November 1940 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

The Business SituationIN THE past month the record of business was

still one of continued expansion. Informationrecently available indicates an acceleration in the tempoof the upswing during September and October. Indus-trial production passed the previous record high of lastDecember with an unusually sharp advance in neworders pushing backlogs to a point which assuresfurther manufacturing expansion through the wintermonths, after allowing for the usual seasonal changes.

The rise in income payments has been quickenedby the substantial increase in employment, and thisenhanced buying power is being reflected in a largevolume of consumer purchasing. Activity in the con-struction industry is at a peak for the decade, indicativeof the firm basis of the current upswing. Electric-power output has reached a new record, and freighttraffic, though under a year ago, is moving in good vol-ume. All these signs of advancing economic activitypoint to the fact that the stimulating effect of the de-fense program is penetrating to all areas of economic life.

Year's Peak in New Orders.

The increased pace of the business upswing is signal- }ized by the substantial gain in new orders received bymanufacturers in recent months. A sharply advancedflowr of new business in September raised the Depart-ment of Commerce new-orders index by 26 percent overthe August figure. Primarily reflecting a general moveto lengthen commitments, although also swelled by theincreasing tide of government orders, the Septembervolume of new business equaled the peak of the buyingwave of last fall made in September 1939.

Every major industry participated in the increasedflow of new business in September. The durable-goodscomponent again set the pace with a 30-percent gain,the index rising from 163 to 212. In the recovery fromMarch through September this index has approximatelydoubled. Substantial gains were reported by firms inthe iron and steel industry, by producers of advancedsteel manufactures, copper producers, railroad-equip-ment builders, and by most branches of the machineryfield. New orders for iron and steel and their productswere far above those for any other month since October1939. In the electrical-machinery trade, incomingbusiness was at a new high for the war period—almostdouble the figure of a year ago—while in other machin-ery, the year-to-year comparison showed a gain ofabout 40 percent.

The general recognition that some firms were heavilybooked with defense business and that a near-termdelivery problem might arise also brought a substantialincrease in new orders for nondurable goods. Incomingbusiness in the nondurable-goods industries had ad-

vanced only moderately during the year to date, theindex rising from 105 in April to 108 in August. A gainof over 20 percent in September, however, carried theindex above 130. The largest gains in nondurables inthe month were reported in paper, chemical, and, aboveall, textile industries.

The advance in manufacturing operations against theheavy backlogs which have been accumulated in recentmonths led to an abrupt rise of shipments in Septem-ber, the index of total shipments rising from 124 to 144.The magnitude of this increase is partly attributable tothe seasonal pick-up in the automobile industry; but,even excluding automobiles, deliveries in the monthwere 12 percent higher than in August. The gain wasabout equally distributed between the durable andnondurable goods industries. Shipments of durable-goods in September exceeded the peak volumes of thefall of 1939 for the first time this year, and the non-durable-goods industries equaled the high point reachedlast September.

Despite this substantial rise in shipments, the flowof new orders in September was sufficient to bring afurther and marked increase in unfilled-order backlogs.Continuous increases in the backlogs of durable-goodsindustries from May through August had raised unfilledorders by one-third. At the end of August, unfilledorders were more than four-fifths above the pre-warvolume. A further gain of almost 20 percent wasreported for September. This increase was somewhatinflated by a record volume of copper buying; nonethe-less, the iron and steel, machinery, and railroad-equip-ment industries all reported increases in unfilled ordersof about 15 percent.

Inventories Increase Moderately.

An increase in new orders of September's magnitudemust obviously derive from a widespread attempt tocover future requirements for a longer period, as isindicated in a recent report of the National Associationof Purchasing Agents. The data as of the end ofSeptember, however, do not show any significantincrease in inventories. Manufacturers' stocks roseby little more than 1 percent in the month, and thebulk of that increase may be accounted for by a sea-sonal expansion in the automobile industry. A moder-ate rise in the durable-goods industries was in largopart offset by a decrease in the nondurable field,While larger inventories were shown for all durable-goods industries except nonferrous metals, the increasein no case appeared to be greater than that requiredby current expansion of manufacturing operations.

Moreover, available data do not reveal appreciableinventory accumulation at the higher stages of the

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS November 1940

distributive process. The Department of Commercereport on wholesalers' inventories shows only a frac-tional change from August to September, with theSeptember volume only 2 percent higher than that ofApril. In the retail field, the adjusted index of depart-ment-store stocks rose but 1 point in September, andin that month stood above the April figure by the sameamount.

Thus, while orders have been placed in sufficientvolume to yield an inventory increase, such a move-ment is not as yet under way. Moreover, because ofnear-capacity operations in many industries, it is notapparent that output can be increased over currentlevels to an extent sufficient to produce a sizable risein inventories. There is still considerable unusedcapacity, particularly in consumers' goods, but thegreatest pressure of demand for longer coverage aheadis not being felt in those branches of industry. There-fore, such inventory accumulation as may eventuate,provided it is not induced by or does not itself inducea rise in prices, should give little cause for concern, inview of the enlarged demand which will be forthcomingwhen the defense program is in full swing.

Further Production Rise,

Heavy orders and mounting backlogs have stimu-lated a renewed advance of industrial production duringthe post 2 months . After a sharp spring ri<o v\hiehlifted the Reserve Board's index from 111 in April to121 in June, aggregate output hold steady throughAugust wlih allowance for seasonal factors. But Sep-tember witnessed a marked increase as (he index roselo J25, and with a further rise already evident forOctober it appears tha t industrial production movedinio new high ground, surpassing the previous high ofI2t> for December J93D. hi September, the durable-goods com]) ment had alrendy exceeded 'me Decemberpeak.

Copper and zi :o shipineiif^ inOctober continued high, though umK-r September vol-umes. Brass and bronze manufacturing in September,st imulated by growing exports, expanded rapidly andcontinued in uood volume in the following month.

Automobile assemblies were accelerated to more than22,000 units daily in October in the industry's quickestchange-over to a new model. Weekly production atthe end of the month passed 117,000, up from 96,000at the end of September. With the return of theautomobile industry to full-scale operations, the outputof durable manufactures in October was, by a substan-tial margin, at the best rate in the period of 22 yearscovered by the Federal Reserve index.

Under the stimuli of the defense program and Britishdemand, activity in the machinery manufacturingindustries was quickened in September. A furthergain was indicated for October, though capacitylimitations in important branches of the industry andnormal seasonal increases will tend to damp any more-than-seasonal development in the immediate future.In September, lumber footage was increased 7 percent,and the expansion was carried forward in October.Production of stone, clay, and glass products, as wellas structural steel and other building metals, alsoincreased in the last 2 months.

The October gains were not limited to the durable-goods industries. The improvement in textiles in themonth was no less marked. The textile situation is dis-cussed in more detail below. Manufactured foodstuffsreversed the downward trend of September. Paper andpaperboard production turned upward in October butremain substantially below volumes of last October.During the fall months the shoe industry showedevidence of recovery from its spring and summerslum]).

Only two major industries ran counter to the generaltrend- bituminous coal, off conspicuously, and crudepetroleum, moderately lower in the month. Bitumi-nous-coal production did not dip to the usual degreethis summer. In anticipation of the adoption of mini-mum price schedules, originally set for September 3and finally adopted October 1, coal inventories wereaccumulated. The downward movement in crude-petroleum production was less pronounced; output inthis industry has moved erratically during the pastyear.

Electric-power consumption in October affords anover-all indicator of the persistent upward movementduring the period. New all-time power records wereestablished in the final weeks of the month as outputpassed the 2.7 million kilowatt-hour mark.

One- apparent exception to the general business per-formance of the month was a level of carloadingslower than those of a year ago. Carloadings for theweek ended October 26 were 838,000, which comparedwith 856,000 for the peak week in October 1939. Thisdifference was almost entirely the result of a declinein coal shipments stemming from the lower coal pro-duction reported above. Other carloadings were higherthan those of a year ago. The miscellaneous classifica-tion, which gives the best indication of the rail move-

merit of manufactured products, has consistentlyexceeded the 1939 volume. The volume of miscellane-ous freight has been advancing steadily over the pastseveral months in conjunction with the rise of generalbusiness activity.

Construction Activity Maintained.

Construction activity in September and October con-tinued al the high rate of the previous - m o n t h sContracts reported for the Hrst half of October woresomewhat loss than in the same period the pivviousmonth, but the announcement of laru'e defense awards,coupled with an increased volume of private contract.-in the middle of the month, was expected to briim thetotal up.

Kising ))roduction and eniploynient carried incomepayments to the highest mark of the decade duringSeptember, and it is apparent that the rising trendcontinued through October. September income1 pav-nienfs totaled So, -140,000,000. ns oompaivd with$r>,7S7,OOO,OOO in August and $0,02.">,000,000 in Sep-tember of last year. This is the largest percentagechange4 over t\\c corresponding month a year ago yvt;recorded this year. Tho advance was shared bv allincome groups. Income from salaries and wairos.which constitutes approximately two-thirds of totalincome, reached -SI,01 1,000,000, an increase of 1 percentin tho month, on a seasonally adjusted 'oasis, and 7percent greater than that of September 1030.

The rise in income payments since April resultedin an aggregate of $5:1.902,000,000 for the first 9 monthsof the, year, 5.7 percent more than for the same periodlast year. Virtually every industry contributed to therise. Salaries and wages in commodity-producingindustries advanced 11 percent from April to September

after seasonal adjustments, while pay rolls in the dis-tributive and service industries increased 4 percentover the same interval. Government pay rolls re-mained unchanged over the same months, a moderaterise in nonrelief employment being offset by a drop inwork-relief wages.

Farm income again turned upward in September after| declining in the late summer months. The index of. cash income from farm marketings rose )> points inI September to roach a level of 74 (1924-20 = 100), only• slightly in excess of that in the corresponding month ai year ago. Some of the monthly gain was attributed to; unsea-onal shifts in the, volume of marketing duo to• lateness in the harvesting of certain crops. flowo\er,; it is noteworthy that farm prices continued their mod-

The adjusted index of factory employmentadvanced from 00.2 in April to 10,'J.f) in August and to104.8 in September1.

6 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS November 1940

Pay rolls also rose in September with a gain exceedingthe usual seasonal increase fivefold, September payrolls in nondurable-goods industries topped those of lastyear by almost 5 percent, in spite of a very small declinein the number employed. Durable-goods industries, ofcourse, registered much larger advances. The highoperating level of many industries has lengthened theaverage work week and increased the payment of over-time wages, both of which have expanded pay rolls.

Some indication of the direct effect of increasedmilitary expenditures here and abroad on employmentin our primary defense industries is shown by thefolio win £ table:

ended in September. At the same time, employmentin industries which are engaged primarily in supplyingcivilian needs but also furnish, semifinished products fordefense industries, such as steel and chemicals, rose268,000. The rate of expansion in these primary andsecondary defense industries has been greater than thatin industries devoted solely to the satisfaction of civilianneeds. Nevertheless, the magnitude of the indirecteffect of defense spending is partly demonstrated by theincreased employment of 507,000 in manufacturingindustries which produce largely for civilians.

Active Consumer Purchasing.

Consumer buying continues at the high volumewhich might be expected to result from near-record

employment, though probably a little under the Augustlevel. Dollar sales of department stores since Augusthave averaged higher, on a seasonally adjusted basis,than at any time since the first half of 1931. In termsof physical volume, trade at this time presents an evenmore favorable comparison with earlier peaks. Thepronounced upward impetus which lifted the depart-ment-store index to 99 in August and September,moderated somewhat in October, But the state ofdepartment-store trade in the past 3 months is indi-cated by the more-than-seasonal gain of nearly 7percent from June and July of this year, and the im-provement over August-October 1939 of about 8percent.

In common with other retail divisions, rural sales ofgeneral-merchandise and variety-store sales expanded inSeptember, but measured against the usual seasonalpatterns for these series, both indexes lost ground.The rural index receded from 146.0 in August to 127.8in September, since the actual increase of about 13percent failed to equal seasonal expectations. Thevariety-store index for September, seasonally adjusted,was 108.1-—down one point from August to reflect aless-than-seasonal gain of more than 8 percent in actualsales.

Retail sales of new passenger automobiles werenecessarily low in August and September as the auto-mobile industry shifted assembly lines to the newmodels; but October brought a sharp recovery. Anestimated 225,000 cars and trucks were sold in the first20 days of October, against 194,000 in the entire monthof September. New passenger-automobile sales in 9months through September were 528,000 units aheadof 1939, and the new models have met with activebuying which promises to lift total sales for the yearwell above the 2,724,000 of 1939 and close to the3,496,000 of 1936.Moderate Price Rise.

October witnessed a continuation of the gradualupward movement in commodity prices which has beenunder way since the middle of August. From 105,5 inthe middle of August, the index of 28 basic commoditieshad risen to 113.6 by the end of October, 37 percent ofthe gain taking place during the latter month. Thisincrease carried the index more than a third of the waytoward last fall's peak of 127.2. Both import anddomestic commodities participated in the October rise.Most metal prices have risen since August. Steel scrap,copper, and zinc all moved upward in September, buthave shown little change in October. Lead and tin,on the contrary, increased during the latter month, therise in tin still being small.

The price advance among sensitive commodities hascontinued to make only a small impression on the morecomprehensive indexes, either directly or through theireffect upon finished goods. The Bureau of LaborStatistics wholesale price index of 863 commodities


duplicated its half-point increase in September andclosed the month at 78.6 (1926 = 100). Thoughindexes of finished industrial prices, cost of living, andretail prices all have shown moderate increases, theydemonstrate that there has not been an importantgeneral price movement during the current upswing.Exports Lower in September.

Exports of United States merchandise in Septemberdecreased to $288,000,000, a decline of $54,000,000 inthe month.. Trade with the United Kingdom alonewas off $23,000,000, of which more than half is attribut-able to smaller aircraft shipments. Inasmuch as spe-cial factors may explain shifts of considerable magni-tude from month to month, not too much significancecan be attached to such short-period changes. A largepart of the September decline was concentrated in thosecommodities which have increased sharply during thewar period.

While a number of influences are at work tendingto retard exports of certain commodities and exportsfor cor tain countries—embargoes, our own defenseneeds, and the difficulties in the way of rapidly in-creasing production—the basic factors point to ex-pansion rather than contraction in our foreign tradeso long as the requirements of British Empire coun-tries for war materials are immense. Hence it isapparent that a significant part of the September de-cline results from lack of supply or irregularities indeliveries, rather than lack of demand.

Xo less striking than the aggregate decline in exportswas the fall in general imports from $220,000,000 inAugust to $195,000,000 in September, continuing amovement initiated the previous month. Receiptsfrom Europe fell to less than $16,000,000, the lowestpoint since the beginning of the war. Imports fromthe United Kingdom, Japan, China, Turkey, and theLatin American countries were all lower. It is ofinterest that the major items imported in larger volumein September were five strategic and critical materials.Rubber imports reached the highest figure of record,at 176,000,000 pounds valued at over $30,000,000,rellecting increases both in governmental and privatestocks. Imports of tin were the highest on record,exceeding 32.000,000 pounds, part of which flowed intothe governmental stock pile. Copper, nickel andalloys, and wool were the other major commodities toshow an increase in the month. On the other hand,imports of the 24 other strategic and critical materialswere off in September.Financial Developments.

Stocks fluctuated within a narrower range duringOctober than in September, although they were moreheavily traded. Following the decline in the forepartof October, quotations worked gradually higher anddisplayed notable strength in the final sessions of themonth. The Dow-Jones averages of industrial, rail-

road, and utility stocks, however, closed the monthstill somewhat below rally peaks recorded during Sep-tember and early October, although the combinedDow-Jones average, fractionally above that in earlyOctober, was the highest since May.

Developments in financial markets during recentmonths have continued to involve larger additions tothe supply of bank credit than increases in the demandfor such credit, although the difference between thegrowth of supply and demand is smaller than it wasduring the first half of the year. Gold imports stillhave been the major source of added bank credit, thenet inflow for the year to October 23 reaching the recordhigh of $3,600,000,000. However, since May, gold im-ports have been partially offset by increases in Treasury(and foreign bank) deposits with the Federal Reservebanks, an increase in the volume of money in circula-tion, and a decline in the volume of Government securi-ties held by these banks. As a result, additions of$2,124,000,000 to the monetary gold stock from foreignsources during this period brought about an increase ofonly $933,000,000 in member-bank reserve balanceswith the Federal Reserve banks. Further expansion ofloans and investments resulted in only $580,000,000 ofthis being added to excess reserves. Member-bankreserve balances are now at the record level of $14,-148,000,000, of which $6,940,000,000 constitutes excessreserves.

During the first 9 months of the war, sales of foreigngold to the Treasury appear to have been relatedchiefly to current demands for dollar exchange, andconsequently foreign official balances in this countryevidenced no marked change. Additions to the mone-tary gold stock of $2,464,000,000 of foreign gold inthis period found their counterpart in increases of$2,319,000,000 in member-bank balances, and of$75,000,000 in foreign balances, with the FederalReserve banks. In recent months, however, substan-tial amounts of the proceeds from sales of gold haveremained in foreign-deposit accounts with the FederalReserve banks and have served to increase the totalvolume of such deposits to the record level of over abillion dollars in October, as compared with about$450/300,000 at the beginning of June. To the extentthat funds have accumulated in accounts with theFederal Reserve banks they represent the proceeds ofgold sales to the Treasury which have not been paid outinto the market and thus have not served to increase thevolume of member-bank reserves. Much of the remain-ing gold import has gone under earmark, $613,000,000having been added since the beginning of the year tobring the total on November 1 to $1,776,000,000.

Since June the Federal Reserve banks have de-creased their holdings of obligations of the FederalGovernment by approximately $ 133,000,000, eitherthrough sales or by allowing their holdings of Govern-ment bonds, notes, and bills to mature without making


replacements. Other factors operating to retard thegrowth of excess reserves have been the increase ofTreasury deposits with the Federal Reserve banks, andthe rising volume of currency in circulation. Thedemand for the latter has been stimulated by increasingbusiness activity and the concurrent rise in pay rollsand retail trade, as well as by net exports of currency.Between October 1939 and October 1940, currency incirculation increased about $900,000,000, standing atthe new high level of $8,226,000,000 in the latter month.

The inflow of gold has been reflected in the weeklygrowth of demand deposits reported by the memberbanks, and, in the absence of a sizable expansion ofloans, the growing volume of idle bank funds has beenpartially utilized by the reporting member bank's toexpand their investment portfolios.

The business demand for bank credit showed onlyminor and irregular fluctuations during the first 8months this year. The industrial decline from De-cember to April and subsequent expansion throughAugust appeared to exert comparatively little influenceupon thevolume of outstanding bonk loans. Since thebeginning of September, however, the demand forbusiness loans has been more active, as indicated by anincrease of $283,000,000 in the commercial, industrial,and agricultural loans of weekly reporting FederalReserve member banks during the S weeks endedOctober 23. The total was 84,740,000,000 on this date.compared with $4,202,000,000 a year before and$4,416,000,000 in the highest week last December,when industrial production reached its 1939 peak.

in October improved business sentiment, high pricesfor outstanding bonds, and the low level of now financ-ing of preceding months contributed to increase the sizeand frequency with which new bond issues were offeredto the public. Although the financing was con lined,primarily to refunding outstanding issues of public-utility companies, a large portion of the financing wasto meet the requirements of States and municipalitiesfor new funds.

Textile Survey.Wool.-—Recovering from a let-up earlier in the year,

mill consumption of apparel wool has increased mark-edly in recent months. In the first 0 months of 1940,consumption amounted to only .121,109,000 pounds,scoured basis, compared with. 133.083,000 in the corre-sponding period of 1939. In July of this year, however,the Reserve Board's adjusted index of apparel-woolconsumption reached 113 (1935-39-----100), having ad-vanced from 88 in June. Although the index droppedto 108 in August, it jumped again in September to anew high for the year of 137. The decline in Augustprobably resulted from the fact that the timing ofrecent government orders has not conformed to theusual seasonal pattern of the industry.

Between July 1 and September 14, Army awardstotaling 19,854,000 yards of cloth and 2,146,250 blankets

were made. On October 9, bids on 2,200,000 blan-kets were opened, while on October 10 proposalscovering 17/750,000 yards of cloth were issued. Whencontract awards covering these requirements havebeen made, Army purchases of wool fabrics since July1 will total 37,600,000 yards of cloth and 4,346,000blankets. The importance of Army buying in suchvolume is evidenced by the fact that for a group offirms covering half (or more) of the total productionof the industry, Government orders awarded betweenmid-June and mid-September amounted to 49 percentof the new business in men's-wear fabrics. Unfilledorders for men's wear at the end of September amountedto 312,000,000 yards (about 17 weeks' production at therate averaged during September), of which 1.2,800,000yards, or 40 percent, consisted of Government business.At the end of September 1939, Government businessrepresented only 2 percent of men's-wear orders onhand. It is noteworthy, moreover, that the abovecomparisons for 1940 do not allow for the large volumeof Government business involved in October proposalsand awards. It is certain that Government clothorders now on. hand will influence the level of activitywell into the first half of next vear.

Variation, 1936-40 (Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ).

Wool imports and prices are beginning to reflect theoutlook for domestic consumption during the next fewmonths and the related factor of supplies. As of Sep-tember 1, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics esti-mated total wool supplies in the United States (includ-ing 1940 wool then unshorn) at 450,000,000 pounds,grease basis, a larger amount than that on hand a yearearlier, but not likely to be adequate to meet the de-mands of continued high domestic consumption,Imports of raw wool for consumption rose from10,099,204 pounds in August to 21,830,654 pounds inSeptember, and further increases are likely to occur;following the heavy buying wave in late 1939, woolimports for consumption reached 45,082,000 pounds inJanuary of this year, and mill consumption alreadyexceeds the peaks of a year ago.

Raw-wool prices have strengthened steadily sinceearly September. Wool tops at New York advancedfrom $1.03 per pound, spot, in the first week of Septem-ber to $1.29 on October 25. Territory fine at Boston

advanced from 8/ cents in early September to $1.0S on()ctol)er 2o, and this price held for the rest of themonth. The. projected storage1 in this country of250,000,000 pounds of British Empire wool is expectedto have little effect on the domestic trend of raw-woolprices, since this wool would have about the same in-fluence in the market whether it were stored here or inAustralia and Xew Zealand. It should, however, dis-pel any fear of shortage arising from shipping difficulties.

Daily average consumption of 31,1X3bales in September exceeded that of August by f> per-cent, but as this did not equal the normal seasonal in-crease, the Reserve Board's adjusted index of cottonconsumption fell 4 points to 120 (1935-3l)~~-100) inSeptember. The September figure nonetheless repre-sents a considerable rise from 107 in April. Averagemonthly consumption for the first 9 months of 1940 was640,821 bales, higher than that of the correspondingperiod for any other year except 1937, Consumptionfor the year as a whole will probably set a new record,for mills now have comfortable backlogs and operationsare being advanced; whereas in. 1937, the record year todate, output declined in the latter half of the year, withconsumption averaging only 479,831 bales a month inthe final quarter. Consumption in the final quarter ofthis year need average* only 550,202 for the vear's con-sumption to equal that of 1937; average consumption inthe final quarter is likely to < XC(»(MI materially the figureindicated. The Bureau of Agricultural Economicspoints out that cotton consumption by domestic millsin the crop year 1940 41 may well exceed the total ofnearly 8,000,000 bales recorded in the crop year I93(j 37.

So fur as recent cotton prices are concerned, the highlevel of domestic mill activity has been offset by therecord low level of cotton exports and the revision up-ward of the estimate of the 1940 crop. The 10-market average spot price dropped steadily from 10.73cents a pound on June 29 lo 9.07 cents on October 1 1.and only slight lirming tendencies were in evidence inthe la Her half of the month.

Index of Chain Drug Store Sales*

THE index of aggregate sales of chain drug storespresented in the accompanying table and chart

is based on data supplied by a large and representa-tive sample of firms operating in this field.1 The indexis one of the retail-trade series which the Bureau plansto include in a comprehensive monthly index of totalretail trade now in preparation.

The series covering chain drug store sales is presentedwith and without seasonal adjustment for each monthsince July 1934, the first month for which these dataare available.

The most striking characteristic of the series (seeFig. 6, page 11) is its relative stability as comparedwith most other lines of retail business. It is also in-teresting to note that the low and high points in theadjusted index are at the beginning and near the endof the chart. The range is from 91.0 in July 1934 to107.6 in August of this year.

The upward trend in this index is, of course, primarilyindicative of the recovery of business from the depres-sion low of 1932. It is also, however, a reflection ofgrowth of the drug store in the retail field.

It is well known that drug stores, notably chain or-ganizations, have steadily expanded the range andvariety of commodities handled and that the relativesale of many of these lias mounted in recent years. Inparticular, there has been a considerable expansion inliquor sales during the period covered by the index inthose States where such sales are legally permitted.The results now available from the 1940 Census ofRetail Business confirm this trend. The retail drugtrade is shown as having made striking advances inboth number of stores and volume of sales.

The wide range of items carried by drug stores ap-parently have offsetting seasonal characteristics sincethe range of seasonal variation is relatively small.Except for December, when the Christmas seasonbrings about a considerable increase in sales, the sea-sonal variation ranges from $}i percent below the aver-age in February to V/2 percent above in October. Forexample, the sale of cold remedies and similar productsare at their peak when other items such as ice creamand cold fountain drinks are at their seasonal low. Itis also to be noted that the cyclical variation in thistrade is unusually small; from the peak in 1937 to thetrough in 1938 the adjusted index declined only 10percent as compared with an estimated decline of 16percent in total retail trade.Source of Data Used in Index.

Commerce since July 1935.2 This series is one of agroup designed to indicate changes in consumer expend-itures and also to provide store operators with astandard of comparison for their own operating figures.The sample data showing monthly percent changes in.sales now cover a sufficient period of time to warrantthe construction of an index series and adjustment ofthe data for seasonal variation.

AY hen this series was begun two alternative methodsof sampling were available. The first was to secure anidentical group of reporting firms. The second was tosecure a larger and more representative sample foreach month's release —but one which would not beidentical from month to month. The latter methodwas decided upon and the subsequent results havebeen presented in the form of monthly reports showingthe percentage relationship of a given month with theprevious month and with the same month of theprevious year.

Under this method of sampling the number ofreporting companies and the number of stores operatedhave differed in each monthly comparative statementnot only because certain companies fail to report insome months, but also because of more or less con-tinuous sample improvement by extending the numberof firms. Hence, the dollar values were not comparablefrom month to month except as reduced to a commonbase such as average sales per company or averagesales per store. This procedure was found to beunsatisfactory for this series of data. Hence, relativecomparisons were derived for this index by linking thepercentage change data which are available from thechanging sample of reporting firms.

Method of Computing Index.

First, some recent month is arbitrarily set as ion toprovide a base point for establishing the relationships.The corresponding month of the preceding year is thenexpressed as a relative of the base using the year-agochange shown in the report for the base month. Each,successive, month preceding the selected base month isexpressed as a chain relative of the base month usingthe month-ago percentage shown in each publishedreport. The chain drug store sales data were so relatedby using May 1940 as the base month. The relativefor the thirteenth month in the chain coincided exactlv

with the year-ago relative of the base month. Gen-erally such coincidence is not obtained b}^ this process.3

From this point each earlier month in turn is com-puted from the year-ago percentage change shown inthe report a year later, and also from the month-agopercentage change shown in the release a month later.Where the two relatives so obtained do not coincidesome adjustment must be made. This adjustmentmay be a simple average of the two relatives or ii n\u\be a figure weighted in accordance with specific knowl-edge concerning the sample, tho observable link withthe next MHTeodinsr month, the relationship with the |stum* month a yea?' later, and Mmiiar consideration-.

fairly definite evidence thai their importance in relationto the year's business was changing. This was espe-cially true of August and December which appeared tobe respectively decreasing and increasing in importance.Hence, slight adjustments were made to account forthis shifting importance of seasonal levels. The factorsused for 1939, the latest complete calendar yearcovered, are as follows: January, 95.8; February, 93.5;March, 99.5; April. 96.7; May, 97.2; June, 94.5; July,96.3; August, 90.0; September, 96.0; October, 101.5;November, 9<S.9; December, 135.1.

* Compiled by the U, S. Treasury Department. Data are on a current cash basis (unrevised Daily Statement of the XJ. S. Treasury). Net receipts beginning July 1, 1940.represent total receipts less net appropriations to the Federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund (social security-employment taxes less reimbursements to the generalfund of the Treasury for administrative expenses), which under the 1939 amendments to the Social Security Act are appropriated directly to the Federal old-age and survivorsinsurance trust fund. To make data for the period prior to July 1,1940, approximately comparable with the classification effective on that date, transfers to the old-age reserveaccount (for the fiscal year 1940 transfers to the account less administrative expenses), formerly shown under expenditures, have been deducted from total receipts (to obtain thenew series "net receipts"), total expenditures, and transfers to trust accounts. There were no transfers to this account prior to January 1937. The series on income tax receiptshas been revised to include unjust enrichment taxes, first collected in September 1936. This series as shown here and in the 1940 Supplement includes excess profits taxes.The descriptive note in the Supplement erroneously states that such taxes were excluded. For data for 1940, see p. 33.

1 New series. Data are compiled by the National Electrical Manufacturers* Association from reports furnished voluntarily by its members. This series replaces the datafor dollar sales of electric ranges formerly shown. Data cover sales of household electric ranges of over iy± kilowatt capacity in the continental United States, Hawaii, andAlaska. The number of firms reporting has increased gradually from 7 in 1931 to 11 in 1934 and 1935 and to 18 and 19 from Ju ly 1939 to date. No estimates of the coverageof the industry are available prior to 1935; in tha t year the association estimates tha t their coverage was about 60 percent. For the years 1936 to 1939,inclusive, the associationbelieves their coverage to have been between 90 and 94 percent.


Monthly Business StatisticsThe data here are a continuation of the statistical series published in the 1940 Supplement to the SURVEY OP

CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume contains monthly data for the years 1936 to 1939, inclusive, and monthly aver-ages for earlier years back to 1913 insofar as available; it also provides a description of each series and referencesto sources of monthly figures prior to 1936. The 1940 Supplement may be secured from the Superintendent ofDocuments, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C , for 40 cents per copy.

A few series have been added or revised since the 1940 Supplement went to press. These are indicated byan asterisk (*) for the new series and by a dagger (f) for the revised series. A brief footnote accompanying eachof these series provides a reference to the source where historical data and the descriptive note may be found.

The terms "unadjusted" and "adjusted" used to designate index numbers refer to the adjustment for seasonalvariations. Data subsequent to September will be found in the Weekly Supplement to the SURVEY.

Monthly statistics through December 1939, to-gether with explanatory notes and referencesto the sources of the data, may be found in the1940 Supplement to the Survey

the series.^Combined figures for projects operated by W. P. A. and other Federal agencies: data not reported separately since February 1940.tRevised series. A constant, $1,052,450, has been added to all data on emergency crop loans to include 1918-1919 farmers' seed leans, and totals adjusted accordingly.""New series. Data beginning 1933 will be published in a subsequent issue. Other special types of public assistance, included in the total but not shown separately,

are aid to dependent children and aid to the blind.

f Revised. d Deficit. v Preliminar?/. l Data temporarily discontinued by reporting source.KData for August and December 1939, March, June, and August, 1940 are for 5 weeks; other months, 4 weeks.*New series. Adjusted data on financial operations of railways beginning 1921 appear in table 33, p. 16, of the September 1940 issue. The new series on taxes and joint

facility and equipment rents is shown to provide figures for obtaining total railway expenses as given in the adjusted figures of financial operations; earlier data may be obtainedby deducting operating expenses and net railway operating income from operating revenues.

fRevised to exclude data for radiotelegraph carriers; for revised data beginning 1934, see table 48, p. 16 of this issue.
