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

The volume of public security financing continues to be
substantial. Last week, corporations sold large issues totaling
$103 million and State and local governments offered issues with
aggregate proceeds of $155 million.. The calendar for this week
includes corporate offerings totaling $195 million and State and
local government issues amounting to $109 million. Another State
and local government issue originally scheduled for sale this week
was postponed indefinitely, when the New York State Thruway Authority
rejected the only bid received (naming a 3»1i5 per cent net interest
cost) for its Aaa-rated bonds.
Bond yields - Changes in yields on outstanding bonds were
mixed last week. Yields on Baa-rated corporate and State and local
government bonds increased slightly, while the corporate Aaa's remained stable and yields on U. S. Government obligations and State
and local government Aaa's declined.
Since the change in the discount rate, bond yields have
declined sharply. For example, corporate Aaa yields through Tuesday
of this week had declined five basis points and the decline for the
Baa's was three points. The decline in yields was 16 basis points
for the U. S. Government (old series) and 8 points for new series
bonds from Thursday to this Tuesday. There are no daily figures
available for the yields on State and local government bonds. Over
the week ending last Thursday 5 Moody's composite series went up 2
basis points. For the week ending Friday, the Dow Jones municipal
bond yield series dropped eight basis points.
Declining yields on new corporate issues also reflect
changed market interpretation of credit conditions. An Aa-rated,
first mortgage public utility bond issue was offered "to investors
on Wednesday (November 20) to yield U.82 per cent — U basis points
below that for the last comparable issue, an offering made on
November 8. (The earlier issue, however, carried a 5-year, no-call
provision, whereas the issue this week had. no such restriction.)
The next day, November 21, another Aa-rated utility issue was
offered to the public to yield i±.65 per cent — 17 basis points
below the yield for the previous comparable offering.

Stock market credit - Customer credit in the stock market
(excluding that extended on U. S. Government securities) declined
substantially during October, reaching a level of $3,61*3 million at
the end of the month. This is the smallest amount outstanding since
February 1955® The decline of $239 million occurred largely in net
debit balances, Borrowing by member firms of the NYSE maintaining
margin accounts (except borrowings on U. S. Government securities)
declined sharply during October, principally in borrowing on customer
collateral. Customers' net free credit balances increased, totaling
#879 million at the end of the month. These and other data on stock
market credit for October and September are shown in the following
table.

Stock prices - The Standard and Poor's index of 500 common
stock increased slightly last week, closing at W o 3 7 on November 15.
Daily figures for the first three days of this week indicate a decline
on balance in prices with the index reaching a level of 39.92 on
Wednesday.
.
Institutional investors - Over the first nine months of
this year, the combined growth in savings at three major savings
institutions was six per cent smaller than during the corresponding

period of 1956. This growth — -measured by the net increases in life
insurance company assets, savings capital at savings %nd loan associations, and deposits at mutual savings banks — amounted to $8,314
million this year, as compared to $8,838 million a year earlier.
Savings lagged behind 1956 rates at each of the institutions, with
mutual savings banks showing the largest percentage decline. (In
contrast, time and savings deposits at commercial banks increased much
more rapidly this year than in the first nine months of last year.)
The increase in life insurance company assets during the
first nine months of 1957 amounted to $3,968 million, about li per
cent less than a year earlier. Net liquidation of U. S. Government
securities was nearly two-thirds less than in the first nine months
of 1956. The increase in life insurance company holdings of mortgages has been smaller in each month this year than in the corresponding period last year — with the increase over the nine months
being 35 per cent smaller. At the beginning of 1957, business
security holdings increased less rapidly than in 1956. Sifice March,
however, the increase has been more rapid and over the first nine
months net acquisition of business securities -was lii per cent greater
than last year.
The net increase in savings capital at sayings and loan
associations in the first nine months was $3,158 million, six per
cent smaller than a year earlier. Funds invested in mortgages
were slightly smaller than a year ago, while holdings of U. S.
Government securities increased, about 15 per cent more from January
through September than a year ago.
The growth in deposits at mutual savings banks was $1,188,
about 11 per cent below last year. Net liquidation of U. S. Government securities was about half as large as in the first three quarters
of 1956. Net acquisition of mortgages was also half as large as in
1956, but net purchase of business securities was over three times
larger than last year.
Although the rate of growth in savings at these institutions for the full nine month period has lagged behind the corresponding period of 1956, in September savings inflow was larger than
in September a year ago by a margin of about 15 per cent. March
and June are the only other months this year when the combined growth
was larger than in corresponding periods of last year, and the
increase was about U per cent greater, in each of these months.
The increase over last year's rate occurred it all the institutions,




but was particularly large at mutual savings banks and savings and loan
associations. The investment pattern of the respective institutions
showed little deviation in September from that of other recent months.
More detailed information concerning the recent capital market
developments is presented in the attached exhibits.
