* Less than one-tenth of one per cent.
NOTE: Distributions for November and October are derived from reports of 100 banks,
60 of which reported dealer cost ratios as well as maturities. The October maturity
distribution for new cars shown on pages 1 and 2 is based on 36,000 contracts,
26,000 purchased and 10,000 direct. The cross-classification on this page is based
on 18,000 contracts, 14,000 purchased and 4,000 direct. The data are not intended
to be estimates for all commercial banks and are not comparable with previous
releases since composition of the group of banks changes from month to month.
