frprpirate and municipal bond markets. The volume of new,
publicly offered corporate and municipal securities expected during this
holiday-shortened week will be considerably below the average weekly volume
over the past year. The especially small corporate volume consists mainly
of the $15 million Iowa Power & Light first mortgage bond issue. The
municipal volume features $78 million of New York State Highway bonds.

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 seasoned corporate bonds advanced slightly las week
and no new straight debt issues were offered. Since the release
December 21 of the unsold portion of the Florida Power and Light b onds,
no new issues have even been in syndicate.
Yields on municipal bonds were unchanged to slightly hig tier last
week, and the reduced volume of new issues was very well received, By the
end of the week, 94 per cent of the week's offerings had been sold
Private housing starts and permits. Seasonally adjusted housing
starts, which had moved ahead of earlier projections in recent months, rose
5 per cent further in November, to an annual rate of 1,556 thousand. The
rate, which is significantly above even the most optimistic trade expectations for 1968, reflected mainly a considerably less than seasonal drop in




H.14
starts from October to November in the South. In that region, the starts
rate advanced 23 per cent after little change in October and reached the
highest level in more than three years. All other regions showed declines
ranging to as much as 15 per cent (Northeast). While both single and
multi-family units shared in the increase in November, the advance continued to be most marked for multi-family units, which reached a four-year
high.
Government-underwritten starts accounted for 17 per cent of
total starts in November. This compared with 18 per cent, in November of
other recent years.
- Unlike starts, seasonally adjusted building permits dropped
moderately in November, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,162
thousand. Almost all of the decline was concentrated in single-family
units, however. Regionally — as in the case of starts -- only the South
showed a rise in the rate of permits — 5 per cent.
Stock market credit. During November, the growth in stock market
credit slowed considerably. Total.customer credit advanced $110 million
to $9,644 million. Of the total increase, $91 million occurred in customers1
net debit balances, which rose to $7,202, and $19 million occurred in bank
loans to non-brokers, which advanced to $2,442 million. Customers' net
free credit balances, meanwhile, declined by $13 million.
. Stock prices. Stock prices showed a strong advance last week
in extremely heavy trading. During the holiday-shortened week, Standard
and Poor's index of 500 stocks rose 1.27 to close Friday at 96.47. Trading
volume averaged 12.3 million shares a day, with the second most active day
in NYSE history -- 15.0 million shares -- occurring on Friday.

ments is presented in the attached exhibits.

1/ Total starts are Census estimates including farm for both permit-issuing and
non-issuing areas. A dwelling unit is started when excavation begins; all units
in an. apartment structure are considered started at that time. FHA and jVA
starts are units started under commitments by these agencies to insure or guarantee the mortgages. As reported by FHA and VA, a unit? is started when j a field
office receives the first compliance inspection report, which is made before
footings are poured in some cases but normally after the foundations have been
completed. Capehart military housing units are excluded. Other startsJare
derived as a residual, although total and FHA and VA starts are not strjictly
comparable in concept or timing; other starts iclude both units financed by conventional mortgages and units without mortgages.
2/ Building permits before January 1963 are Census estimates for about 10,000 areas
identified as having a local building permit system in 1959. Estimates beginning
January 1963, are for approximately 12,000, or all known, permit-issuing places.
Unlike starts, seasonally adjusted building permits reflect direct adjustment
for differences in the number of working days per month, as well as otljer differences in timing and coverage.

Note; For retrospective data on aggregate foreign corporate and government s e c u r i t y f
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. Ful!
or partial takedown may take place both prior and subsequent to the date a placement is
reported.
