28, 1964, the four group indexes (on a daily close
basis), beginning December 31,1965.

(exports), FT 135 (imports), and FT 990 (exports and imports). These
reports also contain a general explanation of foreign trade statistics, as
well as of the sampling procedures and their effect on these statistics.
(See also last two paragraphs of this note regarding sampling.)
Data are compiled from copies of Shippers' Export Declarations and
import entries filed with the U.S. customs officials. The statistics show
trade between the U.S. customs area (the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico) and foreign countries. The Virgin Islands were
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.
Exports.-Total exports include exports of U.S. merchandise plus
reexports of foreign merchandise. Export figures reflect both government and nongovernment shipments of merchandise from the U.S.
customs area, with the exception of the following types of shipments:
(1) Merchandise shipped in-transit through the United States from one
foreign country to another; (2) goods destined for the U.S. Armed
Forces or U.S. diplomatic missions abroad for their own use; (3) bunker
fuel and supplies and equipment for vessels and planes engaged in
foreign trade; (4) through 1967, gold and silver in the form of ore,
sweepings, scrap, etc., bullion, or coins; beginning January 1968, total
only includes shipments of silver ore, base bullion (including sweepings,
waste, and scrap), and refined bullion; beginning January 1969, such
shipments are included in all exports; (5) issued monetary coins of all
component metals; (6) for periods prior to November 1973 for India
and Pakistan and for the periods indicated in earlier volumes for other
countries, "special category" shipments which could not be shown by
commodity or country of destination for security reasons; (7) items of
relatively small importance, such as low-value or noncommercial shipments by mail, household and personal effects of travelers, and goods
for the personal use of U.S. Government employees abroad, 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 are not
available for subsequent years.
Included in the export figures beginning July 1950 are grant-aid
shipments under the Department of Defense Military Assistance
Program and economic assistance shipments under the Mutual Security
Program. These programs are outgrowths of the North Atlantic Treaty
signed April 4, 1949. The data also reflect shipments of agricultural
commodities under P.L. 480 (The Agricultural Trade Development and
Assistance Act of 1954, as amended) and related laws.
The annual data beginning 1954 (in the 1963 and later volumes) and
the monthly data for 1960 (in the 1963 volume) include exports of
uranium and other nuclear materials, formerly omitted for security
reasons; beginning 1961, exports of these materials are included in the
figures by the compilers. (Exports, including reexports, of nuclear
materials were valued at approximately $75,000 in the year 1954;
thereafter, of increasing importance.)
Imports.—The import statistics reflect both government and nongovernment imports of merchandise into the U.S. customs area without
regard to whether the importation involves a commercial transaction.
The import statistics, in general, are a complete record of merchandise




that moves into the United States from foreign countries (except f
in-transit shipments). However, the following are excluded: Americ;
goods returned to the United States by U.S. armed forces; shipmen
not considered to be imports for statistical purposes, or shipments <
relatively small significance in terms of total value or statistical impc
tance, such as personal and household effects, temporary imports, ar
low-valued nondutiable imports by mail; issued monetary coins of t
component metals; and gold in the form of ores, concentrates, was
and scrap, and refined bullion. Silver in these forms is included begi:
rung 1969, unless otherwise indicated. Also, it should be noted that f<
security reasons the figures shown in BUSINESS STATISTICS prior 1
the 1963 volume omit imports of uranium ore and concentrates. Tt
1954-60 annual figures (in the 1963 and later volumes) and the 196
monthly data (in the 1963 volume) include these imports (totaling $7
million in 1954; thereafter, of increasing importance). Effecti\
January 1961, uranium imports have been included by the compiler
General imports are a combination of entries for immediat
consumption and entries into bonded warehouses. Imports fc
consumption are a combination of entries for immediate consumptio
and withdrawals from warehouses for consumption.
Export and import value.—The value reported in the expoi
statistics is defined as the value at the U.S. port of export, based on th
selling price (or cost if not sold), including inland freight, insurance
and other charges to the U.S. port of export. The value, as defined, i
equivalent to an f.a.s. (free alongside ship) value, excluding the cost o
loading the goods aboard the exporting carrier and transportation o
other costs beyond the port of export. The import values, througl
1973, are custom import values, i.e., as appraised by the U.S. Custom
Service in accordance with the legal requirements of Sections 402 anc
402a of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. They may be based 01
foreign market value, export value, constructed value, American seUini
price, etc., and generally represent a value in the foreign country; the}
therefore exclude U.S. import duties, freight, insurance, and othej
charges incurred in bringing the merchandise to the United States. Thi;
valuation is primarily used for collecting import duties and frequently
does not reflect the actual transaction value. Beginning January 1974
data are valued on a free-alongside-ship basis (f.a.s.). The f.a.s. value
represents the transaction value of imports at the foreign port ol
exportation; it is based on the purchase price, i.e., the actual trans
action value and generally includes all charges incurred in placing the
merchandise alongside the carrier at the port of exportation in the
country of exportation.
Sampling.-Effective with statistics for July 1953, sampling
procedures for low-valued shipments were instituted in compiling
export and import statistics. In export statistics from July 1953
through December 1959, data for shipments individually valued
$100-$499 were estimated from a 10-percent sample of such shipments,
except for January through June 1956 when shipments valued
$100-$999 were sampled. Beginning January 1960, the sample ratio for
estimating exports was increased to 50 percent for countries other than
Canada. For Canada, the 10-percent sample was maintained and,
effective January 1963, was applied to shipments valued $100-$ 1,999
(formerly $100-$499); beginning October 1969, data for shipments to
Canada valued $251-$1,999 are estimated from a 10-percent sample.
For countries other than Canada, data for shipments valued $251-$499
were estimated from a 50-percent sample during October-December
1969 and starting again effective September 1970; during JanuaryAugust 1970, data for such shipments were fully compiled. The
estimated data for the above-mentioned low-valued shipments are
combined with fully compiled data for the nonsampled shipments to
produce the commodity, country, and other totals shown in the export
statistics. The statistics also include estimates for shipments valued
under $100 prior to October 1969 and shipments valued under $251
effective October 1969, which are included in country totals but are
not classified by commodity.
In the import statistics, data for informal entries (generally
containing items valued under $251) and various types of formal entries
valued under $100, in general, were estimated for the period July 1953
through June 1965, usually from a 1-percent sample. Data for both
formal and informal entries valued under $251 have been estimated
since July 1965, based on a 1-percent sample for all years except 1967
and 1970, when a 5-percent sample was used. The estimates, although
not classified by commodity, are included in country and other import
totals. The total value of the estimated low-valued shipments generally
amounts to about 1-percent of the monthly or annual import total.

BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1977 EDITION

Export statistics generally show country of ultimate destination
own to the exporter at the time of shipment; if this is not known,
:ry of consignment. Goods consigned to the armed forces or other
sentatives of any foreign country stationed in another foreign
try are credited to the country to which the goods are physically
nports are shown by country of origin, except that where the
rter cannot readily obtain information as to the country of origin,
ountry of shipment is reported. In addition, countries reported as
i may actually represent shipment for merchandise which is transted before it reaches the United States. For some areas, prewar
daries are still designed to serve for statistical purposes in foreign
: schedules, but in practice de facto boundaries have generally
d since the close of the war.
lonthly averages in the 1963 and earlier volumes are based on 12
ths in all cases, although during the war period there was no trade
the enemy and blockaded countries in most months. Monthly data
947-72 for those series indicated by a star appear in the appendix
iis volume.
lonthly data for total exports (1947-72) and for total exports
iding Department of Defense shipments (1948-72) appear in the
;ndix to this volume. Annual data prior to 1947, and monthly data
1955-72 (except minor revisions for 1956 exports to Canada) are
he earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS. The following
fences in the presentation of the data, beginning with the 1963
me, should be noted: (1) Australia and Oceania (formerly included
Asia) are shown separately, (2) India and Pakistan (formerly
bined) are shown separately, and (3) data for uranium, etc.
merry omitted) are included in the annual data back to 1954.
Monthly figures for 1951-54 appear in the 1957 and 1955 editions
BUSINESS STATISTICS; however, data for January-May 1954 for
1 exports and for Europe have been revised to include $3,500,000
itional shipments to Turkey; also, the 1952 monthly averages for
ope, Northern and Southern North America, and South America as
>vn in the 1955 volume are incorrect (see later volumes). Monthly
res for 1949 and 1950 appear in the 1953 volume; those for 1947
1948, in the 1951 volume (there have been scattered revisions of
published figures). Monthly data for 1941-46 (except revisions
itioned below) are shown in the 1949 and 1947 volumes. Most of
published 1946 monthly figures have since been revised. There have
n minor revisions in the 1944 monthly data for general imports for
d Latin American Republics; revisions for August and October 1943
the same series are $131,401,000 and $129,775,000 respectively.
o there have been revisions for 1942-46 of certain previously
dished monthly figures for imports, to adjust for revaluation of
ore imports.
Monthly average back to 1913 and monthly figures for 1938-40,
ept for Colombia and Venezuela, are available in the 1942
PPLEMENT. Monthly figures for 1923-37 for total exports,
luding reexports, total general imports, and exports and imports for
^graphic regions, and for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Canada,
ited Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan are shown in the
10, 1938, 1936, and 1932 volumes. The published figures are correct
*ept for minor revisions in the figures in the 1932 volume and two
jor changes as follows: Total exports, including reexports, August
29, $380,565,000; Europe, total, April 1931, $94,634,000.

exports.
For total exports and agricultural and nonagricultural totals, annual
data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1929-72, except as noted
below, will be found in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see
reference note, p. 1 of this section). The January-May 1954 data for
total U.S. merchandise exports and for total nonagricultural exports, as
published in the 1957 and earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS,
have been revised. Also, the 1947 and 1948 figures shown in the 1951
volume have been revised. There have been minor revisions in the 1946
data and in the figures in the 1932 SUPPLEMENT. Monthly averages
for total agricultural and nonagricultural products shown in the 1942

Unit-value and quantity indexes have been constructed according t
Fisher's "ideal" formula, using weights from the preceding calenda
year and the current period (month, quarter, or year). These indexe
are combined into chained series, using the 1967 annual index as th
reference base. All value indexes are direct ratios of current dolla
values to the average dollar value for the base period.
Commodities are stratified into groups of relatively homogeneou
content. Those not directly covered by inclusion in the samples art
taken into account, for both unit-value and quantity indexes, b]
assuming similar movements in average prices for sample and nonsampl*
commodities within each group. The grouping of commodities anc
the content of the samples have changed over the years. In general
however, selections are closely comparable from one year to th<
next. Except for finished manufactures, covered commodities (i.e.
commodities for which average unit prices are utilized) are fairl>
representative of the leading classes of exports and imports. The more
heterogeneous content of the individual commodity cksses for finished
manufactures limits selection and reduces the reliability of the indexes
as measures of price and quantity change.

BUSINESS STATISTICS, 1977 EDITION

At the present time covered commodities in the indexes represent
>ut 41 percent of the total dollar value of exports. For imports,
5 percentage is about 60 percent.
The indexes reflect all revisions in foreign trade issued by the
reau of the Census through December 1974.
The export indexes shown here do not include military grant-aid
pments, which began in April 1950. These shipments are reflected
the indexes shown in the 1963 and earlier editions of BUSINESS
ATISTICS.
Export and import indexes prior to 1962 exclude trade in silver.

The data cover only waterborne trade, including traffic through
lantic, Gulf, Pacific, and Great Lakes ports. They include shipments
all types of watercraft engaged in foreign trade that are required to
ike formal clearance and to file manifests of cargoes laden aboard
der U.S. Customs Regulations; they also include shipments by vessels
t required to make formal customs clearances, which include ferryats and passenger vessels making three or more trips a week between
J.S. port and a foreign port.
Vessel export figures represent exports of domestic and foreign
^rchandise laden at the U.S. Customs area for shipment to foreign
untries and include export shipments to civilian agencies of the U.S.
jvernment as well as those foreign-aid program shipments that are not
ntrolled by the Department of Defense.
Elements excluded from the vessel export figures for pertinent
riods are as follows: (1) Shipments to U.S. Armed Forces of military
.d naval supplies and equipment for their own use; (2) shipments
"special category" commodities (commodities for which detailed
formation may not be released for security reasons); (3) all
unmodities exported under foreign-aid programs as Department of
sfense controlled cargo (Department of Defense controlled cargo
>nsists of those shipments under foreign-aid programs-such as the
ternational Cooperation Administration Program, the Civilian Supply
ogram, and pant-aid shipments under the Department of Defense
ilitary Assistance Program—which are exported from the United

tartered by the Department of Defense under time, voyage, and space
tarter arrangements); (4) for the periods July 1953-December 1955
id July 1956-December 1962, shipments individually valued less than
>00; for the period January-June 1956, shipments individually valued
ss than $1,000; and beginning January 1963, shipments to Canada
dividually valued less than $2,000 and those to other countries
dividually valued less than $500. However, the annual data (except
>r 1964) include estimates for the $100-$499, the $100-$999, and the
100-$ 1,999 shipments, based on a 10-percent sample of such shipents. (Prior to July 1953, export shipments of less than $100 were
ccluded.)
Vessel import figures are general imports and represent the total of
nports for immediate consumption plus entries into Customs-bonded
torage and manufacturing warehouses made at U.S. Customs area from
3reign countries. The following elements are excluded from the vessel
nport figures: (1) American goods returned by the U.S. Armed Forces
or their own use; (2) import shipments on Army or Navy transports
nd, effective with April 1952 statistics, on vessels under time and
oyage charter to the Military Sea Transportation Service; (3) prior to
954, import shipments valued at less than $100 where the shipping
/eight was less than 10,000 pounds; from January 1954 through
)ecember 1957, imports valued at less than $100 (irrespective of
/eight) and those having a shipping weight of less than 2,000 pounds
irrespective of value); from January 1958-June 1965 those shipments
laving a value of less than $100 regardless of shipping weight; beginning

with July 1965 data, those shipments valued $250 and under reported
on both formal and informal entries.
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) merchandise 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); (5) U.S. trade
with Puerto Rico and with U.S. possessions and trade between U.S.
possessions.
Annual data for 1950-59 are calendar-year totals; for other years,
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 a year to arrive at a calendar-year total.
Monthly figures for 1951-58 (statistical-month basis) for shipping
weight will be found in the 1961, 1959, 1957, and 1955 editions of
BUSINESS STATISTICS (data therein are in long tons; they should be

under $100 shipments on the basis of a 10-percent sample of such
shipments. Beginning January 1963, figures for Canada reflect fully
compiled data for shipments individually valued $2,000 and over
combined with estimated data for shipments valued under $2,000 based
on a 10-percent sample of such shipments.
Imports represent imports for immediate consumption plus entries
into bonded storage and manufacturing warehouses. Prior to July 1965,
the figures reflect fully compiled data for formal entry shipments
valued $100 and over; the value figures also include estimates for
shipments reported on informal entries valued $250 or less (shipping
weight information is not required on the informal entry), based on a
10-percent sample of such shipments. The under $100 shipments on
formal entries are excluded from both the shipping weight and value
data. Beginning July 1965, shipments valued $250 or less reported on
both formal and informal entries are based on a 1-percent sample of
such shipments for all years except 1967 and 1970, when a 5-percent
sample was used.
The following are excluded from the export and import data: (1)
Merchandise shipped in transit through the United States from one
foreign country to another, when documented as such through U.S.
Customs (foreign merchandise that has entered the United States as an
import and is subsequently reexported is included); (2) trade with
Puerto Rico and with possessions and trade between U.S. possessions
(shipments between these areas and foreign countries are included); (3)
shipments to the U.S. Armed Forces and diplomatic missions abroad,
or the return of such goods; (4) shipments of household and personal
effects, shipments by mail and parcel post, and shipments of airplanes
under their own power.

Beginning January 1965, data are not strictly comparable with
those for earlier periods because of the inclusion of "special category"
items removed from the restricted list.

Source: Civil Aeronautics Board. Data cover all certificated route
air carriers. Effective January 1, 1970, CAB defines the domestic group
as covering operations within and between the 50 States of the United
States and the District of Columbia, including operations between
States separated by foreign territory or major expanses of international
waters; the international group (formerly, international and territorial)
encompasses operations between the 50 States and foreign points,
between the 50 States and U.S. possessions or territories, and operations between foreign points. For data prior to 1970, traffic between the 48 States and Alaska/Hawaii is classified as international
and is excluded from the domestic carrier group. (Annual data for 1969
are as restated on the 1970 original reports and are on the 50-States
basis. See note 4 for this page.)
Domestic comprises the domestic operations of the trunk and
all-cargo carriers, the local service, helicopter, Alaskan, Hawaiian, and
other carriers. International covers international trunks and all-cargo
carriers as described in the paragraph above. Scheduled and nonscheduled operations of these carriers are included in the total revenues,
expenses, and income series; revenues by type (shown for the total
industry group) and all traffic series refer to scheduled services only.
Passenger-miles are the sum of all revenue aircraft miles flown on
each interairport hop multiplied by the number of revenue passengers
carried on that hop. Effective January 1974, revenue passengers were
redefined to exclude travel and cargo agents and tour conductors
traveling under reduced-rate transportation. For earlier periods,
nonrevenue passengers covered only airline employees and family
traveling for token charges. Ministers of religion continue to be
considered as revenue passengers. For the months of December 1974
and December 1973, the percentage of nonrevenue passenger-miles to
total passenger-miles is as follows (percent): Total certificated route
carriers, 5.8 and 3.9; domestic, 5.5 and 3.8; international, 7.1 and 4.3.
Passenger-load factor represents the proportion of aircraft seating
capacity that is actually sold and utilized and is the percent that
revenue passenger-miles are of available seat-miles in revenue passenger
service. Total ton-miles apply to the total traffic, that is, passenger
(including baggage) and nonpassenger (cargo and mail) in revenue
service. Ton-miles are calculated as the sum of aircraft" miles flown on
each interairport hop multiplied by the number of tons carried on
that hop for each type of traffic. For example, the passenger ton-miles
(included in the total but not shown separately) refer to 1 ton of
revenue passenger weight (standardized at 200 pounds per passenger,
including baggage) transported 1 mile. Operating revenues cover transport revenues (in scheduled and nonscheduled services, including
passenger and freight charter) and transport-related revenues (including
Federal subsidy and other). Mail revenues for the years 1949-53 include
Federal mail subsidy payments; data beginning 1954 are for service mail
pay only. Also, for the earlier years, the data reflect adjustments for
out-of-period mail payments; data beginning 1954 are for the period
reported (that is, unadjusted for period in which earned).
Monthly and quarterly data for 1967-72 are in the 1975 and earlier
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS; data prior to 1967 are available
in the CAB monthly report, "Air Carrier Traffic Statistics" and the
quarterly, "Air Carrier Financial Statistics." The series shown in the
1969 and earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS are for domestic
trunk carrier operations only.

Total includes other revenues not shown separately.

•* Beginning 1954, data are for service mail pay and exclude Federal
subsidy which is included for earlier years.
4
Beginning 1969, data reflect the 50-States basis: Operations
between the 48 States and Alaska and Hawaii are included in the
domestic group and excluded from the international group of carriers.
Traffic statistics for 1969, comparable with data for earlier years, for
domestic and for international operations, respectively, are as follows:
Passenger-miles (billions), 95.95; 29.47; cargo ton-miles (millions),
1,971; 1,385; mail ton-miles (millions), 616; 729.

Beginning 1974, comparison of operating revenues and expen
with prior periods is affected by revised reporting regulations—"othi
transport-related revenues and expenses are reported gross in operat
revenues and in expenses rather than as net in operating revenues. I
1974, for total certificated route carriers, the effect of the report:
change increased operating revenues and expenses by less than
percent.

intercity motor carriers of property of class I are those having annu
gross operating revenues as follows: Effective 1st 6 months of 199
(and restated 1973 period), 3-year average of $3 million or mor
1971-72, 3-year average of $1 million or more; 1955-70, average (
$1 million or more; 1949-54, $200,000 or more; 1947-48, $100,000 c
more.
Effective 1971, the ICC established a semiannual frequency—1st
months and year—for publishing financial and operating statistics c
class I motor carriers of property in Statement 800 which provide
separate data for intercity carriers. (Quarterly data shown currently i
the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS are for large motor carrie]
and include most of the class I carriers with annual revenues of $3
million or more.)
The data represent intercity carriers of all types of commoditie
comprising common carriers of general and special commodities an
intercity contract carriers; data include both common and contrac
services of these carriers. Operations of local carriers are not included
Tonnage of revenue freight carried includes duplications of tonnag
received from connecting motor carriers. Beginning 1974 (and restate*
1973), data refer to actual tonnage carried; earlier data to bille<
tonnage.
Annual data prior to 1947 and quarterly data (1951-70) are in th
1971 and earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see refereno

The ICC reports show operations for identical carriers for the
current and corresponding year-ago periods. The annual data fo
1949-72 are tabulated so that directly comparable figures are availabl<
for each 2-year period. For the years 1971 and 1970, respectively
1,370 carriers reported operating revenues, $13,055 million anc
$11,126 million; expenses, $12,265 million and $10,728 million; anc
freight carried, 598.5 and 558.5 thousand tons. The 1,443 carrier;

rresponding period for the year 1967; therefore, the indexes are
rectly comparable for the identical quarter of each year (and from

The monthly index (calculated by the link relative method) is based
i the Associations' monthly survey of class I and class II intercity

Sources: Association of American Railroads for financial
perations and revenue ton-miles beginning 1971 and Interstate
Commerce Commission for all other traffic statistics and for financial
tatistics prior to 1971. Data cover class I railroads (see note 7 for
his page) and exclude switching and terminal companies. The AAR
inancial data (from the quarterly report, "Railroad Revenues,
Expenses, and Income") include operations for all Southern Railway
ystem railroads and incorporate restated year-ago figures for the
;urrently reporting carriers; annual statistics for railroads of class I,
mblished by AAR in the "Yearbook of Railroad Facts," may differ
rom those shown in this volume. Statistics published by the two
ources differ in coverage in two ways. The AAR data exclude
>perations of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation which are
ncluded in the ICC data. See note 8 for this page. For the net income
cries, the AAR figures, beginning 1971, refer to ordinary net income
whereas the ICC figures, prior to 1971 are for net income; annual data
or 1967-70 for ordinary net income, comparable with figures shown
>eginning 1971, are as follows (millions of dollars): 554.4; 507.3;
507.3; 229.3.
Net railway operating income represents operating revenues remainng after deducting operating expenses, taxes (payroll, federal income,
md all other taxes—see note 11 for this page), equipment rents, and
oint facility rents. Ordinary net income is the remainder after deductjig from total income (net railway operating income plus other income)
niscellaneous deductions and fixed charges (rent, interest, etc.). Net
income is the remainder after applying to ordinary net income charges
and/or credits for extraordinary and prior period items and Federal
income taxes on these items. It therefore represents income after all
charges and taxes and before dividends.
Data for ton-miles refer to 1 ton of freight moved 1 mile; the total
covers revenue and nonrevenue freight.
Monthly or quarterly data for 1950-70 for revenue ton-miles are in
the appendix to this volume. Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly or
quarterly data for 1934-70 (for taxes and rents, 1938-70 are in earlier
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of this
section). In the 1973 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, the traffic
series (except for revenue ton-miles of freight) were omitted. Quarterly
data for 1967-70 published in the 1971 edition are correct as shown

except that the 1948 annual figure for revenue per ton-mile should read

The index measures changes in prices of shipping goods by rail in
the United States. It reflects price changes for all line-haul railroad
shipments and is not influenced by changes in quantity, shipping terms,
types of service, etc. The index is not intended to measure changes in
railroad revenues or shipper costs that result from changes in service or
mode.
The price index is derived from a sample of shipments from the
Interstate Commerce Commission's 1 percent waybill sample. BLS
obtains data on quantities of goods shipped (and other specifications
for each shipment) from the waybills selected for pricing. The index
relates to the movement of a specific quantity of freight between
two specific locations (line-haul service) and any requested services.
Identical shipments of commodities are used and are defined by precise
specifications to incorporate the principal price-determining factors.
Therefore, the prices used in the index conform with the concept of the
railroad's price for shipping a fixed set of commodities under specified
conditions. The prices used are the rates in effect on the 15th of each
month for identical shipments of commodities; the prices are derived
from schedules (tariffs) published by the carriers.
Monthly indexes for 1969-72 are in the 1975 edition of BUSINESS
STATISTICS (1969 and 1970 are in the descriptive note). A detailed
explanation of concepts, methods, uses, and limitations appears in the
June 1975 MONTHLY LABOR REVIEW (USDL), together with rail
freight monthly price indexes for 11 commodity groups for 1969-74.

Source: Laventhol & Horwath. The data reflect reports received
from several hundred transient hotels and full-service motor-hotels
operating throughout the country. All of the hotels included operate
throughout the year. In 1952, the hotel survey was broadened from the
smaller, postwar sample to include a large number of cities and regions.
Prior to 1972, adjustments were made gradually for changes in the
types and number of hotels participating in the survey. Beginning in
1972, figures for hotels (and restated data for the prior year) reflect
changes in the composition of the sample. Therefore, data prior to
1971 are not directly comparable with figures shown beginning 1971.
No data for motor-hotels are available prior to May 1971.
Figures for average sale per occupied room refer to room revenue,
that is, average daily rent and not to scheduled room rates. The
restaurant sales index for each month is related to the corresponding
month of the base year 1967. 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. The index includes both
food and beverage sales. Data for the principal Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Areas (and for other areas) for the lodging industry room
sales, average room rent, and occupancy rates are also shown in the
original report, "Trend of Business in the Lodging Industry."
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1929-72 for hotels
as noted above, based on a different sample, appear in the 1971 and
earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Data for 1971-72 as shown
in the 1973 edition are weighted averages of combined hotel and
motor-hotel operations. The restaurant sales index as shown prior to
the 1975 volume is based on 1951=100.
5
Data beginning 1951 have been adjusted to the levels of the 1948
Census of Business; 1951 average comparable with earlier data, 79
percent.
6
The 1958 total includes $34.7 million in additional mail payments
applicable to prior years.
7

Effective 1965, class I roads are those having annual operating
revenues of $5 million or more; for the period 1956-64; $3 million or
more; and prior to 1956, $1 million or more. The net effect of the
changes in classification of the carriers for the summary data shown
here is minor. Adjusted operating revenues for I<f64? comparable with
data for 1965, would be lowered by less than 1 percent.

Beginning 2d quarter 1971, data for the National Railroad Passenger Corporation are excluded; for 1971-74, Amtrak (which commenced operations May 1, 1971 reported to the ICC railway operating revenues and net losses as follows (millions of dollars): 1971,
100.9; 91.6; 1972, 162.6; 147.5; 1973, 202.1; 158.6; 1974, 256.9;

The 1st and 2d quarters of 1974 are restated in accordance with
the comparable periods for 1975 (as published in the August 1975
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS) and include provision for
deferred taxes and equity in undistributed earnings (or losses) of
affiliated companies; such provisions are not reflected in earnings for
prior years or the 2d half of 1974. For general comparison under
former accounting method, net railway operating income for 1st and 2d
quarters of 1974 is about $41.0 and $59.0 million lower than under the
system used prior to 1975.

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 the Virgin Islands;
also U.S. immigration offices located in Canada) and foreign territory.
Therefore, travel between foreign countries and outlying areas of
the United States is covered. The Philippines 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 travel over land borders (except Mexican air travel, which is
included effective July 1958), crewmen, military personnel, and
travelers between the United States and its possessions. Cruise travel
(passengers making cruises on round trips without change of vessel) for

A "visit" is the entry of any person into a national park in ordc
to make use of services, conveniences, or facilities provided by th
National Park Service; a person who enters a park several times in
month or year is counted as a "visit" at each entry. (Prior to 195$
figures were collected for the number of visitors.) There are two break
in the continuity of the data—beginning with 1960 and with 1962. Th
first break results from revised methods of data collection and fror
revisions for several parks in the definition of a "visit." For genen
purposes, a Unking factor of 1.15 could be applied to the 1959 data t
raise the figure to a level more nearly comparable with data for th
1960-61 period. The second break results from a redefinition of visit
to Hot Springs (the number of visits in January 1962 totaled 62,600 o]
the new basis as compared with 18,600 visits in January 1961 on th
old basis).

and Puerto Rico and, beginning 1972, in Alaska).
Beginning 1954, only those companies having annual operating
revenues of $1 million or more are required to report monthly to the
Commission; prior thereto, the reporting requirement was $250,000 01
more of annual revenues.
Total operating revenues and operating expenses are shown after

In 1959 and 1968, rules governing renewal of passports were
revised. Originally, passports were issued for 2 years and could be
renewed for 2 more years. For the period September 14, 1959-August
25, 1968, the potential life of the passport was extended to 5 years; the
passport was issued for 3 years and could be renewed for 2 more years.
Through 1960, renewals had accounted for approximately 15 percent
of total passports issued and renewed. Effective August 26, 1968,
passports are issued for 5 years. At the end of this period a new
passport is issued; no passports are renewed. Therefore, beginning
September 1968, data refer to passports issued only.

U.S. coverage (including Hawaii and Puerto Rico; no pertinent operations in Alaska).
Production figures are net, i.e., gross production (original production
plus production by redistillation) minus the quantity used in redistillation. Through June 1960, the production figures relate to production
of ethyl alcohol by industrial alcohol plants. Beginning with July 1960,
the figures cover alcohol and spirits produced by facilities of distilled
spirits plants.
It should be noted that in 1960 the industrial alcohol plant,
registered distillery, fruit distillery, alcohol bonded warehouse, internal
revenue bonded warehouse, distillery denaturing bonded warehouse,
denaturing plant, rectifying plant, and taxpaid bottling house were
redesignated as distilled spirits plant and its facilities; see Public Law
85-859.
Quantities for denaturation represent "withdrawals" of ethyl
alcohol for denaturation. Beginning July 1950, data represent products
"used" for denaturation, i.e., domestic ethyl alcohol, imported ethyl
alcohol, and spirits (except rum). Since July 1950 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.
Figures through June 1960 for taxable (or taxpaid) withdrawals are
those reported as withdrawals of ethyl alcohol from industrial alcohol
bonded warehouses. Beginning with July 1960, the figures represent
withdrawals of alcohol and spirits from bonded premises of distilled
spirits plants.
In addition to the taxable withdrawals and tax-free quantities
withdrawn for denaturation, various quantities are withdrawn tax-free
for hospital, scientific, and educational use; for use of the United
States; to foreign-trade zones; and for use in Puerto Rico (under
permits issued) for medicinal, beverage, and other purposes. These
transactions, of course, affect the stock figures (referred to below);
stocks are also affected by losses.
Stock figures through June 1960 are those reported for ethyl
alcohol at industrial alcohol bonded warehouses and denaturing plants.
Beginning with July 1960, the data represent alcohol and spirits in
bonded storage at distilled spirits plants, including stocks in denaturing
facilities of these plants.
A tax gallon for spirits of 100 proof or over is equal to the proof
gallon (for spirits of less than 100 proof it is equal to a wine gallon). 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.
"Proof" is the ethyl alcohol content of a liquid at 60°F., stated as
twice the percent of ethyl alcohol by volume. Data shown in earlier
volumes are expressed in proof gallons, which, for all data covered here,
are synonymous with tax gallons.
More complete data for alcohol and spirits, including details by
States, are available in annual reports entitled Alcohol and Tobacco
Summary Statistics, published by the source.

Data for all plastic and resin materials, except for polyvinyl resins,
are on a dry basis (defined as total weight of the material including
resin, plasticizers, fillers, extenders, colors, and stabilizers, but
excluding the weight of water, solvents, and other liquid diluents).
Polyvinyl resins (with the exception of sheeting and film prior to 1951)

Data from 1951 forward represent estimates of total factory shipmc
of finished paint, varnish, and lacquer products, based on figi
obtained from a sample designed to measure total activity of
industry in the United States. Effective with the 1968 data, there
310 companies in the sample.
Beginning with data for January 1963, the estimates are deri
from a sample consisting of a panel of respondents selected on the b;
of information reported in the 1958 Census of Manufactures and fr
other sources. These estimates indicate a higher level of activity tl
those previously published, and are not comparable with those
earlier periods.
A change was made in reporting procedure, effective with data
January 1961, whereby the respondents were instructed to rep
actual receipts from sales, instead of sales on f.o.b. basis as formerly
number of the larger companies had already been reporting actual sa
thus the effect on comparability is limited.
The estimates beginning with January 1958 are not comparable w
earlier .estimates because of (1) the use of data from a new panel
respondents based on information reported in the 1954 Census
Manufactures and from other sources, yielding higher and m<
accurate estimates than those from the previous sample; and (2) 1
fact that the definitions of "trade products" and "industrial finish*
were changed to relate to specific products and not, as formerly,
customer classification (trade and industrial). For example, "to
products," as currently defined, are stock-type commodities genera
distributed through wholesale-retail channels, whereas the te
"industrial finishes" relates to products specifically formulated to nn
the conditions of application and use of the article to which appl:

strie light and power industry contributing to the public supply of
stricity. The figures comprise operations of all private, municipal,
>perative, governmental, and industrial enterprises engaged in the
>duction or distribution of electricity for the use of the public. The
imated totals are based on reports from enterprises representing in
ent years approximately 97 percent of the industry.
Owing to differences among respondents in the "commercial and
.ustrial" classification, and the continuous reclassification between
all and large light and power companies, year-to-year comparisons
more significant when made of total commercial and industrial sales
in when made of each separate classification.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1938-72 (except
57 and 1958 for commercial and industrial), with qualifications
mtioned below, appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS

;cause of the diminishing importance of manufactured and mixed gas
lative to natural gas, data listed separately for these in the 1971 and
trlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS are shown in aggregate as
>tal utility gas beginning with the 1973 edition. Sales data, formerly
•esented in therms, are reported in British thermal units (Btu's).
ough conversions may be made from therms to Btu's by equating 1
lerm to 100,000 Btu's, and from Btu's to cubic feet on the basis oi
cubic foot equal to 1,000 Btu's.
The number of customers excludes customers purchasing gas for
isale. Likewise, the sales and revenue figures exclude data for gas
;sold.
The various classes of service are based on the primary purpose for
hich the gas is used or the type of customer to which a stated rate
lall apply. The common classes of service as applied to ultimate
unsumers and as recommended by the AGA for use by utilities,
though not uniformly accepted, are defined below.
"Residential" applies to service supplied for domestic purposes
nder individual contracts in a single-family dwelling or building, or in
i individual flat or apartment in a multiple-family dwelling or building
r portion thereof occupied as the home, residence, or sleeping place of
ne or more persons.
"Industrial" applies to service supplied for a process which creates a
roduct or changes raw or unfinished materials into another form or
roduct (including electric generation), or which involves the extraction
f a raw material from the earth. "Commercial" relates to service to
ustomers engaged in wholesale or retail trade, agriculture, communicaons, finance, fisheries, forestry, insurance, real estate, transportation,
tc., and to customers not directly involved in other classes of service.
"Other" service applies to municipalities or other governmental
gencies, and interdepartmental sales if made under a definite rate

Quarterly data for 1969 and 1972 are in the 1973 BUSINESS
STATISTICS; those for 1945-68 for customers, sales, and revenue from
sales for natural gas and manufactured and mixed gas shown separately,
except as noted below, appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of this section). The sales figures
for 1945-48 in the 1951 and earlier editions are expressed in cubic
feet instead of therms. A therm is a unit of heat content representing
100,000 Btu's and is roughly equivalent to 100 cubic feet of natural gas
and 185 cubic feet of manufactured gas (see 1st paragrph of this note
for rough conversions). Quarterly data for 1945-72 for total utility
gas comparable with annual data shown here are available from the
Association.

States, including Hawaii and Alaska (no operations in Alaska in recent
years). The figures represent production, taxable withdrawals, and
stocks (on brewery premises) of beer, ale, and other liquors produced
from fermented malt. Cereal beverages (i.e., beverages containing less
than one-half of 1 percent alcohol by volume) are not included.
In addition to the taxable withdrawals published here, the original
reports show data for tax-free withdrawals, covering amounts withdrawn for export and for vessels and aircraft, consumed on brewery
premises, and used for cereal beverages.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1933-72 appear in

In addition to whisky, which is shown separately, the totals for
distilled spirits include rum, gin, brandy, vodka, and other distilled
spirits (spirits-fruit produced at fruit distilleries, spirits-grain, spirits-cane,
etc., produced at registered distilleries). 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 Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, 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, see p. 125 of this volume.
The taxable withdrawals of ethyl alcohol 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 for this page for definition of a standard proof
gallon). For spirits of less than 100 proof the tax gallon is equivalent to
the wine gallon.

A standard proof gallon is a wine gallon (231 cubic inches) of
100-proof spirits, the proof being twice the percent of the content, by
volume, of ethyl alcohol. In a wine gallon of spirits that is more or less
than 100 proof, the number of proof gallons is proportionally greater

Data include exports of barley, corn, oats, rye, and wheat, plus the
grain equivalent of malt, cornmeal and corn flour, oatmeal, and wheat
flour as converted from the original data by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis. The conversion factors used to obtain the grain equivalent are
as follows: Malt—1 bushel of malt per bushel of barley; cornmeal (and
corn flour)—6.194 bushels of com to a barrel of cornmeal (or 3.16
bushels per cwt.); oatmeal—7.6 bushels of oats to 100 pounds of
oatmeal; wheat flour-July 1949-June 1957, 2.33 bushels of wheat per
100 pounds of flour; July 1957-December 1963, 2.3 bushels; and
beginning January 1964, 2.33 bushels of wheat per 100 pounds of
flour; from January 1947 through June 1949 the wheat factor varies
from month to month (ranging from 2.172 to 2.33 bushels per 100
pounds), being weighted average based on the proportion of higher
extraction flour sent to certain destinations. For periods when barley
flour and rye were exported, these are also included, converted to grain
equivalent of 5.5 bushels to the barrel for barley and 6 bushels to the
barrel for rye flour. The conversion factors are those used by U.S.
Department of Agriculture and take into account changes in milling
practices.
The weight per bushel for the various grains included is as follows

Data through 1938 (shown in BUSINESS STATISTICS prior to the
1961 edition) 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 wheat-flour
production in 1929-38). Data beginning 1939 (shown in the 1969
edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS) 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 reporting 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
(approximately 250 in 1973) account for about 98 percent of the
estimated totals. Estimates for smaller mills are included on the basis of
their proportion of production reported in the census of manufacturers.
All data relate to regular-grind flour only. In addition, from 1943
through February 1946, some mills produced granular flour, which was
flour coarsely pound for the production of alcohol to be used in the
manufacture of synthetic rubber. For 194346 data for granular flour,
see note 3 for p. 137 of the 1961 BUSINESS STATISTICS volume.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1947-72 and for

(Offal production for November 1933 should read 653,276,000
pounds.) Data for wheat flour are shown in the 1942 and earlier
SUPPLEMENTS in barrels and should be multiplied by 1.96 for comparison with figures given here; offal is shown in pounds and should
be converted to tons of 2,000 pounds.

Prices are for carlots, miller to distributor, baker, or chain store bakery
(prior to 1960 to wholesaler, baker, or chain store). Through 1958 the
quotations are per sack of 100 pounds; subsequently, per 100 pounds
of flour in bulk (see note 13 for this page). Beginning January 1960,
Minneapolis prices cover standard patent and Kansas City prices cover
95 percent patent, instead of short patents as formerly (see note 14 for
this page).
Through 1951 the monthly quotations are averages of the four or
five weekly prices (Tuesday price for Minneapolis and Saturday for
Kansas City) for each month; the annual data are averages of the

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

The content of various other items is as follows: "Beef and veal"beef frozen, in cure, cured and smoked, and frozen veal; "lamb and
mutton"—frozen; "pork"-frozen, dry salt and other, in cure and
cured.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1951-72 for "total
meats, excluding lard" and for 1929-72 for the other series on stocks of
meats appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see
reference note, p. 1 of this section). The comparable item for pork is
designated in the 1940 and earlier SUPPLEMENTS as "fresh and
curred" pork; the series for total stocks of pork (including lard) shown
in those SUPPLEMENTS has been discontinued.
Monthly data prior to 1951 for total meat stocks, excluding lard,
are available upon request (the data shown in the 1953 and earlier
issues of BUSINESS STATISTICS included stocks of lard).

d differ from results of a complete enumeration by less than 2

cane-sugar refiners, beet-sugar processors, importers of direct consumption sugar, and mainland sugar-cane processors. The figures cover both
raw and refined sugar in terms of raw sugar (96° equivalent). One ton
of 96° test raw sugar is assumed to be equivalent to 0.9346 ton of
refined.
Production represents production of domestic cane and domestic
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.

processors and of importers of direct-consumption sugar, stocks of
mainland sugarcane processors, and (through 1952) importers' raw
stocks.

The data for sugar, originally reported in pounds, have been
converted to short tons; figures in the 1942 and earlier issues of the
SUPPLEMENT are in long tons and should be converted to short tons
for comparison with figures shown beginning with the 1947 volume.
Exports of sugar cover both raw and refined (including cane, beet,
maple, brown, granulated, powdered, cubes, etc., but not including
corn, grape, or flavoring sugar). Shipments under the Army Civilian
Supply Program are included.
Data for sugar imports are for cane and beet sugar and represent
imports for consumption for all years. Raw sugar represents all sugar
testing not above 99° by the polariscope, except that certain taxable
amounts polarizing not over 99° but above 98° and not subject to
further manufacture (reported separately since 1957) are classified as
refined, together with all sugar polarizing above 99°. Refined sugar
tinctured, colored, or adulterated is not included through August 1963;

The wholesale price for raw sugar is for cane, 96 polarization, duty
paid, bulk, no quantity specified, market price, importer to refiner,
c.if. New York (the note in the 1940 SUPPLEMENT erroneously states
that duty was excluded).
The wholesale price for refined sugar is the quotation for cane,
granulated, domestic, in 100-pound paper bags, f.o.b. New York. The
excise tax of 0.535 cents per pound is included through 1956.
Monthly prices through 1951 are averages of the 4 or 5 Tuesday
prices in the month; annual figures are the averages of the weekly
quotations. Beginning 1952 prices are quotation averages for one day
each month (usually in the week containing the 15th); annual data are
averages of these midmonth quotations.

The retail prices are for granulated cane sugar and are 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
STATISTICS are per 5 pounds; in earlier volumes they are for 1 pound.
Original quotations were in 10-pound bags through 1949; since 1950,
the original quotations have been for 5 pounds. The change in poundage on which original quotations are based is so small that the comparability of the data is not affected.
Beginning January 1964, data reflect changes in samples and processing procedures adopted with the "new" consumer price index. A
detailed explanation of these appears in the Labor Department release,
Estimated Retail Food Prices by Cities, a special issue containing prices
for December 1963-June 1964.
Beginning July 1967, prices are on a 1967 benchmark and are not
entirely comparable with those for earlier periods. July 1967 price on
old basis is $0.631 compared with $0.623 on the new; the 1967 annual
price is based on July-December data. Beginning January 1969 and each
subsequent January, special benchmark averages are computed by BLS
and are used to compute estimated average prices for succeeding
months within each year. The difference between the estimated average
price for January of any given year (based upon the previous year's
benchmark) and the New January benchmark average is so small that
comparability is not appreciably affected.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1938-72 (except as
indicated below) appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS
(see reference note, p. 1 of this section). Note qualifications mentioned
above and that the earlier published figures should be converted to
price per 5 pounds for comparability with the present series.

factory consumption in end products, and factory and wareh
stocks of animal, and vegetable fats and oils. Establishments canvj
in order to secure information on production, consumption, and st
are as follows: (1) Vegetable oil mills which crush oilseeds and pro
vegetable oils, and other byproducts; (2) plants which employ al
refining or similar processes to clarify crude vegetable oils and rer
excess fatty acids; (3) plants which use animal fats or once rei
vegetable oils to produce edibles such as salad oil, cooking oil, sho:
ing, hard butter, mellorine fats, monoglycerides or diglycerides,
margarine-producing and packaging plants; (4) plants using crud
once refined fats and oils in such industrial products as soap, p
varnish, linoleum, oilcloth, lubricants, animal feeds, resins, pla;
or other products containing substantial amounts of fats and oils
plants which render crude material into edible tallow, and inedible
low and grease, either as their chief operation or as an adjunct to n
packing; (6) terminals and warehouses storing fats and oils in bul
in drums, including public and private storage.
The reported factory production represents the total output in
United States of the specified fats and oils and, except as other
stated, is in the crude state. However, in the case of some animal
such as tallow and grease, factory production does not represent t
production because considerable quantities of these products
produced on farms and by local butchers, wholesale trade estab
ments, and small Tenderers not included in the establishm

The data for consumption include only the consumption in factc

factories, e.g., in homes, restaurants, hotels, and bakeries, and
packagers, painters, building contractors, and machine shops. Thro

Stocks include quantities held by and in transit to produc
factory consumers, and public storages, regardless of ownership,
eluding quantities held for the Government. Stocks in the possess
of household consumers and stocks held in private storage by retail
wholesalers, and jobbers are not included. In some instances, stc
may include some imports not withdrawn from bonded warehou
Beginning January 1959, stocks of oils are in terms of basic oils (cr
and once-refined) and end products only. If a further processed oil
not been converted into a specified end product, it is included am
the stocks of the oil from which it originated.
Since July 1949, producers and consumers of relatively sn
quantities of fats and oils have been required to file annual rep<
only. The omission of these small companies does not affect
monthly totals by more than 1 percent in most cases; the mont
figures are adjusted to an estimated 100 percent based on records
operations during the preceding year. The number of small compai

Data through 1948 represent the tank car price per pound at New York
of prime, summer, yellow, bleachable cottonseed oil. For the period
1949-July 1959 the price is for refined, edible, drums, l.c.l., f.o.b. New
York; for the period August 1959-May 1964, the price is quoted on a
carlot basis rather than l.c.l. Beginning June 1964, the data represent
the tank car price per pound. Beginning July 1970, data represent
cottonseed oil, refined, salad oil, in jumbo tanks (150,000 Ibs.), spot

All data on domestic stemmed tobacco have been converted to an

sand, and moisture in handling. Each type of tobacco has a different
yield; the conversion factors used in these computations are shown in
the quarterly Tobacco Stocks Report, issued by the Tobacco Division
of the Agricultural Marketing Service. 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 are

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT

Coverage of mill 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 55 percent
in recent years; coverage of reports on stocks is less inclusive than for
production and shipments.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data (except for stocks) for
1949, and 1961-72 appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of this section). Revised monthly
production and shipments for 1950 and stocks for 1948-50 are available upon request. Revised monthly data for production and shipments for 1954 appear on p. 24 of the November 1957 SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS; those for 1951-60 are on p. 28 of the
January 1964 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 192948 are
published in the August 1950 Statistical Supplement issue of the
Lumber Industry Report (prepared by the 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; and mine
ties in recent years. The figures for 1947 also include exports of box
shocks; such exports averaged 1,244,000 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. Figures include shipments under the Army Civilian Supply
Program.
Imports of sawmill products are imports for consumption.
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,

monthly reports received from mills covering, in recent years, approximately 53 percent of total output. Although Douglas fir predominates,
output of the region also includes West Coast hemlock, Western red
cedar, and Sitka spruce.
For all years through 1961, except as noted below, production,
shipments, and new orders data were adjusted to trends indicated by
annual production figures reported by the Bureau of the Census. No
such adjustments were made in 1948-51. In 1948 the Census Bureau
made no production survey, while for 1949-51 the Association estimated total industry operations on the basis of mill reports to the
regional association. The 1962-72 data were adjusted to trends indicated by the association's annual survey of production in the region.
Figures for 1975-76 are subject to revision.
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
region. This modification does not seriously affect comparability of the
data.
Shipments include both domestic and export shipments. Data for
stocks apply to gross mill stocks; changes from month to month are
computed from differences between production and shipments adjusted
to reported inventory figures.

Figures for exports and imports of steel mill products are as compiled
by the American Iron and Steel Institute from Census reports, and
incorporate adjustment to reflect uniform coverage or products insofar
as possible. Imports statistics, effective with September 1963, reflect
reclassification of commodities with the adoption of the U.S. Tariff
Schedules; exports statistics, effective 1965, are summarized according
to the revised Export Schedule B (January 1, 1965 and succeeding
editions). Therefore, imports beginning September 1963 and exports
beginning 1965 are not directly comparable with figures for earlier
periods.
Steel mill products include semifinished products, structural shapes,
plates, rail and track accessories, concrete reinforcing bars, bar, shapes
under 3", hot rolled and cold finished bars, pipe and tubing, wire, black
plate, tin plate, and hot and cold rolled and coated sheets and strip.
Exports of secondary tin plate (specifically provided for in the export
schedule beginning 1952) are included in steel mill exports. Pig iron
imports cover pig and cast kon, sponge iron, and ferrous scale. Scrap
imports and exports include tin plate scrap; imports also cover rails for
scrap and rerolling, and exports omit ships for scrapping. Data for both
exports and imports exclude iron ore (shown separately on p. 146),
advanced (or fabricated) steel manufactures, iron products (other than
pig), and ferroalloys.
Exports cover shipments of domestic merchandise; imports are
imports for consumption. For a general explanation of foreign trade
data as well as information on sampling procedures effective with data
for July 1953 and therafter, see note 1 for p. 108.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for exports and
imports of steel mill products (1957-72), scrap (1938-72), and pig iron
(1961-72) are in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see

Includes heavy melting grades and scrap in bundles; tin plate and
terneplate scrap; iron or steel borings, shovelings, and turnings; rerolling
material of iron or steel, iron scrap; and other steel scrap. Data
beginning 1951 have been adjusted to exclude exports of tinplated
circles, strip, cobbles, etc.; these items (amounting to 14,600 tons in
1951) are included in scrap exports for earlier years and in steel mill
products beginning 1965.

industry totals from 1951 forward are derived from a combined survey
covering iron and steel foundries and steel ingot producers. Consumption figures and yearend stocks for 1947-50 were compiled by
the Bureau of Mines based on reports from a smaller sample of
consumers. Annual data beginning 1974 and monthly data beginning
January 1975 reflect an expanded survey of iron and steel foundries;
for 1974 the additional coverage, accounting for about 3 percent of
scrap consumption of direct reduced iron, totaled 614,000 tons.
Annual totals include revisions not distributed to the monthly data.
Production of scrap is from recirculating (home, plant, or recycled
scrap), obsolete (molds, stools, machinery, and buildings—excluding
rerolling rails), and other (including slag) scrap. Receipts of purchased
scrap from dealers and all others are net after deducting scrap shipped,
transferred, or otherwise disposed of during the period.
Complete iron and steel scrap stocks are not available; some producers (railroads and manufacturers) are not canvassed. The original
monthly reports also show production, receipts, etc., of ferrous scrap
by type of manufacturer and scrap consumption by grade.

The composite scrap price represents the weighted average of consumers' buying prices (including brokerage), delivered at the following
markets: Pittsburgh district, Chicago, Philadelphia, Birmingham, and
beginning 1959, San Francisco. Prices at San Francisco were substituted
for prices at Los Angeles, which had been included in the five-city
composite through 1958; therefore, the prices for 1959-60 are not
strictly comparable with data for 1958. Revised weights were introduced in January 1961 and again in January 1962; the prices for these
years are not directly comparable with each other or with quotations
for prior years. The composite price is not available prior to January

Monthly data are industry totals based on reports from a sam
canvass of mines in the United States; they include estimates fo
number of very small mines. Annual figures are derived from act
reports from all known mines and are believed to represent 100 pero
of the industry. The yearend figures for stocks at mines for 1964exclude byproduct materials which are included in the yearend figu
for other years and in end-of-month figures. Ore stocks as of Deceml
31, 1964, comparable with earlier periods, totaled 10,752,000 k
tons.
The data refer to usable ore, i.e., direct-shipping ore (shipp
directly from mines to consumers without any treatment for removal
waste constituents), concentrates (produced by washing, gravity,
other standard methods), and agglomerates produced at mines (
pelletizing, briquetting, or other methods of agglomerating). Agglo

fittings, molds for heavy steel ingots, and other gray iron castings).
Semisteel alloy iron and white iron castings are included in the gray
iron castings total. Tonnages represent the weight of rough castings
before machining. Total shipments include castings produced and consumed at the same location in the production of finished products,
and castings shipped for use by the reporting company or an affiliate,
subsidiary, or parent company, as well as those for sale. Annual reports
for 1944-46, 1950, 1953, and 1955-73 also provide data by State for

data are from companies that account for virtually the entire output of
ingots and all steel for castings produced by ingot makers. Beginning
1967, the term raw steel production has been substituted for ingots
and steel for castings, and refers to the total production of raw steel as
defined. Raw steel is defined as steel in the first solid state after
melting, suitable for further processing or sale; raw steel covers ingots,
steel castings, and strand (continuous) or pressure-cast blooms, billets,
slabs, or other product forms. (The steel casting production included
covers only that which was produced in foundries operated by companies producing steel ingots.) Direct comparability of the raw steel
series and the ingot series will gradually diminish as a larger proportion
of raw steel output is in the form of semifinished steel such as billets,
blooms, and slabs. For the first 3 months of 1975, strand and pressure
casting tonnage totaled almost 9 percent of total raw steel production.

Tective August 1960, primary aluminum, previously listed as
' is sold as "ingot" at the same price level applying to the former
uminum. Improved techniques in production enabled the industry
ep up purity of the primary aluminum to a guaranteed 99.5
nt. As the primary product (previously called processed pig)
ed the former ingot classification, the term ingot was substituted
ig. Therefore, the ingot prices beginning 1960 are comparable with
ig prices quoted for earlier years.

monthly survey of brass mills, copper wire mills, and secondary smelters
(conducted by U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines), on a
quarterly survey of brass and bronze foundries, copper-base powder mills,
and miscellaneous users of refined copper (conducted by BDC), plus
additional information on stocks obtained from the American Bureau of
Metal Statistics. For some years, the annual totals include revisions not
distributed to the monthly data.
Total stocks of refined copper include both own and toll refined
copper held by refiners and fabricators but exclude for pertinent years
copper held in Government stockpile. Stocks of refined copper do not
include copper in process of fabrication, which would be difficult to
estimate because of the mixture of other metals in alloys and of scrap
materials with primary materials. Figures for fabricators' stocks and
consumption cover brass mills, copper wire rod mills, brass and bronze
ingot makers (secondary smelters), brass and bronze foundaries, copperbase powder mills, and miscellaneous users of refined copper. Beginning

Source: Metals Week (prior to 1967, Engineering and Mining
Journal, Metal and Mineral Markets). Beginning February 1970, the
Metals Week price reflects a change in method of calculation as follows:
The domestic price is a weighted average based on the current estimated
United States mine production rates and known selling prices of major
domestic producers, reduced to a delivered wirebar basis (imported
copper is not included in the calculation). The equation used to
calculate the average is changed whenever there is a change in a
company's known production rate or selling price. The monthly averages
are weighted averages of the daily quotations.
Through January 1970, the prices were calculated as averages of
domestic sales for fiat-priced producer copper in the form of wirebars.
Domestic sales (referring to the market in which the copper was sold
and not the origin of the metal) included foreign-produced copper sold
at a flat price in the U.S. market.
In the trade, copper prices are quoted on a delivered basis by
producers, i.e., delivered to consumer's plant. Therefore, the refinery
prices published by Metals Week are not actually prices at refineries but
are calculated as the delivered price minus the average shipping cost.
Metals Week began publishing monthly delivered prices beginning May
1968 (and annual averages back to 1960). In this volume, annual
delivered prices prior to 1960 were calculated by adding the freight
differential to the original Metals Week refinery prices as follows: For
1957-59, 0.4 cents per pound; for 1947-56, 0.3 cents per pound. The
differential for current periods is as follows: January 1970-April 1971,
0.5 cents and, beginning May 1971, 0.625 cents per pound.

Monthly data are estimated industry totals; annual data are based on
Bureau of Mines annual surveys, which include operations of small
companies not reporting monthly.
Total consumption of zinc in the United States is the sum of figures
for slab zinc (galvanizers, brass mills—including ingot makers and
foundries, die casters—including producers of zinc-base alloy for castings,
dies, and rods; slab zinc used in rolled zinc products and in zinc oxide,
etc.), ores, and scrap shown separately. Consumption of ores includes
ore used directly in galvanizing; the scrap consumption excludes redistilled slab and remelt zinc.
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 Zinc Institute).
The Bureau of Mines compiles primary smelter production on a yearly
basis only. Production of primary and secondary redistilled zinc (at
primary and secondary smelters) excludes zinc recovered by remelting
purchased scrap. Beginning 1964 the data reflect national stockpile
surplus zinc commercial sales and sales for government use. For pertinent
periods, the ZI total smelter figures include Government Services Administration metal remelted before shipment. The Mines annual production
data exclude processed GSA zinc. Therefore, all figures, except the
annual production totals reflect GSA metal, including that purchased
for direct shipment.

le data are summarized from three surveys of active producers of
mplete tractors. The monthly report, Tractors, Except Garden
actors (M35S), covers tracklaying, wheel type, and tracklayingictor shovel loaders; the quarterly Construction Machinery (MQ-35D)
port provides shipments of off-highway wheel tractors and wheelictor shovel loaders; the annual reports incorporate, for some series,
visions or additions not previously reported and are on a calendar-year
isis. (Some producers in the monthly survey report additions or
tanges on a fiscal-year basis.) Therefore the quarterly data generally
ill not add to the annual totals.
Wheel- and tracklaying-tractor shovel loaders are specially designed
lits, factory-equipped, with shovel loader type mechanism. Standard
actors shipped with a shovel loader as a front-end attachment
nounted or shipped separately) are excluded from the shovel loader
r
pes and are included in the tracklaying or wheel class. The wheel-type
actors through 1952 include shipments (or sales) of contractors*
ff-highway wheel tractors. (For 1952 these tractors totaled 4,000
[lits valued at $59,800,000.) After 1952, the shipments are reported
sparately under tractors used in construction. Prior to 1957, tractor
lovel loaders shipped as integral units were not reported separately

represent the total output of anthracite in the United States which
from the relatively small area (11 counties) of northeastern
Pennsylvania. Figures are derived from weekly data on carloadings of
anthracite as reported by the Association of American Railroads, proto a monthly basis. A census of mine operators is taken annually,
and the monthly data are then adjusted to the reported total.
As recently as 1974, extractive operations comprised 81 undermines, 92 strip pits, 112 culm banks, 6 river dredges, and 99
preparation plants. About 43 percent of the anthracite production origfrom strip mines, 10 percent from underground mines, 45 perfrom the reworking of refuse piles and culm banks, and the re2 percent from river dredging.
Anthracite is cleaned and sized at preparation plants ("breakers"),
of which are affiliated with mining companies. Some preparation
plants operate entirely by purchasing run-of-mine coal from independent producers, which they clean and sell. Data for 1941-50 include a
amount of bootleg coal purchased by legitimate operators and




prepared at their breakers. Beginning 1951, data include output
small independent producers, many of whom were formerly classifi
as bootleg operators.
Prepared anthracite is shipped to the consumer either by rail
truck. Rail shipments are primarily sold to consumers by wholesale
dock operators, and exporters, whereas truck shipments are usua
sold to local retail dealers.
In 1975, the major domestic uses of anthracite, in order of mag:
rude, were space heating, electric power generation, and miscellaneo
uses in the primary metals industry. Its principal nonfuel use is f
industrial carbon.

production, imports, exports, and changes in stocks. The important
issions comprise stocks on lake and tidewater docks, those at other
jrmediate storage piles between mine and consumer, and coal in

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Data through 1958 are for the United States, excluding Alaska,
Hawaii, and U.S. territories and possessions (except as noted below for
exports and imports); beginning January 1959, data for Alaska and
Hawaii are included in the U.S. totals. The principal terms used and
their meanings (more or less unique to the petroleum industry) are
explained below:
All oils.-Crude petroleum, natural gas liquids, and their derivatives.
New supply of all oils.—Crude oil production, plus production of
natural gas plant liquids, plus other hydrocarbons and hydrogen input,
plus imports of crude oil and other petroleum products.
Total product demand.-A derived figure representing total new
supply, plus unaccounted for crude oil and processing gain, plus
decreases or minus increases in change in stocks of all oil, less crude
losses. Because there are substantial secondary and consumers' stocks
that are not reported to the Bureau of Mines, this figure varies
considerably from consumption.
Domestic product demand.—Total product demand less exports.
Imports.—Through 1958, receipts of foreign oils in the United
States (exclusive of foreign receipts in Alaska and Hawaii, but including
shipments from Alaska and Hawaii to the United States); beginning
January 1959, receipts of foreign oils in the United States, including
such receipts in Alaska and Hawaii (shipments from these two points to
the West Coast, formerly considered imports, are handled as
intradistrict shipments within District V).
Exports.-Through 1958, total shipments from the United States,
including shipments to Alaska and Hawaii (but excluding shipments
from Alaska and Hawaii to foreign countries); beginning January 1959,
total shipments to foreign countries from the United States, including
Alaska and Hawaii (shipments to these two points from the West Coast,
formerly considered exports, are handled as intradistrict shipments
within District V).
Stocks.—Crude petroleum stocks comprise those on leases
(producers' stocks), at tank farms, in pipelines, and at refineries. Stocks
of unfinished oils, natural gasoline, etc. (prior to 1967, shown as
natural gas liquids) are those at plants and terminals and at refineries.
Stocks of refined products comprise those held at refineries, as well as
those at bulk terminals and in pipelines, if any (for liquefied petroleum
gases, also stocks underground).
Beginning January 1963, certain oils have been reclassified and
reported separately as "petrochemical feedstocks." As a result, the data
for production, stocks, and demand for various refined products (i.e.,
gasoline, kerosene, fuel oils, and liquefied gases) are not comparable
with those for earlier periods. However, the total product demand and
total domestic product demand figures are comparable.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1955-72 (except
as indicated in notes 2 and 3 for this page) are published in the 1959
and subsequent editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see reference
note, p. 1 of this section). For references to the availability of monthly
data prior to 1955 for certain constituent series of the supply and
demand compilation, see separate notes pertaining to these series.
2
Crude petroleum production includes some condensate, which is
mixed with crude, and covers oil transported from producing properties
plus that remaining on properties and consumed on leases.
Monthly data for 1947-72 for production of crude petroleum and
1955-72 for imports of crude petroleum and unfinished oils appear
in the appendix to this volume.
3
Beginning with the 1975 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS,
data account for processing gain and crude losses and are not
comparable with data shown in earlier editions.
Total domestic product demand includes data for items not shown
separately.
Monthly data for 1955-72 appear in the appendix to this volume; no
comparable data prior to 1955 are available.
4

Beginning with 1953, separate data are shown for jet fuel (a blend
of low-grade gasoline, kerosene, and distillate fuel oil; gasoline principal
element). Prior thereto, the elements of jet fuel are included in data for
the several original products. (For production and stocks of jet fuel,
separate data are shown beginning 1952; seep. 162.) Data for 1960-63
for jet fuel cover military grade only.
Monthly data for gasoline (1938-72), kerosene (1929-72), distillate
fuel (1932-72), residual fuel (1938-72), and jet fuel (1953-72) appear in

Beginning January 1967, data reflect change in reporting to sho\*
all stocks of unfinished oils, natural gasoline, plant condensate, and
isopentane as one item, and stocks of refined products as another (both
items include stocks at refineries, natural gas processing plants,
terminals, and bulk stations). Also, as a result of increased coverage in
certain bulk terminals, stocks of distillate and residual fuels are on a
new basis. December 1966 data on new basis (mil. bbls.): Total stocks,
881.1; unfinished oils, etc., 93.8; refined products, 548.9; distillate,
158.1; residual, 63.9.
Beginning January 1975, primary stock coverage for the refined
petroleum products has been increased to include approximately 100
additional bulk terminals. For those items actually affected by this
change, comparable December 1974 stocks (mil of bbls.) are: Total
stocks, 1,121.1; refined products, 742.5; gasoline, 228.3; kerosene,
16.9; distillate, 223.8; residual, 74.9; jet fuel, 29.8; and asphalt, 21.6.

Data are indexes developed from revenue and volume data collected
directly from petroleum companies; they are based on the following
specifications:
Kerosene (Light distillate)-Monthly sales to resellers for regular
grade kerosene, stove oil, PS-100, or No. 1 fuel (excluding jet fuel) and
for jet fuel, kerosene base, commercial type to the airline industry
(excluding bonded fuel).
Distillate fuel oil (Middle distillate)-Monthly sales fuel oil, No. 2 to
resellers, f.o.b. refinery or terminal, and diesel fuel, No. 2 or standard
diesel, to large consumers.
Residual fuel oil—For No. 6 fuel, monthly cargo sales, to resellers.
These indexes replace previously published prices shown in the 1973

board industry that consume woodpulp. It should be noted that pu
stocks included for paper and board mills cover, through 1962, stoc
of both "own" pulp and "purchased" pulp. However, beginning wi
data for January 1963, stocks of "own" pulp at paper and board mi

ures for most of the period are estimates of total industry output
sd on reports from all known operating mills and include estimates
nonreporting mills.
Production data pertain to primary operations, i.e., paper and board
.t leaves the cutting, reeling, trimming, sorting, or supercalendering
nations directly behind the machine. Patent and clay-coated boards
. paper coated on the paper machine are considered primary prods, as are building boards and flexible paper insulation. All measuretits cover finished production or machine production less machine
: finishing-room waste.
It should be noted that data for the component items as shown in
1957 and later volumes differ in the following respects from data
earlier volumes: (1) Construction (building) paper, formerly inied in the total for paper, is now combined with construction board;
wet-machine board, formerly included with paperboard, is now
>wn as a separate item.
The paper total, as presently constituted, comprises such major
ns as newsprint, groundwood paper (uncoated), printing and conting paper (coated), book paper (uncoated), bleached bristols
eluding cotton fiber index and bogus), writing and related papers,
;kaging and industrial converting paper, special industrial paper,
itary paper, and tissue paper (except sanitary and thin paper). The
>erboard total comprises unbleached and bleached packaging and
.ustrial converting paperboard; semichemical paperboard; combinan paperboard-shipping container, folding carton, setup; and special
nbination packaging and industrial converting paperboard. Wetchine board comprises binders' board, shoe board, and other wetchine board. The construction paper and board total covers conjction paper and hardboard, insulating board, and hard pressed
od fiber board.
The annual totals contain revisions not distributed to the monthly
ires. An approximate adjustment of the monthly figures can, of
irse, be made by multiplying the reported monthly figures for the
ious items by factors obtained by dividing the revised annual total
the totals of the monthly data.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1953-72 appear in

Source: American Paper Institute, Paperboard Group. The data
represent estimated industry totals compiled by the Institute from
reports of member companies accounting in recent years for approximately 90 percent of total industry output. These reports are supplemented by estimates for nonmember companies based on annual
reports obtained by the Institute from practically all mills known to
produce paperboard.
The data for new orders and production are weekly averages for
the month or year; those for unfilled orders are as of the end of the
month. The annual data are averages of the weeks in the year.
Because of the manner in which new orders are received by the
mills, weekly averages for these do not cover the same weeks as
production.
For new and unfilled orders, beginning January 1962 only the
weeks ending on the 1st of a given month are included in the averages
for the preceding month; prior to 1962, weeks ending on the 1st, 2d,
and 3d of the month were considered in the previous month. Beginning
January 1965, data for new and unfilled orders are weekly averages for
the 4-week period ending on the Saturday nearest the end of the
month.
Monthly data back to 1939 (to 1953 for new orders) are available
upon request.

Source: Fibre Box Association. Data are estimated industry totals
based on weekly reports of member companies covering almost 90
percent of the industry and on estimates of nonreporting companies;
these current data are subsequently adjusted to final figures obtained
by the Assocktion in an annual survey that covers a greater portion of
the industry than the weekly reports and that is supplemented by
estimates for nonreporting companies. Figures measure the surface area
of corrugated and solid fiber containers, including the area of interior
packings.
Monthly data are computed by the Bureau of Economic Analysis
from reported weekly and, beginning January 1965, biweekly data.
Weeks falling in 2 months are prorated on the basis of a Sl/i day workweek (6 days prior to 1953); data are distributed on a 4*/2 day basis
when New Year's Day or July 4 falls in the week prorated, and on a
5-day basis when Memorial Day is involved.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1941-72, with the
exceptions noted below, appear in earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of this section). Monthly data
for 1934-40 appear on p. 20 of the September 1944 SURVEY.
Minor revisions have been made in previously published monthly
data of 1940-52 to adjust prorated monthly figures for observance of
New Year's Day (affecting December and January data) and for Memorial Day (half day affecting May and June data); other minor revisions
in the annual totals for 1940-54 were not distributed by months.

Source: Paperboard Packaging Council (General Packaging
Division). Data are based on reports (in 1974) of 150 member plants
reporting monthly, and additional member and nonmember plants
reporting annually for a combined total of 165 plants, which account
for about 80 percent of the total industry production. Except for milk
cartons, the data include all dry-and-wet-type folding cartons. Tonnages
for shipments of boxes are converted to industry-wide totals.
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.

100-percent industry totals, based on reports from manufacturers
accounting for a large proportion of the industry; estimates are
included for nonreporting companies. Except as indicated, the
monthly estimates have been adjusted to reported annual totals.
Figures through 1957 for casings apply to automotive casings only;
motorcycle tires are included beginning January 1958, mobile home
tires beginning January 1972. Data for inner tubes cover automotive
tubes and, beginning 1951, also motorcycle tubes. The figures do not
include data for solid rubber tires or pneumatic tires for bicycles,
and aviation, industrial, and agricultural equipment.
Total shipments include all shipments to purchasers from factories, regional branches, and sectional warehouses (except shipments
to other tire manufacturers, i.e., intermanufacturer purchases) and
also transfers to company-owned 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. 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. 167. Data from the latter source
cover exports of domestic merchandise to foreign countries based on
declarations of all exporters; they include, in addition to new automotive tires, used and retreaded tires for the period through 1957 and
motorcycle tires for the years 1952-57.
Stocks include quantites held at factories, regional branches, and
sectional warehouses; stocks in transit between such points; consigned
stock; and stocks purchased from other manufacturers.
Annual data for 192946 and monthly figures for 1936-37,
1939-54, and 1961-72 for all series (except 1936-37 and 193940

exports as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce (see
explanation of the data above) plus shipments to Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico, and, for 1935 through 1939, the Virgin Islands; while
replacement shipments are total shipments less these export figures
and shipments for original equipment. However, for most years
these data for exports and replacement shipments do not vary
significantly from the export and replacement shipments reported
by the Association. Annual data back to 1910 and monthly figures

; figures are estimated industry totals based on monthly reports by
tving mills; for cotton gray goods, the estimates are based on data
lected by the American Textile Manufacturers Institute, Inc.
The estimates measure monthly trends; quarterly or annual reports
production are received from companies enumerated in the
ited Census survey (M22T) which are not included in this survey,
ven Fabrics, (M22A). Therefore, because of differences in sampling
I coverage, the present series is generally used as a measure of
nthly changes in production, stocks, and unfilled orders, while
quarterly series (pp. 173-175) provide more reliable levels of
>duction. The monthly production figures represent 4- or 5-week




170-17 J

reporting periods as follows: For 1973, 1974, and 1975, January,
April, July, and October (and for 1975, December) cover 5 weeks;
for 1976, March, June, September, and December cover 5 weeks;
other months are for 4 weeks.
The weaving mill operations are summarized from a monthly
report that shows separate data for number of looms, production,
stocks, and unfilled orders for cotton gray goods, manmade fiber gray
goods (except blanketing, silk, paper, etc.), and wool apparel fabrics
(for gray and stocks and unfilled orders for finished goods). The
summarized figures, shown here reflect certain qualifications, which
are listed as follows: 1.) Inventories are the sum of gray goods stocks
owned by weaving mills and stocks billed and held for others (except
as noted below). Total inventories include data reported by woolen
and worsted finishing plants and small quantities of finished cotton
stocks; excluded are finished wool apparel fabric stocks (including
finished polyester-wool fabrics) in possession of weaving mills,
inventories of cotton bedsheeting, all blanketing, toweling, and denim
stocks billed and held. 2.) Unfilled orders include weaving mill orders
for finished wool apparel fabrics (including, beginning 1964,
polyester-wool finished fabrics). Since all wool fabrics are produced
at weaving-finishing mills, "unfilled orders" for gray goods are
insignificant. Excluded are orders for cotton bedsheeting, toweling,
and all blanketing. 3.) For cotton fabrics, as noted above, the
inventories include small quantities of finished goods; excluded from
inventories are denim stocks billed and held and all inventories and
unfilled orders of bedsheeting, toweling, and blanketing. 4.) Manmade
fiber fabrics stocks include polyester-wool gray goods inventories.
Beginning 1964, total unfilled orders include figures for polyesterwool finished fabrics which are omitted from the earlier data and
from the manmade gray fabrics backlog, shown separately. Beginning
1964, classifications were substantially revised and the survey was
expanded to include drapery fabrics.
The original reports also show separate figures for manmade and
woolen and worsted apparel fabrics by type of fabric; production,
stocks, and unfilled orders for finishing plants by type of fabric;
stocks and unfilled orders for converters, wholesalers, and other
piece-goods dealers.
Monthly data for all series for 1963-72 (as noted below) are in
earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see reference note, p.

The monthly data aie compiled from reports received from consumers
of cotton accounting for over 95 percent of total consumption of
domestic and foreign cotton in the United States. Annual reports are
obtained from companies not reporting monthly and are used to
revise the monthly data. Domestic cotton consumption is expressed
in running bales and foreign cotton in net-weight bales. Consumption
(on the cotton system) refers to materials which have passed through
the opener, or have otherwise been removed from inventory and put
into process for spinning, bleaching, etc. Monthly data are for 4and 5-week periods as follows: For 1973, 1974, and 1975, January,
April, July, and October (and for 1975, December) cover 5 weeks;
for 1976, March, June, September, and December cover 5 weeks;
other months are for 4 weeks.
The monthly reports of the Bureau of the Census show total
consumption and stocks by area and State, by type, and by origin
(domestic or foreign growth); and world supply and distribution of
cotton. For recent years, consumption is also shown expressed in
thousands of pounds, net trading-weight basis.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1923-72 are

Lint cotton is shown in running bales (imports and consumption
of foreign cotton are expressed in net-weight bales). In order to measure accurately the size of the cotton crop, it is necessary to convert
running bales, which vary in weight, into bales of uniform weight.
Bale weights are collected on a sample basis from the ginners several
times during the season. On the basis of these reports, the number of
equivalent 480-pound net-weight bales were computed for each county
and State. Annual production in terms of equivalent 480-pound netweight bales is shown below.

Total stocks include ginned stocks in all hands, both private and
Government controlled, and also, for dates in harvesting periods, the
unpicked portions of the current crop. The Bureau's cotton statistics
are reported for 4- and 5-week periods; stocks are for the end of the

of the month. Figures are in running bales, except for foreign cotton
which has been converted to net-weight bales. Stocks of foreign
cotton (not shown separately) may be obtained by subtracting total

Effective with 1951, production of broadwoven mixed goods is
issified according to chief fiber content by weight. Therefore, cotton
>rics are wholly or chiefly by weight of cotton (a fabric, 40 percent
tton, 30 percent rayon, and 30 percent acetate, is classified as manide fiber fabric). Blends and mixtures, by weight 50 percent of one
•er and 50 percent of another fiber, are classified according to the
>er of greatest value (a fabric 50 percent polyester and 50 percent
tton, is a manmade fiber fabric). A fabric containing 5 percent or less
a second fiber is classified as being 100 percent of the first fiber
wool fabric containing 5 percent or less silk fiber is classified as a 100
rcent wool fabric).

The figures represent the entire production by all known weaving mills
(regardless of their primary activity) of broadwoven fabrics, over 12" in
width, of manmade fibers, silk, paper, and other specialty fabrics. The
data are derived from the Census quarterly survey, Broadwoven Fabrics (Gray), Form M22T.
Effective with data for 1964, the Census revised the presentation of
manmade fiber fabrics production by fabric classification. No comparable quarterly data prior to 1964 for the separate categories are
available. Total production includes (in addition to the filament, spun,
and mixed-yarn fabrics shown separately) silk, paper, specialty fabrics
(including drapery and bedspread), and blanketing. Beginning 1976,
production of blanketing is included in the "total spun yarn fabrics"
group; prior to 1976, blanketing is included in "silk, paper, and other
specialty fabrics," not shown separately (see note 3 for this page).
Beginning 1951, all broadwoven goods are classified according to
principal fiber content. Manmade fiber goods are defined as those
containing 51 percent or more of manmade fiber by weight. Prior to
1951, the figures exclude mixed manmade fiber fabrics containing as
much as 25 percent (or more) of wool, whereas beginning 1951,
production also covers yardage of chiefly manmade fiber fabrics
produced on woolen and worsted looms.
The original reports show production by type of fabric and fiber,
yarn consumed by type of yarn, number of looms in place, and loom
hours operated. Production of manmade fiber tire cord and tire fabric
by type of goods is also shown quarterly.
Annual data prior to 1947 and quarterly data prior to 1973 for total
manmade fiber fabrics, and quarterly data for 1964-72 for all series except polyester and glass filament yarn fabrics are in earlier editions of

1977 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Source: U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census.
Annual totals, except for the most current year, are from the "Apparel
Survey," MA23A, and represent cuttings by establishments accounting
for about 99 percent of the output of the items listed. The monthly
(from "Men's Apparel," M23B) are based on a sample of establishments accounting for from 80-90 percent of output. The monthly
data are in substantial agreement with the annual series; differences for
some items are because of sampling fluctuations, errors in reporting,
coverage (such as the introduction of new producers and new
products), and the benchmark in use. Production (cuttings) includes
reports from jobbers reporting output made from their materials;
operations of contractors producing garments for other companies
are not covered. (Also excluded are small quantities of garments cut as
secondary products by establishments primarily producing other
apparel and accessories.) Figures for Alaska and Hawaii are included
beginning 1959.
Based on comparison of reports received from the 1972 Census of
Manufactures, the Bureau expanded the Apparel Survey for 1973 to
include additional establishments and made changes in some product
classifications, etc. Data were also received for 1972, but all figures
shown prior to 1972 are not directly comparable. Other breaks in
comparability are noted in the shirts and slacks series.
Suits include formal wear; separate coats cover suit-type coats
(including separate formal wear); shirts exclude work shirts and cover
street, business, dress (with collar bands, neck sizes, sleeve lengths, and
shirt tails), and casual wear shirts (without collar bands, sized S-M-LXL). Beginning 1972, shirts also include knit outerwear sport shirts.
Separate dress trousers exclude all walking shorts, separate uniform
trousers, and jean-cut slacks. Slacks (jean-cut), casual: For this
category, data prior 1970 (shown in italics) cover dungarees, waistband overalls, and "jeans"; annual data for 1970 and 1971 also cover
work pants and jean-cut slacks; annual figures beginning 1972 and the
monthly data refer only to the casual jean-cut slacks.

are estimated industry totals for all types of men's, women's, children's,

hosiery made in the United States.
Annual reports of the Association provide monthly production,
shipments, and end-of-year stocks by type, by fiber content, and by
annual production by geographic areas; and hosiery imports and
exports by type, fiber content, and by country.

Includes cuttings of men's dress (or walking) shorts not covered
in other years; such cuttings totaled 4,972,000 units in 1961 and
7,444,000 units in 1962.
6
Beginning 1964, annual totals for suits include production of
women's uniform suits. Monthly data exclude these types.
7
For 1965 and 1966, suits include an unknown quantity of knitted
dresses.
8

Beginning 1965, data for suits also include suits made from
knit fabric (not included in earlier years); for the years 1965-68,
suits made in knitting mills totaled 5,772,000; 3,016,000; 3,547,000;
3,578,000.
9

Effective 1970, suit cuttings include figures for pant suits and
jumpsuits (no figures for these types are available prior to 1970).
10

For 1970 and 1971 data refer to jean-cut casual slacks, dungarees,
waistband overalls, and work pants, and are not comparable with
production for other periods shown. According to the 1973 annual
Apparel Survey, in 1972, cuttings of these types of apparel totaled
19,263 thousand dozens.
11
Effective 1972, the data are limited to casual jean-cut slacks only,
but the Bureau states that definitional problems exist. For the period
January-July 1974, these cuttings may be overstated by from 2 to 5
percent.




12
The shirts category, effective 1972, also covers knit outerwi
sport shirts (from knitting mills); annual cuttings of these shirts
1972 and 1973 totaled 13,248 and 14,104 thousand dozens. F
January-July 1974, cuttings of dress and business shirts, includ
in the total, may be overstated by from 5 to 10 percent.

Monthly data exclude cuttings of uniform suits (which j
included in annual totals through 1975); for 1971-75, annual cuttii
of uniform suits averaged 275,000 units per year.

Beginning 1965, exports cover nonmilitary new passenger cars (including station wagons) and, as shown on p. 179, trucks, truck chassis,
and truck tractors; motor buses; and special-purpose vehicles (gasoline
or diesel). The data refer only to assembled vehicles (including cars and
trucks originally assembled, but disassembled solely for shipping purposes) and to chassis with engines mounted (for example, a complete
truck less body). Not covered are used or unassembled vehicles, military
vehicles, cranes mounted on truck chassis, fire engines, automobile
bodies, and off-highway trucks and trailers (see next paragraph). Prior
to 1965 exports are tabulated according to classifications then in effect
and unassembled vehicles are included in the pre-1965 figures shown.
The increase in exports to Canada, beginning 1965-66, reflects the effects of the Automotive Products Trade Act of 1965 which permits
duty-free entry into Canada of specified U.S. vehicles. Revised classification beginning January 1969 eliminates vehicles which operate in
whole or in part on runners or skis (exports of any such vehicles in the
period 1965-68 would be included).
Beginning with data for 1966, exports of two additional types,
off-highway trucks and trucks with derrick assembly, winches, etc., for
drilling, are included.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for 1963-72 (exports
to Canada for 1965-72) are in earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of this section). Note the additional
coverage of exports of off-highway trucks, etc., is not reflected in
monthly data prior to 1971 in the aforementioned volumes. Monthly

Comparability of the data for the period shown is affected by the various classification schedules in effect. Beginning 1963 data are in accordance with the Tariff Schedules of the United States Annotated; for
the period 1963-April 1966, the data include units not specifically
identified. Comparability is also affected by the Automotive Products
Trade Act of 1965. Under this Act, specified Canadian vehicles are
permitted duty-free entry into the United States. The total from
Canada as shown includes small quantities of duty-paid cars not
covered by APTA.
Passenger cars. Beginning May 1966, imports of cars represent
complete units of new, four-wheeled, on-highway passenger automobiles. See also note 7 for this page.
Trucks and buses-see p. 179. Beginning 1966 data cover imports
of trucks and motor buses, truck tractors (with their trailers), fire
engines, separate truck bodies (including cabs) and chassis, and beginning 1972, automobile trucks valued less than $1,000. Not covered are
truck tractors imported separately from their trailers, and vehicles constructed and equipped to perform special services, such as mobile
cranes, wreckers, concrete mixers, mobile clinics, etc.
Annual data prior to 1947 and monthly data for cars and trucks
for 1963-72 (imports from Canada, 1966-72) are in earlier editions
of BUSINESS STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of this section).
Note that monthly data for truck imports for 1966-71 do not include
imports of separate chassis and bodies.
Data shown in the 1965 and earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS cover complete units and chassis, separate bodies for assembly or
replacement, and used cars; data are not shown separately for trucks.

Imports cover all foreign cars, including domestically sponsored cars
manufactured overseas. Excluded are U.S.-type cars manufactured or
assembled in Canada and imported into the United States free of duty;
such cars are counted as domestic car registrations. Beginning 1965,
Volkswagen station wagons are counted as passenger cars (prior to
1965, as trucks).

Derived from a monthly survey, the data represent coverage of
known firms engaged in the manufacture of truck trailers and refer
trailers (drawn by a truck or truck-tractor) having one or more ax
with a rating of 10,000 pounds or more per axle.
Prior to 1958 the data cover total truck trailers, i.e., the number
units shipped, including trailer chassis only, for sale separately. Eff<
tive 1958, shipments of complete trailers and chassis are defined
trailers in which the body is permanently attached to the chass
not included are new trailer chassis shipped with detachable traile
Also, beginning 1958, the data include complete trailers reported i
manufacturers who purchase the chassis and add the body; prior
1958 such assemblies are excluded. Detachable trailer bodies refer
aE trailer bodies manufactured with or without detachable chassis
running gear, including those for use on ships or rail cars (minimi]
size 8' x 8' x 10'). Detachable trailer chassis (and running gear), man
factured for use with detachable trailer bodies, cover all detachat
chassis, whether shipped with detachable bodies or not.
The Highway Traffic Safety Administration Regulation, "Tru
Air Brakes Standards," requires that the braking system for the
vehicles meet the same standards as other vehicles effective 197
Shipments were high through 1974 as buyers anticipated the additior
cost of the new systems beginning 1975. The large volume in 19;
reflects in part Defense Department procurement of small-capaci
trailers of special construction.
The total for complete trailers and chassis includes in additi
to vans, the following types: Tank; bulk commodity and dry materi*
(except vans); pole, logging and pipe; platform; low-bed heavy haule:

Sources: Beginning 1966, published jointly by the Association of
American Railroads and the American Railway Car Institute; prior to
1966, by the Institute. The data cover all car builders (both equipment
manufacturers and railroad and private-line shops). The figures cover
new freight cars for domestic use only and pertain to all types of
cars for railroads, private car lines and industries, and governmental
customers; excluded are rebuilt cars and cars for export.
New orders represent net new orders, i.e., adjusted for cancellations;
end-of-period backlog figures are not similarly adjusted.
Monthly data for 1967-72 are in earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS. Data through 1968 as shown in the 1969 and prior
editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS also cover freight cars for export
by equipment manufacturers; see reference note of the 1969 edition.

Sources: Association of American Railroads (beginning 1971 for
all series and all data for cars undergoing repair) and Interstate Commerce Commission (for data through 1970 except cars held for repair).
The data cover class I roads which account for about 95 percent of
the total U.S. mileage operated by all line-haul railroads. Effective December 1955, December 1965, and January 1, 1976, the data reflect
changes in the definition of class I roads. Beginning 1976, class I
railroads are those having average annual operating revenues of $10
million or more (from 1965 to 1976, $5 million or more; from 1955
to 1965, $3 million or more; for earlier periods, $1 million or more).
The Association's end-of-month figures for revenue freight cars are
as reported to their Car Service Division by class I roads and railroad
owned and controlled private refrigerator car lines. As shown in this
volume, data exclude cars on private lines and railroad owned and controlled private refrigerator cars. (Estimated total ownership and car
capacity, including estimates for the omitted .types, as well as for class
II roads and for switching and terminal companies, are shown monthly
in the Association's weekly Car Service Statement, CS-54A, "Revenue
Freight Loaded by Commodities and Total Received from Connections.") The original monthly condition report, Car Service-60A, gives
the ownership of cars and cars undergoing or awaiting heavy and light
repairs, by districts, by individual roads, and by type of car.
The ICC annual data refer to the total number of freight-carrying
cars and average car-carrying capacity available for service at close of
year; the agpegate capacity measures total carrying capacity at end of
year for units owned and used plus cars leased from others. According
to the ICC, the data over the period shown are not strictly comparable
because of changes in accounting and reporting.
Yearend figures for years prior to 1947 and monthly data for 192972 (except car capacity, 1963-72) are in earlier editions of BUSINESS
STATISTICS (see reference note, p. 1 of this section). Monthly data for
capacity prior to 1963 appear in the Car Service 54A report noted
above (1961-62) and in the discontinued monthly report Car Service
15A, Revenue Freight Car Ownership (prior to 1961). Minor revisions
have been made in some of the figures appearing in BUSINESS STATISTICS prior to the 1947 issue.
