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 new corporate bonds advanced slightly last w e e k —
the new issue series overstates the extent of the yield increase due to
a shift in characteristics of the component issues. Although the investor
response accorded new issues early in the week was lukewarm, peace rumors
late in the w e e k generated additional investor interest. By the end of
the week, all of the new issues were sold out.
Municipal bond yields also advanced last week. New issues
were received poorly at yield levels higher than the w e e k earlier, and
only about one-half of the new issues were spoken for by the close on
Friday.

October 7, following a downtrend which began in mid-June.
By October 28,
fields on 6-month commitments had risen 7 basis points above their
tecent low — m u c h less than the sharp rise in corporate and municipal
yields.
The higher yields on the FNMA forward commitments suggest that
builders and lenders expect a somewhat higher trend in mortgage rates
to be forthcoming.
The increase in the implicit yield since early October occurred
during a period when the total weekly dollar volume of accepted bids rose
from $35 to $50 million. The increase in the auction limit was in part
as a result of a greater demand for FNMA funds -- measured by bid received.
Regionally the Los Angeles and Chicago districts continued to
receive the largest share of accepted bids in the four October auctions.
The remaining three FNMA districts combined
Atlanta, Dallas and
Philadelphia -- accounted for less than half of all bids accepted by FNMA
during October.
Stock market. Common stock prices fell slightly last week.
Standard & Poor's index of 500 stocks closed on Friday at 103.06, a loss
of 1.14 points from the w e e k earlier. Trading volume averaged 14.1
million shares a day, 1.0 million below the w e e k earlier pace.

developments is presented in the attached exhibits.

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 issue's-, 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 iri 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.
