^CAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE UNITED STATES

P ] 0 1963
'he volume of public security financing to obtain new capital
was very light this past week, but is expected to pick up substantially
t-hi6-~week»_i This past week, ended September 6 ^ no large corporate issues
were offered, and a $36 million State of Washington issue was the only
large State and local government bond issue sold. This week, ending
September 13, a $100 million corporate issue and two large State and
local issues with par value of $36 million are scheduled for offering.
Bond yields. Yields on most seasoned long-term bonds rose
.last week. U. S. Government bond yields, after a month of stability,
rose four basis points. reflecting largely the scope of the Treasury's
refunding offering; this brought them back to 4.03 per cent, the high
for the year. Aaa-rated corporate bond yields were up one basis point
to 4.30 per cent, the highest'level since late last September, while
yields on Baa-rated issues also increased a basis point to 4.84 per cent.
Yields on Aaa-rated State and local government bonds advanced three basis
points to 3.12 per cent, the highest level since mid-August 1961; Baarated municipal yields, however, were stable.
Yields on new corporate bonds, adjusted to an Aaa basis,
averaged 4.35 per cent last week, up eight basis points from the early
August level and the highest since last summer.
Short- and intermediate-term interest rates. Rates on Treasury
bills declined somewhat from their recent highs last week, but yields
on intermediate-term U. S. Government obligations continued to rise.
Rates on 3-month and 6-month bills fell three and two basis points,
respectively; yields on 3-5 year Government obligations rose three
basis points further to 3.88 per cent, the highest level since early
February 1962. The average effective Federal funds rate went back to
3.50 per cent. Other rates were unchanged.
Mortgage recordings. Seasonally adjusted nonfarm mortgage
recordings of $20,000 or less expanded 3 per cent further in May, the
latest period for which data are available on a three-month moving
average basis. The monthly rate of $3,060 million was a new high and
was 8 per cent above a year earlier.
Federally underwritten mortgages accounted for 20 per cent
of total loans recorded in June. This share compared with 21 per cent
in May, but was the same as a year earlier and moderately higher than
in June of 1961.




-2-

H. 14

The average size of all loans recorded increased in June to
112.8 per cent of the 1959 average. This was also a new high, although
the increase this June was less pronounced than in the corresponding
period a year earlier.
Stock prices. Common stock prices advanced further in very
active trading last week. Prices, as measured by Standard and Poor's
composite index of 500 stocks, closed at 72.84 on September 6, slightly
below the new all-time peak reached the previous day. Trading volume
averaged 6.1 million shares a day, 1.4 million shares more than the
previous week and the highest average since the near-record of early
June 1962.More detailed information concerning recent capital market
developments is presented in the attached exhibits.

Note: For retrospective data on aggregate foreign corporate and government

relationship between the data shown in this Exhibit and that shown in Exhibits I
and J because the 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 subsequent to the date a placement is reported.
