The Quarterly Data Originally Appears On 1901-10=100 Base And Has Here (NBER) Been Converted To The July, 1914=100 Base (To Agree With The Monthly Series Given On The July, 1914 Base) By Dividing The Original Data By 113.2, The Value Of July, 1914 On The 1901-10 Base And Multiplying By 100. The Figure, 113.2, Is Given By De Bernonville In Journal De La Societe De Statistique De Paris, June 1924, P.244.
