Corporate and municipal bond markets. Long-term bond offerings
should total over $1 billion this week. Although the volume of new,
publicly-offered, corporate securities is expected to be well below the
average weekly volume over the past year, municipal offerings will be
almost twice their weekly average and other issuers will be in the market for
an additional $0.5 billion., The largest tax-exempt offering will be Beauregard
Parish's $105 million of industrial revenue bonds; the two outsized issues
offered by others will be $250 million of World Bank bonds and $250 million
of F.N.M.A. bonds. There will be no corporate offerings of notable size.

Federal Reserve estimates are based upon published reports of
issues sold and scheduled for offering; corporate rights offerings
are included as of date subscription rights expire.

Yields on new and seasoned corporate bonds were unchanged to
slightly higher last week — the small drop in the new issue series was
caused solely by a shift in the volume of issues carrying call protection.
New issues met with a very cool reception and, as a result, the volume of
bonds still in syndicate rose quite sharply.
Yields on municipals were unchanged to somewhat lower last week,
while new issues met with only a fair reception. By the end of the week
77 per cent had been sold. Underwriters succeeded in reducing somewhat their
extremely large volume of holdings -- but only at a considerable loss — by
releasing from syndicate several issues offered around the middle of August.
In free market trading, the yields on these issues advanced 25 to 30 basis
points.

Aa, and A by Moody's Investors Service (except serial and convertible issues, offerings of natural
gas pipeline and foreign companies, and bonds guaranteed by the Federal Government) weighted by
size of offering. Before averaging, new offerings are adjusted to a composite Aaa basis by
deducting from the actual reoffering yield the excess of the weekly average yield for seasoned
bonds of the appropriate industry-quality group over the composite average for seasoned Aaarated bonds (Moody's). Averages considered unrepresentative because of special characteristics
of the offerings included are denoted by an asterisk.

NOTE: For retrospective data on aggregate foreign corporate and government security
offerings in the United States see Exhibits I and J. There is no simple relationship
between the data shown in the Exhibit and that shown in Exhibits I and J because the
latter includes privately placed securities in the period in which funds are actually taken
down but only in the amount of takedown while the placements shown in this exhibit are
included when reported, frequently with little or no information concerning timing of
takedown. Full or partial takedown may take place both prior and subsequent to the date
a placement is reported.
