Washington, Jan. 21. Exceptional
activity in all lines of business for
the closing month of 1922 is shown
by a survey of domestic business

since 1920 in pig iron production, a
larger out put of coal and coke, heavy
car loadings, a- December record for
building activities, a market inoTease
in receipts of foreign goods and a
heavy consumption of silk, together
with the heaviest volume of retail
sales ever recorded are among the
favorable factors shown.

commission upon this income, to pay

indebtedness, maintain its organiza
tion, have ample funds for mainten
ance of the stale road system, and to
set aside at least .$i"i(),(MK per year for
ii sinking fund to retire the road
bonds when they mature.
The commission's survey of the gen
eral condition of the slate follows:
"First and fundamentally, the' vol
ume ol brand new wealth created in
North Carolina in 1!22:
"It amounted, all told, to more than
one and u third hitiiou dollars at farm
and factors prices, as follows: Manu
factured products, SS3(Mn000; crops,
livestock and livestock products, $410.
uuii.oi hi ; wiMHllot and forest products.
l" ?? t""1
The total Is more than three time
times
that of Win. In a single year, we cre
ated more than a third as much
weaitli ns we have accumulated on
our tax hooks in -oO years. It aver
aged, nearly $800 per Inhabitant in
11122, counting men, women and chil
dren of Isith luces, or $2,000 per fam
ily. No other state ih the south he
gins to approach North Carolina in
the per capita production of new
wealth, and only seven states of the
union stand above her in the total out
put of new wealth.
"Second; Despite the, drop In mar
ket prices the total farm wealth pro
duced in tlie state in 1022 is more than
twice tlie total of I'.llO $110,200,000
against $17o,tilO,000. We produced
i.'i.ooo'halc of cotton more than in
1021. and climbed to tlie fourth place
in the cotton belt south. The average
advance of cotton and tobacco prices
throughout the season gave to the
farmers, the' merchant, and bankers
of the state sixty mi 11 ion dollars in
cash more than the year before. As a
result. North Carolina Is paying hack
the eight million dollar loan of the
war finance corporation faster than
any other state in the union.
"Thrld ; The mills and factories of
the state have lieen running on full
time almost without exception. Fac
tory prices are less but the volume of
manufactured goods is greatly in-
I " W "" " "
is
scarcely lessened. New mills are lie
ing built all over the state. The de
mand for laiKir in the factories, the
building trades, and In highway con
struction has been sternly and at no
time has unemployment been a serious
problem ill North Carolina as in tin
great industrial area, north and east,
and in the boll weevil area of the
south.
"Fourth: These are the fundamental
facts' that explain our $307.tHo,OOO
Imuk-resonri-es, our $1 lO.OOO.OtIO lunik
account savings, our investment of an
additional $30,000,000 ill motor cars
in 1022, our ability to own $14li.00O.(KO
worth of automobiles and trucks and
to buy gallons of gasoline In twelve
months. They explain the greatly In
crease of our building and loan asso
ciations, and the erection of residenc
es, warehouses, factories, hotels and
office buildings everywhere. They al
so explain our ability to pay $122
