sBased upon index in Table IV, reduced to deviations from a curvilinear trend based upon preliminary 
mathematical approximations smoothed with the aid of a French curve. Seasonal variation adjusted for 
by method described in “The Measurement of Seasonal Variation," by Helen D. Falkner, in the Journal of 
the American Statistical Association, June, 1924, pp. 167-179. Two sets of seasonal indices were computed, 
one for 1889 to 1903. the other for 1904 to 1914.
