NOTE:
Distributions for November and October are derived from reports of 102 banks,
52 of which reported dealer cost ratios as well as maturities. The November maturity
distribution for new cars shown on pages 1 and 2 is based on 26,000 contracts,

on'12,000 contracts 9,000
purchased and 3,000 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.
