Corporate and municipal bond markets. The volume of public
_j£jCJirit3L-financing by corporations this week will be sharply larger
than last week's relatively small total, with a $35 million bond
offering of General Telephone Company of California, the largest
issue scheduled. The supply of State and local government bonds
coming to market will also be up but only slightly from last week's
substantial volume. The largest municipal issue on the calendar
this week is a $50 million bond issue of the Pennsylvania General
State Authority.

1/ Federal Reserve estimates based on published reports of issues sold
and scheduled for offering; corporate rights offerings are included
as of the date subscription rights expire.
Last week price restrictions were terminated on a corporate
bond issue which had met only a lukewarm retail reception since it was
offered early in the month. The subsequent price decline raised the
yield 5 basis points above the original offering yield. *With no major
new issue reaching the market last week, this action left only two
large issues with almost $40 million in bonds remaining under syndicate
price restriction.
In the municipal market, the $100 million State of California
issue was nearly all distributed by weekend, but only about one-half of
the remainder of last week's large supply was sold. Thus, with dealers'
advertised inventories of unsold securities rising to around $750 million,
and the calendar continuing large over the near-term, yields on seasoned
municipal bonds rose. On Aaa-rated issues the advance amounted to 5
basis points.

Private Housing Starts and Permits. Seasonally adjusted
housing starts declined 7 per cent in January. This was associated
with an upwanr revision of 4 per cent in the improved December rate,
however, and the annual rate in January--!,487 thousand, including
farm--continued above the recent low in August of last year.
On a three-month moving average, the annual rate of starts
in the November-January period was 1,513 thousand--down moderately from
the fourth quarter average in 1964 but somewhat above the low reached
in the third quarter of that year.
Government-underwritten starts averaged 20 per cent of total
starts in January, compared with 16 per cent a year earlier. This
marked the fourth month in the past five that the government-underwritten
share was greater than a year earlier.
Seasonally adjusted residential building permits in January
turned up by more than a tenth in January to nearly the year-earlier
rate. Multifamily permits, which had declined sharply further in
December, accounted for a large part of the January rise, but still remained substantially under the end-of-1963 peak.

Stock market credit. Total customer credit in the stock
market fell $113 million further in January to $6.9 billion at the
month-end. Most of this reduction was attributable to a $93 million
decline in^. customers1 net debit balances on securities other than
those of the U.S. Government. Bank l^ans to others than brokers and
dealers for purchasing or carrying securities (except U.S. Governments)
dropped $20 million.
Money borrowed by member firms of the New York Stock Exchange
on customers' collateral fell $76 million further during.January.
Customers' free credit balances, on the other hand, rose $38 million.
More detailed information on developments in stock market credit in
recent months is shown in the table on the following page.
Stock prices. Closing at 86.21 on February 19, common stock
prices, as measured by Standard and Poor's composite index of 500 stocks,
changed little on balance last week. Trading volume averaged 5.6
million shares a day, down 0.3 million shares from the average for the
previous week.
More detailed information concerning recent capital market
developments is presented in the attached exhibits.

Note: With the exception of bank loan data, figures are reported to the New York Stock
Exchange by member firms carrying margin accounts. Bank loans to others than brokers and
dealers for purchasing and carrying securities are for weekly reporting member banks. Net ;
debit balances and customer free credit balances are as of the end of the month; bank loans
and money borrowed are reported for the last Wednesday of the month. Numbers in parenthesis!
denote month of year. All figures exclude credits on, or to carry, U.S. Govt, securities.
1/ November 1963 data on customers' net debit balances do not include accounts carried by
a large former member firm in liquidation; most of these accounts have been transferred to
other member firms and are reported in their debit figures from the month received (some in
December, more in January 1964). Debit balance totals for the period from October 1963
through January 1964, therefore, are not completely comparable.

tfote: For retrospective data on aggregate foreign corporate and government security
offerings in the United States see Exhibits I and J. There is no simple relationship
between the data shown in this Exhibit and that shown in Exhibits I and J because the
latter includes privately placed securities in the period in which funds are actually
takendown 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 takedowns. Full or partial takedowns may take place both prior arid
subsequent to the data a placement is reported. ^--Included in table for first time.:
