DECONTROLLED AFTER SIX MONTHS
CAPITAL MARKETS DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE UNITED STATES

Corporate and municipal bond markets. The volume of new,[publiclyoffered, corporate and muncipal securities expected this week is substantially
below the average weekly volume over the past year. The small corporate
volume will be dominated by a $100 million offering of debentures by the
Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania, while the municipal market will see
no new issues of notable size. Supplementing the week's modest calendar of
long-term offerings will be the Government of Jamaica's $15 million of
bonds.

Federal Reserve estimates are based upon published reports
issues sold and scheduled for offering; corporate rights offerings
are included as of date subscription rights expire.

Because of a shift in the characteristics of issues included in the
series, the composite corporate new issue yield series was essentially
unchanged last week; more reflective of new issue yield developments was the
8 basis point advance in the series of new issues without call protection.
The effects of the increase in the discount rate, however, are not reflected
in either series as all last week's issues were offered before the close of
business Thursday. Last week's large industrial offerings sold out immediately,
but the one new utility issue was only about one quarter sold by the end of
the week.
*
Moody's seasoned corporate yield series — essentially unchanged
last week — also did not reflect the effects of the increase in the discount
rate, being an average of the week's daily yields and noted for its lagging
characteristics. Dealers, however, report that yields on recently-offered
corporate bonds advanced significantly on Friday.

Yields on seasoned municipals, which were unchanged to slightly
higher, also failed to reflect developments late in the week. New issues,
however, were given only a lukewarm reception and by the end of the week
only about 65 per cent of the week's volume had been sold. Once again,
dealers 1 inventories advertised in the Blue List rose.
Private housing starts and permits. Private housing starts,
which were revised moderately downward for February, declined 3 per cent
in March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,476 thousand. Thisj
brought the average for the first quarter as. a whole to 1,487 thousand,
3 per cent above the advanced rate in the fourth quarter of last year {and
just above the average for the year 1965. While multifamily starts turned
upward in March, all of the further increase in the first quarter of tjhis
year was concentrated in single-family starts and in the North Central
states and the West.
Government-underwritten starts accounted for nearly 20 per cent
of total starts in March. Owing in part to an usually high s h a r e — 25 per
cent — in February, the Government-underwritten share for the quarter
a whole approached 22 per cent, compared with 20 per cent in the first
quarter of 1967.
Seasonally adjusted permits, at an annual rate of 1,362 thousand
in March, were little changed from the advanced February rate and were
47 per cent above a year earlier. Among individual regions, the rate of
permits rose further during March in the Northeast and West, but was dlown
in the North Central states and in the South.
Stock prices. Common stock prices rose Monday through Thursday
last week, but dropped sharply on Friday. As a result, on balance the
Standard & Poor's index of 500 stocks gained only 0.68 over the week, closing
Friday at 95.85. Trading volume remained extremely heavy, averaging 14 .9
million shares a day.

developments 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 iolude both units financed by conventional mortgages and units without mortgages.
2/ Building permits before January 1963 are Census estimates for about 1(0,000 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 ojther differences in timing and coverage.

Note: Averages of offering yields on^a/l new Issues of publicly offered corporate bonds rated Aaa,
Aa, and A by Moody's Investors Service (except serial and convertible issues, offerings of natural
gas pipeline and foreign companies, and bonds guaranteed by the Federal Government) weighted by
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 1 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 j are included
when reported, frequently with little or no information concerning timing of takedown.
y
Full or partial takedown may take place both prior and subsequent to the date a placement
is reported.
