NOTE.—Beginning 1959 all quarterly data are rounded to nearest $50 million.
Annual total is the sum of unadjusted expenditures; it does not necessarily
coincide with tbe average of seasonally adjusted figures.
These figures do not agree with the totals Included in the gross national product
estimates of tbe Department of Commerce, principally because tbe latter cover
agricultural investment and also certain equipment and construction outlays
charged to current expense.

U.S. BALANCE OF PAYMENTS
Despite a small decline in exports of goods and services and a slight rise in imports in the first quarter of 1962, the
over-all deficit, as measured by U.S. gold sales and increases in foreign dollar assets, fell sharply to $1.9 billion
(seasonally adjusted annual rate).

The index of prices received by farmers declined between May 1 5 and June 1 5 as a result of a sharp decline in crop
prices. Prices paid declined slightly and the parity ratio fell 1 point to 78, the same as the level a year earlier.
