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 were essentially unchanged last week. The new issue yield series declined sharply, but only
because it consisted of one issue with a popular corporate name — Bendix -and 10-year call protection. All of last week's offerings were enthusiastically received by investors; none remained in syndicate by the end of the
week.
Yields on municipals were also steady last week, but new issues
were not very well received. Only about 53 per cent had been sold by the end
of the week. Some dealers 1 inventories were reduced, however, when they released from syndicate $44 million of unsold California water bonds, initially
offered in mid-November. In free market trading, the yields on these bonds
advanced an average of 15 basis points. Two would-be issuers last wejek received no bids for their offerings.

higher for mortgages than bonds. Generally, bonds pay interest semi-annually;
mortgages, monthly. Mortgage yields, if computed as equivalent to a semi-annual
interest investment, would be slightly higher than given in the table.
I
Based on FHA-field-office opinions about average bid prices in the private secondary
market for new-home mortgages for immediate delivery. Separate data available for
25-year and—beginning July 1961—30-year mortgages with minimum downpaymertts,
weighted by probable volume of transactions. Yields computed by FHA, assuming prepayment period of 12 years for 25-year mortgages and 15 years for 30-year Mortgagee.
Over the period for which they can be compared, the movement of the two mortgage
yield series has been similar. Dashed lines indicate periods of adjustment^ to
changes in contractual interest rates.
j
Based on FHA-field-office opinion on typical interest rates (rounded) on conventional
first mortgages prevailing in the market areas of insuring office cities. (Beginning
with April 1960, rate relates only to new-home mortgages; prior to that date, rate
related to both new as well as existing-home mortgages. Dashed line indicates this
change in the series.
T
FHA mortgage yield data are for 25-year mortgages through June 1961; 30-year mortgages thereafter.

* New Series
1/ Compiled by Federal Home Loan Bank Board in cooperation with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Data are weighted averages based on probability sample survey of
characteristics of conventional first mortgages originated by major institutional
lender groups, (including mortgage companies) for purchase of single family homes.
Data exclude loans for refinancing, reconditioning, or modernization; construction
loans to home-builders; and--in this exhibit—permanent loans which are coupled with
construction loans to owner-builders. Data are still in a developmental stage and
may reflect seasonal influences which cannot yet be measured because the series go
back only to end of 1962. Related series on conventional mortgage rates only, based
on unweighted opinions of regional-office directors of the Federal Housing Administration, are available somewhat sooner than the results of FHLBB-FDIC survey, and
are included--in the case of new home mortgage rates—in Exhibit F. Parts I and II.
2/ Fees and charges—expressed as a percentage of the principal mortgage amount-include loan commissions, fees, discounts, and other charges which provide acded
income to the lender and are paid by the borrower. They exclude any closing costs
related solely to transfer of property ownership.

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 i
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.
