CAPITAL MARKET-DEVELOPMENTS
IR THE^UNITED STATES
,?
Corporate and municipal bond markets. Corporate
security offerings for new capital this week will aggregate
somewhat more than the weekly average over the past year.
Over1 70 per cent of this week's offerings, however, will be
accounted for by the inclusion of rights offerings which
will expire during the week. Municipal issues for new capital will total substantially less than the weekly average
in this market.

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

A good reception was afforded all major corporate
debt issues reaching the public market last week. All issues
have been sold out and underwriters currently have no issues
in syndicate. New issue yields declined 11 basis points
while seasoned corporate bond yields advanced 5 basis points,
thus narrowing the spread between these two series to a somewhat more normal level.
The huge New Jersey Turnpike Authority offering
scheduled for last week was cancelled due to the relatively
high interest cost which was encountered in the single bid
for the issue. Municipal yields declined 4-5 basis points
as the new issues offered last week were enthusiastically
received.

Stock market credit. Total customer credit in the
stock market increased $224 million to almost $8.0 billion
during the month of February. Host of this increase was due
to a $202 million advance in the level of customers' net
debit balances.
Customers' net free credit balances rose $35 million
to $1.8 billion--a r e c o r d — w h i l e member firms of the New York
Stock Exchange borrowed $11 million more over the January
level. More detailed information on changes in stock market
credit in recent months is shown in the table on the following page.
Private housing starts and permits. Seasonally
adjusted private housing starts, which had begun to decline
in January, dropped further in February to an annual rate of
1,318 thousand, the lowest rate since early 1963. The decline in February amounted to 17 per cent and was from a
January rate that had been revised upward by 3 per cent.
The continued unsettled nature of underlying
mortgage market conditions appears to have been a factor
in the decline this year. However, interpretation of the
influence of this factor on the magnitude of the drop is
difficult because of the inherent volatility of the series
and the special effect of variable weather conditions.
These were much more favorable than usual in December (when
starts soared to an annual rate of 1,769 thousand) and were
much less so in February.
On a three-month moving average basis, starts in
the December-February period were at an average annual rate
of 1,557 thousand, compared with 1,633 thousand in the
November-January period and 1,505 thousand for all of 1965.
For the first two months of this year, the average annual
rate was 1,451 thousand, about the same as the recent low
reached in the third quarter of last year.
Government-underwritten starts accounted for
19 per cent of total starts in February. This was a
somewhat higher proportion than a year earlier.
Permits also declined further in F e b r u a r y — b y
9 per cent from the revised (upward) January rate. Singlefamily and multi-family structures both showed about the
same relative decline. While all regions shared in the drop,
it was particularly sharp in the Northeast.
Stock prices. Common stock prices declined last
week in reduced trading. Gains registered in the latter
part of the week were of insufficient magnitude to erase
