\ -l" r ,y bv '-Corpor^jes and municipal bond markets. The volume of new corporate
\securjjbiee-^5cpected to be offered this week will approximate the average volume ,
rotr<such issues over the past year. Dominating the new issues is a $150 million
negotiated bond offering by Detroit Edison Company. State and local government
offerings expected this week will be substantially below average with no issues
of outstanding 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 corporate bonds declined last week - - t h e first
weekly decline since early in August. Investor response accorded the sole
straight-debt issue last week was good, with about four-fifths of the issue
sold-out the close on Friday. Underwriters reported some success last week
in reducing the volume of unsold bonds in'syndicate.
Municipal bond yields were mixed last week but, on balance, declined
slightly. The huge'volume of new issues that entered the market last week was
well received by investors and about 90 per cent were spoken for by week-end.
Private housing starts and permits. Seasonally adjusted private
housing starts, which had risen sharply in July from a reduced May-June rate,
dipped only 2 per cent in August to an annual rate of 1,508 thousand. Single
family starts dropped after an initial fillip in July -- by 5 per cent -- to
one of the lowest rates this year and were also below a year earlier. However,
multifamily starts advanced 3 per cent further and were not far from the recent
peak of last April.

Regionally, there was a drop of one-fifth in the Northeast,
which had played a major part in the rise in July, induced in part by a
long-anticipated upward adjustment in usury-ceiling rates in New York
and New Jersey. And starts in the North Central states also turned down
in August. But those in the West -- the only region which had not shared
in the July advance. -- turned upward by a fifth to a new high for the year,
and starts in the South also rose.
Government-underwritten shares accounted for 19 per cent of total
starts in August. This compared with 18 per cent a year earlier and 17 per
cent in 1966 and other recent years.
Seasonally adjusted building permits — revised upward by 4 per
cent for July -- dipped 3 per cent in August. Although all of the decline
was concentrated in permits for miltifamily structures, altogether, the
rate of total permits in August was relatively low - - a t 1,246 thousand
more than a tenth below the recent peak reached last March.
Stock prices. Common stock prices advanced last week in active
trading. Standard and Poor's composite index of 500 stocks closed on Friday
at 101,66 — a week-to-week gain of 0.80 points. Trading volume averaged
14.8 million shares per day, 2 million shares above the week earlier trading
pace.

ments is presented in.the attached exhibits.

1/ Total starts are Census estimates including farm for both permit-issuing and
non-issuing areas. A dwelling unit is started when excavation begins; all units
in an apartment structure are considered started at that time. FHA and VA
starts are units started under commitments by these agencies to insure or guarantee the mortgages. As reported by FHA and VA, a unit is started when a field
office receives the first compliance inspection report, which is made before
footings are poured in some cases but normally after the foundations have been
completed. Capehart military housing units are excluded. Other starts are
derived as a residual, although total and FHA and VA starts are not strictly
comparable in concept or timing; other starts include both units financed by conventional mortgages and units without mortgages.
2/ Building permits before January 1963 are Census estimates for about 10,000 areas
identified as having a local building permit system in 1959. Estimates beginning
January 1963, are for approximately 12,000, or all known, permit-issuing places.
Unlike starts, seasonally adjusted building permits reflect direct adjustment
for differences in the number of working days per month, as well as other diff^
erences in timing and coverage.

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.
