\2\ Seasonally adjusted, end of period. Inventories beginning January 1982 for manufacturing and December 1980 for wholesale and retail trade are not comparable with earlier periods.
\3\ Inventory/sales ratio. Annual data are: beginning 1982, averages of monthly ratios; for 1965-81, ratio of December inventories to monthly average sales for the year; and for earlier years,
weighted averages. Monthly ratios are inventories at end of month to sales for month.
