INTRODUCTION. Date of issue.-Beginning with this issue of the SURVEY the date appearing on the cover will refer to the date of issue and not to the date of the statistics contained therein. This change is made as the result of numerous suggestions reaching the department. The present issue is dated March, 1922, and contains statistics of industrial and commercial movements which took place in the month of January or up to February 1, 1922. No number will be issued bearing a date line of February, 1922. Advance Sheets.-ln order to facilitate the earlier distribution of the SURVEY, the department has
arranged to distribute mimeographed advance sheets twice a month. One set will be issued immediately after the 20th of the month giving the data on such items as have been received up to that time. Another set of sheets will be mailed at the end of the month giving the figures which have been received between the 20th and the end of the month. These sheets will be mailed free of charge to all subscribers to the SURVEY who request them. Such requests should be addressed to the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, Washington, D. C.

BUSINESS INDICATORS. The following table gives comparative index numbers for a selected list of important business movements. It is believed that thie table will prove useful, because it separates out from the large mass of material a comparatively small number of items which are often regarded as indicative of business in general. The table has been divided into two parts, the first containing those items for which index numbers can be calculated using 1913 as a base. The second part contains items for which comparable data back to 1913 are not available. This latter group of index numbers is calculated by letting the 1919 monthly average equal 100. Care should therefore be exercised in comparing the absolute value of the two sets of data. In either group, however, the upward or downward tren4 of the index numbers, compared to previous months, does reflect the present tendency in each item and will give a basis for business judgment. 1921

SUMMARY FOR JANUARY. Slow but steady improvement in business conditions is indicated by the January figures. Production has in general increased, stocks have been reduced , and prices have become more stabilized. Although the general price level continued to decline, farm prices have advanced, thus putting increased purchasing power in the hands of the producers, whose small earnings last year depressed business prospects in the agricultural sections. Increased business from the rural districts is already seen in the reports of mail-order houses and other distributers. Increased employment and a decline in immigration evidence a more healthy condition for labor and the transportation statistics indicate improved conditions for the railroads. PRODUCTION.

Production during January, in general, showed an increase over December. Out of 43 commodities for which Jariuary figures are now available there were 25 increases, 15 decreases, and 3 unchanged. Three of the largest relative decreases-cottonseed oil, face brick, and cement-were largely seasonal.

Building equipment increased but buildings declined. Under transportation vehicles locomotive production declined, but the output of automobiles and trucks increased over December. In most cases the January production was the highest since last October, and in a number of cases, mostly metals, much higher than in any recent month, with petroleum making a new high record. In 26 commodities the January production surpassed the 1921 average, in two it remained the same, and in 15 it was less.

Metals continued considerably below the prewar average, as did cigars, manufactured tobacco, locomotives, and beehive coke, with coal and wheat flour only slightly below 1913. On the other hand, automobiles, clothing materials and building materials were considerably higher than the 1913 average production. By-product coke, oleomargarine, cement, and petroleum were also in this category.

8 STOCKS.
Declines occurred in the stocks of goods on hand in most commodities during January. There were only 11 increases as against 17 decreases from the previous month. In the foodstuffs, whose movement is largely seasonal, there were 3 increases and 9 decreases. All four paper commodities increased, while in the other commodities there were 4 increases and 8 deereases. Compared with a year ago, January stocks showed increases in only 9 cases, 18 declines and 1 without change. In the food group there were 4 increases as , against 8 decreases, while in the other commodities only 5 increases were reported (2 of these in enamel ware) as against 10 decreases. STOCKS OF COMMODITIES COMPARED WITH PREWAR.
with a yearly average, 11 commodities showed larger stocks at the end of January than the 1919 average, while for 4 commodities the stocks were slightly smaller. The greatest increases were in oak flooring, crude petrolem:n, zinc, and face brick-from 73 to 90 per cent increases. Stocks of commodities that can be compared with 1913 showed large increases over the prewar average, except for two commodities-coffee and tin-which are not produced in the United States.

PRICES.
The prices received by farmers for erops and live stock increased in January from their previous low level. The crop price index reached the 1913 level. The wholesale price index of the Department of Labor dropped one point in January and showed a greater tendency toward stabilization. House furnishings, which stood at more than double the 1913 level, declined four points, while the only increase occurred in farm products, which showed the smallest gain over 1913. The Federal Reserve Board's grouping of this index shows that this increase was largely in animal products, and on this account the raw material index rose slightly. The Federal Reserve Board's index for irternational price comparisons showed no change, but
9 both imported goods and exported goods declined. Dun's index for February 1 showed no change, but Bradstreet's index increased slightly. The retail price of food declined over 5 per cent in January. The quarterly figures of the Department of Labor on the cost of living showed a decline of three points from September to December. Clothing and furniture made the chief declines, while housing costs alone increased. The National Industrial Conference Board's index for January showed a decline of three points, due to the drop in food prices. Slight declines also occurred in fuel and light and sundries, while shelter and clothing remained unchanged. Wholesale prices in Canada, Japan, France, and England continued to fall, while the inflation of the currency again caused a rise in Germany. Taking the individual prices shown in the table and chart on pages 4 and 5, the prices to the farmer increased for all commodities in January except cotton. The wholesale market price increased on eight commodities; declined on three-rye, cotton, and cattle; while two remained unchanged. Food prices showed three increases and two decreases. Prices of clothing materials showed only one increase-worsted yarns-compared with five decreases and six stationary products. There was no change in fuel prices, except a slight decline in bituminous coal. Metal prices all declined except copper and lead, which were unchanged. The building material group showed two declines to one increase and three stationary products, while rubber continued to decline. The greatest increases occurred in the farm and wholesale prices of sheep, wool, and hogs, while the greatest decrease occurred in silk.
figureslare not available, December sales also showed increases over a year ago except for leather belting, newspaper advertising, and printing, the latter decline being due to declining· prices rather than decreased activity. In this connection it may be pointed out that some of the items, marked by an asterisk (*), are relatives based on values instead of quantities and are therefore generally dependent on fluctutations in the purchasing power of the dollar, i. e., the level of prices, as well as the fluctuations of sales of physical goods. Therefore, a decline during the past year does not necessarily represent a decline in the physical amount of sales. A rough corrected figure, eliminating the price variation, might be obtained by dividing each item in such series by the wholesale or retail price index number, whichever most nearly corresponds with the class of business done. In a few items expressed in values no correction is necessary for comparison, because there has been little or no change in the price for the goods or services-for instance, postal and telephone receipts. Bond sales on the New York Stock Exchange are really not based on value, because sales of bonds are not reported in their value at the time of sale but on their par value; therefore, bond sales represent physical quantities. On the other hand, new issues of municipal bonds, unless. for refunding purposes, reflect the price level, as the work for which they are issued requires a larger bond issue when prices are high. COMPARISON OF SALES IN DIFFERENT LINES OF BUSINESS.
RELATIVE SALES (1919=100).
SALES.
In contrast to the current physical movement of commodities shown in the preceding tables on production and prices, the following table, showing relative sales or orders, gives a forecast of the future production of those industries. The separate commodities covered in this table are few and in most cases relatively unimportant, as the sales can only be reported where trade associations supply the data; but the figures may be found to be of some interest. In addition to the orders of separate commod,ities booked by manufacturers (included in the first two groups in the table) 1 the distributive movement of goods as a whole is shown through various channels, and the sales of investment or speculative securities. The figures shown in the table indicate increased sales in all lines and classes reported in January, 1922, as compared with January, 1921 1 except in sales by mail-order houses, and of stocks, life insurance, municipal bonds and magazine advertising; the mail order decrease is · apparently due to decline in prices rather than a decline in business.

Imports of wool were the largest since ~\.pril, 1921. "\ furth<'r stabilization in prices was noted in .Tnnunry. Oonsidernble inerenses occurred in the rnw wool quotations. n smnll increase took place in worsted yarn. while dress goods and suitings remnined unchn,nged. The consumption of cotton in tc.>xtile mills increased in Janunry to the leYelnttnined last ~owmber which was the highc.>st since .Tune. 1920. Stocks of cotton declined, in contrast to nn increase during Jnnun.ry, 1921.

The number of active cotton spindles was slightly less than in December, but spindle acth·ity was considerably greater and the activity per spindle in place rose to 215 hours, the highest recorded since t.he beginning of these reports last August. Exports of cotton cloth continued to decline, part of which was probably due to a change in the unit of measure from linear yards to square yards. Fabric consumption by tire manufacturers incrensed 21 per cent oYer December nnd was the lnr~est since l11st _\ ugust. The market and producers' prices of raw cotton declined slightly in January. Declines also took place in prices of yarns and sheetin~. but print cloths remained unchanged.

In spite of a considerable increase in imports of cattle hides, total imports of hides and skins showed a negligible increase in January on account of the decline in other varieties. . Stocks of almost all kinds of green salted hides decreased during December, as did sheep skins, but dry salted hides increased. Calfskin prices were slightly reduced but cattle hides remained unchanged. Production of leather declined in January. The December census figures showed declines in sole and belting production but an increase in upper leather. Stocks showed little change. Exports in January declined about 25 per cent from December. A slight reduction took place in the price of chrome calf leather, but hemlock sole remained the same. Sales of leather belting declined in December· and were also considerably below those of a year ago.

Production of passenger cars increased 15 per cent and trucks 11 per cent in January. December shipments declined. Purchases of motor accessories were over twice as large as a year ago, while accounts past due were half as great; and notes outstanding decreased 22 per cent.
Imports of potash increased slightly in January while nitrate of soda imports, which had declined to a low level in December, showed a partial recovery. Exports of dyes and dyestuffs increased by two-thirds in January and sulphuric acid and fertilizer had smaller gains.
13 'l'he price index of crude drugs increased, but essential oils, pharmaceuticals and chemicals declined. GLASS.
Glass production, both bottles and illuminating ware, declined in January. Orders for illuminating ware increased while shipments declined. BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.
January building contracts awarded in the 27 Northeastern States amounted to $166,320,000. 'l'his is a decrease of 16 per cent compared with December, 1921, but on the other hand the total has been exceeded only once in the month of January. 'l'hat was in January, 1920, when the combination of business expansion and high prices brought the amount to $226,116,000. In January, 1921, building contracts awarded amounted to only $111,608,000. Business and industrial buildings increased in January, both in floor space and value, compared with December. All other classes of building showed a slight seasonal decline. Residential building declined from 21,901,000 square feet of floor space to 18,083,000 square feet, but this is a larger amount of residential buildings than has been recorded for any previous January. 'l'he favorable development of building operations is of more than ordinary importance because it carries with it the inevitable demand for material, supplies, house furnishings, etc.
for January. Stocks of all classes of ware were reduced except baths, which increased very slightly. Sales of abrasive paper and cloth, both domestic and foreign, decreased considerably in December. 'l'he year's sales for 1921 were 38 per cent below 1920 for domestic trade and 63 per cent below for foreign trade. DIAGRAM 12.-VoLUME OF BuiLDING CoNTRACTS AwARDED, BY CLASSES.

Silica brick, on the other hand showed a good increase in production, a smaller increase in shipments, but a decline in stocks. Heavy declines took place in production and shipments of face brick, while stocks and unfilled orders declined slightly. Common brick prices were again variable. 'l'he price of cement remained the same. Greatly increased business both in orders and in shipments was reported for enamel sanitary ware

The cargo carried through the Panama Canal in December totaled 953,000 tons compared to 855,000 in NoYember, but the total for the year 1921 was It per cent smaller than in 1920. Traffic carried in British Yessels surpassed that carried in American vessels for December, and for the year 1921 it increased almost 4 per cent over 1920, while American vessels carried 17 per cent less than in 1920. Entrances and clearances of vessels in United States foreign trade each decreased about 20 per cent from December to January. The number of vessels under construction continued to decline in January, but there was an increase in the number of vessels completed.

RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION.
A distinct improvement was noted in January's freight car situation. Surplus cars were reduced 30 per cent from December and were about the same as a year ago, coal car surplus being considerably larger and box car surplus much smaller. Shortage of cars increased, due to much larger box-car requirements that could not be filled. The number of bad order cars increased, however. Car loadings increased 7!per cent over December and were larger than a year ago by the same proportion. Freight ton-mileage for December declined and for the year 1921 was 23 per cent less than for 1920. Freight revenue for December continued to decline with the decline in traffic, but passenger revenue increased. Total operating revenues declined, and operating expenses were also reduced, but to a slightly less extent., thus bringing net operating income below the 1913 monthly average .

The sales of mail-order houses declined almost 20 per cent in January, due largely to the reaction from the holiday trade; their actual sales were smaller than a year ago, but this was caused in great measure by the reduced price level. Chain-store sales showed an even greater falling off in January, because their holiday peak was relatively greater; their actual sales for January were slightly larger than a year ago. Postal receipts declined from the holiday traffic, but were slightly larger than in January, 1921. Magazine advertising almost niade up its December loss, but was still less than a year ago.

PUBLIC FINANCE.
Further slight progress was made in January in the reduction of the Uruted States interest-bearing debt, due to the continued contraction in Liberty bond issues. Customs receipts increased slightly in January. Total ordinary receipts were about 10 per cent less than a year ago and disbursements declined about 40 per cent, but exceeded receipts by some 20 per cent .

Debits to indivi..dual accounts and bank clearings declined in January, reacting from the heavy December business; this condition was equally true of New York City and the outside districts. Federal reserve notes and discounts were greatly contracted during ·January, indicating the heaviest liquidation in bank credits for many months. Total reserves and deposits of the Federal reserve banks continued their
17 increase in January. The condition of member banks of the Federal reserve system at the end of January showed similar conditions. Interest rates continued to decline, call loans averaging 4! per cent and commercial paper under 5 per cent. The crop of failures continued to increase in Jannary but the amount of liabilities was less than the high mark of December. DiVidend and interest payments were slightly larger than a year ago. New capital issues by corporations declined heavily, while the amount of new incorporations increased. December telephone business was better than a year ago and earnings greater. Prices of industrial stocks rose slightly in January but railroad stocks were a little cheaper. The volume of stock sales declined but bond sales, especially Liberty bonds, increased. Bond prices increased, with a large rise in industrials. Yields on municipal bonds rose slightly after a long decline. Imports and exports of gold declined. Silver imports increased and exceeded exports. Slight declines took place in silver prices.

BUSINESS FAILURES.
One of the concomitants of a period of business depression is an increase in business mortality. Diagram 21 shows the annual record of failures as compiled by Dun's Review for the past 32 years. The increased business mortality, both in number and in liabilities, i1l the depression periods of 1893, 1907, 1914 and 1921 is clearly evident. The year 1921 marks a new record so far as liabilities are concerned. The total indebtedness of the firms failing last year amounted to $627,401,000, while the total liabilities in 1893 were only $346,780,000 and in 1914, the previous maximum, $357,909,000. The number of firms failing last year totaled 19,652, which was a smaller number than in 1915, when the total was 22,156. To a very considerable extent the heavy liabilities involved in last year's failures were due to the high prices and the consequent increase in the amount of money necessary to do business. On~ measure of the volume of business in ternis of money value is given by bank clearings. If defaulted liabilities are expressed as the amount per $1,000 of bank clearings for the same year, it gives a better measure of the relative importance of these liabilities. Diagram 22 gives a comparison of index numbers showing the liabilities both as actually reported and in terms of bank clearings. Using 1913 equal to 100 the 1921 index of liabilities as reported is 230. This is far in excess of anything recorded before. But if these liabilities are expressed per $1,000 of bank clearings the 1921 index number on the same base is only 114. This is about the same order of magnitude as the corresponding figure for 1907 and much smaller than 91396-~

When considered in their relation to the total volume of business of the country, defaulted liabilities in 1921 were relatively less than in 1914. There is no evidence that the country has yet passed the peak of its business mortality. The total liabilities, as reported by Dun's Review, for December amounted to $87,502,000 and were the highest ever recorded for a single month. Liabilities in January dropped slightly to $73,796,000, but the number of failures increased from 2,444 in December to 2, 723 in January. This latter figure is the highest recorded since January, 1915. The number of firms failing per 1,000 firms in pusiness was 10.3 for 1921, which may be compared with the low point of 3.8 per thousand in 1919 and with 13.2 per thousand in 1915. This latter figure marks the peak in this particular for recent years.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
The rise in foreign exchange rates continued during January. The greatest relative increases were made in the French, Belgian, Argentine and Canadian exchanges, while a decline of 6! per cent in Chilean exchange stands out contrary to the general movement. The foreign exchange index number increased 4 points, the same as in December and only slightly less than the increase in November. FOREIGN TRADE.
Imports declined 8! per cent in January, and exports were 6 per cent .less than in December. The decline in import trade occurred from all sections of the world except North America. Argentina alone of the more important countries sent us more goods than in December. Exports declined to all continents. Slight increases occurred in shipments to France and Germany. TRADE AND INDUSTRY OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
British import trade declined 10 per cent in January, but export trade increased 6 per cent, due to the large increase in manufactured articles. The chief increases were in woolens and iron and steel. Pig-iron production increased, but steel output continued to
decline. The output of coal in December showed a. considerable increase. Stocks of zinc again declined. Canadian imports declined 14 per cent in January, and exports were 46 per cent less, largely a seasonal decline on account of the decline in wheat exports at this season of the year. Canadian bank clearings declined 16 per cent.· Japan's January trade showed an increase of 9 per cent in imports but a decline of 40 per cent in exports. Industrial activity in Belgium has increased considerably. January output of iron, steel, and coal was greater in each case than any month since the beginning of 1921.

TREND OF BUSINESS MOVEMENTS. The following table contains a summary of the monthly figures, designed to show the trend in important industrial and commercial movements. The numerical data for the latest months are given and in addition index numbers for the last four months and for two corresponding months of a year ago. In many lines the figures do not lend themselves readily to statistical uniformity, due to latene88 of heir publication or publication at other than monthly intervals; therefore the following explanations of the varioul! headings are offered to make clear such distinctions and in general to facilitate the use of the table: December, 1921.-This column gives the December figures corresponding to those for January shown in the "January, 1922," column-in other words, cover the previous month, and in some cases, where indicated by a footnote, refer to the previous quarter; that is, ending October 1, 1921. Janua:ry, 1922.-In this column are given the figures covering the month of January, or, as in the case of stocks, etc., the situation on January 31, or February 1. In a few cases (usually where returns are reported quarterly only) the figures are for the quarter ending December 31 or the condition on that date. Where this column is left blank, no figures for January were available at the time of going to press (March 8). Corresponding month, December, 1920, or January, 1921.-The figures in this column present the situation exactly a year previoqs to those in the "January, 1922," column (that is, generally, January, 1921), but where no figures were available for January, 1922, the December, 1920, figures have been inserted in this colum.n for comparison with the December, 192l, figures. In the case of quarterly figures this, column shows the corresponding quarter of 1920. · Cumulative for calendar year.-These columns set forth, for those items that can properly be cumulated, the cumulative total for the calendar years 1920 and 1921, respectively. Percentage increase ( +) or decrease (-) cumulative 1921 from 1920.-This column shows the per cent by which the cumulated total for the calendar year 1921, is greater (+) or less (-) than the total for the year 1920. Base year or period.-For purposes of comparison with a previous more or less normal period, all items, so far as possible, are related to such a period by index numbers. The period taken for each item, called the base, is the monthly average of the year or period stated in this column. Wherever possible, the year 1913 is taken as a base, and if no prewar figures are available, 1919 is usually taken to avoid using a war year as a basis. In some cases it will be noted that figures were not available prior to 1920 or even 1921, and that sometimes a month, or an average of a few months, has to be used rather than a year's average. Also, for some induBtries, 1919 would not be a proper base on account of extraordinary conditions in the industry and therefore some more representative year has been chosen. Index numbers.-In order to visualize the trend of each movement, index or relative numbers are given for the last four months and for two corresponding months of a year ago. These index numbers are computed by allowing the monthly average for the base period, usually 1913 or 1919, to equal 100. If the movement for a current month is greater than the base the index number will be greater than 100. If the converse is true the index number will be less than 100. The difference between 100 and any index number gives at once the per cent increase or decrease compared with the base period. Index numbers may also be used to compute the approximate per cent increase or decrease from one month to the next. . Percentage increase ( +) or decrease (-) January from December.-The last column shows the per cent increase or decrease of the figure for the last month compared with the preceding month.

Data furnished by the EMmelcd Sanitary Ware Manufadurera' A aaociation and said to represent approximately98 per cent of the total output in the United States. The Association explains that orders shipped are the best current index of the industry. Orders received are likely to pyramid during periods of great activity to be followed by cancellations if the demand drops oJI. Stocks always increase during the winter and spring months because more efficient work at the enameling ovens can be done in cold weather and manufacturers operate at maximum capacity as long as they can finance operations and lind storage capacity for tbe products. 1

in Belgium from A merlcan Bureau of Metal Statistic3: North Carolina pine from the North
Carolina Pine Aaaociatlon, Inc. • Data substituted for the production figures carried for copper in January number (No. 6). • Data computed from reports on actual production and shipments as furnished by the North Carolina Pine Association, Inc., for mills varying in number from 31 to 65. The computed figures given are obtained by first determining for a given month the per cent which the actual production is of the normal production ot the identical m1lls reporting. This per cent is then applied to an arbitrary figure of 70,000,000 board feet which represents the approximate monthly average normal production of the mills which reported in 1919. A similar per cent of actual shipments to normal production is applied to the same figure to obtain the computed shipment figures. The resulting figures represent a computed production as of identical mills for each month. The figures are of the same order of magnitude as the actual reported production and shipmenb but avoid the rather wide variations due to different mills reporting in different months.
