CAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE UNITED STATES

APR 2 4 1963
FEDERAL
OF RICHMOND

ing Review of Sources and Uses of Funds of
Financial Intermediaries in
February)

Public security financing to obtain new capital was in
substantial volume last week and is expected to be in even larger
volume this week. During the week ending April 19, two large
corporate issues totaling $80 million, five State and local government
bond issues amounting to $87 million and $64 million in long-term
bonds of the Federal Land Banks were offered to obtain new capital.
This week, ending April 26, four corporate issues amounting to $120
million entirely for new capital purposes are anticipated, four State
and local issues with par value of $148 million are on the calendar
and the Kingdom of Norway is expected to offer $25 million in bonds.
In addition the Tampa Electric Company has scheduled a $48 million
bond issue of which $25 million is to refund outstanding securities.
Bond yields. Yields on seasoned, long-term bonds either
rose or were stable last week- Yields on Aaa-rated corporate bonds
edged up a basis point to 4,21 per cent, while Aaa-rated State and
local government bond yields rose four basis points to 2.99 per cent,
U« S. Government bond yields advanced three basis points to 3.99
per cent, their highest level since mid-August. Yields on both Baarated corporate and municipal bonds were stable.
The average yield on new corporate bonds, adjusted to an Aaa
basis, was 4=28 per cent last week, ten basis points above the average
for the previous week.
Short- and intermediate-term interest rates. Rates on
3-month Treasury bills were stable last week, while those on 6-month
bills increased two basis points to match their high for the year;
yields on 3-5 year U. S. Government obligations rose five basis
points to 3.59 per cent, their highest level since mid-September,
The average rate of interest on directly-placed finance company paper
dropped six basis points to 3=13.per cent, matching the low for the
year, reflecting the full effect of the rate change the previous week.
The average effective Federal funds rate fell 15 basis points to
2.85 per cent. Other rates were unchanged.
Housing starts. Seasonally adjusted private housing starts
(including farm) rose 17 per cent in March. The rise, which followed
a moderate upturn in February, was to an annual rate of 1,494
thousand--the highest since November of last year and 4 per cent
above the year earlier level.
Reflecting the reduced rates earlier this year, the annual
rate of starts in the first quarter as a whole was 1,338 thousand.
This was 13 per cent below the advanced rate in the fourth quarter
FRASER
of 1962, although 4 per cent above a year earlier.

Digitized for


-2-

Government-underwritten starts accounted for no more than
18 per cent of total starts in March. This compared with 24 per cent
in March of 1962 and 25 per cent at this time in 1961.
Seasonally adjusted building permits in permit-issuing
areas edged higher in March 5 following a moderate downward revision
for February.
The annual rate of 1,240 thousand was about 6 per cent
below the recent high reached in December but 8 per cent above a
year earlier.
Stock market credit. Customers credit in the stock market
increased $37 million during March to a new record of $5.8 billion at
month-end. All of this increase was attributable to a $38 million
rise in bank loans to others than brokers and dealers for purchasing
and carrying securities (except U. S. Government securities) to a
peak of $1.4 billion at the end of the month. Customer debit balances
(except these secured by U. S= Government securities) edged off $1
million from their February high.
Money borrowed by member firms of the New York Stock Exchange
rose $133 million in March, the fourth consecutive month-to-month
increase, but customers' free credit balances fell $16 billion. More
detailed information on stock market credit in February and March is
shown in the following table.

Revised.
Stock prices. Common stock prices advanced moderately further
in very active trading last week. Prices, as measured by Standard and
Poor's composite index of 500 stocks, rose almost one per cent on balance
to close at. 69.23 on April 22. This was the highest level since the
beginning of April 1962 and brought prices to within five per cent of
the December 1961 high.

Institutional investors. The net. inflow of funds during
February at three major types of financial intermediaries--life insurance
companies, savings and loan associations and mutual savings banks-totaled $1.6 billion, a record for the month and one-third more than a
year earlier. Inflows at all three types of institutions were larger
this February than last, with savings capital at savings and loan
associations increasing most sharply. (Time and savings deposits at
commercial banks rose $1.5 billion in February, about 6 per cent less
than the very large increase in February 1962.)
Assets of life insurance companies increased $0,5 billion in
February, 11 per cent more than last year and a record for the month.
Net acquisitions of business securities totaled $0.2 billion,
about the same as a year earlier, with increases in holdings of both
long-term bonds and stocks ($159 million) and short-term commercial
and finance company paper ($46 million) little difference than in
February 1962. The increase in mortgage holdings, however, at $145
million, was over one-fourth larger than a year earlier. Cash and
U. S. Government holdings fell $0.1 billion, whereas they rose somewhat
in February last year. Acquisitions of foreign government securities
(included in other assets) were unusually large this February, totaling
$102 million, reflecting primarily takedowns of part of a large issue
of Quebec Hydro-Electric Authority bonds.
Savings capital at savings and loan associations rose. $0.9
billion in February, a record for that month and 53 per cent greater
than a year earlier when, however, inflows at these associations
probably were still affected somewhat by the increase in interest rates
on time and savings deposits put into effect by many commercial banks
at the start of the year. Mortgage acquisitions totaled $0.7 billion,
also a record for the month and 15 per cent larger than in February 1962.
Holdings of cash and U. S. Government securities rose $0.3 billion, twofifths more than last year, while these associations reduced their
borrowings (primarily from the Federal Home Loan Banks) by $0.2
billion, over twice as much as in February 1962.
Deposits at mutual savings banks rose $0.2 billion in February,
30 per cent more than last year and a February record. Mortgage holdings
continued to increase sharply in February, expanding $0.3 billion, a
record for the month and seven-tenths greater than a year earlier.
Cash holdings rose slightly more than last year, but acquisition of
U. S. Government securities (primarily Treasury bills) were less than
one-half as large.
More detailed information concerning recent capital market
developments is presented in the attached exhibits.

T 7 Total starts are Census estimates, whioh are not striotly comparable with old nonfarm aeries
developed by BLS. 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 sons cases but normally after the foundations have been conpleted. Capehart military
housing units are excluded. Conventional starts are derived as a residual, although total and FHA
and VA starts are not strictly comparable in concept or timing; they include both units financed
by conventional mortgages and units without mortgages.
