\f Contract balance excludes finance and insurance charges.
* Less than one-tenth of one per cent.
NOTE: Distributions for March and February are derived from reports of 109 banks,
70 of which reported dealer cost ratios as well as maturities. The March maturity
distribution for new cars shown on pages 1 and 2 is based on 36,000 contracts,
25,000 purchased and 11,000 direct. The cross-classification on this page is based
on 20,000 contracts, 16,000 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.
Details may not add to totals because of rounding.
