NOTE: Distributions for <May and April are derived from reports of 104 banks,

on 21,000 contracts, 15,000 purchased and 6,000 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.
