payrolls declining 1.8 per cent.
Since New York factories are
quite typical of industry in most
of the country, they generally
anticipate the tardy Federal fig
ures.
This decline is a little more
than usual for the season. MY
adjusted index" which takes the
average for 1921 as 100, was only
TIL for June.
Short Hours Cut Earnings
The payrolls were only a little
more than half what they were
in 1921. This, together with the
fact that they declined in June
more than employment did, tends
to show that short hours are
necessarily reducing the earnings
Of factory workers.
It is fact that during the past
year, retail food prices have risen
more than the average weekly
earnings of industrial laborers
in New York.
In the second place, let us ex'
anime the sales record Of the
nations chief department stores.
Decline Seen
When we put these on an
average daily basis, and allow for
the usual seasonal change, we
find that there was a decline Of
nearly five per cent in June.
Compared with a year ago, the
Atlanta and Dallas areas held
up well, but most other areas
were hardly so good. When we
allow for probable liquor sales

and for the 1920 per cent rise in
prices, we must conclude that
throughout most of the country
people bought less merchandise
than a year ago.
This is most markedly true Of
the San Francisco, New York,
Boston, Minneapolis and Chicago
areas.
Next, we have the building &C.

1915 per cent of the five-year av.
erage during 1925. This com.
pares with 1874 per cent in May.
Evidently the May squirt was
temporary and artificial. Permits
are the lowest since February.
March and April last year, which
was the lowest in many, many
years.
Contracts Less

Government spending for public
works." A year ago, the Govern
ment financed % per cent of the
total construction, which includes
bridges, roads, etc. Last month it
was financing 81 per cent.
Steel ingot production in June
was lower than in May, but when
we allow for trend and seasonal
factors, it shows practically I'M
changed at 500 per cent of NOR
NAL" against 694 per cent in
May. Pig iron production was up
nearly per cent. The number
of blast furnaces active declined
during the month, however, and
the percentage of capacity fell
from 48 to 1913. This showing
is very similar to that Of last
August, and strongly suggests a
further let down in steel manu-
featuring.
LOadings Gain
Railway car loading gained very
slightly in June, thanks chiefly to
the temporary stimulation of the
