2. Comprises mobile home loans and all other installment loans not included in automobile or revolving credit, such as loans for education, boats, trailers, or vacations. These loans may be secured or unsecured.

month.
4. Outstanding balances of pools upon which securities have been issued; these balances are no longer earned on the balance sheets of the loan originators.
5. Includes estimates for holders that do not separately report consumer credit holding by type,

r = revised, p = preliminary.
