Margin debt, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange. Although margin debt
until March 1968 included loans secured by U.S. governments, the amount of such
loans included is thought to have been small.
2
"Bank loans to others than brokers and dealers for purchasing or carrying securities other than U.S. governments."
3
The difference between customers' net debit balances and customers'net free credit balances, this figure represents the net credit extended by brokers and
dealers to the nonfinancial public.
NOTE: With the exception of bank loan data, figures are supplied by the New York
Stock Exchange and are end of month data. Bank loans are for weekly reporting
large commercial banks. Broker data includes loans for regulated securities; bank
data includes loans for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any security, whither

regulated or not.

Annual growth rate for monthly data is the annualized monthly percentage increase in deposits.
Net New Money is new deposits net of both withdrawals and interest. Data for S&Ls are for
insured associations only, which represent 96% of industry total resources.
Regular deposits at mutual savings banks exclude items such as Christmas club and certain
escrow accounts, which represent a very small part of total deposits.

are derived directly from unrounded outstandings levels as reported and after
seasonal adjustment by Federal Reserve. Subtotals may not add -to totals because

Monthly data for commercial banks based on Federal Reserve estimates benchmarked
to Call Report data on real estate loans outstanding as available. Other data
derived from mortgage debt outstanding as reported separately by National Assn.
of Mutual Savings Banks, Federal Home Loan Bank Board, Institute of Life Insurance
and, through August 1968, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and thereafter by FNMA and the Government National Mortgage Association. Data for mutual
savings banks and for Life Insurance companies may differ somewhat from those
derived from regular quarterly series because of minor conceptual differences^for
which adjustments are not made in the monthly series. Altogether, these groups
accounted for 87 per cent of the net increase estimated for all holders in 1969.

Note: Under the FNMA auction system, approved sellers of Governmentunderwritten mortgages bid for FNMA forward purchase commitments, subject to an over-all dollar limit announced by FNMA in advance. Bids
accepted by FNMA are for delivery at the seller's option, and at any
time within the specified period. Bids on proposed homes relate to
construction not yet started on which mortgages may be delivered only
after completion and occupancy.
1

For "proposed construction" of new homes only.

2

Average secondary market yield after allowance for commitment fee and
required purchase and holding of FNMA stock, assuming prepayment of
15 years for 30-year Government-underwritten mortgages. Yields shown
are gros.s, before deduction of 38 basis points fee paid by investors
to servicers. Prior to August 10, 1970 the servicing fee was 50 basis points.

... Total starts are Census estimates including farm for both permit-issuing and
• nou-issuing areas. A dwelling unit is started when excavation begins; all units
in an apartment structure are considered started at that time. FHA and VA
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 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. Other starts are derived as a residual, although total and FHA and
VA starts are not strictly comparable in concept or timing; other starts include both units financed by conventional mortgages and units without mortgages.
Building permits before January 1963 are Census estimates for about 10,000 areas
identified as having a ^ocal building permit system in 1959. Estimates beginning
January 1963 are for approximately 12,000 and beginning January 1967 13,000, 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 other differences in timing and coverage.

Neither mortgage nor bond yields include allowance for servicing costs which are
much higher for mortgages than for bonds. Generally, bonds pay interest semiannually; mortgages, monthly. Mortgage yields, if computed as equivalent to
a semi-annual interest investment, would be slightly higher than given in the
table.
Based on FHA-field-office opinions about average bid prices in the private
secondary market for new-home mortgages for immediate delivery. Data shown
are for 30-year mortgages with minimum downpayments, and weighted by probable
volume of transactions. Yields computed by FHA, assuming prepayment period
of 15 years for 30-year mortgages. Dashed lines indicate periods of adjustment to changes in contractual interest rates.

Based on FHA-field-office opinion on typical interest rates (rounded) on conventional first mortgages prevailing in the market areas of insuring officecities. Beginning with April 1960, rate relates only to new-home mortgages;
prior to that date, rate related to both new as well as existing-home mortgages. Dashed line indicates this change in the series.

Compiled by Federal Home Loan Bank Board in cooperation with Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. Data are weighted averages based on probability sample survey of characteristics of conventional first mortgages originated by major institutional lender
group s^(including mortgage companies) for purchase of single family homes. Data exelude loans for refinancing, reconditioning or modernization; construction loans to
home-builders; and permanent loans which are coupled with construction loans to ownerbuilders. Related series on conventional mortgage rates only, based on unweighted
opinions of field-office directors of the Federal Housing Administration, are available
somewhat sooner than the results of the FHLBB-FDIC survey, and are included-in the case
of new home mortgage rates—in Table 16.
