/CAPITAL MARKETS DEVELOPMENTS
AN THE UNITED STATES

Corpo^ate^and Municipal bond markets. The volume of new,
publicly-offered corporra and municipal securities expected this week is
significantly above the average weekly volume over the past year. After
last week's excellent receptions in the corporate market, several issuers
who had previously been indefinite about the timing of their offerings'
hastened to put themselves on the calendar for this week. Included among
such issuers is the Bendix Corporation whose $125 million offering will be
the week's largest, and the Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America whose
$50 million offering has already been postponed twice — once for technical
reasons, and a second time during the unsettled conditions following the
devaluation of the pound. The municipal volume will feature the $138.5
million offering by the Housing Assistance Administration. Supplementing
total long-term offerings will be the $15.0 million issue of the Komatsu
Manufacturing Company of Japan.

\J Federal Reserve estimates are based upon published reports of issues
sold and scheduled for offering; corporate rights offerings are
included as of date subscription rights expire.
Yields on new and seasoned corporate bonds advanced last w'eek,
in one case breaking a previous 100-year record. As indicated above, at
these new high levels, the reception of new issues was extremely good. All
but one of the week's major issues sold out rapidly; the one remaining in
syndicate is reportedly 85 per cent sold.

ratio (the proportion ot new issues sold during the week) climbed tc
86 per cent. Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, however, received no bids on
its $62.7 million indusirial revenue bond issue; it now plans a negotiated

Averages of offering yields on all new issues of
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 I and U. 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 are included
when reported, frequently with little or no information concerning timing of takedown. Full
or partial takedown may take place both prior and subsequent to the date a placement is
reported.
