Gj&B^TAL MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
; ; D — T H f i UNITED STATES
i ^\(Inciudii%^Reyi«b of Capital Markets in November)
\ Corporate and municipal bond markets; Corporations are expected to offer $100 million in new securities this week, less than
last week's, offerings though still well above those in other recent
weeks. In contrast, the $344 million volume of State and local
government bonds on the calendar for this week is about twice as
large as both last week's supply and the weekly average over the
past year. The largest municipal offering scheduled for this week
is a $104 million package of Public Housing Authority bonds.

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

Despite the uncertainty present in the bond markets since the
discount rate increases, underwriters bid aggressively for last week's
long-awaited investment-grade corporate bonds. Consequently, the average
yield on these three large issues was only one basis point above that
for late October when the last eligible issues were offered. The
rescinding of a prime rate increase by a large Eastern bank triggered
a guide sellout for these issues.
In the municipal market last week, dealers' advertised inventories of unsold securities aere reduced by about $30 million with
last week's moderate volume of new issues reported as half sold. Yield
increases on seasoned bonds recorded by most yield series for the previous
week were largely erased, with Moody's Aaa series going back to its low
for the year.

Stock prices. Common stock prices declined sharply early last
w#ek but recovered part of these losses later in the week. Closing
at 84.35 on December 4, prices as measured by Standard and Poor's
composite index of 500 stocks, were one per cent lower than a week
earlier. Trading volume averaged 4.7 million shares a day, the same as
in the previous week.
Capital markets in November. Corporate security financing
to obtain new capital is estimated to have amounted to $650 million in
November, one-fifth less than a year earlier. Practically all of this
financing consisted of private placements and public offerings were
composed of small issues.
With no overhang of unsold issues in dealers1 hands and a
light calendar of public offerings in prospect for the rest of the
year. The first three weeks of the month were marked by falling yields and
active trading in recently distributed issues. The rally ended
abruptly on November 23, when the sterling crisis forced an increase
in the British Bank rate to 7 per cent and this was followed by an
increase in the discount rate to 4 per cent.
Bond sales for new capital by State and local governments
during November totaled $550 million, one-fourth less than in the comparable 1963 month. Underwriters were able to distribute most new
issues at retail with little difficulty, and dealers' advertised inventories of unsold securities (about $600 million) at month-end were
at about the same level as a month earlier. Because of the favorable
demand situation through the first three weeks in November, most
municipal yield series had fallen 7-14 basis points from their October
peaks, and the response to the discount rate hikes offset approximately
only one-half of these earlier declines.




H. 14
Common stock prices had reached a new high prior to the
sterling crisis and thereafter dropped about two per cent from this high
during the last five trading days of the month. Prices, as measured by
Standard and Poor's composite index of 500 stocks, closed on November 30,
at 84.42,about one-half of a per cent below the end of October level.
Trading volume averaged 4.9 million shares a day during the month, 0.3
million shares a day less than a year earlier.
Estimated security financing, in December. Security financing
by corporations is expected to rise seasonally in December, but an
anticipated month-to-month gain in State and local government bond
financing is contra-seasonal. (See Exhibit H.)
Corporate security financing to obtain new capital in December
is expected to total $1,150 million, up $400 million from the low
November total but about one-fifth less than the record for this month
set last year. About three-fourths of volume will consist of the usual
large takedown of private placements at tha year-end. Large issues
scheduled for public offering amount to $230 million.
S,tate and local government bond sales are estimated at $700
million in December, a record for the month and almost seven-tenths
larger than a year - earlier. Largs issues currently on the calendar
for offering during the month' amount to $418 million.

developments is presented in. thy- attached exhibits.
