THE CURRENT ECONOMIC SITUATION IN CANADA

Economic conditions in Canada showed improvement in 1934, adding to the advance re- corded in the greater part of the preceding year. Most of the principal factors measuring the trend of economic activity were consequently much more favourable than during the low point of the depression reached in 1932 and the first quarter of 1933. The improvement was well denned during the first part of the year just ended, many factors reflecting a process of consolidation during the later months. The physical volume of business at the dawn of the new year was about equivalent to that of the later part of 1931.

The level of business operations in the last half of 1934 was of course far below that of 1928 or 1929. The result was that large numbers of the increasing active population remained un- employed, and many plants were either idle or operated at a point far below capacity levels.

A feature of the year was the advance in high-grade bond prices to the maximum point since the pre-war period. Wholesale prices remained stable at a level somewhat higher than that of 1933. After considerable fluctuation, common stock prices were slightly higher at the end of the year than at the beginning. The average of the official index for the twelve months ended December was 24-9 per cent greater than the average for 1933. Trading on the Montreal and Toronto stock exchanges was inactive as compared with the preceding year. Forestry

Activity in the forestry group was greater than in any year since 1930. Following the marked gain culminating in August, 1933, some further expansion was shown before the end of 1934. While "the price of newsprint remained at depression levels, the output showed a marked gain of 28 per cent. The production in the first eleven months was 2,358,000 tons compared with 1,841, 700. The output of 1934 was second only to that of 1929.

An active export trade was transacted in planks and boards, the outward movement in the first eleven months being 1,269,000,000 feet, a gain of 38-2 per cent over the same period of 1933, The export movement was greater than in any year since 1930. Employment in the logging industry was at a high point on the latest date, indicating preparations to supply an expanding market. Manufacturing

Measured by an index of manufacturing production based on 29 factors, the level of opera- tions in 1934 was greater than in any year since 1930. During the 16 years in the post-war period only five — those from 1926 to 1930 — showed greater activity than in 1934. The index on the base of 1926 averaged 93-6 in the first 11 months of the year under review compared with 79 • 1 in the same period of 1933, a gain of 18 • 3 per cent.

The gain in the index of employment in manufacturing plants was from 80 -9 in 1933 to 90-3 in 1934, amounting to 11.6 per cent. The advance in the prices of fully and chiefly manufactured commodities was of a moderate character, being limited to 4.9 per cent.

The manufacture of producers' goods normally fluctuates more widely than the production of goods designed for direct consumption. The disparity has been especially pronounced since the beginning of 1931. The production of producers' goods declined sharply in that year and has since been at a relatively lower level than the production of consumers' goods. The greater recovery in producers' goods in the last two years has not yet closed the gap. Inactivity in the production of durable goods was one of the essential factors of the depression and recovery in such industries as lumber and iron and steel was a major contribution to the economic improvement of the last two years.

The gain in the production of consumers' goods was 9-4 per cent in 1934 over the preceding year, while the advance in producers' goods was computed at nearly 30 per cent. A moderate reaction was shown in the production of producers' goods in the later months of 1934. The advance in the production of consumers' goods, on the other hand, was practically continuous during the year.

MONTHLY REVIEW OF BUSINESS STATISTICS 5

Iron and Steel Industry

An excellent barometer of activity in the group engaged in the production of plant and equipment is the output of iron and steel. The uses of iron and steel are fairly general in the production and renewal of railway and industrial equipment, explaining the strategic position occupied by the industry in reflecting cyclical fluctuations. For the first eleven months of 1934, the production of pig iron amounted to 364,631 long tons compared with 190,464 in the same period of 1933, a gain of 91 -4 per cent. The output of steel ingots at 700,187 long tons recorded an increase of 95 -4 per cent.

The index of steel production at 98-0 was greater than in any year since 1930, while pig iron production recorded a gain over 1932 and 1933.

Imports of iron and steel products during the first eleven months at $86,750,000 showed a gain of 56 -3 per cent over 1933. Automobile Production

Fluctuations in the automobile industry are known to correspond in general with the trend of purchasing power. A high level of purchasing power leads to expansion in sales, while the lack of effective demand such as occurs in a time of depression results in drastic curtailment. The expansion in the use of motor car was one of the striking features of the decade following the war, exerting a powerful influence on productive capacity. The widespread use of the motor car in Canada was indicated by the registration of nearly 1,083,000 cars in 1933.

The output of automobiles during the first 11 months of 1934 was 114,158, being a gain of 82-2 per cent over the same period of 1933. The expansion in the production of automobiles has reinforced the prosperity of other industries engaged in the manufacture of raw materials and accessories. The tire and petroleum refining industries had been adversely affected by the depression, but the expansion in motor car production in 1934 had a beneficial effect upon de- mand for such products. The imports of crude rubber at 57,321,000 pounds in the first 11 months of 1934 showed a gain of nearly 46 per cent over the same period of 1933. The gain in the imports of crude petroleum, indicating conditions in the oil industry, at 1,027,500,000 gallons showed a gain of 15-5 per cent. Construction

The records of the construction industry are generally regarded as being of great value for barometric purposes. During a time of depression the existing plant and equipment, generally speaking, is more than sufficient to meet current demands for industrial products. Once the the fixed capital equipment is again operated at a high percentage of capacity corresponding to the state of affairs in the preceding period of maximum prosperity, the construction industry immediately acquires additional momentum. The high level of operations from 1927 to 1929, as shown by the value of contracts awarded being in excess of $400,000,000 per year, is a fitting commentary upon the correlation of the industry with economic progress. The decline in con- struction from 1929 to 1933 coincided with the recurrence of a major depression.

While contracts awarded at $125,812,000 showed a gain of 29-3 p. c. over the preceding year, the new business obtained by the industry was at a low level compared with the years from 1923 to 1929. Building permits in the first eleven months were $24,300,000 compared with $19,793,000 in the same months of 1933, a gain of nearly 23 p. c. Hydro Electric Power

Although no new large water power undertakings were initiated in 1934, work was continued on several developments already under construction. As a result net new installations of about 214,965 horse power were brought into operation during the year. The total installations for the Dominion at the end of 1934 was consequently 7,547,000 horse power. The increase in installation during 1934 was due mainly to the completion of the Rapide Blanc development of the Shawinigan Water and Power Co., on the St. Maurice river and to the installation of an additional unit by the Beauharnois Light, Heat and Power Co. Other installations of lesser importance were completed in British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia.

The output of electric power in the first eleven months of 1934 was 19,089,000,000 kilowatt hours, a gain of 20-5 p. c. over the same months of the preceding year. The increase over 1930, the previous maximum, was about 17 p. c.

Even after deduction of exports and deliveries to electric boilers, the output of the first

6 MONTHLY REVIEW OF BUSINESS STATISTICS

eleven months of 1934 reached a new high point in the history of the industry, the gain over 193D after these deductions being about 3 • 5 p. c. The gain in output during 1934 was general, being most pronounced in the province of Quebec. Mineral Production

The value of mineral production in 1934 surpassed not only the preceding year but with the exception of 1929 and 1930 exceeded all other years in the history of the industry. The estimated value was $278,337,000 in 1934, an increase of 26 p. c. over the production of $221,495,000 in the preceding year. The most striking increases were found among the metals, where several new high records of production were established. The value of the Canadian gold output was greater than ever before, the total in Canadian funds being $102,242,000 compared with $84,350,000 in the preceding year. The price averaged $34.49 per fine ounce against $28.60 in 1933.

Copper output at 367,000,000 pounds was a record, exceeding 1930, the previous high year by 21 p. c. The value of the year's production totalled $26,881,000 against a value of $37,948,000 in 1930.

The output of nickel was 130,346,000 pounds, an increase of 56 p. c. over 1933 and 18 p. c. over 1929, the previous record year. Lead production established a record at 342,811,000 pounds, showing an increase of 29 p. c. over 1933. The output of zinc at 300,747,000 pounds was 51 p. c. greater than in 1933 and 12 p. c. over 1930, the previous maximum.

Coal production was 13,891,000 long tons, a gain of 16-7 p. c. over the 11,903,000 produced in 1933. The output of cement was valued at $5,729,000 compared with $4,537,000. The Agricultural Situation

One of the chief factors operating to expand or contract industrial enterprise is the production and value of the principal farm crops. In a county such as Canada where agriculture occupies a large place among the economic activities of the nation, the crop yield cannot but affect the general trend of business. The wheat crop was only slightly above that of 1933, the yield per acre being 11-5 bushels compared with 10-4. Owing to the considerably higher price, the gain in the value of the wheat crop was of appreciable proportions, the total being $159,455,000 compared with $122,864,000.

The preliminary estimate of the value of field crops in 1934 at $536,498,600 showed a gain of $112,902,000 over the valuation for 1933. The higher level was mainly due to increases of $37 million in hay and clover; $36| million in wheat; $31 million in oats and $10| million in barley. Country deliveries of wheat from August 1 to November 30, 1934, amounted to 161 million bushels compared with 151 million bushels during the same period of the preceding year. Stocks of Canadian wheat in store in all positions on Dec. 28, 1934, were 258 million bushels as compared with 242 million bushels on the same date of 1933. Exports of Canadian wheat were 73 million bushels during the four months from August to November compared with 75 million for the same months of the preceding year. The average cash price of No. 1 Northern wheat at Winnipeg was 81-5 cents per bushel from August to November, 1934, compared with 66-3 cents in the corre- sponding period of 1933, a gain of 23 p. c. Railways and Shipping

Appreciable gain was shown in the revenue freight handled by the railways of Canada during 1934. The increase in the freight movement was nearly 15 p. c, total loadings being about 2,320,000 cars against 2,032,000 in 1933. A considerable increase was also shown over 1932. Loadings of grain and coke were fighter than in 1933, but each of the other commodity groups in the official classification recorded advances.

The gain in gross operating revenues on the Canadian lines of the Canadian National over the first 11 months of 1933 was 11-5 p. c, while the Canadian Pacific recorded an increase of 10-4 p. c. in the same comparison.

The aggregate cargo tonnage of five ports of Canada, namely, Halifax, Saint John, Quebec, Toronto and Vancouver was 11,626,000 tons in the first ten months of 1934 compared with 10,758,000 tons in the same period of 1933, an increase of 8 p. c. External Trade

The pronounced gain in external trade was a feature of the economic betterment of the year. The total exports of Canadian merchandise in the first eleven months of 1934 were $592,000,000 compared with $481,000,000 in its predecessor, an increase of $111,000,000 or 23 • 1 p. c. Exports of coin and bullion not included with merchandise exports also scored a remarkable advance due in the main to the higher prices secured for gold bullion.

MONTHLY REVIEW OF BUSINESS STATISTICS 7

The value of imports advanced from $365,800,000 in the eleven-month period to $474,400,000, a gain of no less than 29-7 p. c. The favourable balance of trade, taking no account of the out- ward shipment of new gold bullion, was $124,100,000, an increase of 3-2 p. c. over the same period of 1933. Economic Ratios

For the appraisal of Canada's present position, attention is drawn to five ratios of economic importance extending over the post-war period presented in the chart appearing on page 15. Of these the relationship between the physical volume of business and wholesale prices occupies the premier position. Price fluctuations during the seven years from 1923 to 1929 were of a relatively moderate character, the comparative stability of the price level encouraging business expansion. The price stability of that period contrasts sharply with the rising trend of business operations. The prosperity phase of the secondary post-war cycle was characterized by relative price stability, although the normal development in line with historical precedent would have been a considerable advance in commodity prices. The decided expansion in the volume of productive enterprise was the chief element in the prosperity of the period. Following upon continuous declines between 1929 and 1932, the last two years were characterized by a simultaneous advance in business operations and prices. The greater gain in the physical volume of business resulted at the end of the year in a relatively higher level than for wholesale prices. The Foreign Situation

Measured by information available regarding fifteen important countries, industrial produc- tion in Canada showed greater recovery in 1934 than in any other country of the group except Germany and Sweden. The index of industrial production in Canada on the 1928 base averaged 79-7 in the first 11 months of 1934 compared with 64-6 in the same period of the preceding year, a gain of 23 -4 p. c. Great Britain, Sweden, Germany and Italy also recorded important gains over last year. France and Belgium were less prosperous and the gain in the Netherlands was slight. The position in Poland was greatly improved, the index moving up 10-4 p. c. The increase in the index of the United States was limited to 2-5 p. c. in this comparison. Most Canadian industries showed relatively greater activity during the available portion of 1934.

Industrial production in France, while fairly well maintained in 1930, has subsequently showed marked decline. An upward trend was recorded in the twelve months ended July, 1933, while further reaction characterized the available portion of 1934. The average of the index of industrial production in 1934 was 78-8 compared with 84 -7 in the same period of 1933.

The lowest point of industrial production in Great Britain for recent years was reached in the later months of 1931. Operations were well maintained at a slightly higher level in 1932. An advance was recorded in 1933 and operations during 1934 were at a level corresponding closely with those of 1929. Measured by the index of business activity published by "The Economist," Great Britain has definitely emerged from the worst phases of the depression.

While industrial conditions in the United States showed unmistakable improvement over the levels of 1932 and the first quarter of 1933, the record of the last two years was marred by severe reactions offsetting much of the temporary advance. The index of industrial production trans- ferred to the base of 1928 for purposes of direct comparison, averaged 70-8 in the first eleven months of 1934, only 2 -5 p. c. greater than in the same months of 1933. The December Trend

Due in part to the occurrence of five Sundays, industrial production declined in December from the preceding month. The index of industrial production was 91-0 compared with 97-0 in November. The index of mineral production declined due to reduced volume in copper, silver and coal. The index of manufacturing production was 91-8 compared with 96-0. The index of food production based on ten factors dropped from 96-5 to 91-7. A gain was shown in crude rubber imports, and raw wool was imported in greater volume. A slight gain was recorded in the imports of raw cotton before seasonal adjustment. Newsprint, after adjustment, reached a new high point in history. . The primary iron and steel industry was more active, and the motor car industry commenced operations on new models. Petroleum imports dropped off sharply. Construction contracts declined, while the output of electric power recorded a sharp expansion. Merchandise imports were at a lower level, while adjusted exports were slightly higher.
