The -yolutne of public security financing to obtain new capital
w'^s ^fairly substantial last week* but will be very light this week.
Last week, ended March 13^/fiew capital financing consisted of four
large corporate issues>tfith gross proceeds of $121 million and two
State and local government bond issues with par value of $118 million.
This week, ending March 20, no large corporate issues are on the
calendar, but Tacoma, Washington, has scheduled a $50 million bond
issue; $32 million of the latter will be used for advance refunding
of bonds first callable in 1970 and the remainder will provide new
capital.
Bond yields. Changes in yields on seasoned, long-term bonds
were mixed but minor last week. Yields on high-grade bonds edged up
one basis point. Aaa-rated corporate bond yields averaged 4.37 per
cent, one basis point betow the January high; U. S. Government bond
yields were 4.17 per cent, the highest since May 1960; and yields on
Aaa-rated State and local government bonds were 3.13 per cent, the
highest since early last December, but six basis points below their
late November high. Yields on lower-grade municipal dropped two
basis points to 3.55 per cent, while Baa-rated corporate bonds were
stable.
Yields on new corporate bonds, adjusted to an Aaa basis,
averaged 4.39 per cent last week. This was five basis points above
the average for the week ending February 28--the last week any
eligible issues were offered--but 11 basis points under the early
January high.
Short- and intermediate-term interest rates. Rates on
3-month and 6-month Treasury bills fell two basis points each last week
to 3.54 and 3.72 per cent, respectively. Yields on 3-5 year U. S.
Government obligation, however, rose two basis points further to 4.12
per cent, the highest since June 1960. The average effective Federal
funds rate increased 30 basis points to 3.50 per cent. Other rates
were unchanged.
Mortgage yields and conventional mortgage terms. Secondary
market yields on 25-year 5-1/4 per cent FHA-insured mortgages in
February continued at the 5.44 per cent average which has prevailed in
most months since April of last year. The average was 6 basis points
below a year earlier.
Contract interest rates for conventional first mortgages oh
new homes in February also continued unchanged at an average of 5.80
per cent for new home loans and 5.85 per cent for existing home loans.
Loan amounts for conventional first mortgages changed very




;

little from December to January-at $16,900 for new homes and S13,300
for existing property loans, according to the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board. Generally, however, maturities and loan-to-value ratios were
relaxed somewhat for new home loans and tightened for existing home

For new home loans, the increase in average maturities in
January was to 24.7 years--l.6 years more than a year earlier and
just above the previous high for this series in October of last year.
The increase in loan-to-value ratios was to 74.7 per cent, compared
with 72.3 per cent a year earlier and a previous high of 74.2 per
cent last August.
For existing home loans, maturities dipped to 19.6 years,
in January. This compared with a high of 19.7 years a month earlier
and 18.2 years in January 1963. Loan-to-value ratios this January
declined to 71.0 per cent from 71.6 per cent last* December. In
January of 1963, the average was 69.8 per cent.
Stock prices. Common stock prices increased further last
week in active trading. Prices, as measured by Standard and Poor's
composite index of 500 stocks, rose one per cent to close at a new
all-time peak of 79.14 on March 13. Trading volume averaged 5.6
million shares a day, up 0.4 million shares from the average for the
previous week.

developments is presented in the attached exhibits.

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 and subsequent to the date a placement is reported.
