Widespread economic improve ment on many sectors, better price structures and increased individual welfare were reported by the com- inerce secretary in his detailed ac- count of business conditions and efforts of his department to pro- mote recovery.
 '"The fiscal year 1885, he said, marked the second year of sus- tained recovery from the depres- sion which reached its depth dur ing the fiscal year l932-33, after al- most continuous decline since 1929.
 Perhaps the outstanding feature of the fiscal year just past was the better balanced relationship estab- liShed in our whole national econ- omy, following the irregular im- provementS which characterized the preceding year. AS a result, the qualitative changes were of signi- ficance comparable with the quan- titative gains of the year.
 Backed Up By Statistics.
 ''ThiS visible evidence of the en- hanced individual welfare and se- curity in the past year is supported by the statistical indicators of pro- gresS. Taking only the most in- elusive of these data-the estimates of national income-it is significant to note that considerable increase was registered during the fiscal year.
 Complete data are not available for fiscal periods, but in the cal endar year 1884 national income
