E. Day's index of the physical volume of production in manufacture, unadjusted for secular trend, Review of F.conomic Statistics, July, 1924, p. 200. An estimate compiled by Dr. W. I. King, and based, prior to 1909, chiefly upon building permits in selected cities for which continuous records are available; subsequent to 1908 this index also includes es- timates based on construction by the Federal Government and by railways. °Compiled from Interstate Commerce Commission, Statistics of Railways in the United States. In- cludes “‘trackmen other than section foremen’’; as of June 30th of each year. Fiscal Years. In many instances migration data are available by fiscal years ending June 30th rather than by calendar years. Consequently, It 1s desirable to note what fiscal years are marked by depression conditions. In Chart 7 are given five series which are available on the fiscal year basis. The shift to the fiscal year basis does not make much change in the years which stand out as depression years. For the data compiled on the fiscal year basis we find that the relatively low years include the late seventies, 1885, 1894, 1897 61
