CAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
(Including.Monthly Review of Sources and Uses
of Funds of Financial Intermediaries)

The volume of public security financing was substantial last
week. Corporations sold large issues totaling $lh3 million and State
and local governments offered issues with aggregate proceeds of $173
million. The State and local government total includes Missouri's rescheduled $55 million bond issue which was sold at a net interest cost
of 2.2U per cent. In mid-September when $30 million of these Aaa-rated
bonds were first offered for sale no bids were received because of a
3 per cent interest rate limitation.
This week, a large corporate issue of $75 million is expected,
and State and local government issues totaling #112 million are scheduled
for sale. A $15 million bond issue of the Union of South Africa was sold
on January 21.
Bond yields" - Yields on outstanding bonds declined further last
week, except for U. S. Government bond yields which increased slightly.
The decline was particularly sharp for yields on State and local government bonds.
Offering yields on new corporate issues have also declined
further recently. A new A-rated, 30-year first mortgage electric utility
issue was offered to investors on Tuesday of this week to yield 3.80 per
cent — 5 basis points below that for a comparable issue sold last week,
and 170 basis points below a comparable issue in early November. An Aa- .
rated issue with similar terms was offered on Thursday to yield 3-60 per
cent — 70 basis points below that for the last comparable issue, an
offering made in early December.
Stock market credit - Customer credit in the stock market (excluding that extended on U. S. Government securities) showed little net
change during December, reaching a level of $3,576 million at the end of.
the month. This is the smallest amount outstanding since January 1955,
and represents a decline of 11 per cent from the peak in June 1957* Net
debit balances declined #35 million in December5 the decline, however, .
was nearly offset by the increase in bank loans to "others." Borrowing
(except borrowing on U. S. Government securities) by member firms of the
NYSE maintaining margin accounts increased in December. Customers net
free credit balances also increased. These and other data on stock market
credit for December and November are shown in the following table.

Stock prices - The Standard and Poor's index of 5>U0 common
stocks increased about 2 per cent last week, closing at iil.10 on January 17. Prices showed little change on balance in early part of this
week, closing at i|1.20 on Wednesday.
Institutional investors - I n November, savings capital at
savings and loan associations increased more than a year earlier, while
the increases in life insurance company assets and deposits at mutual
savings banks were smaller than in November 1956.
The increase in life insurance company assets during November
amounted to $373 million, about 8 per cent less than a year earlier.
As has been the case in each month this year, the increase in holdings
of mortgages was much smaller this November. The increase in business
security portfolios, however, was more than twice as large as a year
ago. Net liquidation of U. S. C-ovemment securities was about the same
in both years.
The net increase in savings capital of savings and loan associations was $399 million, about six per cent greater than a year earlier.
While holdings of U. S. Government securities increased, the increase
was below that in the corresponding month of 1956, but funds invested
in mortgages were larger.




H.lli

Growth in deposits at mutual savings banks in November was
$36 million, compared with an increase of $$0 million a year ago.
(The decline in savings and time deposits at commercial banks, which
is usual in November when Christmas savings deposits are withdrawn,
was about the same in both years.) Net liquidation of U. 3. Government
securities by savings banks in November was greater than last year.
Net acquisition of mortgages was more than I4.O per cent smaller than a
year earlier, while net purchases of business securities continued to
be unusually large.
More detailed information concerning recent capital market
developments is presented in the attached exhibits.
