LAI'
O F R1C;

The vol ie of public security financing to obtain new capital
^ was fairly substantial last week, excluding the Treasury offering, and
is expected to be somewhat larger this week. During the week ending
April
four large State and local government bond issues amounting
to $133 million and bond issues of $15 million and $30 million of the
Copenhagen Telephone Company and the Commonwealth of Australia,
respectively, were sold; no large domestic corporate issues were offered.
In addition, the Treasury sold $300 million of 4-1/8 per cent, 31-year
bonds through competitive bidding at an interest cost of 4.093 per cent.
This week, ending April 19, four corporate issues totaling $125 million
are scheduled for offering, five State and local bond issues with par
value of $87 million are on the calendar, and the Federal Land Banks
are expected to offer $64 million of 25-year bonds for new capital. In
addition, the Utah Power and Light Company has scheduled the sale of a
$15 million bond issue to refund outstanding securities.
Bond yields. Yields on seasoned, long-term bonds either
increased slightly or were stable last week. U. S. Government bond
yields rose a basis point to 3.96 per cent, their highest level since
early last September, while yields on Aaa-rated State and local
government bonds also edged up a basis point to 2.95 per cent. Yields
on corporate bonds and on Baa-rated municipals were stable.
The average yield on new corporate bonds, adjusted to an Aaa
basis, was 4.18 per cent last week, little changed from most other
recent weeks.
Short- and intermediate-term interest rates. Changes in yields
on Treasury bills and on 3-5 year U. S. Government obligations were
mixed but minor last week. Rates on 3-month bills dropped a basis point,
but those on 6-month bills were stable; yields on intermediate-term
Treasury obligations rose a basis point to 3.54 per cent, the highest
level since last September. Several major finance companies lowered the
advertised rate on their directly-placed paper with 90-179 day maturity
by one-eighth of a percentage point to 3-1/8 per cent last week; as a
result the average rate on such paper declined six basis points to
3.19 per cent. The average Federal funds rate increased 37 basis
points to 3.00 per cent, matching the high for the year. Other rates
were unchanged.
Stock prices. Common stock prices advanced moderately
further last week in very active trading. Prices, as measured by
Standard and Poor's composite index of 500 stocks, rose almost one
per cent to close at 68.77 on April 11. At this level, average prices
were about five per cent below their December 1961 high. Trading
volume averaged 5.5 million shares a day, 0.8 million shares more than the
previous week, and the highest weekly average since the near record
trading of late last May.

Neither mortgage nor bond yields take into account servicing posts which are much higher for
mortgages than bonds. Generally, bonds pay interest semi-annually; mortgages, monthly. Mortgage
yields, if computed as equivalent to a semiannual interest investment, would be slightly higher
than given in the table.
2/ Based on FHA field-office opinions about average bid prices in the private secondary market for
new-home mortgages for inmediate delivery. Since late 1955, data relate only to 25-year mortgages
with down payments of 10 per cent or more, weighted by probable volume of transactions. Yields
computed by FRB, assuming 25-year mortgages are paid off in 12 years. Dashed lines indicate
periods of adjustment to changes in the contractual interest rate.

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 this Exhibit and that shown in Exhibits I
and J because the latter includes privately placed securities in the period in
which funds are actually takendown 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 takedowns. Full or partial
takedowns may take place both prior and subsequent to the date a placement
for
is FRASER
reported.
