Industrial output continued, ¿br
ing May, 1927, below that of a year
ago, and reported volume of em
ployment, as a result of smaller pay
rolls in lumbering and food products
manufacturing, was less than in May,
1926. Daily average carloading of
railroads of the district are estimated
to have declined slightly over the
year period, value of sales at whole

Thig bank’s seasonally adjusted In
