PRELIMINARY SUMMARY FOR NOVEMBERNovember business, according to early weekly
reports, was, in general, above last year. Bituminouscoal output continued to increase, reaching a highlevel, but beehive coke output was less than a yearago. Petroleum output was also at the highest levelsin over a year, but lumber output was lower than inthe corresponding weeks of November, 1925. Build-ing contracts awarded in the early part of Novemberwere slightly lower than a year ago, while car loadingscontinued their increase over the corresponding weeksof 1925.
Keceipts of wheat and cotton were higher than ayear ago in the early part of November, while cattle
receipts showed little change and hog receipts wereslightly lower. Wholesale prices continued to declineand in the third week of November were 6 per centbelow a year ago. Cotton and steel prices rose slightlyin the early part of November but wheat declined.
Bank loans were somewhat lower than in October,but were higher than a year ago. Check paymentswere about on a level with the first two weeks ofNovember, 1925. Business failures were slightlyhigher than a year ago. Call-money rates advancedslightly from October, while time money showed adeclining tendency. Prices of both stocks and bondsmade advances over October.
RECORD BOOK OF
Earlier in the year, subscribers for the "Survey7'were informed of the preparation of a Record Book ofBusiness Statistics to extend the data now publishedin the "Survey77 back to pre-war years whereverpossible. This volume is now under way but thedifficulties in locating early data as well as in making

them comparable with present series has greatlydelayed the compilation. It will, therefore, be somemonths before the Record Book is completed. Noticeof its completion will be published in the "Survey77
in due course, together with details as to price andmethods of distribution.

MONTHLY BUSINESS INDICATORS
The following table gives comparative relative numbers for a selected list of important business movements. It is believedthat this table will prove useful, because it segregates from the large mass of material a comparatively small number of items whichare often regarded as indicative of business in general.
The table has been divided into two parts, the first containing those items for which relative numbers can be calculated, using1913 as a base. The second part contains items for which comparable data back to 1913 are not available. This latter group ofrelative numbers is calculated by letting the 1919 monthly average equal 100. Care should therefore be exercised in comparing theabsolute value of the two sets of data. In either group, however, the upward or downward trend of the relative numbers, comparedto previous months, does reflect the present tendency in each item and will give a basis for business judgment.

i Data since January, 1925, cover only stocks east of California, and hence are not.directly comparable with figures for earlier periods.* Wholesale and retail prices from Department of Labor averaged for the month; farm prices from Department of Agriculture.• Based on the total computed production reported by 5 associations. Includes southern pine, Douglas flr, western pine, North Carolina pine, and California white
pine. The total production of these associations in 1919 was equal to 11,401,000,000 board feet, compared with a total lumber production for the country of 34,552,000,000board feet reported by the census.

COURSE OF BUSINESS IN OCTOBERGENERAL BUSINESS
Industrial activity in October, after adjustment fordifferences in working time, although showing nochange from the preceding month, recorded an advanceof almost 2 per cent over October, 1925. The produc-tion of raw materials was larger than in either the pre-vious month or the same month of the preceding year,increases over both periods which occurred in mineralsand the marketing of animal products and crops, beingmore than sufficient to offset declines in forest prod-ucts. Building contracts awarded both in point offloor space and value were smaller than in either theprevious month or the same month of 1925. Unfilledorders of manufactured commodities, principally ironand steel and building materials, showed similar de-clines from both prior periods. Stocks of commodities,after allowance for seasonal variations, w^ere higherthan at the end of either the previous month or Octo-ber, 1925.
Prices paid to producers of farm products averagedlower than in September, due to a decline of 30 percent in cotton prices. As compared with last year ag-ricultural commodities were lower in prices. Whole-sale prices were lower than in either the previousmonth or the same month of last year, while the cost
21310—26 2
of living, though showing no material change from thepreceding month, was also lower than a year earlier.
Factory employment showed slight gains over boththe preceding month and a year ago, while pay-roll pay-ments were substantially larger than at either period.Check payments, indicative of the general volume oftrade, after adjustment for seasonal conditions, werelower than in either the preceding month or October,1925. Retail trade was generally lower than last year,sales by mail-order houses and department storesshowing the principal declines. However, as com-pared with September retail trade in October washigher. More goods moved into consumption, as seenfrom figures on carloadings, than in October, 1925.Stock prices averaged lower than in the precedingmonth and in the case of industrial issues were lowerthan last year. While interest rates on commercialloans averaged higher than in either the previousmonth or the same month of last year, rates on callloans declined.
Business failures were more numerous than in eitherthe previous month or the same month of 1925, witha similar comparison in the case of defaulted liabilities.

SUMMARY OF INDEXES OF BUSINESS
PRODUCTION
The output of raw materials was 13 per cent greaterthan in October, 1925, a decline of 15 per cent in theproduction of forest products being insufficient to off-set increases in the output of minerals and the market-ing of animal products and crops. Of the minerals,all were produced in larger quantities than a year agoexcept gold, which declined, while as compared withthe preceding month, the production of all minerals wasgreater except in the case of iron ore and gold, whichdeclined, and petroleum, which showed no change.
Of the animal products, increased marketings overa year ago in the case of wool, poultry, fish, and milkwere sufficient to give a general increase of 2 per centdespite declines in the marketings of cattle, sheep, hogs,and eggs. In the case of crops, marketings for eachmajor group were larger than a year ago, the greatestrelative increase occurring in the case of fruits. Lumberand pulp-wood products were lower than last year inoutput.
Manufacturing output, after adjustment for differ-ences in working time, showed no change from the pre-
vious month but was almost 2 per cent higher than ayear ago. As compared with the preceding monthproduction increases were noted in foodstuffs, ironand steel, leather, paper, and printing, chemicals andoils, and tobacco, with declines in lumber, stone andclay products, nonferrous metals, and miscellaneous,including automobiles and rubber. Textiles showedno change from September. As compared with lastyear all the principal industries showed increasesexcept lumber, nonferrous metals, and miscellaneous,including automobiles and rubber, which declined.
COMMODITY STOCKS
Stocks of commodities, after allowance for seasonalchanges, were held in larger quantities at the end ofOctober than at the end of either the previous monthor October, 1925, this condition being more especiallydue to larger holdings of raw foodstuffs, althoughmanufactured foodstuffs and other manufacturedcommodities were also held in larger quantities thana year earlier.
RELATIVE PRODUCTION, STOCKS, AND UNFILLED ORDERS FOR MANUFACTURED COMMODITIES[1920 monthly average=100. Adjustment has been made for both stocks and production for their respective seasonal movements. Unfilled orders are principally those
of iron, steel, and building materials. October, 1926, is latest month plotted]
PRODUCTION 64 COMMODITIES
SALES
The index of unfilled orders of manufactured com-modities, principally iron and steel and buildingmaterials, declined from both the previous month andthe same month of last year, the decline from a yearago in iron and steel amounting to 19 per cent and inbuilding materials to 13 per cent. As compared with
September, iron and steel showed a decline of 8 percent and building materials a decrease of 11 per cent.
The dollar volume of wholesale trade was lower inOctober than in either the preceding month or Octo-ber, 1925. Wholesale trade in drugs and hardwarewas higher than in September, while meats, dry goods,groceries, and shoes were lower. All groups declinedfrom October, 1925.
![Page 13: ^^gj^fl^^jl^^^iS^ ^fts^@;;v•••,?:-~' ::-:m;64;r-r ... states department of commerce washington survey of current business compiled by bureau -of the census : : bureau of foreign](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042605/5af7c1867f8b9a44658b7cce/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
11Retail trade was generally less active than a year
ago with mail-order sales and department-store tradeshowing a falling off from the level of October, 1925.Compared with September, retail trade was moreactive in October, however.
PRICES
Prices paid producers for agricultural productsaveraged lower in October than in either the precedingmonth or October, 1925. As compared with Septem-ber, however, the decline in the general index of agri-cultural prices was alone due to a decline of 30 percent in cotton, all other groups either remaining sta-tionary or advancing. Contrasted with last year,agricultural commodities brought lower average prices
except in the case of meat animals and other unclassi-fied items of produce.
Wholesale prices declined 1 per cent and 5 per cent,respectively, from the preceding month and October,1925. All commodity groups showed a decline fromboth periods except fuels, which advanced over bothprior periods, and food, metals, building materials,and house furnishings, which, although lower than lastyear, showed no change from September. Commercialindexes showed generally the same condition com-pared with the preceding month and October, 1925.
The cost of living, though showing no appreciablechange from September, was lower than last year,,food and shelter costs showing the principal declinesfrom October, 1925.
