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

Although yields on seasoned corporate bonds were unchanged Last
week, yields on new issues declined. New issue reception, however, was
notably poor. The only fresh offerings to sell out were convertible bonds;
all straight-debt issues were reported to be moving very slowly.
Yields on seasoned municipals declined last week, but in this
market also new issues met with a very lukewarm reception. By week's end,
only 55 per cent of the week's offerings had been sold.

Note: For retrospective data on aggregate foreign corporate and government security
offerings in the United States see Exhibits I and J. There is nosimple 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 talaen 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.
