COMMERCE ANNUAL
TRACES 1881 TRADE
Business Steadied and Other
improvements Noted
in Yearbook.

Sterilization Of the volume of bust
ness and some improvement Of more
than seasonal proportions have occurred
during 1881, according to the Com
merce Departments yearbook.
The books analysis dealt with 1880
and prior years, however, and further
reference to the course of business
after the apparent Sterilization of this
year was omitted.
Last year, with its record of declin-
ing trade, prices and production as
part of the general economic depression,
developed a definite trend in the coun-
try's banking structure to fewer but
larger banking institutions, according
to analysis.
Banks Rise From Slump.
It was described as strikingly evident
from the facts adduced that larger
banks were arising last year from the
circumstances of the depression which
was obviously RESPONSIBLE for the record
high total of bank suspensions $40
in any one year.
The failures left the country with
1851 fewer banks than were in opera
ton at the end of 1929, and 6,733 less
than at the end of 1921, statistics
showed.
The analysis called attention to the
increasing efficiency Of labor and man
agement in most lines of commerce and
industry. The fact was manifest to an
! unusual extent in the 1929 figures, it
was explained, for those statistics re-
veal only slightly greater employment
in that year. compared with 1923, while
the value added by manufacture was
about 20 per cent.
Employment Traced.
The average number of persons en-
ployed in 1890 was about Is per cent
below that in 1929, but ga per cent
greater than in 1921. Pay rolls were
successfully smaller in each month OF
1880, with exception OF February, March
and September, and the average for
/. the year was 10 per cent below the
1929 level, but approximately IA per
cent above that of 1921.
The decline in pay rolls was traced
largely to increases in unemployment
and part-time employment. Employers
adopted far-sighted policy not so evil
