Capital markets in August. During August corporations
publicly offered or privately placed securities with net proceeds of
$850 million to raise new capital, one-third more than the average for
the month over the two previous years.
Public offerings of bonds amounted
tq $380 million, appreciably below the unusually large volume in the
spring and early summer but the highest for any August since 1962.
With the calendar of public offerings building up for the
period after Labor Day and uncertainty over sterling continuing, yields
on new issues of corporate bonds have tended to rise.
Yields on public
offerings of new corporate bonds (Aaa basis), which had stabilized at a
level slightly below the early June peak, resumed their increase in
August and late in the month reached the highest level since the summer
of 1961.
For the week ending September 3, offering yields averaged 4.69-11 basis points higher than in late July and only 2 basis points below
the 1965 peaks of late August.
Because underwriters have been quick to
terminate price restrictions on slow moving issues, unsold syndicate
balances have been kept at a relatively low level.

H. 14

In the municipal bond market, August offerings for new capital
had a par value of about $650 million, one-sixth less than a year
earlier. Sales of refunding issues added about $50 million to this
total. With the new issues volume sharply lower than in recent months,
dealers succeeded in reducing their advertised inventories during the
first half of the month by nearly $50 million, to below $700 million.
After mid-month, however, demand for many new issues was only fair, and
dealers inventories again rose to around $800 million in early September.
Yields on seasoned Aaa-rated issues, which had eased slightly during
early August, rose to 3.18 per cent in early September, the high for the
year and 3 basis points more than in mid-August.
Common stock prices rose substantially in active trading during
August and early September.
Prices--as measured by Standard and Poor's
index of 500 s t o c k s — r o s e over 3 per cent to close at 88.06 on September
3, only 2-1/2 per cent under their all-time high in mid-May.
August
trading volume averaged 5.0 million shares a day.
Estimated security volume in September.
Corporate security
offerings for new capital are expected to total $1,250 million in
September, over one-tenth greater than a year ago.
Financing in this
volume will bring the total for the quarter to a record $3,200 million,
one-fourth more than in the comparable period last year and one-tenth
larger than the previous record third quarter volume of 1957.
Offerings of State and local government bonds for new
capital are estimated at $850 million this month, somewhat less than a
year earlier but nearly twice as large as in September 1963. This would
bring the total for July-September to $2,450 million, about 5 per cent
less than the record third quarter total for last year but appreciably
larger than in the third quarter of any other year.
Changes in investment holdings of selected financial intermediaries
during the first half of 1965.
Depositary-type savings institutions. During the first
half of this year, the combined growth in income-yielding claims on
depositary type savings institutions amounted to a record $16.4 billion,
up 8 per cent from the comparable 1964 period and 3 per cent larger than
the previous record first half gain in 1963.
The record expansion in
these flows this year was entirely attributable to the sharp rise in
time and savings deposits at commercial banks which followed the increase
in interest rates on such deposits announced by many banks at the start
of the year; these deposits rose a record $10.5 billion during the
period, 52 per cent more than in the similar period last year and onetenth more than the previous first half record set in 1962.
Gains in
savings capital at savings and loan associations ($4.2 billion),on the
other hand, were down nearly one-fourth from the first half of last
year, and deposits at mutual savings banks ($1.8 billion) also fell
below last year's levels.
Savings and loan associations adjusted their mortgage lending
activities in line with their reduced inflow of savings capital with
net acquisitions of mortgages ($4.5 billion) one-eight less than a year




H. 14
earlier. At the same time, cash holdings were reduced twice as much as in
the comparable 1964 period and associations found it necessary to
borrow nearly $0.3 billion from the Federal Home Loan Banks whereas they
had made minor net repayments in the first half last year.
The net increase in holdings of mortgages at mutual savings
banks in the first half was $1.9 billion, only about 6 per cent less
than in the similar 1964 period.
Holdings of casn and Governments
increased only one-third as much as last year, but the rise in net
acquisitions of businesses and miscellaneous securities ($0.1 billion)
were somewhat larger.
Life insurance companies. The net gain during January-June in
assets of life insurance companies--excluding valuation adjustments-totaled $3.9 billion, a record for the period and was one-seventh greater
than during the first half last year. Net mortgage acquisitions totaled
a record $2.2 billion, one-seventh more than the previous record first
half total of last year. Net acquisitions of business securities of all
types were a record $1.6 billion, one-sixth more than a year earlier.
This increase was largely the result of an $0.4 billion increase in
holdings of short-term commercial and finance company paper in contrast
to a moderate decline last year. Despite a record volume of acquisitions
of new long-term bonds, maturities of such securities have been rising
sharply recently, and the net increase in insurance company bond holdings
($0.8 billion) was one-fifth less than last year. The net reduction in
holdings of cash and U. S. Government securities combined ($0.5 billion)
was appreciably larger than in the first half last year.
Savings flows in July. During the month of July, expansion
in income-yielding claims on depositary-type savings institutions
totaled $1.4 billion, a record for that month and 15 per cent more than
in July 1964.
As in other recent months, all of the year-over-year gain
took place in time and savings deposits at commercial banks; there was
a sizable net outflow of savings capital at savings and loan associations
in contrast to a nominal inflow a year earlier and the gain in regular
deposits at mutual savings banks was smaller than last year's.
At savings and loan associations, July is normally a month of
heavy withdrawals, but new savings have usually been sufficient to
offset them. The July increase in withdrawals this year was less than
in other recent years, but the inflow of new savings showed much less
than the usual seasonal gain.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, July
showed an inflow that was less than the average for the first six months
of the year, but not so low as in April w h e n withdrawals for payment of
1964 income taxes were larger than usual.

Although growth in regular deposits at mutual savings banks
in July was somewhat smaller than a year earlier, this is partly
attributable to the fact that last year several large New York City
mutuals were conducting intensive compaigns to attract funds received
from the Treasury's maturing "magic fives".
On a seasonally adjusted
basis, the July inflow was exceeded this year only in March, the only
month this year to show a larger gain than in the comparable month of
1964.

For retrospective data on aggregate foreign Corporate and government security offer
ings 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 th<
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 aubsequent to the data a placement is reported.
