CAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
(Including Monthly Review of Sources and Uses

The volume of l a r g e public s e c u r i t y f i n a n c i n g f o r new
c a p i t a l t h i s week i s expected to be somewhat l a r g e r , p a r t i c u l a r l y
f o r corporate s e c u r i t i e s , than i n recent weeks. During the week
ending September 25, one l a r g e corporate i s s u e f o r $^5 m i l l i o n was
o f f e r e d and two State and l o c a l government i s s u e s with aggregate
proceeds of $56 m i l l i o n were s o l d . Another S t a t e and l o c a l government i s s u e — Port of New York A u t h o r i t y ' s $25 m i l l i o n revenue bond
i s s u e — had been o r i g i n a l l y scheduled f o r s a l e l a s t week. The
Authority r e j e c t e d the only bid o f f e r e d and postponed i n d e f i n i t e l y
the s a l e of t h e i s s u e l a r g e l y because of a l e g a l a c t i o n taken a g a i n s t

Bond y i e l d s - Changes i n y i e l d s on outstanding bonds were
l a s t week. Yields on corporate bonds and high-grade S t a t e and
government bonds rose f u r t h e r ; those on lower grade S t a t e and
government bonds remained s t a b l e ; and those on U. S. Government
declined somewhat.

Mortgage and bond y i e l d s - Discounts reported by Federal
Housing Administration f i e l d o f f i c e s on 5 1/1; per cent FHA-insured
new-home mortgages a v a i l a b l e f o r immediate d e l i v e r y i n the secondary
market rose f u r t h e r i n August and the implied gross y i e l d increased
5 b a s i s p o i n t s t o 5,80 per c e n t . Since y i e l d s on new o f f e r i n g s of
high-grade corporate bonds declined somewhat i n August, the spread
between bond and mortgage y i e l d s increased to 106 b a s i s p o i n t s .
Last week, the Federal Housing Administration announced an
i n c r e a s e i n the a d m i n i s t r a t i v e c e i l i n g on c o n t r a c t u a l i n t e r e s t r a t e s
on FHA-insured mortgages on a l l one- t o f o u r - f a m i l y home programs
from 5 l / U p e r cent t o 5 3/h p e r cent e f f e c t i v e immediately.
October s e c u r i t y volume - New corporate s e c u r i t y o f f e r i n g s
during October a r e expected to t o t a l $800 m i l l i o n , nearly one-fourth
l a r g e r than in September, but f s l i g h t l y smaller than i n October 1958.
Large p u b l i c l y - o f f e r e d i s s u e s a r e expected t o t o t a l over $300 m i l l i o n .
State and l o c a l government bond s a l e s i n October a r e
c u r r e n t l y estimated a t $600 m i l l i o n . This volume would be one-seventh
more than the volume t h i s month and o n e - t h i r d more than i n October
l a s t year.

Stock p r i c e s - Stock p r i c e s f l u c t u a t e d widely l a s t week, but
on balance increased f o r the f i r s t time in f o u r weeks. Standard and
P o o r ' s index of 500 common stocks closed a t 56.73 on September 25, one
p e r cent higher than a week e a r l i e r . Trading a c t i v i t y increased sharply,
averaging 3-2 i.J.llion shares a day. This i s the l a r g e s t volume since
e a r l y July.
I n s t i t u t i o n a l i n v e s t o r s - In J u l y , savings i n f l o w a t l i f e i n s u r ance companies and savings and loan a s s o c i a t i o n s was l a r g e r than a year
e a r l i e r , while deposits a t mutual s avings banks declined i n c o n t r a s t t o
a small increase l a s t y e a r . This i s similar t o the p a t t e r n of savings
inflow a t t h e s e i n s t i t u t i o n s in most recent months. For t h e f i r s t seven
months of 1959 combined, l i f e insurance company a s s e t s increased oneseventh more rapidly than i n t h e corresponding period of 1958, share
c a p i t a l a t savings and l o a n a s s o c i a t i o n s o n e - s i x t h more r a p i d l y ; howe v e r , the growth in d ep o s i t s a t mutual savings banks has been t w o - f i f t h s
smaller.
The increase i n l i f e insurance company a s s e t s i n July amounted
to $7 28 m i l l i o n , more than o n e - f o u r t h g r e a t e r than i n July 1958. The
s u b s t a n t i a l l y increased inflow of savings t h i s July was r e f l e c t e d i n
l a r g e r a c q u i s i t i o n s of a l l types of investments, except U. S. Government
bonds. Net a c q u i s i t i o n of Federal o b l i g a t i o n s was s l i g h t i n c o n t r a s t
to a l a r g e increase l a s t July. The increase i n mortgage holdings was
more than twice as l a r g e as a year e a r l i e r , while t h e i n c r e a s e i n b u s i ness s e c u r i t y p o r t f o l i o s was n e a r l y o n e - f i f t h l a r g e r . Net a c q u i s i t i o n s
of S t a t e and l o c a l government bonds continued to be l a r g e in July t o t a l ing n e a r l y $100 m i l l i o n , nearly f o u r times more than a year e a r l i e r .
Savings c a p i t a l a t savings and loan a s s o c i a t i o n s increased
$190 m i l l i o n , t h r e e times a s much a s in July 1958. The increase in
FHLB advances was smaller than i n past r e c e n t months; however, t h e s e
a s s o c i a t i o n s often repay borrowing i n J u l y . The volume of mortgage
a c q u i s i t i o n s continued t o be much l a r g e r than a year e a r l i e r with t h e
July i n c r e a s e being nearly one-half l a r g e r than l a s t y e a r . Net
a c q u i s i t i o n s of U. S. Government s e c u r i t i e s increased v e i y s u b s t a n t i a l l y
compared with a moderate i n c r e a s e in July 1958.
Total deposits a t mutual savings banks declined $54 m i l l i o n
during July i n c o n t r a s t t o a deposit gain of $88 million a y e a r e a r l i e r .
(Savings inflow to these banks i s seasonally small i n J u l y . ) Business
s e c u r i t y p o r t f o l i o s declined f u r t h e r i n J u l y ; in July 1958 they had
increased somewhat, holdings of mortgages i n c r e a s e d , but s l i g h t l y
l e s s zap i d l y than a year e a r l i e r .
