PRELIMINARY SUMMARY FOR SEPTEMBER

Dividend and interest payments paid during Sep-tember by steam railroads, street railways, and indus-trial companies were much larger than those paidduring August. As compared with a year ago interestpayments were greater, while the payments of divi-dends as a whole were less. Loans and discounts ofFederal reserve member banks, although showing butslight difference from the preceding month, were lowerthan the level at the end of September, 1929. Pricespaid for industrial and railroad stocks averaged higherduring September than a month ago; however, theywere lower than the same period, a year ago. Bondprices on the other hand, were higher than either com-parative period. Rates of interest on time loans aver-aged lower than in August, while call-money ratesshowed but slight change. Both rates were lower thana year ago. Business failures, although greater in num-ber than the preceding month showed smaller liabilities.Bank debits, outside New York City, declined from boththe month of August, 1930, and September, 1929.

17028—30 1 (1)

Receipts of both foreign and domestic wool at Bos-ton, declined seasonally from August and were lowerthan during September, 1929. The activity of steelmills, during the early weeks of the month, showing asteady increase was greater than the correspondingperiod in August. Detroit employment, usually ac-cepted as an indicator of the automobile industry, in-dicated slight change from the preceding month, butwas about twice what it was during July, two monthsago. The distribution of goods by railroads as shownby carloadings for the early weeks of September wassmaller than either a month ago or the same period in1929.

The wholesale price level as measured by Fishers' in-dex, averaged higher during September than a monthago, but was considerably below the level of last year.

Increases were noted in September, 1930, over Sep-tember, 1928, in loans and discounts of Federal re-serve member banks, and the prices of principalbonds.

MONTHLY BUSINESS INDICATORS, 1923-1930[Ratio charts—see explanations on inside front cover. The curves on check payments, wholesale trade, 10-cent chains, and department stores have been adjusted for normal

seasonal variations, and manufacturing production for the varying number of working days in the month as well. 1923-1925 monthly average=100]

BUSINESS CONDITIONS IN AUGUST

Manufacturing and mineral production in August,1930, according to the weighted index of the FederalReserve Board, showed slight declines from the pre-ceding month and were considerably below theirrespective levels of August, last year. Among theitems in the manufacturing group to show increasesover July, were leather and shoes, and cement, whileiron and steel showed no change. Although the otheritems recorded declined, the loss in any case did notexceed 2 per cent with the exception of tobacco, where

iron and steel and transportation equipment showeddeclines, while those for lumber showed no change.

Wholesale trade in August as reported to the Fed-eral Reserve Board by firms selling groceries, drygoods, hardware, and .drugs, indicated that sales inthese lines were smaller than during August, 1929.The total sales for the year to date also declined fromthe corresponding period last year. Departmentstore sales of 490 leading establishments in the 12Federal reserve districts showed a gain of 7 per cent

the decline was more. In the output of minerals, in-creases were noted in the production of anthracite coal,iron ore, copper, and zinc.

Automobile production showed a decline from Julyand was less than a year ago. Steel ingot productionwas greater than that of the month of July but de-clined from a year ago, while the output of pig ironwas less than either comparative period. Eenewedactivity was noted in the cotton textile industry bythe increased production, shipments, stocks, new andunfilled orders of cotton textiles over the precedingmonth.

SALES

Unfilled orders for manufactured goods at the endof August recorded declines from both the precedingmonth and the month of August a year ago. Ascompared with the month of July, 1930, orders for

over the month of July, but were somewhat smallerthan a year ago.

Sales by leading 5 and 10 cent chains registeredgains in almost every case over the preceding month.As compared with the month of August, 1929, saleswere lower. Mail-order sales also showed an upwardtendency during August, being higher than the salesof July, but, like the sales of 10-cent chains, fell off.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS

Total imports of merchandise during August weresmaller than during the preceding month and August,1929. Increases over July occurred in the imports ofcrude materials and finished manufactured goods,while declines occurred in the foodstuffs and semi-manufactured groups. Total exports showed a con-siderable gain over the preceding month, gains occur-ring in all the groups making up the total.

PRICES

The general index of wholesale prices in August, ascompiled by the Department of Labor; showed nochange from the month of July, but was considerablylower than August, 1929. While most groups stood atpractically the same level of preceding month, increaseswere noted in foodstuff prices, while fractional lossesoccurred in the prices for hides and leather products,textiles, metals, building materials, and house furnish-ing goods. Classified by state of manufacture, pricesfor all groups showed slightly lower averages from boththe preceding month and a year ago. Although the

In comparison with the previous month, increasedemployment occurred in factories producing textiles,leather goods, and chemicals. The principal declinesoccurred in factories producing iron and steel, machin-ery, foodstuffs, lumber, automobiles, and tobacco. Ascompared with the month of August, 1929, all groupsshowed decreased employment.

Factory pay rolls, in general, in keeping with de-creased employment, were lower than a month ago.Although wage payments were in the main lower thanJuly, increased payments were made by establishmentsproducing textiles and leather and shoes,, while no

averages were lower than those for July, the decline didnot exceed 1 per cent in any case.

The index representing prices received by farmersfor their products was 3 per cent lower than in Julyand 25 per cent lower than a year ago. As comparedwith the prices that ruled in July, increases occurredin prices received for grains and dairy and poultryproducts, while declines were noted in the prices forfruits and vegetables, meat animals, cotton and cotton-seed and unclassified items. In comparison withAugust, last year, declines occurred without exceptionin each case.

change in wage payments were noted in the cementand chemical industries. The principal declines froma month ago were indicated in factories producingautomobiles and petroleum products, this being due todecreased activity in those industries.

COST OF LIVING

The general cost-of-living index, as compiled by theNational Industrial Board, remained at the same levelas a month ago but showed a considerable decline fromthe month of August, 1929. Declines from Julyoccured in the shelter, clothing, and the sundriesgroups, while the foodstuffs group and the group com-prising fuel and light showed no change. As comparedwith August, 1929, all cost-of-living groups registeredsubstantial declines.

REVIEW OF PRINCIPAL BRANCHES OF INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE

TEXTILES

Imports of wool in August registered an increase overthe previous month but declined from August, 1929.Consumption of wool by textile mills, although show-ing but slight change from a month ago, was lowerthan last year. The activity of wool machinery indi-cated by the per cent of active hours was lower inmost cases than either prior period. The activity ofspindles in worsted spinning was greater and woolenspinning was less than the previous month.

Cotton receipts into sight during August, as reportedby the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, registered anincrease over both the preceding month and the monthof August, 1929. Exports of cotton likewise showed

about half what they were last year. Rayon pricesshowed no change from the preceding month.

The production of cotton textiles during August pre-sented rather a bright spot in the textile industry, in-creases over July occurring in the production, ship-ments, and new and unfilled orders, stocks alone show-ing a downward trend. Compared with a 3rear ago,all these trends showed a decline with the exceptionof stocks. Imports of cotton cloth were smaller thanduring prior comparative periods. Exports showedpractically the same level as a month ago. Both im-ports and exports were less than during August, 1929.Shipments and unfilled orders of finished cotton goods,although greater than during July, were less than dur-

Imports of silk were greater than the month ofJuly but fell off from the imports of August a year ago.Consumption of silk, as measured by deliveries of thecommodity, showed a gain over a month ago, but,like imports, were less than during 1929.

Rayon imports, including yarns, threads, and fila-ments, were larger than in July, but smaller than ayear ago. For the year to date imports of rayon were

The production of carded yarns during August, wasless than during the preceding month or a year ago.Unfilled orders were greater and stocks less than theprevious month. Prices for yarns showed slight lossesfrom a month ago.

Imports of buttons and shells were on the wholegreater than either prior period. Vegetable ivory ortagua nuts, however, showed declines from both priorperiods.

METALS

Iron ore shipments from the mines during Augustwere fractionally smaller than in July but showed afalling off from a year ago. Receipts at Lake Erieports and furnaces showed similar tendencies. Pig-iron production declined from both the precedingmonth and the same month in 1929. For the year todate less pig iron was produced than during the sameperiod last year. However, it would be well to notethat the amount produced this year showed but slightchange from the corresponding period in 1928, twoyears ago.

Steel furniture shipments in the business groupincreased over the preceding month, unfilled and neworders of this group being lower.

The output of steel ingots in the United Statesshowed an increase over the preceding month but waslower than in 1929. Unfilled orders of the UnitedStates Steel Corporation showed a decline from thepreceding month and the same period last year.

New orders and shipments of structural steel showeddeclines from the preceding month and a year ago.Shipments to date, showing a tonnage of 2,260,000short tons, indicate a marked gain over the corre-sponding period two years ago, when the shipmentswere 1,978,000 tons. The production of steel barrels,steel castings, and fabricated plate registered declinesfrom both prior periods. As compared with the yearto date increases were noted in the production andshipments of steel barrels and in the production ofsteel castings over a similar period in 1928. Unfilled

cultural machinery and internal combustion engineswere both less than either the preceding month or inAugust, 1929.

Mine copper output in the United States and worldblister copper production were both higher than amonth ago.

INDEXES OF BUSINESS

The index numbers presented in this table are designed to show the trend in production, prices, trade,etc., by commodities or groups. They consist in general of weighted combinations of series of individual relativenumbers; often the individual relative numbers are also given. The function of index and relative numbersis explained on the inside front cover. All of the index numbers, except where noted, are based on the averageof the years 1923 to 1925, while maxima and minima are given only since 1923, thus eliminating the abnormalperiod prior to 1923. Complete descriptions and figures for earlier years may be found in the following issuesof the Survey (later data being available in the latest semiannual issues): Production in the July, 1928, issue(No. 83), pages 18 to 22; stocks in the August, 1928, issue (No. 84), pages 20 to 22; new orders in the September,1928, issue (No. 85), page 19; unfilled orders in the January, 1928, issue (No. 77), pages 22 and 23; wholesaletrade in the January, 1928, issue (No. 77), page 21; mail-order and chain stores in the May, 1928, issue (No. 81),pages 20 and 21; department stores in the April, 1928, issue (No. 80), pages 20 and 21; employment, based on1923 as 100, in the August, 1928, issue (No. 84), page 108; farm prices in the August, 1928, issue (No. 84), page27; wholesale prices (Department of Labor) in the November, 1927, issue (No. 75), page 24, and the June, 1928,issue (No. 82), page 23; wholesale prices, commercial, in the August, 1928, issue (No. 84), page 26; cost of livingin the August, 1928, issue (No. 84), page 27, and the June, 1926, issue (No. 58), page 24.

PROSPECTIVE CAR LOADINGS, FOURTH QUARTER OF 1930

over the loadings of a year ago in the loadings of auto-mobiles in the Allegheny district, grain in the GreatLakes, trans-Missouri and northwest districts.

In the southeast district, comprising the States ofTennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia,and North and South Carolina, although as a wholeshowing a decline of 7 per cent from a year ago, manymarked increases in loadings will occur. Amongthose that stand out are anticipated loadings of hay,cottonseed and cottonseed oil, live stock, fresh vege-tables, gravel, and stone.

REGIONAL ADVISORY BOARD DISTRICTS

Commodity loadings by railroads in carload lotsfor the fourth quarter of 1930 are estimated by theregional advisory boards set up by the American Rail-way Association at somewhat more than 7 per centbelow the corresponding period of 1929. Theseestimates are compiled from detailed reports of com-mittees representing shippers of the various commodi-ties as first described in the August, 1927, issue of theSURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, page 20, and arecomparable with similar data published currentlysince that time. The boundaries of the various econ-omic districts set up by these boards are shown in theaccompanying chart.

The estimated decline from a year ago is largely dueto the decrease in the loadings of cotton, ore and con-centrates, lumber and forest products, brick and clayproducts, agricultural implements, and automobiles.Large decreases are also anticipated in the loadings ofcitrus fruits, and machinery and boilers, each of thesegroups showing prospective declines of 10 per cent ormore. Included among the principal increases areflour, meal, and other mill products, fresh fruits otherthan citrus, potatoes, fresh vegetables, petroleum andits products, sugar and sirup, and molasses.

Although declines were estimated for the country asa whole for the fourth quarter of this year, in compari-son with a year ago material gains were estimated
