grporate and municipal bond markets. The expected volume of new,
publicly-offered, corporate and municipal securities during this holidayshortened week is below the average weekly volume over the past year. The
small corporate volume features Wisconsin Electric Power's $40 million of
first mortgage bonds while the largest municipal offering will be the State
of Massachusetts' $54.9 million of general obligation bonds. The week's
total volume of long-term offerings will be supplemented by $80 million of
Tennessee Valley Authority bonds.

1/. 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.
While the lagging seasoned corporate yield series was virtually
unchanged last week, yields on new issues declined. The sharp drop in the
new issues series, however, is largely explained by a shift in the volume of
issues carrying call protection. The slightly lower yields on new issues
were notably unattractive to investors; by Friday night only 20 per cent of
the week's major offering had been sold.
Yields on municipals were unchanged last week and in this market
also new issues experienced a very cool reception. By the end of the week
only 47 per cent of the week's small volume of offerings had been sold.
Stock prices. Common stock prices advanced slightly last week in
somewhat reduced trading volume. At the close Friday, Standard & Poor's index
of 500 stocks stood at 103.95, up 0.89 from the previous Friday. Trading
volume averaged 12.4 million shares a day. The Exchanges elected to continue
the 4-day trading week through the end of November.

Note: Averages of offering yields on all new issues of publicly offered corporate bonds rated Aaa,
Aa, and A by Moody's Investors Service (except serial and convertible issues, offerings of natural
gas pipeline and foreign companies, and bonds guaranteed by the Federal Government) weighted by
size of offering. Before averaging, new offerings are adjusted to a composite Aaa basis by
deducting from the actual reoffering yield the excess of the weekly average yield for seasoned
bonds of the appropriate industry-quality group over the composite average for seasoned Aaarated bonds (Moody's). Averages considered unrepresentative because of special characteristics
of the offerings included are denoted by an asterisk.

Issuer and Description of Issue

Caribbean Finance Company (Puerto Rico) Senior
notes maturing July, 1983.

NOTE: For retrospective data on aggregate foreign corporate and government security
offerings in the United States see Exhibits I and J. 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. Full or partial takedown may take place both prior and subsequent to the date
a placement is reported.
