Stock p r i c e s . Common stock p r i c e s , as measured tjy Standard
and P o o r ' s composite index of 500 s t o c k s , continued t o r i s e l a s t week,
reaching a new a l l - t i m e high p f 68.06 on August 11. The i n c r e a s e ,
however, was much smaller than i n the two preceding weeks. Trading

previous week.
I n s t i t u t i o n a l i n v e s t o r s . Total savings inflow during June
a t t h r e e major f i n a n c i a l i n s t i t u t i o n s ^ - l i f e insurance companies,
savings and loan a s s o c i a t i o n s and mutual savings banks—amounted t o
$2.0 b i l l i o n , or 7 p e r cent more than a y e a r e a r l i e r . The increased
growth a t savings and loan a s s o c i a t i o n s and mutual savings banks more
than o f f s e t a smaller growth in l i f e insurance company a s s e t s . On a
seasonally a d j u s t e d b a s i s inflow i n June was about 5 per cent l e s s
than t h e average f o r t h e f i r s t f i v e months of the y e a r .
For the f i r s t s i x months of t h i s y e a r , combined growth a t
these t h r e e i n s t i t u t i o n s t o t a l e d §8.6 b i l l i o n , o n e - f i f t h more than i n
t h e comparable months of I960. A l l t h r e e i n s t i t u t i o n s experienced
g r e a t e r growth t h i s y e a r than l a s t year—the g r e a t e s t increase i n
savings occurred a t mutual savings banks where d e p o s i t s grew by more
than twice a s much a s l a s t y e a r ; savings shares a t savings and loan
a s s o c i a t i o n s increased by more than o n e - t h i r d more than l a s t y e a r , and
the increase in l i f e insurance company a s s e t s was about o n e - f i f t h
l a r g e r than during the comparable p e r i o d of i960. (The i n c r e a s e in
time deposits a t commercial banks was b e t t e r than 2-1/2 times l a r g e r
t h i s y e a r than l a s t . )
While savings inflow a t these i n s t i t u t i o n s i n t h e second
q u a r t e r was one-eighth l a r g e r than a y e a r e a r l i e r , a f t e r adjustment
f o r seasonal f a c t o r s i t was moderately smaller (about 7 per cent) than
in the two preceding q u a r t e r s and about the same as i n the t h i r d q u a r t e r
of i960. Inflow ( s e a s o n a l l y a d j u s t e d ) in t h e second q u a r t e r was s m i l e r
than i n the f i r s t q u a r t e r of the year a t a l l t h r e e types of i n s t i t u t i o n s ,
but most of t h e d e c l i n e was in the growth i n l i f e insurance company
assets.
Although the net i n c r e a s e i n l i f e insurance company a s s e t s
of $3«1 b i l l i o n i n the f i r s t h a l f was up o n e - f i f t h from a year e a r l i e r ,
a l l of t h i s i n c r e a s e took p l a c e i n the f i r s t q u a r t e r . Net a c q u i s i t i o n
of mortgages, amounting t o $ 1 . 1 b i l l i o n , were down o n e - f i f t h from l a s t
y e a r . In c o n t r a s t , the l i q u i d a t i o n of U. S. Government s e c u r i t i e s
was only one-seventh as l a r g e . Net a c q u i s i t i o n of business s e c u r i t i e s
and S t a t e and l o c a l government bonds amounting to $1.0 b i l l i o n and
SO.2 b i l l i o n , r e s p e c t i v e l y , were up 6 per cent and lit p e r cent,
r e s p e c t i v e l y , from l a s t y e a r . Foreign corporate bond a c q u i s i t i o n s
(included in o t h e r a s s e t s ) of $0.3 b i l l i o n were over twice as l a r g e a s
a year e a r l i e r .




-3The growth in share c a p i t a l a t savings and loan a s s o c i a t i o n s
amounted to
b i l l i o n during t h e f i r s t half of 1961, or o n e - t h i r d
more than l a s t y e a r . The increase i n share c a p i t a l has been g r e a t e r zi n each month t h i s y e a r than in the corresponding month of I960. b e t
repayments of borrowings (mainly from the Federal home Loan Banks)
amounting to $0.2 b i l l i o n , were l e s s than one-half as l a r g e as l a s t
y e a r due t o both l a r g e r borrowings in the second q u a r t e r of t h i s y e a r
and smaller repayments i n the f i r s t q u a r t e r , but the increase i n holdings of cash and U. S. Government s e c u r i t i e s was t h r e e times l a r g e r
t h i s year than l a s t . Net a c q u i s i t i o n of mortgages t o t a l e d $3*9 b i l l i o n
during t h e f i r s t half of t h i s y e a r , or o n e - f i f t h more than a year ago,
as mortgage extensions i n May and June s e t successive records.
Deposits a t mutual savings banks i n the f i r s t half increased
$1.0 b i l l i o n or b e t t e r than twice the i n c r e a s e l a s t y e a r , with every
month showing an i n c r e a s e over the comparable month of i960. Net
a c q u i s i t i o n s of mortgages of £L.l b i l l i o n were o n e - f i f t h l a r g e r than
l a s t y e a r while holdings of U. S. Government s e c u r i t i e s increased-by
about *0.1 b i l l i o n t h i s y e a r in c o n t r a s t with l i q u i d a t i o n of over $0.3
b i l l i o n l a s t y e a r . Acquisitions of business s e c u r i t i e s ($66 million)
were s l i g h t l y l e s s than i n t h e f i r s t h a l f of i960, r e f l e c t i n g smaller
